It looks like all of the Premier League clubs that joined the European Super League have decided to withdraw from the competition. Manchester City firstly decided to do it and Chelsea followed them. And now all of them did the same. Then it means that UEFA won this battle at least for now.
This league will never happen officially together with UEFA Champions League or Europa League. The Super League can be hold in summer that is the period for training, etc. when players and clubs are free from national leagues, UEFA Champions League, Europa League and international tournaments (Euro, World Cup, Coppa America, etc.).

Sadly if it is hold on such period, its attraction will be smaller. It looks like a friendly tournament. I don't remember the names of those tournaments but big clubs already have such in the summer: in the USA, in Italy, etc. Someone knows the name can help.

Withdrawal fees

Exchanges charge customers high transaction fees, always. They charge you the same withdrawal fee and don't care about how much (small or big in $ value) your withdrawal transaction is.

It can be explained from the basics for bitcoin transaction fee that depends on four things
- Number of inputs
- Number of outputs
- Transaction type: Legacy (1), Nested Segwit (3), Native Segwit (bech32 -  bc1)
- Rate of fee (per byte or per virtual byte) you use for your transaction
The first three things contribute to make the total size of your transaction.
- The less inputs and less outputs, the less total size
- With same inputs, outputs, your transaction size will be smallest with Native Segwit, then Nested Segwit and Legacy (largest) transaction types. Segwit and Native Segwit transaction types help to to have smaller size because of weight units and virtual size.

Exchanges do batch transactions (1 or 2 inputs and chunks of ouputs) to reduce transaction size and save transaction fees on their sides. They charge all related customers with high withdrawal fees. You can not avoid this cost if you use exchanges and withdraw your bitcoin from their platforms.

Highly trusted exchanges can be used to store your bitcoin like Binance. You can sell your bitcoin when price moves up too high and you won't have to pay multiple transaction fees: withdrawal after buying it, deposit back to exchange when you need to sell it.

Not your keys, not your coins but with small amount, I think it is the only choice for you.

Tutorial to take profit to fiat:
- Sell your bitcoin to Tether USD (USDT).
- Sell your Tether USD to your fiat, choose the chain is TRC20 or BSC to save fee. Fee of USDT transaction on ERC20 chain is very expensive.

Plagiarisms are handle very strictly in this forum. Permanent bans and most of banned users don't have successful ban appeals. Alternatives to Permabans for plagarism was raised and some users made ban appeals, get successful ones to have softener bans (signature bans for 6 months, 1 year, 2 years).

To get successful ban appeal and softener bans, they have to contribute many positive things in the past.

  • Plagiarism: If you copy some text from somewhere, then you should have a good reason for it, and you must link to the source. Doing otherwise is plagiarism. Changing a few words around doesn't matter. If we find that you plagiarized, then you absolutely will be permanently banned, even if we find it years after you did it.

Warning: Anyone caught copying other users' posts or plagiarising content from elsewhere on the web will be immediately permabanned. You shouldn't need a warning to know that this isn't acceptable under any circumstances.

There's been no policy change. redsn0w wasn't permanently banned due to several factors which made me think that permabanning him would be a net negative for the forum. Nobody is banned strictly because of "the rules"; it's always handled case-by-case, but almost always, plagiarists deserve to be permabanned.

If you think that a ban should be ended, make your case in a new topic from a "good for the forum as a whole" perspective.


A few people have their bans removed for numerous reasons. It's not plagiarism if it's your own work and if you can prove that then the ban should be lifted in those cases.

I wont be surprised to see Mourinho coach teams like Leeds, Wolves or Crystal Palace soon though lol. He brought this to himself, the reason that he failed was because he keep on blaming shit to everyone else but himself. His strategy no longer works but he refuses to adapt to this changes.

Kinda feel nostalgic, most people in this thread used to write about how good Mourinho was in the early season and keep saying that Ole should be sacked lol
I disagree. Coaches can not play on behalf of players and can not control every moments in matches. Players can make mistakes that cause a draw, a loss. Spurs is the club that lost many points after score first and end the first half with leading goals.

It can be a fault from Mourinho but can also be faults from players. It is same for goalkeepers who can easily to be blamed with conceded goals. In fact the defense system and many team mates have to be responsible for conceded goals or shots on target from opponents.

The football change a lot and directors in past few years are not patience as in the past. Tuchel brought PSG to Champions League final match and was sacked a few months later. Mourinho and Spurs began the first half of this season very well and now he was sacked. The same sad story for Lampard in Chelsea.

Solskajer is very lucky as he got patient and good support from Manchester United director boards.

Yes, playing on multiple fronts is too tiring for the Real players, besides, Real is a team that short of players, infect covid-19, get injury, by suspension­, what a disastrous football team.
They should have given a break before they broke themselves with serious injuries. La Liga can be forgotten and it will do help Real Madrid to win Champions League with best player resources.

Zidane officially talked about the physical pressure on his players and I think he will try to focus on Champions League.


Giving up  La Liga, and focusing on Champions League is absolutely a good idea i think. What Real need to do is defeating Chelsea and the final opponent. In consideration of Real has a very high final winning rate, it is a great possibility that Real win the Champions League.

Agree, if I were Zidane and could choose, I would try to focus on the international competitions. Atletico de Madrid seems to be quite difficult to deal with this year and it is a team known for fighting hard for every point. International competitions are never easy but on a year like this, they help much more the finances of next year, possibly without the COVID restrictions or with a lesser version of them.
I agree with you all. Real Madrid hold a record of total trophies in Champions League. They have very good rate to win final matches. The challenge for them is Chelsea and if they manage to beat Chelsea, they have very high probability to win Champions League. History has its importance and support for Real Madrid.

Sergio Ramos will leave the club and the generation with many players who play with Ramos over the past decade will leave the club soon. The trophy in this season can be the last outstanding moment from them.

If you force yourself to invest simply because you missed one or some great bull runs of any cryptocurrency, you will put yourself under a pressure of choosing one. It results in arbitrary choices and potential serious wrong choices. All of them potentially cause your dramatic losses.

Do your investigations and make your investments if you see good entries and some reasons for future growths. Cheap price does not mean it will move up.

Others gave you very good replies and I only warn you about swap (convert) USDT on ERC20 chain to ERC20 tokens and from ERC20 tokens to USDT. The swap fee is very expensive and you will get troubles if you swap with small amount.

You will have to pay more than $30 to $50 for one swap. That is terrible expensive.

The website Gasnow can help you to check gas price on ERC20 chain.

Swaps are related to ERC20 chain so three articles can give you more information.

I wondered if Real players could endure such an effort and it's obvious that they can't and it will be very difficult for them to follow Barcelona and Atletico until the end of the season.
Zidane had only 13 available senior players for this match yesterday.
Zidane and his players do all they can to get total points in La Liga and a spot in semi final of Champions League. I think they can sacrifice the La Liga and spend all human resources, concentration and mentality for Champions League.

They are not in a too bad position in La Liga but focus on both can end with failures in both competitions. The Champions Leauge is hard to say but if they have to choose one, it should be Champions League not the La Liga.

3 more matches and I think Real Madrid can beat Chelsea. In the final match, they can beat PSG or Manchester City. Tough task of course but more possible than La Liga.

If FIFA or UEFA find Zlatan guilty in all this, this will be forced retirement for him no two ways about it because his already at the end of his career and waiting another 3year's is not on his wishlist.
I would be very sad if Zlatan ends his career like that. His career won't last too long without restrictions from FIFA or UEFA but I would be happy if he retires as a legendary player and no drama or punishments. He deserves so and I am not fan of Zlatan but indeed he is one of greatest players in the era of Messi and Ronaldo. Behind Messi and Ronaldo, who are the best players?

I think Zlatan is the third best player in football in the past two decades. He scores more than 500 goals in his career. Zlatan's Career statistics

im trying to make some payments using BTC and Electrum

I owe somebody $25 USD. And im trying to make the payment. But the recommended Fee is almost $9!! That is ridiculously high just to make a payment...

I need to make the payment in the next few hours, and would like a little help with some resources to learn on how to manage my fees better? Because im always paying an extremely high price on the fees.
Next few hours, next few days, you will be in bad condition. The mempool is very heavy now with more than 200 MB of waiting transactions. The fee rates are using currently at the tip of mempool are from 170 to 200 sat/vbyte. Those fee rates are 40 or 50 times higher and more expensive than weeks ago.
Johoe's Bitcoin Mempool Statistics
Mempool.space
You can check mempool stats with one of two websites.

The panic on the market will not bring cheaper fee for you in next few days.

Currently it is set at 66.6 sat/byte for a fee of 0.00014918 btc. = $8.42 usd. I have a legacy wallet.
66.6 sat/vbyte is not bad at all but you need to wait. Your transaction can be confirmed today or next few days if bitcoin has a side way.

You use Electrum wallet that has options for Legacy and Segwit address. Why do you not use Segwit address (begins with bc1)?

The last newest version (4.1.1 and 4.1.2) of Electrum wallet only give you Segwit address if you use the newest versions to create a new wallet. Segwit (Bech32) address and Segwit transactions can help you to save transaction fees.

Being an open source doesn't mean its secured, reliable and can be trusted.
It is my opinion too.

Quote
There are lots of open source project that become scam, failed because of their scammer and incompetent team while there are successful closed source project because of the opposite.
Projects can be different than wallets if consider their usecases. I know what you implied with opened source projects that simply copy, paste sourced codes of other trusted projects. They simply create their copycat blockchains and are unable to create any real and good products. They steal money by fund raising and scam exit at all time highs.

If a new wallet is built up from the sourced code of other trusted wallet, can it be used as a scam wallet? I don't know how it will be done. If sourced code is the same, and no suspicious codes are hidden, I don't think scammers can steal crypto of users by any means.

Anything which stores money, or operates similar to a bank should be open sourced in my opinion. I couldn't recommend a wallet which is intended to store value, which is closed source. Yeah, its quite obvious that just being open source does not mean its secure or even trustworthy, but any software which offers the ability for you to check the code yourself, is always going to be infinitely better than one that doesn't.
It is better for coders for but people who simply use a wallet, are not able check codes, it is vague belief for them. They have to blindly believe in verifications of community that one opened source wallet is good.

Quote
There was some cons to open source software, where they might be easier to exploit. Malicious users might take a look at the code, and identify areas which they can exploit. However, on the contrary there's also those that will be able to improve the code by taking a look at it. So, there's a contrast there which can have negatives, and benefits. However, generally I believe that it has more benefits.
Thank you for this point.
2553  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: April 19, 2021, 01:14:30 AM
Atletico Madrid is back in form. After losing 5 points in two matches, they got a huge 5-0 win against Eibar today. Angel Correa, Marcos Llorente and Carrasco played just great. Correa has two goals and one assist. Atletico Madrid's return to form will make the fight for the title more competitive. Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid is now 4 points ahead of Real Android.
Atletico Madrid was back on time, on a very decisive phase of La Liga. Any expanding gap in this phase will be important for the final result of La Liga competition. All teams have been tired and one or two failures in this period will be ending points for the competition.

Real Madrid seems to waive their flag and surrendered and I think they will focus for the Champions League with 3 maximum matches to win and get the trophy.

It was a big fat and flawless win for Atletico Madrid, It's very unusual for Atletico Madrid to score more than two goals, but they scored 5 today moreso without their talisman and top scorer, Luis Suarez.
It is a key match to bring confidence back to Atletico Madrid. Barcelona is under pressure to win their match. If they drop points, Atletico Madrid will need to win 6 per 7 matches to get the trophy. It is a perfect form and only needed if Real Madrid and Barcelona win their rest 7 matches.

So, Real failed to beat Getafe and game ended 0:0. Honestly, it's that game where I expected to see Real dropping points - Getafe looks so poor this season. But today they played very well. Yes, Real were missing some players, but I think it's not excuse when you're playing against Getafe.
This result is obviously good for Atletico who trashed Eibar 5:0 and Barca who haven't played this round. It's damn hot on the top.
Zidane expected the things when he told that his players reached their limits physically. He knows his players are great but with intensity to play in the rescheduled fixtures because of pandemic and the serious injury wave in his squad, the rest healthy players have to use more than 100% energy to play.

Such efforts help Real Madrid to keep up their hope to win trophies but it won't be a guarantee that they will win all. Zidane is very wise say this fact ahead of time. It help him to avoid troubles with accusations. Anyway, will he leave Real Madrid in the summer?
2554  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The bad side of close source wallets on: April 18, 2021, 12:56:52 PM
For me, there is no specific bad side to a close source Bitcoin wallet. Because close source means blind beliefs. If you are using a closed source wallet that means you are trusting them blindly.
I know the risks of close source wallets but not all people are coders. If they are coders, it does not mean they are good coders or security experts to detect suspicious codes in source code of wallet (open source wallet).

Hence, for me and others who are not coders, I have to blindly believe on what the community verify. Community verified open source wallets are better than close source wallets in this view.

With old historic and trusted close source wallets, I can believe in them. I don't prioritize close source wallets for my choice

You created the wallet in 2017 if I got your information correctly.

Do you still have access to the email you used to create that wallet on blockchain.info (now is Blockchain.com)?

If you still have access to that email, you can ask for the wallet ID.
But the wallet ID is not enough, after you get it, you still need your wallet password.

Do you still remember your wallet password?
If you don't have it, the only hope is wallet seeds.

If you don't have anything, I am sorry you lost that wallet.

If a member in one Telegram group contacts you first with the username of admins or moderators of that group. It is very highly that member is a scammer. Admin or moderator of group won't send you a PM first.

It is more true if the PM is talking about private key, mnenonic seed, or deal to make deposit to any address. It is very easily to detect scammers who impersonate admin or moderator.

PM first and ask for some information about your crypto, deposit, anything that can help them to compromise your wallet, accounts and steal your crypto.

when I look at the stand in this session Chelsea at 5th position, almost the same as 2012. we can go to Wikipedia resource 2012 and 2021, look at the picture below, position manager changed, the situation is the same when Tuchel shifted Lampard position. I won't predict too much, however, Chelsea will get one (or both) trophy this year.
It can be some coincidences so far but the history does not have to repeat itself. Chelsea don't must to win trophy because of history. They will not win trophies because of history will support them.

They have to fight and beat their opponents to get trophies. Real Madrid first in the semi final around and Manchester City or PSG in the final match. I think PSG will bring more challenges to Chelsea than Manchester City. Playing with club comes from the same league can be a gift. They are familiar with each other and can make decent plans to win.

Chelsea have to beat Real Madrid and after that they can dream more.

you want it to be safe? if you store your eth in exchange it's not safe, you need to store it in a hardware wallet, make sure you don't lose it, or use myetherwallet, keep the key, and never share it with anyone, never login to other peoples computer or in an internet cafe where you don't know if there is a keylogger or something, open your wallet to you own pc to make sure it's always safe.
To be safe, hardware wallet is not the only wallet to use. You can protect your cryptocurrencies if you are good at security for your passwords (wallet files, computer log-in sessions, etc.) and care about the websites you visit, then any link you receive (click on it or ignore it).

With MyEtherWallet, people can choose a password or not choose it.

If you choose extra word, at least 9 characters, you will have a different wallet.
You can test it by create a wallet on Myetherwallet, choose extra words and try to log in your wallet with and without extra word.
You will get two different wallets with different addresses (after you log in).

If you send your ETH or ERC-20 token to extra word wallet, and don't save the extra word, you will lose those crypto. The wallet without extra word will be a different one and the ETH or ERC-20 token you send to extra-word wallet will not be existed in non extra word wallet.

now, we could have chance to bet all the England finalists.

Champions League; Manchester City vs Chelsea
Uefa League: Manchester United vs Arsenal.

my sat guess 1 of manchester (the city or red devil) will get one of the trophies.
Manchester United are not strong enough to 100% win the Europa League trophy. The same for Manchester City in Champions League.

I would like to see PSG win the Champions League the first time with the Arabian owners. It will be a booster for the club and the next season will be more interesting when PSG, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich will have more transfers to strengthen their power.

I think you are too optimistic with 2 internal England final matches. Chelsea and Arsenal are not too strong and they will have many challenges from opponents in the semi final matches.
