@Baofeng. If Teofimo Lopez vs. Pedro Campa is the main event, can you also include the other fights in the list for this whole event? Brandon Figueroa vs. Carlos Castro was a fight last week that we did not discuss because we did not know it was part of Vargas vs. Magsayo hehehe.

@SammyGambler. I am very sorry, however, you should stop spamming this thread with your problem. We know it already and we cannot do anything about this except listen to your complaints and give you some suggestions on what to do. If you want to continue to talk about it, create a thread in scam accusations subforum.

It also might be because difficulty might be starting to go down again, similar to what happened on May to July 2021. There is no other explanation except some of the less competitive miners who cannot maintain a positive cash flow will decide to stop operating. This does not last for a long time, however. Cost of mining will rise again after a few months.

@bbc.reporter, I don't think that such individuals are important for Bitcoin, at least not in the long term and in the big picture.

I very much agree. I am only saying that the bitcoin community has lost a very intelligent man who has been making good arguments for why bitcoin should adopted by much of the people in the world. Many of his arguments are very much similar to Andreas Antonopolous.

It also appears the bitcoin maximalists are pushing away some of the smart people and support those people who are willing to continue the circle jerk. We should be more careful because this might be the community's own undoing.
2565  Economy / Gambling / Re: Cloudbet | Bitcoin Casino & Sportsbook | The No.1 Bitcoin Gambling Site on: July 15, 2022, 03:56:27 AM
^ I don't think so, I have a little bit of research on the scam accusation board and it seems there are too many threads that appear regarding cloudbet reputation. Usually and the common problem is that they don't read first the ToS of the casino and they commit a violation and then now, blame the casino because they are a scam. I don't know Cloudbet because I never played their gambling casino but I think the problem is that the Tos should be read.
Probably OP needs to extend here/his patient right now.
Yes they have had issues in the past just like any of the oldest casinos, I think I remember tagging them at one point when there was no response by them but they did come around and resolved the issue (that was the last time their rep account was active here). From that time, I haven't seen any major complaint about them in the scam accusations board.

When were those accusations made? If it was during a bear market, I speculate that similar to other businesses in the cryptospace that went through cashflow problems, Cloudbet might have also had a difficult time in balancing their accounting hehe. However, it has been tested that they will not scam their users. There might only be delays in withdrawals.
2566  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: July 15, 2022, 03:27:37 AM

I believe PPV sharing is probably the main reason why they haven't come up with a deal yet. Spence's previous PPV buys are a little better than Crawford's. Spence also has more belts to offer in the division but Crawford is the only ATG of the two.   


There's no other reasons, Crawford here has to agree with a small share because Spence will not agree with a 50/50 share.
he has more belts and he has a better PPV record in the past compared to Crawford.

We get it, Crawford is also a champion but Spence have proven enough based on the numbers he have.

However, Spence versus Crawford might be the biggest payperview revenue in the history of boxing. It might be more than the payperview numbers of Mayweather versus Pacman. It would be very stupid for Terence Crawford's team to not demand a share equal to Spence's share.
2567  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: According to Sam Bankman-Fried, some Bitcoin exchanges are insolvent on: July 15, 2022, 02:20:54 AM
@stompix. Yes I am also very skeptical on what Sam's real agenda might be. Everyone should know that he is one of the largest donators to the democratic party in America. I speculate that he would be one of the first people who politicians will consult with in creating laws in regulating the cryptospace. He will certainly use this to gain an advantage against his competitors.
2568  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2022-07-14] Nic Carter vs. The Bitcoin Maximalists on: July 15, 2022, 01:33:37 AM
@Lucius. Yes this is a problem because much of the community only knows and listens to Max Keisler and Michael Saylor and consider them as something similar to leaders of the community. However, when you listen to them speak, they only extend the bitcoin maximalism circle jerk preaching like this is a religion. It is head shaking why many people listen to them.

In any case, I am not saying you are part of those people.
2569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: July 14, 2022, 06:28:38 AM
I know everyone in this thread hates the Cowboys, however, what is everyone's analysis and opinion on Dak Prescott?

Probably a better Bet than Lance but just. Wink

But just? I speculate Trey Lance might not be ready to be their first quarterback again for this season hehehe. This might also be why San Francisco does not want to trade Jimmy Garoppolo. I might be wrong, however, for those rookie quarterbacks of last year, it might be Mac Jones who might have a successful season this year.

San Francisco absolutely wants to trade Jimmy Garoppolo, they just haven't gotten any good enough offers yet.  It's the same thing as Baker Mayfield and the Browns.  They had to wait a while to trade him because teams simply weren't willing to give up much as well as it takes time after the draft for teams to get everything in order.  Not to mention the longer teams wait to go get a QB, the lesser that QB will cost. Both Jimmy and Baker aren't that great, and so teams knew other teams wouldn't rush to go get either and that they have time to negotiate the selling team down.  Jimmy may start, he may not.  A lot of "experts" predict that Lance will be their day 1 starter.  The other thing is he may become more valuable as the season goes on.  If a good and likely playoff bound team has a QB go down, then Jimmy G becomes pretty valuable as a solid game manager that could potentially get them to the SB as he won't help them win it as much as he won't likely help them lose it. 

I agree with this, the 9ers are ready to move on from Garoppolo, and more importantly, so are the fans.  The trouble is it's just like ChiBitCTy said; Garoppolo isn't a great quarterback, but he's far from a bad one either.  He wins games, look no further than his record as a starter with 49ers for proof.  It's the must-win games and moments when he seems to have trouble.  I won't blame all that on Garoppolo, it's largely the coach's responsibility to get his players in the right mind set.  It's been obvious to Garoppolo and the fans that Shanahan doesn't trust him, and that's Garoppolo's biggest problem.

Look at the plays that Shanahan called during the fourth quarter of their Super Bowl loss, Shanahan wasn't playing Garoppolo to win, he was playing not-to-lose.

Okay I was wrong in speculating that Jimmy G remains to be wanted by his team hehe. However, in your honest opinion, should Kyle Shanahan trade Garoppolo and put all his trust on Trey Lance as first quarterback for this new season?

In any case, I saw someone mention in social media that Zach Wilson is a good bet for the regular season's MVP. I do not know if this is a joke because of those sleeping with mom's friend news or if the Jet's offensive line really has improved with new trades.
2570  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: July 14, 2022, 05:12:50 AM
It appears that we have 2 sexy fighting kittens for this event hehehe. Miesha "Cupcake" Tate and Michelle "Karate Hottie" Waterson.

Karate Hottie appears to be very underestimated for this fight. She is more experienced in the octagon and she also has improved her wrestling skills to control those opponents that are bigger than her. Amanda Lemos is strong, however, she is also not very good.



There other sexy fighting kitten might not be a kitten. She is a sexy fighting leopard hehehe. I do not mind to my money in her. She is also a former champion who should never be underestimated.

This meme was shared by a respected whale and social media influencer. The logo on the left is Celsius, the logo on right is 3 Arrows Capital. The face in the middle is Sam Trabucco, the CEO of Alameda Research, a cryptoventure fund and market maker connected to FTX.

I am not quite certain what is being implied in this meme, however, Celsius, 3 Arrows are bankrupt and Alameda Research was discovered to have an unpaid loan with Voyager.



@Daltonik, @adaseb, @zasad@. Do you have your own speculations on this?
2572  Bitcoin / Press / [2022-07-14] Nic Carter vs. The Bitcoin Maximalists on: July 14, 2022, 03:05:12 AM
How is bitcoin maximalism presently taken by everyone in bitcointalk? Is it still strong or is it beginning to become weaker after 10 years?

In any case, the bitcoin community lost a smart man when it went against Nic Carter. I do not agree with all of his arguments, however, he is certainly one of the best representatives for bitcoin with arguements based on reality. Many people might disagree but he is certainly smarter than Max Keisler.



The fight began when Carter and his fund, Castle Island Ventures, announced an equity investment in a start-up called Dynamic. Dynamic is building a wallet-based platform with decentralized identity features, one of the most interesting applications of Web3 technology.

The problem is that Dynamic is multichain. For self-declared bitcoin maximalists, this amounts to heresy. That’s almost literal, as we’ll get into, because bitcoin maximalism possesses many features of a religion – and maxis were under the impression Carter was one of them.

Someone said that the crypto gambling space is like a wild west... I guess this situation proves that claim!

I only had one account. They (sandboxcasino and owlGames) are holding their hat on the fact I used the same VPN IP address as these other players.

Free or paid VPN?! What do you have? ...if it's free I think it's that gray zone, and in the wild west stronger always wins!

It was a paid VPN that offers a free 7 day trial.  I even provided them proof of purchase showing I used it well after any other accounts they claimed I was associated with. Sandboxcasino knows damn well I’m NOT associated with any low limit bonus abuser account. I played high limit $360/spins and never used a bonus.

Sandboxcasino completely dodged any questions and refused to provide requested documentation to CasinoGuru complaint. Their replies show they never had any intention of paying me.  I’m sure sandboxcasino felt empowered to use multiple excuses because they had the backing of OWL.GAMES who interjected their comments in my emails to Sandboxcasino.  I blame sandboxcasino for being a scam casino and owl.games for allowing them to perpetuate the scam using the software they provided.  Not only am I out the $4,700 I deposited, but I’m also out the life changing $127,000 I won fair and square.

Here is the CasinoGuru complaint where sandboxcasino management dodges questions and responsibility:  

https://casino.guru/sandboxcasino-io--player-s-struggling-to-withdraw

Have you checked your Binance smartchain wallet already? I am quite certain there is $5k in BUSD held in there because the wallet is controled only by you.

In any case, we also have a scam accusations subforum where you can create a thread and you can tell what happened to you and Sandboxcasino with more details. Showing screenshots of emails and transactions will certainly help.
2574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Teofimo Lopez vs Pedro Campa - Aug 13 on: July 13, 2022, 01:55:55 AM
Does anyone know what cause Lopez to move to other weight division? Last Canelo fight showed, that being so self confident and moving to other division ends bad. Why not try to regain belts back? What was all that shouts "I am the best", after winning Lomachenko, for ? Why not make make a second fight against Lomachenko, I am sure Loma will instantly accept it. Or a rematch with Kambosos ?

It cannot be compared, I reckon. I am not very certain how good Pedro Campa is in the ring, however, on Canelo's move to a higher weight division, his team has underestimated Bivol. Bivol was discovered to be one of the kings of light heavyweight where he has been holding a WBA title since 2017. Lopez's father might have chosen an opponent that he knows his son can knockout hehehe.
2575  Economy / Speculation / Re: Has crypto capitulated? on: July 13, 2022, 01:26:34 AM
I reckon if someone asks if crypto has capitulated, this might imply that it has not yet capitulated. There are still many people who are not living in reality and has not considered that it is very much possible that bitcoin can go -40% lower from where the price is presently. Everyone is still buying the dip when it is much more advisable to hold dollars or stablecoins during the bear market.

However hehehehe, if we did not have a blow off top, there might not have a capitulation?
2576  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻 on: July 13, 2022, 12:47:39 AM
Investment is about profit and loss but it is far from gambling. A new research by JP Morgan Chase & Co. stated that U.S. wealth has plunged by $5 trillion in 2022, down from $13 trillion to $8 trillion; mostly from a sour stock market, that’s the risk of investing. The government of my state used tax payer’s money and invested over 100 million Dollars on a monorail project and the investment partners withdrew from the projects and it became a wasted fund. That project when completed would have increase the internal generated revenue of the state. We know government is accountable to the people; hence they must use the state resources prudently. But if government must invest, they must also bear the risk. El Salvador government has chosen to invest in Bitcoin, haters should give them time to prove that it is not a bad decision. Bitcoin might not be the best investment, but is one of the best options.

I am not talking about profit or loss and I am also not saying that taking risks in bitcoin is bad if done properly. I am saying that it will not look very good if El Salvador goes into an economic crisis while their president has boasted on social media of buying bitcoin dips which only go lower. Also, the cheers from the community on a president who is using taxpayer's money to buy a risk asset is head shaking. What if bitcoin falls to $12,000? What if it does not recover?
2577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: July 12, 2022, 03:50:35 AM
^^ Well Floyd has a obvious hidden agenda to tell us that there is negotiations, because he wanted Crawford to be his manager. And maybe if Bud Crawford will sign with him, then that is the time that this fight is going to be made, hehehe. But still the fight can still be made in October, we still have 3 months of it and many things can happen along the way to put this fight in schedule at least for this year.

There might be some truth in what Floyd Mayweather is speculating despite having a hidden agenda, however. He might have information of the sensitive occurrences in those negotiations. Also, I disagree that Spence vs. Crawford will be this year if October schedule is not confirmed. I speculate that it might be on 2023 or 2024.

Could be, but it will be definitely Floyd hand has some "blessings" in this fight. Him and Crawford in public together? hmmm your guess is as good as mine. Maybe not direct manager per se, but Crawford might be asking for some advise  from him. And if everything is not settled within the time frame, then maybe next year is the schedule and it could be in Floyd's backyard of Las Vegas. And imagine the money that is going to flow on fight night, casino's, hotels everyone will be making money out of this mega fight.

You might be correct and it might not only be asking for advice. It might also be a business agreement between the 2 boxers for Mayweather promotions to have the rights on the other sources of revenue that they have always used to get more profit outside of the fighter's prize money.

I read an article where it was mentioned that Mayweather promotions has been spending millions and make business deals with restaurants and vendors to be the provider of food and drinks for many of the biggest boxing events.
2578  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Kucoin users, are your withdrawals okay? on: July 12, 2022, 02:17:38 AM
BTW, you might consider some of the instant exchanges like Changelly, ChangeNow, Flyp.me, and others.  They don't require KYC, but you're limited to trading bitcoin and altcoins with no fiat involved.  
Aren't these exchanges have totally bad reputation on this forum. Also as far as i know changelly and changenow ask kyc i just dont know how much the minimum for them to ask kyc or when they detected suspicious activity which they usually did based on some threads here.

Much of those complaints might only be because of security checks by the exchange and those complaints might be very much similar to many of the accusations in the forum on gambling sites. I also reckon that many people in the forum appear to complain and accuse a service of scamming very quickly if a withdrawal is delayed a few hours or if the exchange uses their right to ask for KYC. They should be more patient.

@Kakmakr. Those mining death spiral articles were fud from mainstream and cryptonews media outlets hehe. The writers never had any intentions to make the correct prediction. They only wanted to create another clickbait article and get maximum hits for the day. They never mentioned the mining's adjustment between difficulty and price. They only assumed that miners will be bankrupt because price was falling.

@Doan9269. I shake my head that you are trying to make it appear that the future of El Salvador's economy would depend on the price of bitcoin. Does that imply that president Bukele is gambling? Also, the mock is not about the bitcoin investment. The mock is he is using taxpayer's money to gamble on bitcoin while a worldwide economic recession is going to occur. Should we continue cheering for him if there began a social unrest calling for Bukele to step down? Will bitcoin fix this?
