For security reasons on the other hand, I don't like installing mobile apps. Even though I only store a small amount of Bitcoin in my mobile wallet, I keep my phone as clean as possible.
I agree with you. Phones should be kept as clean as possible. It is especially important for crypto investors. Risks and hacks are existing and can happen anytime (with banks, crypto, etc.) but with crypto investors their clean condition of their phones should be maintained. There is no one is responsible to recover our crypto back if our devices got hacked or compromised. Before online banking, you needed to download a program on your PC to dial in to the bank. I never used those, and they were all replaced by online banking through the bank's website. But for mobile devices, many companies are moving back to having customers download and install software again. Needless to say, I don't use those either.
The COVID-19 pandemic forced some curious and likely stupid people installed some newborn softwares. They put themselves at risks by installing such apps. |

This is a very good and helpful infographic. Weeks ago I read the article that is helpful too. https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-halving-explainerThe Bitcoin miners have mined nearly 90% of bitcoin total supply so that makes me crazy when I think of the unreached bitcoin. Not much as shown on the chart in OP's infographic. It is reasonable to see bitcoin skyrockets recent days when there are a half of month till its halving day. |

Previously, wolfbet signature campaign was ran for 4 weeks. It's seems they will launch the same just like before (but who knows, maybe if the result is good enough for them, they could extend the campaign).
Anyway, i'm trying to join too on their campaign just like previously
Maybe because with the pandemic, we have more new gamblers over good casinos and old gamblers have been more actively to bet. The signature campaign of Wolf.bet this time might have better impacts on the site than its previous two rounds. It is the third time Wolf.bet run their signature campaign, as I know of. |

I personally think hCaptcha is even worse to solve. At least reCAPTCHA gives you easily identifiable images, while hCaptcha has given me very vague photos and has taken me quite a bit longer to solve. The one thing I like about hCaptcha is that it supports Privacy Pass by default, so solving one captcha allows you to skip the next 5. I don't know that if we don't visit that page https://bitcointalk.org/captcha_code.php, my captcha bypass code is still automatically be there or it is only activated and displayed after I visiting that page. If it is always there no matter we visit that page or not, I think using that code to bypass captcha is good. Only have to secure it well and if something wrong with computer, such as virus detected we should reset the code. |

And what is huobi? A rich company?
You can easily to do your research with https://coinmarketcap.com/. I give you this tip because you can use it for future cases. When you hear someone says about a project or an exchange you don't know, go to that site and search. I don't imply that if you see companies (projects / exchanges) are listed on that site, they are legit by default. There are many scam projects are listed there in 2017 and early of 2018 before the site tightened their listing rules. Now, their names are still there but they are scam projects. Search result with Huobi: https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/huobi-global/ |

I would say that the suggestion of OP looks good because it might cause the less volatile price of bitcoin by lowering allowable leverages on crypto exchanges. Something like a universal allowable leverages. Unfortunately, it is in theory. In reality, traders are always greed and be affected by emotions. Do you really think that with lower leverages, lost-traders will not see liquidations on their accounts or contracts. I do strongly believe such lost-traders will get liquidated repeatedly. The problem starts from that. Newbies hear of many terrible anecdotes on leverage tradings and liquidations. They don't dig deeply to consider which leverages greed traders usually use and how easy each leverage will cause liquidation. Or even if they hear some story like "I trade with 2x leverage on crypto exchange, with bitcoin as collateral, and get liquidated many times. Now, I am broke". They will fear and never join crypto. Even 2x leverage can be so risky like that. No, I will never join that risky place.  |

^ Lol yeah, whenever a big name does something like this, it must have some sort of surge at the website as well, I didn't know roobet became so big that even the big name youtubers with 100k+ views was playing here, that is a big promotion if I have seen any.
I don't know if it was paid or not, sometimes casinos pays people money to their bankrolls to gamble there, whatever they end up winning will be kept and whatever they end up losing was basically free gambling for them anyway and the video itself would make them money anyway (considering dude probably made hundreds of dollars from just this video that ain't bad).
Or maybe it was organic and he really wanted to play himself without any promotion, I don't know how he ended up playing but I know it must have helped roobet a lot.
Reviews with articles or with videos, the important point of message is experience of gamblers with game and platforms. They can lose or they can win, but their experience and feeling when they play are important. If others look at their reviews and see good experience (don't mention about results of bets), they will have good raw feelings about the platforms and games which in turn will attract them and increase their intention to join a new casino platform. It will be more attractive if they see big wins in reviews but it is a sort of plus point and not much important. Roobet has been an old casino platform despite of its ANN was created recent months on the forum and it has improved its reputation on the gambling industry. I said this as one of past participants of Roobet campaign. |

At the moment there is even overcapacity in regards to testing as the german health minister announced yesterday. We could do more, but less demand than supply actually, so extensive testing of Bundesliga players should be doable. I heard it costs 2.5mln Euro for Bundesliga, so no biggie too. I still think, it's good to give it a try with resuming Bundesliga, but if that experiment fails, there will be huge shitstorm of course. But I think everything will be fine health-wise and lots of people will be happy with some football going on again (including me).
Such testing cost is feasible for teams because the financial benefits they can get back when Bundesliga resumes and finishes will be bigger. Costs have to be spent first and benefits will be get back months later. Players are strong guys and most of them will be fine even they get infected with the virus. There will be some cases will have severe conditions but not too many. With whole population, the CFR (case fatality ratio) for the young guys fluctuates about 0.2%. I think if we ask players that they want to resume the league and play or not, they will say yes. I didn't come across such statistics with the antibodies. Hospitals and blood donour facilities have started calling recovered people to check for antibodies, but the tests seem to give false-positives more often than not and are not yet reliable. So people might feel kind of safe, when actually they are not. And capacity-wise the system is not yet ready for some antibody-testing-tourism, to have bigger sample sizes and draw more viable conclusions.
Thanks. False positive with antibody test is always a problem. Even with Realtime PCR test, there are false positive results too because of there are some steps to prepare and treat samples before going to test them. |

Another thing you need to be conscious of is whether your mixed coins have the telltale signs of being mixed. Though a third party service won't know the origin of your coins, if they can clearly tell they have come from a mixed transaction then they might get arsey. Binance Singapore have been giving Wasabi coinjoined coins the boot because of that.
Some people think that simply using mixer service will help them totally hide with perfect privacy and ignore steps that they should do. From the Guide and FAQ of Wasabi, they emphasize importance of steps before and after mixing. They tend to forget the steps after mixing and recombine mixed coins. https://www.reddit.com/r/WasabiWallet/comments/avxbjy/combining_mixed_coins_privacy_megathread/ |

I think it's fine to start Bundesliga again. When you are doing 100k+ tests per day and constantly increase that number, 20k+ additional tests over a span of several weeks really shouldn't be an issue. It's all about money in the end and weighing the options/risks. TV broadcaster has already made the fourth and last payment to DFL (and thus to the teams), so they are surely putting some pressure on. And there are lots of other contracts, that would lead to mayhem if conditions aren't met in case the season is cancelled.
Lots of teams are on life support financially imo, so any money they can make, is appreciated.
It will be a win win situation for teams and the community. In the pandemic, it is good for clubs if they can finish the season that will help them to have good chance to have a normal season next year. In turn, the finished season and next normal one can help them to secure their income. Rather than running promotions, it is good if teams spend part of their promotion funds to help communities and get some benefits back.\ Germany has done massive tests and it will be good if the government expand their total daily number of tests. I have a curious question that the nation has such statistics on percent of blood donors have virus-antibodies? I see that one in Netherlands: https://nltimes.nl/2020/04/16/3-dutch-blood-donors-covid-19-antibodies, around 3% of blood donors have antibodies, and the percent is higher at younger donors. |

English clubs always had too much anyway, compared to other leagues they had way too many matches to play. Other leagues have one league and one national cup, that is usually about it and nothing else.
The best thing for English clubs and other clubs in Europe are finishing their rest matches in their leagues if possible to do this. For Cups, they are unnecessary for now, and can be canceled. Finishing leagues will help leagues to find winners with some matches left to play and help leagues and UEFA find out clubs for the European leagues next season. Asking to finish all national leagues and cups in the pandemic time is unrealistic when even finishing leagues are still challenging. |

What is the essence of bitcoin mixers? Does it really make sense to use them only to those who conduct illegal activities?
They provides better privacy. Having better privacy for good reasons or bad reasons (illegal as you discussed) totally depends on each people. About mixers, not all mix services are good enough to provide you privacy, some of them do neither provide better privacy nor protect your money. They instead are scam services and can steal your money. You can also use CoinJoin transaction to have better privacy. - CoinJoin: Bitcoin privacy for the real world- [Guide] Decent mixing methods |

You must decide whether you want to raise money or gain knowledge. Both are possible, but the motivation is what will keep you going.
The answer to all of your questions is to learn more.
It's been ridiculous for us to see people continuously asking the very same question again and again that how they can earn money here. This turns the forum's image too bad amongst all the newbies coming here because they'll only think of the "easy money" they are looking for, but I've not seen many newbies asking a single meaningful question in theory to get to understand about the Bitcoin and crypto ecosystem.
Knowledge should be the first to gain here. Knowledge on forum rules, knowledge on bitcoin and crypto. Money should never be the first thing to gain here. Moreover, such people who ask those questions don't know how to search for past topics on the same question or they know but ignore past topics. SearchWriting a welcome message |

You have three ways to show source of images: - Source: leave a link - Credits: username, and link - Including link of source in with your img block. [url=sourcelinkfromwhichyousnapshottedthatimage][img width=200]LinktoImage[/img][/url]
Sometimes, you don't have to snapshot image and upload it to imgur.com (or other sites), you can directly take image link from the site you see that image. However it is just sometimes. Guideline on posting images (with size adjustments), hyperlinks[]/url] |

Because it isn't; simply because Vitalik simply has so much influence over Ethereum. It's safe to assume that this is one of the main reasons Satoshi left the Bitcoin community and went into the shadows— because he/she/they knew that their influence would be too big.
You nailed it. The same with Steve Jobs & Apple, Bill Gates & Microsoft, Warren Buffett & Berkshire Hathaway, they have so much influence on those companies. Each statement they say have huge impact on investors' emotion and decisions. In crypto, statements from developers are more influent from technical side. For Ethereum and Vitalik, I don't think Vitalik will leave Ethereum and stay in the shadow like what satoshi did for bitcoin, years ago. And if he want to do so, he will be not able to do this because everyone knows him. He is not anonymous like satoshi. |

Being a bounty hunter is not an easy work
I don't think it is difficult. Bounty hunting is one of the easiest things on the forum. Unfortunately, sometimes bounty hunters throw their time and efforts away because of scam projects that they work or promote for. The most important thing is finding and sticking with non-scam projects. It takes time and enough experience to do so managing your work when doing multi-task or multi-project, time management, communicating with bounty manager.
The second most important thing, I think (I am not a bounty hunter) is having your own spreadsheet, to list all of your to-do lists, deadlines, and current progresses. Generally, I don't think bounties are worthy to work (because of scam projects, scam bounties). |

Thank you for your thread .
But, what if I discovered that an account is cloned after doing my due diligence about the said account. What should do in this case?
It is simple. Nowadays, most of popular platforms have features for reports. You can follow each platform guideline to report scammers, clone accounts to customer support team. Some days later, your reports will be handled and if your targets are scammers, most of your reports will be handled so good. Just don't abuse report by making fake reports to destroy lives of good people. Youtube, Telegram, Discord, Facebook, Twitter, and the forum, you can report scammers but it requires you decent time and patience. |

Actually what I wanted to tell is, if you are not making enough merits even after you are giving your maximum effort doesn't mean that you are not deserved to be on bitcointalk at someday you will get caught by the merits sources until that keep posting and learn new things which you are being yourself.
Merit sources can miss good posts but if one user is a good poster and keep up his good works and efforts from day to day, someday his posts will be caught by merit sources and others. Hence, some of his good posts will receive merits. There is a topic to help good posters earning merits: [self-moderated] Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source |

It will be happened step-by-step. Governments lift lockdowns or reduce lockdown levels; the major leagues come back to play. 2 or 4 weeks later, Champions League might come back. I think the spreading news on the Champions League return in August seems to be right because some major leagues plan to return in late of May, but in reality they might be delayed till June. |
