Some days ago, they received donations from many supporters including some pledge members of the forum and that gave me a confidence that they may be the new El salvador. It is not as if they are threatened from other countries that have been sanctioned.
I'm only seeing buy, what about selling, will there be an implications if one decide to sell bitcoin to hryvnia, will there be a repercussions? In war people will need money and right now is only those with savings and investment will spend, selling a part of bitcoin to the local currency will be the fastest and easiest way if there is no penalty to that though.

Yes, the subject is correct! Everything you see about centralized exchanges is bad for you. You may think they are cool because of the promotions and bonuses you get in exchange
 for ease KYC, documents you give them are all just easy routes to identify you and by the time you step into their foolish trap(they called it policy), sometimes you don't even have to do anything before they come for you.

I was going through theblockcrypto and I saw one interesting article that featured how Binance agreed to share user data with Russia Government. This is the snip and quoted below:

Quote
Binance reportedly agreed to share user information with a Russian agency that collects and analyzes information about financial transactions as the crypto exchange seeks to enjoy better relations with governments around the world.

According to messages obtained by Reuters, in April last year, Binance’s head of Eastern Europe and Russia Gleb Kostarev met with the agency, known as Rosfinmonitoring or Rosfin, in Moscow at the invitation of a Russian non-profit organization called the Digital Economy Development Fund.
Source: https://www.theblockcrypto.com/linked/143016/binance-agreed-to-share-data-with-russian-government-agency-report

There is more to what was been discussed, they claimed Binance will not share anyone's data unless when law enforcement directs them to do so just like the way banks do comply. Now imagine how many local regulators that will be disturbing Binance for who they suspect or feel to torment.

Everything about KYC is wrong in crypto and so you should avoid it, you don't have private keys meaning what you are viewing is just data on the server, not your real coins, your privacy is at risk, and the government has the ability to change and do anything at any moment.

You have pointed out important things but I would like to emphasize one thing, it is "value". What can you do for the forum and how can you be helpful to others, that is what comes to my mind as a newbie.
There was a particular thread that discusses why some members preferred to merit legendary ranks over lower ranks and out of all the replies, one person said it's a value, legendary ranks are experienced, add value to others and provide help where necessary, so what can you do to be better than them in the forum.
I began to question myself about what can I do to help the forum since I'm a newbie who has little knowledge about bitcoin, I searched through the forum and there were many of them that you don't really need to be too technical about bitcoin to help others like to clean the forum by reporting scam and plagiarism, help others to answer questions in technical discussion, Bitcoin technical supports (you need the knowledge to achieve this), economical aspect of bitcoin but while doing this, stick to the forum rules and regulation.

Respect users and their opinions as long as they are not misleading others. Keep reading, someone's personal text once said reading will not make you spam.

I think I have seen plenty of these topics before, make sure to use the search box on the top right-hand side of the forum for existing topics before you create one, it helps you reduce the stress of writing a book that people may dislike except if you are adding something new that forum members haven't learned before. When in doubt, always check Newbies - Read before posting, that single page we overlook has all key points that will guide any beginner and everyone on the forum.

2625  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How do you do a manual crypto arbitrage ? on: April 21, 2022, 06:46:58 PM
Hi Everyone

Would like to confirm the correct way to do I manual arbitrage.

I'm sure you're aware that USD pairs arbitrage trading isn't as popular as it once was, it was profitable back then when there used to be a price difference between exchanges, but you'll be hard pressed to find a trading pair with a large price gap between exchanges these days. However, some traders who use Dex and Centralised exchanges trade a single coin using different smart contracts. What they do is buy the coin but instead of withdrawing through mainnet, they make use of other chains like BSC to easily sell on pancakeswap. It worked for some coins but only a few, and if you aren't active and fast, other traders will quickly exploit it before you.

NB: Arbitrage is sweet when the withdrawal fee is low, don't try it on the Ethereum chain

Quote

Does volume matter if exchange A volume is 5k and exchange B volume is 100k?

What if the volume on exchange A is 0 and the volume on exchange B is 100k will the arbitrage work?

Can you arbitrage any coin? For example ZIL3S/USD-GateIO 0.379 to ZIL3S on MEXC – 1.81


Volume and liquidity are important, if you bought a coin worth $100k on exchange A at a price of 0.379 and exchange B is 1.81 but the buy order at that price was $2k and the rest is at 0.379 or below, you should know that you are doom already, don't even try to open market order because it is going to sell below the price you bought on exchange A

Quote
Can you please recommend some arbitrage bots/software?

How? Kucoin has a trading bot, you may try it out bot I'm not sure it close to what you are searching for.

However, Barcelona's performance in the last two matches is not satisfactory. Even then, in this match, I want to rely on Barcelona. I know Sociedad is strong at home. But if Barcelona is in good form, they can play great in away matches. I never forgot the match against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. Despite not playing well in two matches, though Barcelona will win today.

Sociedad isn't bad either, in their previous encounters against Barcelona, they have always equalized at least one goal, even if they don't win in the end, demonstrating that the team is in good shape and functioning well. They made it to fourth place on their 38th game last season, and they still have a chance to qualify for the Europa conference league with a sixth-place in the table, but don't be surprised if they return to a 4th place like they did last season, with six games remaining before the league's conclusion.

The result was unexpected, Arsenal, who were in poor performance in several matches, were able to win at Chelsea.
it will be interesting in the race for 4th place with Tottenham but I think to move Chelsea from 3rd in the table it will be very difficult, because of the gap in points left and also the remaining games of the season which are only a few steps away.

Many people were not paying attention to Tottenham, I was overwhelmed with the speed of light with which they overcome other teams, including Arsenal, which was sluggishly misbehaving. Fortunately, they now share the same points with Tottenham and with a few more struggles, they can catch up to Chelsea. I'm not sure why you thought Arsenal couldn't come close to finishing in third place, is it because they have a reputation for failing fans? If we rate Arsenal with their recent performance on a scale of one to ten, I'd give them eight and am very confident that they'll win two of their next three games.

Many people haven't really been paying attention to Villarreal, they are actually thinking Liverpool will have it easy. Villarreal are very stubborn and not so easy  to predict their style of play. Their defense block is mostly intact throughout their game and they are compact when they lose the ball.

They don't appear to have many records, since their last match was just twice and they each had one victory and one loss, but do you believe Villareal is capable of defeating Liverpool? Liverpool has six Champions League titles and Villatreal has none. They say that experience is the best teacher, and I am rooting for Liverpool because they will have the perfect plans to face their opponents. I am not underestimating Villareal, but they have a low chance of winning the cup.

The SHA-256 hash of "Hello, world!"

19270ea4f98808a63fbb99bc26a5ee6f0fe8df9c8182cf1d710b115d57250578

And the block header of bitcoin block 732811

000000000000000000016923fc405bbb8e9552072b0905adeb4115706e569bb2



I'm yet to see anything that can break the SHA-256 hash function, so it is impossible to find an input of any hash result. One of the cool features of SHA-256 is that it gives you the same fixed length result, you can confirm it from the two examples you did above irrespective of what data you input. Both are 64 characters, If not that you specify the inputs and the results, it will be difficult for anyone to differentiate between the two.



I highlighted the first 19 characters of each hash with red color to emphasize that the former has random leading characters, but the latter's leading characters are zeroes. So, my question is, what would be more difficult to find, in terms of computational power, a hash with the same 19 random characters like in the first example, or a hash that would be less than the second hash with 19 zeroes? And why?


The hello world hash doesn't have anything to do with computational power, the SHA-256 gave you the unique fingerprint of the data you hashed while the block header was the result of the block hashed which was less than the target value(often calculated by the miners).

Football is a team game it's very difficult to only rely on one player, and at the moment Real Madrid are like that, they are very difficult if Benzema is absent.
From the quality and consistency of these two teams I think Man City has a chance to beat Real Madrid and advance to the final, although it's not because Real Madrid is a very difficult club to beat in the Champions League.

If a player can do it, I as a coach, I will rely on him. If a player will keep my opponent so scared of the remaining players, it's cool and welcome idea. Remember the days of Messi in Barcelona, opponents get scared of him whenever he has balls on his possession because they know what he us capable of doing at any opportunity he sight.

Manchester City will likely give up on this UCL than you think, the line is already draw, take it or live it Liverpool and Real Madrid are  the only that will qualify this year Champions league, we don't have to fight it, just wait for the end if semi-final and get ready for the next future.
2631  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: April 20, 2022, 10:22:29 PM
Three to one lead and they won barely?

I don't know why Benzema still gets played a full 90 minutes in such matches. He could easily pick up an injury and miss out on the crucial Champion's League matches.
Seeing Vinicius coming off the bench looked weird though  Grin

May be the word ''Barely'' was used because he was disappointed that Benzema loss two penalties in a single match, so many goals were also disputed because offsides.
This is what you get when you become an icon and most hype man among team, there is going to be pressure here and there and lots of high expectations. They shouldn't over used him, they have more task ahead especially the Champions league, it is going to be a sad event if he get injury and couldn't be able to play next matches.
2632  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: April 20, 2022, 10:10:55 PM
Chelsea is the favorite to win today match, even as an arsenal fan, I am quite pessimistic if arsenal is able to win today match because chelsea has a better performance than arsenal this season, but I am quite happy that arsenal which is not the favorite actually surprised me by succeeding beat chelsea with score 2-4 at stamford bridge, today win again makes the competition for the top 4 even tighter, because at this time we have the same points and number of games as tottenham.

You see one thing with Arsenal, they are very good at surprising their fans and give what you the least expected, I never thought they could beat Chelsea but it was amazing with the turned up, I was happy at the same time they still have hope to make it to the next UCL. They should consider this as a luck and opportunity to the rightful thing and make up for the past points they have wasted.
Arsenal- Manchester United the next match and I'm skepticism about this match outcome, they both unserious but who know if Arsenal may use today win as motivation against next match.

I count the number of replies before yours, it was more than 10 meaningful contributions from other members and this is all you could contribute?
OP is asking how to align images Horizontally, not vertical. Beside your image is too large.

@Fivestar4everMVP If you are the original designer of those images, it's best you resize them from your Corel draw, photoshop or whatever software you are using instead of using the forum width and height for adjustment. It will make them easier to align with table nc50lc recommended.

Technically we can see here that Bayern Munich has the full capacity to win the match but atimes things don't work as expected or planned, remember its a game of the fittest yet the smartest team that sees the opportunity in consistency can win the league, i will like Bayern Munich to sit tight the more with relentless efforts because Dortmund is not going to take it likely as well with them, everyone want to prove its a game worth deserving for their win, best luck to both.

It's just a game, but I have confidence in Bayern Munich to deal with Dortmund. I know Dortmund has turned into a lion after their last match against Wolfsburg (Kittyburg Grin), but I believe Bayern Munich will win 3:0. Bayern Munich and Dortmund have a 5W and a 0L record in their last five meetings. It's possible they'll do it again, remember, they're still on top of the table and wouldn't want anything that will shift them from that position anytime soon.

Liverpool had an incredible win yesterday. Manchester United have not been playing very well in the last few weeks but I never thought we would see a match result like yesterday. We all saw how dominant Liverpool were in the game, Manchester United were never on the pitch.
In fact, Liverpool could have scored a lot more goals with this game Smiley

It's more like their physical body was present, but Manchester United's soul was never present from the beginning of the match. Manchester United has only one job to do this month and next month, as all of their fixtures are in the English Premier League, they could put all of their effort into finishing at least fourth place and get ticket to next UCL.
The team lacks direction right now, if they can win two match and qualify for UCL may be before next season, they will have time to restrategize themselves.
Ronaldo was not their last season, and they finished second in the table, so let's put this pointless debate to rest.

I really need to congratulate Benfica. They competed in the giants league and reached the quarter-finals, and even though they knew that they would be eliminated by Liverpool, who can be among the top 3 clubs with the most form, they fought until the last moment and contributed to both their country score and their own image. The offside flag was raised 5 times in the match, then two of them were counted as goals again. It was a narrative match for those who are new to football and do not know offside very well. It was that interesting. One of those matches that betting was both easy and difficult.

I was more surprised when they played their second match quarterfinal with Liverpool with a draw of 3-3, I even became scared for Liverpool that it will be a shame for them that such a small Portuguese team will eliminate them from the Champions League but they really turn up and won them when Benfica visited Anfield. Even with that, they deserve some respect from me, it is the same Champions League that hot teams like PSG, Manchester United, and Chelsea couldn't make they did up to quarter Finals, they should do better next season.

It appears that Ronaldo and his wife have lost a child today. She was carrying twins, the girl is OK but the boy did not make it and has passed away during birth. Both him and his wife have reported it to the media.

It truly is a horrible situation, he won't be in the team for sure against Liverpool and I can only hope that our fans will be respectful. Both sets of fans have a history of idiotism in situations like these.

What a tragedy, bad news at a critical moment, I pray the family has the heart to bear this and a quick recovery to the mother. I really wish and want Ronaldo's presence, he is absent will make Liverpool create fear among some players as one of their important strikers will be absent. I am even having a pity for Manchester United with the way, Harry Maquire has been trending on Ticktock, captain position doesn't fit that guy.
Will Manchester United make it to the next champions league, a difficult question to answer but it is very unlikely with the few weeks remaining to finalize EPL.

Barcelona really had a chance in the match against Cadiz because the game statistics were dominated by Barcelona. but it's a shame that barcelona was humiliated by cadiz in front of their own fans, I think the performance of barcelona dropped big after the defeat to frankfurt, they lost consistency against cadiz. This defeat makes the distance between the points with the Madrid rail even further.

Can we now conclude that Barcelona is now the new Arsenal Pro(saw that meme on the match reports and some comments and it was ridiculous), they have been performing excellently but lately it seems that when a team is doing well and winning matches, the hypes and cheers they get by the fan use to make them go gaga. Some weeks ago, they played straight 9 games without losing and I was happy about that, but the fuel has finished. Atletico Madrid has arrived and a single win match will just take them to second spot in the table.
