I've mining ETH for a long time, but I mined some RVN before

The algo Kawpow was made to not work with Asics or at least to make the life os Asics devs very hard, it's the 3rd algo of RVN evolution.
Explaining in a simple way, it's like a couple of algos and the order of these are based on the hash of the last generated block.
It's better to read the official info here:

@Agbe can you edit the poll to include more squads? (reset this one)

Italy will not play World Cup

My suggestion is something like the most favorite in the odds:

• France
• Brazil
• Argentina
• Spain
• Germany
• Portugal
• Netherlands
• England
• Belgium

This way we can see which team is the favorite among us 

Obrigado pela explicação Ninja, deu pra entender melhor
Só a título de curiosidade, semana passada eu vi no feed do meu celular essa notícia de um 0day exploit: https://www.techtarget.com/searchsecurity/news/252523951/Google-patches-yet-another-Chrome-zero-day-vulnerability

Foi uma atualização de segurança que corrigiu entre outros, um desses exploits.
Sempre importante manter o navegador atualizado.

É uma boa dica, eu não tenho costume de utilizar mais de um perfil para o navegador.
Mas por exemplo, uma extensão maliciosa que eu possa utilizar no navegador, não há nenhuma possibilidade remota de que possa afetar o sistema ou a extensão só fica no escopo do navegador mesmo?
Um exemplo bem "simples", enquanto uso o navegador com essa extensão maliciosa, eu posso não acessar nenhum site de banco, ou e-mail etc, mas pode ser que eu abra alguma informação sigilosa no sistema, isso é 100% garantido de não conseguir acessar essa informação?

@2stout I can't believe the spots aren't full yet, it's a shame for us South Americans 

I don't know if it's good or not but why if you change the rules to 2 spots per user?
 Just a suggestion ok

I'm bumping this thread, maybe another couple of South americans will see and post here, but there's 21 spots left

Hey guys, first of all I already read the posts here about which hardware wallet to buy but I have a few questions about, and I think a new topic is better than ask in old ones

I'm going to travel to US next week, and I don't have a hard wallet until now, but I need one ASAP

I was so sure about a Ledger Nano S, because I can find in Best Buy, but after reading here some threads, I'm disappointed with the reviews, specially this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5370521.0

My conditions are:

• Under 100 USD
• Available to buy in USA
• Preference to buy in a store (not mandatory)

I think Ledger is the only one Best Buy sells, and Trezor website shows that is located in Czech Republic, but I don't have US adress.
I found this reseller in Trezor's website, but I'm scared to buy outside any official website: https://www.thecryptomerchant.com/products/trezor-hardware-wallet

Thank you guys

É um valor bem considerável, 10 das empresas analisadas aparecem na casa do milhão de dólares em receita, $1.11m para a Lacoste, sendo a 10ª colocada.

Confesso não saber exatamente o que cada uma dessas lançou de NFTs, mas acompanhei algumas coisas da Tiffany, Nike, Adidas...
Foi um bom marketing para as empresas falarem que estão no mundo digital, mas ainda não vi os NFTs das marcas tendo algo que eu consumiria

Teve bastante especulação, as pessoas compram achando que vai valorizar, podem comprar para ter como um colecionador e só.
Como ainda não temos um metaverso definido não acho que podemos usar essa desculpa até agora.

Os NFTs que utilizei até o momento foram todos com o uso em jogos

So you did a thread to promote the delay

I don't have a huge number of GPUs, I'm under 1Ghs haha, but I'll move some Hashrate to ETC too, right now I'm full ETH via Ethermine receiving in Polygon Network
I used to mine ETC a long time ago, I think in 2017-2018 I mined some full coins of ETC but sold after that.

It will be an interesting experience if we can delay the bomb some days, everyone will notice this haha, and I'll be happy to have some more days to accumulate more ETH

I know about Jasminer and Innosilicon A10pro, both 5GB asics
Is there more?
If I remember correctly, the Bitmain E9 have 6Gb (and probably hundreds of them mining right now)

I'll try (not a promise haha) to make the math of the exacly moment ETH hit 5GB dag size and compare with the drop in hashrate, we can have some clue

I confess I'm very curious to know about the percentage of Asics in the network

But I did 

I lost a good bet on Corinthians yesterday haha, I was so sure about the victory, I lost 25 BRL

Corinthians is lacking constancy, it's curious, the team won a game 4 x 0 against Athletico and got the classification for semi finals of Copa do Brasil, after that lost a match to a team almost at the demoting zone, and lost the 3 place, now it's 4th.
Even with so many new players, the situation is not good.
Now it's 10 points distant from the first place of Palmeiras.

I almost put 50 BRL, but I glad I didn't  

Legal Joker, achei muito curioso que ainda não tinha um tópico só para a Liga Portugal Bwin na aba gambling.

Eu consegui entrar em uma campanha muito boa da BetPlay, os merits que ganho aqui me ajudam bastante, e me motivam para postar melhor a cada post.
Eu cheguei a ver algumas coisas na seção de Bounties e tinha umas campanhas até que boas que pagam em outras moedas que não seja BTC.
Mas eu escolhi aplicar na campanha que estou agora porque confio no Manager e é um projeto que já havia participado no passado.

Falando sobre os serviços que pagam, também consegui testar um muito legal de Escrow: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5410085.0
Pode valer a pena para muitos daqui também

I posted here about this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5410662.msg60800136#msg60800136

ETHW (obviously) need devs + community to succeed
But I remember that even if a strong person supporting a coin it's not guaranteed success, the example is Roger Ver and Bitcoin Cash, even an early and famous adopter can't make BCH even a top 15 coin, after that fork they tried a lot, but people still use BTC instead of BCH.

Maybe a solution to ETHW is to have strong support from big exchanges, just an example, if Binance works with FTX and have some good devs, or a famous dev...

Let's see
As a miner I always wish for POW coins to mine, but in the case of ETH, it's very dependant of Vitalik.
Most holders and community are happy with new POS and the future of ETH.

ETHW can flourish only if some good devs supports, and the strong  enemy here will be ETC and not ETH itself
Lot of miners are changing to ETC

I made my bet here: https://www.betfair.com/sport/surfing
But it's not available to bet on the winner of the season, only in a few days you'll have the chance to bet again, but on the event alone, not for the entire season.
I considered a good odd of 8.0 due to the performance of Filipe Toledo I saw last year.

Now, the TOP 5 surfers, Men's and Women's, will dispute the last event, all 5 from each category will have the same chances because it's like a final event, who win this event will be the season champion.

The next event is Rip Curl WSL Finals
Lower Trestles, San Clemente, California, United States
SEP 8 - 16 - 2022

If anyone is interested, here is the page for the final event: https://www.worldsurfleague.com/events/2022/ct/10/rip-curl-wsl-finals/main

I forgot to post the Women's final chart:

The difficulty right now is dropping even more:



The last time ETH was at this hashrate was December 17, 2021, with 11,404 - Now is 11,592

Just to compare, this is the difficulty chart of ETC

Eu sou um dos que tomam o maior cuidado com qualquer extensão.
Aqui eu só uso a Metamask e a Ronin, mais nada.

Sempre vejo uns extensões legais que o povo indica, como de gramática para te ajudar a escrever melhor e corrigir alguns erros de inglês, extensão para youtube, para cortar propagandas etc, mas não tenho coragem, eu sempre acho que vai dar algo errado e uma extensão seria um elo fraco.

É bom sempre avisar

Good to know haha, it's 3.75 right now and I made the bet


25 BRL to win 93,75

Why I'm betting against the odds?
I believe Corinthians will do a good match to have some hope in brasileiro after Flamengo took his 2nd place.
Even playing in Fortaleza's home the team is better than Fortaleza, won for 4x0 last match against Athletico GO, and this is an incredible opportunity.
If Flamengo vs Palmeiras ends in a draw Corinthians can reclaim 2nd place and be 2 points closer to Palmeiras.

So, it's an extremely important match.

I didn't think about that, it's interesting, maybe you can create a thread to spread the idea.
(I don't know how much we can delay doing this, we are small miners), maybe a couple of days?





The value in USD of ETH is not guaranteed.
I agree with you about having ETH, and yes, it's the cheap and easy way for us to mine some ETH and hold, but I'm doubt about the near future.
Everyone is expecting a rising in value, but the merge can already be priced, and will depends of how BTC is going to be to follow.

It's not a stupid question
I tried to find some info, but nothing is 100% on ETHW

The new fork, in theory will keep exactly the same things from ETH right now, equals in the past but at the moment of the fork, chains will be different.
Devs have the power to reduce DAG size, like ETC did in the past to avoid 51% attacks.

If you want my opinion, they will not reduce DAG, if they reduce, we can see a huge number of old hardware mining again, and this is not the situation right now, with the end of ETH there's already tons of GPUs seeking for a new coin to mine.

Finally I tested and I'll leave my report
It's my first escrow, I knew what it is, but never used

Starting from website
The landing page is beautiful, clean, not too long scrolling, and the style is similar to other websites in crypto world, and this is good. The UX Design did a good job here, it's easy to find the elements.
The animation is algo good enough to provide a simple explanation about the service.
All links I tested are working, social networks, contact etc, from top to bottom, I think the service is close to launch date and the product is almost finished.
All documented, another positive thing.

I liked the simple explanation here: https://docs.zen.land/getting-started/how-zenland-works
Easy to understand, nothing more to add.

The color palette is also good, clean and professional.

Last, but important, the website works good at different sizes, and also mobile.

Now the app

Obvious, but have to be said, no need to use e-mail, only your adress, so you can stay anonymous.


Info when I hover the mouse is working good and well explained.
The "It is me" part is good to not have to copy and paste one more andress.



Easy to navigate though date and time



Chat is working and it's very usefull.



I found a small problem of no connection, but I updated the page (F5) and worked again, I was connected, only happened once



Small suggestion here:
If it's possible do an animation to get more attention if a person receive a chat message, just an small movement will be enough.



I simulated a problem with the product but before the need to Invite an Agent (I don't know if it's ready), and then released the money.





Before accepts the contract I simulated a change from 1 hour to test, to 2 hours, worked good too.



Small bug here:
I made the contract with BUSD but is showing USDT



Another small suggestion:
I don't know if I'm leaving a review for the another person/adress or for Zenland, maybe it's good to explain


Small suggestion, the last one, the balance only shows $, but I think it's easier if shows the coins like USDT or BUSD
Please disconsider if all coins will be converted to USD

---

I hope this report helps you, all my suggestions are in bold.
I tried a lot of things, I tested not only one but a couple of times, and will continue to try to see if I find some bug (I'll post here if I find one)
I wish all success
