Putin is doing more than any European leader has managed to do for the Union, he got two brand new countries into NATO when everyone was not thinking of anything military-related, he has managed to get former CIS countries more interested in joining both the EU and NATO, now if the UK comes back he will become the laughing stock of the century. And not only as punishment in money, but also as other things to change - for example EU may impose UK no longer use their (odd) measurement units when working with international customers (which I expect to be really difficult to implement).
That's not going to happen! Let's be serious now, how are you going to differentiate between those two horse races at Musselburgh The one at 14:37 over 1 mile 7 furlongs and 182 yards and the one at 15:07 over 3 miles 7 furlongs and 108 yards! With the metric system? Get real! One pint of syrup, one gallon of milk, 10 ounces of butter, one pound of meat, half a dozen eggs it's so simple!  |

I see that OP has edited the post after the few responses, I was really curious why everyone was only referring to the IDs and not to the tx mentioned below (which is also invalid, unfortunately). 6234a3ef5ae72c222a3fb6fa4d529e387a26f74b42c7668f7e7e66e1c6 is the transaction hex or Id for one of them. At this point it's obvious the only way to see what's happening here is for OP to tell us where is he sending funds from or who is sending this to him, I hope he didn't get scammed by some website that claims it has sent the money and is giving him bogus ids and hashes. Also, just curious, why did you wait for so long? I mean, it's 4 months... |

They all do post this but it's mostly just on the surface, just as people do manage to cancel orders and get refunds from Bitmain, as you can see they agreed to send back the funds to the original wallet, so they agree on a refund but with their conditions. Well that sucks, even if Bitmain is operating like that and I would never personally buy from such company. Why not mentioning that in TOS, that money can be refunded only to the address from where bitcoin is sent? First because in the ToS sales are final, refunds are from the strat out of the equation normally. As for the other thing, everyone is buying, because there are only a few manufacturers and because the retailers are way more expensive and you risk far more money with a scam, and most importantly, this is not a t-shirt that you order at 8 pm and at 8:05 you see a new pair of jeans and you think the t-shirt is no good anymore and you cancel the order. Most that deal with gear make their plans weeks in advance, they won't change their mind 3 hours after the purchase, this is the thing that triggered a lot of red flags in the OP story, even without the whole ledger thing. And, look at that: What if he used somebody else account and coins to pay? At this point, if as stated above Cannan refunds the payment to the address in question and we see the funds moving (which should be impossible with a broken device) then OP is clearly lying. |

I am not surprised about stompix, as he has been an optimist for long, even since high inflation started a few years ago, before the war. If the EU starts to grow 3% and inflation goes down to 2% I don't know what he will do, build a paper airplane with that toilet paper and fly away, I guess.
You see this is where you got everything wrong First, I will raid a shop for sunflower oil for the engines, then I need a ton of wood for the structure, don't know where I will get this since Europe has cut all its forests for heating and it takes 4000 years according to some to replace it, then, need to pack a ton of molded bread since that's all we can afford, and then, with the plane being a decoy for the Illuminati and I will paddle in my tinfoil boat to Salvador! No seriously, what do you*( general question, not addressed specifically to you) get from always thinking the worse will come? Instead of being optimistic, seeing how life is full of fun moments, making everything of every second should I have spent all these years since 2009 in a cave knowing the debt crisis will destroy the world, then the Eu will split into 1000 pieces, then covid will kills us all, only to grow old and look back and see half of my life was gone thinking how I'm going to suffer? Probably this is the only good thing I've got from my farmer's bloodline since obviously, I didn't get to ride a fire-spitting donkey, the trust in a new year coming after this one, a cycle that never ends no matter what humans do, no matter what happens there will be a new beginning in spring and a new year. Big falls in the stock market occurred in October but in this one, within the downward trend, it was not a disaster, although I don't think the situation is for many joys either.
Weird, I see that every market (that counts) ended up higher than it started in October, so can you show me this "downward" trend you're talking about?    |

I have been pessimistic but I want to hear news like that, and much better news in the future if possible.
There will be, but the good news doesn't make clickbait material, nobody is going to click a piece of news about being sunny while a million will rush to read that an asteroid has a 0.0000<50of 0> 1 % chance of hitting the earth in the next one million years. The world has been through a lot of shit, ww1 and 2, wave after wave of the financial crisis, covid and the Spanish flu , and we're still standing, I can remember how in 2009 everyone was seeing it as the end of the world. I was thinking that European nations would soon go broke because of cost financing and supporting Ukraine.
Bruh, it's a 16 trillion economy + UK at 3T against one that doesn't have the GDP of Italy anymore and has a lower GDP per capita than the poorest of the EU. It's insane to think the EU would go broke in an economic war with Russia. There was even news of protests erupting in some parts of Europe because of high cost of gas and other essential commodities. There were predictions that these protests would soon spread to other parts of Europe thereby giving an opportunity for anarchy. Protests happen in Europe all the time, we have this freedom of not getting shot like animals when we go protesting peacefully, and every party tries to get an advantage when they are not in power and organize this kind of protest to erode the government but it's still nothing, none of them had real magnitude and support for helping Ukraine is the same and growing. Some mistake protests in Europe with the anarchy in other countries, but it's not like that, Belgium went 600 days without a government, and the Netherlands did so for 9 months, it's not like everything will crash just because of a power change. |

Once they give up fighting inflation, the investors may surely be looking for assets to hedge the value of their assets like BTC. However, if the FED still raises interest which is very likely what Pal wants, we're gonna see stocks diving again and perhaps BTC too.
From here we're on different paths. The FED will never give up on inflation and inflation can't continue like this, not with these causes which are mainly energy costs and slow rebuilding of logistic and manufacturing chains. It's not a complete meltdown like Zimbabwe or Venezuela and this will either start to be contained as more and more industries resume complete operations and energy prices are going down alongside demand destruction. If there is no demand there won't be inflation either, that's why contrary to some alarmists we don't have the barrel of oil at $300 and OPEC is cutting production after production capacity to keep it above $80. And then continue where we left off that people will all be going to tighten belts, maybe eat just twice a day and find 3 jobs to make ends meet.
This is just impossible. Inflation happened because there was a lot of money and there was no production, if you think instead of having one job people will have 3 then you will have a ton of manufacturing and services, as these jobs have to produce something, which will mean more offer and with people tightening their pouch you will have exactly the opposite, deflation, what you picture here is exactly what's been happening in Japan for a decade, there won't be any trace of inflation in this scenario. |

While checking your TOS, I found something I haven't seen at any legit online shop. Is that really how you treat your customers, not allowing them refund at all?
https://shop.bitmain.com/product/detail?pid=00020221030110209340BlAGIXVS065E4. After an order has been submitted, a request to cancel the order, refund any part of the ordered amount or change the ordered item(s) to different item(s) or different batch(es) will not be entertained by BITMAIN. They all do post this but it's mostly just on the surface, just as people do manage to cancel orders and get refunds from Bitmain, as you can see they agreed to send back the funds to the original wallet, so they agree on a refund but with their conditions. It's just stupid at this point of course they could make an exception especially since OP is having a meltdown and is probably one inch away from a heart attack but at the same time, you just can't just send funds to a different wallet that easily, especially since the buyer changed his mind a few hours after the order. What if he used somebody else account and coins to pay? |

Google play store is literally the worst way to download sensitive applications, as they can very easily be phished, and even after reporting, it takes ages for them to be removed, only for new ones to pop up almost immediately.
*to download everything. I was getting bored a few nights ago and had time to kill before going to pick the wife and kid and decided to what the hell, play some game, went for a puzzle type with a ton of downloads and reviews, and when to start, it needs GPS, camera, call, contacts and a ton of other permission. Really? And this is one of those that announce you they are going to screw with you, what happens with others I don't want to even think, that's why if you have the $, go for Apple and only paid apps, android and free apps launched a month ago are a recipe for disaster. I would be reporting and urge people to verify the authenticity of any app they download, especially to a device where they hold funds (fiat or Bitcoin).
I would advise against holding any sum in BTC you can't afford to lose on your phone, it's more like a lottery, in 99% of the cases you will not get infected or lose your money but when you do, you will lose everything. This one was "developed" by a company that charges $260 for a racing 10 pixel game: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=arsalgames.mega.rikshaw.stunts&hl=en_IN&gl=USWtf!!!! |

what does this mean?
Why don't you ask him what he meant by that? I suppose there is also a language barrier here so what your friend might imply by the gold or premium thing would mean something totally different. But, what the hell, there are two possibilities: - he has some web wallet that offers interest for stacking coins and the rewards are based on the amount, or for the amount traded, or cash spent for example even Wirex had premium and elite for their bitcoin cards * Might be wrong about this but RH had a gold account and it did allow crypto trading. - he got tricked into some Ponzi-like scheme and deposited BTC to a site with gold, and platinum plans that promise 100% or 1000% APY returns. I do hope it's the first. |

I know a lot better than 2018 so may be i can make something for myself and others. It's been a long time so it's not unusual that i can write in more matured way than before as my knowledge expands a lot Yeah that is normal, to improve both posting style and language. Suspicious thing would be if your English suddenly regressed and I was mainly aiming at that. And learn a new language since immediately after the first post gap he started posting for the first time on the Pilipinas board in 20017 and somehow forgot he's from a different continent  No way it's the same person that opened the account here and for two years talked only about trading and arbitrage then suddenly regressed to 4 lines of empty talk. That aside, he hasn't scammed anyone yet, he has no trust ratings, no business venture, and probably nobody gives a f* about this anymore. |

I read your conversation with support, reposting the image to make it easily readable for everyone:       Sorry to say it, but with the kind of meltdown you had I would have put you on ignore too and stopped chat communication, and switched to email. You sent a payment on the 30 of October, Sunday night, on the same night you contacted them and asked for a refund to a completely different address and because they didn't do that on the spot without any verification you started calling them every way possible. Not taking Cannan's side as I've never dealt with them but how you approached this every single merchant out there would have done the same, muting you and requiring email communication. They are sending the money back to the address you have sent them the payment, they're not taking your money so it's not really a scam, at most it's very poor customers support, but you're at fault here too, unfortunately. |

I see a completely different trend now, every crypto outlet has shifted 180° from the previous months and is claiming a rate increase equal to the predictions or of course, lower will trigger a price jump for Bitcoin. It's a bit weird, every hike in the rate has triggered a drop in the price, and although it has recovered after each it was never a course for a bull run, furthermore, I think the enthusiasm from a slowdown of interventions is already priced in, the last jump happened exactly because of this. I would be completely cautious in that hourly interval, If I would manage to get a trend right from the start I would take the profit and watch the next hour from the side, if it turns ugly and we do some -2k swings each way it will screw a lot of guys doing leverage. But, just to make it popcorn material, I would love to see the FED postponing the decision in the last minute, the chaos on the markets where everyone was putting their bets and now they are left clueless, reminds me of the RTW intro quotes: It is pleasant, when the sea is high and the winds are dashing the waves about, to watch from the shores the struggles of another Whichever it is as long as they raise, there will be a dump.
I'm 99% inclined to think the same, but history has a habit of not repeating itself just when you're overconfident, and Bitcoin price also has this habit of doing some inexplicable movements, so neither a drop back below 20k nor a jump to 25k would surprise me genuinely. |

As always, your beloved stompix bringing you the good news that nobody wants to hear. Keeping it up after my last one: Eu gas and electricity prices drop 80% to 2021 level, another apocalypse avertedhere is again, good news! Europe’s top economy expanded by 0.3% in the third quarterArchived since paywall! Remember how Germany was supposed to plunge into recession, how according to some 60% (just lol) of the companies went bankrupt, how everything is shut down, how there is no more light, no more cars, how bla bla bla. Well, again, completely defying propaganda Germany has managed to grow again, despite the highest energy prices ever encountered, and those are going down all the way in Q3, TTF day ahead spot prices crashing almost 10 times from the peak. What's more interesting is that the whole EU economy still went up, and only one country posted you decline with 3 countries posting a previous trimester decline. Of course, this doesn't mean everything is going perfectly, inflation was still up, but the ECB is finally starting to do its thing, and as I said a few months ago, doing it the right way, acting when it matters and with enough room left for more serious involvement, especially since one of the countries that posted surprising growth was Italy Italy's economy grows stronger than expected 0.5% in Q3, easing pressure on new govtand these numbers will help counter the fear of the consequences of further rate hikes. Going back to Germany, there is the need to address one thing as I saw some quoting that large companies are fleeing to China and shutting down in Germany. Of course, the usual crap, and the truth is completely different. BASF planned to open a factory in China in 2019: https://www.basf.com/cn/en/who-we-are/organization/key-production-sites/guangdong.htmlBASF is a 80 billion a year in revenue company, with factories in 11 countries, investing 10 billion is nowhere near what a move would look like. And furthermore, to counter all the doom and gloom and bankruptcy theories: https://www.basf.com/global/en/media/news-releases/2022/10/p-22-381.htmlBASF achieved solid EBIT before special items despite continued high raw materials and energy prices Sales of €21.9 billion up 12 percent over prior-year quarter
Unchanged outlook for 2022: Expected sales of between €86 billion and €89 billion, EBIT before special items of between €6.8 billion and €7.2 billion As I said above, this doesn't mean that the EU will avoid a technical recession completely, since Q4 is always a slowdown, taking into account inflation and demand destruction we might still see a recession, I'm actually convinced there will be one in Q1 2023, but every single analyst out there no matter how negativist he is about this has slashed the decline numbers, from the worse -1.2 were slowly hovering to an average between -0.6% and -0.2% and not a single source is mentioning a decline in the whole 2023, as overall the economy will reverse the start of the year trend and still grow. Not as fast as predicted at the start of this year but not doomsday either. So everyone should be happy, another apocalypse is being avoided, the economy works, employment is at record levels, people still have money, and people still afford to buy bitcoins, what do you get if you preach all day long about collapses and recession and bankruptcy? |

And you are ignoring the fact that the reserves need to be refilled at some point, especially when there are heightened chances of a global armed conflict between the super-powers. Americans have already emptied more than half of their reserves. How much more they can sell? They need to make sure that the reserves doesn't dip below a critical threshold.
Yeah, as usual, after the 300$ per barrel prediction, the math teacher strikes again: https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/hist/LeafHandler.ashx?n=PET&s=MCSSTUS1&f=MUS strategic reserves were at 638,085 in January 2021 they went as low 405 million barrels on the last sale on October 14, 2022, simple 2nd-grade math will tell you that the decline is just one-third and nowhere near the more half you're dreaming in your hate-filled nightmares. So basically in 8 months of continuous release, the US has emptied just 1/3 of their strategic reserve, not to mention mandatory commercial reserves and the company's stocks, so it could keep on going like that for another year with no problems, unlike someone else who has trouble balancing their budget as Ural oil right now sells for less than before the war.

Topic in question: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5410930.0Archived here: https://archive.ph/24sEiOP profile: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1781255As everyone can see in the topic, one red-tagged member (tagged for a fake wallet website) brings us the joy of the good news on how this shady exchange launched in Europe and it's followed by a wave of newbies that shill for it, claiming everything worked fine for years, that this is the best exchange and so on. Now, the obvious problems: - the exchange has no physical address, no virtual address and no contact whatsoever - all the links are broken, there is no ToS, there is no T&C, there is nothing about the company or about licenses - the links on the websites are actually from a different exchange:  I achieved the live version here: https://archive.ph/eaYKH all you need is to inspect the code. Furthermore, if someone claims that it's just a template, which would sound stupid for an international exchange, one search of their news would lead to this: Turkish Now Available on Coinzh
We are pleased to announce that the Turkish language is now available on the Coinzh trading platform. Supporting multiple languages has always been our priority, and adding the native language support to our customers from Turkey as well as other countries further proves our continued commitment to providing the best trading experience in the field. https://archive.ph/MVNFIThe exact same wall of text: https://www.reddit.com/r/kudX/comments/x43cfa/turkish_now_available/https://archive.ph/y4tslOf course, kudx was also a scam: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/kudx.comand was promoted here by the same guy who shills for coinzh, seen here! If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck... |

Marcus Rashford has already given Westham United a goal in the 38th minute for Manchester United. There is still half time to play. In the remaining half if Manchester United goalkeeper is able to stop the balls coming towards them and if Manchester United's other players are able to pass the ball well and give Westham United another goal then they will surely win today. what was he trying to say in that bolded part ? It's a translation thing, I know that from our Moldavian co-workers, in some languages to score a goal is also "to do" a goal so here to give a goal to the other team is to score a point, but of course, in translation it loses that meaning and it just becomes a really confusing text. And this is again one thing that shows how much of a football fan some people are when they don't even realize what they are saying and how this sounds. It's the same as saying if Arsenal scores the fifth goal against Nottingham Forest, Arsenal will win the game; predicting known outcome only makes him look stupid,Lol. Reminds of a football player interviewed in our league, freshly after the game in which they lost 0-2, he said that if the other team didn't score those two goals and we have scored at least once we would have won. No shit Sherlock! |

In as much as I also want to be ranked, and share my ranked journey just as every other person, Knowledge is important and I will definitely go for it, If I wanted a merit or rank, I will simply purchase rank, But what gain does it yield buying a copper member rank, Without proper knowledge of what BTC is.
*
I've seen a lot of low quality response like this from ranked members getting so much merit, but a newbie with far more, recieves nothing, My target is to learn as much as I can, so I can also impact someone else, so with all due respect, your Observations and conclusion is totally wrong 100% Respect to you.
If you seek knowledge then the first obstacle you need to overcome is caring more about how much merit others earn and how little you do. One of the reasons you see people disagreeing with you it's that everyone is tired of this, the same discussions come up month after month, with the same flavor on it, I'm a newbie, I seek knowledge but why is somebody else getting merit and I don't? This is getting frustrating old, some of the legendaries you mentioned are not giving a damn about merit anymore, this is not a race for merit, this is not about having x posts merited, this is a forum about discussion, it's like some perks you're earning and that it, what you're doing here is just letting envy taking over you and I already know what's going to happen, from the hunt for knowledge it's going to turn into merit fishing. Also few days ago, I came across a post, With random low content, yet one of the higher rank member sent out 30 plus merit to such a low content post. And I'm wondering, what's going on, this prompt this to my head. If you think is low content report the post, do your part in cleaning the forum and be done with it. |

With the network hash rate so extraordinarily high, why is the transaction capacity so low? Wouldn't it be great if we could focus all that hash power on faster transaction processing instead of a high block hash difficulty? Well, we can!
Hashrate has nothing to do with the capacity of the network. Just for fun, the Hahsrate now is 260Exahash, in early 2013 it was in 100 Th/s range, it doesn't mean that the capacity or speed of transactions has grown 2 million times, the only thing you can take out of that is that you need 2 million times more computing power to launch a 51% attack on the network. The block time is the same, so although there is an increase in capacity due to segwit it's nothing that radical and it has nothing to do with the difficulty and the hashrate. In short, Bitcoin can be faster than VISA if it needs to be.
No, it can't. As mentioned above by BlackHatCoiner there are two different things capacity and speed. Of course, constantly increased capacity will lead to every transaction in the mempool getting confirmed in the next block but it will still not make them instant, if the next block is mined in 20 minutes from when you broadcasted it will still take 20 minutes for a confirmation. So no, on-chain transactions will never match Visa speeds, there are two different things and two different systems that serve different purposes, if you want competition with Visa speeds you have to look at LN. |

I just checked your post history in the gambling section and it's a bunch of garbage, it's either a 2 liner nonsense or you're on a bookmaker thread looking for free spins, I've known most Stake signature participants to be huge spammers because most of the accounts in that campaign are alt anyways. If I were your manager, you wouldn't get paid for those posts. I haven't seen your posts in the gambling section because we post in a completely different thread. This isn't Facebook or Twitter, so two-line jokes aren't appropriate. You are capable of doing better.
What do you mean, isn't this a totally legit, insightful, much prediction, such knowledge post? I just picked the last one, not going to waste one more second on his history Marcus Rashford has already given Westham United a goal in the 38th minute for Manchester United. There is still half time to play. In the remaining half if Manchester United goalkeeper is able to stop the balls coming towards them and if Manchester United's other players are able to pass the ball well and give Westham United another goal then they will surely win today. Just look, Manchester is leading, and if Westham doesn't score but Manchester scores again, ...ta-dada... Manchester will win! It's a bulletproof prediction, if the score ends 2-0, the team with two goals scored will win, I bet none of the veteran gambles could come up with this. Spam is posts that are useless for discussion and are usually off-topic regardless of what purpose they are made for.
Spam means garbage like this: So far Napoli are unbeaten, convincing as one of the title challengers, but the fact is they have not been able to win the Scudetto in many different seasons despite their good performances. It's only about 12 match, there are 26 more match that will await them and I think they will also have other focuses like the Champions League or the Italian Cup Arsenal are 0-1 behind PSV, but Arsenal are the favorites in this match.
I don't mind saying Arsenal were better in the game even though at the moment they are struggling to score goals. It's not right to say they will lose before the game ends, so I think there will be a goal back from Arsenal soon. This is not even the fanboy stuff I was mentioning early in this thread, this is just you mentioning the obvious, one looks at the score, sees that this team leads and that's one "gambling" post, I actually went over your post and looked after keyword, guess what, you only twice mentioned actually odds for a game result but just mentioned them. Now, the pretty weird stuff, I clearly remembered I replied to the below two quotes but god knows what happened, I might have forgotten to hit post (!?) as I don't have any deleted replies either. So in short and sorry for the late replies: Discussing player transfers and availability played a bit role in predicting the outcome of a game, these discussion are somewhat necessary at some point. Before I put up a bet, I first try to check the latest news and discussions about those clubs H2H, injuries, and players, so it's easier for use if we have some discussion as regard those games in the thread so. Before placing a bet, one does not need to look any further.
Totally agree on this, things like this are important, but if you're posting stuff like "Mbappe is not playing so things might be difficult for PSG" without bothering to make any kind of prediction, this is not gambling talk, this is fanboy gossip and copy pasting newsline headers. I don't think that if a top player is either suspended or injured someone needs to mention this three times in a row in a topic when obviously all the gamblers are aware of it and some others have done it five times already. You're correct there's almost no relation between discussing about player transfer and the casino, I think many users also talking about player transfer on each thread where the league belong, isn't?
They do so just to make it look like they've done some research and to increase the number of lines in their post. Since it's hard to get away with just mentioning the victories of a team before the match they add a bit of flavoring to look like they are really interested and up to date with what's happening there, stupid things like x have scored x times so maybe he will score again, phrases empty of any substance that are simply just useless for a prediction. |

I've seen revolut advertising itself as a stock, crypto and fiat investment manager in one, perhaps that's someone who's trying to do this already and has regulation too (they offer products within the EU, not sure if they're worldwide yet though).
The last time I've used Revolut it was offering ADRs, which were designed as such to facilitate trade, but with Revolut things that were supposed to be simple become really complicated, the company itself that offers this is a revolut subsidiary of the main, there is a bunch of mumbo jumbo in their T&C and ToS that would make anyone that reads it a bit suspicious of everything but at least their fees were not that scary, oh, and they don't offer leverage, they try to keep it more as a medium-long investment option rather than actual trading like others do. As for countries they are only for the EEA, USA and Japan, with UK of course included (damn brexit) so not really an option for most people. |
