I will make a few bets later on on the NRL R9


My two small bets on the United Rugby Championship came in Green which is
nice to balance all the losses in the NRL.

There is one round remaining in the URC before the Quarter Finals and  there
is currently 3 Irish teams, 3 South African and 2 Scottish teams making up the top
8 which probably wont change after R18.

I'll also make my bets for the final round later.

Exactly, we have seen many times where people come to the forum requesting help to
retrieve coins from wallets where the keys have been lost/forgotten/discarded.

Its good practice for all the reasons in the OP to keep everything secure, in good order
and accessible by the owner at any time.

I have all mine apart from some worthless $hitcoin ones.

Private keys would only take up bytes on a memory stick, there would be no need to
delete them.

How often do you all check your old addresses to see if anyone sent anything to them?

I use a Stainless Steel stamped plate for my seed phrases similar to this one >

Stainless steel Bitcoin Recovery Seed Plate

I made a similar one myself because I have he metal cutting and shaping tools
myself. Stainless Steel doesnt corrode, its water proof and being steel wont catch fire and
if its thick enough wont melt too easy ^{apologies for the non-scientific descriptions!}

It can also be attached anywhere you want with the peace of mind it will remail intact
through all eventualities.

Welcome to the forum, Be prepared for a lot of interest in your coin! There are a lot of
experienced members here who will be able to help and advise should you need it,
minerjones above being one.

I posted this already this morning....


I think it would be beneficial to do this, from my sales experience I will use the phrase,

"Expose the product to the risk of sale"

Yes I watched the 2nd and 3rd sets, Korda was cruzing to a win in the second set,
4-1. Tiafoe repeated his performance against Fokina. He is a jester, the audience love
it and he gets energy from that.


Ah yes I remember Boris playing too. In the Tennis world this is rare IMO for a former
number 1 top player to be in so much trouble. I would hazard a guess that he possibly
didnt have the right people around him at certain stages.

Well I'm 2 from 6, so a hammering is an understatement ^{ok I know I'm betting small but its all relative}


This in a way is good for the competition, there are two rock solid ^{so far} teams, Panthers
and Storm, there are unexpected losses by the Rabbitohs, Eels and Roosters, there were
some unexpected wins by the Wests Tigers for example.

I think I will be reducing the amount of games I will be betting on the next round.

Welcome to the forum. Your product looks really well crafted. Nice combination
if materials.

In a lot of cases particularly from pre 2019, friends have been influential in introducing
others to Bitcoin especially as these introductions have proved very good advice.

I want to add "Family" to the list, My Brother ^{who is a serious Bitcoiner} introduced me
to Bitcoin back in December 2016.

He is the unrecognised equivalent to Michael Saylor, if anyone asks him about Bitcoin
they better be prepared to have their ears burned!

_{he had an account here a few years ago but is not active}

Seeing as Michael Saylor is on the list, I'll back him, I  follow him on Twitter and get
numerous tweets per day from him.

I really admire him, he is a Bitcoiner on another level. He transformed himself from a
critic to pretty much all in.

Really everyone who has been nominated already are truly worthy along with all the Bitcoin
developers.

This threat needs a bump.

I took physical delivery of my coin today, really happy with the result
in the flesh as they say. The detail is fantastic, very fine details.

I took some photos with some "warm" lighting, I might add some more
using some studio lights.

sounds like a big shake up,

Aere there many other people who would be thinking along the same lines as this in terms
of introducing relegation?


It turned out to be a very close game and as we have seen a few times so far in the
early stages of this season a field goad seperates the winner from the looser on 82"



Another very strange scoreline from todays match between the Eels and the Cowboys,
The cowboys gave the home side a right thumping, I just find that scoreline hard to
comprehend, The Eels just scored once....



After todays games, I am 1 from 4 games played

Good point, but I suppose many people would not be aware of that, its good
to have both points ^{no capital gains TAX on crypto, or any investment} highlighted.


They would have to look at ^{and I'm sure they are} increasing the infrastructure.

It looks like very slow progress... Its easy to forget that not every country is as
developed as Europe, The U.S or Australia for example.

There will be a lot of people here who will vouch for Polymerbit, they are the market
leaders in crypto cold storage banknotes.

Its interesting to hear you want to create some notes of your own design, for the
stock Cotton/linen mix it sounds quite specialised which mwans you are going to be
looking at outsourcing the production.

Keep us up to date on your progress.

No problem @darxiaomi

In Ireland where I am from Gaelic Games monopolises the sport scene, Soccer is
second followed very closely by Rugby Union. Gaelic Games has such a dominance
that we could partake more competitively in other disciplines but we dont.

All of our talented soccer players end up in the U.K. Support for U.K soccer teams
massively outweigh support for the national club soccer teams.

We really punch above our weight in terms of Rugby Union. It used to be seen here
as an upper middle class sport but that has changed over the last  20 or so years
since the game turned professional, its a slow process but more and more "average"
people are getting behind the sport. Hopefully it will happen for Argentinian Rugby
too.

Rugby League Australia


I am 1 from 2 2 games played ATM


I didnt bet on the Rabbitohs v Sea Eagles game, I havent been confident too much
on the Rabbitohs. Sea Eagles losing a player early on ith a Red card was always going
to spell disaster but the score line was even enough until around 50 minutes.

Thats really the only way to bet on the Panthers and Storm, wait for them to go behind
and the odds to change otherwise its hardly worth betting.

Panama with this news seems not to have gone as far as El Salvador but they are
certainly moving in a similar direction.

Panama definitely see Bitcoin as being a very large entity in future economy and
are looking to tap into the technology while providing their citizens with an alternative
to the traditional banking system because the article states over 50% of the population
do not have a bank account.

Some extracts



Personally I like this aspect:

^
OMG, I know I asked the question if the Broncos could retain their ladder positioning,
but not really believing they could.....

Well done to them, the result is not good for our bets. My confidence level for the Sharks
is getting less and less, not to score in the second half is very poor.

Are there other teams which could qualify and be competitive in the NRL? I know this
comes back to the conversation regarding relegation.

From a Wiki page I see ^{and didnt realise} there were so many teams from NSW.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugby_league_in_New_South_Wales

Its a clever plan and very much an "in your face" plan but I'm not sure how effective
the ATM alone will be. I'm sure at this stage any of the decision makers will be clued
in to Bitcoin or at least have some knowledge at this stage.

Maybe indeed it is an effort to normalise Bitcoin, to show how accessible it can be,
^{regardless of the inflated fees by using the machine}

The remittance utility which Bitcoin can offer is definitely viable.

Update on the tournament in Munich, Top seed Zverev has been beaten in the Round of 16
by Rune with what seems like an easy enough win 3-6, 2-6.

Zverev has really gone off the boil since probably his outburst and loss of self control
at Mexico earlier this year.

Well done to Rune though with what seems like a fantastic performance.

Wouldnt a big consideration be monitors?

Ideally or at least twin 24" curved LED monitors and obviously a graphics card to drive them.
You will want to be able to see full width charts and data below or as much data as possible
without having to scroll ^{especially from side to side}.



If you are going with 4 monitors like Rikafip suggests, you will need some sort of Monitor Arm,
I can vouch for the Humanscale M-Flex 8.1. All 4 arms are independently adjustable and dynamic
without the need to release levers to adjust them.

Looks like I got my bets in on the Panthers and Storm with Nitrogensports before
they closed off that.

So far I'm a bit dissapointed with the Roosters and Rabbitohs and surprisedwit the
Sea Eagles and Broncos, Lets see if the can at least keep their upper mid ladder position
