2983  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A new bitcoin documentary on: March 31, 2022, 04:48:26 AM
For those who can’t wait for the Netflix version on QuadrigaCX, this documentary came out at the end of last year, which I managed to watch recently:
Dead Man's Switch: A Crypto Mystery
 
Note that the above title entails a high degree of clickbait: Although the dead man’s switch theory is mentioned at some point, it seems to bear little weight, and there is no narrative in this version of the documentary to sustain it.

The story is interesting, depicting Gerry Cotten’s mysterious death during his honeymoon in India. Being an apparent control freak, he carried the weight of managing the Exchange in a very unipersonal manner, and this, without providing further spoilers, is one of the key parts of the mystery. Additionally, his prior associations to obscure profiles cast a further shadow of doubt in all this matter.

I originally thought they were the very same documentary on the subject.
Until I viewed the splash screen showing a clip of the one OSS mentions when I went to netflix (haven't logged into the app for awhile now) and have to say, they do look to be produced differently.
The one  you mention above seems to have been produced and funded by CBC which is the Canadian broadcasting corporation (governmently funded?) so not as styled as the one this topic is about.
The one on netflix seems to be targeted towards the audience of Mr.Robot with the flashy lighting and those who do not wish to be identified are wearing oversized teddy bear and fox masks.

Haven't watched either as I haven't had much time too but will in the near future.
Thanks OP for writing up something about it as this reminded me to put it on my watchlist.

Some major upsets today and retirements of two match which I started watching because I had placed bets on them but didn't get past game 5 of the first set.
Sinner & Badosa both retired after being down 4-1 in their matches first sets. Sinner was due to blisters on his feet so it was too uncomfortable for him to continue to go on and for Badosa, nobody really knows.
Some say it was due to illness others have said it was from soreness to he leg suffered in a previous match.
https://tennisuptodate.com/wta/paula-badosa-retires-against-pegula-in-miami-after-20-minutes-of-play

The biggest upset in the men's play today has got to be Casper Ruud taking down Zverev in three sets.
https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/badosa-sinner-retire-early-miami-open-action-cut-short-2022-03-30

Francisco Cerundolo who played against Jannik Sinner was playing in his debut to a Master 1000 series match so this was a huge accomplishment to him.

It is more of an Applepay thing and not necessarily about metamask, that is why this thread was moved to Altcoins discussion board I would imagine.
But anyways, there is some news progressing about it from the most recent tweets below that is very bullish signals for bitcoin and cryptocurrenies as a whole.

He owns $7bln in BTC so could this make him the world's first trillionaire if this onboarding does indeed take off for millions who use applepay already?

He could possibly be ahead of Bezos and Musk to the title of the most richest person alive.

This is some pretty big news for apple customers who use's their payment platform applepay.
https://gadgets360.com/cryptocurrency/news/metamask-apple-pay-ios-wallet-support-buy-crypto-debit-credit-cards-2852228


https://twitter.com/MetaMask/status/1508580273868353537

Only issue I see is they instated a daily limit of $400usd.
Which doesn't seem too much but they might increase this as usage grows since it is a sort of a way for onboarding new customers for purchasing crypto.

Still huge interest to watch even if your favorite team(s) are out of the tournament.
But North Carolina going against Duke has got to be the highlight of the Final Four this weekend for certain!
This will be the first time ever for these two elite teams to face each other in the tournament's history.
When I heard this I couldn't think that was possible since they are usually in it deep year after year after year.
Everyone who watches NCAA basketball know of UNC and The Blue Devils.
It is going to a smasher of a match up and am quite excited to be watching this battle come Saturday night when the lights come on at the dance floor!

That is a good point @buwaytress just made.
Some promotions are not available for some to view. This probably are to do with the region you are in.
I can not view the cricket specials either. But that is fine with me as I do not watch it so wouldn't know where to begin.
As many others who are in America probably are in the same view as myself when it comes to international sports.
I thought Aussie Rules football was played the exactly same way as Rugby.
Go figure!

The story for the 15th seeded team has ended in lackluster fashion losing to the Tar heels 69-49.
It was a good run but the dream about going to the big ball just ended before the final four.

More devastated that I lost a 5 game parlay with the Hurricanes not winning their match today. It looked like they were going to win after the 1st half but it always depends on how a team going into the 2nd frame handles the pressure. Could of won $2000 from a $50 bet.
Next will be watching and enjoying the winners today going into The Final Four near the end of the week.

Noticed when trying to do a ripple to ethereum exchange it did not work since the sending address does not have a tag number associated which is needed from the site I am sending the ripple from.

So could not complete the transaction. Undecided

Hello, regular customer!

The tag is already included in the x-address, and there is no need to enter it Wink
 If your wallet does not support x-type of addresses, on xrpscan.com you can enter the x-address there, and see the r-address and tag.

You can always write to our support, we will help you with any questions.

Best regards,
FixedFloat team.
Think big. Exchange wisely.

This is of interest to me after over a nearly two years later!
I tried sending ripple from another exchange to a wallet address last night and I provided all information needed to do the transaction via xrp:
XRP deposit address and destination tag
The exchange just wrote the tag in the note and did not include it in the transaction as it was documented by myself before submitting it.

If I knew about x-type addresses I would of sent it this way if the wallet supported it on their platform.
Then I wouldn't be without my rather large transaction of ripple needing to be processed after all security measures have been fulfilled by the operator of the wallet.

Doesn't seem there will be one today for the remaining games in the Return of the Multimaster.
As there is just two so that doesn't give enough to suffice the requirement for this competition.

Ah well. Will just sit and enjoying watching the matches instead of screaming at the television at all the bricks being thrown at the hoop.

Schumacher went into the wall and the Haas car is totaled. Split in half.
Luckily he was airlifted to the nearest hospital and I believe is alright but what a scare for all drivers to witness that.
Qualifying is under a red flag now.
I didn't see the crash due to watching something else at the moment but was flipping to the race on and off.
Hamilton who is also out of qualifying now commented on Mick's condition and look very shocked.
I do hope he is alright and he definitely won't be on the track tomorrow, As the announcer had just mentioned as they will keep him for observation.

^Woohoo I ended up in 5th position so I can look forward to that tasty freebet ha. 1st place shared only by a few people on 6 points -- didn't see any nicks I recognise there so I guess no forum peeps. Also, I see a lot more people participate in this one compared to other American sports promos in the past -- something about basketball?

Keep an eye out for next round I guess, next game in just about 12 hours.
6 correct in competition like this sounds like a wet dream to me Smiley I ended with that 1 correct pick I had the day before so you were better in the end. That one pick is enough for 6th position so it looks a bit funny.

Where is the cutoff for free bets now? Not first 10 for sure since people with 0 correct are on 7th position.
I had 3 correct and received notification on the 4-3-free of a $10 freebet awarded for this round. As it shows another one for the Portugal WC Qualifier.
So it must be at 3 because there are 8 selections and those getting 6 meant they only had 2 wrong.
Probably was those who didn't think Saint Peter's would go thru to the Elite Eight which never happened in the history of the tournament with a 15th seed before. I knew they would do it but guessed they would of had more of a dog fight at the end to go into overtime so to get the over on points.
There was almost a tie 3 pointer that went in at the last second. But it fell short by an inch and bounced off the rim.

Almost had my betslip hit 54mbtc from a 8mbtc wager on the last three matches in the NCAA tournament and only off by 4 points to get the over on the Hurricanes.

Vettel not being available this week as well should be changing a bit of the odds for sure. It is not easy for Aston Martin to matter this season, they already looked bad when the cars first revealed, then they lost Vettel and now they are going to just face the fact that they are only one of the 2 teams that are "fighting" for the bottom spot. Williams and them.

Mclaren will fix their issues, Red Bull will definitely fix them, Williams and Aston Martin doesn't seem to have "issues", they are just plain bad and will not matter. It's sad to see Seb being at this stage of his career racing for this type of team, but that is the reality, what can we do.
Yeah read the headlines that Sebastian Vettel is not available to race this weekend but hopefully he can return soon enough so not to miss anymore races.

I have Sainz to win the qualifying and the race tomorrow in Saudi Arabian grand prix. For some reason even with LeCleric getting the fastest lap during practice I think he won't want to take all the glory this time and will let his teammate have some fun with those fast F1 Ferrari's.

I am more interested now in who did NOT win a prize as even getting 3 right wins a prize in the last one Wink

This one is much harder but with less selections too,,, so I guess even getting 1 right should win you 50USDT freebet. Put that down on one single game of 2x and you have 50 USDT cash Smiley It is a BIG prize for anyone for free!
I agree it only takes one 1 correct prediction to at least get in the top 10 since each prediction consists of two outcomes.

After the first four games today I got two teams correct Villanova and Duke but I failed to predict the correct total on the Villanova. On the bright side, the Duke pick puts me in the top 10 at the very least.
Good to know it only takes one to qualify. Cause we both got the only selection correct for last night.
The leaderboard is show several who got 3 correct. Because they all seemed to be upsets.
Gozanga, Arizona and Texas out.

Still hoping for the cinderella at the ball to go thru til the end at midnight.
