Just read this report: ... 'The European parliament has postponed its vote on the proposed regulatory package for crypto assets after a leaked draft drew criticism for including a provision that sought to ban the use of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ether in the European Union (EU) over energy concerns.
"over energy concerns" Are they out of researchers? Lots of researches have done that the consumed energy in bitcoin mining is too low compared to other industry like banks or even much greener than gold mining. Even lots of these miners moved to green energy compared to this old-aged industries. Why they still keep pushing that it's their main reason? Would be reasonable if they just say that don't want it since they can't control over it. |

So having a cold wallet for a casino is recommended because that can prevent hacking that can happen anytime.
Cold wallets has nothing to do for security of the gambling website to prevent the hacking. If you mean it's used to minimize the damage of lost funds taken when a hack happens, then it's reasonable. In any way, gambling websites should have the same security feature of what exchanges do, it may be a matter of # of funds stored in its hot wallet but it is still a fund to run the business and should be considered in high level of security. |

Sometimes its part of their marketing plan, and will be removed sooner or later. Since mostly these withdrawals are not instant, it is still cheap for casino sending or processing multiple withdrawal in just one send. |

Why banning it if they can regulate it or somewhat control it? Monitoring or somewhat controlling both crypto and internet in an specific area is somewhat feasible, so why not do it in that way instead of getting rid of it since it's impossible to ban it in the first place.
Hearing such statement is good to hear than "we will ban bitcoin because it is used for criminals and to launder money", blabla. This statement is mostly comes from an old government guy who only knows fiat and old stuff.

do you think ongoing sporting events will be postponed (damn.. I have a lot of betting plans on European leagues)
There's no need to think if yes or no because it will obviously be stopped. Safety first, of course. Any sports event or any kind of events near the affected place (Russia and Ukraine, maybe Belarus too) will be postponed in regards of the conflict and war. Never read any news yet but this is sure for the citizens safety. |

This is highly unlikely. When it comes to legal matters exchanges like binance, probably they will ask legal documents regarding for criminal investigation or similar. Your only way to know the user if the wallet address is available publicly with his information which is nearly zero chance to happen. Here's binance policy quoting their statement about such issue. Protection of Binance and others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law or with our regulatory obligations; enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property or safety of Binance, our users or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. https://www.binance.com/en/support/law-enforcement/guidelines |

Shouldn't we be positive that another country adopts Bitcoin because finally another one comes up?
We seem to be clapping our hands with El Salvador adopting it.
It's always great and nice to hear, but not in a middle of a war. It will be another headlines of "Bitcoin is only for criminals" will be in trend once Russia did it. People without having knowledge about crypto will usually say this especially those who are greatly affected and used to say Russia is a criminal espcially for declaring a war. |

to be honest, I have a suspicion after putin declared bitcoin is a currency, I think they will make bitcoin a legal tender there, maybe that's the goal (free from sanctions). Russia is one of the countries with the largest natural resources in the world, so they are not afraid of economic sanctions from outside countries.
They are actually used to it. So it will not matter to them. Whatever Russia.does for BITCOIN to have adoption in their region is going to be great for crypto investors.
I hesitate to believe such positive statement just because its related to bitcoin or crypto, other countries or say US can make a decision regarding their bitcoin regulations when it comes to that to oppose its enemies. |

You can make a thread to Services board [1], put every details you want to expect or do it in PM for questions. Coz every questions you asked depends on the one who will make so its hard to assume since there are a lot of them here. [1] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0 |

because the winners are determined by votes of the Academy of motion picture arts and sciences members. This will be similar to match fix an election because someone made a bet hehehe. You thought the winners are determined only by judges?
Welp, good thing it works like that, as long as the voters are many in numbers and in different place to avoid influincing each other then it would be a relief. The only hard thing to do is to watch all of the best movies/entries and decide the vote. |

If they don't impose harsh sanctions on Putin and Russia today, it's never gonna be over.
Putin just responds of "they're used to it", I know he knew that it will happen so this time is different and I think they are ready for any cons of this sanctions and war. I just hope this does not turn into something even bigger and that the parties involved would still be open for peace talks and somehow reach an understanding that would be good enough to stop this madness.
Well, he have statement of this as well, it's like putin and its government really knows a lot what will happen if they proceed which they did, so it's a huge risk if other countries in EU, US and NATO start to participate. This will escalate to world war which I hope not. |

As far as I can remember this is the gambling subforum. Also, if the sportsbooks did not list the odds for the Oscar awards, no person would be in awe and make them laugh.
Well, this is my first time seeing such betting, so it is. I knew such bets occurs even the simplest competition, or going to happen is capable of being gambled or having bets. Anyway, by such kind of gambling, this is not like a common in gambling where the victor totally depends on score in the fight or a fair play, judges has lots of influence for the outcome, so this may sound like a fixed match, it could happen or happened before, but who knows. |

so let us not think that bitcoin will be able to defeat fiat or any government as they are so powerful to protect their interest.
Plus, bitcoin don't usually work offline so it's useless having bitcoin to pay or transfer in a place where you can't connect to the internet considering not all place have internet. Also, having legal tender is not equivalent to official local currency so I don't think it will be related to government's interest. |

I'm keen to see how other countries will become and react after another country will make bitcoin as a legal tender. Knowing that these people change perspectives when they got expose to such place and full knowledge, albeit, about bitcoin and blockchain.

As far as i know, using non-custodial wallet doesn't mean you can sign a message, only few wallets have this feature. Even though you can access the wallet's private keys, its too risky to use a third party website or app just to make a sign message.
Using electrum in desktop can fully use the feature, i dont know what other wallets do the same.
The point I was making was about the ownership of the private keys, which custodial wallets don't give you access to. Nobody talked about third party websites, but you can still sign a message offline using the available wallets that support the feature. I don't invalidate your point of ownership of private keys towards the using of non-custodial wallet. All i mentioned of using non-custodial that has sign message feature if that what is all about of using it and staking address on that thread. Knowing that you can still sign a message offline is a relief though. |

When you generate Bitcoin addresses using custodial wallets or exchanges like coinbase.com, you don't own the private keys, but it's the custodial service that owns them instead, which means you can not sign a message using that address..

I just see this thread and it make me laugh and awe. That even an event like this can be put in for betting on sportsbooks.
Betting on this should have seen those movies to have better knowledge and analysis who can get the award and I guess this is harder to win than a common sports betting.
What about in sports betting? Would you place your bet on it if you don't know who are the players or the teams that are involved? Unless if you are just trying your luck and don't mind losing. I am not really into sports and I don't know if which last longer, is it the sports or the movie? I mean the duration of the movie and a sports match but i think it also depends on the game and on the movie but we can also used the internet as a reference to instantly know the player or the cast. That cuts time if your not really a fan of watching the whole movie or watching the sport. Oscar awards/betting is a serious event and there is nothing funny about it. Now, now, you seem a very serious person who get annoyed just because you saw someone's laugh without understanding whats behind it. Sports bet is very different and seems to easy to bet and choose, mostly sports only have 2 choices to bet. Unlike this oscars that has lots of entries which last 1 to 2 hours per movie. You cant bet yet and have full analysis not until you watch all of them. So think and decide what is longer to watch. Yes internet is everything, but you cant just decide that the movie is good just watching a single or two clips in the internet even reading reviews, you need to see it yourself. Oscars is serious event, but betting is fun. |

So that means, only 3% of crypto casinos as considered by them has valid license? That's pretty low IMO considering the number of active casinos is only +100.
Anyway, good stuff though. While there are already lots of them, as you can see those ANN threads on this section, you can see that what really shine are those who have unique look, games and not so complicated terms i.e. kyc related. Let see how much more casino will pop in the next few months.

If you install something directly from the Apple app store or Google play store then you are right - you have absolutely no way of verifying what you are installing. This is the wrong way to install things, though.
And that's a knowledge to consider not just from crypto but to all who used to download and install from this mobile distribution services such app store and play store. The better option is to download the app directly from the developer, verify its signatures or hashes, and then transfer the .apk file to your phone to be installed.
The best option is to download the source code, build the binaries yourself, and then use them to install the wallet on your phone.
Common smartphone users don't actually do this, idk if they know such thing exist, even most of the users here probably and that's quite alarming. |
