The basic idea is trading NFTs that would confer an exclusive right of use of the skin. There are quite a few tutorials on how to generate an NFT as a token on the Ethereum network, but it could probably be done equally on any chain out there that supports the right ERC standard. One project that is already on the market is called WAX and it uses a proprietary chain that effectively holds skins and in-game objects. The project is clearly feasible - if not easy - from the technical perspective. A different thing is gaining momentum.

We certainly make noise when we want to. Sometimes however is the wrong kind of noise, as it is much more difficult to convince others if you declare yourself as a maximalist or a fan and simply deny that crypto or bitcoin may actually not be perfect or could be somehow made better.  My view is that we should always be discussing weaknesses, opportunities and improvements rather than chanting and praising. An open political debate is much better than pure propaganda and political influence.

Totalmente bro, lo del ser source está bien porque puedes repartir meritos a diestro y siniestro y apoyar lo que más te gusta y consideras bueno, pero al final, con todo lo que hay que repartir al mes ya se convierte en un trabajazo si quieres realmente distribuir bien y distribuir todo. Creo que el otro día fue mi record personal cuando me quede con "solo" 100 meritos para repartir tras pasar un ratillo por la sección en español. Hace tiempo que seguí una sugerencia que hizo Theymos hace mucho y simplemente repartir de 2 en 2 casi siempre.

Por eso tiene ahora mérito aunque como ha explicado DdmrDdmr el usuario ha sido expulsado de una patada en el trasero me parece que ha echo un aporte bastante últil. Lástima, esto siginifca que el sMerit que ha acumulado ahora está perdido para siempre  

La clave del post nunca es la longitud, sino la capacidad de aportar algo al los que lo leemos y eso es cada vez más difícil en bitcointalk, porque hay millones the post y miles de temas discutidos.

Unfortunately, any information you may possibly get from NK is certain to be biased and difficult to validate or disprove. NK is opaque like few countries out there, but in terms of their economy it is obvious that it is impossible that people in the country are doing well in general, let alone people who have been marked by the regime as enemies.

Regarding the communism in general, people in countries with more or less free markets and more or less "capitalist" would be greatly surprised to know that those communist regimes do have supporters. When the USSR imploded, most people lived without any luxury and they certainly did not have many of the freedoms that democracies had, but they mostly had a roof over their head, a job and food - zero luxury of course other than culture perhaps.

"Capitalist" countries are great at marketing - as it could not be otherwise - and do well presenting examples of people who are successful under the regime, but there is certainly plenty of dirt under the carpet and millions left behind. You will rarely see interviews and documentaries about children living in cars and dying for lack of medical care, people living in hoods in which their only realistic survival option is to join a gang, even modern slaves working in inhuman conditions, etc. Yet that does exist in capitalist countries.

Unfortunately, the middle way and the moderate opinions are not in fashion and everything has to be either black or white. If you support moderation and complex answers you are usually hated by everyone and each group will accuse you of having a political agenda behind your views. Yet here is my view, a purely Capitalist regime is sustainable but leaves many behind. A purely communist regime ignores some of the basic inclinations of people and cannot work. Some countries are not even ready to discuss anything but a tribal government due to the lack of education.

Unfortunately, people abide mostly by simple answers, simple slogans, tweets and, in general, that which makes them feel better about themselves.

Obviously, Draconian laws happen when there is a majority  that choose to have them, with support from lobbies and all that. I am surprised that I have to explain that again.

Why do you assume that I am Spanish and that I live in Spain? Please, note that renewables include hydroelectric, which in a mountainous country like Spain has been in full use more than 60 year ago. Still, solar and wind are low... I am writing this as I pass by a wind generator´s field...you would say that´s karma I guess.

I am zero worried about paying any of my bills. I am very worried about leaving behind a world full of shit. Money won´t buy you another planet.

 Furthermore, I have zero interest in discussing anything on personal terms because that is simply an emotional response to a perceived threat - I do not feel threatened by your views nor your opinion, I simply think these come from your experiences, the people you talk to and the information you access and do not seem to match or resist a check with the real world.

I recently published a post on the same line: is it easy to hodl if you are already "rich". My personal answer is that once you have your basic needs, including financial stability covered, it is much easier to do anything else, including achieving great results with crypto and bitcoin in particular. Crypto is a risky venture in general, with wide swings in price, unclear regulations and a wild west aroma. All that is what attracts two types of people: those who have little to loose and those that have little to fear.

It is far too early to make any prediction. You would need to go way back in time to find two La Liga won by Atletico de Madrid in a row, since it is such a competitive League and prone to surprises after winter and all that. I think that the keys for this season are: How strong is going to be Real Madrid on average, how will Barca be able to replan their game after Messi leaving and will Atletico be able to keep up the pace for two seasons in a row? Many combinations there to start thinking about the final results.

There is an old song called "Thee Gambler" that goes like this (snipped part), by Kenny Rogers if I am not wrong.

Knowing when to hold'em, knowing when to foldèm are usually part of your ability, training and experience when playing poker or other games that have some math to it, my question for the forum is how do you know it is the time "to walk away" and I also hope that you never get to the point that you need to know "when to run".

Gamblers are rarely rational, yet this issue is kind of a mathematical one. Placing your bets on a small number of big bets is more likely to yield extreme results, while placing your bet on a large number of small odds is more likely to give more average results. This also exists when buying stocks and financial assets, the first option is called a "concentrated portfolio" and the second is called "diversifying". Typically, a concentrated portfolio is equivalent to an "all in".

I think that there may be a catch on all this gambling addiction podcast thing, you could potentially become addicted to listening to the podcast and start believing that the interviewees are actually their friends Jokes aside, I think this is a great idea, I would like to be a patron for this type of podcast because dealing with addiction is something that may work in different ways for different people: groups, methods and , why not, podcasts.

I personally do not feel wiser if I have played a game that is pure chance, perhaps I feel lucky an little else - yet a good moment of "oh yesss" does happen. In poker and soccer is a bit different, I would not call it wiser but rather more experienced when winning. It is said that you can learn from your past mistakes, and that has some truth, but it has been proven that you actually learn more of your successes, so winning does get you some "wisdom points".

This is quite the best contribution to economy, the ability to thrive piggy-backing on the irresponsibility of governments, both elected and non-elected. If you think about it, it is short of the surest bet you can make on the behaviour of markets, which on the end are people: they are greedy, they are irresponsible, they are corrupt and they try to kick the problems and take them on only when too late.

I guess that what I mean is that the innovation in coding and programming is modest in comparison with the innovation and achievement in translating psychology into technology.

Permiteme una pregunta estupida de alguien que no ha tenido tratos, que sepa, con la Dark Web. Si you por ejemplo compro una lista de tarjetas y datos personales a un tio que me lo vende en el equivalente al silk road o lo que haya disponible ahora mismo, como puedo fiarme de la informacion? al fin y al cabo todo va a suceder de forma anonima y eso supongon, no?

Creo que se presta mucho a las estafas y como al fin y al cabo estás cometiendo un delito tampoco puedes "reclamar"?

That is quite a common thinking: I made my mortgage payments quicker so I got the house paid earlier. Good, that will certainly give you a degree of assurance on your living, however, if you consider what other things you could have done with your money during the last decades, you may change your view.

You saw your debt as a problem and a burden, even if it was collateralised, instead you could have bought stocks of google, microsoft and others and you would have multiplied you money. You could have used that debt as an asset.

it came to me as a surprise that climbing has been officially introduced into the Olympics in Tokyo, I should have been more aware of the ongoing of the sport. However, I kind of do not like the technical or sports indoor climbing specialties, I am (perhaps was) more of a "trad" climber (traditional climbing) which takes place in the open, usually along relatively long routes in which you use your own tools for self-protection. However I do enjoy the precision and dedication of sport climbing and also the people who create the routes - much more difficult than it looks.

The classic question about what is betting and what is investing. To be honest, I would like to say that there is a clear limit between the two but it is quite a blurred divide rather that something that is subject to definitions. I mostly consider that investing in, e.g. ETFs, is related to buying assets that are related to a productive activity that yields certain results.

For example, buying gold is betting or speculating, while buying stocks of Google is more like investing. This is admittedly very questionable.

It is an eternal dilemma for the clubs that spend large sums to get the best players, like Madrid, Barca, Manchester, Liverpool, Milan,... At the end of the day players are quite fragile, and in fact I am surprised about how long some of them are able to play at the maximum professional level, because it is not only about being motivated after you have earned enough for 10 lifes, it is also about keeping that fitness and hardiness to endure a game that has plenty of hard contact.

Perhaps there is a point in saying that actually not betting on Paralympics or games for people with different abilities is in itself kind of discriminatory. They are athletes and if you have seem some of them, it is amazing how strong, fast and committed they are - nothing to envy to the fully abled athletes at all. For the player, it offers and additional skill to acquire since it may be less common and more difficult to speculate about these athletes and their possible results in the games.

To be honest, the graphic interfaces and in general the user control experience over the games are rarely as good as in other aspects of software. Productivity tools have become more simplified while retaining their original depth for users that require so, gaming has gone beyond anything imaginable just a few years ago in graphics, design and scripts, going into metaverse. However betting has not advanced much. It seems that the industry is reluctant to create something that is radically different.
