Biden officially endorses Trump.

Come on, man.  That's disingenuous and you know it.  Biden unofficially has dementia, but he didn't endorse Trump.


The family is actually losing money by being in politics.

Maybe they should charge those cheapskate Secret Service agents for staying at Mar-a-Lago.

Oh wait...

With so much demonstrably fake news about the President, I don't know how much of that to believe.  Assuming it's all true, is it inappropriate?  How many trips did Clinton or Obama take to Martha's Vineyards?  How many trips did Bush take to his ranch in Texas?  What do a trips of that sort cost the taxpayers, and how does that compare to Trump taking a trip to Mar-A-Lago?

It seems like just another excuse to bash Trump over the head.  Nevertheless, Trump's losses are hardly being compensated by whatever they're charging the Secret Service for staying at Mar-A-Lago.

I'm rooting for Ivanka 2024...

Somehow I doubt that she would run.  First of all, she's said in the past that she was a registered Democrat, and if she wanted to run she probably wouldn't want to run as a Republican.  The Democrats would skewer her for family affiliation, so that may not go so well if she chose to run as a Democrat.  Second, she, along with her brothers have given up some income streams to avoid conflicts of interest while their dad is in office.  The family is actually losing money by being in politics.  Third, calling it a thankless job would be an understatement, it's down-right slanderous.  That's one thing for which the President gets no credit; i.e. losing money and taking shit from the media to serve his country.

Nikki Haley would be my prediction for the 2024 Republican party.

Imagine those users who are in England and always here in this thread, unfortunately they do not get selected [whatever the selection process] but they go and watch the match. It will be nice to meet some of the Bitcoiners in stadium?

I would take it as an insult if they didn't join us.  If Steve was flying people into SFO and taking them to a 49ers game, I would definitely be there, even if I had to pay my own way.
3206  Other / Meta / Re: Possible restrictions on newbie accounts. on: March 10, 2020, 02:44:52 PM
I remember a discussion in one of the technical boards not long ago were a seasoned member speculated that the newbie who started the thread might be an alt of someone wearing a signature.  Posing a question with an alt, then engaging in the discussion to increase his post count.   I consider myself fairly skeptical and suspicious, but that suspicion seemed darn cynical to me.  I understand your concern, but the restrictions you're proposing seem like "throwing the baby out with the bath water."


The first proposal is to create a board dedicated only to newbie members, and that board should be signature free, but the question is how to force newbies to post there, unless they were denied access to post anywhere on forum. This is probably a bad idea, but it may have potential with some modifications.

A dedicated newbie board would become cluttered pretty darn quick.  We have boards dedicated to specific topics for a reason, a board like the one you're proposing would be all over the place with no structure.


The second suggestion focuses more on a topic opened by a newbie member to be automatically locked in let's say 5 answers in the event that the topic launcher does not ask a new question or reply in any other way. I know it is possible that the answer to a question is not given in 5 answers, but if we look at the Beginners & Help board a specific answer to the question will probably be in the first 5 posts.

This is a discussion board, and restrictions and limits on discussions would be counter-productive in my opinion.  I'm not saying that I think you're wrong, but what your proposing would only hurt legitimate newbies' ability to ask questions.

The other thing to keep in mind is there very well might not be a malicious sig-spammer behind it at all.  This isn't the only forum I've seen where newbies show up, ask a question, and never return to acknowledge a resolution.  There could be many reasons behind such behavior.

That's not safe collateral for a loan, and it's considered bad form to offer collateral you're trying to sell.  Some might even consider it an attempt to pull a scam.  I suggest you lock this thread, and proceed with the sale.

my only concern is everyone is obnoxiously tribal to BTC

Not quite.  We do get our panties in a bunch when someone tries to peddle BCH or <gasp> BSV as "the real Bitcoin."  It's deceptive and dangerous to folks who are just getting into cryptocurrency.  Other than that there's no stigma against altcoins, or the fork coins for that matter.

I don't know. I wouldn't consider John Kerry, Walter Mondale nor Jimmy Carter "pretty boys" at all. They did all lose, although Jimmy won the 1st time against the Nixon pardoning klutz Gerald Ford.

Carter was president long before I had any interest in politics, but I remember my dad (who was pretty conservative) being somewhat supportive of him.  I think he appealed to wide range of people due to his humble peanut farming roots and all.  Then there was the Gerald Ford factor...  At least Carter had some hair, so he was definitely prettier.

What about that dude who invented the internets?  He sure was prettier than Dubbaya, at least by my uninitiated perspective.

I don't know why he can return to DT1 after fallen

DT1 members are rotated on a monthly basis.  Theymos posted the most recent list of DT1 members here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5117330.msg53944515#msg53944515

Tecshare has enough member votes to be included on DT1.  However, other DT1 members can exclude him and that will drop him from the DT1 pool.   Prior to this month he had more DT1 member excluding him than he had including him.  As of today his inclusions and exclusions are the same, so his DT1 score is 0.  As long as it's equal to, or greater than 0 he will remain on DT1.

Hi CryptKeeper2020,
Sorry for your loss.  This exchange has been accused of shady dealings many times over.  The more proof you can share with us the better.  It's unlikely we'll be alble to help you get your money back, but perhaps we can prevent these scammers from continuing to besmirch the crypto currency community.

Also, I know you're new here which is probably why you posted this in the "Currency Exchange" board, but it's the wrong section.  I suggest you move it to the "Scam Accusations" board, which where it really belongs.  You can move this thread yourself; there's a button at the bottom of the page, on the left hand side.

One of my favorite sports to follow, Motogp has cancelled it's top tier riders' race that was supposed to be held yesterday in Dubai.  They let the two lower tier riders race, but the stands were empty.  The event that was scheduled for Thailand later this month has been cancelled all together.  The next even will be held in Texas, and so far no closure notice has been issued.  I was planning to take a flight to Arizona and meet up with a buddy, and road-trip to Texas from there.  I'm reluctant to buy the plane tickets now.  Not sure if the event will be cancelled, and I likely won't be refunded for the flight.

I was supposed to be flying to Germany today to visit a vendor of ours, but the vendor cancelled the event due to fears of Covid-19.  I'm actually a bit relieved about that, I have no anxiety about flying, but being in confined quarters with a bunch of sickos does make me a bit paranoid.


Steve takes the boys to the box!! what a day...   Cool Cool

I can't wait to see what Steve has planned for this, I would love a trip to England to watch a Watford match.  Thanks in advance to Sportsbet and best of luck to all!

co-vid19 is a virus which has a particular symptom list

No, it's a disease caused by a Virus.  
The official name of the virus is 'SARS-CoV-2'.  The official name of the disease is 'coronavirus disease 2019', co-vid19 for short.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/summary.html

Is it a disease, illness, sickness, indisposition, condition, disorder, or merely a malady?

Dose it produce symptoms, distemper, aches, pains, or only misery?

Is it infectious, contagious, transmittable, or is it merely communicable?

Do semantics make it any more or less of a threat?

Full time - Man Utd 2-0 Man City

That second goal was just a slap in the face to City.  I loved it!  Congrats to ManU for the win and maintaining so stay in the top 5.


Liverpool now only need 6 points from the remaining 9 games to be CHAMP19NS for the nineteenth time. I was 3 or 4 the last time we did it so this will be my first time witnessing it.

I’m greedy though, I want the CL so bring on Atletico on Wednesday. I am sad that I don’t have a ticket for that one, the atmosphere is going to be electric. What does everybody think, can we overturn a 1-0 deficit from the 1st leg to make the 1/4 finals?

I think we will.

25 point lead, and only two wins away from sealing the deal.  It's been a great season for LFC, and it could be over by March 21st.  I too am rooting for them to take the UCL, they should have no trouble scoring two this Wednesday.

To Royse777's point;

this software is provided by betb2b which also handles other related sites.

Has anyone had any experience with BetB2B?  According to the whois data the domain url was created in June of 2017.  There is no information about a team, or any reference to ownership.  According their website they are registered in Curacao, and the licensed address is listed as Perseusweg 27 A, Curacao, but according to Google Maps this address is in the trees.  They list their Curacao license as 8048/JAZ2017-066.  Also, I'm no expert on web development, but their website looks like it was made using a common template, and the tab title is "Constructor."  I don't know, but the whole thing looks like a shady, fly-by-night operation to me.

I wish his trolling would stop.

Me too, but if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.  I guess neither, his trolling nor the threads pointing it all out will stop.  But I don't see any benefit of either, so what's the point?  Pointing out his trolling isn't going to get him banned.  It didn't work for Thule or cryptohunter, who (in my opinion) would be far more deserving of a "troll ban" than Tecshare.  So what makes you think it's going to get Tecshare banned?

Again, I'm assuming that's the point of this thread, if I'm wrong please correct me.


~
Please link posts where Tecshare targeted you.
~
Can you link these posts as well?
~
Elaborate this.

I'm not sure what your reasons are for asking me for all this evidence.  Do you think it'll cause me to change my mind about this thread or do you think I'm making it up?  Suffice it to say the evidence exists, but I'm not interested in spending any time digging through his numerous posts where he's called me out.


You claim Tecshare is troll and on the other hand you said that it is starting to look like witch hunt. There is no anti-tecshare, there is troll who is trolling wherever he can and there are some users who will point his trolling.

How is creating thread about user who is trolling == witch hunt?

My assumptions, which I've already admitted cause me to think the point of this thread to get Tecshare banned.  That would make it a witch-hunt.  I started my first post in this thread with a question, if I'm wrong correct me.  If this thread is nothing more than a showcase of Tecshare's trolling then it seems even more pointless.

Watford have got some explaining to do, damn it. They have the game of their lives & beat us 3-0 last weekend which was our first loss in over a year. They then go & lose to a fucking Roy Hodgson managed Crystal Palace.

 Angry

That was a disappointment.  I only had the Arsenal game available on local bradcast, so I watched that, but kept an eye on the score board.  It's sad, I really wanted them to pad their lead over the other threatened teams.

It was good to see LFC looking more like themselves, gives me hope for their match against Atletico.

And, hey now!  How about them gunners!?!?  Two EPL wins in a row, and actually they haven't lost an EPL match all year.  The only match they have lost this year was a tough one, and knocked them out of Europa League.  Hopefully they can manage to get a spot for next year.
3219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: March 07, 2020, 06:09:42 PM
I agree with South Park, Brady has never particularly driven by the money.  Considering his success he could easily have gotten huge contracts over the years, but instead, he has opted to take pay-cuts to help keep the team competitive in other positions.  I think he's rather win Super Bowls than be the highest payed Quarterback of the week.  He also knows that his best chances of winning Super Bowls are with the Patriots.

And lets not forget that players earn a significant amount for every post season game they play (and more if they win,) and a huge sum for the Super Bowl.  If I'm not mistaken, the pay for extra games is in addition to the figure agreed upon in their contracts. 

Whatever games Brady or Belichick might be playing, I would venture to guess that a big payday isn't what Brady is after, or what the Patriots are trying to avoid.  I really believe that Brady would like to prove himself as the GOAT, and not have his entire carrier include the asterisk named Belichick.  The past week I've been seeing a lot speculation about Brady coming to the 9ers, but I really don't think there's much chance of that happening.  The 9ers need help, but it ain't in the quarterback position.  They can move away from Garoppolo without any salary cap hit, and make a decent deal to get Brady, but I really don't think that would be the right direction for the team to go.

Belichick would like to keep winning, and he's calculated about it.  His quarter back doesn't have to be named Brady remain in contention, but it wouldn't hurt.  Like any calculated coach ought to, he'll keep his emotions out of the decision, and do what's best for his team.  Right now his options are open, and there's no need to rush to a decision.


Time for XFL again Grin

I'm sorry to say that I'm already over it.  The new season of Major League Soccer started up last weekend, and I'm anxious to see how LAFC does.  I'll keep watching the XLF games through out the week, but I'll be selective about them.  I haven't picked a team I'd like to root for, so that may be the reason for my indifference.

Nothing.  Awarding merit is not moderated, the mods don't have time or the inclination to deal with that as a headache.  Also, awarding merit is subjective, every one who has received merit can give away their sMerit anyway they wish, within reason.  I'm not a merit source, but I can only assume the same holds true for them.  No body is looking over the merit source's shoulder to make sure they are giving merit to the "right posts."

Then there's this:
