I'm more interested in commenting on Liverpool vs Everton because the two teams are on two different floors of the table, some are fighting to be the leader of the table and also get out of the relegation zone.
It seems difficult for Everton to be able to win the match against Liverpool even though they field their best squad, because in the remaining matches Liverpool are required to continue to win because of the intense competition with Manchester City.
That scenario is one of the things that makes the Premier League the best league in the world  Grin

The outstanding favourites to win have to be Liverpool but it is a Merseyside derby, anything can happen. If Liverpool won 5-0 or if the game ended 1-1 or 2-2, even with a 0-1 victory for Everton it would not surprise me. Liverpool need a win because Manchester City play Watford a day earlier and could be sitting 4 points clear at the top before Liverpool even start their game.

As for Everton, they are just 1 point above the relegation zone with Burnley chasing them. They will be desperate for points and would be happy to collect just 1 from a draw.

by the way, congratulations to Erik Ten Hag who has been officially announced as the new coach of Manchester United on Thursday, 21 April 2022. Will he be able to return Mancheter United back to fourth place in the standings to advance to the UCL?
He will have a mountain to climb trying to turn the fortunes of the team around but if he is given time he should prove himself to be a good manager. If he has a string of bad results then he will not be given time and that will be a disaster for him and the football club.

Yes he is definitely out of the country and preparing to face Joshua. The media were having a field day when they were unsure if Usyk would leave the army and travel to make the fight happen but there is no doubt about it.

Fury vs Usyk is still a massive possibility, maybe the most likely outcome too but just imagine what would happen if Whyte beats Fury and then Joshua beats Usyk. How many people would have imagined a unification fight between those two?

Their weigh-in was a funny event with Whyte and Fury giving a lot of respect to each other. A short video is here: https://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/12183/12595925/tyson-fury-wbc-heavyweight-title-holder-weighs-in-heavier-than-opponent-dillian-whyte-for-wembley-date



Usyk left Ukraine to prepare for the rematch against Joshua. It is definitely going ahead, it will not be postponed.
Oh really? I thought the only news sources reporting on this was the Mirror, and S*n which I'll be honest I just took it lightly. If that's true, that's an interesting chain of events.

Everton have the better squad for sure but do they have the better team cohesion? I think this weekend will be important because Burnley are at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers at 2pm. A win or even a draw would push  Everton in to the relegation zone.

At 4.30pm on Sunday Everton play Liverpool at Anfield and it would be allow for a classic match as Everton fight relegation and Liverpool fight to keep up with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League.

@JollyGood it’s a worst time to be a manager of either clubs, but I feel that Everton has better player’s and they can guide the club to safety. However if Burnley continues to push them till the end, then it’ll be Everton player’s toughest test and I’m hoping that they can pass it with flying colours, because I don’t want to see them eliminated.

We've lost four FA Cup finals in the last five years, and we've been plagued by the Wembley curse.
I did not realise Chelsea had been in so many finals and lost so many of them. Since you are sure Chelsea will beat Liverpool in the final, what do you think the score will be?  Smiley

Liverpool just seem to not perform well against Chelsea this season. I do believe though we've got a lot better since the last time we've met, and Chelsea are arguably in one of their poorer runs of form recently. So, I'm still going in confident with a Liverpool win.
Right now Liverpool are in a position to win 4 major trophies but this is the only opportunity remaining for Chelsea therefore I think Chelsea will not allow Liverpool to dominate the game. Tuchel will go for an all-out attacking team because the pressure will be on Liverpool to try to make history with an unprecedented quadruple. I think Chelsea will give Liverpool big problems even though Liverpool are favourites to win.
3286  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ English Premier League Season: 2021/2022 on: April 21, 2022, 10:14:06 PM
The result from the game played earlier today:

Burnley 2-0 Southampton

It means Burnley have played one game more than Everton but are just 1 point behind. Everton are still not safe yet, I think Burnley will try to fight them until the end because one of them will be relegated and the other will survive and stay in the Premier League for next season.


3287  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ]: FURY vs WHYTE - CONFIRMED on: April 21, 2022, 09:54:01 PM
Surely, since Usyk I believe is currently in Ukraine fighting for his country, surely the most logical thing to do now would be to put that fight on the back burner, since we don't know exactly when he'll return, and set up the Fury vs Joshua fight, assuming that Fury beats Whyte on the weekend.
Usyk left Ukraine to prepare for the rematch against Joshua. It is definitely going ahead, it will not be postponed.

I know Fury has said he's retiring, and for those that are taking that serious, it might just be a plan to try, and make the above happen, since we've all wanted that fight.
He probably will not retire until he unifies the belts and becomes undisputed heavyweight champion and defends the belts at least once.

Also, I probably won't be watching this fight, but I'm expecting Fury to win it without any issues. Probably finishes Whyte too given his age, and lack of stamina. Although, I could easily see it going to a decision win by Fury too, depends on the route he wants to take.
I will be watching the fight because I want to see if Fury still has the hunger to unify the belts. If Whyte loses badly then he will probably have to retire but he will have enough energy at least in the first few rounds to match Fury but overall he does not have many backing him because technically he is too inferior a boxer to Fury.

Hello naim027. It might be productive for you in getting a community view on the 1xbit scammers by starting a thread instead of asking the question here but I will try to answer the question for myself. If 1xbit scammers apologised for their scams and returned funds to their victims then I would make a decision about my opinion on them and my tags at that particular time, I cannot speak for others.

As for that user you refer to, he sent multiple PMs asking for the tags to be removed. He literally begged FatFork and myself to have the tags removed by claiming he made a mistake. I sent him hope by saying he should focus on being a good contributor in this forum to show he was a reformed character but as soon as the 1xbit signature campaign opened up again, he re-applied to join. That account is probably controlled by a puppeteer that has farmed many accounts for signature campaign purposes.

Here is what I already suggested to him but he decided to ignore it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5347222.msg59670365#msg59670365

Hi, JollyGood! What if a 1xbit promoter comes to this thread and apologizes for what he/she has done in the past. Do you believe the community should forgive them? I am not sure if any of those will take the chance if the community agrees to remove those tags. But, I am a bit curious about communities' thoughts about this matter. I didn't bother to create a thread. I guess I can ask the question here.

So, What do you specifically suggest to this guy?

Sir, I made that mistake.  Give me a chance, I promised I would never make such a mistake again.Please forgive me for my mistake

ERC721 - A plague upon it when thieves cannot be true one to another!

Craig S Wright Chief Scientist at nChain and inventor of Bitcoin and over 1000 other things
21 apr. 2022

ERC-721
           The Ethereum token standard for NFT’s ERC-721 was first filed as a concept by the ethereum team in September 2017. This date is interesting because, like many other so-called new inventions in this industry, it is within 4 to 6 weeks of several nChain patents being published. GB2561465B was granted only a few months ago, but it was first filed in February 2016. The invention was made public in August 2017 when the filing was initially published.

  ERC 721 was started then created 6 weeks after the nChain patents became publicly known.We filed in Feb 2016. We use the 18 month secrecy period. Then, these papers become publicly known and available.6 weeks later, ETH has a system that uses my invention.

           The invention encompasses much more than merely the pitiful use in making board apes. It was also filed in conjunction with EP3295362B1 (also granted), EP3295349B1, EP3295350B1 (granted) and multiple other patent ideas.

           These patents cover concepts that are incorporated in the claim such as the following:

1.     A computer system for verifying integrity of a computer software for installation using a distributed hash table and a peer-to-peer distributed ledger, the system comprising a processing device associated with a node on a peer-to-peer network of nodes, configured to:

determine a metadata (M) associated with a transaction record stored on the peer-to-peer distributed ledger;

determine an indication of the location of an entry on the distributed hash table from the metadata (M);

determine a third hash value (H3) based on the computer software;

determine a fourth hash value (H4) from the entry on the distributed hash table;

compare the third hash value (H3) and the fourth hash value (H4); and

verify the integrity of the computer software based on the compare of the third hash value (H3) and the fourth hash value (H4).

And

1.     A computer-implemented method of verifying integrity of a computer software for installation using a distributed hash table and a peer-to-peer distributed ledger, the method comprising:

determining a metadata (M) associated with a transaction record stored on the peer-to-peer distributed ledger;

determining an indication of an entry stored on the distributed hash table from the metadata (M);

determining a third hash value (H3) based on the computer software;

determining a fourth hash value (H4) from the entry on the distributed hash table;

comparing the third hash value (H3) and the fourth hash value (H4); and

verifying the integrity of the computer software based on the comparing of the third hash value (H3) and the fourth hash value (H4).

And

“The present disclosure relates to security, control and verification methods for ensuring and maintaining the integrity of a digital asset. The invention is particularly suited for verifying the ownership and/or integrity of an item of computer software. This may comprise using a distributed hash table and a peer-to-peer distributed ledger (blockchain)”.

The range of the invention and the scope of the patents far exceeds anything people do in the NFT world. It includes digital bonds, financial instruments, IoT control systems, authentication systems and much more. Basically, everything that you currently hear about in the so-called Cryptocurrency industry is not even one percent of the scope of my inventions. So, for those of you using ethereum and other platforms.., You may wish to re-evaluate; it won’t be just gas fees. The claim that you don’t need to pay fees because it’s on an MIT licence is erroneous. MIT doesn’t include patent protection.

When I launched bitcoin, I chose MIT licensing for a reason. Software that involves cryptographic components needs to be verified, and this requires open-source code publication. However, an MIT licence does not preclude the use of patented material. Unfortunately for those who use ethereum, many people take my ideas and think they can implement them with impunity. In 2017, I spoke about some of these concepts before ethereum decided to steal them.

Back then, patents were only pending, and you cannot take action for a pending patent.

Now, a proceeding to grant. Welcome to the future.

There is a solution, nChain has implemented a patent pool. As a result, small start-ups will be able to trial ideas without cost. It is only those large silicon valley companies and pseudo-companies like ethereum that think they don’t need to follow law or property rights that are going to find life more difficult.

He that is robbed, not wanting what is stolen, him not know t, and he's not robbed at all. William Shakespeare.

Thank you for posting about this  Smiley

1xbit are shamelessly using their website as a front to divert away from the facts. The facts are 1xbit are scammers and that cannot be denied.

I think the greed displayed by some members in the forum is shocking. Some members would gladly dump their moral compass for the sake of pocketing some cash.


A new account that decided to ruin its reputation and advertise a scam. I don't know if he's read everything the site he advertised is famous for, but I think JollyGood, you'll draw the right conclusion.

edit: No. He is aware of this company. Wink

1xbit has a really bad reputation right now. I think they should bear a great responsibility for that. They have come back to the forum, but do not resolve situations.
I don't believe in new management at all. If they had good intentions at all, they should at least start paying people.
3291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ]: FURY vs WHYTE - CONFIRMED on: April 21, 2022, 03:02:39 PM
If there is no rematch clause then that will be another potential error on part of Frank Warren. The other was not having including obligations on part of Whyte to attend fight promotions.

It was not exactly a smooth face off when they met yesterday. Their teams had to be pulled apart. John Tyson nearly had a fight with a member of the Whyte team but they calmed the situation down.

In the end the boxers were not involved in trying to have a pre-fight fight. It looked they were best friends when they stood in Wembley for the photo shoot  Grin

I don't think there is a rematch clause if I recall correctly what Tyson said, but I'm sure if Whyte did win he'd be all too willing to fight Fury again. If there's no rematch clause then the ball would be in his court so he has all the power and can dictate the terms of the rematch which Fury would have no choice but to accept.

You are right, I know the odds are stacked in favour of Liverpool to win the FA cup but in a final anything can happen. Just because Chelsea lost against Arsenal at home does not mean they will give Liverpool a free pass to demolish them at Wembley.

@JollyGood if Arsenal can beat Chelsea then I’m sure that Liverpool will easily beat them in the finals, and just when it felt that Chelsea was stabilising itself it’s clear that they’re mentally not ready. Furthermore mark my words Liverpool will easily score minimum 3 goals against them, and if Chelsea’s defence fails badly then I expect Liverpool to score up to 6 goals.
3293  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ English Premier League Season: 2021/2022 on: April 20, 2022, 08:53:28 PM
Salah scored two fantastic goals tonight, and I feel bad for him because he isn't getting the media attention he deserves.him.
I agree with this. I think it has somehow just become normal for people to accept what Salah does regularly without even appreciating all the effort he puts in to his all round game with assists as well as goals. He does not receive appropriate recognition.

I don't think anyone expected Manchester United to win tonight, can't believe they spent nearly £200 million on their defensive line and still can't keep clean sheets

Normally that's fair enough, but against Liverpool it's harsh. No team in the world can be expected to keep a clean sheet against Liverpool... even Man City concede several goals every time they play.
Well Manchester City are looking for revenge the next time they meet and maybe if they have a first choice starting 11 with no injuries then Liverpool will not be getting a easy ride like they did in the FA Cup semi-final. You are right though, Liverpool seem like they will score whether it is from Salah, Mane, Firmino, Jota or now even Diaz.


Here are the results from the games this evening:

Chelsea 2-4 Arsenal

Everton 1-1 Leicester City   

Newcastle United 1-0 Crystal Palace   

Manchester City 3-0 Brighton and Hove Albion


Manchester City are back on top of the Premier League. Everton even with a draw capitalised on Burnley losing their match. Arsenal back in contention for a 4th place finish with an unexpected win at Chelsea.
3294  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ English Premier League Season: 2021/2022 on: April 19, 2022, 09:13:57 PM
I think the top 4 will be:

Liverpool
Man City
Chelsea
Spurs
You just might me right because Tottenham still have the advantage over Manchester United but if Arsenal win their game in hand they will be up there with Tottenham.

The match between Manchester United and Liverpool is not one that either Liverpool or Manchester United would want to play at this point in the season, when both teams need to win to stay in contention for their respective positions. Liverpool needs 3 points to keep pace with Manchester City at the top of the table, while Manchester United needs 3 points to remain in contention for a place in the top four. Liverpool has a good chance of winning this match.
You are absolutely right both teams will be going for a win, they both need 3 points. If Liverpool win they severely dent the hopes of their opponent in finishing 4th and if Manchester United win they severely dent the hopes of their opponent in finishing as champions. What a game it will be but it is stacked heavily in favour of Liverpool to win.

RESULT:

Liverpool 4-0 Manchester United

Liverpool move 2 points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League after demolishing Manchester United in the game played earlier this evening.


Ronaldo is going through a difficult time following the death of his son. May his soul rest in peace.
Very sad news about his loss. I hope he and his wife manage to recover from this tragedy and look forward to what positive moments life holds for them and their family.

I agree about him not exactly having the gift of the gab, but he could have at least offered some insight or tried to do some mindgames on Fury. It was all just vanilla, but I'm guessing deep down he still doesn't really wanna promote the fight given there's nothing in it for him at this point.
Whyte waited so long for this opportunity, I worry for him that maybe he has waited too long and will go in to this fight half-hearted. He does seem fairly disinterested in the fight and the opportunity to become WBC heavyweight world champion but that could be down to him feeling he was deprived of his real share of the fight.

Whether he should retire or not depends on how well he does in this fight. If he gives Fury a hard time I'm sure this will renew interest in him, but I'm not sure that will happen. As for the money, he might feel short changed in regards to what Fury is getting but it's still more than 8 times than what he got from his last fight. It doubles if he wins as well so there's a hell of an incentive. He will have enough money to retire after this fight but boxers seem to go through cash like it's unlimited hence why they end up fighting way past their prime.  There's still probably options for him though.
In that case if it is all about finances as far as Whyte is concerned, the best scenario for him would be to defeat Fury and then have the rematch. In that way whether he wins or loses the second fight that would set him up for life but I think the chances of that happening are virtually zero.

Only few days are left, and I can't wait to see Tyson Fury fighting again, and you can bet your house he will try to win this fight with a style in his country at Wembley stadium.
Fury has a big reach advantage and odds for him are very low, so I would look for value in some special bets.
I think this fight is just a warm up for long expected fight against Anthony Joshua, this would be much moer interesting to watch and I would again support Fury to win.
You seem sure Fury will face Joshua for a unification fight but in order for that to happen Fury must defeat Whyte and in the other fight Joshua must defeat Usyk. In my opinion it is highly unlikely a Fury vs Joshua unification fight will happen. I think a Fury vs Usyk  unification fight is more likely to happen.
3297  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ English Premier League Season: 2021/2022 on: April 19, 2022, 08:44:16 AM
I don't know why Westham is very difficult to hold the winning in the home even Burnley is a club which being fight in degradation zone.
On their day, even the teams at the bottom of the league can secure points against those near the top that is why it is the best league in the world and is the most exciting.

You can talk a lot about Manchester United but still there comes a game when you just can't get enough of watching. And Cristiano Ronaldo is just something else. Despite winning dozens of cups, championships and ballondors, this hunger for success, determination and ambition actually explains the reason why he is at the top. He has a hat-trick in a team like Manchester United, where there are so many problems. Such a great goal from a free kick at the age of 37. I have goose bumps.
It will take several years before we might see the next superstar with the talent and ability he has. Maybe there will not be another phenomenon like Cristiano Ronaldo because his records speak for themselves. Amazing.

It's devolving into a three-horse race, just when everyone thought Arsenal and Tottenham would fight it out after Manchester United looked like a potential Europa League contender last week. Manchester United has a chance of finishing in the top four after Aresenal  three games in a row and Tottenham losing a crucial game. Arsenal and Tottenham are the league's two biggest bottlers.
I agree. How was it possible for Spurs to squander the opportunity they had and before that it was Arsenal that were seemingly in control but after their poor run of results it allowed Manchester United back in to contention for that all important 4th place finish.

Here is the current Premier League table. Things are extremely tight in that fight for the 4th champions league spot but Everton seem to have escaped a relegation battle with Burnley as the gap between them increases:

Here are the results from the games that were played earlier today:

Newcastle United 2-1 Leicester City

West Ham United 1-1 Burnley



Leicester City were winning 0-1 but ended up going in at half-time at 1-1, then eventually lost the game 2-1 when Newcastle United scored in the 5th minute of time add-on.

West Ham United did nothing to help their push for a 4th place finish with this draw but they had to come back from a goal down to equalise. Burnley needed more than just the one point to put pressure on Everton as they try to avoid relegation but it seems inevitable now.
