I find it absolutely sickening that during all this outrage, which was sparked after the death of a 22-year old woman, there are still men supporting the wear of the hijab and being against women who want to wear whatever they want. I've seen videos of men harassing women for this reason. Personally, I'm an atheist and completely against any religion. To this day, I cannot understand why people blindly stick to religion even though it infringes on your freedom and rights. Christianity isn't much better, but Islam shows way worse values for women or people perceived as different. Not to mention that women were not permitted to obtain a driver's license in Saudi Arabia. I've seen a pattern in many Islamic countries encroaching on other people's freedoms, freedoms that the west takes for granted.

I honestly haven't anyone in western world supporting forced hijab. I have heard people supporting freedom to wear them if one chooses. Which i can understand because i don't want to kink shame people. I mean it could be a sex thing for all i know.

But religion is just another form of oppressing women, some religions are just pretty hardcore with it. Misogyny lives in western society as well in different forms, but all it takes is some ridiculous new justification for it and we would get to hardcore stone age rules with it again. Religion is just excuse and one more weapon to use. It's as efficient as totalitarian dictatorships.

We are responsible for the fact that people may have problems with the game. That's why we have a self-exclusion tool https://betfury.io/responsible-gambling

To my knowledge self-exclusion is a requirement to have a gaming licence in the first place so it's not really because of your "responsibility" but because if you want to stay operational. Every legit casino has this so i guess this just means you are legit enough.

Not trying to insult here and i like your casino, i am just annoyed when businesses are taking credit for something that's required anyway.

Sorry If this is not the place to post this.

Did anyone have any experience with mrSloty.com?
there are a lot of sportbook markets, but cannot find to much info about that bookie.

All I found is that the withdrawals takes a lot of time, bout 14-20 days

Are these people who waited for 20 days still waiting their money back? Because it sure looks like that. Trustpilot ratings are overwhelmingly 1 star, and i would avoid it even if it had few of the bad but possibly credible reviews.

Even if it wasn't a scam, waiting over week of anything would be just beyond surreal when one main advances of cryptos is that they are fast to send.

So this software magically makes your car mine $20/hr worth of Bitcoin?  What ASICs are being used to reach this feat?  I hate to call bullshit, but I'm going to.  Even if your car could somehow mine Bitcoin faster than the best ASICs on the market, it's not like the electricity is free.  You're still paying for it.  I'm not sure if you expect someone to give you 5 grand just on the promise of this magic software with no evidence of it working whatsoever, but I find it extremely unlikely.  This doesn't even come close to passing the sniff test.  If this were possible, people would be buying fleets of these cars and parking them at chargers all over the country.

As I posted in the original post, we are the first to develop a solution like this and it is completely new way of mining crypto. We’ve sold 600 units already and all the feedback is positive. Everybody has it own choice how and where to invest his money.

You literally didn't explain it in the first post. And this one wasn't an answer to OgNasty's question. The answer you need to give is an explanation on HOW.
Anyone can say that they were the first to develope a magic mystery money software. This isn't an explanation, you are just making a claim that anyone can do. Sure, i can make a software that mines during the charging my car, it's just i have to pay for that extra electricity that goes for mining and not charging my car.

3287  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can i get banned for Card Counting in online casinos? on: September 27, 2022, 07:09:40 AM
Well technically casinos can choose their customers and make up excuses to throw you out. But that's risky to them as they could face a lawsuit if that would go south, making them lose more then they would have in the first place.

But there's no way that anyone would prove that you count cards, and you would have to do that a lot with thousands of participants with very high stakes to make even a small dent to their income. They don't really even care. I think that trowing out people is just a rumor that some people have started of themselves after they lost money, behaved poorly while drunk. So they wouldn't have to prove to anyone anything.

Casinos in Finland are constantly reshuffling their set of packs anyway so counting wouldn't make a difference so much that it would give much of an edge. So i guess this is a cool story to glorify some brilliant mythical players to make gamblers feel better about their changes.

Changed my mind, this has too many red flags and seems like an obvious scam.

There's no place where you could ask or talk about bounty, no escrow, all details are more then vague. Asking politely anything about this gets you banned.
3289  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Now it's time for staking on: September 20, 2022, 10:06:21 AM
Staking is fun even with some small amounts, profit is not big, but something is coming, and you grow some coin you like and believe in. Why not? It's better to put your coins at work than to just put them in some wallet...

Sure, if you don't mind all your coins/tokes will be stuck in cex that that you have to trust for a month or how ever long that staking period is. If you think that risk is worth that tiny amount of tokens you will get then sure, that's the way to go. But with small amounts staking, you get way more with a VERY small price now then you could ever stake in your lifetime.

Small APY safer staking, higher APY more risky staking, I always advise to diversify, majority in small and with some amount try higher APY, without risk here and there there's no gain.

What risk are you talking about in here and what kind of staking?
3290  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Basic Attention Token Price Prediction | Is BAT a Good Investment? on: September 19, 2022, 04:39:50 PM
Basic Attention Token is an Ethereum-based content and commercial stage sent off in 2017. It has Brendan Eich and Brian Bondy as the fellow benefactors. Its local token is called BAT.

Basic Attention Token (BAT) Price Prediction 2022

BAT cost was swinging from $0.36 resistance2 to $0.35 resistance1 in the wake of contacting the help level of $0.30. It turned around from the help level of $0.30 and presently going sideways on the lookout and is supposed to be bullish before very long. In the meantime, our drawn-out BAT Price Prediction for 2022 is bullish since it can't break the current help level soon. We can anticipate that BAT should reach $1 in 2022.


Even with purely speculative asset with purely technical outlook for potential market value growth, no. At least not in near future until we turn from this bear market. BAT has a relatively large community so that could help it a lot in the bull market shilling department but if we look purely fundamentals, maybe i am not understanding the reason for it. People have explained it to me and i have understood what they said but i can't still see any good reason for it to exist. Even moons in reddit make more sense if you can buy ads with them in the future.
3291  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: CZ claimed Layer 2 isn't really needed yet on: September 19, 2022, 04:28:25 PM
We have few layer 1 projects in the crypto space right now and new ones are showing up but the thing is no layer 1 project fixed every layer 1 problems yet so why are layer 2 projects showing up in numbers? Do we really need layer 2 projects right now? I watched a CZ and Crypto banter interview on Youtube and CZ claimed we don't need layer 2 yet.

Not sure what he meant by that as most layer 1 projects would get clogged by the huge amount of not so important transactions that could be easily done in layer 2. Was he talking about BNB or cryptos in general? Where did he say this because i can't find that by googling and it would make more sense to answer to your question if we saw what he actually said rather then hearing vague recap of the statement.

If anyone can find the original statement would be interested to check it out.
3292  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Now it's time for staking on: September 19, 2022, 04:22:54 PM
Famz is there anyway someone can early month staking a altcoin? I don't want the yearly ones APY right? I want monthly and also I will like or prefer to stake BTC or USDT or any top altcoins like XRP or BNB just to be on the safer side, the year we are in a bear market but I am in for the long term so I really don't care about market situation.

At these rates if you don't own a huge pile of it, you'll be better off with just buying it more what ever you want to stake. Even if it was just small amounts it's probably way more profitable for you in the future even more so if you are in this for a long term. With small APY you need a huge pile of crypto to make that staking meaningful income, while if you own small stack you can buy like 5% more to your stack with small amount of money instantly.
3293  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Tornado Cash Develoepr got arrested, why Monero, Beam or Secret founder are free on: September 18, 2022, 09:34:56 PM
Because tornado devs were laundering money. Or at least they were accused of doing so.

These others are just developing protocols for confidential transactions and studying zero knowledge proofs. That's not illegal.

On the other hand dealing with currencies that are used to escape regulations can be declared as illegal because of AML laws. But not yet as it doesn't really matter as long as you are converting it to fiat money you get to deal with regulators. And if they are not happy about your explanation where you got the money, they will just confiscate it.
3294  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Few crypto thoughts of the day on: September 18, 2022, 09:27:17 PM
1. The minimum deep that BTC dived to was 17,500$ do you still think we are going below 13,000$? If yes please explain.
2. Does it matter if you build a crypto portfolio at 15k per BTC or 10k per BTC.
3. In 2020 covid was the reason why BTC crumbled to 3,500$ what will happen in 2023 that will bring the same deep dive to crypto market.
4. Crypto keeps looking stronger every year, it's getting more recognised and big players of the world are saying BTC is a better store of value than the dollar for long term, are they right.

War is not probably stopping soon. Things get rougher before they get better. But there's a possibility that next 2 years have been already priced in, and those next 2 years are going to be really bad for bitcoin. If it doesn't get banned in cexes for PoW, it will most likely be taxed near death.

If it doesn't get banned, it will probably stay on these levels as people are too afraid to fomo or sell. Most of the investors are probably slowly taking the risk and dollar averaging their buys while it's under 20k
3295  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH is always one step behind the competition on: September 18, 2022, 09:17:11 PM
I don't get why people are so hyped about ETH's switch to PoS (The Merge) when we already had other PoS blockchains in the first place (eg: Cardano, BNB). Competing chains often add new features before ETH does. Even Zilliqa adopted "Sharding" (which is a scaling technique), before ETH did. Yet, ZIL's price is nothing compared to ETH. If ETH is always one step behind, then why it's extremely valuable? Doesn't that make ETH overpriced? I'd say the same about Bitcoin, but no other crypto outmatches its level of decentralization and censorship-resistance.

What are your thoughts? Huh

Tech, even if it would be developed first by other chains is irrelevant without developers building with it and user base using it. And most of this tech is easy to adapt to eth anyway. Not everything but most. If there will be a superior chain that's not eth, using cutting edge tech that's hard implement to eth, developers slowly will move to it. But ETH has all the brainiacs and no other chain attracts as much geniuses so i woudn't hold by breath anyone beating eth any time soon.
3296  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETC to $100 soon? on: September 18, 2022, 09:10:40 PM
I've read somewhere that ETC's hashrate increased by a large margin after the much-awaited "Merge" on the ETH blockchain. It seems that most miners are moving to ETC instead of the newly-created ETHW fork. The original chain (ETC) has been around the scene for a couple of years now, but the recent migration of miners might encourage developers to build new dApps and tokens on it. If adoption grows like crazy, we might never see ETC in the "double digits". The market is bearish right now, so ETC is having a hard time getting past $40. But in crypto land, anything's possible.

If ETC adoption booms, do you think it's possible prices will go all the way to $100? After all, ETC is much scarcer than ETH (only 210m ETC will exist). Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Smiley

Obviously miners move to somewhere, but just because they mine it more now, it doesn't mean it would be more popular as there's no other point to it existing then for miners to target their rigs. All the developers moved to other projects and they got left with this relic of old eth. And those miners just want to make profit and dump it on the markets, not to participate to anything meaningful.

sincerely, that's a red flag as you said

I found out that cryptodog owns a bag and is trying to shill it going up. I wonder how that account is up as it's clearly being used for market manipulation which is illegal. I guess when someone is subtle enough it doesn't count. Or at least the shiller thinks it doesn't count.

3298  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ethereum switch from PoW to PoS on: September 17, 2022, 09:24:25 AM
Imho for current use cases eth was valued too high anyway, but this doesn't mean it would be in the future.

So is this purely value speculation or are you saying that this is a bad thing or coin should be only valued by the cost for mining it? Regardless for the actual use case and game theory of utilizing the tokenimics for it?

Are you taking into account their whole gaming theory of their tokenomics, EIP-1559 and incentivizing stakers not to sell but accumulate their stack? I mean you are comparing it wo something completely different in the first place.

Comparing ETH to BTC is kinda pointless and BTC probably will end up getting banned after it hits $100k for the same exact reason you are saying it has store of value, and that reason is PoW.

And before you say that it can't be banned and throw in talks from Antonopoulos or any other libertarian talk assuming governments can't fight it or about the decentralized nature of it then sure, you can mine it forever with your laptop and p2p trade it with people. But CEXes can, and without CEXes the, lack of liquidity itself would drop harder then ever, and you will go back to P2P trading.

And lets say by some miracle it stays alive and liquidity against other cryptos would be stilll good and there would be a good technique to DeX it to other cryptos. FATF travel rule and other AML regulations would make sure that these old money washing techniques will be irrelevant and game left for very few people who can play the system.

And if you are hoping that CEXes would fight regulators: https://twitter.com/paddi_hansen/status/1569973440496410625

So good luck for people with that store of value there.
3299  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Safari Swap-Earn 500% APY by Staking on: September 16, 2022, 05:02:44 AM
My favorite part is :
Earn 500% APY by Staking
and
Get high retrns of up to 10x on your investment.


Is this rtue or lie?

When you are getting 500% more tokens in a year, you aren't "staking" in a sense it would make sense. It's just an incentive not to sell because toin loses value if it doesn't stake with a growing supply, so it won't most likely be listed in any cex that won't agree to pay the staked value.


Get high retrns of up to 10x on your investment.[/b][/b]

This is just a lie, made up nmber and highly illegal for any legit project to claim something like this and obviously all of this is a HUGE red flag.

Bitcoin is not against governments, governments themselves see it as a threat to their power and they are always looking for ways to eliminate it. I do not deny that bitcoin mining consumes energy and contributes to environmental pollution, but tell me, is there any industry in the world that doesn't consume energy and emit waste, heavy industries, metallurgical industry, manufacturing...Even if you use your computer for work, your phone consumes energy every day. The use of energy is inevitable, as long as it creates value, benefits for the economy, there is nothing wrong.

And that waste is going to be limited too soon. They are already shutting down some advertisement light boards at night in here. Problem here is that PoW could be pointless way to prove anything after PoS takes over the markets.

If there would be a solution to make some real life industry that consumes ton of energy (let's say aeroplanes) to consume only fraction of that energy, it would be soon mandatory to use that solution.

About bitcoin being threat to governments... Not as big of a threat people think. They can easily shut down all cex:es trying to use it if they would want. P2P trading against fiat money after that would be a fraction of the volume. Era of using pseudonymous accounts to shield against regulators is over.

This is what's happening next -> https://twitter.com/paddi_hansen/status/1569973440496410625
