there, i fixed it for ya 😂🤣
What! I saw it was 21st but wrote 18th. I am getting old. 🤣
Well a correct score yesterday put me in 19th now. I am sure today I will get kicked out from top 20 LOL

I am still looking for tips to have a winning round. Come on guys, be generous 😉
A good round will bring me in top 10 and then another good round for top 5. I am happy.

Man Utd are an actual meme atm & long may it continue.
I gave up trusting utd two years ago.

Wrong. These guys are actually listening to our feedback and improving their site periodically though they need to stick to one thread as you mentioned above.
I did not notice it. I saw banners in the entire homepage and judged from it. It looked like all affiliate links on the site.
OP you need a better homepage. Statistically you have less than 10 seconds to convert a visitor into a reader who will be interested in your contents.

Btcgosu is better in comparison, but that doesn't imply that this site is underperforming. They aren't just displaying banners. Fully detailed reviews with pros and cons are available for various sites.
The example of Btcgosu were given to show the efforts. I am sure with enthusiasm this site could be a better one too.

your ANN thread is bad, you need to be more creative when creating an ANN thread
I would suggest buying a copper membership and post image to look the ann visual good.

You are really helpful and should be getting more merit than you have now. I just dumped all I had to this topic.
There are a lot to read and it's a new world for me. I never cared about fees and things.

If you're looking to trade 1:1, good luck.  I'd always recommend trying the Currency Exchange section on the forum, because there are always members looking to trade bitcoin for cash, though you have to know who you're dealing with and usually you never really do.  But 1:1 trades are definitely possible there.
Lately I am giving a thought about it. Let me see what my friend decides. Trading in the currency exchange section is a good idea.
3324  Economy / Gambling / Re: krypto-oddsen.com on: October 31, 2021, 06:51:00 PM
Trying to get attention about the topic you created.
At this point this will be considered as spamming. The update you made can be posted here as this seems your ANN thread.

In gambling board the rule is One thread per site ONLY

Goodluck, It is good that you shared your webste here as we can also share some opinions and experiences about the your listed sportsbook casinos.
It's just another affiliate site. I think BTCGOSO is doing better job and putting more efforts than having some banners in the home page.
3325  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Buying crypto in USA or canada on: October 31, 2021, 02:26:00 PM
Thanks brother.
Did you see the margin? 15% and above for USDT. Fees will eat up a large volume to be honest. I was looking at something where trade will be 1:1
3326  Economy / Reputation / Re: 1xBit campaign is starting again. on: October 31, 2021, 01:42:58 PM
I agree that's not perfect use of trust system. We simply don't have alternative effective ways how to deal with users who promote scams.
Scams are not moderated by the forum and unfortunately even if it's clear scams like Yobit and 1xBit. It's sad that our hands are not free.
On the other hand I do not think they care about the tag so sending out red tags do not do any change. Perhaps other campaign could count it but we always have choice of leaving what type of feedback we want to send.

I'm not even sure if their "honest" review campaign is still running.
It was a good joke after all.
3327  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: October 31, 2021, 01:30:44 PM
the real surprise is
I am positioning 18th in the table 🤣
Seriously please can anyone give me some tips to find a winning round. I am not doing anything right at the moment.

No one expected City will lose against Palace. Good for Liverpool and Chelsea. Liverpool could use this chance to make some good distance but boys were not up to the standard. We still need a lot of work to do. I was brave yesterday picked two draws but failed massively. No draw today.

By the way, I am not much hopeful with Utd. They had a good match yesterday but last few weeks they performed real bad.
3328  Economy / Exchanges / Buying crypto in USA or canada on: October 31, 2021, 01:16:57 PM
I have a friend in US wants to buy crypto regularly. He is looking at Bitcoin, and other established coins. Which exchange has the lowest fee and give 1:1 rate. Or please give me a good idea how to buy bitcoin easily in US without giving too much information.
3329  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Best practices for Bitcointalk escrow providers on: October 31, 2021, 01:10:17 PM
Let me rephrase the question. Let's assume a honest seller wants to sell collectible coins worth $50,000. Would a honest seller send them directly to the buyer after escrow gets paid, knowing he may not receive his payment if the buyer (who's relatively new to the forum) claims to have received an empty box?
No.
The best practice considering the amount risked in the trade. Escrow receive the coins from the buyer, escrow receive the delivery from seller, escrow post the delivery to buyer, escrow release the funds to the seller. Using this process escrow knows that the item was delivered to the person.

I think this flow should be followed even if the item worth $50 or less. Without the touch escrow do not know if the item truly delivered to the buyer.
3330  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Curious Question on: October 31, 2021, 12:45:38 PM
It seems that you can't have a non-HD multi-sig wallet in Electrum. In order to create/import one, you're forced to go on Multi-signature wallet which will then either ask you to enter a seed phrase or a master key.
I usually go with seed phrase for HD wallet. Never gave a try until yesterday with a single private key. Now it sounds like a lot of work to do with Electrum for a single private key.

Assuming the wallet is 2 of 2, two master private keys are needed.
Assuming the wallet is 2 of 3, two master private keys and one master public key are needed.
Consider x of y. You basically need x master private keys to send any coin from the wallet.
3331  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Curious Question on: October 30, 2021, 08:45:18 PM
Generally, the seed phrase isn't necessary at all. It's just an easy way to recover your funds. Once you sign a transaction, which is how you spend bitcoins, you don't use any seed phrases, but only the private key(s).
Electrum is crashing.
When I am trying with p2wsh: in Import Bitcoin addresses or private keys in the next screen I see the error. It is asking me to Send Bug Report but when I am trying without p2wsh: then I get a legacy address which is obviously not the multi-sig address I have.

I was trying in a multi-sig segwit wallet.

So how would I give the input that I need to recover p2wsh address?

What a horrible night for people who did bet on.
Good for me that I am not gambling from the last 6 or more months. If I was gambling than I would had a nightmare in this evening LOL

The only good thing out from this is Arsenal win at Leicester which can be considered somewhat of a surprise
Frustrating scenario: You had a pick of 0 - 2 win for Arsenal but half an hour before the kick off you thought the match could be a draw and you change it to 1 - 1. That's what I did 🤣

I was too optimistic with Liverpool. It was very early I have to admit LOL
Seriously, we had a good chance to get those 3 points but we messed up.
3333  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Best practices for Bitcointalk escrow providers on: October 30, 2021, 04:10:11 PM
The thing is that here the scammer has the mine trap setup and ready to blow. I doubt that there is anyone who would be able to notice it or think that the account was compromised and freeze the deal. Unfortunately, it might happen to anybody.
That's where all gone wrong. It was like the escrow was talking to the same person but it was not. The person behind the account was changed. This could happen to anybody.

I refuse to believe that, otherwise no trades can ever take place anymore. It is possible for an escrow to (learn from this and) impose escrow rules that can prevent this.
Whoever gone through this experience (by watching or being in discussion or just a quick read) I am pretty much confirm that from now on they will check account logs. I will ask from a bitcoin signed address for sure in every conversation especially when the time to make the trade.

When the terms are changed after money has been sent to the escrow address, the escrow agent needs to be sure that everyone is on the same page. MJ should have delayed releasing the money. This might be inconvenient for the parties involved, but it is the escrow agent's job to ensure a safe transaction.
I think I already said, nothing was alarming as the instructions were coming from the same account.

I can only imagine explaining everyone how to use multisig, as I bet that most of the people never even tried it with testnet let alone mainnet.
It is very easy to do. Try it with Electrum from the same device to get the idea. You do not need multiple device to create a practice wallet.

Optimistic as usual.

Hi new gaming project is looking for shillers.

Please leave your telegram account or DM
Shill to where?
In this forum? This will not be a good idea at all if you chose to do so. The community will eventually spot those users and mark them as spammer and with that your project will lose its value too. If you want real interested users then go for promotions like Signature campaign for the forum and bounty campaign for other platforms like Facebook etc.
3336  Economy / Reputation / Re: 1xBit campaign is starting again. on: October 29, 2021, 07:14:48 PM
I will be leaving neutral to all these accounts above.
Following up this. I have received PMs from users and for your information, I left a neutral tag only so please do not get much pressure from it. The neutral helps me to keep a track of those who have joined this campaign. Please do not give me excuse that you joined the campaign and you did not know 1XBit are scammers. This sounds really funny.

If most members followed my example, the effects of their campaigns would be almost nonexistent.
Those who will ignore these users already know that 1xBit are scammers and they are not going to be this scam company's customer.
3337  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum is going to reach $5k soon? on: October 29, 2021, 07:11:01 PM
Eth is making new ATH, after making a good correction like Bitcoin Eth is now moving to make new ATH. So what you are expecting about ETH ? Can it touch 5k USD this during upcoming week?
In the old days when BTC used to be under $1k and others were not even $10 but now look at the huge market for crypto. I used to have a good amount of ETH in the past and never thought we would see this price. 🤣
It's easy for ETH to reach $10k very soon. We are looking at $100K for BTC anyway.
3338  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: October 29, 2021, 07:01:17 PM
I think I lost my enthusiasm to make the picks for the week but I did it anyway. Gone for big with Liverpool and City. To be honest the pool is not working for me LOL. I can not believe I am in 18th position 🤣

Second place finish last season was great result and I also agree CL qualification should be their target this season, 4th position is the maximum they can get unless something totally unexpected strikes one of top 3 teams, City, Chelsea and LFC.
It's too early to predict but do you guys still think Liverpool is moving under the radar? I would say boys are exposing them too early LOL
3339  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Best practices for Bitcointalk escrow providers on: October 29, 2021, 06:52:23 PM
I'd say: "Rule One: Never change the deal."
Agree. We would not see these mess at the end.

If the delivery is in-person you don't need escrow.
True. But did not hit me until you stated it. Damn!

Quote
I disagree. It was MJ's responsibility to ensure a safe transaction and being a presumably experienced trader and escrow he should have been able to see the red flags. Granted we're looking at this with the benefit of hindsight but it's a lot of money to be so careless about.
Man! It's over $50k worth of deal. Yeah MJ should have done more to ensure that the deal goes smooth. It really is messed up.

Let's get back to the topic.
I would agree with LoyceV in this
Quote
This is what I would have expected:

    Buyer and seller provide payment and shipping details to escrow.
    If all agree on all terms, buyer pays escrow and seller sends product to escrow.
    Escrow verifies product.
    Escrow releases product and payment only if everything is okay.

Other than this, it's always very risky to perform an escrow service.
3340  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Best practices for Bitcointalk escrow providers on: October 29, 2021, 01:55:44 PM
Well it is the escrow's job to ensure the trade goes smoothly, and if it doesn't to see that the scammer does not end up with the money. That is what they are getting paid to do. If the escrow is not willing to do basic due diligence before releasing the money, I don't see the point of using them.

The amount in question in this case is $50k. I don't think it is unreasonable to use a little bit of care when dealing with that much of other people's money.
How would you care more when the same person (here same account) is telling you to make a change in the deal? If there was no hack involved we would not see the scam. The situation was real tricky and anyone would have been victim of it. MJ did not keep the money after all.
