Meanwhile, Russia took Rabotino, reversing the main success of last year's Ukrainian counteroffensive. In general, Russia is successfully advancing along almost the entire front line. Ukraine cannot stop the breakthrough in Ocheretino; it seems that Syrsky has run out of combat-ready reserves.



Too many of frog jumps in just two sentences. Robotine does not seem to be under Ruzzian control in the most trusted maps. I think that at least the southern part has changed hands three or four times. I am not saying it cannot happen, it all depends on the supplies arriving on time, but not yet.

On Ocheretino, the problem is not "reserves" is more about munitions & supplies, which eventually will arrive. Obviously, it is not good news to loose a few villages, but there are many failed (spectacularly failed) attacks along the frontlines with huge costs to the Ruzzian stockpile of vehicles. Very expensive real state you are buying.

Anyway, I can see that in the map Ruzzia has the initiative, but as you zoom out and see the strategic level... it is a completely different story.

BTW do you consider a war crime to bomb a school in Odessa and use cluster munition in civil Odessa and damage several dams in the dnipro? I do not know about you, but do not think this is not being documented.

he estado pensando sobre el tema y hay algo que me hace ruido.

¿Quieres pasar el bitcoin a cash para tener liquidez o quieres pasar el bitcoin a cash para evitar perder en el siguiente desplome del precio?

Si la idea es convertirlo para evitar perdidas en el reajuste de mercado entonces podrías plantearte el pasarlo a una moneda estable como USDT. Y si por otro lado lo que buscas es liquidez, entonces podrías plantearte la opción de comprar oro directo con bitcoin. El oro sigue siendo algo fácil de vender.

Quiero pasar a cash una cantidad de bitcoin en un futuro (pocos años). La mayor parte es comprado y esta a la vista del fisco. Una parte menor viene de aqui del foro y no esta declarada.

Sigue existiendo localbitcoins? No me importa sacar la parte no declarada muy poco a poco. Es por la parte si declarada por la que quiero ir al lugar donde menos me cobren por convertirlo a cash para usos varios legitimos.

No me importaria ir a algun pais por ahi, preferible Europa a vivir un anio fiscal.

Newbies in gambling should learn first about what it entails to gamble, this will help them towards having a desiring focus towards how they can be able to enjoy gambling without having other kind of experience beyond what they have expected to see, gamblers should know that gambling is for fun, understanding that alone is a profit on them,  because they won't have a lost priority on it right from the approach given when they newly started.

It is something that can only be learnt by experiencing it because the feelings, good or bad sometimes, that are experienced by the gambling player are quite unique and these do not affect everyone in the same way. A social gambler is something completely different from a pro Poker player. The average gambler does not exist, so the only advice is to make sure you start with small bets before going big.

I saw this video today (it is a bit nasty, so see it at your risk). Ukraine has clearly shown they do have ATACAMS, and they can use them very effectively even in areas that are supposedly behind the Ruzzian air defence umbrella. The effect on any airfield, any training camp or in any other concentration of "soft targets" is devastating. Hundreds of men or a handfull of planes can be blow-up on sight with a single strike.

To note, Ukraine spent 4 missiles to do the job of one. I think they expected at least some interceptions by the Ruzzian air defence that simply did not happen.

. I see this as a warning on the dangers of greedy agents in physical gambling platforms.
Its sadden that land based sport betting sites agents will continue to give a bad reputation to land base gambling companies who without delay had always paid customers their won cash immediately their bet ticket is approved. However these pattern of scam is not peculiar to land based casinos or sport betting shops alone but similar to online gambling sites too.

For me I think as long as traditional casinos can operate on daily basis and make bi players play on their edge, then they could still last. I believe the lesson in here is to really, only play with reliable casinos where they have verified payouts from their previous participants. In terms of online gambling, be aware of hidden rules and the activeness of customer service for any problem. And for traditional casinos, my biggest concern was always been my security. There's no point if I won a lot but I can't et out alive right? Grin
What are you trying to imply by saying you not get out alive winning a lot of money in traditional casino? I don't subscribe to that thought and that's because I have known and heard about people that won millions using traditional casino's or sports bet and are walking on the street living their everyday life after collecting the money.

I know one of the reasons some gamblers fail to use traditional casino's to use online is because of the fear of their security when they will large amount of money and it's then it goes public throughout the casino and it's environs. If you're one of such persons then you don't have to worry as you can always negotiate with the  casino management to keep you anonymous  without a third party knowing the identity of the winner.
Some establishments may require that if a huge amount is exceeded, they can name the player’s first and last name in order to provide themselves with greater advertising and show that this is a real player, and not just an anonymous one. By the way, this is probably what they do in lotteries. In poker, for example, we will not be able to maintain anonymity because large bets can be shown online and the faces of many will be visible, as well as the winner, if he is not covered with a mask all the time. I wonder if it’s possible to come to the casino with a mask, but I think that the bouncers will throw us out into the courtyard and laugh, because the player will look like a robber  Grin

I do not see why they have to apply a rule so selectively. The way that money laundering schemes use is not to put everything in the same virtual account, but rather spread it across many small transactions that fly under the taxman's radar. Activating such a measure just because the player is doing well is more of a way of scamming or looking for a excuse to not pay.

Donald Trump may say that he does not plan to push for a national abortion ban, but Kamala Harris told voters in Florida that they should not believe him.

This is a warning of what is to come for all women in the US. Your body will no longer be yours, Trump and the Christian radicals will own it and force you to have children whether you want it or not. Even if someone rapes you, you will not be able to take a bus north to a democrat state to avoid having that children.

Think carefully about what you want for you and your daughters - this ends up with them finding an illegal abortion clinic trying to scratch their uterus and probably leaving them without any possibility of having children in the future. You are in time to stop the madness.

the prosecution in the Trump trial got what they wanted from former American Media CEO David Pecker this week — a concession that the hush money payments he made on behalf of Trump were done in order to help Donald Trump’s campaign for president.

Quote
All were direct torpedo hits to the defense’s opening statement Monday, in which Trump lawyer Todd Blanche argued that any and all hush money payments were to keep negative stories from reaching Trump’s family’s eyes,

How do you defend someone who has so obviously done the stuff he is accused of? Like kids... using your imagination! However reality catches up:

Quote
it’s the only case that will conclude before the presidential election. If the pressure wasn’t ratcheted all the way up before, it certainly is now.

In the hearing about granting Trump inmunity from anything (absolutely anything) done during the presidency:

Quote
two justices, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, who appeared to fully accept Trump’s claims of presidential immunity
[...]
Alito went so far as to put forward the argument that not granting full presidential immunity from prosecution would in fact make the president more likely to commit crimes in an attempt to stay in office.

Incredible argument coming from a judge! Is like saying that holding a bank robber responsible is likely to end with the guy killing a police to not be caught, so better not to do anything about it! If you think of it, is quite the opposite, a President knowing that is immune from anything could, for example, order the killing of any opposition. Gates open for a Tyrant.

But alas, this is the type of judges that the Republicans put in the Supreme Court. But of course, there is a strategy behind this orchestrated delay of "sending back to lower courts".

Quote
Even if the Court doesn’t entirely endorse Trump’s insistence that he’s fully immune, sending the case back down to a lower court would end any hope that prosecutors had to bring it before the election.

Quote
if he wins in November, the decision would for all intents and purposes stop him from being prosecuted for his attempts to overturn the outcome of the 2020 election at all, given that he would be able to shut down the work of the special counsel as president

My guess is that most of the judges would very much like to say that Trump is not immune from crimes done for his own benefit, but many of them are good dogs and some scared dogs. They would rather delay the issue until it is dismissed.

I didn't understand why the government in the UK didn't put QR codes on the new plastic notes they issued recently. That would allow for a certain amount of tracking, as supermarkets use facial recognition on the tills that accept cash. Pushing it out of the banking system is just going to make  the situation worse for them.

How do you know they are using facial recognition? That is pretty much illegal and against the data protection law in the UK. You cannot tie the name and personal information of anyone without authorisation.

RE your question, as far as I know, you can withdraw cash from your bank. If it exceeds a certain amount they will make a few questions or may request that you tell them in advance, but if you got it, you can have it.

I think the agent wanted to steal the entire money but due to the pressure from the court, he has to return part of it. I see this as a warning on the dangers of greedy agents in physical gambling platforms.

Source: https://twitter.com/General_Oluchi/status/1782027404027797716

There's probably a syndicate behind this and also an anomaly, if the court has seen all the pieces of evidence and the bettor proved that he is the real winner then all winnings should go to him, the proof of the burden should be on the gambling operator that the money was already withdrawn by someone else, the court is wrong here to find people who withdraw the money.

The head office should hold the branch operator liable for not paying the winner because they will lose the reputation of the company and the trust of the bettors.

This has never happened in my country because if it's a big amount the payor is the head office, the victim should pursue the case in the higher court and ask them to revoke the license of the branch and pay for the damages, there's injustice here, bettors should not bet on this shop and they should protest the shop, this could happen again to any of their bettors.


I can see the corruption here as even the authorities or the court made a decision in favor of the betting agent. As stated in the OP, the winner got the ticket, and that should be a valid basis that he had won a bet and had to claim the entire winning. If someone had already claim then the lapses should be blame on the agent and it should not compromise the winning of the real winner. Not sure what is the court structure in Nigeria, but if it's in my country, when you are not satisfied with the decision of the certain court, you can file a case again and elevate it to the higher court, and the winner has to make sure that he'll add to his claim all the incident cost like filing a case, lawyer's fee and etc, so he'll come up with zero expenses when he'll be able to claim his entire winning.

Curruption can be low tech or high tec really, you can steal by going after the local shops - something as old as humanity itself... pay for protection and all that. However,  there is also similar ways of going after the technological on-line business in many states that hold that type of power. It requires a more systematic organisation, but it is certainly a possibility.

Edit for an update: Several ATACAMS strikes have taken place in Crimea. It seems that they can perfectly skip the air defence.




I disagree and you do not have any believable source. The systems are not Ukrainian and every nation has the right to operate their own equipment in their territory and in international airspace. They are also free to use the intelligence gathered as they see fit.

But enough of silly stuff, my guess is that such integration is going towards creating a balanced if not Ukrainian superior sky in the frontlines. Air defences, F-16s that should be soon arriving will be able to see and target with a minutes time with integrated systems.



https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2024/04/25/european-trained-ukrainian-f-16-pilots-will-not-be-ready-until-late-2024_6669456_4.html

Whole "F16 training" is a sham, ask any experienced pilot. Training program serves as a cover for a fact
that planes will be operated by western pilots

Regarding the date, yes it is well know, they are not going to put their beloved f16 out there with the hours of  training of, for example, a Ruzzian pilot. I guess that after pilots with experience in F29 get one year of training in F-16 you are going to argue that now they are "western pilots"??

On your second statement... as usual, no credible source. I will give you one:

https://www.twz.com/this-is-how-long-it-would-really-take-ukraines-pilots-to-convert-to-f-16s

Quote
For experienced Ukrainian fighter pilots, a type conversion to the F-16 could resemble a typical FTU transition conversion course, known as TX.
Quote
“For a pilot with around 500 hours experience in a Western fighter, but that has never previously flown the F-16 — someone transitioning from the Hornet for example — without any breaks, working weekends, etc, they need 69 days to learn everything to safely employ the Viper in air-to-air and air-to-ground roles,”
Quote
“The answer initially would have to be based on building a new syllabus based on Ukraine’s specific needs and the threat scenario, and to then take that into combat would need anywhere between six and 12 months of training. It would still be risky, but that might outweigh the rewards.

Why would they wait for a year to field the f16 if they were going to use "western pilots"? They would say that it took 2 months of training and then send the f16 + "western pilots" with a few years of experience in the jet. It

Regarding the integration, I have seen recently a tablet / ipad attached to an Ukrainian cockpit with battlefield information. My guess is that this information is going to be integrated properly. This means pilots will have view of all detected threats and radars and be able to be more effective in suppressing the Ruzzian air defences or avoiding them.

If you look at my previous posts quoting strategies, it seems that Ukraine / US have finally come to the conclusion that there are no shortcuts, they have to wage war as it has be done: first weaken, then attack. The opposite does not work. The air strategy for Ukraine perfectly fits this narrative and the content of the aid package does also support it.

Again, I expect to see from Ukraine more attacks on refineries - even crude exporting facilities after the US elections, more attacks on air defence systems to start clearing the air for the f16s and the Ukrainian aviation being more effective while the Ruzzian aviation starts either being grounded or start taking big loses.

However this means much more that it looks at first. An integration of the air defence systems passed or existing in Ukraine with other NATO systems... what could this mean? Will the US AWACS and predators that are permanently observing the black sea and the frontlines be now integrated with Ukraine's air defence?

My guess is that NATO can perfectly spot any of the planes that are launching the FABs (probably Ukraine's unresolved issue at the front). Passing that information in real time and with accurate coordinates to Ukraine's ground to air systems may be the beginning of the end of the Ruzzian advantage.

They're already integrated, most of those systems are operated by foreign "advisers"

Recently in the case against Samourai Wallet the funders were arrested for money transmitting without a license and the wallet did not exchange bitcoin to fiat money, which means USA recognizes bitcoin as money. IMO something doesn't have to be literally called money by the government to be money. I'd say that bitcoin is money because it's being used as payment for goods and services and that's what money is. The problem is that in the last interpretation, the US gov. claimed that bitcoin is property. So which is it?

I don`t think that serious countries will accept BTC. They have their fiat money and it is enough for all purposes.
Taxes we get on the profit. And i don`t think that someone get a bill with BTC in it. No, we got taxes in fiat money. I don`t like it but it is correct - when you get any profit - you pay taxes.

Colorado accepts bitcoin for payments, allowing you to pay state tax in bitcoin. I'd say they're being pretty serious about it Wink


In the US there are always some states that tend to take the initiative, but that happens with everything, from social rights to pretty much the opposite. However the problem is that is has become quite unpredictable so it is ok to use the service, but base your company there or make significant decisions. It is the same in international politics, US swings too much.

Yes Ukraine has recently hit another refinery, not far from the front.

NATO has already deployed troops in Ukraine, but not for combat. As usual there are "advisors" meaning military intelligence officers, mainetenance & technical personnel, etc. It is not only Macron who is exremely angry at Putin for waging this stupid war.

There is zero chance of Ruzzia targeting any nuclear weapon as of now. It is just ridiculous. I guess deploying nukes in Poland would be a good response to the Ruzzian weapons in BealoruZZia.

Edited to add: Two main strikes actually, one a Refinery in Smolesnk (around 300 km from the border with Ukraine), but also in Krasnoyarskii (more than 500 km from dnipro), a depot of gliding bombs / gliding kits . It is evident that Ukraine knew what to hit. As more of a psy op, a helicopter was burned (and filmed while the sabotage was being carried out for proof) in an aerodrome in Moscow.

Both of these strikes are level God in difficulty, as they have to fly over the in theory protected territory where the Ruzzian army is.

The hush money case against Trump weaves a colorful narrative with a tabloid publisher suppressing torrid affairs for a businessman-turned-politician and a hush money scheme orchestrated by a now-disbarred lawyer to a porn star.

But Trump is charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records – so prosecutors have warned this will in many ways be a routine, document-heavy trial.

[...]

Banker Gary Farro testified to records that show Cohen changed course about two weeks later in October 2016 to instead open an account for another company – Essential Consultants – an entity ultimately used to pay Daniels in the hush money scheme to suppress her story about an alleged affair with Trump. (Trump has denied both alleged affairs.)


It is clear that this is not some short of casual spending or a simple scheme, it required the creation of opaque companies to get the money from A (the donations for a political campaign) to B, the account of a female porn professional that frequently calls Trump "tiny". As of now, the defence has failed to score any hit that might question the essence accusation.

The strategic planning of this war is known and now it is just a question of the US & Europe being able to execute the actions required. The "infinite" recruitment capacity of Ruzzia, its unlimited manpower are all myths. The frog needs unfortunately more boiling - this is part of the price to pay for all the time Ruzzia has ignored treaties - you cannot negotiate with such a bad faith in front.

Russian forces are likely to peak in late 2024, with increasing material challenges over the course of 2025.

[...]
 Russia faces significant limitations in the longevity and reliability of its industrial output. Of the tanks and other armoured fighting vehicles, for example, approximately 80% are not new production but are instead refurbished and modernised from Russian war stocks. The number of systems held in storage means that while Russia can maintain a consistent output through 2024, it will begin to find that vehicles require deeper refurbishment through 2025, and by 2026 it will have exhausted most of the available stocks.
[...]

Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) has assessed an industrial requirement to manufacture or source approximately 4 million 152mm and 1.6 million 122mm artillery shells in 2024. Russian industry has reported to the MoD that it expects to increase 152mm production from around 1 million rounds in 2023 to 1.3 million rounds over the course of 2024, and to only produce 800,000 122mm rounds over the same period. Moreover, the Russian MoD does not believe it can significantly raise production in subsequent years

[...]

Beyond 2026, attrition of systems will begin to materially degrade Russian combat power, while Russian industry could be disrupted sufficiently by that point, making Russia's prospects decline over time.

Lo que enfatizaba un tanto es en el "plano digital" como citaba, donde estas rarezas no son físicas sino lógicas, otorgadas en base a una asociación adicional que se le otorga al satoshi, sea por orden numeral u otra idea que conceptualmente pueda parecer relevante.
En realidad podríamos cuestionar lo mismo en el caso de los "NFT tradicionales". No me refiero aquí a los NFT basados en Ordinals, que sí tienen algo como un "valor añadido" por la seguridad que les da estar almacenados en una blockchain. Sino a los NFT tal como se popularizaron con Ethereum, que lo que contienen es un enlace a un sitio web donde se aloja una imagen, audio, mini-video etc.

Si somos sinceros de las imágenes que se venden como NFTs el 99% son de escaso valor artístico, es decir "solo por ser NFTs" tienen un valor muy superior al que tendría la misma obra (digital o analógica, si le restamos su "valor decorativo")  si no existiera esa moda. Habrá un par de casos de arte digital de alta calidad, en los que sí el valor se corresponde con su "valor artístico", a esos casos no me refiero porque tienen en común bastante con el mercado de arte "real", y el NFT sería una forma de asegurar la "propiedad" sobre el mismo. Tampoco a los DLCs de los videojuegos, en este caso se trata simplemente de otra forma de vender algo que le puede ser útil a los gamers.

Aparentemente eso significa que hay una especie de cambio de paradigma, que le confiere valor a algo por la rareza misma aún siendo digital.

Sin embargo, por las razones mencionadas en el último post el tema de las "convenciones" puede perjudicar al particular mercado de los "satoshis raros" en el futuro. Cualquiera podría inventar un sistema que compita con el "sistema de rarezas" de Casey. Creo que los valores "black" ya son un ataque a los valores originales: le confieren un valor superior también al último satoshi en el bloque, y no solamente al primero como en el sistema original. Ahora yo podría intentar vender el satoshi que está en el centro del bloque, que es igual de raro que el primero y el último. O empezar a contar los satoshis de manera diferente. Al final podríamos imaginar un sinnúmero de "rarezas" que multiplican la oferta ...

Esto me fastidia bastante. Parece gente intentando hacer no fungible algo que funciona porque es fungible. Por otra parte, a mi me da igual un sat que otro. Hay alguna manera en la que pueda vender algun sat raro q por casualidad haya llegado a mis manos en el pasado? Como funciona esto? Alguien tiene que certificar dicho satoshi para que se lo pueda vender al pirao de turno de este esquema piramidal?

He is not looking to kill it, he is trying to impose the DAME tax, DAME means Digital Asset Mining Energy, and the idea is to start with this tax from 10%, then 20% in the next year and 30% on the 3rd year.

So, the plan isn't to ban the mining, but with those huge taxes, no one will want to mine there. Is not a good business. But i don't think congress will let that tax come to live, and if it does, they will stop it before the 3rd year, because other way people will start creating illegal farms.

Yep, the "asset industry" is not at all the mining industry. It is being, as usual, made into a partisan thing and all that crap. My guess is that the news might lower the price of electricity by less than 1% if any??

I think it is contrary to a good practice to selectively tax a certain use of energy - like for example taxing selectively the land for cattle (cows) because these are harmful for the environment (should I say to a greater extent than bitcoin?) or you could tax the energy used in producing diesel or gasoline cars for the same reason...but my favourite would be to tax the energy consumption of VISA and Mastercard, including the one used to take the employees to the office, etc...

The CBECI estimates that global electricity usage associated with Bitcoin mining ranged from 67 TWh to 240 TWh in 2023, with a point estimate of 120 TWh. The International Energy Agency estimated global consumption of electricity during 2023 to have been 27,400 TWh.10 So, the CBECI estimates put electricity supporting Bitcoin mining in 2023 at about 0.2% to 0.9% of global demand for electricity

0.2% is quite a bit of energy to be honest.
