361  Other / Politics & Society / Re: USA Bans the right to abortion on: June 27, 2022, 08:40:57 PM
Abortion is almost similar to killing an ingrown infant because as from the knowledge I have the process is something like taking the baby into pieces which we call it as an abortion, anyway women have the rights to decide what they can but I don't know whether its okay for us to take a baby into pieces? Probably we should need more advancement to abort the child which isn't that much brutal as of now.
Or maybe keep it legal till 5 weeks of pregnancy, and illegal thereafter(except for when the mother's life is in danger). That's when a fetus develops a heartbeat. In my country it's 20 weeks, which is sickening.

I came here after watching this pic on Reddit. If she's pro-life, then she makes a very compelling argument.

BlackHatCoiner simply wanted to say you do not lose your key. In your case it seems there are many other things to prove yourself but many cases there will not be. So without signing address it's hard to know who the real owner is.
Yes, BlackHatCoiner were nothing but vigilant.

All of my SNS accounts(all secured with 2fa) are connected with this account. Even Facebook, if someone digs deep enough. It's still no excuse for having lax security on my end. I will try to recover my wallet and secure this account with PGP key too in the future.

No offense, but you should have thought of this before. We can't know if you really have lost access to your wallet or if you're an impersonator who ultimately says the truth, that is to say you have no access to it.

365  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Blockchain.com issue on: June 27, 2022, 05:01:22 PM
Better not to use blockchain.com wallet, use an open source and reputed wallet like Electrum.

If that transaction is from your wallet, it means your wallet is compromised.

lol, that isn't even my address.
I have been using Maestro75's address ever since
I remember copy-pasting the address from my betfury post when I applied on some other campaign. Looks like I copied Maestro75's in the process and not mine. Luckily I received nothing on it.
No surprise that address kept on receiving campaign money, even though I left it a long time ago.


Here's my real broke address of that walelt https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/bc1qp0f85yu60yl0vp7x24a2un6vjjlg8wpzu9dz6y

This is some Lock, Stock and two smoking barrel(the shootout in the end ofc) scenario lol

My walet is safe, definitely some pairing problem.

Edit: I am dumb. I never used Maestro75's address. I have the wrong address in my post lol

Before somebody puts their tinfoil hat on, this is how I landed on the wrong address while creating this post

My history: https://imgur.com/a/9YszCkY
Explanation: I searched for my address on google, and opened the first link to check transactions. But guess what, the first search result isn't my address  Smiley

Ignore the striked-out part of my post.
366  Economy / Web Wallets / Blockchain.com issue on: June 27, 2022, 04:33:11 PM
Hey everyone,

I have been using a blockchain wallet for a long time(almost 8 years now). Lately, I have been accessing the wallet on my andriod phone. But yesterday my phone's charging port malfunctioned and it has been shut ever since.

So I tried to access my blockchain.com wallet(since I am going to receive wasabi sig payment on it soon), and I can't go beyond the password stage. I am 1000% sure that my password is correct and it shows no error message. Nothing at all. When I click on "Login" after entering my password, it transitions into a loading button for a few seconds then changes back into an active login button again. There's no other change on the login page.

I tried logging into blockchain app on my backup phone(which I have been using after my primary phone went dead). On it, I am taken to a recovery page after entering my password. Either I have to provide my 12-code security key or reset my wallet. It's a 8 year old wallet, I don't even remember where I kept my recovery code lol
I am booting my childhood PC(after I fix it), maybe it has the keys. Maybe it doesn't.

According to blockchain's mail, my wallet was Last Accessed on Mon, June 13, 2022(which is true, and that was probably me. Can't be sure).


And there's an active transaction on my address, which happened today
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/bc1qcfr52tdsj0wz4jxza9pg0sx3epn5nce4get3jf?page=1

I am also receiving deposits of $40, which I think are from betfury sig campaign. Even though I left that campaign. I will obviously pay them back if it's from them. Whether or not I am able to recover my wallet.

Edit : There's no transaction on my address. I have been checking someone else's address. Don't know how landed on it, checking my history  Lips sealed

Is my wallet compromised? if it's compromised then how come there's still some balance on it.
Or is it some pairing problem? Has anyone experienced this before? If yes, then do you think I will be able to access my wallet on the primary phone once it gets fixed(couple of days)?

My wallet also contains my staked address  Sad  1edgym1sR5wLyhiziT8nk5spF1MUWAJcA


367  Economy / Economics / Re: Crashes are The Best Times to Get Rich - Robert Kiyosaki on: June 26, 2022, 11:54:23 PM
When cryptos(& stocks) are dropping and fear is rampant, there are often great opportunities for those who are able to see beyond the gloom and doom.
Obviously, no one knows for sure when the best time to get rich would be, but crashes could present such opportunities. Simply because asset prices are often reduced to a level that is much more affordable. This is could be an opportunity to purchase high-quality assets at a discount  Wink It does come with added risk tho

Some people prefer to invest during times of stability and growth whilst some are risk-takers. Robert sure seems to be the latter one.
368  Economy / Economics / Re: Economy is so down that only way to save markets stock market also is on: June 26, 2022, 11:19:59 PM
It was hard going through your post. I got most of your point but I am left confused.

Do you believe that the elites want the war to happen and spend their time in a safe haven by making a profit on it? or do they want to prevent it and just sell the idea of war?

War is huge for the economy, that's true. It reminds me of Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045, it's an anime based on this very idea  Smiley There's an AI-driven war, created by the US after a global financial crisis. Since a war can provide the required stimulus to production and employment.

maybe you wrote this post after watching this anime lol
369  Economy / Speculation / Re: How do we spot the crypto bottom? on: June 26, 2022, 11:03:45 PM
I agree with you OP
Crypto is coupled with the global economy. And if the global economy continues to deteriorate, so will crypto. Unless, somehow everyone pulls their money from the stock market, to invest in crypto. Which is very unlikely.

As long as everyone stays positive, the market will too. In trading terms, most of the world has to go "long" on the future  Cheesy
Hopefully most people will see the current market as an "opportunity" instead of shorting it.

It's impossible to be certain tho.
370  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Talks of soft crypto regulations on: June 26, 2022, 10:55:05 PM
Hancock's idea of 'liberal' cryptocurrency regulation is very one-sided. It could end up hurting investors more than helping the industry.  Regulation should be in place to protect investors, but he wants to prioritize the industry instead. Isn't this what happened during the dot cum bubble? Companies had too much freedom  Smiley
He's contradicting himself, with no clear vision and understanding. Expected from a politician tho. You know it's a dumb politician if his lips are moving.
371  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: The real question is can PoW survive and the answer is NO. on: June 26, 2022, 10:40:14 PM
Another short question, if PoS is so unstoppable, so where is luna now? How many times was solana down already? What if your hypothetical energy doomsday  brings down cloud severs and 65% of Ethereums nodes?

If PoW is so unstopable , where are your new coins using it?
Maybe because the creators don't want the coin to be decentralized? FYI, most of the crypto ventures are infested with scummy people.

And what is your plan again to stop the future PoW mining bans, since you claim to know more than the majority of crypto developers.
Mining bans happen in authoritarian states. Not in civilized countries with sensible people in government that knows about carbon taxation :p The problem isn't with the "use", it's about how you "source" your energy. Banning xyz, isn't an answer to climate change.

bros, I hope you all are as shocked as I am.

This was the woooooorse day for CS:GO betting. Furia losing to 9z? Again? And they literally threw the second map for nothing. I guess nobody cares about online tourneys.

I'm still pretty much locked in on the Roobet Cup, There are a couple of decider matches today; I've got the favorites to win on parlay and also a 2:1 win for all favorites as well, I'm not expecting much of any upset today, but we'll see what theatrics these dudes behind their keyboards got for us today  Grin

https://i.imgur.com/lhIxTX5.png
Sucks bro, but you are still ahead on the roobet promo :p Maybe that will compensate this loss/


Heh, FURIA found their kryptonite, and Mouz losing to the turkish super team, i kinda derserve it for expecting the likes of Dexter and JDC to play good CS (never happened  Tongue )

anyway, let's hope the playoffs treat us better

i'll stay away from BIG - Eternal Fire, 50/50 game imo, would rather go with over maps in the next series, let' see if 9z can go the distance against Cloud9
-dexter soon
Frozen,bymas and torzsi are a solid trio. They should poach the IGL from mouz NXT already.
373  Economy / Economics / Re: UK inflation hits new high of 9.1% as food and energy price surge persists on: June 26, 2022, 09:59:34 PM
I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. Inflation is only up 9.1%, and that's just in line with expectations. Sure, housing and household services, primarily electricity, gas, and other fuels are causing the largest upward contributions to the inflation rate, but that's to be expected(thanks to corona and Russia :p).

After all, we need to keep our economy moving, and that costs money. The survey about "four in five people" is a little misleading. It's not like anyone is actually going to go without food or energy. They may have to tighten their belts a bit, but in the end, they'll just have to pay up. This is the price of living in a developed country.
There's no possible way that such inflation is normal, if you see such increases normal, then you must be pretty well-off to not be bothered by it. A small percentage of inflation (1%-2%) is considered healthy for the economy, the current situation isn't, it's putting a huge burden on households and the economy itself. The higher prices are unlikely to ever return to previous levels, reducing our available income, while our salary has hardly increased since the whole situation started.

How is that considered normal or healthy?
It's normal because it's within the expectations. Don't forget what Corona did to the supply chain, it's more screwed than a 10 pound whore behind MaccyD. Then Russia happened  Cheesy Goods and serices will be infalted for a while.

Other aspects of UK economy are doing pretty well, the GDP is growing, unemployment is low and the stock market is performing fairly well(check FTSE 100).

How is the average citizen benefit from it, though? While I get your point of view, I'm only seeing an increased living cost for citizens, some of which are not able to afford and adapt to the higher costs. Inflation in Greece is currently at 11.3%, is that also considered within the expectations, when we're forced to pay over 10-15% over what we used to, without having an substantial increase in our salary to back it up?
He benefits from a stable economy. Inflation makes people spend more money, which oils the cogs and gears the economy towards a healthy road.

Yes, at the moment wages don't match the prices. But in the future, they will rise too. If we don't increase the price, then its production won't be beneficial. Businesses will shut down, factories will close, jobs will vanish, unemployment will rise and within a few months we might even have mad max scenarion IRL  Grin

374  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin can fight inflation? on: June 26, 2022, 09:50:02 PM
The article in your post is garbage(no offense to you ofc). It tries to convince us that Bitcoin is a good investment to mitigate inflation, but it doesn't talk about its volatility even once.

Why isn't it a good investment?? It's probably the best investment right now if you can wait to be able to see the true value of it! Right now maybe it's not perfect to mitigate inflation just because you can't use it widely in a daily basis for the most common purchases, etc but in due time it will be. Otherwise, yes, it could help with the inflation problem if we had a parallel economy based on Bitcoin.
It can be a good investment, but there's an equal chance of your investment becoming bad, real quick. There's one thing for definite tho, when there's a stress on the global economy then Bitcoin crumbles too.

Check this pic: https://i.imgur.com/gpw2p5C.png
We have big institutions(mostly hedge funds) in crypto now, and bitcoin has become just another risk on asset.

It can be a good investment, iff bull market follows your purchase(or an overall booming ecnonomy). But during the time of recession, when inflation is high, it's anything but a good investment.
375  Economy / Reputation / Re: Should we not get negative feedback for expressing our views? How about me? on: June 26, 2022, 12:24:43 AM
@edgycorner, don’t worry about me wasting my life on this, I am not spending my life on this forum like many others do and this has nothing to do with this subject. Don’t waste your time here as you’re saying because you’re bringing nothing to the discussion.
And congratulations you’ve been merited by the liar and thief @examplens and the scam promoter @stalker22.

As far as my case against the liar @examplens goes, I contacted Cyrus a week ago to expose his lies but no answer. I’ll be contacting thymos. I hope not all admins here are on this as well. I’m sure they can verify he is lying.
Look, even after all this drama, I still would have supported you if FJ had canceled all of your bets. But they did pay you according to the terms. And you got the staked amount back for those canceled bets.

Don't be so paranoid. This paranoia is clouding your judgment. You are suspicious of everyone and probably misinterpreting events thus making bad decisions.

Don't expect any reply from Theymos either. Admins rarely get involved in such cases.

As for your tag, suchmoon should at least change it to neutral.
I am not sure about why/how you got your first tag, so can't say anything about it.
376  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: What is the drawback of PoS ? on: June 25, 2022, 11:58:00 PM
Yes but this was in the early days.
I am assuming a mature system here like a system with a market cap of a trillion. It is not likely that one entity would control half of that, right?
No coin has a trillion market cap. Even bitcoin is at 400B, followed by ETH at 150B and then rest of the shitcoins below 100B

Usually, you just have to gain 50% of the staked coins to disrupt the network. Due to how most of the models work, people stake in groups (or pools). This is where centralization comes.
377  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: What is the drawback of PoS ? on: June 25, 2022, 10:47:25 PM
The difference is that with PoS, it is possible for a single entity to control a large percentage of the total supply of tokens, which would give them a lot of voting power. Which is much easier, compared to having control over all the hashing power(or even 50%). Given where we are now, it would require laaaaaarge amount of hardware.

it can still be prevented tho(gaming the system in pos), like Ethereum is using Casper FFG

Yeah but who is to say that it is easy for a single entity to gain control over a large amount of tokens? I don't quite see that. I actually dont think it is realistic for a single entity to control more than 50% of the currency supply in a large network. We even don't have that in the Fiat world.


Look, it depends on how you implement PoS.
If you are staking with coins, then whoever owns 51% of the STAKED coins controls the majority and can disrupt the chain.

ETH counters this with casper ffg and other consensus protocols. In short, all the bad actors will get their ETH slashes(or deleted) until they no longer have the majority  Wink
ETH PoS still has some downsides to it, interested to know? (Hint: read the previous line again. That could happen to someone who wasn't a bad actor but was staking on a faulty client which got exploited :p yea, you will lose your ETH if you are staking on a buggy client if it's used by most people)
378  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Most of us have lived a world of USD dominance, but history changes on: June 25, 2022, 10:22:46 PM
Naa, Bitcoin can never be a world currency. Due to one simple fact: It's backed by nothing.
What do you think the dollar is backed by?
The US government and its economy(largest economy on god's green earth  Wink )

US dollar has the same characteristic and value, which gold had after World War 2(when everyone was broke, and all the currency had to be backed by gold). Hard to counterfeit, fungible,verifiable, etc
A more apt version of gold in this modern era
