361  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Why is bip 39 a very much reoccurring word in Bitcoin on: February 01, 2024, 11:24:36 PM
The proposal was created around 2013, and it standardized the way mnemonic phrases for deterministic wallets were generated and restored, instead of using those hard to remember long strings of characters like a private key for each of the addresses in an HD (hierarchical deterministic) wallet. As you have noticed these days, creating a noncustodial wallet rotates around mnemonic phrases or what most people call seeds. Wallets are necessary if you want to use the Bitcoin network. That's why bip39 is so much talked about.

Girona should win next game against Real Sociedad and wait for Real Madrid to drop points against Atletico Madrid to claim the first spot eventually.
With this recent Real Madrid form, I don't think the bitter rivals Atlético Madrid stand a chance. Yes, they may have eliminated Real Madrid from the Copa del Rey at the Wanda Metropolitano but at Real Madrid's backyard -  Santiago Bernabéu, the hosts will be looking to seek out serious revenge.



I know it's still early, but this La Liga trophy is Real Madrid's to lose.

It was rumoured that Mourinho will return to Barcelona especially after Xavi leaving the team but it appears that he wants to join Manchester United which still has Eric Ten Hag there. It is true Ten Hag position is under heavy threat after every game he plays, yet he didn't decide yet, nor Manchester United, to go separate ways. A humiliating defeat will just accelerate that process for Mourinho.
For the moment, Manchester United are leading with 3 goals to 1 against Wolverhampton United which is reassuring for now for them.
No way José Mourinho is ending up in Barcelona, let's be honest. A side from his style of football being completely different from Barcelona's DNA, he is somewhat adored by Los Blancos (I don't think he would want to betray them) on top of Barcelona being broke of late. His wages would be so heavy on them. I think they will look for another budding low tier coach like Xavi whom they will believe will help build up the young talent that is already there instead of demanding for new expensive signings.

Like I told this guy here. This thread is a complete waste of time. OP just rebroadcasts the transaction, which is not the same as accelerating them. if your fee rate is so low, your transaction will keep in the mempool. As we speak, his transaction has now been in the mempool for 2 months. Is that really helping?

Lol...since 4 days ago they have launched the signature campaign of this forum and are giving high amount rewards.  You don't seem to visit the service thread very often so you didn't find it. and you seem to be in a hurry to post. Because of which he commented here without doing any research.
Some of them just spam for the sake, without reading through the thread. I am not surprised by his reply. According to the feedback on his trust wall, the account is likely a hacked/bought account so there current person behind it is using it for obvious reasons

What if things do not turn out as he expected? What next? Will he be able to pay back the loan. There is a reason it's always emphasized to invest what you can afford to lose. People have lost their lifetime savings because they think crypto is just going to skyrocket nonstop, and they then they become millionaires... Well, this is always the case. If it was that easy, we would all be rich traders Wink
I am not trying top sound negative, but I want your friend to also look at it from a different perspective. If he is well-prepared of the risk and can afford it after two years, then well and good.

Also, it's crazy to think that a shady site like 1xbet partnered with FC freaking Barcelona which is news to me.
Not just Barcelona, they even had a partnership with Seria A as well. I watch La Liga matches very often, and I always see Melbet being advertised on the stadium billboards. Isn't melbet also a proven scam and one of the sister sites to 1xbit/1xbet? Yes, it is, but it seems to me that the scammers mastered the art of persuading even top leagues and clubs with money.
These actors really give crypto a very bad name.

The casino is probably a scam

We have another case of a user waiting for over 6 months now, and they have never responded to him again. Here is a scam accusation he open against them - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5465252.0

You could also do the same and open up a fresh scam accusation about their scam scheme using a similar format so that we can let the internet and gambling word more aware of this scam casino.

370  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: Buying a miner from Bitmain -- worth the hassle? on: January 28, 2024, 10:55:24 PM
Depends on how you look at it and how passionate you are towards mining. If you are willing to go for the long term play, then buying the miners shouldn't be a problem, as you have all the time and patience. With all other factors such as changes in the total network hash rate over time, nicehash fee estimations won't give you a clear picture on when you think you might break even.
Buying bitcoin on the other hand doesn't involve much hassle, except just hoping it pumps in the next 1 or 2 years, and you take profit.
371  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: Is bitmain.us.com a trustworthy retailer? on: January 28, 2024, 10:46:58 PM
The site is fraudulent. Avoid it. It even appears in their blog's list of fraudulent sites impersonating Bitmain.com
Check it out - Statement Regarding Fraudulent Websites

The only official shop link is shop.bitmain.com

Please remember:

1.   We do not have any official distributor or reseller anywhere

We receive various queries about whether X or Y is an “official distributor” or “official partner” of Bitmain’s products simply because X or Y claims to be an “official distributor” or “official partner” of Bitmain. We have no official representatives or distributors in any country. This brings us to the following point.

2.   We only sell on bitmain.com

Even if a Bitmain executive wanted to order an Antminer, he or she has to place the order on shop.bitmain.com. There is no other way of ordering hardware from Bitmain. We will never send you an invoice on Skype or using a Gmail email address, both of which have been used by impostors to scam Antminer buyers before.

We have previously sold certain hardware models on www.newegg.com and, if we do so again, we will announce it on our official Twitter and Facebook account.

Maybe you should direct the questions to the GitHub support instead of here... don't you think?

The website is fairly new (Registered On: 2024-01-14) and there is zero proof that they are selling illegal stuff. Perhaps that's why they are reluctant to take it down. I mean, just look at their homepage. I am seeing just test product, $10.

Eranet International Limited [ https://www.eranet.com ] is their domain registrar. Maybe try reporting to them.

Do P2P trading. There are some few platforms that you can use depending on whether you care about KYC or not. I don't know which country you are from but try to look into the likes of agoradesk.com, hodlhodl.com etc and search up traders in your locality.
Local bank transfer between two individuals is pretty easy and fast. In my locality, transfer of 42K would even be a problem between local banks.

I haven’t seen what happened in the Barcelona-Villarreal game yet, it seems the refereeing was problematic there again, but in any case, 5 goals at the Camp Nou? What? Barcelona has officially been dethroned, now there is only a fight for the top 4.
Technically they are not in their "beloved home ground" as it's still under renovation, so the place is Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. That's why they're getting battered home and away by different teams without any fear.

The recent scorelines really show how they have completely lost that fear factor.

Xavi Hernández: "I want to announce that on June 30 I will no longer continue as the coach at Barça. I think the situation needs to change course, and as a culer, I cannot allow the current situation."
Well, that was bound to happen. I still remember how some Barcelona fans were just daydreamers thinking that Xavi would just turn thing around and bring another tiki taka era to the Catalans  Cheesy

Can a gambler uses VPN to access your site? Even if he/she is not on the list of restricted countries?
Why would you want to use a VPN if you are not from a restricted country?

What if the gambler is under those countries and then uses VPN? Will the gambler be automatically banned if found or you will allow them to play?
According to their terms, they don't want usage of VPNs and they also don't want anybody from the restricted countries to use their platform
This is what clause 2.1 of their terms says

2.1. It is a Player’s responsibility to ensure that their Participation is lawful in their jurisdiction. Any person who is knowingly in breach of clause 2., including any attempt to circumvent this restriction, for example, by using a VPN, proxy or similar service that masks or manipulates the identification of your real location, or by otherwise providing false or misleading information regarding your location or place of residence, or by Participating through a third party or on behalf of a third party located in a jurisdiction where it is unlawful to Participate, is in breach of these Terms and Conditions. You may be committing fraud and may be subject to criminal prosecution.

I do hope you are aware of the risks involved when investing in crypto or any other digital assets and thus why they always emphasize that you should invest what you can afford to lose so that should anything go wrong, you won't end up in a rock bottom and depressing situation.

It would be preferable that your other interested family members also decided to invest on their own and not make you the custodian of their money. Money breeds enmity even among family members as you grow. If things don't work out, you will be in a tight spot. It's better you just guide them through, and they also do the fishing for themselves.

What a joker  Grin

Flag supported

There are just few boards like trading discussion and marketplace and their child boards that users trusts can easy be seen summarized in numbers, unless you click on the the users trust on his profile, but I think a flag can be seen everywhere. So this is a good idea. I added another negative trust and also support your flag. Supporting the flag will let people easily know that the user must not be trusted.
So the same thing happens to trust flags too. They don't appear in certain boards where the trust ratings are disabled, like Project development, Bitcoin discussion board. I don't know the main reason as to why admin disabled them in such boards. Scammers usually try to post their adverts in such boards because they know about the disabled ratings, but the good thing that mods will move the topic to appropriate boards if reported.

They probably shut down their website after scamming some people. Weird choice of domain name by the scammer, though.

A small search shows that there is a warning about them from the FCA UK - https://www.fca.org.uk/news/warnings/benchmark-benchmarkcocom

379  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Share Your Thoughts on the Recent Crypto Price Drop on: January 26, 2024, 03:39:40 PM
It's just a not-so-big slump compared to past bitcoin price dips, so I don't see why this should make anyone so worried. It's how markets behave, I actually expected a price correction a long while back. With Bitcoin Spot ETFs getting approved, I know so many people expected an immediate Bitcoin price rally all the way up, but that is not what happened. The fact that Bitcoin rose all the way from 20K prior to the Spot approvals means that those who were smart enough bought way back and did have to wait until the day an official announcement was made.

I believe the same thing is going to happen after halving. There won't be an immediate bull run. It might take a while. Well the market can be unpredictable sometimes
380  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Hidden Portals on: January 26, 2024, 03:06:49 PM
I performed a whois lookup on the domain, and it's from late 2023, the first red flag. That's why it's not indexed, and there's no mention of it anywhere. When I asked him where he got this exchange, he said a person from a crypto channel on Telegram contacted him—second red flag. This person has no references beyond the Telegram channel and is asking him to invest more money while urging him to keep the operations secret.
It's nice to know that you can at least sense some red flags. The fact that he got the buying/selling portal through some stranger on telegram means that it's 99% scam if I am being lenient. Advise him to stay away from the too-good-to-be-true deals and if he is still in doubt, invite him to read through the comments in this thread.

Also, why don't you do the community a favor by mentioning the so-called exchange here? Members will help to dissect and give out an alert if they see more red flags. This will help anyone else in the future who is trying to do their own research about the portal.
