Well Fedor Emelianenko kicked Johnson's ass.... with a nice two-piece     I actually thought Timothy Johnson will spoil Fedor Emelianenko's "The Last Emperor" party, in front of his home crowd, but it did not happen. 

Timothy Johnson's career is on a downhill now.. with two losses in a row in 2021 ....where he won 3 matches in a row in 2020.  (Most of his losses started to happen in 2015 onwards...so that was already the beginning to the end) 

My prediction for this fight was spot on.... because home crowd advantage is a big boost!

So, I will like to see how this digital currency (GovCoin) are going to function. Do the government have control over the coin cap? Can they increase and decrease the coin cap without consensus and do they have a decentralized network of full nodes that are not owned and operated by the government?

These are the areas of concern with "GovCoins" like this.... if they (government) have control over the coin supply, then the owners of those tokens (coins) are f#@%ed... because the government then control the value of those coins. 

I cannot differ from you more.... Why do we have to "ban" something, if scammers are using this technology? This trend of large social media and entertainment companies calling all the shots, goes directly against what Bitcoin was developed for. (Abuse of centralized authority)

Crypto currencies are "money" and scammers will latch onto anything that has value and also every platform that can be used to exploit people. (Did Facebook ban Fiat currencies, when it was used for all the scams that are advertised on Facebook?)

The decision to ban Bitcoin mining in China was a political decision to take back control over their citizens and to protect their fiat currency, not a decision to increase profits and taxes.

So I doubt if they will even consider a reverse decision to benefit from an increased Bitcoin price. The Chinese government will do anything to control their citizens and Bitcoin was a threat to their power. ("people's democratic dictatorship")  

The guys always joked.. saying that your bitcoins are just as safe as the gun being pushed against your head... and this is very true. It is safe, if nobody knows about your coins... but once people know about it... you are basically marked as a potential target for hackers and thiefs.

I do not know if anything can be done to protect you from a personal (physical) attack.... other than you hiding the fact that you own a lot of coins. I had a suspicious burglary a few months ago, where they ransacked the house... looking for something, but fortunately nothing was stolen. (I do not keep any bitcoins/paper wallets/private keys etc... at home)    

Surely something like this will be dominated by the massive mining farms out there... or is this petty cash for them to enter, compared to the profits that they are making with their mining farms?

What happens if someone that did not enter the Lotto, mine the block? (Does the Lotto rollover until there are a winner, like other Lotto's do?.....adding the previous entry fees to the next round?) 

Well, first of all... this is coming from a former president ...so he is not in the picture anymore... he is speculating just like any other normal citizen now. 

Secondly... What did they test, when they said... Bitcoin has scaling problems and high fees and transaction congestion and speed problems? Did they even consider Bitcoin with the Lightning Network... or did they just look at the original Bitcoin (BTC)?

The Lightning Network solved most of those problems ....and this is a much better option to use, when you use Bitcoin as a currency. 

I should have followed my own advice and bet against Eddie's Guarantee bet on Crystal Palace, but I thought I would go the safe bet and just bet on Crystal Palace for the win. (Who would have thought that they would draw) 

In any way, I will learn from my mistake and next time go for the opposite or for a draw, if the odds are close. They emailed the refund yesterday and I already put it to good use on another more sure bet.  (Let's hope this bet recovers my loss)

Eddie should give us more of these "guaranteed" wins....    <== Stake will make a lot of money. 

Ok, so why is this not making the news? ==> "Over 3.1 million (3,117,548) user email addresses were reportedly leaked from a crypto price-tracking website called CoinMarketCap." 

It is hacks and scams like this, that caused the blanket ban on all Crypto currency advertisements on large social media platforms ...during the ICO Boom period a few years ago.     Let's hope Youtube can find some way to stop this, because I think a blanket ban will be an options if they do not do this.

I can already see Logan Paul without one ear...  

Mike Tyson was a beast in his day, but I think this match has come too late for Logan Paul to say he won a fight against a legend of boxing. The much younger Logan Paul will last a lot longer than the older Mike, but Mike Tyson will go for the early knockout.  

I hate exhibition fights... because there are not a lot of the competitive drive in those fights to win, but let's give them the benefit of the doubt.  

I was curious about your decision to take such a strange domain name, because I thought you chose the "oddsen" as part of the words "odds & ends" ... but you explained under "About us" that it is Norwegian for "bet"  

If I can give one criticism about the site, then it will be that you are having all the reviews on the start page... or well, a link to them. This makes the Homepage a little cluttered and it will take long to load for some people. (Just imagine if you add 50+ more reviews on that page)  

You can also try this site ==> https://www.askgamblers.com/submit-complaint   or you can check if it was already reported as a scam site over here : https://www.casinoplayersreport.com/reports/casino-scam-reports/

This forum also have a Scam Accusations section https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0  .....where you can report it as a scam.. and people will respond to your accusations. (Just make sure you have solid proof of your accusation, before you post there.) 

Good Luck, I hope the information will help you... 

I think it is safe to say, if you look at Eddie's Sport predictions and his win ratio's on his live stream sessions... then you would be better off betting on the other side, but half the money back (max $50) option when you lose ...is just too big not to side with him on this one.    

The odds on this one is definitely worth it, so even with a bigger bet than $50.. it will probably give you a decent win... if you bet something bigger on Crystal Palace for the win.

Good luck boys and girls.... this one is going to be a lot of fun.  

Nope.... I think it is better to have it under the Exchange area... because Luno.com is a Crypto Exchange. So everyone that might be using this exchange, would immediately see it, when they visit this section of the forum. 

It actually does not matter where it is posted.... it just has to be on this forum, because people receiving this email and then using Google to verify it, will eventually find this and they might be helped by this. 

Hi, Just want to inform you that there are a new Phishing email being sent out...

https://prnt.sc/1x4b1ax - The url is redirecting to a phishing site, so just beware not to click on any links in any emails.

My friend is registered on Luno.com, so he send me this picture to post on the forum... just for those who do not know about this. Hope this help someone not to be scammed.  

If you do not want to click on the print screen in my Url.. just look for a email saying "Wallet error!" ..... and the content says this :

Dear Client,

Please be informed that an incoming payment was rejected due to multiple errors found on your Luno wallet details. ......

It is a bit of a "Click bait" title.... because Wallmart are not selling Bitcoin directly to their customers.... but even if they use a third party.. it is still huge news. The down side of this, is the 11% in fees that they are paying for those bitcoins. 

Let's hope this is the "gateway" into more extensive buying/selling/trading for these people into the future. They get the taste for it.. and they start looking for cheaper ways to get some more.    The next big thing will be when Wallmart start to accept Bitcoin as a payment option... 

I had the weirdest thing happening to me a few hours ago.... I added bets to a multi bet slip and it "rate limited" me for some reason. I usually get this when I play Plinko (Original Game) ...when I press too many balls too quickly, but never on Sport bets. 

Does anyone else get the same problem or is this just me? I do not want to use a VPN, but when this happens.. it forces me to use one, just to get back into Stake. 

So... What will happen if the US bans Bitcoin mining too ..and the Bitcoin miners move to Pakistan and then Pakistan bans Bitcoin mining and the miners move to the UK.... I think you catch my drift....right?

Bitcoin mining is not centralized in one country... and if something happen, then miners just move to the next Bitcoin friendly country.    (There will always be countries that will be showing the middle finger to the trending actions of other countries... just take Venezuela as an example) 

I have to agree with you, BitPay is a merchant's worst nightmare!

A year or so ago, I walk into a tyre repair/fitment shop and I see a "Bitcoin Accepted here" sign. I know the owner and we started talking.... saying that it was one big mess and he is reconsidering his decision to accept Bitcoin payments.

BitPay KYC requirements and their "limits" on certain things was a absolute joke and his invoicing and the price differences was just as bad. (Customers compared the price with Preev.com and got into arguments with the owner.. over the difference in price)

BitPay is hurting the merchant adoption ...more than they are helping it to happen ...at this moment. 

On Stake.com things are pretty fast, but at times (Saturdays when Weekly are paid out) the system can lag a lot. I also find that if I drop too many balls too quickly with original games like Plinko, I get rate limited. (It will warn you that you need to slow down, but I usually ignore the warning and it does not accept the bets, if you are going too fast)

A lot of the other Dice sites where I play are fast, but they have way less gamblers playing there.. so it is not fair towards Stake.com to use them as a comparison. (At any given time, Stake.com have between 4000 and 7000 players playing at the same time)

One of my issues with most of these sites are that they are not upgrading or scaling their infrastructure as they grow bigger and bigger.
