Boom, Tua does it again with 2 running TDs. That was a great game, also especially because I won. First time New England's been out of the playoffs for 20 years... pretty remarkable. Can't help but think Belichick is looking forward to a bit of off time during the holidays since its been a while.


Sounds like Winston is out on the rona list and the Saints aren't planning on having Brees play the entire game, which definitely favors the Chiefs IMO. So I took Chiefs ML.

Possibly, but Elwar has a vision, and I say its better to spend your time on the planet pursuing that than ways to re-invest your already substantial wealth. Breakthroughs are made by giving new ideas a go, ala Bitcoin in our mutual instance. That kind of spirit should be encouraged.


Also, all that doesn't really apply to Risto, RIP. Risto was, AFAIK, born wealthy and suffered from mental illness. He was very grandiose and by all means his lifestyle should not be emulated.

Risto just kind of flailed about, driven by a combination of bipolar disorder, narcissism and a bit of histrionic personality disorder, whereas Elwar is on an actionable mission.

Plus, you'll never catch Elwar posing for a photo op next to a classic car, much less painted in pink. (Again, RIP Risto)

He should probably do that though for the LOLs.

What's worse is having the chance to do something extraordinary but being too afraid to take it.

Good catch, definitely a scam project, thanks for writing up the scam accusation for it. I have tagged the OP of the bounty thread and have created a flag based on this thread... Hopefully this will help to stop other accounts from wasting their time advertising a scam.

OK, so nobody actually said or thinks that Hex is going to a dollar, or even 50 cents. Focus on remaining above 1 cent first.


I'd rather watch my flesh burn under a magnifying glass in the hot sun but thanks for the offer.


"First certificate of deposit." That's a great series of words for marketing purposes but its ultimately meaningless. Who certified it? JP Morgan?

Also, Hex isn't locking the coins, Ethereum is. Hex is a token that rides on top of the Ethereum network, its not its own "crypto." Certainly nobody uses it as an actual method of payment. The only thing you can do with it is stake it and hope some fool pays more than you did when you sell it.


Bitcoin has had the ability to make timelocked transactions since 2016.

Oh, those mysterious "crypto experts" say that do they? Would you mind revealing who these experts are by any chance?

How can a token's market cap surpass that of its platform? It can't.

Hex might pump again but its garbage.

It has a uniquely designed smart contract that recreates Proof of Stake coin generation. So its not really doing anything new or interesting, and there's no reason for anybody to own it... unless you're hoping to dump it on someone else at a higher price in the future. There's already thousands of coins whose only fundamental value is the same -- no reason to enrich Heart or the sleazebags trying to emulate him.

This is the saddest thing I've read all day.

You had 8 BTC -- you are in no way broke! That's enough money for anyone to start a comfortable life just about anywhere in the world!

You let greed get the best of you.

No, I literally said none of that. Nice dance moves though. I think they call that one The Worm.

You're a perfect example of who this thread is about though, so while you're here, answer me this:

Is the reason why you still believe Trump's lies because you are

a. stupid
b. full of shit

It must be one or the other, so which is it?

I don't know why he would trust a former KGB officer.

Oh, sorry I misspoke. I meant to say, I don't know why he wouldn't trust a former KGB officer.

Trump has once again contradicted intelligence experts to arrive at his own conclusions regarding the recent hack by Russia, saying he not only believes China was responsible for the hack, but that it was somehow tied to the imaginary voting fraud issue he uses to undermine the credibility of his own office.

How do you read something like this tweet and not walk away thinking "that man is probably the biggest piece of shit president of all-time" ?

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1340333619299147781

If by now you don't understand that he's just been making this voter fraud "issue" up since 2016, you're either full of shit or very stupid, or both. There's no middle ground here anymore.

Oh.. yeah apparently I didn't get it.


Edit: Well they covered 17.5 and you won your bet anyway, so I am awarding you the 3 merits.

Brave bet, bordering on nutty IMO. If you win this I will reward you with 3 whole merits. Bills @ -17.5? You must be expecting quite a stomping.

Yeah, it looks like he is:

I was tempted to bet Buffalo ML just to make the game more interesting, but its dropped to 1.39x... Not worth risking IMO.


Sounds reasonable.

Technically its not a "must-win" game for the Bills; even though they didn't clinch their division there's almost no chance they won't end up in the playoffs. Broncos... somehow technically still in it but an unappetizing team to bet on.

You'll have to send a message to the member that left you your trust if you want it removed. I would also delete the feedbacks your accounts wrote as it looks like they must have been written by the person who hacked your account. One other thing you can do is edit the text of your old posts to state that you didn't write the original post.

I have one pick with a decent degree of confidence for Sunday and that is Miami @ -1.5. They have been doing relatively well the second half of this season and need this game to help their playoff chances... a loss here could potentially eliminate them from contention. Miami also covers the spread more often than any other team this year while the Pats are less than average in that regard. One telling sign is that the Pats only beat the Jets by 3 points whereas Miami beat them by 17... I'm expecting some of that difference to carry over in Sunday's game.

I feel pretty confident about this one so I'm actually upping the line to -2.5 and taking my bet on that.

The conservative version of the bet (Miami -1.5) pays out ~1.91x.

The riskier version (Miami -2.5) pays out ~2.02x.

Well, that was another exciting game! Could have gone either way for quite a length of it. Even though Marriota didn't turn things around to a W, they were damn close, and I don't think the Raiders are going to forget about that going forward, and next year. Quite a morale buster for Raiders fans who were still clinging to Super Bowl hopes. Maybe next year.

OK, I'll change it to something else -- wouldn't want to be accused of leaving false feedback.

Only in the loosest sense of the word as what I'm doing falls under the broad umbrella of what shilling could mean to some people.

Going by the definition linked above, shilling means:


So for most of us, the second part is right out. Though I've had pleasant experiences using some services I've advertised before, and indeed talking about them would be shilling.

The first part: wearing a sig could arguably be interpreted as "persuading people to buy something" as the ad wouldn't be there without your post. I don't personally have a problem with this and probably wouldn't call it "shilling," but some undoubtedly would and do.


You could have just said "shilling means different things to different people."

Ordinarily I would like a team in the Raiders' position but the truth is they are pretty awful and yeah, like you pointed out, they only beat the Jets by 3 points. They also have less offensive yards across the season than the Chargers and have given up more defensive yards. Who knows, maybe they will find something within themselves to pull it together enough to potentially qualify for the playoffs. Maybe not!

Gonna take the Chargers @ +3.5 here for 1 mBTC, just to make the game a little bit more exciting. But I give it a low-confidence level rating as it goes against my prevailing theory (that playoff-contending teams find creative ways to put a little extra "oomph" in their games to secure the all-important V).

Sometimes I'll get a merit or two back after sending one or some to somebody, I'd say within a day or so. But it doesn't happen to me nearly as often as this guy, and it seems to be pre-planned behavior. His merit activity is definitely suspicious but it would require more evidence of the merit trade agreement before I'd say its worth  getting grumpy about...

What are these accounts (merit customers) doing? If they are a spam farm then they should def. be tagged. If they are just bounty hunters, I don't think there's enough evidence to accuse them of anything specifically, so far. But that's just my take on it. If they turn out to all be owned by the same person, its worth waiting to see what they are trying to accomplish.
