My friends above, your age shows through your comments  Tongue
I'm willing to bet you guys are over 50.
I doubt that there is so many member who are above 50, definitely not majority here. I would like to bet, but without KYC there is no way to prove age Cheesy.
Personally, I make most of my posts here using mobile and I wouldn't say that I have bad experience. Offcourse, things could be better, mobile version would be good to have, but I can't complain
3722  Other / Meta / Re: Why did the forum stop supporting images from imgur's http links? on: May 09, 2021, 05:45:20 PM
I don't want to make new topic, so I just ask here. Is it not possible to upload images on Imgur using mobile option, because for some time I'm getting error on their upload page and suggestion to download their app.
If it's not possible anymore, maybe someone can suggest simple and easy to use alternative for mobile which would give bbcode sharing link after uploading image.
EDIT. Haven't saw @lovesmayfamilis post with links above, will check it out.

I don't think that Lewis did something extraordinary today. Yes, his recovery was great, but it's more because of Mercedes tactics. Or I should say because Red Bull failed with their strategy today. Offcourse, it's easy to talk after race, but 1 pit stop strategy wasn't good decision.
P4 for Leclerc is best thing what Ferari were able to achieve today. Another poor race for Vettel and he is still without points. I didn't expected something amazing from him, but so far he looks very disappointing.
Fun fact - Mazespin got 4th place in Driver of the Day voting Cheesy.

Poor attitude from Bottas though, when he didn't allow Hamilton to pass despite team orders... Bottas really unleashed his inner Rosberg at that moment, but in the end it didn't matter.
Well, I can understand his behaviour - he is pissed off with all these team orders. But after this moment, Toto Wolf face didn't looked happy Smiley.

It was really great race. Monaco track isn't good for modern F1 cars, it's impossible to overtake there, but Formula E cars fits perfectly there. Yesterday we saw overtaking in places, where in F1 you couldn't even think that would be possible. Well, narrower cars, less downforce, smaller speed makes difference. Also, not like in F1, all these small crashes don't make much damage for the car.

Difficult game as expected, but in the end only team which are happy about result is Real. From Barca players behaviour it didn't looked like they are playing most important game of season. In first half Atletico were better, in second half Barca improved their game a bit, but it wasn't enough to score and win game.
After this game, that loss against Granada is still in my eyes. If we won't win league this season, that game will stuck in my memory for long.

anyway, i'm surprised that almost everyone predicted a Barca win in our pool, no faith in atletico...man, all of you guys are Barca fans lol just say it 😂
Yeah, I was also surprised to see that there is no faith in Atletico here, Well, I'm Barca fan really, so I can't act different than I did Cheesy. But after all, we got just 1 point from 12 possible playing against Real and Atletico this season. It would be something amazing if we will win league with such result.


P.S. It's my 8000th post here on Bitcointalk, but it's not most fun way to reach such achievement :/

Taking this into account, the final score of the game, 4:0 in favor of Shakhtar, doesn't look that strange. So, maybe this particular game wasn't fixed. However, something looks fishy about it. I read, 2 hours before the game Minaj players were saying they were not going to the stadium. Then they arrived to the stadium, with a delay of 40 minutes, and there was info that players closed themselves in the locker room, saying they were not going to play.
Yeah, result isn't strange, but things in betting markets were not usual. There was huge bets made on over 3.5 goals, like $300k or $500k. Unfortunately, I can find only russian article about  it: https://ua.tribuna.com/football/1096858915-aleksandr-denisov-stavki-na-match-minaj-shaxter-byli-po-300-500-tysyac.html
Also, unofficial team manager Oleksandr Sevidov, who started to work in Minaj just month ago is currently banned from footbal for 5 years for being involved in match fixing. Coincidence? I don't think so. Officially he works as advisor in the team, since he aren't allowed to manage team.

I wonder how Minaj team players explained their behavior? It seems to me that the team had some serious problems and information about this went outside the club, so many bettors expected a major defeat. I don't think there was any dishonest agreement or intention to lose the game on purpose with a large score.
One their player that game was delayed because their bus arrived to the stadium too late. Other said that they didn't wanted to play and risk their reputation in case if they will suffer big loss. Team manager in press conference that he only want to talk about game and allegation about fixing is nonsense.

A muddy story. But isn't Shakhtar so much stronger than the second team that a bet on the number of goals over 3.5 looks quite reasonable? I am not an expert in Ukrainian football, but from the outside this story looks far-fetched. Maybe the excitement around this match was created for some other reasons that we do not yet know.
Yes, bet on over 3.5 goals on this game looks reasonsble, despite that Shakhtar were playing quite shitty. But as I understand, number of bets made on over 3.5 goals was significantly bigger than on casual similar level game, what made it to look suspicious.
3728  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An obvious rigging of Sports. on: May 06, 2021, 07:11:35 PM
Today there was very interesting case of potentially fixed game in Ukraine Premier League.
Some strange things happened in markets before Minaj and Shakhtar Donetsk game. Odds for Minaj win went from 27 to 44. Also, so many people started to bet on over 3.5 goals that some bookmakers removed this game from market. When I made bet for over 3.5, it was @1.60, but 30 minutes before game it was just 1.37.
And then, Minaj players simply refused to play because of allegations. Later they changed their mind, but game started 35 minutes later than planned. And how unexpected, game ended with Shakhtar win 4:0.
As far as I know, Minaj players aren't getting paid, so it's nothing surprising that they got involved in dirty things. And loss tonight means that they will drop to second division.
If you're interested, you can see highlights of game:

If before season somone would have said that Chelsea will play in Champions final this year, I would have called that person dumb. Chelsea got very lucky that PSG sacked Tuchel - it's amazing what he did with this team.
What a solid game today, no chance for Real. Before game I was wondering why bookmakers gives such obvious advantage for Chelsea. Tonight's game showed that it wasn't without a reason.

OP, you haven't listed many covid vaccines like Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson and some less known vaccines. Without these, your poll results won't represent anything.
Personally, I think that most us can't say which one vaccine is the best. Most of us don't have medical education and now it's nothing more than popularity contest.
Sinovac vaccine has a single-dose efficiency of just 3%, according to a study performed by Universidad de Chile.
3%? Did I read it right? Shouldn't it something like 30%? I tried to look for more data about this vaccine and there is lot of different numbers. From what I found, efficiency of Sinovac vaccine is between 50% and 78% according to different researches.

Why to ask such strange questions? How do you imagine such thing? Why EU would need to accept country from South Asia and why Pakistan would need to join EU? It's not how things works in politics.
Pakistan who holds around 30-40% of worlds politics. Pakistan has a very strong role in Politics around the world.
Forget about USA, China, Russia, UK or Germany. Here comes Pakistan - most powerful country in the world.
3732  Economy / Reputation / Re: My 30 questions for theymos on: May 05, 2021, 07:43:39 PM
Although I am curious to know all the answers but there a few terrible questions. For example, who is theymos, we don't expect these answers from a decentralized crypto user due to privacy issues.
Why it's terrible? It's obvious that he isn't asking his real name or other sensitive personal information.

Nobody likes to answer bunch of questions and I think 30 is a bit too much, not to mention that all bits of information you leave online can potentially help to identify his real identity if he is being honest.
Hey, don't speak for everyone Wink. If you check how many responses @zasad@ thread with questions got, it wouldn't be right to say that nobody likes to answer such questions. Offcourse, merits played it's role there, but I think that even without, there would be many responses.
I doubt that theymos will respond to these questions, but if he would it, it would so damn interesting. We really don't know much about our boss.
3733  Economy / Reputation / Re: Zepher - 900 days since last active. Q: What was he like? on: May 05, 2021, 07:23:38 PM
Unfortunately, I never interacted with him personally. But he left significant mark in Bitcointalk history, especially in Collectibles board. I'm not frequent visitor there, so I can't describe him as person in detail. But if you'll check his memorial thread or his trust page, you'll see that he was great man and Bitcointalk community will never forget him.
3734  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ BitcoinPRBuzz.com's ⚽ Italian Serie A ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread on: May 05, 2021, 05:26:37 PM
Guys, what do you think about Mourinho in Roma? For me this move is very unexpected and it will be another reason to watch  Serie A next season.
I think that he have even less chance to win something with Roma than in Spurs. Expectations is big, but c'mon, Roma is miles away from Inter, Juventus. Milan, Atalanta or Napoli is also way better than them. And it's possible that they won't even qualify to UEFA competition next season. Even if they will, it will be just third tier competition called UEFA Conference League. Winning this trophy wouldn't very prestigious and big thing.
Also, it's interesting that Mkhitaryan had conflicts with Mou back in MU times. Wouldn't be surprised if he will leave Roma summer.
Mourinho got 3 year contract, but I would give him max 1.5 year until he will be sacked.
3735  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: May 04, 2021, 09:02:28 PM
City is simply great and deserved to reach final. PSG today made 0 shots on target - it says a lot about this game. Absence of Mbappe was huge factor tonight. And what I noticed that PSG players simply lose their heads when they are loosing, it happened today, it happened multiple times in Ligue 1 this season. That red flag of Di Maria is best example of it - what an idiot.
3736  Other / Meta / Re: The signature campaign “syndrome” on: May 04, 2021, 07:29:21 PM
I have a bit similar syndrome. I tend to pay less attention to posts made by users who participate in non-Bitcoin paying campaigns. Especially if it's made by users who isn't familiar for me. Maybe now it's not that big problem, but few years ago when bounties where bigger thing, reading posts by bounty participants was big waste of time.
And I don't hide signatures and avatars. I wear paid signature myself, so I would be hypocrite if I would do this.
I find that 25 a week is a sweet spot. Divided by 7 days, that averages to 3.5 a day. Not too demanding if you ask me.
My campaign requires 20 posts a week and I think that 20-25 is optimal number. Bigger requirements would significantly reduce quality of posts I think.
But still, when I have bussy week or I don't find interesting topics to post, sometimes reaching even 20 posts isn't that easy.

Rumor, if the Gp of Mexico will be eliminated for Covid situation they are now thinking about adding a second GP in the USA.

The location will be probably Indianapolis in the old f1 track version.
It's strange to see romours that Mexico GP can be cancelled. There is half year left until this race and with things like vaccination, I don't see any reasons why they would need to cancel this race.
Indianapolis road circuit would be interesting choice. Last time race there were held probably 15 years ago, so barely can remember how good or bad race there was. Only thing which stuck in my mind when there just 6 cars started in race.
3738  Other / Meta / Re: wtf? I don't scammer on: May 03, 2021, 07:36:53 PM
Maybe just like many wonders why scam is not moderated on this forum? It is probably about giving everyone the freedom to do whatever they want, with the community then saying what they think about it through feedback and flags.
I think it's also about workloads for moderators and their responsibility. Imagine what if they would to check every scam accusation, all topics in Reputation board and make decision whether someone is scammer or no. And don't forget their main job - moderating forum. I think it would be too much for them and I think current system when everything is left for community to judge. Though, it's far for perfect...
I think that account sales isn't forbidden because it would be difficult to prevent such things. Even if you have extra information like IP logs, it's not always proof that account changed hands.
But yeah, there is some things which never was clear for me, like why it was completely OK to sell accounts in past, escrow for account sales or using it as collateral.

Isn't Benteke a true scammer? I was a huge fan when he played for Aston Villa, thought he was from another planet, then he was sold for 45-50million or something to Liverpool (my favorite team).... Then the scam started, no goals, bad playing, injured etc  Cheesy Roll Eyes Kiss
LOL, you really made me laugh Cheesy. When I saw OP's username, my first thought also was Christian Benteke Cheesy.

Sometimes I get promotional emails from freebitcoin regarding the deposit promo after I clicked it turned out that only bitcoin deposit methods were available of course I avoid everything that uses bitcoin for deposits so I mean why not provide other methods such as altcoins
Maybe because name of website is FreeBitco.in, not FreeAltco.in
But yeah, it would be nice if they would start supporting altcoin deposits. I remember they planned to support few main altcoins year or two ago, but so far it wasn't implemented. When transaction fees is so high, Bitcoin deposit isn't good option.

Very difficult, nervous, but such important win. Honestly, after 1st half I thought that our title race come to the end. These feelings become even stronger after Paulista goal.
But then Barca wake up. Now I just don't understand what I thought when I made under 3.5 goals bet on this game. When you look at H2H results, it doesn't happens that often.
Next round can be decisive in league. Barca will face Atletico, while Real will play against Sevilla. Lot of questions may be answered there, already can't wait for next weekend.
