I don't understand those beginners who form their portfolios that consist ONLY of altcoins and NFTs? What do you expect when your diversification is zero and does not contain a single deflationary asset, which is Bitcoin. Bitcoin is volatile, but it is always rising and always in price.
I seriously doubt your average altcoin and bounty crowd knows what deflationary means.

They could be interested in altcoins for a number of reasons. I am just going to mention two:

1. Bitcoin has already been around for over a decade and people know about it. They believe there isn't that much room to make a profit. Maybe they even think bitcoin will never reach those old highs ever again. They are also not aware of market cycles. Because of that, they think it's time to find the next coin that will become the new bitcoin when it comes to returns. Filling your wallets with as many of those useless tokens is what they believe will increase their chances of getting in early before one of them explodes.

2. They have no money to invest and can't buy Bitcoin. They have no other means to earn it. They don't work or have enough saved up, so they focus on what they believe is the next best thing - new unlisted tokens and altcoins. Maybe by holding those, they will amount to something in the future that can be sold or traded for bitcoin. Unfortunately, that rarely happens nowadays.

@Poker Player
Don't drink and post, it's dangerous. Grin

I have never given much thought to post bursting. But if the content of the posts are OK and it isn't spam except the posts coming in quick succession one after the other, I personally wouldn't mind it.

I did think of something though. Imagine you were reading a few threads or posts and then you had to leave or go to work before you can come up with a decent reply. During the time you are gone, you might write a draft of what you want to say or write it on your work computer and save the content somewhere. Later when you get home where you are safe to access Bitcointalk, you come back to your attachments or drafts, check that you aren't repeating what others have already said, and you post it in the appropriate threads. Since the posts were already written in advance, you can post all of them relatively quickly, and they will look like burst posting. But that doesn't necessarily mean they are shit posts and should be deleted.

You know, Xal0lex isn't wrong.

You know how to create hyperlinks as seen in the OP and some of your other posts. There is also a post where you quote a saying from your country and you use quotation marks.
My people always says "Nah who get food to chop they save"...

All that shows that you know about these things. If the copy-pasted parts were in quote tags, italicized, or in quotation marks, like in the example above, people could say you made some effort to make it easier to distinguish your words from the parts that were taken from somewhere else.

This could be a case of someone forgetting to put the source link or someone intentionally leaving it out for whatever reason. You will have to convince the admins that it's the latter.

@BK8.Official

I would like to invite you back to the scam accusation thread that you already posted in a few days ago. I quoted and replied to you, but there was no response.

we have checked your account and we came to know that your account is flagged by the provider's compliance team due to abnormalities found this may be referring to a member professional betting style has breached the fair play betting rules that might have violated and triggered your account to be suspended.
Not that I like the tone of OP who is accusing you of withholding his winnings because attacking everyone and everything around makes him look guilty. But for the sake of clarification, what kind of abnormalities are you talking about? What did the player do? What is a "Member professional betting style"? Do you have reasons to believe OP is part of an illegal betting crew or that he has insider information or something?

Everyone seems to be pleased with the outcome, but shouldn't there be some proof that confirms your side of the story? The way it is now, it's your word against the word of the player and that's it. Nothing in your reply sounds convincing for now.

And there is also this:
While details are best to be open for transparency for the players' side, it is going to sound like "how to cheat the casino" and "this what makes you caught." Therefore termination based on the breach of rules is used. Common sense should also be used in this instance since the amount in question is always small and it's always sports betting instance.
But where do we draw the line? How do we determine who is telling the truth and who isn't? Choosing sides without knowing the facts isn't the right way to do it. So OP is lying in this case with no presented evidence whatsoever. If you or me made a similar accusation tomorrow in the same way, would we also be lying or are we telling the truth because we are somewhat more trusted than OP is?

Can you add more information as to what the player did wrong exactly to have his account closed? I would like to know.

Do you remember the matches you placed those bets on? I am trying to cure my curiosity.

I am going to post in their ANN thread in the gambling section linking to my two posts and questions here to see if I get a response from someone. I remember that I tried to get some information from this bookie not that long ago for my thread where I keep track of withdrawal amounts/fees in crypto casinos and they weren't helpful at all, and they were unresponsive. The support agent I spoke with over live chat didn't understand English to be able to help me further. They work with a campaign manager here. His name is Gianluca and a number or something in the user name. He might be able to help. You might have seen his posts if you read their ANN thread.

Can you try and remain calm? You are giving away weird vibes and it's hard to believe you.

Why not ask OP to publish his last 5 bet slips or so? An abuser is quite easy to spot. Pretty sure it must be on small unknown leagues/matches.
I'll stop my comment if his bet was a simple MU vs City 1x2 bet and the like.
He said that his account is blocked and closed. I don't think he can do that, but the BK8.Official admin can if both parties agree to it. I would say it also depends on where you live. If his bets are on a small unknown league in a 3rd-world country, and he lives thousands of kilometers away in a Western nation, I would agree with you that it looks bad. But if he lives in or around the country whose matches he bets on, that's totally different.   

While details are best to be open for transparency for the players' side, it is going to sound like "how to cheat the casino" and "this what makes you caught." Therefore termination based on the breach of rules is used. Common sense should also be used in this instance since the amount in question is always small and it's always sports betting instance.

Now talking bout, El Salvador, Namibian and also Central African Republic, it's not about adding Bitcoin, how well can they go after one year accepting Bitcoin, how well has it been utilize ? How many old timers has successfully jumped in Bitcoin real life utilization?
How many businesses are using as a means of payment ? That's all that matters really if you ask me.
This is something that you can find out on site. It's impossible to know by reading a few articles or looking at interviews with the President. Older and not technically gifted folks will struggle working with a smartphone and getting the grip of bitcoin. They are not the target group for innovation, but still have to be considered.

To understand what the regular people think of bitcoin and if they use it, you walk down a random street and enter small shops and private businesses. By talking with the people there and asking them do they accept crypto and what they think about it will give you the information you need to know. That's completely different from tourist locations, shopping malls, and stuff like that.   
3869  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Nano X and Nano S Plus with free shipping on: October 12, 2022, 09:30:57 AM
Oh that is representative example for sure  Roll Eyes
On the other hand you have a bunch of people who are publicly complaining and providing feedback about their ledger nono X devices.
It is, yes. When determining the quality (or lack of quality) of something, you can't just take into account the things you want to see and neglect the stories you don't like. Ledger is shit, hence I only consider and like those who call it shit. Those that don't are losers. And those who can't share negativity about the company are lying. There is obviously a big difference between the Nano Xs they have been manufacturing in recent years and the older ones before the battery pandemic.       

On positive side, Ledger just started selling their devices in Target stores, so no need for shipping if you have one in your area, and if you want to save waste less money:
Target is a US-brand and most of their stores are in the US. So it's good for Americans and Canadians. I don't know how many locations they have intentionally. I could swear I saw a Target store in a German mall not that long ago but I am not certain of that.

Edit: In the spreadsheet, shouldn't the pay rate be 1 mBTC instead of 0,1? For the avatar campaign members.
I was part of the Starbets signature and avatar campaign that was also managed by icopress. The spreadsheet was identical and the pay rates were set at 0,1 mBTC for each new week. But when the week ends and the posts get checked, the correct numbers will be added to the spreadsheet.

What are you guys applying for? The title of the thread says FULL. The campaign manager only made a post to highlight that payments for the first week have been sent and he didn't announce that any new spots are available. 
3873  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Nano X and Nano S Plus with free shipping on: October 11, 2022, 01:01:17 PM
Free shipping Ledger's hardware wallets for this promotion applies to all types of delivery, including economy and express delivery?
Good question. I didn't think about that and the fact there are different shipping methods. From what I can see, it's not express delivery. It's tracked delivery with DHL, Colissimo, or some other provider depending on where you are in the world. I entered some fake details with fake addresses from various parts of the world just to get a delivery time estimate. Turns out you will need to wait anywhere from 2 to 21 business days. Again, this depends on where you are. Within the EU, the estimate is 2-5 business days. Outside of EU 14-21.   

Also, it would be good to indicate the source of this information.
I saw it on Twitter first but there is also a notification at the top of the page on https://shop.ledger.com/. I can link to the Twitter post, but it contains no additional information.
3874  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Nano X and Nano S Plus with free shipping on: October 11, 2022, 12:00:45 PM
I wouldn't buy that ledger nono X crap even if they pay me to use it, and as for model S plus you could just buy in local reseller with almost identical price, and you won't have to wait for delivery package to arrive.
No way, really? You generally speak very highly of Ledger you sweet talker. Wink
I was never a big fan of their Nano X model due to Bluetooth and the battery, but users like Lucius have had one for years and they aren't complaining.

It seems to me that free shipping is something that has always been available, at least when it comes to the EU? Maybe I'm wrong about the recent past, but I'm sure I haven't paid any additional costs for my devices in the past.
Maybe it's free when the total value is above a certain amount. Here is an archive of their shop from January 2022. As you can see, there is a free shipping tag under the Nano X but there is no such thing under the Nano S. Something similar is mentioned in this reddit post. The OP claims he was asked to pay around $16 for the Nano S. That was two years ago. In the comments, people are saying that only the Nano X has free shipping. Another post by someone who maybe worked for Ledger at the time wrote they stopped offering free express shipping.

There is also this thread by our favorite crypto personality jerry0 who wrote he also needed to pay $18 for express shipping. However, he lives in the US I think. @Lucius didn't you order your Nano X with a discount during Black Friday or something? Maybe free shipping was part of that promotion.

How I found it is a bit embarrassing.. via an online conversation/dating app..
Bloody hell man. I am not going to pound on you when you are down and you got scammed, but I just have to ask really? A dating platform should be about finding a new partner not investment opportunities. In many similar cases, it's usually a sexy Asian girl who finds you cute, interesting, and simply irresistible. So she can't help herself and wants to make you a millionaire so you will love her even more. Sounds like a story for cheap and badly-produced movie.     

I hope this lesson teaches you not to trust unknown internet communication and confuse it with someone who wants only the best for you. Did you lose a lot of money?

So you think bumping this thread where a player used multiple accounts to bypass betting restrictions (Stunna was talking abount 15+ accounts) and other scam accusation threads concerning Stake will make the community think that your supposed involvement in table tennis match fixing is OK? Think again. You wagered lots of money on the same player on the same tournament. It worked for a while, but it doesn't anymore.

How do you successfully access Chipmixer with Brave browser?
It seems it doesn't work for me I tried accessing the TOR links but this is the result.
Is there a need to change the Brave settings or something to make the .onion links accessible?
It's not going to work in a normal session, meaning you can't open a new tab and insert a .onion link into Brave browser. You need to create a new private window with Tor.
You should be able to access it by clicking on the 3 lines in the top right corner. It allows you to add a new tab, open a new window, but you want to click on "new private window with Tor". 
3878  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Namibia Now Accepts Bitcoin As Payment on: October 11, 2022, 08:32:12 AM
I discovered that it is the developing countries that are hungry to accept Bitcoin. They are also making their laws lenient on Bitcoin while some of the developed countries are not concerned about Bitcoin. Rather they are looking for means to starve bitcoin to death, by making or planning to make unfavourable laws for bitcoin and bitcoin mining.
Developed western nations don't fear for their economy and their national currencies the same way undeveloped countries do. You can't expect the British, Americans, or the Chinese to recognize BTC as legal tender as it will become a direct threat to their fiat currencies.

If we look back at El Salvador, they use the USD as legal tender because they don't have their own. Now they added BTC to the equation.
Namibia uses the Namibian Dollar which is basically a shitcoin. 1 NAD is 0.05 USD.
The francs used in Central African Republic are even worse and I am getting an exchange rate of 0.0015 USD for 1 CFA franc.
3879  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Nano X and Nano S Plus with free shipping on: October 11, 2022, 08:14:14 AM
What are the chances some less recognized hardware wallet makers take advantage of the lack of offers and manage to pull off their own discounts for the sake of advertisement?
They are sill in the same mess like everyone else. It's even harder to make a decent profit for smaller companies that can't rely on quantity to stay competitive. It's easier to lower the price if you sell 200.000 units a year compared to only 5.000. Inflation, material and chip shortages don't make it easy for anyone. 

This seems like a strange offer considering they have official stores on sites like amazon and are able to offer free delivery via them (unless there's an additional price factored in somewhere that covers delivery from them to a distribution place).
I think free delivery is only for Amazon Prime customers. You don't enjoy free shipping just because you are buying over Amazon, do you? Amazon Prime subscription fee is about $15 a month the last time I checked. So even though the shipping itself is free, you are paying that money for something else. 
3880  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Ledger Nano X and Nano S Plus with free shipping on: October 10, 2022, 07:22:54 PM
Ledger started a one-week discount campaign where you can get free shipping on your Nano S Plus or Nano X purchases starting today.
The offer is valid until 17 October and doesn't require the entry of a discount code during checkout.  

Halloween is coming up and maybe there will be other promotions and discounts from hardware wallet manufacturers. Due to the current state of the economy and the everlasting chip shortage, I doubt we will see big discounts. Offers such as free shipping or free accessories might be the best they can offer for now.
