Literal del twitter.

EDITADO

No vayas al sitio de Pancake ni introduzcas claves privadas. Parece estar bajo un ataque  DNS.

Ya es publico y reconocido en el twitter de Binance y el oficial de Pancake, esta en curso un hack en el website de Pancake, uno de los proyectos (una subcadena de Binance Smart Chain).

Se trata de un ataque de secuestro de DNS  similar al que en su momento ocurrio en Etherdelta. In that case, being a very minor DEX with low volumes, el hacker Elliott Gunton obtuvo el equivalente aproximado a 269.000 USD.

Estos ataques se basan en explotar la posible vulnerabilidad de los servidores de Domain Name Servers (o tambien de routers) y dirigir a los usuarios a una direccion IP distinta a la autentica. Alli se haya una pagina en apariencia identica a la original pero destinada a capturar contrasenias y claves.

Ahora queda por ver el volumen robado y si consiguen cazar al hacker o hackers - si es que no son de algun gobierno.

I think they can actually compete in terms of technology and development because Binance has huge resources that they can use to develop, however there are two main problems:

a) It is a private chain, so you are always under the foot of Binance and manipulation is likely.
b) The ecosystem is not even half as big as the ethereum. Much less projects, much later.

Thus, it will not become the "ethereum killer", simply another chain - yet I admit a particularly well funded one.

Yep, we are all in the same situation. Some projects wanted to distribute profits in Ether - crypto funds and the like - and it comes out that anyone with less than "x" tokes would just simply get nothing. Same for transfering shit-tokens for a value of less than $100 at least. It is a shame because many ethereum users are not taking advantage of the current prosperous market and that will damage the eth project itself in the long run.

For me the answer as of now is none. The reason is that the reward to benefit ratio on most networks that use staking is to low compared to similar alternative investments outside the crypto scene. For me, a 20% APY can be obtained in a number of stocks that are volatile, yet much less than crypto. Smoother ride, less risk...

There is catch 22 on returns for staking: if it is too high the safety of the network becomes too expensive, thus transactions become expensive and kill the project. If the safety is too cheap, nobody wants to stake, so the project dies.

Now, if you really want to stake, I would start looking at BSC chains, particularly the new ones that have potential to grow aside from the staking ROI.

I just remembered that there was an specific project (Augur?) with alt-coins that intended to make a platform for "prediction markets".


I wonder if any of you has had any experience using the platform or the token and how the results may vary depending on the general alt-coin market, that is, even if winning a bet will actually give you a decent result if the value of the coin drops in that market cycle.

Interesting experiment PMalek, I wonder if by backtesting this with previous season's games you could provide a result along time, that is for example 3 years of playing consistently this way. I am aware that is a lot of effort though.

To be honest, you could add some consideration for odds that just seem right versus those that are for any reason not that correct.

My earnings are most of the times minimal, which incredibly enough is an improvement from the 2018 alt-fever in which the earning were many times 0, due to scams, failed projects, shitty teams,... Sorry to digress, but I kind of like the system a bit more now, with serious managers, etc...

My earnings, no matter how small, are divided into 3 pots: (a)Safe investments (b) Risky investments (including HODLING) (c) My play money. My play money can end up at the sponsor's site very easily

Quite a classic, now the Betis has to measure with Levante and Sevilla with Real Valladolid. It seems to me that both these teams should have an easy time beating the rivals, however the odds will reflect that. Anything better than 2 to 5 in favour of the rival calls for a bet on either of these.

On a previous post , I spoke about Google and Facebook having a row with Apple due to the segmentation limits that Apple is implementing.

Apple has its own problems due to the extortionate (IMO) rates that it charges for any payment done in Appstore applications. This does not only apply to the purchase in an app, but also to any in-app purchase. EPIC games, quite a giant on the field, filled a suit on regards to this practice.


Google announced that they will no longer support third party cookies., which puts them at odds with most of the independent add analytic and serving services.

The row is notoriously public now between Microsoft and Google. Nowadays, internet adds are a must for most business. And nowadays, there are very limited alternatives to Google. Microsoft is arguing that Google has a monopolistic control of on-line advertisements and they have also applauded the move by Australia on regards to having Google and Facebook pay the media outlets and to implement something similar in the US..

It seems cynic that Microsoft, who abused and still abuses a dominant position to channel through Windows their apps and cloud services, are now complaining that someone else has the upper hand on the on-line add market, yet the gauntlet has been thrown in the political arena in US, up to the point that , thus on a direct attempt to hurt his rival in the search add space.

It seems that all big tech have reached the point in which they need to grow into each other spaces an a times comes in which the future - dystopic maybe? - is going to be shaped for the street guy internet user.

No te pongo más mérito pq ya me da un poco de apuro,pero vamos q es una respuesta perfecta y me ha ayudado.

Como la mayoria de los q hemos pasado por aqui algun tiempo, he visto tanto en mi perfil como en distintas partes del foro referencias al sistema de confianza o "trust". En principio entiendo q el trust se basa en haber cumplido compromisos con otros miembros del foro, sobre todo en terminos de devolver prestamos o cumplir con servicios. Veo ademas q hay autenticas batallas campales incluso entre miembros muy antiguos del foro, en las q se cruzan todo tipo de acusaciones.

Por otra parte, creo q Theymos hizo algunos cambios al sistema de confianza y cada cual puede elegir quien esta en su sistema de confianza, etc. 

Lo que quisiera es que en mi perfil hubiera algo de trust positivo, que fuera generalmente reconocido y, por supuesto, legitimamente obtenido. Lo que no quiero es meterme en ningun tipo de pelea en la seccion de reputacion porque no tengo tiempo ni ganas de dedicarme a la politica, ni de tratar con miembros q puedan tener fama de irascibles.

Algunas ideas?

En serio?  Correos privados en una hoja de excel? Se me ocurren no menos de tres formas de sacar dinero simplemente conociendo la direccion de alguien. Y para los pocos q seguro q se molestan en leer esto: NUNCA DES UN CORREO QUE ESTES USANDO EN PAYPAL.

Perdon por las mayusculas, pero es super-facil q te metan en un problema si lo haces, a mi me lo intentaron hacer.

Can 14-odd years be called history? Perhaps, but in any case it feel a bit like so due to the speed of the expansion of Cryptocurrencies. I felt like doing something to celebrate this non-birthday party, so there you go:




If you wonder what is that last picture, see here. The price is now different

Is not dead, but it has changed. All serious projects only accept quality posting and use campaign managers of superb reputation, which are driving the right posting behaviours. You should actually be saying in your post "I have noticed a general better quality of posts", that is, if you care about it.

That of course has a lot to do with the decision to avoid the massive and artificial bumping of threads.

Don't pay taxes = go to jail
Don't get married = fine, but if you intend to live with someone or have kids you still have financial responsibilities
Don't use banks = That's fine, but you cannot yet buy everything with bitcoin and your fiat under the chimney is at risk of being stolen.
Don't invest = That is fine, but inflation will eat you fiat savings. I suggest you learn about Value Investing. (See problem "not everything can yet be bought with bitcoin)
Don't get a job = invalid without an alternative source of income.

Are you starting to see some potential flaws to your happiness strategy?

Creo q en este caso es arte digital de un autor bastante conocido. La verdad es q la obra de esta persona es bastante interesante, sin ser yo un critico de arte le veo mucho merito. Esta me gusta, es potente y dice mucho de la sociedad y del juicio humano.

I just read some playing advise regarding Texas- hold'em. The blog says that to stand a better chance to win you should bluff very little times and only go ahead with hands in which you have a good starting combination such as:


If you follow this strategy, you would play very little hands, which may get a bit boring. However, the strategy can be extended to play more hands to the "top 15"


Has anyone tried an strategy of limiting the hands? How didi it go?

When betting you should try to be as rational as possible and always enjoy and have fun, if you start think about why I loose and thinking is your fate is probably the moment to call it a day and come back tomorrow. Games are designed for the house to have a gain and even when you play with others, chances are that you will be loosing. Do not try to irrationalise what is simply the way the game works.

There is one exception: you may not be maximising your chances because you are playing sloppily or do not understand enough about the game. In that case is not your fate, is that you need to learn the basics.

You have good reasons to be sceptic in general, but there are places and places. Some edgy sites, too recent or that want to make just quick profit may try to benefit from such as strategy as fake players, however that eventually drives the customers out. The usual legitimate odds and methods are more than enough to drive the right profit from a betting platform, so for the old and well stablished ones there is no need to cheat.
