Ultimately it is @Theymos who banned mixer advertisements in the forum and it is his responsibility to decide whether a non-KYC exchange should be allowed to start a signature campaign.
The interpretation should be

"If a service is not allowed by forum rules, it will be banned here completely, not only restricted to a signature campaign or a banner advertisement (suspended about two years ago)."

Things are different nowadays because with new forum rules on privacy, mixers, non-KYC exchanges, both the service, their brand account and all types of advertisement in the forum, will be banned in batch.

MetaWin's native token is MWIN which is yet to be launched. ROCKY has been created as fun (named after the dog of MetaWin's owner). It has been created as a meme token but the response from the community is huge. Unfortunate that I missed the earlier announcement, otherwise, it could be a huge ROI if invested.
I did not know there is a token like ROCKY launched by the MetaWin team too and missed the superb good opportunity.

With the MWIN point system to launch, it will help Metawin users who are actively use the platform, will accumulate points and get chance for MWIN token airdrop in future. I believe the MWIN point system serves for the interaction, usage assessment of users, which will be used later for token claim and distribution.

I think my choose of word might have gotten my message confusing or complicated.
Indeed, it is like you guessed. You did not express your opinion to OP clearly enough, somewhat it is misleading.

Quote
What I wanted the OP to understand is after the 2FA must have been deactivated the seed phrase would hold two master private keys that will be used to consign a transaction and as such that wallet security is same as a single seed wallet because just one seed phrase is needed to recover both wallet not like a standard multi sig wallet that requires two or seed phrase. Also the 2FA deactivated wallet will be expensive in terms of transaction fee which is bad considering it doesn’t have extra layer of security, so the best thing is to just transfer to a single seed wallet or a standard multi sig wallet
2FA wallet is a multisig wallet and with a multisig wallet, you always have to pay more transaction fee than a single signature wallet.

The difference between multisig 2FA wallet with a multisig wallet is with 2FA, you will have to pay more expensive transaction fee because of extra charged fee from Trusted coin (for 2FA). With a Multisig wallet, you control what you do if you are controlling all cosigners or other cosigners who control private keys; no cosigners have to rely on Trusted coin.

Agreed, this is the weakness of human being whose  memory is vulnerable to deceases, hard accidents and senility.

Thus, I'm in the process of development of the inheritance plan, just for above reason.
I know you are very technical man, more than me, and I believe you knew about these risk very well. There are public cases like CEO of an exchange years ago suddenly died and he is the only one who control treasury of that exchange. Maybe more cases like this, I could not remember them all, from business level to family or individual level.

With individuals, they can learn from Hal Finney who has a chronic disease and prepare for his wife to inherit his Bitcoin private keys and bitcoins. You can do the same for ones you love, wife/ husbands, children, ...

[1] Crypto CEO dies holding the only passwords that can unlock millions in customer coins

PSG can be relied on to win the bet in this match. Mbappe will try hard to bring PSG through but I don't dare say it can happen because Dortmund is also targeting being able to play in the final because they won the UEFA Champions League trophy in 1996/1997, beating Juventus.
It's finished and PSG failed. It's not their match even they did created many chances and came very close to a goal or even more than a goal. 4 shots that are very close to goals for PSG and Dortmund have to say thanks to Mr. Luck that supports them in the match.

It's destiny of PSG in this season and it's clearly that luckiness is important in their failures against Dortmund in two semi final matches. However, they must recognize that they did wasted many opportunities and try to improve their players in the summer.

I believe with PSG, their ambition is high and they will aim at another Champions League final match and try to win a first Champions League for their club. PSG with two defeats by Dortmund, just made a bad record as a worst club in Champions League semi final matches. So far they lost 5 semi final matches and only won one against Leipzig years ago.

If the previous ETC bull run repeats, that will be a very nice profit.
I can not disagree  Cheesy

There are many scam Bitcoin forks but BCH was a very good win for Bitcoin holders. Soon after the fork, the price of Bitcoin Cash went up to $3,785. Bitcoin's price during the fork was 2800$. Now imagine how easy it was to hold tens of Bitcoins in 2017 and how profitable BCH airdrop would be, money was made out of thin air, by holding BTC.
Back in 2017, before the fork, there was massive uncertainty on the market and wars of many mining pools and supporters on different BIPs. At the end, the biggest fork is BCH and you are right that BCH fork used to make a lot of uncertainty on the market, that if it is not the 'main' Bitcoin, why its price was so high. It triggered greed in many people but who sold BTC to buy BCH actually lost a lot of money and sure, lost their bitcoins too.

It seems so, I guess the SHFL airdrop take a big part on the massive increase of wagering at Shuffle.
Another thing can be their contest like the weekly raffle may also one of the some other things that increase the wagering volume.
I'm sure it will be increased more and more since Shuffle is improving regularly since the first day.
I'm saying this not merely because I'm a part of their signature campaign but I'll always say based on what I see.
Sounds like there is something interesting for airdrop receivers to wager the token directly on Shuffle platform. Like they possibly will get some potential big benefit if they are on top of most wagering users.

Did I miss any contest of Shuffle team on SHFL token wagering?

I don't know reasons they are actively wager with the token but the team actually do good strategy to avoid token to be dump on the market and reduce selling pressure from airdrop receivers.

This shows that my withdrawal address was changed  by someone other than me and then changed back recently this should be impossible for me to do on my end
If your account is compromised, you can go ahead to open a support ticket and request the FreeBitco.in team to temporarily lock your account by security reasons.

Then, you have to clean up your devices, before doing required account recovery steps from Freebitco.in team. If your device is still infected, recover your account will not help anything because it will be compromised again.
49  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: The transfer fee on: May 07, 2024, 10:26:55 AM
You need to know that without transferring your bitcoin to a single standard wallet your transaction fee will be higher and seed phrase security is still same as a single standard seed phrase
You wrote something confusing!

Seed phrase is seed phrase and security of seed phrase is different than security of a multisig (multi signature) wallet.

If you use a single signature wallet, your wallet security will depends on how its seed phrase is generated and the password you use to encrypt that wallet file.

If you use a multisig wallet, with like 2 /2 or 2/3 co-signers, to sign and proceed a transaction, its security will increase because to hack and steal bitcoins in that multisig wallet, hacker must hack your two wallets, not only one.

It's good that you learned somehow and came to Bitcoincore.org website to download Bitcoin Core. Bitcoin is a decentralized project and its source code can be stored on many websites. Download it from Bitcoincore.org is good but you need to verify the downloaded file before using it.

1. How to enable pruning
It's easy and I recall that Bitcoin Core software will give you a default setting for prune node when you install the wallet software the first time.

2. Is it necessary to run the full node?
It's easy but you need to have enough disk space, RAM and your processor.

Many questions and technical answers are there.

I can ask, How many years of life have you planned for yourself??
Different people have different ages, social-economic status and more so they have different needs in their life and must have different plans for their future.

The young can think too far but the elderly can not because they know their time is ticking down.

Quote
What people write here about simple hoarding without a goal really upsets me. We must live now, travel now, and not save for old age, when nothing is needed.
It's classic but your post is excellent as a reminder. People can not live without spending and if they see some needs to buy anything, have a trip, whatever that can help them to enjoy their life, have better life quality, they should do it.

If to do this, they must sell their bitcoins, cash out some of their bitcoins, they can do it without fear. We will all die and become dust so let's enjoy our life in unique ways for each person, but just don't HODL.

That is an interesting article which is different than usual articles on cointetegraph (with low quality), I like it. Even this is not new, the writer of this article actually did spent time to get information and made informative charts for readers.

You can get information on inactive UTXOs and make your own estimates.

Quote
My questions are the following:
1. People who own hundreds and thousands of Bitcoins, where do they trade?
They can choose
  • OTC market
  • CEX without KYC, they must do their sale very slowly to avoid price impacts
  • CEX with KYC, with high trading volume, it's more easier to take profit.

Don't feel so cool with estimate on possible lost bitcoins (because it is an estimate only) or feel disappointed if some old era like Satoshi era bitcoins wake up.
Lost coins only make everyone else's coins worth slightly more.  Think of it as a donation to everyone.
We don't know how many bitcoins actually lost, forever, but we know one thing, there is donation to us by people who lost bitcoins!
53  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 05, 2024, 07:50:06 PM
It is an interesting match going on currently between Roma and Juventus, and Roma have dominated the match, not just that Lukaku was able to break the deadlock on the 15th minutes of the match. Roma is seeing the loop holes in Juventus and they are using it as an advantage over Juventus.

The champions league is not sure yet for either Roma and Juventus because Juventus is only 6 points ahead of Roma, and if Roma wins this match, they will be three points behind Juventus which becomes a big threat fro them. I will not be happy if Juventus did not qualify to UCL because they caused it themselves.

Roma 1-0 Juve
The first half ended as 1 - 1 for Roma and Juventus and this is not a good result for Roma. Roma don't actually care too much about catching Juventus as their nearest target is Bologna and secure their fifth position. They are facing with stress from Atalanta and will have a direct match with Atalanta next weekend.

Roma have nothing different than trying to win against Juventus and aiming at a second final match with Leverkusen in Europa League. Juventus will not give Roma three points easily but I believe Roma will not easily accept only a draw in this match. They know about risk of falling down too much in Serie A and lose a ticket to Champions League.

Latest substitution from Roma: Dybala out, Zalewski in. With this change as preparation for Europa League next three days, I start to doubt that Roma can win this match.
54  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🚀-Sportsbet.io-🚀 Official Partner of Newcastle United Football Club on: May 05, 2024, 05:59:41 PM
Newcastle did their job. Now let's at least make the season a good one and give them a fighting chance for Europa by beating Spurs (Spurs will probably be shit in Europa anyway).
Newcastle United are still four points less than Tottenham and this season in Premier League has only three match days. Three more matches for both Newcastle United and Tottenham to decide what club will take the fifth position. Tottenham will have one big match with Manchester City and they likely will lose that match. We can assume Newcastle United will take advantage of that defeat from Tottenham and make a reduction of point gap to only 1.

1 point more or less between two clubs when the season is counting down last two matches, it's not easy. It looks a small gap but in reality, it's big to cover after only 1 or 2 matches.

I remember the time when ETH was 50$, I could buy it but I didn't and now I regret it.
It was in 2017 and I used to mine ETH too. When ETH started to soar, it was very profitable for miners but it did not last too long.

Who missed ETH can buy ETC, not financial advice but if they are doubtful about it, they can look at the parabolic curve of ETC in last bull run. They still have time to load ETC to their portfolio.

I remember how everyone who was holding Bitcoins, got an equivalent number of coins (Bitcoin Cash).
And other scam Bitcoin forks too.

Quite crazy indeed Haaland got 4 goals in the match against the wolves yesterday, I think he was not so well guarded by the Wolves defense which made him go crazy again
If an opponent does not have a good defender and proper defensive tactics to block Haaland, he will be a very dangerous striker if he receives good passes from his team mates. If Haaland faces with a strong defender like Rüdiger of Real Madrid, he will be useless for Manchester City. It is biggest weakness of Haaland in this season and he must improve himself more.

Arsenal's hope may be in the Tottenham vs Manchester City match in two weeks, but in this match Haaland scored 4 goals, now he is getting away from the top scorer. Grin
That match will be biggest hope for Arsenal among last three matches of Manchester City in this season but with latest performances from Tottenham, it's hard for them to avoid a loss under Manchester City.

Even a draw against Manchester City will be out of reach for Tottenham but Arsenal only can hope and put all of their belief on Spurs as their last hope to win Premier League this season. Manchester City don't need to play sexy football and win big, they only need three winnings like 1 - 0, 1 - 0 and 1 - 0 to take a crown.

Here you go with the updated list, I don't update the chart because it is a small change, only 100 more sourced merits within 30 days. Totally, there are 109 merit sources now which are less than the ATH of total sources around 130 in mid and late of 2019 BUT there are more sourced merit each 30 days now.


Did I understand correctly that currently, 109 users are merit sources?
No, I did meant that there are 109 merit sources now after one new source added recently but there is only 100 additional sourced merit to total smerit monthly (30 days). It increases from 32890 to 32990.

However, Manchester City vs Wolves, it will be very difficult for Manchester City to draw against Wolves since not all their top players are fit to play against Manchester City. But the only chance Wolves have to draw with Manchester City is to play the defensive game because is it not easy to prevent Manchester City from scoring goals.
The result is already 2 - 0 for Manchester City and with this temporary result, I see Manchester City will win this match. The opponent is weaker and don't have solid reasons to fight in this match. Arsenal are upset with this result but they have to accept and wait for another match. 2 more matches for Arsenal and 3 more matches for Manchester City, then we will see who is the champion of Premier League 2023 - 2024.

Haaland scored two goals so far and he will chase one more goal to complete his hat trick. Chance for Wolverhampton to score two goals and equalize the match is very small and nearly impossible with domination of Manchester City.
60  Other / Meta / Re: Merit source observations on: May 04, 2024, 05:03:41 PM
I think the list has been updated. I checked again yesterday and am still confirming this morning that there has been one merit source added to the list, which now makes it a total of 109 merit sources from the previous 108, which was last time.
 
And judging from the Bpip data , there is a high possibility that the new approved moderator to the Nigerian local board could be the new merit source.
Thanks.
