^ Rofl damn... The guy got skillz and it's very impressive. Now imagine him and a guy like him in Asia who's running an industrial sybil farm. I don't think these projects stand a chance, even with a very thorough sybil hunt like what Layer Zero did. Thing is there is no way to hunt sybils, sybils can mimick genuine user's behaviour (as the guy mentioned above) and get deemed same by project, and when project filters sybils, plenty genuine ((if they are any left  ) users are going to get left out. This tricky situation and there is no proper solution IMO. Anyway, you guys got any testnets that possibly could get an airdrop? I'm tapped out... Lolol. My perp longs are now gone and the stables I got left are all in Hyperliquid memecoins. Lolol.  I'm doing Initia testnet because it looked interesting, but it's already in week 6, it'll be hard to rank in leaderboard now. A true sophisticated airdrop farmer, you might find this interesting: https://x.com/k1z4_Context: Guy farmed ZkSync airdrop with 350 wallets, you will find all hows on his Twitter handle above. Was hoping to see zksync's response tbh. 350 account!! really mindblowing I'm 100% sure he has a team and honestly he's smart enough to do that and succeed from that, I'm not sure if I'm able to follow in his footsteps but I applaud his hard work because it's not easy to manage 350 airdrop livestock accounts He's alone, but he's smart enough and is passionate. Ah yeah... I did Initia for a couple of weeks but then they started requiring everybody to get at least a Gitcoin score of 20. But I got a measly three points. Lol. So I stopped... I mean I could KYC thru Civic and another site in Gitcoin but for a testnet that might not even be a good airdrop, I decided against it. But if t's an airdrop worth 5k then I'll def do it. |

'Solved games
NLHE 6 max cash'
Lol no... As much as GTO takes away your opponent's edge against you if you could do it well, NLHE 6 max cash games are far from solved. The games are tighter for sure, but def not solved.
And aren't these things part of prohibited software while running the poker site's software side by side? I think those sites have something running that detect prohbited software. Not sure about Ignition tho.
Anyway, if you could make a solver for OFCP Pineapple, I think that could make you some good money.
Edit: Typos.

I saw on Twitter that Sainz posted a story in Instagram I think, or a simila social media.
He wrote " we will see again in 2025 Barcelona" Or something like that.
This means he already have a deal for the next year with someone.
Small rumors about about Alpine interest in him, but he is cooking something.
Alpine would be the perfect destination for Sainz or any other driver who needs a seat as there are words going around that Ocon and Gasly aren't the best of friends anymore. Lol. Rumor says it's one about a girl. Women... They always break bros apart.  As for this weekend's quali, there could be value on either McLaren to get pole at 3.75. It's really starting to look like they have the better car this year. |

^ I had an inkling that Volkov could win the match. Wasn't confident enough to bet on it tho. In this last card I lost big bets on Walker, he is not playing with a good strategy and this is leaving him vulnerable in all the confrontations all the time. I hope he can change this soon.
I was leaning on Walker to win too. He's faster, bigger, stronger, has the powerrr to starch most guys at 205. But that chin... Lol. From a betting perspective you just can't trust it. Imho it looks that Volkov deserves to be #3 more than Pavlovich. The more I look on Pavlovich performance, the more he reminds me of a Lesnar who could only push forward and have strength. What we saw from him last fight? Majority of attacks were straight. 2 punch combo of jab and overhand. Even his team between 2nd and 3rd rounds pause told him that he must do at least 3 strike combos. If Pavlovich faces a technician fighter next, lets say Gane, he would be beaten easily. Volkov on the other hand has advanced from base karateka, to showing grappling. Also social media noted, that Volkov fough all 3 rounds as a southpaw, when he was orthodox previous 47 rounds About Walker - soon we could make a compilation of Walker being knocked down and fall in strange and weird stance  Yeah.. Before seeing him vs Aspinall, I thought he could be next to go fight vs Jon Jones... But after Aspinall and an Aspinall at short notice, I think yeah you're right. He kinda lacks the skill to beat some of the top guys at heavyweight. I mean not taking away anything against him. I still think Pav is a tough dude like all Russian fighters are in the UFC, just needs a little bit more experience. Here's another Embedded vid. UFC 303: Embedded Episode 2https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JogJB55sH0And yeah funny how Walker's body goes straight when he gets starched. |

I haven't been watching the Euros closely this year but just from first glance, I have a hunch that Portugal and England could make it far up to at least the semis... Dunno but I feel like Gareth Southgate and Roberto Martinez are the lucky ones. I fancy them to go to the final if their paths don't meet in the Round of 16, quarter finals or the semi finals. And for the lulz, made a small net on a 4 leg parlay with England, France, Belgium and Portugal at 3.79. |

Disappointed on not seeing any drop of rain today.
Lando lost the race in the 1st turn today, not because he lost the position to Max but her went behind Russell and he lost so much time behind him.
Ferrari can leave this car and already thinking about next year.
And soon the war between Lecler and Sainz will start...
Yeah... McLaren is looking like they have the best car as the season rolls along. But they need a good driver to handle it. I think Sainz could be a good second driver for them. Dunno about you guys tho. 2024 F1 Spanish GP Race Highlightshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojUQLuSqV4sAnyway, on to the next. Another race I like... Austria!

Ok... Not sure how long it will last, maybe until the season 2 points campaign is over... But Hyperliquid spot market seems like a good place to park some money as most of the memecoins over there habe just started to trend up. I'm also not sure if I'm go a jinx it after this post. Lolol. Might start to go the other way for all I know. But yeah, if you have a small bankroll, it'll be a decent move. Stay away from PURR tho. Perp traders who airdropped PURR are dumping it to maintain funding of their perp longs. Ouch.. |

Did anybody watch the match between Shara Magomedov and Antonio Trocoli? Trocoli won R1 and was grappling with Magomedov who defended well but wasn't able to get away either. R2 was even but by R3 Trocoli got way too tired and got KO'd by Magomedov. And if you guys didn't know, Trocoli took the fight on very short notice and performed really well for the first couple of rounds. Oh... And at R2 Magomedov fence grabbed which the ref didn't call out. It would've taken him down for sure. Now if it's vs Bo Nickal with a full camp I'm pretty sure he takes Magomedov down amd gets it doen via GnP. Anyway... On to the next event. Date: Saturday, June 29 Main Card (PPV): 10:00pm EST Preliminary Card (ESPN/ESPN+): 8:00pm EST Early Prelims (ESPN+/Fight Pass): 6:15pm EST Venue: T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada Live Streams:  Main Card (PPV)Light Heavyweight: Alex Pereira vs Jiri Prochazka Featherweight: Brian Ortega vs Diego Lopes Light Heavyweight: Anthony Smith vs Roman Dolidze Women's Bantamweight: Mayra Bueno Silva vs Macy Chiasson Welterweight: Ian Machado Garry vs Michael Page Preliminary Card (ESPN/ESPN+)Middleweight: Joe Pyfer vs Marc Andre Barriault Featherweight: Cub Swanson vs Andre Fili Featherweight: Charles Jourdain vs Jean Silva Bantamweight: Payton Talbott vs Yanis Ghemmouri Early Prelims (ESPN+/UFC Fight Pass)Women's Strawweight: Michelle Waterson Gomez vs Gillian Robertson Heavyweight: Andrei Arlovski vs Martin Buday Flyweight: Rei Tsuruya vs Carlos Hernandez Bantamweight: Ricky Simon vs Vinicius Oliveira |

^ But we should prolly also think about the amount of fees paid. I'm not really sure how much I paid but some people say that they didn't really get much after fees. But dunno... I mostly used Stargate from Arbitrum to Base and vice versa with some Optimism mixed in...
And I also noticed that my Stargate transactions thru Jumper didn't show in my eligibility sheet. Not sure but maybe I'll be getting some extra airdrops thru RFP.

With the new front wing and seeing how threatening it could be for Red Bull, just judging from their reaction, I think Mercedes could be onto something that could alter the table this season. There could be a loophole found and Toto Wolff and the Merc engineers aim to exploit it. So they're prolly ahead by a couple or three GP's with this loophole before the other teams catch up. And then again, some of them could even never catch up.
... And what's this about Verstappen talks swirling around that he could leave Red Bull and join Mercedes?
Yeah I agree, let's not underestimate Mercedes especially during qualifying session at the weekend.  That was some solid progress in Canada thanks to that front wing upgrade. When it comes to Verstappen, those are just rumours for now. The only thing Verstappen has said so far is that he would always like to drive for the fastest car on the grid. So he is leaving the door open for any probability.
By the way have you seen this? https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/mercedes-calls-in-police-over-anonymous-hamilton-f1-sabotage-email/10625689/An anonymous email was sent to a certain list of F1 and media people. The email said that Mercedes sabotaged Hamilton's car. Mercedes called in police for the case and I hope there isn't such thing happened for real.  Yeah... But I'm not sure if the rain will help them more or not. At first glance I think it could hurt them more than not but then again the rain takes away some of the advantages of the guys ahead of them like Red Bull and McLaren. But look at this. Ferrari ahead at FP3! This should be an interesting quali as it looks like Ferrari had some upgrades of their own.  2024 F1 Spanish GP FP3 Results1 Carlos Sainz ESP Scuderia Ferrari 1m13.013s 2 Lando Norris GBR McLaren F1 Team 1m13.043s 3 Charles Leclerc MON Scuderia Ferrari 1m13.050s 4 Max Verstappen NED Oracle Red Bull Racing 1m13.087s 5 George Russell GBR Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team 1m13.164s 6 Lewis Hamilton GBR Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team 1m13.359s 7 Sergio Perez MEX Oracle Red Bull Racing 1m13.723s 8 Alex Albon THA Williams Racing 1m13.753s 9 Fernando Alonso ESP Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team 1m13.786s 10 Oscar Piastri AUS McLaren F1 Team 1m13.907s 11 Esteban Ocon FRA BWT Alpine F1 Team 1m13.950s 12 Pierre Gasly FRA BWT Alpine F1 Team 1m13.964s 13 Nico Hulkenberg GER MoneyGram Haas F1 Team 1m13.975s 14 Valtteri Bottas FIN Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber 1m14.024s 15 Kevin Magnussen DEN MoneyGram Haas F1 Team 1m14.074s 16 Daniel Ricciardo AUS Visa Cash App RB F1 Team 1m14.161s 17 Lance Stroll CAN Aston Martin Aramco F1 Team 1m14.254s 18 Yuki Tsunoda JPN Visa Cash App RB F1 Team 1m14.420s 19 Zhou Guanyu CHN Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber 1m14.572s 20 Logan Sargeant USA Williams Racing 1m14.729s Ferrari to get quali is at 5.00 and Merc is at 12.00.

Uh... I can't speak for how the UFC should run their business because they've been very successful... But isn't it also because the UFC doesn't think they are good enough?
The UFC had had the first-mover advantage in the US and used that very well. So they established themselves as the most prestigious mma organisation in the world. But it's not a secret that to make good money in the UFC you have to get to the very top. Fighters from other organisations being set up to sign up with the UFC and pulling out after seeing how little the UFC offers them is not uncommon.
Any final thoughts/predictions on tomorrow's event? I think 100% prepared Aliskerov would have what it takes to defeat Whittaker, but how well prepared will he be given the very short notice is a big question mark. Pavlovich will likely destroy Volkov, unless he suffered some trauma from the Aspinall's KO and has lost his confidence. I'm curious on how will Sharabutdin Magomedov (one-eyed, ginger Dagestani) perform this time. He was being hyped as the next big thing, but he wasn't that dominant in his UFC debut against Bruno Silva. He's still 12-0 with 83% KO rate, so that's something. Nope, that's not totally it. I mean sure the UFC has first mover advantage but they still organize the best events in MMA, the rest are just the B leagues imho. You just see it when you watch the UFC then watch Bellator or the PFL. The organization that I love watching besides the UFC is ONE FC. But then again, still not as good as the UFC. As for the event later, my leans are Xiao, Gadzhiyasulov, Kang, Dalby, Lima, Haqparast, Walker, Magomedov, Gastelum, Volkov, Whittaker. As for the weigh ins, everybody made weight... Robert Whittaker (186) vs Ikram Aliskerov (184) Sergei Pavlovich (260) vs Alexander Volkov (258) Kelvin Gastelum (184.5) vs Daniel Rodriguez (184) Shara Magomedov (185.5) vs Antonio Trocoli (185.5) Volkan Oezdemir (206) vs Johnny Walker (206) Jared Gordon (156) vs Nasrat Haqparast (156) Felipe Lima (145.5) vs Muhammad Naimov (145.5) Nicolas Dalby (171) vs Rinat Fakhretdinov (170.5) Muin Gafurov (136) vs Kyung Ho Kang (136) Magomed Gadzhiyasulov (205) vs Brendson Ribeiro (205) ChangHo Lee (136) vs Xiao Long (136) |

Right now all of them would jump at the chance of becoming manager of Manchester United but they will have to wait because Ten Hag managed to hold on to his job What are your thoughts on the opening Premier League games of the 2024/25 season? Chelsea vs Manchester City will provide an early test of what Chelsea are capable of doing (or not doing) when they face the Premier League champions. And come to think of it, United does have options like Zidane, maybe Allegri, Nagelsmann or even Poch... The question is do they want the job... Lol. Not too excited for Chelsea vs Man City tbh. I mean with Chlesea still struggling and all... And who is Chelsea's new manager again? Lol. But yeah, I'd like to watch West Ham vs Aston Villa. That should be a decent match up with unpredictable results, tho Aston Villa could be the favorite. Another fixture I'd like to watch is Brentford vs Crystal Palace. I'd like to see Brentford's new player acquisition who they splashed the cash for. They broke the club record for cash spent on an acquisition. It's weird for a club like them as they follow something like a money ball philosophy in player transfers. |

We are closing in on the race weekend... For now weather says it might rain on Sunday but only in the morning which is bad news for us. Catalunya track is already not the greatest for overtaking so some rain drops would be nice. Anyway do you think we would continue to see some competition? Or would we see a classic Verstappen domination? I hope to see a different result in qualifying once again. Currently Verstappen is favoured by 1.66 and the closest one is Norris @6.00. I'm quite surprised that Leclerc is given 10.00 odds, not even close to Norris. I would prefer Norris or Leclerc to betting on Verstappen @1.66. With the new front wing and seeing how threatening it could be for Red Bull, just judging from their reaction, I think Mercedes could be onto something that could alter the table this season. There could be a loophole found and Toto Wolff and the Merc engineers aim to exploit it. So they're prolly ahead by a couple or three GP's with this loophole before the other teams catch up.

^ Whittaker is 33, not that old but not that you either. A couple more years and we see guys like Bo Nickal dominate. I think he'll be champ before 2025 ends. ^ That's why, I think the UFC should match up Chim and Rakhmonov, either 170 or 185 for both will be fine and get them into a 5 round prospect vs prospect bout. I don't think Chim will last three rounds imho.
As for the main event this weekend, I fear for Whittaker. His durability could be questionable after seeing what DDP did to him. And before that there were some spots in other spots when he got wobbled a bit.
The UFC needs to stop fawning over old fighters and start adding new talent from everywhere they can because the pool of good fighters is literally closing. Bring in the new talent, give them a good contract and let it all happen. Wdym fawning? Lol. I think everybody should watch Dana White's Contender Series... That's what you guys are missing. These guys who went in the UFC through DCWS are some of MMA's rising talents and current 135 champ Sean O'Malley got in the UFC through DCWS. Can't get any better than that imho. The UFC needs to stop fawning over old fighters and start adding new talent from everywhere they can because the pool of good fighters is literally closing. Bring in the new talent, give them a good contract and let it all happen.
I think that good idea because so far almost all the titles in each class have always been held by old fighters, and not all of those who are challengers can show truly dramatic fights in fighting for the title. Indeed, some of the top fighters in their respective classes can always show great fights, but apart from the best fighters with main card fights, none of them look great, there are several other events that the UFC can actually take advantage of to have several new fighters. But so far they have made efforts to select fighters who are worthy of getting place on contract with the UFC, some time ago there were even several fighters from Asia who tried to get into the UFC but I don't know how it went because I didn't follow it. Presence of new fighters will create much hotter sensation, especially if they are great new fighters and are able to show success in every fight. I think maybe Dana is thinking about this too but on the other hand he won't give out contracts and bring in fighters he doesn't think are worthy, Dana will always take the best to be here. UFC has rejected lots of top talents since last year. Cedric Doumbe is a champ lowballed by Dana, PFL outbid UFC. https://www.sportskeeda.com/mma/dana-white-fumbled-bag-cedric-doumbe-exploring-ufc-s-missed-chance-pfl-event-sells-less-half-hourSalahdine Parnasse, resigned from KSW, and UFC didn't offer enough money. https://www.mmamania.com/2024/6/18/24181487/top-free-agent-double-champion-declined-ufc-offer-was-between-20-30-times-less-than-new-ksw-dealPaul Hughes, Cage Warriors champ. PFL also offered more when his contract was free. UFC offered him before PFL. He was lowballed by UFC again. https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/paul-hughes-explains-choosing-pfl-013026408.htmlUFC is still waiting for fighters who can fight cheaply but want fame. That's what UFC offers. It's true though, they can make UFC a big star overnight with a grand flashy entrance to the octagon. Uh... I can't speak for how the UFC should run their business because they've been very successful... But isn't it also because the UFC doesn't think they are good enough? |

^ Yup... And Layer Zero was supposed to be the biggest of them all. The sybil hunt, supposedly bringing all what they got back to 'real' users turned out to be one of the most disappointing airdrops ever. I think it's over for now guys... All airdrops seem to be massively over farmed. The airdrops left could not be worth it or the devs don't want to airdrop anymore.
I guess it will be a good thing since it will make sybils leave and all will be left will be the real users.

And it could also be possible that United can't find another manager good enough to replace Ten Hag. I thought about this after reading your post. There really is not a huge pool of established managers with a proven track record to choose from right now and maybe that played a part in stopping Ten Hag from getting the sack. I would be inclined to think that he will be sacked next season if they do not finish at least as runners-up or champions in the Premier League. Anything else probably will not suffice. Oh for sure he'll get the sack if there are no improvements next season. And yeah, I totally agree. If they don't get the FA Cup and at least second spot in the league, then Ten Hag will be given the sack. If they win the FA Cup, the United brass will prolly be ok with top 4 in the league. If they win the UCL trophy by some miracle then for sure he doesn't go away.. Doesn't matter where United ends up in the league. And come to think of it, United does have options like Zidane, maybe Allegri, Nagelsmann or even Poch... The question is do they want the job... Lol. |

Wow... After everything..All the antcipation, all the talks that swirled around that Layer Zero could be the 'big one', all the sybil hunts to give more tokens to the 'real users' of the project... It turned out to be the most disappointing airdrops that I've tried to get into. But what could they really do. LZ was farmed by sybils to the tits and they really didn't have any choice but to get stingy to prevent a huge sell down on ZRO... We should be trying to look for under farmed projects now. And the only way to keep them under farmed is to keep them to yourself. Edit: Typos. |
