4001  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Another Exchange got hacked on: April 14, 2020, 02:23:50 PM
Another crypto exchange got hacked and this time the victim is Bisq, a trading platform that has temporarily ceased all its trading services that unfortunately cost users at least $250,000 in digital funds, ~
This is old news, the hack happened a few days ago. The Bisq devs were able to fix the flaw and the exchange is already back in operation. 
For those looking for the full story, here's the article https://www.coindesk.com/hacker-exploits-flaw-in-decentralized-exchange-bisq-to-steal-250k

Thank you.
You saved me the time and effort to go through all the searching that is needed just to make sure this is real.
I hope I still have Smerits so I can give you some, but sadly I don't.
But I will be back at you later if ever I will receive some.

So it had been fixed but there is still a problem which takes away some of their customers.

Quote
In most cases of an exchange hack, the attacker can be booted off the trading platform for good. Not so with Bisq. One of the DEX's associated developers told CoinDesk that although the flaw was fixed, there was nothing to prevent the attacker – whose identity cannot be known – from accessing and trading on the platform again.

A saddened news just been entered few hours ago.
KAT mother, Jacqueline Crus dies after lengthy battle with coronavirus.

Man. Thoughts and prayers up to KAT's and to entire Towns family.

https://twitter.com/Twolves_PR/status/1249786661812215808

Oh God. This is a sad news. Well, I hope KAT is okay and also his family.

Remember guys, whoever is infected by this virus. Be positive as always and think like it is just another flu.
That is how I see doctors taking care of their patients. Hydrate yourselves as always, lemon with honey is also better.

I was really pulling for her. After that I posted it here or read about the incident.

What's most heartbreaking is she died more likely not having anyone on her side, man.

Fuck corona virus.
Yeah, that is the freaking bad side about it.
Recently, someone talked to me about that.

What if a kid had it?
The kid will be forced to stay alone in a quarantine room with nobody around. No Mom or Dad in his side to tell everything will be alright.
It breaks my heart. I won't freaking leave my kid alone in some hospital room.
Just the thought of my kid being scared alone will kill me already from heart attack.

Afterwards, they are going to burn it like nothing happened. Freaking virus.
This became a shitty year for everything.

Hello guys.

So I have really watched a lot of film again for 1 month and I bumped into something really great.
There is no script about bitcoin or blockchain but it is about cryptography.

After I watched the film I have a lot of question in my mind.
Started to wiki the person behind it and then all of a sudden tries to think about Satoshi.
Is he good at mathematics too? Or is he a genius at it? Something like that.

I bet you will have the same idea once you finish the film.
It is a little old though, so some of you might had already watched it.

Title: The Imitation Game (2014)
This is a war story but for those who are scared with blood spilling around (like my wife) no worries, it is more like a drama also.

In China, previusly they wanted to resume basketball leagues at the beginning of April, but later this date was postponed twice. The last date that was given is the beginning of May, but when I watch statistics related to illness in China, they are low, but the virus is still there, so resuming the games in may may be risky. I keep my fingers crossed to make it possible as soon as possible.
A lot of things will be possible if this happens.
1. People from other countries will be optimistic that we could fight it.
2. China will share the information on how they did it that fast.
3. If there is a vaccine, then they might share it.
Hoping that is a 100 percent cure.

It seems that this epidemic of coronavirus will accelerate the development of the e sport industry. Of course, professional NBA players will never be as good at esports as someone who's been playing on a computer or playstation for 10 or 15 years.
However, I'd like to look at what they can do with pad if such an event took place Smiley

Yeah, I really think it will be awesome.
Just looking at them playing and thinking they can do what style they are doing at a console basketball game.

Steph Curry for example.
Those kind of outside shots might not really go in. I say like 1/5 maybe. That is a low percentage.  Grin
How about those Euro steps? Did they inserted it now with NBA2k20? I know there is a hop step before but I have never seen a euro step.
4006  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This is why bitcoin is unique. on: April 13, 2020, 01:37:49 PM

Is it a whale or an exchange?
That is all that lingers in my mind now.  Grin

Well, if they are making bitcoin for a good usage then why not.
But I doubt it is a whale. Yeah, may an exchange.
See, that is all I can think of when looking at those large numbers.

“I think this is the most complicated and really crazy environment that I’ve ever experienced. There’s so much uncertainty. The only thing that I’m certain of is it’s not going to be a V-shaped recovery.”

I agree with this last line and somehow I am being dragged by the optimism so I think it is a good thing to be spread.

What complicates things is when this virus will be stopped. By that, I mean totally annihilated in the face of the world.
It seems like as it takes longer the financial industry could way down and I think bitcoin will also be affected by it. No doubt.

So, the summarize time of about 3-9 months could go way longer like a year or maybe a couple.
Maybe it aint a perfect V but more like a widen one or maybe a W. Let us not forget about the halving, there is still a chance a hype may happen.
@exstasie - You never learned from @bbc.reporter when he is posting pics, remember his Tom Lee's pics here? Tom Lee, from bitcoin bull to bitcoin bagholder, it could be misleading though for newbies.  Grin

Is he still doing it like an April Fools?  Grin

Sweet.

You are the lab rat?  Grin Just kidding.
I think you are doing good for those who want to try it just like me.
I am not keen into making spreadsheet or a ledger into how I will earn more.

Let us see if where this will take you.
I have also seen something like this thread before. I just cannot remember where it is and I think it is buried deep in this section.

So, I've added yolodice in my investment comparing those two on how they are going to perform. They are both 0.05BTC, I picked yolodice since they are no.2 with the highest wagered BTC based on https://dicesites.com/
Now this is sweeter since that is my number 1 pick.
4009  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Well Organized Scam Projects on: April 13, 2020, 07:05:10 AM
You go way deep.
Try questioning their authority of the project thru telegram.
See to it that they are widely knowledgeable with what they are doing.

Do video calls with their team. Specially when you are one to invest with them.

I remembered one here who perfected their scam project.
At the end they got the money and that is just the time when people knew they are scam.
Their team is composed of their teachers names in their school.
Damn scammers are just students.

Deandre Ayton to Face Devin Booker for NBA 2K20 Title After Beating Pat Beverley

Deandre Ayton continued to roll in the NBA 2K20 Players Tournament, defeating Patrick Beverley in Saturday's semifinals with a sweep in the best-of-three series.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2886170-deandre-ayton-to-face-devin-booker-for-nba-2k20-title-after-beating-pat-beverley

What we have been discussing here is like turning into reality.
They are really playing NBA2k20 with their own players.

That was really hilarious.
Pat is having some good time playing it.
Why don't they keep this going with each player in each team like an RPG game.  Grin It will be fun.


It would really be good to look at but pretty sure that not all NBA players are really into console gaming or do even know on how to play game.

Its really enjoying to look at those fellas who do really indeed have a good time on playing.

Yeah, that should be considered.
But, console games like NBA is not that much of a hard thing to do.
Basic shooting and passing controls and you are good to go.  Grin

The thing is, not all of them have much to do right now with this quarantine.
They might want to take the challenge to fight that boredom.  Wink

Truly, I don't worry much.

Maybe for those who have invested their life savings. Yeah, they should worry.
But it should not be that way right?
Just the right amount will do fine once every month.
The good thing is it might take long before everything will be fruitful. This is just the start.
So, we have more time to keep saving bitcoin instead of just waiting for the bank to give back the little interest.
4013  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto is not in healthy state yet on: April 12, 2020, 08:20:32 AM
More than half of the 2020 crypto conferences were either canceled or postponed due to the COVID-19 outbreak, while mining manufacturers had to stop the equipment production in China, how good is this for crypto?

Any links for news into why or when they stopped the mining rigs?
Or is this just a speculation?

We are in quarantine and that means we cannot leave our premises anytime we want. There is just a scheduled time.
But this are mining equipment which could work on their own. They could just be left there or a group of people could be assigned to maintain it.
They won't need to go home if all the necessities is in their reach.

About the conferences though. It can still be done in live stream.
Just let those who will join know that it will still continue in another way, which is possible while we are quarantined.
4014  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: April 12, 2020, 04:16:54 AM
Nice! Well they are really proving to us that NBA really Cares Smiley. It is a win-win-win situation for all of us because we are not only entertained but most importantly the people who are affected by the pandemic will get help. I hope more and more events such as this one will come in the future.

A little information for those who don't know what HORSE is.
Quote
Horse basketball

H-O-R-S-E is a game played by two people on a basketball court. The idea of the game involves matching baskets. The player who makes shots that the opponent does not duplicate, wins the game. Example: The second person shooting must duplicate the first person's shot, if it is made.
Credits to Google.
Ah okay! So if the first shooter pull off a half court shot (or any kind of shot) then the other one must do the same thing? This game is so cool and interesting tho Shocked. In this case, I'll go with Trae because I think he is a versatile shooter than CP3.

You'll go with Trae?
And then what if he end up playing against Zach Lavine in the Finals?  Grin
Then Zach wins the coin toss so he will go first?

We might see a windmill or a 360 dunk.  Grin
Trae might go looking for a trampoline afterwards.  Grin

The game could also go luck base. If you win the coin toss and make a three point shot at your first try then you can eliminate the other player if he won't make the same shot.
4015  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency Should be subsubject in Economy on: April 11, 2020, 02:42:19 PM
It is.

But, it is not that easy to just change the traditional curriculum.
You see, professors and teachers have studied those for years and they are used to it.
Changing that will mean they will need to study it too which might take most of the time.

Understanding how it works and being updated to the current news is a difficult task instead of just doing what is traditionally done.
It still depends on the mentor though. If he is willing then he could insert those but that means eating some of his time and he or she could get in trouble once the management knew what he or she is doing.

It's also just about sports betting because you pick teams where you're betting that you think you'll win the game.
Pretty much the same, you determine who will play and you analyze which team would win.

The only difference with sports is that those who are playing have reputation, so most likely they will not rig the games to favor a party or themselves.
Personally I find sports betting as the best type of gambling type, that's why I have no much action for now since most sporting events are still suspended.

That's the sad part of it.
They are physical games so we cannot do anything about it.

I recently got the idea of betting on computer games but I am having a hard time defining who could win it.
Perhaps, if it is not your forte then don't come stepping on it or else you will just lose money.
Same goes with sports betting, you will need to do your homework first.
Damn, I missed betting on NBA games and having the excitement of watching it because of the parlay.
4018  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What matters to grow the price of an Altcoin on: April 11, 2020, 05:21:31 AM
You will need to market it. More buyers means higher demand then higher value.

It should not always be about the price but how much the value of a token/coin.
Usage should be there.
If we buy it, is it worth it?
Will there be chances that it can be used someday and not just another coin which is defined to be for their service but the truth is for profit only.
Look at Ethereum. Low price but with great value.
I use it most of the time if I find bitcoin tx fee expensive or I just don't want to lose some of my bitcoin.

Note: Some coins do have a large price but it might just be because of the hype. Soon its going down if everything calms down or the investors finds out there is no future behind it.

If CBA wants to get NBA players they totally can, they can definitely build an amazing league there but they are not really going for it that much. Think about it, there is a salary cap rule in NBA and CBA could just remove that from their lives and offer them unlimited amount of money. We are talking about a nation that manufactures basically everything in the world or their knock off at least and they have trillions of dollars of american bonds so they are quite rich as well.

So, what stops them from offering Lebron James one billion dollars a year? Not saying they should because they can't make that money back, however they can afford it, even if you can't get players like Lebron or Durant or Kawhi, you can definitely convince lesser players with a lot more money, give the 10-20 million dollar dude 100 million dollars a year and a 5 year contract worth 500 and you can bet your ass he will go to china to play. None of this really means anything about pandemic and biochemical war at all, just wanted to say economically it is possible.

Yes, but let us face it.
CBA is also getting a lot of attention because of the NBA players which they are pulling in their league.
I saw Arenas being interviewed by First Take or Fair Game. IIRC. (a show where a lady interview the players in a couch)  Grin

Arenas admitted that he is making more money than he was at NBA.
He is kicked out because he brought a gun in the locker room and also pointing it with another player.

Yeah, they can offer large sum of money to this players but I think they will need popularity for the advertisements to also pay more.
Of course they will need profit or the very least, money back.

They are already calling those who already recovered from the virus to donate some blood to examine it.
That means they have the antibodies by now and they could find a cure right away.
But for me, this just tells that we still lack the best doctors in the world if it is going really slow.
I'm not sure that's how antibodies are created, from the movie I saw, they got the blood from a person that wasn't infected with the virus even if people surrounding him got infected.. if you saw the movie entitled "The FLU", it's korean movie actually, you'll know what I'm talking.
I don't really know as I am not also a medical expert but I have just read it here.
https://www.latimes.com/science/story/2020-04-06/covid19-blood-antibodies-recovered-show-promise
I think they are still looking for an option for faster recovery.
As of the Korean Movie, sorry I haven't watched that yet. But I will sure do. I already put it in my movie list to be watched.

I don't mind if they will shorten the 2020-2021 season and I guess the fans won't mind that too.
With all that had happened after this virus effect, I bet getting some good entertainment will be a key for us to forget it somehow.
To make everything back to normal again.

I don't mind it too, but we are talking of a possible return but we don't have an idea when this virus will be contain.
US accusing China reproducing the virus as bio chemical attack to them but they never talk about the cure of the virus.
Yeah, but if they want a champion for this year then they might still continue into where they had left it.
Although they will have a large problem with the next season schedules.
