Thanks for creating this topic. Though we don't have a dedicated board for discussing politics happening over in our country, I feel like topic can be used as a narrative political speech topic over the years to come along (like the WO thread) instead of creating a separate topic now and then for discussions. As far as our country is concerned, we have completely ruled out the job creating culture and more focused on getting a job for monthly salary. Many of us feel like, it's more safe and secured rather than taking the risk and starting up a business. This is one among the poorest mindsets which majority of us have and has been one among the core contributing factor for our country's increasing poor economy over the decades.
For instance let us consider the common scenarios which are happening over in our country for the past 2 decades
1. In the late 90s and early 2000's there was a craze of moving over to USA for higher studies and settling there permanently. Here in this case, the student finishes off his degree and moves over to USA and settles there for a $100,000 salary. This trend continued till the announcement of stricter Visa process in the Obama Rule. These millions of students haven't contributed anything to our economy rather than sending money to their parents and I would call this scenario as the beginning of our poor economical downturn.
2. Meanwhile during the late 2000's we have seen an increase of US based companies stepping in the Indian soil disguising themselves as job providers and thereby silently increase their net-worth and market share. In this case, we should have allowed only a handful of companies and similarly should have given equal opportunity for the Indians to create their own startups with announcement of various bank loans or kind of similar things. This increase of American companies increased the slave (job) count and people started earning lakhs of rupees per month immediately after finishing off their engineering degree or whatsoever. This indeed paved way for less startups and more creation of jobs which was certainly good for that decade but had a huge negative impact for the future.
3. Destroying Indian Startups by US tech giants and government : This scenario builds up on Scenario 2. Even if the students tend to start a business before they rise up, they are being destroyed by tech giants and new rules from the government. For example, in the mid 2010-2020 there were various startups to stream Indian movies legally but government and media officials prevented them stating that they are allowed to operate only outside India. This rule changed when giants like Amazon, Disney or Netflix stepped in thereby destroying the startup in the process...
Our country and its citizens has become a slave for the foreign nationals, we are overtly dependent on tech giants like bloatware and adware OS maker "Microsoft" but on the other side doesn't know what is BOSS Linux OS (An Indian OS based on Linux kernel) - well people here don't even know what is Linux instead! We trust foreign companies more than Indian companies - we are willing to work as slaves rather than creating jobs for our fellow citizens by creating a startup. If this doesn't change, we will be creating an even more poorer economy in future.
Very well written @Heisenberg. We have indeed ruled out the job creation culture and I would say that it is completely our and the government's fault in this. There are not many Government jobs out there and we all know what perspective do people have about the Government employees. Also, not many people have the guts to do a startup. Most people either tend to do a business or join some company and prefer doing a job. This is where things are opposite in foreign countries. There are so many startups getting launched each year in foreign and it is the same Indian people who go abroad for studies/job to join these foreign startups later on as they become well established. The Indian government started the "Vocal for Local" clarion during the pandemic and things started to take a turn but we don't know yet if it has actually created an impact at large scale or not. I found an interesting article about vocal for local and how the economic crisis in the past 2 decades destroyed our job creation culture while welcoming foreign brands in India. It quotes as below The movement, which started in the early 1900s, called for the use of locally-made products. The trend lasted for some years before Economic Liberalisation began in the wake of the 1991 economic crisis, which led to a steady rise in FDI with the entry of global brands into the country. This phenomenon led to stiff competition between the home-grown players and foreign players as the latter offered better quality products at competitive prices. Unable to compete, many small Indian players got acquired by big multinational companies. Except for few diversified conglomerates such Tatas, Godrej, Reliance, and Raymonds, to name a few, many smaller brands fell by the wayside.

Its a commercial website ".com" and yet the site is not in English. All of the reviews you posted are also not in English. Seems strange. I would not even bother to do a research on a site which doesn't have the content in English. You can try buying an ASIC miner from marketplace if there's somebody willing to sell Also, you can try buying it from bitmain as well. Bitmain

It's no wonder that bitcoin has stolen the limelight off most of the potential assets in the market during this pandemic.
Bitcoin has also outperformed every other assets over the last decade and is announced as the best performing asset of the decade.
This is indeed a big thing because many assets have failed to show their potential in the last decade.
Despite the huge dump in bitcoin's price it has recovered very well over the last few months.
May be this is why investors are throwing in their money to pile up bitcoins in their portfolio.
The pandemic has not even ended yet and we can see how this is ending up in the favor of bitcoin.

More than reading how questions it was fun reading the answers in the OP. Right on point for each answer. TMF is surely has some kind of grudge against bitcoin else he would not be saying so many things against it. May be didn't get the opportunity to buy BTC at cheaper price  Jokes aside, we have seen many such people speaking against bitcoin but that doesn't change anything since the power still lies in the people. Until there are many supporters for bitcoin, nobody can do anything about bitcoin. It will stay for long and probably shut many mouths as time goes by. |

Just saw the tweet and they mentioned the below message for verification Is this an actual puzzle or a scam? You can verify yourself using bitcoin-cli verifymessage "1Q7QWSMhQWdJ46o6MRPdtr7FLaDbwpaShq" "H2qVLGDMR8JdAsi32LM+9hcYUzATf15UTukMt2mU8Z9ZT9MoAZggOyLekKeBKA/s3yvop+gx/vK36h483nxfPO0=" "Coldbit Steel"
Verified the message below
I checked the above address and yes it does contains the 0.01 BTC. So I guess this is indeed true. I did try to decode the puzzle for a while but didn't make it through  |

Governments should understand that it's not the fault of bitcoin since it didn't change it's behavior since inception.
It was designed to become a peer to peer payment network and that's what it is. It's the people who use it for illicit activities.
I am sure that the so called "Televend" was also created to make a positive impact in the market but it's the people who leverage it for illicit activities like drug dealing.
If people are using a good thing for a bad purpose it doesn't mean that the good thing is bad rather it means that the person is himself bad.
Besides that the governments can't do anything to bitcoin other than restricting it's use, so they should rather go behind the people who are dealing with drugs.
The drug dealers will surely find some other way if bitcoin is not an option to them. So why not catching the drug dealers itself at the first place.

~ shitty INR etc.
Prior to 2016, I would hv disagreed with you; primarily cause of the faith I have in the working parameters of the RBI and not the govt. However a bunch of recent actions have cast aspersions on their working and capability. Sadly confidence in the govt has been in the downturn for long and seems to be so in coming future as well. The foundation for bitcoin in India had not been a technical one to begin with. It was the goto "jugaad" after demonetization and all the "talk" about black money by the new Govt. I know such people who bought tens of bitcoin back then and sold the ATH. A 'community' hasn't really developed even today because Indians are not interested in putting time and effort into something that they cannot outdo. Most Indian devs are quick to realize that the primary work on bitcoin has been done. If they want to outdo or outshine, they will have to stick to new projects. That is why you will see quite a lot of Indian developers and Indians in Alt-coins. When it comes to bitcoin, i think stacking is the thing we can do best for now as other parts of the world have strongly taken over the bitcoin momentum. Look at the SEA communities and companies declaring bitcoin holdings. Out of all the "Indian developers in alt-coins" as you say, how many do you think would be contributing towards open source ? I believe that all those people who are contributing towards bitcoin core are doing it because they want to do it. They believe in it and that's what makes them contribute more towards bitcoin. We all know most of the people are behind money and may be the "Indian developers in alt-coins" think that there's not much money in contributing towards bitcoin core and that's why they aren't in it. There must be some Indians who are still contributing in bitcoin core. It's just a matter of priorities I guess. |

That's a nice question. If I were Jack Dorsey I would create a page/channel or something like that owned by myself just to teach people about bitcoin actually is.
I would make people understand that it's not just about trading but something more than that. This would not only promote bitcoin but also teach others what it is about.
But anyway, it's good that Jack is atleast doing something that he could to promote bitcoin in his own way. We all should appreciate it.

It shouldn't be that hard to achieve 100% randomness since there are many built-in functions and libraries that programmers can use to generate random numbers.
Collaborating few of the random output to create a string of random of numbers should not be that difficult. But if all the gambling sites start using this then they might not be able to generate profits out of their site. This is risky for their business which is why many gambling sites fake their data so that their users only win a limited number of times.
No, it's not possible. It's at most pseudo randomness, you couldn't even call it truly random due to the fact that the programmer himself was able to create it. Is randomness something that could be tampered or altered with? If it was, then is it still called random? Also I doubt casinos would even bother fake their data, scammy and fake ones for sure, but legit ones? There's absolutely no need to. Especially if their reputation is already well known, there's absolutely no need to fake numbers. The programmer creates the code that is necessary to generate the random string not the random string itself. Basically the code much have higher integrity of generating the random string in such a way that it cannot be tampered/altered while behaving truly random. Even the legit sites would definitely have a code that invokes the provably fair algorithm to generate the random string. This doesn't mean that the programmer can tamper the provably fair algorithm and if he does then he is just faking the data anyway. And yeah, I agree with you that the reputed sites do not have the need to fake their data because they can still be in profit while being provably fair. I just meant that there are some sites that fake their data just to gain money from their users. |

I want to make a survey from gamblers in the forum if they are really reading the TOS of the gambling sites they are playing with.
Therefore, I request you to vote and give an explanation on why you voted yes or no?
Im the only 1 person who voted for "NO". Because you were too quick to vote for a NO  There are many others who voted NO after you including me. More than 35 people actually voted for a NO. Now this seems interesting ain't it Well, im honest that i dont really read up much when it comes to terms.When i do saw a new gambling site then i do make registration and make some deposit directly.
We know that most of them arent really restricting several countries.Im just really that too lazy but so far i havent been blocked with this kind of behavior.(hopefully not).
Sooner or later i would able to find out when it comes to restriction but in most cases that do happen after i have played. hehehe
Even I don't really read the Terms and Conditions more often. I just check the site and if it gives me the vibes then I just proceed and play on it. Until now none of the sites I have gambled in have turned out to be scam or has bothered me in any way. |

You are right, guys!  The probability of ETH going over $500 in two weeks is very low. That's why I bet only 1k sats on the "$501 - $750" range. And if the outcome odds were below 20.00, I wouldn't bet anything at all. But with those odds, they are even higher right now  it's definitely worth a shot. Thanks for understanding my way of betting! It's definitely worth a short if you know what you are doing. Trying out different strategies to know which one works best for you is what we should all do. So even if we lose some money in the process, we won't regret it much because we decided to try it out consciously . Besides that, is you are really lucky and you win the bet then you would be getting a solid profit out of the bet So yeah, definitely worth it. |

What you said is absolutely right and this is what I have been advising to everybody I communicate with but the thing is that holding bitcoins in wallet/exchange differs from person to person.
If the person is an investor then he should definitely hold it an a secure wallet but if the person is a trader then he won't be able to hold all the amount in a wallet.
A trader can't keep on transferring funds from his wallet to the exchange.
A trader should keep some amount on the exchange as well to trade on coins so that he doesn't miss the opportunity when the time arrives.
So I think that should be mentioned clearly in OP so that the traders know this difference.
P.S : Your title should be more like : Do not store your coins on an exchange, store it in your wallet.
I am a trader and it is a very hard fact that I do not have my own private wallet on the exchange which makes it easier for hackers to get my privatekey on the exchanger via the user database I hope that in the future there will be a solution for this because I will not be able to store my assets in a personal wallet if I do not play long term I am storing all of my coins in an exchange wallet because I have tried, proven and tested that it is one hundred percent safe unless you are in a safe exchange wallet. I have been a miner and a trader here for years and I don't have any experience yet to lose my coins in an exchange wallet. My advice is you should observe and do some research before you trust in an exhange wallet in order for you to avoid scam. Yes that is absolutely correct. Being a trader you guys should try to keep the minimum amount on an exchange from which you can actively trade while keeping the rest in a secure crypto wallet whose privatekey you can hold. Also, the exchange you keep your coins on should be the most reputed one such as binance. Now this doesn't mean it cannot be hacked since it was already hacked few months ago. Binance could have simply escaped from the situation by not giving the coins to their users but since it was reputed enough and cared about their users they decided to use their recovery funds to give their users the lost funds. This doesn't happen with every exchange as most of them just state that they cannot do anything about it. |

Below is Bitcoin's price for each year.
Mar 2012 : $4.72
Mar 2013 : $84.20
Mar 2014 : $440.49
Mar 2015 : $247.07
Mar 2016 : $415.32
Mar 2017 : $1041.53
Mar 2018 : $7646.06
Mar 2019 : $4500.00
Mar 2020 : $6543.32
This shows that bitcoin has been rising up continuously every year followed by dips in between. If you look at a long term then yes bitcoin has truly been moving forward.
I don't have to make it understand to you because the numbers are saying it all.

7 days left till the end of betting on Bitcoin/Ethereum Price October. If the outcome odds won't change much, there's a very attractive range to bet on, regarding BTC price, "$11,001 - $11,500"(current odds = 5.95). As for Ethereum, I placed 1k sats on "$501 - $750",  just because I think the odds of that happening are much higher than 1 in 73. Wow that's great. I hope you win. If you win you would probably win around 73000 Satoshis which is a very good return. I would probably bet on a lesser range since I think ETH would not cross $450 by the end of this month. It would rather stay in the sub $400 level according to me. I would monitor it for few more days and then bet on it |

For some reason the website is not loading properly on my end. It did load correctly the first time and then when I launched the crazy time game was loading and switched a tab and then when I reopened the tab the page crashed. I tried reloading the site multiple times but the site is still crashed and it's showing a blank page.
Found it to be weird. It may be a server side issue or something.
I am using Mozilla firefox on Manjaro linux.

Let it go, his post has also been removed. That doesn't make sense because at first no one really believed him. And I know Roobet will never be able to scam. At the peak of their success, they will not be able to waste it. And I know a lot of people trust it. Let's just talk about what are your favorite games or slots? How much have you won or lost here?
This commmunity have seen how Roobet build their casino and build the trust of this community to them. It will be hard to believe that they will waste it (we know they will not). I trust Roobet a lot lately, this is one of my favorite casino in my gambling career.
My favorite slot is Gonzo's Quest Megaways and Micro Knights. Actually I've never played Micro Knights for real money yet, but I played it on my first days on Roobet, exploring it and things. On Gonzo's, I'm having such high hopes getting some multipliers on this slot. Indeed Roobet has gained the trust of a lot of people. Roobet has been bringing so many comepetitions lately which has encouraged many people to showcase their talents. This has also made many people to check out their site. I have myself explicitly created an account on Roobet to check out how good the site is and I found it to be really amazing. All those cool animations and better graphics than other sites made me prefer Roobet over other casino sites. |

BTC $12,000 bound? ETH to Surpass $400?October has been an interesting month for Bitcoin and Ethereum. Starting the month in the low $10,000s, Bitcoin has gained more than $1,000 and seems to be gearing up for a bullish run. At the current price, betting returns are 6.45X. Do you think BTC can maintain this level until Oct 31? ETH has made its own growth as well, ranging at $381 and looking ahead. At the current price, betting returns lie at 2.55X, while returns for $401 - $450 lie at 4.55X. Can you predict crypto movements accurately? Then head over to FreeBitco.in, wager BTC and win! Well we can't really predict the movement because bitcoin was expected to cross the $11.5k range but since it dumped upon reaching that price it became a strong resistance against bitcoin. Bitcoin is struggling to break this price and Ethereum is just following the footsteps of bitcoin. It's hard to predict the price at this point of time. Best thing would be to keep an eye on it and as per the analysts if the price of bitcoin falls further then it might go below $10k. |

I got the following output for git rev-parse HEAD. 0b2abaa666d6f3331e3246ffd64dd47946e9dcdf Possibly a SHA1 hash  It is, and that's what I was looking for. The exact version is "Bitcoin Core version v0.20.99.0-0b2abaa66" and I have not changed anything in the code so hopefully there shouldn't be any uncomitted changes.

I built this commit and it tested without any errors. As a basic troubleshooting step, I suggest that you first do make clean and then rebuild and test with make check. If it still fails, then I'll take a look at the config.log you linked earlier. Thank you so much. This worked and all the unit test were executed successfully passing the 3 cases. Also, I tried executing the functional test example_test.py and that was executed successfully too. Thank you again Well, what was the issue at the first place ? I wonder why it didn't run earlier |
