Just who are you by the way? Talking big about solving problem will not help you here. We are not trusting anyone and that is a mindset of a common member here.

However, you can convince those who had been victim of fraud by letting describe yourself on how you will be able to come up with a solution, a description why should they trust you and how could it be possible to get their money back or if not as long as it is a way to prevent getting other membera getting scam in the future will do.

In short give the details here because we are not a fortune teller that could be able to verify the things you wanted us perceive.

It is already expected by the casino to create such more option not to get any advantage from gamblers doing card counting. Though card counting was not really proven that effective but still one could manage to win in the game.

However, since these card counting was already introduce long time ago the casino now had provided to repel this kind of strategy and that is by providing another deck of cards as OP suggested. So? everything has change now winning is still the house edge advantage and to gambling black jack still luck, good decision making will be able for them to win in the game and able to take home some profits. Depending on how lucky a gambler playing black jack will but I admit that black jack is one an exciting card games in the casino.

Yes it is possible especially gambling sites that are not that known like those gambling sites using cryptocurrency. This will help those users that wishes to bet without getting caught and that will just avoid the gambling sites that require KYC when you join. As much as possible KYC must be avoided.

We all know that every government had set different priorities and when it comes to like online gambling the governments are not that fully aware of those gambling sites that are running so probably they could just ban some sites in their data base for community consumption but never it will going to ban other gambling sites that are not that known. Beside you can use VPN so that you can access the sites anytime that will make you to get the chance of being stealth while browsing in the gambling site.

First tell us the reason why you join the forum,

If you were been told that joining in this forum will let you earn by joining bounty hunting then they are slight wrong. Yes, one can earn in here but if you are newbie in bounty hunting it would be difficult for you to earn. Why? there are many scam projects here to promote and just a waste of time and resources to just promote a scam project. There are successful and are really paying but if we will be talking about percentage then think of 90% scam and 10 percent projects promoted will really pay but think also the pay is not really that high.

However, if you were here to learn then you can visit the bitcoin discussion board, this section, altcoin section and other section that might interest you. Take time also to visit and see the local boards if you can check their that admin provided a local board for you then that would be better so that you can join discussion using your native language.

Another thing is that learning cryptocurrency is not as easy as 123 but once you get in it will be interesting especially if you can think that you can earn in investing taking advantage on the market price volatility especially the bitcoin. Try to check the coinmarketcap.com and see how much bitcoin price move per day, weeks, months or year. It will depend upon your decision on how you will going to take it as an advantage. But this could also be mean a risk especially to those who are new in investing bitcoin. You can learn to it later on once you will going to experience what we had been experiencing in investing in the forum and others.

Good Luck! Wish you the best!
446  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I want to learn on how to distinguish merit looking and a helpful post on: October 13, 2020, 09:55:50 AM
Thank you for your input and i had just learn something here after making this thread. This is just my self realization after reading some posts or replies.

First, a merit grabbing post could be helpful or not. It will depend on the content but it is actually a merit grabbing post to rank up. This is usually done by the low rank users. I can't disagree too like other members in the forum here that hate to see merit looking posts because we know how much knowledge they had already here in the forum and having posts that will not compensate on their level could be degraded and label as merit looking post.

Second, there are just bully members and are just wanting to bully other members especially low rank members. These are the usual scenario why I said some are bully like a non native english speaker that has having hard time formulating sentence and make its content worst (only few users are like this and they get bullied, however some are just shit poster so they deserve to get bullied). Another examle is a newbie also wanting to earn merit but still could not a single merit are also subject for getting bullied. There are also members usually wanting your post to be degraded so that they can go on top by degrading your post or even showing their own threads in their reply like saying "hey my thread is better than yours! check it out!".

Third, being friendly to merit source or other users that are holding lots of merits to give. Other user then became friendly in them constant mentioning and Idolizing and praising to get close can eventually get higher number of merits. Constant praising and mentioning the merit source is probably a way that they can get more merits from them.

Fourth, Copy and pasting long articles outside without ease and putting the source below is a trap to earn merits that could be gain fast and easy.

Fifth, raising awareness like scam activities, giveaways, and other fake sites in the section where visible to merit source instead of reporting or posting it to the right section and right thread is considered as merit grabbing post but it did actually helpful.

Anyway, other mention above that rewarding merits is based upon members perception and no way we can decide it for him to reward.

The self realization I learn is that merit grabbing post could be helpful or not. A helpful merit looking post could deserve to get merits and no one can stop a member to create a merit grabbing post that will contribute help in the forum. So, no need to verify if my post are merit grabbing post or not as long as it contribute then that will do. And I always be thankful to members that help me grow in the forum even from the start I was shit posting or was a bounty hunter with no direction on guidance to grow in the forum. It was a comeback for me.

Always thankful who had supported my threads and always there to reward merits that help me grow.  My two idols who I always look up in this forum like 1) @DdmrDdmr and 2) others.


447  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: New members Increase Position on: October 12, 2020, 10:21:13 PM
Still there is a room for improvement. If you wishes tk rank up then make a quality post and little or slowly you can receive some merits. Just get along with the post that had been merited and see if you yourself can do it.

I have been there OP, check my record activity which is high. I was only doing a comeback after I realize that If I am going to stuck in member in rank then nothing has going to change me or even I think I am not contributing the forum at all. This is why try to be more helpful and then for sure you will earn some merits if you wanted to.
448  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Belgian investors lost $12M to crypto & forex scams last year by clicking on ads on: October 12, 2020, 10:15:30 PM
What do you think about the Brave browser on iOS? and MacOS? they claim that the browser is privacy oriented, but I have read both kinds of comments on these claims and I'm not really sure if it is a good choice or not.

Tor is great for privacy, of course, but as long as you don't enable Javascript it is quite inconvenient to use it as your everyday browser.
Whatever security system that a device had if hackers or phishers are targeted you they can stil managed to get your important details.

Phishing is very common. If a user is not very cautious on site or links that he clicked on then high chance he could download malware and installed it automatically. Aside from that many phishers now using ads to get notice from the users that might interest them as well. There are many sophisticated fake sites out there and this is why even the most secured browsing platform of user using still has the chance to get compromise.
449  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Have you been monitoring your bitcointalk activities ever? on: October 12, 2020, 10:10:32 PM
It is important to get to know tye status of your account whether it is compromised or not. A better way to secure it as suggested from other plaforms is to change pass frequently. Yet, it may not be that ideal to me because I always forget password and that is one thing that make it even more difficult for me to access the acount. Anyway, that is only a suggestion to secure account and we know that this forum is important to learn about cryptocurrency so we should be even more careful in securing the account we have here.
450  Economy / Reputation / Re: Newbie Worst behavior on Bitcointalk forums. on: October 12, 2020, 01:02:44 PM
Maybe those who are a disappointed alt, register some newbie accounts and randomly take other people's names and post on some campaigns, the goal is to destroy the community of others on the forum.
High chances that this intentionally being done just to compromised other members. However, in this scenario newbie to newbie does not make sense unless a newly registered newbie accounts will going to use it to be used to degrade other member especially the high rank users. So, we should be more careful here in our replies who knows that someone will get angry on the post you made and will create an acount for revenge.
451  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A case of the pandemic changing the score and affecting sports betting on: October 12, 2020, 12:54:32 PM
but it doesn't change the fact that popular games like basketbal,soccer and baseball is now starts to  run again though the fans is absent because of physical distancing.
this means gambling is taking part and the gamblers blood is giggling again.
E-Sport have not been affected because how can they be when they even start since then in online betting.
It actually did and you mentio it already that change happen in basketball sports like having virtual audience. This is far from having an actual audience for we know the audience could change the coarse of the game through motivation to win having lots of fans on your team behind.
Possible too that in gambling many are now doing it online and higher chances that betting in the next game will be like more online because it is more fast and easy way to bet.
452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs. Conor McGregor on: October 12, 2020, 12:17:05 PM
I think this will be considered the same with McGregor's first fight in boxing, and that fight was recorded in the professional fight of Mayweather, so it will be an addition to Manny's win and will be recorded in his professional fights as a boxer.

Mayweather's pro boxing record ;

https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/352
McGregor should focus on his career and not in boxing. Boxing is not his game and he even wants to challenge the best boxer in the world? How he think he could win?

I think he is only after the money. No chance that he can knock down Manny and beat him. However, if he really has the intention to win in this match then he shoul be making physical conditioning as early as possible to catch up with Manny in terms physical abilities.
453  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe NBA is rigged? on: October 12, 2020, 12:11:13 PM
It is the job of the association to investigate that case. If the association can find that and get the person behind on that rigged, that will clean the NBA association's mess. But that won't stop the other people from trying to rig the match. But yes, the NBA will make a lot of money from the match, but I don't know if the NBA is giving tips to the sports bookmaker.
I think it is still possible to make things like this but it could be done seemingly unintentional. I have observe it in the game 3 and game miami vs lakers to which lakers defense has not as good as the last game they played.

However, the bad thing about it is that it will not be disclose to anyone. This is why I think the only thing that had benefited in this situation are those the staff, the players and to those who are close to them. It is all about money and all could be done because of it.
454  Economy / Economics / Re: Pandemic: good for the bitcoin market or bad? on: October 12, 2020, 11:44:18 AM
<snip>
I think why those people engaging in stock market had been doing in bitcoin due to the fact that bitcoin has promising impact in trading due to its market price volatility.

However, it still risky because of again the volatility. I think they could manage to get along with bitcoin volatility because stock market trading is same as cryptocurrency trading. As observe I agree that cryptocurrency during the pandemic has gone good.
455  Economy / Economics / Re: Food prices doubled this year on: October 12, 2020, 06:21:01 AM
Not really because the government here in our place had already take some actions like preventing market to double or make an increase in the price. An executive order also has been signed and release from the office of the president for those business owners who will violate on the price control order.

Though yes it may not going to take effect on all areas of markets but at least mostly especially the essentials are being monitored and control the movement of the price.
456  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Does bounty still kind of worth on 2020? on: October 11, 2020, 04:09:30 AM
Yes, bounty hunting is still good if you were able to join those defi projects that are successful now like the uniswap where most of the users that are joining was able to get reward to which equivalent to 3 eth. I guess this is the best so far together with the sushiswap and yearn.finance coins to which market price has been pump and it hits more than bitcoin market price per coin. I think it reach to 32K USD per YFI coin and that is huge compared to bitcoin. However, when it comes to marketcap volume there is now way that other altcoins could beat bitcoin for now because bitcoin had more than 50% of the total marketcap volume in the market together with other altcoins.
457  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to cancel transaction on ETH network? on: October 11, 2020, 04:06:16 AM
Just replace it with empty transaction mate, if you using metamask, it will be more easy.
You can resubmit the transaction you submitted with higher gas and same nonce, but with empty amount of ETH.
That will probably do when transaction is not yet confirm and nodes still updating the transaction and broadcasting it to the network. Every several minutes to which transaction has been process it will be stored on a memory pool where it will be mine or will created a blocks from the miner to include in blockchain. This is far as I understand more on about transaction. So, if you will going to replace the transaction with higher fees then it will be mine quickly by the miners and the other old transaction will be rejected. This is somehow like to avoid double spend on the crypto that has been process both in the same time.
458  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are DeFi projects trustless? on: October 11, 2020, 03:46:40 AM
This is why now they introduce the NFT projects. This after some news regarding Defi that takes toll on every investor that had trusted it and later on it found out that DEFI projects are not reallt decentralized because it could be manipulated.

How I wish that the next project especially NFT projects will be more reliable and trusted projects. This is what we are looking now because we need more projects that could be funded by the crowd to get back cryptocurrency market at its best with new projects.

460  Other / Beginners & Help / I want to learn on how to distinguish merit looking and a helpful post on: October 10, 2020, 02:27:37 PM
Many of the low rank members in this forum are making threads and gaining merits just recently and others were able to rank up. However, a certain issue has arise to which other members claim that this section has been like a ground for merit looking posts. I could be guilty in this issue about the merit looking posts because I had few posts and I could not verify whether my posts is helpful or just like a merit looking posts. Now, I am confused what post exactly is helping or just a merit farm post.

I would like to brought this up because it greatly affect us the the low rank members in this forum for our post could be suspected as merit looking posts. This created confusions in me and probably to other low rank users on how, when, what will we going to posts. And because of this I made some perception in regards to other members that are being so rude of suspecting merit looking posts for probably they wanted to

+ Bully low rank users.
+ dominate in the forum
+ does not want low rank users to rank up

It could also possibly mean that they wanted to

+ create forum a better like reprimanding low rank users in a merit looking posts
+ guide low rank users to make better posts than look like a merit looking posts
+ regulate merit looking posts in beginners and help section and other sections as well.

Whatever it would be they think of the merit looking posts we cannot deny the fact that mostly of it were done by trying to contribute to the forum. So, where could the problem should be?

1. Is it because of members wanting to rank up and trying hard to contribute by making post that for them could be helpful and could get merits?

2. Is it because because low rank members does not feel how to get merits by just doing replies.

3. Is it because our point are not as good as high rank users.

4. Is it because merits are now focused on giving to the low rank users.

5. Is it because low rank members are just annoying in this forum and should not be here to join discussion with other members.

Let's discuss about this for us to change our ways on how to deal with our posts. I know in myself that I am not a quality poster but this is the only way or chance that I can do to try hard to contribute and be helpful in the forum as much as possible.

My conclusion

Rewarding of merit is being decentralized and has been tasked to the merit source. The merit source are trusted users by the admin and are good members of the forum that are capable of knowing when to reward the allocated merit provided to the members that contribute help to the forum. So, I think we could not question the merit source on their ways of rewarding merit for if we do then it is also more like questioning the admin of this forum whom trusted the merit source on how to reward the merits.

I suggest to all members especially the high rank members to criticize posts whenever they see a merit looking thread. I can be more greatful to be assess on what I did here in the forum through your criticism. I know I could do wrong but will be happy to learn from it. However, I know that most of the high rank members here are good guy and just wanted to make the forum a more ideal and better place.

Still I wanted to discuss to know your opinion so that I could learn on how to distinguish merit looking and helpful posts that will help me to become a better member of the forum.

Edit -

You could be overthinking this a little and yuu ou haven't really said any types of topics that have been used for merit hunting either? Could you not give a common example?

Example of merit grabbing post.
