Also make sure to memorize part of the address when you copy it. The memorization will help you see if the address matches with what you paste on the cryptocurrency wallet. People should always check to see that the addresses they copy is correct till the transfer.

Coffee is very harmful because it's addictive, so I only drink tea

Is it really addictive? I drank alot of coffee as teenager... it made me energetic back then, no addiction (am not sure though).
I don't know why I don't get thesame feeling today. It makes sleepy, yawn alot, with alot headaches. Few times it makes me feel alittle good and energic. I will probably try it again in an empty stomach and healthy body.

I feel great without these things though. I just fast, drink lots of warm water with little lemon-like/lime-like juice plus lots fruits/veg/healthy foods.
4523  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You think terrorist groups around the world use Cryptos as a means of payment? on: November 28, 2019, 07:34:59 AM
The focus must be on their funders.. . They are most likely wealthy people. I have heard stories of terrorist groups dropping weapons and cash through helicopters. Villagers have testified seeing helicopters dropping weapons but people hardly take their stories seriously. No research/investigation (especially independent research) done to verify the claims. The media hardly even take the claims seriously.

In my opinion, one of the most effective ways to reduce terrorism, is by encouraging the citizens to install thousands or even millions of surveillance cameras by themselves in their communities to expose evil activities that take  place at night, in secret places and in hidden areas like forest etc

I would not doubt that terrorists use cryptocurrencies aswell but you don't fight them by tightening control on this useful tools. I'd rather fight them together with the community and the hard working security agencies . That is, through self-regulation of the whole crypto community by the people, more empowerment of the community, more decentralization, more transparency, more anonymity, more immutablity, more trustlessness, more permissionless

I was so busy for our upcoming competition for Robotics at school that's why I wasn't able to come up with a crazy idea yesterday, and actually even now I wasn't so sure about a thing so here's a little bit easy for all of you.

What if you have a kid on the house and you're currently making bets online and you accidentally have a phone call or what so ever thing you might do on that time and suddenly the kid mistook it for some fancy game and make bets on his/her own, would you be upset and get angry to the kid? Or would you rather trust a child's play on this scenario?


Due to our late discussion, thread will be open until Saturday.


Interesting question.
Well, I wouldn’t be angry if it's a probability based gambling. I would be alittle pissed (with good self-control Ofcourse) if it's a skill-based gambling.

So, i wouldn't worry if it's a probability based gambling. I probably will just "trust" the kid thesame way I "trust" my chances to win a probability based game.    But I wouldn't trust him if it's a skill-based game he/she doesn’t know how it works
4525  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are crypto casinos/dice houses not caring about multiple accounts. on: November 28, 2019, 06:41:22 AM
I have accessed stakes though VPN and all went smooth. But, their TOS is against multiple accounts (may not create multiple accounts). So, it would be a problem if they notice that you are using multiple accounts.

AFAIK, crypto-games is more strict about multiple accounts. I have seen lots of gambler's accounts seized/locked for that reason.

Another house which is more strict about multiple accounts is freebitco.in as people try to abuse their easy affiliate program.

My suggestion to you is, try to have 10 accounts and 10 different gambling houses. A problem-free way which may ensure tension-free mindset and I believe a good mindset is more important while you are engaging in developing a strategy. We are all here to know what strategy you are developing with multiple accounts, it is really creating lots of curiosity Smiley.




I never knew multiple accounts is frowned this much in Crypto gambling. Not that I have used multiple accounts before though(i am not sure)

I guess 10 different gambling houses with "provable fair" should be more appropriate...depending on the intention of the gambler.
4526  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why the next Bitcoin halvening could be the most dramatic one yet on: November 28, 2019, 05:40:29 AM
Something people need to watch out for:
the halving could kill decentralized mining if price goes up "a bit" or "remains thesame". I am surprised miners aren't worried or taking this possibility into account. Wonder if few are getting subsidy or something. Strange!
4527  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cyber criminals are using Youtube to install-Crypto jacking software on: November 28, 2019, 05:13:38 AM
If you are fond of watching Youtube and clicking links on it this is something you should be aware of
Quote
Slovakian software security firm Eset has uncovered that cyber criminals behind the Stantinko botnet have been distributing a Monero (XMR) cryptocurrency mining module via Youtube.

More of this story here:
https://cointelegraph.com/news/cyber-criminals-are-using-youtube-to-install-cryptojacking-malware

Interesting..


But:
Quote
Eset informed YouTube, which reportedly responded by removing all the channels that contained traces of Stantinko’s code.

I guess the best thing youtube should have done is to suspend all the channels until proper investigation is carried out. What if some of the channels are innocent?
If a wealthy and psychopathic hacker wants millions of channels removed, all he/she needs to do is to pay millions of youtubers to promote the infected links. In the end, millions of channels will be removed... and the bait taken by both the youtubers and youtube.

58 billion won is about $50,000,000 .that is huge. Centralized exchange or  platform is a deviation of the bitcoin ideal, so we can't blame this on crypto world. We have solid standards everyone is advised to follow. If you don't follow them, you are not really part of us.
The hacks will drastically reduce if we all abide by the "rules".
4529  Economy / Economics / Re: Does halving really create deflation? on: November 27, 2019, 02:39:40 PM
One of the important points by those who believe halving will increase the price alot is that the amount of bitcoins dumped by miners will reduce which will contribute to the increase in the price of Bitcoin.
My guess is that some will try to suppress any possible effect on the price by the halving. that is, if the community allows suppression to happen by then.

This is something that I have regretted for a very long time, which is not knowing or ignoring Bitcoin back then. I was too focused on my virtual assistant career last 2011, until I was first introduced to Bitcoin in 2014.
Hindsight is 20/20. I'm pretty sure a lot of holders from those years also didn't expect this level of exponential growth that bitcoin had throughout the years. All you can do right now is learn from your lesson, and act accordingly.

I know how it really feels not knowing or ignoring Bitcoin years ago. If I did, I could be one of the Bitcoin whales right now. Same thing when Ethereum came out.
If you did, there's also might be a good chance that you would've sold when bitcoin doubled or tripled or when it was one of it's hype/bubble cycles in the past.

You said my mind. Only few would patient enough to hold for a long time.
Many who did not understand the potential of Bitcoin ignored it or thought it won't go very far. Bet there are few new projects with potential to be like Bitcoin but many people ignore the projects too, without understanding their potentials. But when the projects become valuable or successful, we regret not investing.

Is the 0.0003 in Bitcoin or other cryptocoins?

I would suggest you get yourself a Bitcointalk copper badge to gain some trust here... if the website can afford 0.0003 coins(bitcoins?) to the first 100 people, why not.
I guess the free bitcoins will be given as bonus for gambling?
4532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are crypto casinos/dice houses not caring about multiple accounts. on: November 27, 2019, 09:47:29 AM
Even though I am not regular at casino things, I think multiple accounts would be allowed, as long as you are not using it to cheat the casinos. But if their rules say no to multiple accounts, then the rules have to be obeyed.
4533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Damaged salary on: November 27, 2019, 08:23:33 AM
Important advice: invest/gamble with amount you can afford to lose. Bitcoin/Crypto trading is a better than typical gambling though (especially luck-based gambling). Holding is one of the things that make it better, assuming that holding is not possible in gambling... So the "hold" probably don't apply in gambling discussion
4534  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: NOTHING IS ABOVE BITCOIN on: November 27, 2019, 07:15:39 AM
This is exactly why stablecoins like USDT, TUSD, DAI, Libra, etc. won't gain much popularity. Cryptocurrencies and the blockchain technology were created with a scope - that we get rid of all the centralization and excessive control of authorities over the world. Corruption is at all time high level and transparency is nowhere near where we would like it to be. By adopting Bitcoin and blockchain & adiacent tech like smart contracts I'm sure we will make a much efficient & fair world.

The stablecoins especially libra could actually gain alot of popularity, only that they are backed by fiat currencies which are dangerously centralized. Am a bit comfortable with decentralized stablecoins that aren't entirely backed by fiat.
Hopefully we will have "stablecoin" backed by things like food(nutrients rich food) with long-shelf life. Food prices are usually stable.

The hypocrisy and finger pointing will eventually lead to our doom. It is coming but many are  blind to see. No serious preparation going on anywhere. 

What or who is behind all this? The puppet master ofcourse. Unfortunately many don't believe in these "imaginary" beings but they believe in imaginary lies/myth disguised as science.
4536  Other / Off-topic / Re: What is your favorite NOODLE ? on: November 27, 2019, 06:07:54 AM
I don't like noodle that much but when I buy it, I cook it with lots of vegetables and some raw onion.
Some noodles make me tired, weak and sometimes sick. I suspect it is due to a particular brand. I tend to buy pasta - spaghetti in place of noodles, I  guess it is a healthy alternative
4537  Other / Politics & Society / Re: why are are allowed to criticize everything except jews or truth on: November 27, 2019, 05:50:24 AM
You don't criticise people if you are guilty of thesame thing you accuse them of.
You have to be perfect If you must criticise others otherwise it becomes hypocrisy.
When we understand how filthy and evil we all are, we would be more humble when talking about other "evil people".
By the way, there are good jews and the bad, just like you can find in any group of world. Humans can't be all bad right?

Seems many want jews destroyed,.. this is probably why they are under this kind of protection
4538  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The real problem in bitcoin (economic facts included) on: November 26, 2019, 04:47:43 PM
 Seems you are not too pleased with the current market (uptrend?). Do you want it down, up , stable or something? Or you are disappointed because you probably planned to buy more coins for profits in the future?
I honestly don't understand why some would want the market to crash. Crashed price doesn't really matter much in Crypto world.. . strong demands will always return especially if a coin is useful /valuable to many people.
4539  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A coin that solves a problem won't die on: November 26, 2019, 01:43:11 PM
Better still, a coin that solves important problems and continues to adapt and improve in line with crypto values/principles won't die easily or will last long. The crypto world really needs the multiple cryptocurrencies for the sake of innovation and choices
4540  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Comparing Chainlinks Oracles With Blocknet's Xrouter. on: November 26, 2019, 01:02:52 PM
Blocknet - The Internet Of Blockchains


I recently digged deep into this project, since I got extremely interested in DEX's since they seem to be on everyones agenda lately. To my surprise I discovered that Blocknet is WAY more than just a simple "DEX".
Their Xrouter is what caught my interest:

Blocknet's XRouter which makes it possible to build decentralized apps using features from any public or private blockchain, which will serve as the foundation for multi-blockchain architectures and the “Internet of Blockchains”. XRouter was designed from the ground up to provide interoperability with ANY and ALL blockchains.

Sounds familiar doesn't it? Sounds a LOT like Chainlink. You can read more about it here: https://blocknet.co/xrouter-missing-link-between-all-blockchains/

When comparing Blocknet's Xrouter to Chainlinks Oracles an interesting thing caught my attention:

The XRouter can serve billions of requests per day like Infura (who is doing over 20 billion/day). If each call averages out to about 0.001 BLOCK/call, then that's about $1,000,000 going to the active service nodes. If 100 is running it equals to $10,000/day per service node that the XRouter pulls in based off a tiny 0.001 BLOCK call at $0.70.

LINK charges 0.1 LINK/call which is 0.23 cents, which is quite expensive compared to Blocknet's Xrouter


I'm not saying LINK is a trash project, but it sure seems hyped up when you've got a project doing the exact same thing in a far more decentralized fashion with a 1/200 of the marketcap, while having the first working DEX running at the same time.


What are you guys thoughts about this? I'd love to know, because honestly? Blocknet seems to be extremely undervalued in this case, when it actually seems to be a superior solution, which is MUCH cheaper to use for everyone.

Overall, I don't understand how a project that has built this much from the ground up is ranked as low as it is. Sure they don't do aggressive marketing like Justin Sun, or Sergey, but their tech is mind blowing if you dig down and actually understand it's use cases.


Seems the aggressive marketing would help. Influential people from traditional markets(& sometimes with opposing ideologies) tend to be overhyped and well funded because of their wealthy private funders. If Blocknet is truely what people say it is, it should begin to take advertisement more seriously. You could invite some of the most popular people in this space to test the DEX and give their honest review publicly. I think true believers will help promote the DEX if they are impressed. You could also try Signature Campaign here and reward the campaigners with maybe the DEX tokens.
