I got two correct scores. I would have had another had Southampton not got a late goal. There's only one thing worse than that in this competition and that's when that goal gets someone above you the full points:

Southampton vs West Brom 1-0

Ha, yeah, just saw. 2-2 now however. I could see an upset with the Man United game later but I still backed them to win.

Wish I would have followed my own advice.

These last two games could go anywhere but I have them both as draws.

2-1 is actually a good average score to pick. There were two 2-1 results last week so that would have got you 80 points alone. I have the Chelsea game 2-1 and it's currently 1-1 at half time so hopefully it'll come in. Could see Chelsea getting another 2 though.

You lost your 0.4 bitcoins along with the bitcoin cash equivalent? Are you sure you didn't use a phishing site? I've heard people have been getting phishing emails purporting to be from blockchain.info regarding claiming bitcoin cash but haven't received any myself. If the bitcoins have been sent to another address not in your control you won't be able to restore them via the seed or any other way unfortunately.

I'd rather that entire section be trashcanned to be honest, but that whole board is just a symptom of signature campaigns forcing users to make posts in the Gambling section so they just create every possible topic they can possibly think of. At the very least non-bitcoin related threads such as that one you mentioned shouldn't be permitted.

Hmmm...  Not the reaction I was looking for.  Lol.  But for now, can we at least segregate the 'Is gambling a sin' threads from the sports betting threads?

And maybe it's better to lock sports threads at the end of each season, and start new ones at the start of the new season?

It seems you just want threads you personally don't like to go but are perfectly fine with the spammy sports threads being there even though talking about sports clearly falls under this:

I mean they're clearly not gambling discussion threads.  They're just off topic threads imho.

The irony here is those threads are more related to gambling than discussing about the Premier League etc.

This is the real problem IMO. Campaigns with a required number of posts in the gambling section. IMO it's impossible to make something like 15 posts a week in gambling without spamming and adding your own pile of steaming crap to megathreads that are already full of it. If you delete the spam threads people will start making new ones, because otherwise they won't be able to reach their campaign limit.

If it doesn't involve bitcoin it shouldn't be there in my opinion. We don't talk about ebay and Amazon in service discussion so sports shouldn't belong in Gambling either. They should be in off topic if anything and they originally were but guess what? Most campaigns don't usually pay anything for off topic posts so people started spamming the gambling board when campaigns started making it a requirement to have x amount of posts in there.

It may or may not. You'll have to contact either theymos or cyrus and see if they will accept that as proof but I wouldn't count on it.

It would help if you told us what country you're in. I see you have posted in the French board so if you're in France wirex ship there and I believe you can use the cards worldwide.

I think the fees make them not worth using though.

You'll need to follow this:

A screenshot wont be sufficient proof but you should sign a message with the eth address if you want your account to be locked or tagged.

Hello
I received a notification with the content : '' Sorry catvantuong, you are banned from posting or sending personal messages on this forum.
You have been banned by a forum moderator. You may appeal here: banappeals-w6pquw43@theymos.e4ward.com . ''
I didn't know why i banned  ? I appealed  banappeals-w6pquw43@theymos.e4ward.com  .Please help me

Your suspectedly copy pasting in your reply. Im sure you already read some rules here in our forum. Permanent banned is the consequence of your move. Move on and create a new account. Be careful next time when you are posting. That is the common cause why some user here get ban.
I   already read  rules here in  forum . There is no law against copying and pasting valuable content.

You can't have read the rules because it states in two stickies that it's not allowed:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1684035.0

It should be pretty obvious to anyone that cheating by plagarising content is not acceptable. If you wanted to quote it then quote it properly and state your sources and comment on why you agree or think the same way. Just copy and pasting it is just a blatant lazy way to try get paid for work you didn't do.

It's not against the rules to have two or more accounts on one IP, but if one of you is banned then both of the accounts could be at risk.

See rule number 18: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0
4551  Other / Meta / Re: Forum ranks/positions/badges (What do those shiny coins under my name mean?) on: October 20, 2017, 07:40:06 AM
They're not asking anything. It's a donation. The price was fixed in btc and won't be changed because it was deemed it would be unfair to those who originally donated. More donator ranks with values pegged to fiat have been suggested though but no plans to implement them as of yet.
4552  Economy / Exchanges / Re: CoinBase on: October 19, 2017, 08:30:39 PM
Their customer service is non-existent in my experience and I'm not the only one if you check their reddit. I've had my money stuck on there for four plus months and contacted support 7+ times with not a single response at all. Completely unnaceptable. As for other exchanges the only other one I've used without any problems is Kraken.
4553  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Campaign does not pay on: October 19, 2017, 07:10:46 PM
If they scammed you (and others) then create a thread in Scam Accusations. If they just didn't pay you because you didn't meet the criteria or were shitposting then just suck it up (or open a thread in Reputation if you want to question the reasoning behind withholding payment).
4554  Other / Meta / Re: Is Bitcointalk Selling my Email? on: October 19, 2017, 12:54:12 PM
I am experiencing the same thing as the OP, and I wonder how these ICO's got my email address.

Read the thread. They obviously bought the hacked details from the forum leak:

No, but the forum database was hacked and leaked and these spammy scammy scumfuck ICOs just buy the mailing lists. I keep tagging any Icos who send me emails so hopefully they'll get the message.

Probably the ones who sells your email are ICO and sites where you submitted your email and slack (mostly slack because it's broken AF)

It's not that. I've never signed up for an ICO but I keep getting the spam. They're just buying a mailing list from somewhere.

October 2013: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=306878.0

There seems to have been quite a gap between the board getting hacked and then people actually selling hacked accounts from it. The hacker was asking for large sums for the leaked info initially but now you can probably buy it from most deepweb markets for fairly cheap. People pop up on here from time to time trying to sell it (though most are likely just scammers).

could there be some rogue agent intercepting communication on bitcointalk/theymos mail server

Could there be? Yes. Is there? I don't know. Are you sure you used a fresh email for every board? There are numerous crypto sites that have had their databases leaked.

Become at least a hero member here which means you successfully spent around 480 days on the forum.

It doesn't. Rank means nothing without reputation and a popular and consistent presence here. Anyone can buy a Hero+ account for probably $50 or so. If you don't have a lengthy history here with numerous trades under your belt then you shouldn't be offering to hold onto other's money.

The problem is that if you need people to trust you in order to gain trust, how can you make the first deal (i don't know if the point is quite clear here).

How do you become trusted in any situation? You build it over time. I think a good general rule for whether you're qualified or needed as an escrow is when multiple people start asking you to escrow their funds. If people don't already have that trust or faith in you then you probably shouldn't be escrowing.
4557  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: UK Members - Would you use a Bitcoin ATM? on: October 19, 2017, 08:53:14 AM
ATMs are great for newbies to get their hands on their first coins but I likely wouldn't use them due to the premiums and fees they charge.

no, i see btc as an investment not a thing for day to day use also our bank transfers are instant and free

Bank transfers aren't always free, especially to some exchanges.

I imagine some would, they have obviously been useful in Canada and USA. Surprised UK doesn't have any yet.

It does. There are several: https://coinatmradar.com/

Traditional culture, if understood in a broad sense, indicates all human activities such as religion, philosophy, moral standards, laws, politics, economic, society, history, literature and art, such as have been preserved, learned and transmitted in a given community or group over a long period of time and are passed from many generations but due to rapid modernisation people are not at all serious about there own culture and hence culture as well as tradition are fading away Sad Sad

It's a sad thing when copy and pasters stand out like a sore thumb amongst the one line shitposters because they posted something of semi-substance. The irony is is that it's probably more effort to find a response on google than it is to make up a sentence of hollow drivel.
4559  Other / Meta / Re: bitcointalk user grade lifespan on: October 18, 2017, 11:28:45 AM
Why should they automatically get a higher rank when they haven't even been active? Isn't the date registered enough for that? Not much point in giving something out merely for date registered or all these old hacked newbie accounts with only a few posts would be Legendary (or whatever). That's why the current activity system is a good indicator because if you haven't been actually active here date registered means little.
4560  Other / Meta / Re: allow topic starters to remove signatures. on: October 18, 2017, 02:35:18 AM
I wouldn't be against it, but it wouldn't work that well unless posts also didn't contribute to activity/post-count as lazy campaigns won't bother to deduct those posts. Shitposters will still create spam threads as well but it would be nice to have some actual threads that didn't quickly degrade into drivel.

If they simply do self-moderated threads then that curbs the majority of the spam, so long as the owner cares enough. I found that when I made self-modded threads the expected number of replies declines significantly.
The

Most people don't have time to police their own threads in such a way. It's far too time consuming and a massive headache to remove all the shitposts. Most people who self-mod just give up pretty quickly.
