Privacy is a necessary feature in my opinion, but why hasn't Monero become a main coin?
One of the things that I've noticed about Monero is that it has been removed from a lot of big exchanges. My guess is that some people want to have certainty that they will be able to go to any mainstream exchange in the future and exchange their crypto for other type of money. Having Monero out of the big exchanges will probably not incentivize some of the big players, therefore reducing the potential price. |

each of them has bad and good experiences in each slot game, why do you say it is bad, because you haven't won it, but if you win you will say that it is a good slot, there is no benchmark for bad and good slots because everyone everyone has their own experiences, I don't think it's bad because maybe it's because you haven't won yet, just try to be patient and enjoy every round
Yeah, if you want to have some kind of benchmark, then you would have to look at statistics, and not a single person playing in a single machine. The expected return of gambling is negative, that is, the more probable outcome is that you will lose money. Having said that, it's still fun to gamble, so you could still have a good time and spend some money. And hey, you might have fun and win some extra money. |

~snip~ yes of course everything can change with future versions of GPT and specally if we end up really reaching AGI then some things we have no idea will happen have you seen Sora? new model by openAI for video, I was already really impressed by it last week. The thing that I find most fascinating is that we have powerful open source versions of these models. That means that someone, somewhere, is using these models to create an even better version. The only thing is that they might or might not publish their models, maybe they don't even publish their results. They might even become rich without telling a soul. Open Source models are also unconstrained in terms of any filter that any big tech company might add to their service, so they, in theory at least, should be better. |

has anyone tried to add btc usb miners to their futurebit apollos?
i'm just wondering if its possible to add like a USB hub and add some compact f usbs
It depends on the model you got. The full model is basically the miner and a mini pc, so you should be able to connect any other miner to it, like a compac F for example. If, on the other hand, you bought the miner only, then you don't have a computer in there to connect the miner. In fact you need a host computer to run this version of the Apollo. In that case you can use say a Raspberry Pi, and that Pi can also be connected to a compac F for example. So, at the end of the day, if you have an Apollo mining correctly now, you should be able to add a compac F to the system that is running it.
Can I point the FutureBit Apollo to a testnet mining pool or solo testnet mine?
I tried pointed it to a local Public Pool instance that's sitting on a testnet Bitcoin Core, but the FutureBit Apollo shows the pool as inactive (I even tried rebooting the futurebit).
Do I also need to update the FutureBit bitcoin.conf to testnet=1 and reboot--I would have thought the pool is doing the work of the testnet node behind the scenes...
You should be able to connect to it. Here's a guide I wrote to do just that, using a compac F as example, but should work the same with the Apollo: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5415335.0 |

It’s also possible that someone who still respects their job can gamble out of addiction (even if they are trying to be free from it). But like I said earlier, anyone who gambles during work for whatsoever reason should get fired, unless the job is not a professional one. You can gamble before or after, not just on duty. If I was the employer, I’d assume such person doesn’t have respect for the company and doesn’t know work ethics.
I'm not sure that would be a great rule for every single job. In some cases you have a lot of free time in a job, and if you gamble in that time instead of scrolling through social media, I don't think it would make too much of a difference. But, if you do get addicted and it starts to make your performance at work decrease, then that's another story. |

Gambling isn't an investment but if you take part with those bankrolls investment, you are investing on the casino and you're with them.
But if you gamble alone, you're the customer and gambler where they are earning.
~snip~
Although this takes time but this is more of an assured way for you to be an expert.
Yeah, you're spot on. The thing is that a lot of people believe the idea that a casino is a sure way of making money. It definitely is not. You can of course win some money, and some few people actually have managed to win big in casinos. But the reality is that the vast majority have lost more than what they have won. It's still a fun thing to do if you keep things under control though. |

I also don't think there is a single player in Argentina or Portugal who has the capacity to replace our two GOATs at the moment. These two players are an example of what a football player looks like at the peak. One is called "the machine" because of its incredible consistency and super hard training. The other is called "alien" because it is endowed with a natural will that may only appear once every 100 years. Both are the goals of all footballers in the world. I think the young players from Portugal and Argentina are very lucky to be able to play with them. And I think they both still deserve to be called upon to be a motivation for young players.
Yes, but when mentioning the term GOAT you have to include D10S and Pele. It's such a wonderful sport and I think instead of arguing who is the GOAT, it's best to enjoy them all. The more, the better in my mind. I want to keep watching the beautiful game with more and more GOATs. |

Yes, that's a problem in some families. Not in all families, because usually parents explain their kids that gambling, like engaging in sex and drinking alcohol and some other things, is not for people below 18.
I hope there will be more effective ways in the future to ban teenagers from gambling. It's just a matter of time.
Yeah, the brain still needs to develop to be able to process everything relating to gamble and other activities like drinking alcohol, etc. Choosing 18 or other age is a bit arbitrary though, as everyone develops at different rates, but to make a law you need to specify a number. And I would say 18 is quite alright, as it's also the time when you usually finish school, etc. It's a big change in your life. |

I tell you that some reasons that makes saudi become very popular like that in a short time.
1. Money
2. Ronaldo
I meant money is still playing the most important factor that helped the league to raise a lot of awareness from the football lovers. In my perspective, ronaldo will never ever join in the saudi pro league if it's not caused by the money. The club needs to buy a lot of european players to increase the engagement to the football lovers.
This is the main reason why saudi pro league becomes very popular in shorttime. I would like to put saudi pro league as the most popular league compared to the other asian league that is in the same level as saudi pro elague like chinese league.
~snip~
Many EU players have arrived to this league but i remind you that if some of them were also exodus back again to the european competition too. This could give SPL negative opinion regarding how bad the environment in the league.
The impact from the money wasted to buy european players can be faded away. SPL needs to take further action to prevent it to happen. Europan player which was going back to the EU league can also give negative opinion regarding SPL.
This problem must be addressed and i hope SPL will be aware about this coz it will make other EU players will refuse to join in the SPL club.
Yeah, at the end of the day it is the same reason that the European leagues became what they are today. Money. Most other leagues around the world don't used to pay as much as the European leagues did, so it was natural to have most of the players gravitate towards them. In the end what the Saudi Professional League is doing is what the European leagues did decades ago. I guess the main difference is that football is not very popular in Saudi Arabia, but things can change over time. |

No one is talking about Nikki Haley because there is virtually zero chance that she will win the Republican nomination. She is consistently polling between 10% to 30%, despite being the only remaining candidate apart from Donald Trump. And GOP support base in general agrees with Trump's views on the Russo-Ukrainian war. The US has spent hundreds of billions of USD on this war, to provide economic and military assistance to Ukraine. But what has they got in return? Russia is conquering one city after the other and a number of Ukrainian officials are being investigated for embezzlement and corruption.
Yeah, the thing is that it looks quite clear that Trump will win the Republican nomination. I don't think there's any competition there to be honest, and Nikki Haley is not even close. Most polls show a huge advantage to Trump against her. The way the voting system works in the US, you would be wasting your vote if you vote for someone with such a minority of votes. |

I don't want the 2026 world cup to be the worst year in Messi's career. I mean Messi has got everything in football. There is nothing else he pursues in football. Messi has become a legend and his rivalry with Ronaldo has been recorded in history. I don't have a problem if Messi is still called up for the 2026 world cup because we know Messi will really motivate young Argentine players. I just hope people don't have high expectations for Messi. And the coach also didn't put much pressure on Messi at the 2026 World Cup.
Yeah, I would much rather see Messi retire while being champion. I don't think that Messi will have a fantastic world cup now. I think he would have an amazing retirement now. But he's the one to make the call. Hard to stop doing something you like and you get paid a lot to do. |

Why you use child as an example if we talk about +18 ? The difference in understanding the world between 18 and 20 is little. There are people who are, lets say +30, and still are naive and believe in Santa Claus. For us, adults, 18 year old person is still a child, but in most countries that person is allowed to drink, smoke and gamble. And are you a chemistry teacher to talk about chemicals in the brain? Never heard about that. What chemicals are created during gambling? Suppose you are talking about dopamine, an organic chemical that we get when we get joy and expect rewards. But persons brain produce that during entire life.
You said that age is just a number. It isn't. Kids have a developing brain which is different to a developed one. Sure, if you compare 18 to 20 years old, their brain is similar. It's well known that gambling produces chemicals in the brain. Here's some background about it: Dopamine, a so-called neurotransmitter which helps nerve cells to communicate, is also known to be an important chemical in the brain’s reward system. One study also found that problem gamblers showed significantly higher levels of excitement when dopamine was released in their brains compared to healthy people. Yeah, you're spot on. Dopamine is partly the reason why people get addicted to things. |

Yes, self-control is really necessary when playing gambling so that we don't forget how long we can gamble and can also control the use of money. We cannot use much money to gamble, especially if we have a family with many needs that we must fulfill.
And we should not trust those who consider themselves experts in predicting matches, especially if they are people we don't know. Maybe we can use the predictions as additional data to find more clues in choosing the team. That will help us have more data so that our knowledge can increase.
Yeah, that's one of the key things you need to have if you want to build a better life. Sacrifice the present for a better future. If you only gamble everything today, you will probably have a bad future. But if you invest wisely today, you might have a great future. |

Absolutely, there isn't any need to gamble high any more as you are winning, it's a wise opportunity that the OP would take as the little money he's staking is returning in 2 times fold.
These are what greediness will cause as a gambler who is planning to win big money. So this says it is not easy to just keep on staking with low money and also winning small money. But it's a good idea to continue staking low and winning low as you are not on the losing position, seriously greediness will not allow a gambler to always staking low ajd winning low because he or she would like to win big money.
Yeah, that's what most people want. They want to basically have all their winnings when they bet a lot, and only lose when they bet a little. The thing is that it is impossible to know when you're going to win. You can know that on average you are going to lose gambling though, but not many people want to know that. |

Retirement should be taken with all seriousness at least if you are a government worker, because at that point, you can concentrate on building your own life and goals to accomplish something good for yourself at the old age time.
Bitcoin happens to be the best retirement decision for anyone since it doesn't require so much to maintain, and just by holding Bitcoin in your wallet you save yourself from a lot of pressure in the long run since inflation and taxation won't eat so much from it.
If you're planning to retire early I would still invest in other financial instruments, because BItcoin can go up and down in the short term. The worst thing to do is to have to sell your precious coins when they are down in value. Bitcoin is great for the long term though. |
