Right boys and girls! Going to sit down and enjoy the next 90 mins of football. Played a nice Betbuilder at almost 5/1 for Liverpool, Salah, win both halves, clean sheet, 1 card, 8 corners. I don't really care as long as we win but we should use this game to get some confidence back!

Inter drew, Bayern almost dropped points. Crazy, crazy times!

@leea-1334: What a way to win, you did well in the pool too. I got yellow cap over there so am enjoying some very generous freebets meself =D

Hope you got your betbuilder bet cause Mo Salah got to score right at the end with a penalty awarded... so you just might have got your bet right. It ended 2-0 so clean sheet was there as well.

This is from the stream I was watching after he scored:

@ leea-1334   for a second i thought you actually got 15 correct results and won the whole thing LOL  congrats and enjoy those winnings! +1 invisible merit - Sent
Thank you very much! If I got all 15 correct I would be rich enough to retire actually,,, well not really but I would probably have 10 years of savings all at one go;)
Also winning, Leea-1334, WELL DONE! Multi Magic is darn hard these weeks with the strange Football results, so enjoy the 300 Mbtc!

THANK YOU I am definitely enjoying it now and wondering what I can do with it, maybe on my leave day play a lot of casino Wink I have not had good results since joining but tried a few draws for the big teams like United/Chelsea and it seems now people do not like to score a lot anymore.

Next Multi Magic is of course automatic selection for me.

Enjoy CL everyone. 1-1 Lokomotiv so far and I am soooo sleepy.
Maybe come join us at the multimasters thread too. Wink
Your welcome to come put in your picks if you wish too. Of course that would be up to you. Smiley
Damn tyKiwanuka.. so close... Still happy to see someone around from here to catch the prize. Would be great to have leea-1334 here around as well in Bctalk MM group  Cheesy.

Anyway seems like list for next MM is up. Time to be back at it again boys Cool


Here is the thread if you want to check it out for the next one is up and ready to put in your predictions.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5208617.msg55457703#msg55457703

There are a couple who are on the thread who have predicted 11 correct but shared the prize with the others who had the same, so having the winnings all to yourself is quite the accomplishment! Grin
Enjoy your winnings and just surprised to not have seen you on there in the past.

Fenerbahce has started the season badly but I think they will start winning from now on. As for Barcelona, they will take the win at the Spanish derby with the help of their squad quality.
Sounds good to me as I have Barcelona to win their next game.
They got to get their confidence back some how. Embarrassed

Back to the new multimasters. Wink
I think I only have two draws and the favorites to win.. so it will be another loss for me. As you all know there is always an upset or 5+ draws during these things. Undecided


Always worth but a dollar to try and get the 0.3btc prize jackpot just like leea-1334! Grin
Congratulations if you decide to visit our modest thread and put in your predictions for all to see. Cheesy

This is hiveos. If it's not there (it wasn't there for me until I did the following), then you just need to update or use the latest version of their os.
They released memtweak for phoenix miner since earlier this year.

8x580
phoenix 238mhs, clay 243mhs
why such difference? long time ago mined eth and phoenix was faster.
With Phoenix it's need to use AMD memory tweak tool to set REF parameter. Claymore can do this by -rxboost option. Phoenix not.
Yet. Hope the developer will soon add this feature.
I hope too. But dev several years didn't add this feature... Hope slowly dies...
AMD mem tweak is there!
You just need to set the value to 30.
Even though it states 20 is default I've found 30 works better according to some researching about it.

Now they just need to release version 5.2 already to fix the 4gb mining problem where the current release states those cards don't have enough vram to start mining. The warning in bright yellow is at the beginning of the process for detecting the cards you have installed in your rig.
And yes, the program has been like this for the past month from the beginning of October.
It is a problem Phoenix Miner Devs! Angry
Look: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5281830

Lolminer has already addressed the problem with their last release several weeks ago.

Yes it was someone from the forums as you said it was leea-1334:
OH MY GOD EVERYONE!!!

I did not even realize I won MultiMasters! Most of the games happened while I was asleep at I even did not realize I hit almost everything in last night. This is my first season to play and I thought it was really really tough but I just saw this notification in my account:

Congratulations! 🎉
Your winnings for participating in the Multi Master promo are now credited. Can you do it again next weekend? Check your mB wallet to see the reward!


And it is all there,,, I have never won a prize this big before in one game, for $1!!!

Thank you Steve and Sportsbet! My heart is still beating so hard:) Now I have to bet in every special every week!!
They won it now they should be a part of the group of winning 11. Grin

I think you won (shared in the prize pool) cause there was one player with 10 going into this last match and it ended in a draw.

I doubt they had it set as a draw. Embarrassed
With 2 minutes left to go Flamengo RS scored to tie it up. I could of had 8 but I will settle with not getting it correct if one of us can win the prize for sure!
Congrats if you did manage to clean it up at the end.
You deserve it with all the work you put into setting up the table graphics for us all to enjoy the competition a bit more each week!

How do you guys like my new singnature? Need to update it though its ba bit wonky.
It certainly is nicer on the eyes and yes, it does need to be stretched so it fills out the signature space out more, then it will be perfect micro. Wink

Nice promo for the UFC last night as everyone who bet on the heavy favorite Khabib won double their winnings cause he won by submission. Cool
Should be showing on our player accounts this time tomorrow as it says paid out in 48 hours after the fight completes.


Also, Despite those who are complaining about the sportsbook in the past couple of posts on the thread,
I am quite happy with the amount you are allowed to bet with and the limits I have received to wager on.
As you can see on my last ticket I placed with such as low amount allowed and have bet up to 0.075btc on a match before,
so I haven't had these sort of issues with your sportsbook section of the site. Grin

The notion of world series games going under, with high defensive skill coming into effect once it starts, is completely out the window.
I looked at the score and seen it 6-6 and then turned it off.
Woke up to see the rays won 8-7. Shocked
I would go for the overs as the bookies are having it o7.5 from now on for the rest of the games. Undecided

Nice collection of mindrust quotes. Never read them before. Gives a good insight into the "mindrust mindset"...
hey everyone has panic sold something at some point (admit now.. well, except bob with his titanium training) but that was.. well that was some next level shit.
I would like a wall of Mindtrust quotes..uhh.. for prosperity purposes. Cheesy
Do you think it would be meme worthy enough to make them postable? Undecided
This is interesting.  This is likely very positive.  I do not *think* they would be doing this if they were not bought into the ecosystem philosophically.  In other words if Bitcoin is just a precursor to PalCoin that's one thing... and I do not doubt PalCoin is likely.
I think this smells. They have known about Bitcoin and other crypto companies since 2012/2013. They could have bought any number of them then for cheap, and enabled crypto payments a long time ago.
So why now?
The likely culprit is that their profits are falling, and they're looking for another way to lock in users into their payment services platform. And also to scoop 0.5% on every crypto buy/sell. It is all greed driven, that is all. Absolutely nothing altruistic about it.
I CERTAINLY do not think PP's motivations are altruistic in any way.
But this continues to make my point.  Bitcoin does not care if you are altruistic or you are  bastard.  And it will crush you if you stand in it's way.  Over and over that has happened.  And I expect we will watch companies that try to game it, or own it, or overcome it, or break it be destroyed by it.  Possibly PP.
But I would think they can work any greed angle that aligns with the network.  Bitcoin does not care.
Also I think altruism can cause us to stand in the way of Bitcoin as well... and it will run over the altruistic just the same as the bastard.
Corporate money is and always be 'in it for the greed'. They don't do it for the sake of bitcoin's good in the world. Trust me on this one! Wink

Exactly.
The word "altruistic" is not in Bitcoin's vocabulary. In fact, it only understands 2048 words. The rest is hexadecimals and base58.
Cool! Grin
The more you know. Cool


hey everyone has panic sold something at some point (admit now.. well, except bob with his titanium training) but that was.. well that was some next level shit.
I still remember the "China bans bitcoin" crash of 2013 like it was yesterday. I was at the airport, watching the chart on my phone. It was all a nonstop sea of red straight down, and within an hour had falling well below my average buy in price. I felt sick, and certainly had many of these same thoughts.
But I hodled on. Refused to panic sell.
Yeah, it's happened to me too. In early January 2017 I had bought some coins around $1100 and then it dumped to under $800 (IIRC). I tried to sell on the way down, but Kraken saved me by not executing the order, due to their server s/w being run on ZX Spectrum 48Ks... Thank you Kraken, you saved me some losses from selling and rebuying.

So yeah, it's not so easy to keep your cool, especially in the early years of HoDLing. Would not do that now though. I feel I know how to handle it now, after years of HoDL hardening...
Seems like Kraken is doing something good.
Posted to their "bitstampie" like trading view to install as an app.

calling new improved Mark Karpeles reboot to head up Paypal BTC division

... it's actually a good thing, bitcoin could ruin paypal and if there's one bad implementation of legacy finance on the internet it is the abomination called paypal, that musk shat out when he didn't know any better.
The way big money corporations such as paypal, whos business is moving money around,
I wouldn't doubt they'd be looking for former experience in the space and who has had the primer of it than ex-boss of Mt.Gox

Paypal are green when it comes to cryptocurrency (they still have the clause 'can not use their services to buy cryptocurrency using paypal funds from another account holder' in their terms of service; they only want you to buy from them on their platform! Roll Eyes) and them assigning Karpeles thinking it will put a feather in their cap. Cheesy

Now, once again where does it rain?
On the plain! On the plain!
And where's that soggy plain?

This is my take about PP:
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

We have been gifted something which allows us to be our own bank and I do not care if Bitcoin is hard to be understood and used after eleven years.

I may concede that this could look like a battle won nonetheless if we can't bring more people on the real deal, eventually we will lose the war against incumbents which are slowly marching upon us.

Am I the only one here who thinks like this?  Roll Eyes

No the problem is too many agree with you.  All or nothing purists which come across as fanatical people.  At the moment I think you should understand an all or nothing attitude is not needed.   I am 98% in my own wallets. To not realize and argue against 98-02 ratios is not the best method.
They are doing this for the sole purpose of being a contender to square and microstrategy, they are just following them at this point and everybody can call it a copycat move if you are so hardpressed to express your option.
BUt even if you do it won't stop them from doing it. You can use it or not, that is your choice.
There are many with the same rebel against the system mentality and have swarmed on to reddit about it:
https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/jfiyvj/psa_paypal_is_a_terrible_custodian_of_both_funds

Some very valid points but it will not deter the powerhouse of paypal regardless.
They do have all of our information and there are alot of people who are onboarded with them from the very start. Embarrassed

From what they had put in their advertisement they will allow you to sell your crypto, but my question to that is: at what cost? Undecided
Atleast you will be able to purchase goods with the crypto you will purchase from them.

Buying from Ebay will be better cause I have had to sell my crypto at a loss to get paypal. If it is atleast 5-7% of the bitcoin value than I will be fine with that.

no, i will resist.

#$13kHaiku

That should get some things going, though. Curious about what the Trumpsters will do about it...
But paypal, c'mon! I don't think they would set sails in uncleared waters.

Just my uhm, opinion, man  Cheesy
The terms did say they will allow you to purchase with no fee until december 31st. Cheesy
They can charge you whatever they like for their crypto cause you know they won't be going by bitstamp or any other market prices. Wink

Another corporation is doing the 'treasury' thing
https://twitter.com/adam3us/status/1318873763073708040

Mode Global Holdings PLC, a U.K-listed company, has announced it will place 10% of its cash reserves into bitcoin as part of its treasury investment strategy.

Disclaimer:
given this was a CoinDesk story I have no idea of how much 10% of their treasury is worth, might be £10 for all I know.  They might just be off to put the contents of the petty cash tin into Paypal Wink
Quite right Kurious.
Best to hold off all the excitement until more context is actually released and the honeymoon period has been faded from all the fomo'ers.
