So it looks like the Olympics this year has been postponed and rescheduled for July 23- Aug 8 2021 based on https://tokyo2020.org/en/.

We do hope that by that time, this pandemic is over and everyone is back to normal. So we need to wait for a full year before we can witnessed the greatest sporting event.
4902  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Tron's Justin Sun Offers $1 Million Bounty For Twitter Hackers on: July 18, 2020, 11:04:59 AM
Justin Sun is still making his publicity stunts. And with this bounty being much bigger than the sum that was stolen, perhaps he is thinking that no one will come to claim it? After all, if there were multiple hackers, only one of them can snitch on the others to claim the bounty, and then it might still mean jail time for them. Plus there's a risk that Justin Sun won't uphold his word.

But I wonder if some chainanalysis company will somehow manage to track down the hackers, would Justin pay the bounty to them?
We all know that Justin will jump on every opportunity to get any publicity, after all he was given the title shill god. It's good to hear that he is offering the bounty, and I'm sure bounty hunters will be hunt on the tail for this hackers. If he is true to his words then he should pay them. So this will be a cat and mouse game, hackers using tumbling services or even privacy coins like monero to hide their foot prints.

Just to be clear, it was not Google Store that has launched this, it was the criminals who used Google's platform to run this SCAM. I think this should also be moved to Scam Accusations board for maximum exposure.

4904  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slot random algorithm for bonus game on: July 17, 2020, 09:40:10 PM
Does the bonus happen frequently at 35spins? How frequently? And how about the 350spins...i mean how frequently does the spin gives you the Bonuses? I guess if  you really get the bonus frequently at both (35 & 350spins)  spins then it could have some predictability to the "randomness". Maybe you just focus more on spinning at 35 & 350 to see if they are part of the answer. Just my opinion. Don't know much about the games

No, it doesn't work that way, there is no predictability in randomness, and as you get more data, not just 350 spins, you will really find out that it is completely random. You can get lucky to hit it in less than 35 spin or 350 spin, but that's about it. You can drain your money in minutes specially if you are a max bettor and never hit the bonus. And even if you hit the bonus, there's also no guarantee that you can get a good return, you can also get $0 bonus return, that's why slots games are very difficult to win.
4905  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Scammers favorite tools on: July 17, 2020, 12:18:15 PM
Sorry to say but some artificial intelligence projects are over exaggerated, it's like chasing something that can never be possible, the only A.I Projects I can support must be reasonable fair, like A. I messengers application etc
Never heard of https://sophon.ai/ ?

AI project sounds as bullshit, unless it was collectively feed processing power but that doesn't exist.

Exactly, I've heard projects talking about AI and stuff, but at the end of the day, they are all scams and never proven to really have a good case, except hyping their project. And I believed that they are really exaggerated to really look like that project is the next big thing in crypto and AI, but so far no one has proven to be successful.

To be fair to that person, the hodl mentality wasn't introduce until 2013 if I'm not mistaken. So maybe those early adopters doesn't have that concept and simply buying the hype and then liquidating them specially if they have profited. Regrets? Just remember the Pizza guy to understand what regrets really means.
4907  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Oldest scam in the book can help you make money on: July 17, 2020, 10:53:31 AM
People that send the money believes a lot in the Twitter handlers that posted. For instance a strong follower and believers of Barack Obama will take his tweet about giveaway serious and might have no reasonable doubt not to send the money. The hackers don't generally select the account but specifically go for account that people hold trust in them. If not, I believe they would have target accounts such as Donald trump page. I strongly believe everyone deserve to be happy and whoever send money should get their money back if the hackers are apprehended
It's because the tweet really came from the real account themselves and initially it is hard to distinguished if this is a scam or not. And if you look at the addresses, it is just small amount that has accumulated overtime. So the hackers hand pick which account to use in his scamming. So for me you can't blame those who send to that scammers, and it's too late because its been hours later before  twitter acknowledge the hack. There's always two sides on a story.
4908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Jeff Horn vs. Tim Tszyu on: July 16, 2020, 11:24:11 PM
it isn't Jeff Horn who got the most paid fight with Pacquiao? Not the professional profit for the boxing tho, but for what he pay for the judges lol. Scored unanimous after Pacman slaughtered him in the ring, I'm skeptical with this guys. Now his opponent is undefeated champ, guess they'll be into clash, toe-to-toe fight, I'm all in for Tim after what he did with Pacman. Any undefeated want to keep their record, 1 up for Tszyu.
I'm all for Tim Tszyu too since I am not quite a fan of Jeff Horn after what they did to Pacman despite of how unprofessional he is with the referee/judges. Well, justice been served though when he lost to Terence Crawford but there's no satisfying than to see this guy kiss the canvas if Pacman do it to him. Tongue
Hahaha, I agree, Crawford school that mofo for good, I think this will be a good venue for the young Tim Tszyu and retire this bully for good. Pacman didn't lost that fight to him, it was handed to Horn before the fight even started, home grown decision. And Tim has his father behind him, a great champion himself so I'm going to Tim being the young and has more to proved to Aussie boxing fans.
4909  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum fees are becoming like Bitcoin fees on: July 16, 2020, 11:07:30 PM
The fees are high because miners probably overwhelm the network to collect higher fees for transactions. I do not understand why developers do not come with any fix that will solve this problem.  Roll Eyes
This is not true, the fees on ethereum chain is still stable at this moment. It looks like he was missing something about this. The solution will be fully implemented in the next update and you must watch what will be implemented after serenity update.
So here we go again? The last time that we heard about newbies complaining about ETH gas fees is during cryptokitties rise 2018 if I'm not mistaken. So to the OP, you really need to learn how to set up gas fees similar to bitcoin. There could be updates coming, but everyone should understand the economics of crypto mining, sometimes the gas fees will really shoot off because there are a lot of transactions happening. But most of the time it will flatten out and be back to normal.
4910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING ]: Fury vs Wilder III in Las Vegas on 18th July 2020 !!! on: July 15, 2020, 07:08:06 AM
The reason Wilder took the third fight is because his ego is not accepting the defeat and even though there were talks about paying him off it was evident his ego will not allow that to happen and he was even questioning the legacy of Mike Tyson in the past few months about the top fighters he faced during his career.

This is the last chance he gets he needs to give it all in this fight because Fury might get retired after this fight. As I said before, He needs to come up with a new kind of strategy to counter Fury's veteran's moves. If he won't change his strategy and didn't acquire any traits from the training, history will repeat and Wilder will face another humiliating loss again. Fury can quickly adapt to Wilder's new movement he needs to remember that as most of the veterans acquired this kind of skill from the countless fight of their career.                                                   
If Fury wins, I doubt that he will retire, he has agreed to fight AJ in the future, with all British heavyweight fight, so that's a lot of money as well. As far as his trilogy with Wilder, Arum being the promoter he is, and with his history of making tons of money, he will wait for the perfect time to make this fight happen with fans, as least 3/4 of their targeted revenue can still be achieved and hit even if we are still in the pandemic.
4911  Economy / Speculation / Re: Miner's Strike! on: July 15, 2020, 06:46:57 AM
That OTC market is not something magical where you can go and sell at any hour of the day any amount, if there is no demand the miner has nowhere to sell. If the OTC deals were taking care of twice the volume in the past it either means that OTC dealers now get their supply for other sources which of course should have been seen in the price or, simply there is no demand at all and the whole thing about miners dealing mostly OTC was another myth.
There are two possibilities:
Miners still able to sell only through OTC or miners prefer to hold with the plan of selling my Christmas times.
Because, we are not having prices drastically falling if there is no enough demand in OTC markets and miners move into spot markets.
That's one possibility that they are going the OTC route, but the thing is that it won't affect the price drastically and we might not even know it.

Yes before halving, miners might have been selling twice the amount of BTC than what they may do right now which makes us to assume that no selling pressure is being created by miners but obviously bitcoin market is lagging with new investors after pandemic. Fortunately bitcoin prices are stable which means new block rewards are somehow within the range of pandemic-hit demand levels. So, if there will be a recovery in our normal life which will impact on investors level as well so we can expect BTC prices to skyrocket because we are having lesser supply than what we had in last 4 years.
We can only assume as we are still in the pandemic. Its good to see the that price is relatively stable, maybe the demand is not that high today. But it will soon evolve as well, and we are hitting record high as far as hashrate is concern, so there's no miners strike at all.
4912  Economy / Speculation / Re: 'Ferocious Rally': Weiss Ratings Bullish on Bitcoin, Price to Hit $70K Next Year on: July 15, 2020, 02:49:09 AM
I love how they call it "Ferocious Rally", first time that I heard that adjective being used to define future bitcoin bull runs. I guess it's just a matter of time before we hit that numbers, but with the pandemic still around, I doubt that we can get to it next year though. Investors are still unwilling because of the looming financial crisis due to Covid-19. I really don't know if this "quantitative easing" will benefit bitcoin or crypto in general. We have seen the Feds pumping money last May, but it didn't have that much effect on the price long term.
4913  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [SCAM Alert] Cradano (ADA) fake giveaway. Promoted by hacked youtube channel. on: July 15, 2020, 02:09:35 AM
Are these Youtube channels really hacked or they sold it to these scammers there's to many of this right now, the scam section is now populated with reports of scam Youtube and Facebook giveaway, I'd like to believe that these Youtube owners sold their channels to these scammers.
It doesn't matter if these is sold account, it is pretty obvious that the themes have suddenly change into a scamming channel. Or maybe you can asked yourself, you have work so hard to build your channel for a while, it takes years and then you suddenly sold it to scammers? Scammers are talking advantage of ADA because it is making a good gains in the last couple of days and pushing it bad narratives to victimised crypto investors.
4914  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Philippines SEC warns against crypto investment. on: July 15, 2020, 01:55:46 AM
There are many countries in the world who say they will do it but do not implement it. Yes, some countries have banded crypto investment for their country. But the situation in the Philippines has gotten so bad that the government has been forced to do it. I think this is a good initiative of the government to save the people of the country from scmmers

It all varies on its citizens because no matter how they do imposed strict regulations or some sort if people of that country is still too greedy when it comes to any investment
Greediness + investments come hand in hand, that's why it is called investment in the first place because they wanted to grow their money. And they think that the can multiple it rapidly.

then for sure they would really be ending up on being a victim of any scams out there not only limited to crypto  but also on traditional way of things.

People should learn up much on how these scams work and dont let themselves to fall due to their greed.
And with scammers sweet talk, anyone can really fall for this trick. But at least the government is giving the warning before it is too late, so nothing is wrong with that.
4915  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Upgrade Stole My Bitcoin on: July 15, 2020, 01:06:46 AM
The thought of losing just a few satoshi from this scammers and unimaginable, what more for 3.5 BTC. I hate to say this, but to really learn our lessons here, most of time we need to be a victim before we realised what we really need to do on how to protect our assets. This scammers are not going to stop here, they will continue until they victimised again. Electrum is one of the best wallet out there, if you really know how to used them.
4916  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: LTC out of top 10 coins on: July 14, 2020, 11:30:53 AM
But according to https://www.coingecko.com/en, LTC still ranks number 8. So it really depends on where you look at it, but nevertheless it is already losing a lot of value as ADA and LINK are making a good run. LTC is still a solid coin though, it has been in the market for many years although it doesn't have any purpose except being the "little brother" of BTC and has been used as testing ground like the halvening. So probably in the next coming months it could really be out of the top 10 altcoins.
4917  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Are Ads on Coinmarketcap Legitimate? on: July 14, 2020, 10:49:11 AM
We often see coinmarketcap has lots of ads like advertisements that say give ETH bonuses and so on.
It is just advertisements, so I still wouldn't trust it just because it is being shown in coinmarketcap.

Because now Coinmarketcap is owned by CZ, do they research that project or only accept money without doing research?
We will see, but remember that CZ has investments millions of money here, so he will definitely accepts projects wanting to advertise on their platform. So there is still that risk, that they can't filter out scam projects and could advertisement them inadvertently. We still need to look at every project that you are going to invest.
4918  Economy / Speculation / Re: Would you buy/use Bitcoin if you knew its price would not reach a new ATH? on: July 14, 2020, 10:33:36 AM
I voted Yes, been buying/earning bitcoin in 2017 and I have used it literally like a currency to pay my basic needs up to this day. Of course a new ATH will be great and have been an upside specially if you have bought and then the price suddenly jumps some X%. And I think people will continue to buy despite the price going somewhat stable. It's been a stable for investors, specially when we talk diversification.
4919  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how big? on: July 14, 2020, 10:11:35 AM

         416,141 - total wagered
less : 214-861 -Won by users.

total: 201280, based on the current rate, (http://preev.com/)


201280 wagered doesnt mean that thats the total amount that they had generated in terms of profits and this is where you do consider on calculating the house edge.
When it  comes to true statistics on how much these casinos been earning then this one is mostly on the private part excluding to those who do show off numbers
but we cant still ensure that those are real-time ones or excluding out some part of it. We wouldnt able to know behind.

416,141 btc  was the total amount wagered, the 201280 btc was their net revenue from the start of their operation, so they have turned their casino to a billion dollar business already. Kindly review the computation and please get back to me if there's an error in the computation.
We wouldn't know the real numbers, I agree, but at least we have a ball park number on how one casino can make profits in about 5 years time and that is a huge money. And that is just one casino alone, maybe there are big casinos also operation and the profits are close to that numbers or some new casinos that are on the way to target that amount. So online casinos are really getting bigger.
4920  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: My eye opening advice about crypto projects on: July 14, 2020, 09:57:41 AM
I agree with the utilities, we haven't seen any project that has real life usage or has a complete use case. Almost all of the projects that are mushrooming are simply a copy of previous successful projects. But what makes it sad is that there are still a lot of inexperienced investors that still fall for this kind of frauds. They thought it will be the next big project, jump on the bandwagon without research and then complain when they have lost a lot of money.
