@wheelz1200. The Lakers are presently leading the game by 30 points. I might have gotten very excited to witness Miami lead by 11 points in the 1st quarter hehehe.

Are opinion polls more accurate or are the sportsbooks odds more accurate? I had this discussion with @bryant.coleman.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5237990.msg55259079#msg55259079

Would the whale bettors not treat this similar to a new of an injured player before a basketball game and move the odds if the opinion polls were more accurate?
4943  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2019-2020 betting on: October 01, 2020, 01:29:46 AM
I think this might be one of the easiest bets in the playoffs so far.  I think the lakers win by 15 here.  Lebron smells blood and he is not going down 1-0 to the heat no way.  Good chance dude posts a triple double tonight and AD scores 30+.  Predict a boring lakers championship 4 or 5 games.

How many games have the Miami Heat have beaten the spread in this playoffs? I reckon they are being very underestimated. Their win versus the Bucks should have proven that they might have a better odds to win against any team.

Also, Erik Spoelstra might know how to play against Lebron hehehe.

It appears that Pacman and Conor might be the promoters of this fight. I am not certain how trustworthy is this journalist, however. The source was not mentioned.

In any case, I am hoping for the MMA fans to hype Conor for better odds on Pacman hehehe.



Statement from Senator @MannyPacquiao (1 of x): “At the present time, I do not have an existing management contract with @AudieAttar. I have formed my own company, Pac Sports and Entertainment, and am more than willing to give the fans what they want: (MORE)

Senator @MannyPacquiao statement (2 of 2): An exciting fight with @TheNotoriousMMA under terms and conditions where I am the co-promoter with my company. Thank you and God bless.”

It has taken Filecoin development team 3 years before launching their network. How much more years does everyone predict will the Ethereum development team launch Eth 2.0? Also 3?

Three years after its $205 million initial coin offering (ICO), Filecoin has said its live network is about to launch.

The article is outdated, they were able to secure funds for until this year so those supporting services to OB and their app won't shutdown in Oct 1. The end game doesn't change though, unless they can fix what they lacked-- enough users/working business model.  Relying on donations to run without enough userbase won't work either as it is unsustainable.

BREAKING NEWS!

An anonymous donor has agreed to cover the costs to run OpenBazaar infrastructure through at least the end of the year.

and looks like OB1 won't be the main dev?

The future of @openbazaar will be more independence from @OB1Company. More news on that soon.

The tweet mentioned that the donation was only good for until the end of this year, however.

Also, this does not change the description that Openbazaar might be something similar to a webbrowser that is only wanted by a very small segment of users.

@zasad@. The skeptical me thinks that this is the beginning of the Defi exit scams. He tweeted about his not completed and unaudited smart contract and then suddenly from his deployer account, an attacker deposited $8 million?

4948  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Openbazaar needs your support on: September 30, 2020, 04:11:57 AM
OpenBazaar made a nice attempt. Buy after a few years of peripherally watching their platform, it doesn't seem like they moved that much forward unfortunately; and quite surprisingly too since I don't think they even have a close competitor.

Imo it seems like their time is cut short unfortunately, but I applaud them for their attempt.

They certainly deserve the applause. However, would you give them support by donating to their address or do you reckon they should stop and accept defeat?

@Darker45. This is not a good sign if we can only hope for the genuine supporters to be sincere in their advocacy of bitcoin.

What they say might be different from what they do.
4950  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Openbazaar needs your support on: September 30, 2020, 01:27:08 AM
After 6 years, it appears that this implies that the cryptospace does not need a decentralized marketplace. There were also people in the community that described Openbazaar as something similar to a webbrowser for a very small segment of users. Thy are slowly proven to be correct.

It needs your support.


Over the past several months, we have been relying on OpenBazaar’s donation funds to support these infrastructure costs, but those funds will be depleted shortly. At OB1, we have desperately tried to secure more funding to not only maintain OpenBazaar’s support costs, but execute the next phase of the protocol that we believe can unlock explosive user adoption. Sadly, we have been unsuccessful and have no choice but to discontinue these supporting services.
We would like to apologize for the short notice, which is the result of last minute funding plans falling-through. We will do everything in our power to try and extend the window so that users can safely withdraw their funds from their OpenBazaar and Haven wallets.

If you have been positively impacted by OpenBazaar or you believe in the mission & vision of a global decentralized marketplace, we need your financial support today. Please consider donating at the following addresses:

The Ravens defense is not as good against the Chiefs in this game, I reckon. The score is 34 - 20 with only 7:00 in the clock on the 4th quarter.

Lamar is taking risks throwing the ball far and long.

Also, what sportsbook in the cryptospace offers NFL MVP futures? Josh Allen is my bet for MVP hehe.

Also, calling their projects Defi is only a promotional tool. They are Cefi hehehe.

Read this article. I support the affected exchange and projects to do everything to stop the hacker, however, this is not how a real decentralized Defi protocol is supposed to work.



Orion Protocol has updated its smart contract to render $8.5 million stolen tokens obsolete, Covesting has frozen the $520,000 stolen, and KardiaChain has invalidated $9 million worth of tokens.

Crypto company Velo Labs announced that it will invalidate all of the 122 million VELO tokens stolen in the hack, worth about $76 million. VIDT Datalink will freeze 14 million VIDT, worth about $6.4 million. SilentNotary will replace all of its tokens, including the $94,692 affected, and Ocean Protocol paused its smart contract after $8.6 million was lost.

@Darker45. I reckon those days of idealism and principle in the cryptospace are gone. This has been proven after a group of bitcoin maximalists and Ethereum critics have issued their ICO token in Ethereum hehehehe.
4954  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2020-09-12]Researcher kept a Bitcoin bug secret for 2 years to prevent attacks on: September 29, 2020, 12:48:51 AM
@slaman29, @Kakmakr. Bug bounties have never existed in many opensource projects unless someone organizes this for them.

Also, agreed! Good question because what are the trying hard influencers in the B Foundation doing about this? They only want influence with no effort? I reckon organizing a bug bounty should be their job.
4955  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: September 28, 2020, 04:38:56 AM
The Saints have lost again because of their horrible defense. I speculated them to have a chance to finish well in their division, however, similar to the Vikings it might not be so. They are the biggest dissappoinents of 2020, I reckon.
4956  Economy / Gambling / Re: Cloudbet | Bitcoin Casino & Sportsbook | The No.1 Bitcoin Gambling Site on: September 28, 2020, 03:35:06 AM
@efxes. That is normal practice for all casinos and gambling services against money laundering. Have you given your identification or has Cloudbet asked for your documents? You should have them ready, I reckon.
4957  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2019-2020 betting on: September 28, 2020, 02:52:35 AM
Congratulations to everyone who bet on Miami especially to @Harkorede hehehe.

What does everyone reckon on what the oddsmakers' spread might be on game 1 of the championship? I speculate -6.5. Lakers might cover this very easily, however.
4958  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2020-09-12]Researcher kept a Bitcoin bug secret for 2 years to prevent attacks on: September 28, 2020, 02:21:59 AM
@Harlot. However, the title of the article is clickbait that implies something else. I am shaking my head on why many mainstream news outlets have the need to do something like this.
4959  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2019-2020 betting on: September 26, 2020, 03:50:29 AM
This game ended similar to game 3 with the Heat leading in the beginning and then ending with the Celtics snatching the lead beginning on the 3rd quarter.

What changed in this game? Was Erik Spoelstra's tactics for game 5 different from games 1, 2 and 4 and similar to game 3?
4960  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2020-09-10] Community-Funded Bitcoin Awareness Campaign Unveiled in Hong Kong on: September 26, 2020, 03:21:52 AM
What has Hong Kong done to stop Beijing from implementing the security law?
The moment the UK decided to honor their treaty in 97 was the moment the fate of HK was sealed.

Exactly! It was the moment the countdown began. And, just recently, the thing has happened. Hong Kong has now lost its freedom. Hong Kong's democracy was a ticking bomb the moment the UK turned it over to China.

@Darker45. The motives for any cryptocoin ad campaign is always similar. To hype, pump and the whales to dump on the community again. The people behind this ad campaign does not care for the people's freedom.

Bitcoin cannot be compared to "any cryptocoin." The ad campaign that we are talking here is not even initiated by Bitcoin itself, its fund not coming from Bitcoin, the people involved not in any way under payroll from Bitcoin, and so on. They appear to me as mere advocates and enthusiasts who are probably shelling out money from their own pockets for this. Of course, they too have their own BTC, so they will of course gain something if Bitcoin becomes more popular. We all will.

I don't know where you're coming from in saying that the people behind this initiative does not care for the people's freedom.

You should know where I am coming from. We see this everyday. No one cares for bitcoin as a medium of exchange anymore. Everyone appears to only celebrate bitcoin as a speculative investment by declaring it to be a store of value.

Also, be your own bank and similar phrases were invented by larpers to hype and dump on you. Sorry for being skeptical.
