-snip-
 - Mixer sigs will be affected by the wordfilter on Jan 1. After a few days (ie. not immediately on Jan 1), signatures containing any of the wordfiltered URLs will be blanked. I haven't decided yet whether I'll remove old mixer avatars: if I do, it won't be for at least a few weeks after Jan 1. (New mixer avatars definitely aren't allowed.)
Is this thread an example of how the wordfilter will be implemented later ?
And this is a user who still use signature containing the wordfiltered.
In this example, the word filtered site is replaced wherever it is found with [banned site]. But in the case of mixers, their sites aren't banned, maybe theymos will coin another phrase for the mixers.
Speaking about the signatures, the URL will also be word filtered. But what about the image designs in the ANN thread that are always bold like a billboard?

I was surprised to see that buying and selling accounts is not prohibited in this forum. But looking into it I only saw offers that looked like scams (based on the red alert that flags on top of them).

So I'm wondering if there truly are account sellers. Or even buyers! Is this a liquid market? How much would someone pay on average for a M/Full M/Sr. M/Hero M/L account?
The offers look like a scam because they sellers were tagged. If you go to service board and create such a thread of selling account, your profile will also be painted with red even if you actually want to sell accounts genuinely.

If I may ask, are there still clean accounts for sell? I guess some of the accounts for sell are accounts with reputational issues.

Do you think this post deserved to get 23 merits?, that's the first post of brand new user who registered in December 17, 2023. @OP is also a brand new user who earn a lot merit from his first post, so... do you get what I mean? Roll Eyes
Now, you have to beg Apocollapse to stop digging more. Maybe any post that has few lines of code in them deserves any amount of merits.

I understand that Manchester United is far from playing their best football. With the way other teams are performing it will be hard for them to make the champoins league spot. What Manchester United should do is to take their focus off the top 4 and make sure they can make the Europa league next season. But they should focus more on rebuilding the team next season.
Rather than forcing to qualify for Champions or Europa League, it's better for them to develop their club first.

They need to find two wingers, midfielders and few defenders. Although Onana sometimes make mistakes, but we have Bayindir who can replace Onana. While the other positions I mentioned before, Manchester United really lack of good players.
If I may ask, how does a club focus on one trophy like the champions league or the Europa League? You cannot have a target when you don't have a squad to actualise your goals. Manchester United is not in the race to qualify for the champions league and neither are they in the race to qualify for the Europa League. They are just playing without focus. Whenever it gets to a stage that club will be celebrating draw like a win, you will understand that the club is in trouble.

Chelsea is in the state that I described above. We saw it when they drew with Manchester city 4 : 4, the celebrated like they won and their subsequent matches were disaster. Last week, Manchester United drew with Liverpool and celebrated as if they won the league. Something is wrong.

Real Madrid has always been a top performer when it comes to the champions league,all season,they've always been the team with a good performance,and even despite not having the names that used to be there and give them that experience,but now,they currently have a squad that is full of young talents who are capable of winning the Champions league as well.

However,Arsenal, Dortmund,and Manchester City are other teams who may win the league as well,and after the round of 16,we would know the teams who can really go through to the final with the performance that will be displayed in this round.
Real Madrid might be experiencing inconsistent results in La Liga but they can be able to deliver when it's time for them to play tough matches. Real Madrid is the best club when it comes to winning major trophies and competing in elite competitions. They have the right players, an experience coach and die-hard fans that channel their energy to becoming one of the best leading club. Mentioning Arsenal and Borrusia Dortmund, they can proves to be competitive within due time and gets knockout when the main business arises.

One person I respect much in the Real Madrid squad is their fatherly figure coach - Ancelotti. He is a man of wisdom and experience and he uses both as his unconquered armour. How he blends the strength of the young players with experience of the old players to produce unique results amazes me. Gradually, he has gotten a consistently good squad such that the young ones can do what we know about Real Madrid.
Currently that many players are injured but the effect is not felt. Real Madrid is obviously a strong contender of the champions league and they can win it, especially as the defending champion which is Manchester city has dropped two steps from the last season form.

At the current market condition and having bull run in mind, these persons have $10,000 to invest.

  • Mr. Bob goes 100% with bitcoin.
  • Miss Alice goes 50% bitcoin and 50% random altcoins.
  • Mr. theymos goes with bitcoin but $100 weekly DCA.

Tricky question, I think that going with Bitcoin is the key at the moment to take advantage of all the upside potential that will come with the halving next year and all the new BTC ETFs being created. The question of course now is when another price jump is going to happen. So far, the Bitcoin journey in the last few months has been awesome and it's hard to say if the short term trend is going to continue like that or if we are seeing a price correction before the next bull run. Which is why I would probably prefer to use the DCA method to invest my BTC, but not with 100 USD per week which is too low. To invest our 10,000 USD at 100 USD per week, it would take us close to 2 years to get fully invested in Bitcoins. The weekly purchase rate should be better around 400 USD, so that we would be fully invested after 6 months.  

Nice answer, and I think I have read this kind of answer above. The person said that Mr theymos strategy is good but he needs to step up his weekly DCA to atleast $400. Which is exactly what you are saying here.
With $400, even if the bull continues from here, theymos will be able to buy better fractions of Bitcoin within 6 months than within 2 years. If in the other hand, bitcoin price drops, the impact will not be felt much by theymos unlike as it will impact Bob.

How do you deal with the situation where people who you are close to like family and friends are constantly demanding for one kind of financial assistance or the other. It is not possible to help everyone, so how do you handle it and make sure that giving and trying to help people do not turn into a problem for you. How about people who borrow money from you and never return it or even show any effort to make payment back to you, how did you go about the situation?

Many things have happened to me about borrowing and giving to friends. One thing is that when they know you have the mind of giving, more and more people will keep approaching you for giving or fake borrowing untill you go broke. If you stop helping, no one will die of course.

There's one that happened to me recently. Someone called me to lend him $200 that he will repay in month time. I was unable to lend him because I exhausted my fund for charity that month. Can you imagine that exactly the same day he promised to pay back the money, he chatted me up and was asking for any amount of money to fill gas. I sent him money for gas, and was like, assuming I gave that $200, there was no how it would be repaid.

Good thing Palmer has scored, Chelsea Leads by 1

Chelsea's opponent is a team at the bottom of the standings. I hope they can be more aggressive, not just satisfied with the current 2 score lead. they had very few chances even against the team that conceded the most goals this season.
Chelsea is facing serious problems with their team's performance. Who knows what's wrong with Pochettino's strategy, Chelsea is very inconsistent in their game. and that was a serious problem for him, otherwise maybe they would replace a new coach.

Chelsea's ability to win Shelfield United shouldn't be a crown to their head. I will not count their win as something serious, rather than they have made 3 points from the match. Chelsea next meeting will be against Newcastle United in EFL cup, maybe it is there we will determine the consistency of Chelsea

Palmer who is Manchester city old man is doing well in Chelsea FC as he is highly involved in the 2 goals scored against Shelfield United this afternoon.
508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which one is fun, watching with bet or without a bet? on: December 16, 2023, 03:57:09 PM
Just trying to get the communities opinion based on their experience about the topic.

Personally, a a bettor, I find it very stressful when watching the game you are betting especially if it will end up a losing bet.

If we have the same experience, how do you cope up with that problem, after all, gambling should be fun but why we have this kind of feeling that we feel disappointed when our bet loses?
My experience is the other way round. There was when I was so uninterested about watching football due to many engagements that I have. If I do not place bet on that particular match, I will not find interest watching it. Or even if I didn't place bet, I will just follow the live bet and be betting the match live, that also gives me joy and alot of entertainment.

Gradually, I didn't understand how I overcame the situation. Now I can watch any match without betting on the match.
509  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 16, 2023, 03:51:24 PM
Today will be an interesting match Newcastle vs Fulham... Probably Newcastle after the failure in the Champions League should win this game, but Fulham are also playing well now... I think that both teams will score here...
It's better to bet on both teams scoring than winning between the two still hard to imagine if Fulham win again.  Cheesy

Newcastle must be able to rise from this successive defeat indeed in the champion league The Magpies are still unlucky to lose despite being superior in the first half, but they must now focus on the League in order to get a champion league ticket again even though it is not an easy task, I think they can play more aggressively again.

We thought about Fulham how they scored more goals, maybe this game will be a bit different.

I think Newcastle has lost 3 consecutive times already. Two in the English premier League while one in the Champions League. This consecutive losses only leads to further doom and not the other way round. If a club wants to pick after the first lose, it is easy but once the lose is upto 3, it is always difficult to rebounce.

In the other way round, Fulham has been in an excellent performance recently and they are known in scoring high number of goals. So, it is nice that the match will play over 2.5 goals and possibly both teams to score.
510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 15, 2023, 02:37:02 PM
I don't expect any surprise to be made by Manchester United in their next game in the league. Because there is a huge gap between Liverpool and Manchester United right now. Liverpool are a title contender and started the season much better than the previous season. Manchester United are quite behind them in performance and in points as well.

There is a big weakness in Manchester United defense at the moment. Even their most qualified defenders are playing badly such as Varane and Casemiro. Martinez is still injured as far as I know. We must be all remembering what Liverpool did to them at Anfield in the previous season. I expect Liverpool to win comfortably here.
Manchester United has proven to their fans and the entire football world that they have nothing to achieve this season. I said so because English premier League is not an easy one this very season and considering the meeting between Manchester United and Liverpool, you will understand that the form of Manchester United is quite below that of Liverpool and also recall that Manchester United talisman - Bruno will be absent in that very match, I do not have high expectations for Manchester United.

Tottenham was back to their winning ways with a home win against Newcastle United in the Premier League. I think Tottenham will beat Nottingham Forest today, to keep the Premier League top-four hope alive.
Spurs would eagerly want to make it two consecutive victories after initially going five games without a win, their latest victory against Newcastle was convincing, but they now have to be consistent to win again and try to go on a winning run. It is not going to be an easy game to win, especially as Forest is at home, both Steve and Ange would be desperate for the win, but my prediction is that the game is going to end in a draw, i can't see a winner in this one.
Spurs can return to their excellent form which they started the season with only if they remain committed like they did in their last match.

Hehehehe, its quite hilarious but if you notice it's an ad which means the girl was paid to act like she likes it. Some who haven't heard of Bitcoin may be curious and may want to know more, hence creating an avenue for more discussion and possible relationship whereas there's those who don't dig it and may be put out by the guy's approach and even consider it a lame effort at striking a conversation.
The ad was not satisfying to watch honestly. I mean there's no real life correlation. You walk into a public space and hands your head to a stranger and the stranger listens and heard bitcoin and immediately fell in love Grin

OP, where did you bring in the story of bull run or something else. If you are stocked in your computer, you wouldn't have the opportunity to travel and meet a girl to listen your head set. Maybe another line of story would have been better.

Its strange though, I was always obsessed with these free money making offers, from Kucoin, binance and others but unfortunately I am never once a winner before, it feels almost impossible to become the winner of the prizes so I don't bother with them anymore..
Is this related to what Husires said above about winners being predetermined by the company running the Christmas events. I wanted to disagree with him to a larger extent that reputable projects will not even think to play such an unethical game. But on a second thought I understood it is a centralized system and ought not to be trusted.
In any centralized system, many unimaginable shits happen behind the scene.
These projects that do these taskful giver aways, do they state the process of selecting the winners. I mean the transparency of the system, is it assured?

You can consider it as loss since this casino has worst reputation here due to multiple unresolved cases like your but still they are updating their thread since scam is not moderated on the forum.

You can refer to their trust feedback when you click the trust of their official account. Sorry for your loss! You should consider doing background check next time before you deposit your money on casino.
Wait please...
Is 1xbit still updating their thread in this forum? I haven't seen any profile relating to 1xbit in the forum after they ended their campaign. Silly me, I have thought that since they stopped promoting here, it means that their domain is no longer active.

I am even surprised that people still fall victim to 1xbit. The people that fall this victim are newbies. I am curious, did they actually fall victim in the forum or they were scammed outside the forum and they started searching how to recover their money and then gets redirected here?

Thanks @dwyane38 for the positive mindset. Some persons don't want to be criticised and whenever there is a criticism towards them they will see it as a mockery. It is criticism that boosts performance because it helps an individual or a team to conduct self appraisal. If betfury team are relax, on seeing that some persons are tracking their road map, they will not relax anymore and that is the only way for a casino to produce quality consistently. So, whenever there is such a criticism or non positive review of a casino, it will be fine if both the casino owners and ordinary gamblers not to see it as a mockery but as a constructive criticism.

It’s different on Betfury thread since the team already abandoned the communication here so most of the criticism is also a mockery at the same time due to no answer from the team to address all the criticism.

Betfury ANN thread is already a place to mock rather than to provide constructive criticism because there’s no since criticism being address here and people already tired on giving suggestions.
I now understand the status of things here. When betfury launched their campaign in this forum, I tried playing with them for sometime but later returned to the casino I play in. My question is that, why did they decide to abandon their Ann thread here while the casino is still running?
  • Is it because they have stopped promoting here?
  • Could it be that they changed promotional manager, and the new management does not believe in the bitcointalk community?
If anyone has a clue why they abandoned the thread, may we know. I am sorry if this has been discussed before.
515  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin in your country. on: December 14, 2023, 04:52:35 PM
    • So, in my country cryptocurrency is not banned but its transaction with banks is banned.

    What's the point of not banning bitcoin when bitcoin can't be used illegally in the country, crypto traders are target of the government through law enforcement officers, bank are been directed to closed down any account noticed to be interacting with cryptocurency through P2P transaction. The whole government is anti-bitcoin as frequently there are laws that just shows the government are clueless on what to do concerning bitcoin in the country. They would had just gone ahead to ban Bitcoin than confusing us because if you become a well known crypto investors or traders, you can become a target to law enforcement officers as they target you to extort money from you by tagging you a criminal and we know the justice system in the country isn't very effective.
    The summary of everything is that implementation in my country is terrible. The government might give an order, for instance to seize all phones that wallet apps are found inside. If the law enforcement agents like police or the defunct SARS meets such a situation, they rather require a huge amount of money and let the person go. If the person refuses to give, they might shoot the person and allege that the person resisted.
    It is because of inadequate implementation that makes the government most times reluctant to act in some matters.

    In 2024, many countries will have some positive news about bitcoin. I am anticipating a massive adoption with likeliness that Bitcoin ETF approval and bull run will coincidentally happen.[/list]

    Well done Charles-Tim and Poker player for tagging Op. Atleast the red flag on Op's profile will make it more obvious that he is a scammer or he is intending to scam. 40% profit monthly is likely a scam, let alone 40% daily. It is Bitcoin that can conveniently give you 40% return monthly. Besides, it is just a newbie account posting.

    Instead of mocking at them due to situation happened on their token I guess its more better to look at the current condition happened on their casino since if you always look after with their token I guess you will just get stressed out with it since there's always nothing happen with it. More better to look at the current promotion they are doing since for me its good to go after with it first and lets see next year if there's huge development will happen that can possibly help their token to get a huge lift or exposure to people trading or investing some good altcoins in the market.

    Nobody is mocking them. I think any criticism from the community should be analyzed and perceived by the developers of any project in a positive way rather than in a negative way because only the community can tell where a project has weaknesses and what needs to be paid attention to. There is nothing wrong with this because the project will eventually be better.
    In the case of Betfury(in my opinion), they have some stagnation in terms of project development and complete detachment from the community, at least on this forum. By the way, what kind of huge development do you expect from them next year if they haven't even half done the 2023 roadmap? If you look at their roadmap, you will notice that there are only partially completed plans for Q2, and there are still no plans for Q3 and Q4 at all.

    This happens to be the most interesting question and xLays has answered it that the companies hire a campaign manager whose duty among others is to ensure that everyone is wearing signature throughout the campaign period.

    How do these companies know you pasted their html in your signature and that they should pay you?
    Some of the company hires a manager who checks whether their signature campaign participants are actually using it.

    I thought you will go deeper by asking how the project owners actually know that the signature campaign is helping to give their project a good exposure. I am convinced that the signature campaign works for the projects and that is why they keep using it as a means of promotion. But what I don't know is how mere wearing signatures to make posts help the brand outside the forum.

    Newcastle has had a lot of injuries this season, yet they got a victory against Chelsea and are still fighting for the next round of the champions league. I think the Newcastle is a good side, they don’t have the biggest of names but they are having the results. Hopefully they can increase their squad depth in the January. Money has come into Newcastle and the club has since changed for the better. I like how Eddie Howe is signing players. They are spending money wisely, only buying players they need in certain key areas, they are not in a rush to sign big names. Chelsea spent millions on young lads but nothing has improved in the club. I will like to see Newcastle win Milan tonight.
    I wonder how you analyzed this in a very shallow way. That is not a good way to analyze a match of this nature. In your analysis you failed to report the current situation of Newcastle which is why they lost consecutively in the English premier leagues, first flto Everton and later to Totenham with high goal margin. You should have considered that those consecutive losses in the English premier League will orchestrate their poor performance on the English premier League.

    It's a shame that two English teams are exited from the group stage. I remember when top 4 used to be all England clubs.

    I don't know why it appeared to me that you are looking for reasons to justify sea piracy. There's no reason whatsoever to justify crime which is a great menace to the society. If we actually want to put your supposed reason for piracy into consideration, that means all the arm robbers, kidnappers, ritualist, etc will have what seems like genuine reasons to commit crime. There are many ways to resolve problems and not to inflict pain on your fellow citizens think you are doing so to the government.

    Say no to sea piracy and condemn it always because travelling by sea only is a big risk, adding more troubles will create a big havoc to the sea users.
