Lessen also the downloading of non sense apps. If you don't need the app then don't download it. What typically happens is that whenever they see an interesting app and it says they can earn from it, they'll download it without thinking and research.
scammers and cyber criminals are reluctant to target apps that do not get traffic and many downloads(that doesn't mean they don't), there is more risk in the most popular apps and websites, sites they know alot of people use and many new people try to dowmload everyday. Just like the situation with zoom few weeks ago, it became a target because of the number of people using the app increased.(the more valuable an app or website is, scammers try to impersonate it more)
5002  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Top exchange listed bounties is getting sucks on: April 27, 2020, 07:09:40 AM
Delay distribution is a very normal thing in this market. I have seen hundreds of bounty have delayed distribution in 2019 so I'm not too surprised.
I have also seen more than hundred bounty projects that do not pay, and investors receive no ROI, they just make an exit scam and close their bounty group; I think many bounty hunters will prefer delayed payments to no payment at all.

If OP is new to altcoin bounties, then he should get used to all this, you will be lucky to get a bounty that will succeed, it doesn't even matter if they delay distribution or not, majority of the coins will be worthless or the project itself a scam.
5003  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Free Storage for Coronavirus Research made by Storj on: April 27, 2020, 06:40:51 AM
Corona virus pandemic is a terrible experience, one I do not wish the world to ever experience again, but it has in one way or the other brought the world together, covid 19 now is the "enemy" and every country/organization is supporting one another to defeat it for good. Storj has contributed in their own way, any help to those that make researches on this pandemic is helping the course to end it, this free storage will make what they do easier, and make their research faster.

I have also helped out in my local community in my own little way, donating to a few families around that are struggling this period, we can only end this pandemic if we unite and encourage one another and also support our doctors and medical practitioners risking their lives to being others back to health.

Good enough to be the first and best in the first season?
Hell no, there's no chance Newcastle will win the premier league in the first season of the "billionaire takeover"(that's if the takeover happens) and besides the players on that "fantasy" team do not have what it takes to win the EPL imo.

Look at Manchester City, even after skeikh took over, it wasn't an instant success, they spent some seasons buying the wrong players for huge amounts. Newcastle will be content with 5th to 7th position on the table in the first season, if they get this rich owners.

I think once the fundraising campaign is run by just one person(mostly newbies)with no escrow, then it is a scam...you cannot run a fundraising campaign on the forum all on your own with your personal bitcoin address; you need to convince people that the funds they are raising for the poor is actually for them, and to do that, you must be a trusted(established)user and another trusted user will escrow the funds, before you send funds to any fundraising campaign you're not sure of, verify through questions, you can start a thread to get opinions from others, just to be sure.

If you want to be of help to people scourged by this pandemic, you can always help that neighbor next door or donate food items to your local grocery store to distribute it to the poor.

Meh, Giroud has been finished as a top performer for a few years now. You could be right, making him sign a new deal on possibly higher wages gives him a couple of months pay rise before he might be sold so Chelsea get a fee then & it’s a win for both parties.
Chelsea should have sold Olivier Giroud in January, I think around that time a few clubs were interested in signing the French man(and he wasn't getting playing time). Extending his contract now is the only way to ensure that Chelsea will get some money from him when they eventually sell him, because I'm sure Giroud doesn't have any chance in Chelsea anymore, Abraham is preferred to him, and he is 33 years of age, Chelsea will be interested in a younger striker for sure.

Do you see him taking the job?
No i don't see Mauricio pochettino taking the job at Newcastle, I also don't want him to. I don't know if any top European team that probably wants a manager, but I want poch in a big team, in a champions league team and a team that competes for titles every season, he will be paid well in Newcastle, but he won't achieve much.
...I think he should be stopped because It's not good for the Football like Mancity and Psg,...
Nothing can be done if he wants to buy Newcastle. Money is now very important in football, just look at how much players cost in the market, only the big and rich teams can buy the best players, to compete and match up as a team you need money. Newcastle will be much better if the billionaire takes over.

...But for me it doesn't matter because if you really want to know whether it is a right person to talk to, you should visit his  her profile...
I will not hurriedly conclude a user is trustworthy if I do not visit the users trust page, even if it shows when the user makes a post on some boards where it shows up. Before the trade takes place you'll still need to check why the user was given either a positive or a negative feedback, and if it's legitimate or not, the reference links and if the feedbacks violated or is in accordance with correct use of the trust system, some trusted members even get retaliatory feedbacks, so the feedbacks only showing in some section doesn't really matter, and one should always visit the users profile to see the trust score and make their decision.
5009  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto on older systems (DOS, BASIC, etc...) on: April 23, 2020, 09:59:05 PM
The newer technologies imo is even easier to access and more convenient to use, even for people living in third world countries than this older models. I believe it's fallacious to think that outdated systems would be more convenient for people. For example it costs nothing to be connected on the bitcoin blockchain network, you only need a smartphone, data and a bitcoin wallet.
5010  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BEWARE OF HUNTER'S SYNDROME.... on: April 23, 2020, 09:29:51 PM
All that a HUNTER want is to make his or her lifetime MONEY from a single project through any fair and foul means.
What foul means do hunters use to get a "lifetime money", is it enrolling a lot of accounts in one signature bounty; that's against the forums signature campaign rules and if it's discovered, the whole farm of accounts will get tagged. I don't expect you to encourage people to make money through foul means, AFAIK, it's now the projects playing foul play, they do not pay bounty hunters and they steal investors money.
I know a time will come we will have to follow up in person's to company's office  for our reward to curb this behavior.
You'll likely never meet any fellow bounty hunter in person, and if you do, just know that 95% of those projects pose with a fake team, so you'll be either walking into a wrong office, or no office at all.

The only people who want the season to be cancelled are fans of clubs who are having bad seasons.
Lol, and also fans that do not want Liverpool to win the premier league, I'll be accusing Manchester United/City fans of this Grin. There are rumors that German Bundesliga could restart next month(May)and will be played behind closed doors, who knows maybe the premier league can also conclude and decide on a date/time frame. June may not be a bad idea and probably by that time we could have some reprieve from "attacks" from the virus. I'm sure many of us miss football so much, that we wouldn't bother much if it were behind closed doors, as it will.
5012  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Covid19 Awareness Site I Currently Develop on: April 23, 2020, 11:34:43 AM
So here's what I think of, I've included my personal wallet address but I don't really want the future donations (if there will be), to transfer to my personal accounts. I would like to ask and seek suggestions if you could provide a legit bitcoin, ethereum or gcash fundraising campaign for me to replace the addresses I've putted to my page.
There is an ongoing covid-19 fundraising campaign going on in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5240168.msg54213861#msg54213861. I don't know how exactly you want to run your website, but you can put the wallet addresses in that thread up on your site, the users running as well as escrowing that fundraising campaign(Irfan_pak10 and minerjones) are trusted bitcoin community members, it's much easier for users to donate funds to that campaign as they are sure the money will be getting to those affected by this pandemic outbreak.(I don't know how willing people will be sending funds directly to your personal address, with no escrow or track record of positive trust).
5013  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 23, 2020, 09:34:36 AM
I heard there will be around 300 people present in the stadiums (players, staff, ballboys, security, TV people etc.)
300 people is a good number, it's really going to be risky having more people than that, it's not what anyone imagined four months ago, but now I'll feel better if the numbers in the stadium could even be lesser than 300, so there is no risk or a spark of an outbreak due to the games which may pause the league again, and for a long time.

But wouldn't the German league be leaving the other leagues in Europe behind, like if the manage to restart and finish this season, when the EPL, LA liga, Seria A and others are still waiting for better conditions to restart, it's going to be very strange, they being so far ahead of others.
5014  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Try providing suggestions with summary on: April 22, 2020, 12:57:06 PM
<...> There's no need giving a summary to a topic you know nothing about, preferable just ignore such topic and move on to the next discussion on the board.
I understand your difference(if I can call it that), but let me expound exactly what other users have been saying in this thread(i stand to be corrected).

If it's for instance, a reply to a post, maybe a user seeking help, information, news, something about the forums history etc ; it can be understandable to surf for suitable information for such users and simply posting the links, or another thread in the forum(asking them to read it for more understanding), or extracting a quote or an excerpt of a thread were maybe theymos clarified other users on that issue. If it's in situations like this, maybe further explanations may be unnecessary and beating a dead horse. But I think if a user is to start a thread based on a link that they've come across, it's necessary for them to read and understand what the topic in the link or article is all about, it's criminal to do either "A" or "B" of what Ddmr Ddmr posted above in the name of not fully understanding the article or the news link.

Starting a thread is like beginning a discussion, one users should readily be available to partake in, just posting a link, or copying the article verbatim in a new thread is foul play, because definitely such "thread starters" wouldn't come back to the thread again.
5015  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: April 21, 2020, 01:55:47 PM
There were several rumors on German media the past weeks, that David Alaba might move to Real Madrid, but it's looks like those rumors were false. Nevertheless that doesn't mean that Alaba is staying at FC Bayern. The contract talks are very tough, as insiders say. In addition to that FC Barcelona seems to be interested in signing him too.
Barcelona cannot spend much on a left back at the moment, they have Jordi Alba and he's still doing great for the club, sure, they will want Alaba, but can they pay what Bayern will request to sign him. After this pandemic, spending money will be difficult for clubs to do, so they will be focusing more on essential positions to fill up; AFAIK Barcelona can do with an average back up for Jordi Alba, instead of spending much for Alaba.
5016  Other / Politics & Society / Re: A Good Salary vs A Career in the sector you love... on: April 20, 2020, 05:51:25 PM
When you say a job that pays a good salary, for me to decide which of the options will be suitable for me is to rate the difference in the two salaries, only then would I be able to decide that which I'll choose.

For example if I'm offered a job in sector I don't have much interest in and they are to pay me a thousand dollars monthly or in a sector I love, to earn four hundred dollars, it's only sensible for me to go for the former, as the difference in salary is quite so much for me to forfeit my passion for that time. But if the difference in salary between the two jobs isn't too much, maybe about a hundred dollars difference, I'll choose the sector I love.

I know it's better to work or do a job you love, but salary is as important as that, you make a living from what you earn(salary).
5017  Other / Politics & Society / Re: China’s been conducting secret Nuclear tests according to USA on: April 20, 2020, 04:51:39 PM
Donald Trump seems to focus all the frustrations of the impact of the virus in America on China, I know China themselves are not being straight with the world and with how secretive they have become in the past few months, they may be hiding something from the world. But Donald Trump looks to be focusing more on what China does than in efforts to combat the virus in the United States of America.

Trump doesn't want to take the blame for handling the "virus like an ordinary flu that was meant to just go away" he rather is taking much of that anger and laxity out on China making too many claims and assumptions on what happened, what they are doing and planning to do. All this blames is helping neither of the countries, Trumps and Americas concern now should be how to stop the spread of Covid-19 in USA, not a war of blames that could start a real war.

If we have vaccine then its possible otherwise its going to take some long time as many governments already announces they will not take any risk until we have vaccine about this Corona.
We all know it's not possible for a vaccine to be out by June or July, maybe even this year. So what the league is trying to do is figure out which option will be best, one way or the league needs to be finished, I think around the time they are speculating, things may be much better than it is now, with lesser risks and fewer cases discovered daily, that will give them the opportunity to slowly restart the league, with an empty stadium and a lot of precautionary measures in place.
Found this article: Newcastle takeover: 'This is a chance to become a seriously big club again'

The author says that The Magpies should be top 6 contenders...Does anyone agree?
Top six could be possible, but maybe not even straight away. Money is an important part of football and if Newcastle can get the money in, it'll be good for them, but they would still not be able to attract the best players, they would get players better than their current squad now but not top class players.
5019  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Today i opened acc on Bittrex.com what i should do next? on: April 19, 2020, 09:58:48 PM
Hey, i read a lot books about btc and crypto world and i want to start it by myself.
I am totally beginner.
I know how it works but i dont know how to use it.
How to start? , can you be clearer, bitcoin can be used for the following and probably even more: day trading, hodling, investing, speculating, medium of exchange, store of value, buying and selling. You can of course harness all areas of the network, but as a beginner which aspect of bitcoin do you want to "start" with?

The first step in using it will be to get yourself your own bitcoin wallet, there are many types out there, research on it and choose the one that's most secure, once you have your wallet, you can then buy bitcoin from an exchange or through peer to peer transaction(always use an escrow). With bitcoin in your wallet, we then go back to the earlier question, what do you want to use it for? I have listed it's functions for you already in the first paragraph.

When you talk about hazard+varane for mbappe that is too much, one of them plus a little less star could happen, like for example if you do hazard+ramos that is better, ramos is definitely the backbone of the team for many but I find him disturbing so that would work out,...
Did you say Ramos, I cannot even imagine Real Madrid without Sergio Ramos in defense, he has a controversial personality, but imo, Madrid cannot do without him. And also I know mbappe is highly rated and so many clubs in Europe want to sign him, but can Madrid give up Hazard and another top player for him, Hazard is also a brilliant player, and for me should not even be included in any swap deal, he was bought for a high price from Chelsea you know, and injuries slowed him down in his first season, he should be given more time.
I know Kane would probably stay at Spurs and he is happy there,
You cannot be certain on Kane staying at spurs, maybe for one final season though, to see how the club progresses, he is one of the best strikers in the world, he needs to win/compete for titles, he has also expressed that desire himself.
