Dosta toga dobrog sam čuo za ovaj film u smislu da je jedan od najboljih njegovih filmova koje je ikad snimio i da bi trebao nastaviti tako a ne da snima one svoje prijašnje komedije. Stavljen je na listu za gledanje.

Pogledao sam par epizoda novog dokumentarca David Attenborougha, Prehistoric Planet. Ko voli dokumentarce i naročito dinosauruse, preporuka da se pogleda. Ima samo jedna sezona od 5 epizoda koje traju po 40ak minuta. Zanimljiv je i poučan ali nisam pretjerano zadovoljan brzinom i akcijom. Fali mi tu malo krvi i eksplozivnosti. Zvuk je isto tako mogao biti bolji.

Nothing of what I read seems appealing to me so far. It looked more promising in the beginning.

But I did create a support ticket with DFINITY, the company behind the ICP project. I sent them a link to this thread and asked if someone from their team would be interested in joining the conversation, answering a few questions, and maybe making corrections if some of the information is not correct or up-to-date. I am curious if they will reply back.

It looks like taint to me. I don't think it's going to be difficult for them to prove (if they want to) that the deposited Bitcoin came from a gambling platform. The owner of the coins could have changed, but it's still the same "dirty" coins. Dirty in their own understanding of that term. If I can't use them on that exchange, it means they are tainted/tagged/dirty/unwanted/rejects... Call them whatever you want.

Just imagine being told the same thing when you use fiat. You go out to buy something and the shop clerk tells you can't use those bills because they have traces of this and that. Get out of my shop before I call the police.

That's because some community members no longer trust you and believe you might be capable of scamming. It's now up to you and your team to prove that issues like the one above won't happen again, and that you can be trusted with your player's money. Withdrawing support for the flag is a personal choice of every user.

I think it depends on what kind of sports and leagues you bet on. If they recognize similar betting patterns for low-level and amateur football leagues with thousands of $/€/BTC wagered per match, they will find that suspicious and most probably limit you no matter which sportsbook it is. Same thing if you bet on ITF tennis tournaments where it might seem like you have insider information, know the players, or they have reasons to believe the matches are fixed.

Normal gamblers shouldn't have problems on Sportsbet.io.

Yeah, that's probably true. I wouldn't expect it to work in any other way. Each page is unique in its own way and uses different codes and styles. But I remember coming across some type of CSS code extension that allows you to copy/paste element style changes to have them registered for the entire domain. Can't remember what it's called exactly. Font changes should be an elementary thing to do I guess.

I am just playing around with the Inspect element features at times to do some basic changes and page manipulation for the fun of it. I certainly don't know much about it.

You are forgetting that the ASIC miners aren't made up of grass and leaves you can find all over the ground. You would need hundreds of thousands of chips in a world plagued with chip shortage. You are going to need the best-quality silicone, and you need to purchase that from somewhere. And again, you are going to have to get those orders from suppliers and manufacturers who are already working as hard as they can. The raw materials simply aren't there in that quantity. Andreas Antonopoulos has many great videos on this issue.         

After each major event, they take away our rights and freedoms little by little. 9/11, the fight against terrorism, money laundering, COVID-19. Those rights will never be reclaimed again because they were taken away due to "national security" and "the needs of the many".

The created environment will be such (or is such) that if you are fighting for your privacy you are an enemy of the state. They like you more if you obey and listen. Very few will keep trying to preserve their privacy, but the majority will just go with the flow.

I wrote What Do Centralized Exchanges Consider as Taint last month.

I was told by Gemini support personnel that if they find out that you are depositing coins from a casino/sportsbook or you are trying to conceal the origin of your coins, your account will be permanently closed. Binance.US said something similar, although they didn't specifically mention the closing of accounts. "Actions will be taken" is the wording they used.

Unlikely it ever will. Bitcoin is publicly traded and its price depends on the supply and demand effect. Throughout its history, it has often reacted negatively to bad news and positively to good news. This is evident from the price movements after important news regarding regulations is released. Whenever there is talk about Bitcoin being banned, or important players requesting stricter regulations, people start panicking and begin dumping their coins. The price can't go up if more investors want to sell than to buy, especially selling at a loss. Apply the opposite logic in situations when more buying is registered for whatever reason.

Don't forget the market manipulations and whales colluding to get your coin at cheaper rates. We wanted decentralization and unregulated markets and that's the price of it. 

If you don't want to deal with extensions, simply bookmark your BPIP profile page > https://bpip.org/Profile?p=Hispo.

It shows you all the merit information you could need:

• Total number of earned and sent merits, including the posts and users that got merited/merited you.
• Number of earned merits in the last 30, 90, 120, or 150 days.
• On the right side you can see who merits you the most and which users get the most sMerits from you.

I don't know about Brave, but there is a way to permanently save changes done on Chrome with Inspect Element on your computer. It's a browser extension called Permanent Inspect Element.  

I haven't tested it personally, but came across it in a video explaining different things you can do with Inspect Element. I remember that the person said you have to click the save button dozens of times because it doesn't always save the changes with just one or two clicks. Install and use at your own risk of course! It hasn't been updated since 2020 though.

There are no restrictions in place where someone couldn't create an announcement thread or update an existing one informing the altcoins community about the launch of a new project or important changes made to any existing network. There is no reason to introduce new tools. Most Bitcoiners don't care for Ethereum updates and those who do can find anything they need in different ways.

It's interesting how you didn't see the messages in your ANN thread for two days, but you have no problems seeing and replying to posts in this thread just minutes after they are submitted.

The reason for the sudden change could be because of the negative trust ratings next to your name as well as the big warning box that now appears on top of your ANN page. You want to get rid of that as soon as possible.

Anyways, the problem has been solved, and this thread can be locked I think.

@franky1
I appreciate you taking the time to explain all this.

If I understood you properly, Bitcoin isn't being moved around within these canisters. It gets locked up and then cansiters, subnets, and regular users deal only with ICP tokens. Why would this be interesting for the end user? What new possibilities open up with this integration? DeFi, staking, maybe NFTs? And you have to prey that the value of the ICP tokens doesn't crash so you can get your initial BTC deposit back and not just a 1/4 of it.

You explained a different hierarchy. I thought subnets were on top and that each subnet had multiple canisters. The Bitcoin deposited by the users end up in these canisters. But according to you, it's regular users > subnets > canisters.   

Sovryn is a lending and borrowing platform right? Plus there is a staking feature if I am not mistaken. It operates on the RSK sidechain. Electrum works with the base layer + the LN. I guess they could integrate with Sovryn as well, but why is it needed and what do you gain from this partnership/integration? Do you want to connect your Electrum wallet directly to Sovryn to be able to lend/borrow other assets and stake them? 

I can't comment on blockchain, but I have noticed that my VPN doesn't work with blockstream.info at times. First time it happened, I thought it was a problem with the site itself, but when I noticed it a couple of more times, I tried with the VPN turned off and I could visit the site just fine. It's been a while since it last happened though.

I assure you that there is no such thing as pre-moderated messages on Bitcointalk. I saw the OP's posts two days ago and so did other users. You could have seen them as well if you wanted to.

Why is that a problem or reason for suspicion? Theoretically, I can deposit 1 BTC, play one round of dice which takes a few seconds, double my money, and request a withdrawal a few minutes after the coins were deposited into my account. I did nothing that should raise any suspicion besides being satisfied with my winnings and wanting to withdraw them.   

It does seem to rely a lot on trust and the notion that the central body (as you call it) won't or can't abuse their position and simply steal all the coins from a container or the entire subnet that handles Bitcoin transactions. ICP is open-source, I would love to see the thoughts of someone who knows how to read code explain exactly who has access to what? Is there a central body or organization that knows all the private keys and who has the means to recover shares to reconstruct private keys?

I haven't checked if ICP has any kind of presence on the forum, but inviting someone from their development team could be interesting as well. I will see what I can find.

Some questions remain unanswered. For example, they talk about a functional network even if 1/3 of the nodes were to go offline/become malicious. But then the same person says that even if an entire subnet were to be destroyed, that wouldn't cause the loss of funds because master private keys can be reconstructed from shares spared out among nodes in other subnets.   

I am sure their goal is not to make Bitcoin better, but to increase the use of their network by adding popular coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum to it.

No, I don't think so. A confirmed transaction remains a confirmed transaction. They can't revert anything that happened on Bitcoin's blockchain. I think that an example was given in one of the videos to highlight possible dangers of human-controlled containers. So they talked about lending and borrowing use-cases for Bitcoin. A malicious human-controller could perhaps change the smart contract logic so that withdrawals could only be done to a specific BTC address (one that belongs to them). Since they have both human and non-human controlled containers, and they will make the decision which of them will be allowed to work with Bitcoin based on some security standards, the human-controlled group should never have access in the first place. 

That's a positive outcome but also worrying at the same time. What did you know and what didn't you know about your wallet? I am just trying to figure out what information they managed to retrieve for you and how. And if it's data they supposedly shouldn't know or have access to.
