Privacy and security are 2 different thing. Accepting privacy reduce your privacy, not your security. I don't know browser you use, but some browsers have option to reject 3rd party cookies and addons/extension to automatically delete cookies after you leave the website (obviously the addons/extension have whitelist/blacklist).
Yes, I know privacy and security are two different things, but I am conscious of both to certain level, I want privacy for my security sake also, because a single breach of online privacy may reduce someone's security already. Privacy conscious people have ways to be more safe than people that do not care about privacy.

...
Yes, I have been hearing that using bitcoin core with Tor is the best for privacy, but it takes almost or over 400 gigabyte to run full node, I do not know how prune node will be, but I can not use it due to certain reasons, I do not have the resources needs to run full node. I am still comfortable with electrum, I understand electrum still run central servers but I am still okay with it. What I am totally concerned against are third-party sites that are making people to accept cookies, but I have seen a way which may be effective to avoid it, I disabled the cookies from the broswer settings, hopefully it will work.
5122  Other / Beginners & Help / Cookies in broswers on: June 03, 2021, 04:25:56 AM
I manage to have electrum wallet on my mobile phone which I do use to make transaction frequently, I also have some others apps that I need to carefully protect on my mobile device. Anytime I broswe before, I can be able to reject the cookies the site I am accessing popped up for me to either accept or reject, I did always reject them because I know it can be used to track some information on my browser.

Recently I noticed the option to reject this cookies are no more there, out of 10 sites I visit, I may not even see the option again on the whole ten sites, I still do see it but I hardly see it, so the probability of me seeing the rejection option is very slim. There are some time I will have to make use of the site with the cookies pop up like that without clicking on accept, but it makes users experience not good, and also there are times I will not be able to read anything from the site without accepting the cookies. This makes me to ask this questions.

Is there a way to still reject the cookies that sites owners are somehow making mandatory
So is it safe to accept this cookies and yet my phone is safe? (I always think anything that track information on my broswer makes me not to have privacy)
Can my wallet and other apps and information be accessed by hackers on my device by accepting the cookies (I do not trust any site about this cookie thing) and I do visit the legit sites, not he fake ones.
Or should I just go to my broswer information to always clear the cookies? It will be effective but it can be tiring

If this can happen on mobile phones, it can also happen on computers to people using their computers to broswer always. It will be good to have effective solution to totally reject cookies.

There is nothing like risk-free in matches, even if the certainty of wining is 99.99%, the 0.1% still means the winner can be anyone. If my the chance of winning can be very high, but that does not mean the person that have such high probability of wining can not lose. Even in previous match cases, there has been many cases of someone that have high probability of wining ended up losing. 100% guarantee is uncertain.
5124  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Understanding the importance of monitoring weekly paid posts on: June 03, 2021, 03:27:47 AM
Overall, the topic is bad because if you focus on monitoring your weekly posts, you will not focus on what you write.
I do not care if some people go against this, but I believe it will help some good posters, especially some newbies that have just raked up and joined signature campaigns. I did not create this thread for shit posters.

Thanks for the fourth suggestion, I have included it.

In a way, yes. I was thinking, if you are always counting your weekly posts, and you either make more posts or cease from posting based on your count, that could mean you are only doing something in compliance of a certain rule or for the sake of meeting a certain target. There's a world of difference between making a post because you have something important to say and making a post because you need to say something.
People are misunderstanding this topic, it is not about shit posters, it is not also about monitoring your post all the time, that is why I colored the number 3 which is the main reason I created this topic, that for paying campaigns that have certain number of posts we should make to be eligible for payment, we should try to check out posting history a day before the end of the weekly posting. That is why I previously commented that 20 posts are needed in my current campaign, but I do make 30 or more but yet I do track my weekly posting a day before campaign manager will count it. Or is it not making any sense by giving myself rest of mind and also which I believe can help others.
5125  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Understanding the importance of monitoring weekly paid posts on: June 02, 2021, 07:20:32 PM
you can try using TryNinja's bitcointalk bot notification. you can check the thread or ask TryNinja whether he added a feature for notification for deleted topics since I remember him mentioning about he could add a notification for deleted topics.

edit: here, I found his thread [TELEGRAM] Yet Another BitcoinTalk Notification BOT (merits, mentions, topics,+). also, looking at the feature there is a "trashed topic notification" I guess a notification for a deleted topic has been added to his bot.
Yes, TryNinja's bitcointalk bot notification can help to know when the parent post or topic that you posted under is nuked, but if the topic is moved, the bot will not notify, the topic can be moved to off-topic or a board that will not count for weekly payment. But about the parent post deletion, the bot will accurately notify people which you can also check about. This is a good suggestion but yet it is very good and useful to track you posts a day to the end of weekly post.
5126  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you bet on climbing challenges on: June 02, 2021, 07:10:44 PM
So far i havent encountered any bookies that do offer this line but i do made up some research about possible climbing betting.

You can read up here: https://www.gamingzion.com/gambling/gambling-news/olympic-sport-climbing-betting-in-2021/
Its understandable that this sport isnt really well known yet but actually it isnt really bad though.
That is just it, so far I have not encountered it before, it is not common. At least it should have been on some gambling sites. Immediately I read the OP, I have to check one of the most recognized gambling site in the world that offers different types of sport, but I did not see it there. The last I saw there was horse racing, this makes me believe that it is very possible no gambling site is offering climbing sport betting for now, but I may be wrong. If people like it, see it as fun, it can become common one day and be seen on sport gambling sites.
5127  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Signature campaign post requirement on: June 02, 2021, 04:22:58 PM
I like your suggestion but it is campaign managers like CryptopreneurBrainboss, Hhampuz and Yahoo62278 that can give perfect answer to your question. They may not give any reason because that is their own rules campaign participants must follow. I noticed they too are acheiving what they want as spammers and low quality posters will be removed from there campaigns, some poor posters are even blacklisted. Your suggestion will help participates to have more comfort and convenience while posting, but not that the rules also set by other campaign managers is not making them achieving their aims as poor posters are filtered out.
5128  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Understanding how important to monitor your weekly paid posts on: June 02, 2021, 09:22:35 AM
<...>
Thanks for this post. The main reason I created this topic is for users to make sure they monitor their post counts because some of the posts made can be moved to non-eligible boards for post count, this will help them to make appropriate corrections before the week ends. We do not know when such can happen, even as I always make more than 10 to 20 more than the post required, I still do track my post history a day to the end of posting week as it is helping, giving me rest of mind.

9. Stop posting just to fill the signature quota, especially when it comes to a useless topic that is likely to end up as offtopic.
That is correct, but I included it which is the 6th, that posters should not spam, spamming fit into this category.
5129  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Understanding how important to monitor your weekly paid posts on: June 02, 2021, 07:46:05 AM
8. Stop making only marginal number of posts.
Example: A campaign needs minimum x number of posts and I see a lot of users are making only x number of posts in the given week. This gives me few negative impressions:

- The users is a signature spammer, not a genuine regular poster, pretending to be in conversations, do not care about the community, cheating with the campaign manager and the project team.
That is true, I noticed this too that some members do make just exact numbers of minimum post required for weekly posts, this is a sign that such people are not passionate about the campaign they are. I will include that right now.
5130  Other / Beginners & Help / Checking your posting history a day before weekly posting ends on: June 02, 2021, 07:31:08 AM
I do see some people that have quality weekly posts but were not paid by the campaign managers because they did not meet up the task given them to accomplish, this may not be the fault of the posters until the posters noticed his ignorance caused him to lose the weekly payment. I remembered there was as time I joined Ownr wallet signature campaign, participants needed to make 20 posts weekly, I posted 22. I was not paid because 4 of my posts were moved to off-topic and I lost the weekly payment. I noticed my fellow full member were not also paid, the first user had 21 posts but only 18 were eligible for payment while the second user had 27 posts but only 19 were eligible for payment. This was a mistake from full members which were newbies about signature campaigns. I noticed it do also happen to old members but not usual.

You can check the spread sheet here, week 13.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13r1Opy4g5-FaPUnYPCciavRo0WsoNJkHamIPmKAB4RY/htmlview#

It is good to keep to the rules of a campaign, there are may other ways someone will be serious but yet will not receive the weekly wage because of ignorance. That is why I am using this post to make other people aware of how they can have quality post, post more than the minimum numbers required for weekly payment and yet not paid because some of their posts have been moved to boards that are not eligible for weekly posts that will be counted to receive weekly payment.

What to keep in mind to be able not to miss the weekly payment

1. It is always good to read the rules of a campaign
2. Making sure you post on the board that will count for weekly payment (though that does not limit you to only posting on eligible boards)
3. Check your post history and count the eligible posts a day to the end of one successful week of posting
4. Making more than the minimum post required for weekly payment. If the minimum is 20, you can make 30 or more. Let your posts have good quality.
5. Make sure the topics you post under have high quality, some topics can be deleted which will result to the deletion of the whole thread.
6. Make sure a topic is not having off-topic characteristics before posting there, some topics on eligible boards will later be moved to off-topic
7. You should not spam, plagiarize or have low quality posts

I was very unhappy to have a good posting week but yet I was not paid because my some of my posts were moved to off-topic, try to always monitor your posts, count it like a day before the posting week will end. If some have been moved to non-eligible boards, you will still have one day to make corrections.
5131  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gaming Scams during Pandemic. How to Stay Safe. on: June 02, 2021, 06:47:24 AM
Personally I don't respond to mails I didn't subscribe to because I know a true website would just bumb into your personal mail without you subscribing to it. But most times the content of this scam sites gets too tempting and would require extreme carefulness and dicipline to over look such adverts before been scammed.
The best is to not use your original email to register on many other sites if possible you got no option than to register. I can not get crypto related email messages because I use completely different email for crypto and I have many of the emails. Though phishing is not necessarily only on crypto emails, that is why we need to also be careful of our email account. Nothing is tempting for people that also known a scam phishing emails, they will not even bother to click on it. Like me, I do neglect many email messages while some might be phishing attempts.
5132  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gaming Scams during Pandemic. How to Stay Safe. on: June 01, 2021, 12:06:25 PM
Man, I feel so so safe with OTP through my mobile number or my email.
I don't know If all gambling websites, exchanges, and even crypto wallets are allowing this account security options.
I'm not so techy but I don't trust google authenticator that much.
If were so concerned about our account security better not engaged when someone is asking for your account and financial info. That's the best way to keep yourself away from being scammed. One thing to remember, If it's too good to be true then that's probably a scam.
There should be some online gambling sites that can even support more than one option, it is also more secure and safe to enable more than one type of authenticator, though one can be enough but two or more is safer. Like for example, to enable sim, email and 2fa app authenticator at ones, this will make the account safer. About the Google authenticator, I can not also trust it because it is close source, but like I said before, you can use the open source ones like Aegis and andOTP.
5133  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gaming Scams during Pandemic. How to Stay Safe. on: June 01, 2021, 07:28:22 AM
Did you mean Google Authenticator?
Yeah, I personally always prefer to use GA than other types of 2FA. Moreover, if we are using a phone number for authentication, I will not choose it if there are some other options.
I am not specifying on any 2fa, but some people are not using Google authenticator because it is close source. Also google authenticator is not protected with password or pin which is another reason some people are not using it. There are some better open source authenticators someone can use with gambling sites which are also passward protected, Aegis is a good example, andOTP is another good example. But for exporting conveniences, some people will prefer google authenticator.
5134  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Can unconfirmed transactions be automatically cancelled by RBF on: May 31, 2021, 07:12:39 PM
I was thinking about unconfirmed transaction and RBF today, this came to my mind after reading a post about it on this forum, I just want to be sure of what will happen.

Assuming I sent bitcoin to a friend that is using electrum wallet, the bitcoin transaction was not yet confirmed and it is taken too long, he decided to create CPFP and use it to send the bitcoin to another address on his electrum wallet. But my friend also mistakenly use low fee too, which makes the child transaction also to be stuck.

If I use RBF during this time for the original transaction, that means the unconfirmed CPFP will be invalidated?
Or I will not be able to create RBF because the transaction already has child transaction?
5135  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Welcome bonuses on: May 31, 2021, 10:02:27 AM
Would you read T&C before go ahead and make your first deposit attracted by those welcome bonuses?
I do not like reading terms and conditions because it is always voluminous, I already know many of the terms and conditions though. But if it comes to deposit bonus, I have to read the terms to be eligible for it in a newly registered gambling site because after the bonus is given, there are instructions to be followed in order to benefit from the bonus, there are some that may not even be really beneficial in a way the conditions required will be too strict to achieve wining.

I do not read all the terms and conditions, I mostly focus on how to make use of the deposit bonus and how beneficial it can it. If the conditions are too strict, I will not bother to deposit if the sole reason of using the site is to claim the deposit bonus.
5136  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gaming Scams during Pandemic. How to Stay Safe. on: May 31, 2021, 09:52:11 AM
What I just know is that we should be careful online and do not share our data with just any site, we should know that one shared can be used against us, it can even be through data breach of a very legit and strong online platform, that is why it is good to limit the information we share.

Phone authenticator is safe but not as safe as 2 factor authentication through app, though sim swap attack may not be common, but it can occur. The 2fa app is best to be on another device rather than on the device we use to access the online sites.
5137  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: help on selecting stablecoin for gambling site on: May 31, 2021, 07:03:20 AM
Any crypto-stable coin are good for depositing to your website, but i think people are most familiar with tether since it was the first stable fiat cryptocurrency available. So i think it's better to use USDT. But another usd based coin are good also like BUSD
Some stable coins have low trading volume, this will be a disadvantage. Some stable coins are not stable but their price fluctuates a little especially during bull run or bear market when there are too many demand or supply, some people do not just like high fee ones like the USDT on bitcoin and ethereum blockchain, though these high fee ones can be included but low fee ones like USDT on Tron blockchain are the best.
5138  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto-Casinos and KYC on: May 30, 2021, 08:25:06 AM
I think the key point here is not legality or illegality, but that legality implies taxes and other extortions. I think most of the people who came to the crypto wanted to be away from government regulation and, accordingly, from taxes / licensing, etc. In fact, all legal casinos are deprived of the advantages that crypto gives us.
I do not really understand gambling taxation but I think that both crypto and fiat gambling industry can be taxed, it is just like saying exchanges can not be taxed, crypto casinos will be registered in a country, they will have a license to run as a crypto gambling online platform, if the tax is mandatory, it will be taken. There are some countries that will even tax winners, but I have used crypto and fiat gambling sites like casino before in which no tax were collected from winners from their winnings, only the gambling sites will have to pay their tax, and this is not difficult for government to make it mandatory for any crypto gambling site operating in their country.

Yes exactly, not all big players are used, but many of them are used. What I just know is that it is a preseasonal match when players might not be totally fit the way they ought to have played, but it is also a lively match to watch. I too will go for Chelsea for this one, though Villarreal may come out that day surprisingly and not one know who can win such match but I go for Chelsea.
5140  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto-Casinos and KYC on: May 29, 2021, 07:57:57 PM
Dangerous only if you have submitted it to the wrong casino that can't promise the safety of our identities.
Be it legit or not legit casino or any other gambling company, kyc is extremely dangerous. If the ledger nano company data that was hacked and breached and known to people to the extent it led to phishing attempts and attacks, also to the extent some were calling the phone number of people that bought hardware wallet from the Ledger nano company, telling them they are coming to their home. Hackers can hack the data of people from legit sites, this makes kyc extremely dangerous. When there are many casino and gambling sites generally that will not request for kyc, it is better to use non kyc gambling platforms for safety reasons.
