It is their free tx accelerator and has limited slots.

They already set their rules for us to use that free accelerator and they can change it if Ordinals continue to abuse it more. They certainly can do it with their own settings as it is their home and they don't open it for all.

You can wait for other accelerator tool like mempool.space. When mempool.space will launch it officially, I don't know.

Yes, I agree that Al-Hilal is currently the best team to date, but in my opinion Al-Nassr is now starting to add points and the point difference is decreasing and this is great progress for Al-Nassr, but the point difference, even though it's only 7, can still be achieved. It is said that there is a large difference which is certainly not easy for Al-Nassr to beat Al-Hilal's points and of course the only way for Al-Nassr to be able to beat Al-Hilal's points is to see Al-Hilal lose and Al-Nassr have to consistently win. Yes, in my opinion, ittihad's performance decreased because Fabinho received a red card which of course was utilized well by the Al-nassr players.
Al Nassr just won their postponed and rescheduled match, they only maintain the gap of 7 points with Al Hilal. With excellent performances from two teams and their dominance in Saudi Professional League, it seems that Al Nassr will have to wait for a second meeting directly with Al Hilal to find chance of reducing the gap to 4 points.

If they succeed, 4 points will be a difference that can give them hope of flippening against Al Hilal. If they fail in the second direct match, they will have to say goodbye to Saudi Professional League title in this season. 10 points in difference is very big with what Al Hilal have shown in the league.

Some of us that are investing  and trading bitcoin we just only have idea about the wallet which has a seedphrase for security, and which contains addresses that can be copied. We are so comfortable using wallets, and not going further to make research if the wallet is good for keeping your valuable coins.

Non custodial wallet is a good wallet for storing bitcoin,  but it can look technical for some people. it is important to get to understand the features of the wallet.
I don't think using a non custodial wallet (no CoinJoin) is complicated and difficult in practice for many people. They only learn how to back up their wallet, seed phrase and it is easy enough to practice smoothly.

How to back up a seed phrase

Quote
Also, exchange wallet some people don't even know about it, they only trade with it because peopple say something good about it, and no personal finding to know more about it.
Most of people use exchanges and exchange accounts, addresses from their exchange accounts for deposit, withdrawal and leave their coins on exchanges without fear of loss.

They believe exchanges are good at security and exchanges won't be hacked or won't scam exit.

They don't own private keys or mnemonic seed of their addresses from exchange account.

In the first half I thought Aston Villa could beat Manchester United until the end of the match at Old Trafford, because in the first half Manchester United trailed 0-2.
And I saw that in the first half Manchester United didn't play well, but in the second half Manchester United played very well and were also able to turn things around to change the score to 3-2 after Garnacho scored two goals. Rasmus Hojlund then completed Manchester United's comeback with a goal in the 82nd minute.
In my opinion, apart from communication, the problem that occurs at Manchester United is the unstable consistency of its performance. And when in several matches they improved, they declined again.
Manchester United had a poor first half and they shown no signal that they can even find one point from Aston Villa. The second half is simply excellent performance from their players and three points are very deserved for them.

This win is not enough to help them entering top four because they still have 5 points less than Tottenham Hotspur and already played one more match than Spurs. The winning is important for them to maintain at least 5 points gap less than Spurs and also can help them to avoid more serious crisis in their club. Coming weeks will be so tough for all clubs in Premier League with their tight fixtures and if Manchester United can go through this tough time well, they can wait for opportunities given by Tottenham to reduce this gap.

My prediction is that Jose Mourinho will try to defend against Juventus because he doesn't want to lose points in this match, especially since Juventus will play a home match where they must win so they don't fall behind Inter Milan. Statistically, Juventus is much more favored to win this match because in the previous few matches Juventus were in quite strong condition and the players will be much more motivated to win this match.

However AS Roma cannot be considered weak because they are chasing the top five positions in the standings. A draw was enough for Jose Mourinho because this was a crucial match which was much more difficult, but for Juventus a draw was quite detrimental for them because it would make the distance from Inter Milan even further.
Mourinho has his favorite tactics is defensive and counter attacking. With what he gets in Roma and with the stronger strength of Juventus together with importance of this match, he will surely let his players playing with this tactic in the match.

He will prioritize for defense and aim at one point first and he will use similar substitutions in the second half, like in last 20 to 30 minutes of the second half, for some creative attacking players to find a winning goal for Roma if the match is still equal at that time.

Juventus has support of history and they are stronger than Roma so between two teams, Juventus will more proactively attacking in the match and want to get three points more than Roma. With Juventus, if they end this match with only one point, it can be considered as their failure because Inter Milan can expand point difference against Juventus after this match day. It's certainly not their wanted result before holidays.

I am also sure that with ever-increasing crypto regulations worldwide (wait and see what happens when the Blackrock ETF is actually approved), casinos will no longer be able to avoid large-scale KYC. Some casinos such as Roobet, for example, no longer allow use without KYC.

Even if a casino decides against KYC for its customers, exchanges will have to take an even closer look in future at where their customers' BTC comes from. It could well be that BTCs from a casino without KYC will simply no longer be accepted for a deposit.
Most casinos have their licenses and they will have to follow stricter regulations like KYC requirements from governments. They have no choices if they don't want to close their casinos and customers have no choice if they don't want to leave those casinos and use new ones.

New casinos are risky because they can be run by a weak and even scam team. There is not enough time to know about reputation of a new casino and gamblers will have difficulty to find non-KYC casinos to use.

A team behind a casino that is closed because of KYC will not reveal their identity if they launch a new casino that is non KYC. It's hard to know who are behind non KYC casinos because if team members are known, that casino will be forced to KYC on users.

It does not stop with BRC20 tokens but Inscriptions started to invade to altcoin blockchains. It is very trendy now but this trend is even worse than past trends because those inscriptions are useless.

I don't know how highs those BRC20 tokens and Inscription tokens will get in 2023 to 2025 but after that, in 2026 and 2027 bear market, I am really sure that many of those tokens will go to the ground.

Like memecoins in 2020 and 2021, only Shiba Inu is still considered as a strong survival and is ready for a new bull run.

Of course, and with all that, always check your coin addresses in detail, especially when dealing with large value transactions.
Checking coin addresses is important but with large value transactions, I will be more careful.

I will split that value to different transactions that are smaller and rather than making one transaction with a value of $10,000, assume this value is large. I will split it to like 3 transactions and make one by one. I will make a first transaction with a value like $3,000 and wait for a confirmation that receiver or receiving address actually gets it. It means my device is good to make other two transactions.

It will cost me more transaction fee but compare it to losing all $10,000, it is worth to do.

Merry Xmas you all I came across a news today that pick my interest, it was about author Hayes view on Bitcoin ETFs approval which I found as a breath of fresh air of someone thinking about the negative impact ETF might have on Bitcoin. IMO I think that Can only happen in the worse case scenario.
He missed a fact, big fact, that Ethereum Spot ETF applications have no chance to be approved if there is no approval for Bitcoin Spot ETF application.

Ethereum Spot ETF applications, in other words, rely on SEC. decisions on Bitcoin Spot ETF applications, so it's untrue to say Ethereum can beat Bitcoin.

This narrative occurs many times, in 2017, 2021 and you see Ethereum is always a second biggest cryptocurrency, it did not take over the first position of Bitcoin. It will not succeed to do it in future too.

Social media works on the principle that every controversial news is a trend. For example, you find that a doctor decided to buy Bitcoin and made profits without even learning a single line of programming, How can a farmer delve into trading with single click or by asking artificial intelligence services, How can a student not need to flip burgers in order to pays university fees.
Social media usually amplify things and news. If it is a bad news, it will be amplified worse on social media to result in fear and panic. If it is a good news, it will be amplified but in an opposite way, then cause FOMO.

535  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Newbies how to use the 2FA security system in the account? on: December 25, 2023, 06:36:39 AM
I think that having a bitcoin address staked in the proper place in the forum (and obviously, keeping its seed/private key really safe) is the correct move. All the rest, including this 2FA, is just some nice additions.
If staking a Bitcoin address and a Bitcoin signed message is reminded in a notification for all new registered members in Bitcoin Talk, it will be useful for many new users.

I think it is more useful if it is not only an one-time notification after registration but also a pinned message for all users.

It is useful if 2FA, staking a Bitcoin address, a signed message is written in welcome message.

thank for the detailed explanation. I will go to take a look at the RBF feature
To use RBF feature, your transaction must be RBF opt-in.

Did you broadcast your transaction initially with RBF opt-in? If wallet you use has an opt-in RBF, your transaction will have it with default setting.

If you are unsure, you can copy and paste your transaction id to https://blockchair.com/bitcoin and click on Additional information and see at a row for RBF Enabled

If your transaction is RBF opt-in, it will show as Yes.

Luciano Spalletti was an important actor in Napoli's success last season, he managed to turn Napoli into a club that was very difficult to beat and in the end he managed to become the best in Serie A after winning the Scudetto. After Spalletti left Napoli's performance gradually declined, his replacement as coach was unable to maintain Napoli's performance as they achieved success last season.
He is an important piece for Napoli success but he is not the only piece for that success and there are other staffs in Napoli and many contributions from their players. It's unfair to only name Kravatskhelia and Osimhen because other players made great contributions for their Scudetto past season. These attacking players themselves have worse performances in this season and they are part of reasons for Napoli's worse performances in this season. Not only their new coach Mazzari is responsible for this.

Quote
Now Napoli is in seventh place in the standings, this position is not ideal for a team that won the Scudetto last season. If his performance continues like this, his suffering will continue in the next match. Finally, Roma managed to humiliate Napoli 2-0 and force them to drop to seventh place. It took a miracle for Napoli to be able to return to competition in the top four.
They are at a bad position but chance is big enough for them because differences from top four to their temporary position are not too big. The bigger problem comes from Napoli, will they be able to improve their performances in coming months.

The defeat over AS Roma at Olimpico stadium is bad but it is not the end of this season for Napoli.
539  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 24, 2023, 11:16:20 AM
AS Roma victory cannot be predicted because after all, before the match started the fact that Napoli was also still quite favored to win based on the odds. That means, AS Roma and Napoli both have a chance to win in this match, because after all, AS Roma also got their first goal after Napoli played with only 10 players. Also, about AS Roma second goal also came after Napoli got a red card for the second time.
The match like this can change very quickly and some turning points can happen. Bove can make this match more easily for Roma but two of his shots failed to be goals for Roma. Napoli did not create too many dangerous chances in the match but the match generally was very balancing before the red cards for Politano and Osimhen. After those red cards, Roma was boosted with Mourinho's substitution decisions. Pellegrini scored a winning goal for them and with not too good defense system in this season, Roma only know they get three points when Lukaku scored a second goal.

Quote
So, with a goal that happened after Napoli got a red card then yes, it proves that Napoli has a chance to make the match end with a draw score. But yes, unfortunately Napoli failed to maintain their performance because they got a red card and obviously, by only playing with 10 and 9 players, it is natural that AS Roma won because if Napoli continued to play with 11 players of course AS Roma would also remain difficult to beat Napoli.
Napoli actually can get one point from the match but their players failed to control themselves and gave Roma great chances to win it. They have to go back to their home and train their players seriously about emotional and psychological control in important matches.
540  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 23, 2023, 10:37:05 AM
Barcelona must find a solution to increase the stability of its financial balance to avoid sanctions from UEFA. One of them is having a friendly match to help the club finances before it is due, Xavi admits that they are helping management by going on a friendly tour to get some money. The toughest sanctions await Barcelona if management does not act quickly, Xavi squad is threatened with being banned from appearing in the UCL for several seasons.
Barcelona got serious financial problems and they let Lionel Messi as well as some star players left their club recent years. They did not learn from their precious lessons by overpaying, betting too much and continue to buy some new star players with hope that those bets will help their club gaining good results, titles, go far in Champions League and get good income for their club finance.

If their results are bad, they will get bigger problems and will face with bankruptcy. They are on a verge of collapse and pressure to succeed in La Liga and Champions League is very huge.

I agree with you. Barcelona's problem is not only the front line. Their midfield and defense have performed brilliantly in previous seasons. But both the midfield and defense have been weak this season. What Barcelona need most now is to strengthen the defense. If the defense is strong, Barcelona's overall situation will change. Barcelona have talented players in the front line. But due to the weakness of the midfielders, Barcelona is not getting good performance from the front line players. Xavi still needs a lot of money to strengthen the team. But due to the financial condition of the club, Xavi is not able to strengthen this team.
They have problems with Lewandowski but it began with their strategy to rely on an old striker like him two seasons ago. It is predicted consequence if their dependence on Lewandowski is too big. They already started to give opportunities for more young players and gained some success with those youth players but traditionally Barcelona are not good with their academy to grow world class strikers.

They have to look at transfer market to find a good striker to replace Lewandowski. Meanwhile they will have to adjust their tactics and reduce dependence on the Polish striker.

Furthermore their problems in midfield especially defensive areas are not too small. Their defense system becomes more vulnerable in this season and they are paying cost for their weak defense.
