5261  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: High Profit Projects Are Prone To Scam on: December 20, 2022, 10:09:20 AM
With my little experience so far, I have come to realize that most crypto projects that promise Investors excessive returns on their Investment eventually turn out to be scam.

I once participated in a a certain project that was giving Investors about 5 times (5×) bonus during their presale. The team kept postponing the exchange listing date until everybody got tired of them and realized that, it was a scam project. When the complaints on the Telegram group became too much, the project team just abandoned the group, leaving Investors with bot.
1. So as a new trader,  it is always important to do your own research before any Investment with any upcoming crypto project.
2. Invest what you can afford to lose
3. Try to avoid some of these projects with that promise outrageous profits on investment, most of them are not realistic. How can you expect 300,000% annual percentage yield from a new project?





That 300,000% percentage yield pretty much says it all about the project,which is a red flag that this project is most probably a scam.I personally never get involved in projects,I just do my own research regarding the different altcoins and then based on my conclusion I choose where to point my mining rigs.I love mining much more than investing and the only investing I do is in gear,buying new gear to upgrade my rigs so I can make some coins from the ones I believe on,I know now everything is in red but is exactly at such time when profits are made.

From what I see all the groups are somewhat interesting here but of course the group A with Spain and the group where Italy is in which has missed I think two consecutive World Cup appearances need to improve themselves by qualifying here for Germany 2024 and finally to see Italy back where it belongs to the top of soccer.

Maybe Ronaldo will still play this last Euro cup for him but I think that the age does not permit that or better permit it but not at full power because Ronaldo is going to be 39 years old,we have seen other great players giving a last try to such tournaments at this age so why not.

The best advice will always be...  not to chase your losses, but your strategy is more focused on slowing down your own emotions. When players lose a lot of money, the emotions like "anger" kick in... and they want to have the last say or some kind of revenge... and that is the worst place to be in.

I also switch to something "smaller" ... to calm my emotions, when I hit a losing streak. If I can control that situation... I tend to hit something bigger to perk up my mood.  Wink

That is a good strategy.I have learned by playing slot machines that chances are higher when you are playing with the smallest available bet to play longer and thus having more chances to get the bonus round or feature game and maybe to win big.This is not assured when you play with a big bet as a huge balance is needed to play longer at that bet although usually the slot machine in the bonus round or feature game tends to give you much better winnings when you are playing with a big bet but that is a high risk.

Roma team are the team that needs most improvements  among the top teams their recent performance is really poor they didn't win in the last three serie A games and in the friendlies they can't even beat weaker opponents they need some new players in all positions but especially in the defence and midfield.
Roma performance this season is becoming worse, no sign of improvement.  Roma was never like this last season they were among the tough teams in the italian league , but this season Roma is becoming one of the weak teams in the league. Their defence is poor , it needs to be improve .

They are far away from the title fight but they need to improve their performance in order for them to secure a place in Europa League because in Champions League this year for them will be difficult.Napoli is leading the way with Milan and Atalanta following then together with Inter and Juventus fighting also for a place in the Champions League it can be difficult for Roma this year to secure a place in Champions,they need to start taking the games one by one,playing calm and with serenity and I am sure the results will come because they have good players to achieve this.

I think this world cup would be one of the best for the african teams one managed to take the fourth place and senegal managed to get to the knock out stage unfortunatly for them they faced england and the others tunisia, ghana and cameroon showed good performance and they managed to beat some strong teams like brazil and france this means that the african teams had improved hugely in recent years and we might see more of them on the later stages in the next world cups.

The fact that Morocco set a new record by going to the semi finals is a really inspiring step for the African team,and as beautiful as it is a newspaper in Israel more precisely the Jerusalem Post had their front page with the title of the article "We are all Morocco" showing support to the African team and of course Israel hoping one day to be playing in the World Cup and performing well too.

Many African teams will not be afraid and also will not feel inferior to any European,American or South American teams and they will face it like equals,something that they have always suffered in silence,the feeling of being inferior will be removed once and for good now.
5266  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Best algo for RTX 40** series on: December 19, 2022, 09:32:33 PM
According to the latest rumors, RTX 4060 Ti would get AD106-350 GPU with 4352 CUDA cores. This particular SKU would feature 8GB of GDDR6 memory clocked at 18 Gbps. This would be the first known model from RTX 40 series to feature GDDR6 memory instead of GDDR6X. Earlier leaks mentioned that AD106 features 128-bit memory bus, which means this card would have a bandwidth of 288 GB/s.
https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4060-ti-rumored-to-feature-4352-cudas-8gb-memory-and-220w-tdp
https://twitter.com/kopite7kimi/status/1602761028584247298?

This means that this should be the best card to buy for mining as GDDR6 does not heat to much compared to GDDR6X which is well known to heat up early and bring up problems,we had a lot of cases that the hash rate was down in this very section because of the GDDR6X memory.

I only hope that the price is good,and seeing 220w tdp I think that it should perform well at 80 Mhsh at 140 w tuned for Ethash algorithm,if the price is good a rig with 3 of such cards will consume not much but will be mining a good amount of crypto like ETHW which difficulty right now is in the lows.
2 RX5600 video cards consume 160-170 watts and give out 80-85 megahash on the Ethash algorithm. The price of these graphics cards in good condition is now $200 each. If you need ETHW coins, then you can buy a similar hashrate cheaper and mine while the hashrate of the coin is small.

That is also a very good advice which I have not thought about but the problem is these cards are only 6 GB and as far as I know the ETHW dag file size is already at 5.2 GB or near it which means I doubt I can mine for that long with those cards and this is going to be the downside to this,probably they are good options for mining ETC while you wait for the price of ETC to grow.

They can also be good cards to mine my ETHW at that power consumption is better than a RTX 3080 which does just a bit more than that and consume more power,maybe it is the right time to invest in such cards as 5 of those can give you 200 Mhsh at 400 watt in total and 500 watt in total together with the motherboard and with ETHW mining difficulty it can be a gamble worth taking.
5267  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How was your first attempt to play gambling on: December 19, 2022, 09:10:42 PM
We all have a different experience how we started our first bet. Their are people who started bet without having any knowledge concerning it. Their are some people started with a help from a friend to bet and their are some who took their time to learn before they started paying bet.

How was your first start? Did you play blindly or spent some time to learn.?
My first experience of gambling was very bad. I lost all the money that was with me that day. Though it was fun. I played about three different games. And I lost all. When I came out from the casino hall my friends laughed at me. Really I was not happy that day. By then online betting was not found in my locality and also was not popular even at the city side of my State. Everything was done and played offline. And the Money was meant to buy clothes in the market but I lost all.

Then why have you decided to gamble those funds if it was already allocated to buy some clothes, did you got some sense that maybe you would doube or even triple your money afterwards? Grin
Anyway, what happened was already done but the important thing is that you learned from your mistakes especially about the funds, it's best to know that gambling is an expensive form of entertainment and that is why only gamble some spare funds and funds that you can afford to lose. There's no need to frown because I bet you did enjoy that experience.

That kind of experience is not always enjoyable especially when you lose money allocated for other things like clothes and food,this emphasizes your error which is much bigger when you play these funds to entertain yourself and then when the game ends you see that you have lost everything,I bet that this is not an enjoyable experience at all.

The only good thing from such happening is when you learn it the hard way like this,I am pretty sure you would not think again in going and gambling food or clothes or other basic goods money ever again,if you do it means you have become addicted.

Mercedes just needed a driver who can accept being the second driver of the team without making it much problem. I think they have really found that one. Mick Schumacher is like one of the most easy going drivers on the grid now. I haven't seen him having issues with Magnussen so far. When it comes to the competition between Magnussen and Mick, I'm afraid Magnussen has seemed the better side. Mick doesn't seem like a very talented driver to me for now. Haas made a big progress this season by increasing the power of the car a lot but Mick couldn't take advantage of it as much as Magnussen.

Mick would be a decent second driver by taking Hamilton's place and he wouldn't be much trouble for Russell I think. Russell would really like to have a teammate like him as Russell is very competitive and hungry for wins.

We don't know this.We don't know how Mick will behave in a winning car,he has not been in a better car than Haas which has been the best for him,differently Magnussen has been before in better teams than Haas and he of course has much more experience than Mick Schumacher.I think we should wait to see Mick in a Mercedes,in a winning car as I believe even drivers not up to the level of talent of Hamilton and Verstappen have won races with that car and Nico Rosberg even the Championship season of 2016 if I remember it correctly.
5269  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: December 19, 2022, 08:36:30 PM
I don't think many clubs in Premier League will be affected by World Cup. Only 2 I would be extra cautious about are United and Spurs. Spurs lost Richarlison to injury in WC, Perišić played almost all minutes and he will need a rest, Lloris just lost the final and Romero just won the final. They could need some time to get back to top form. United lost Dalot to injury and Martinez & Varane were part of the final so their back line is also probably suspect. However they are having very easy fixtures on restart so probably not a big issue.

I am expecting Alvarez to get even more minutes for City now after he had a great WC.

I also think that we will continue to see the great Premier League that we are used to see always.The players who needs to come back in their form,they need to rest a little,if I were the manager of the teams where these players play would not activate them for the first 2-3 games.

Alvarez did a lot for Argentina through this tournament despite him failing to bring anything substantial to the final,I think mostly because he was doing his part in helping Argentina rather than trying to score goals in the finals.Finally one week from today we have the boxing day games or it is 1 January the boxing day,don't remember but what is important is that we are going to see great football again.
5270  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slow down if you want to recover your losses on: December 19, 2022, 05:37:00 PM
We all know that but the problem is that when you are in the heat and rage of that session you don't logic with a cold head and thus it is almost impossible to stop.People do realize this after they have lost it all,then they stay thinking after that and analyzing cold headed what really happened.This was also my personal experience,one such session when I lost really big,after that I kept thinking a couple of days until I am to the conclusion that I should stop gambling or at least to play a predetermined bankroll.

It is much easier to do than to say though,it is very difficult to try and implement this in real life,otherwise if it was easy we would not have a lot of addicted gamblers.

yes but in the end argentina won this year's world cup even though it's fake news even if france team played with full squad team it wouldn't be possible to win consecutive world cups i was sure this year's world cup was for argentina and they proved it though on penalties, but France almost won at the end of extra time free play in the penalty box unfortunately broken by the argentinian defender, but whatever it is congrats for the win argentina and at least I won the bet there  Wink
Why wouldn't it be possible for France to win a consecutive World Cup? They almost did it, anyway. It was a hard game for Argentina after all, as France almost reverted the score at their favour before the end of extra time. All scenarios were possible for this match and even sportsbooks were uncertain regards the favorite team. It ended that Argentina started playing better, because they put more energy on the beginning of the game, but on the second time it was France which had more energy left to dominate the field. Both coaches managed well the stamina of their players, harvesting good results for their respective teams and keeping the game unpredictable till the last minutes.

Argentina underestimated the rival when they were 2-0 and France had not hit the goal until the 71 minute where Mbappe hit for goal that ended outside.I think France could as well have won it if Argentina would have not recovered after completely losing it when they were equalized in 2 minutes by 2 thunder goals from Mbappe.Luckily for Argentina they were able to recover and to play again well like in the beginning of the game and Messi was able to score again.It was only the referee that gave another penalty to France so they equalized and then we ended in penalties,Argentina yesterday played better and France relied only on Mbappe that is why it didn't work out well in the end.

I took the risk and opened it in a virtual machine running Redhat Linux,so far the only things I see are the 4 pictures which the author claimed to have attached,probably because he does not know how to add links in the forum as I see he is a newbie.

If it has some CMD script which run in Windows I don't know as I don't try these links in a Windows machine but from a Linux perspective the link looks clean.

After this very turbulent year, what are your plans for the coming year?

I had to sell most of my gpus, I managed to sell for a reasonable price, it wasn't at the peak, but it was good.
The price of electricity increased, the ETH POW ended, and the price plummeted.
But I have already witnessed these market changes and I know that things can change quickly, new minable coins can emerge, prices can skyrocket and we have to stay alert to catch the best timing possible.

Here I still have my PSUs, processors, risers and more, ready for a possible comeback.
I'm following the 4080 and look forward to see how much the RTX 4060 Ti will cost. I don't have any RTX 4xxx series yet.

And another important thing I learned in the market: always have a plan, optimistic and pessimistic, so you can take better advantage of the market.
Without a plan you can end up with a bag of worthless coins and/or be left out of a good opportunity.


I am following only two coins ETHW and RTM-Raptoreum a CPU mineable coin,beside working when I have time in some sites and get paid in Litecoin,I am mining those two coins,it is mostly a gamble but in our time now I don't see any better gamble than ETHW for GPU-s and RTM for CPU-s so I am accumulating as much as I can no matter how things end up after sometime.

I believe in the most pessimistic of happenings that RTM will surely hit at least 0.50-1 USD in the next bull run and until then I hope to have about 250.000 of them or a minimum of 100.000 for sure,for ETHW I just mine blindly as there is nothing else left to do but this is my plan in such bad times.
5274  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM..... on: December 19, 2022, 02:11:27 PM

Hamilton should have max 2 more years in F1, and who will take his spot?

The 1st driver will be probably Russell and Mick could actually be a good second driver.

I don't think they will go with 2 strong driver cause the history teach a lesson (Alonso-Hamilton 2008, Rosberg-Hamilton 2016)

I don't think Mike will ever get a regular driver place at Mercedes. Unlike his father, he simply doesn't have the talent for Formula 1, and without the Schumacher name he probably wouldn't even have made it this far. But Mike is still young and can convince me of the opposite, even if I don't believe in it, at Haas he simply made too many mistakes and also failed very often or wrecked the car.

That is something that can happen also because Mick was not happy with the car and pushed to hard which in turn cost him many mistakes and crashes alone and with other drivers,it shows that most probably he wanted to squeeze far more than the car was capable and this is the most likely scenario,maybe he has not his father talent but I will say so only after I have seen him driving a good car,his father won most of his titles with Ferrari and those with Benetton at a time when that car was the best,so I want to see him drive for a good team before judging him.

Most probably yes if he transfers himself to Milan which there are really a lot of voices circulating and pointing to such move.As long as I know Milan already qualified further for the Champions League and as such he should be a federated player of AC Milan and as such player he has all the rights to play in Champions League.I don't know if there are any clauses in his contract at Manchester United which clearly forbid such move after he leave from Manchester like he is doing,not in the best way.

now easy week to realx and then back to EPL and club football, from next Monday

Yes it was a good pool and congratulations to all the winners.

Can't wait for next Monday as the clubs league for me are better in the sense that they keep us entertained during the whole year while the World Cup happens once in 4 years.It was a very good World Cup with Argentina fully deserving to win the cup,they were waiting for it since 1986 and all Buenos Aires plazas were full of people celebrating,you can only find such kind of celebrations in Latin America,we in Europe are somewhat behind in this until now.

5277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's FIFA World Cup 22 Prediction Pool Discussion thread on: December 18, 2022, 11:04:37 PM
Even though Argentina win the World Cup, Mbappe win the hearts of France people. 4 goals in the World Cup Final is a record for Sure. He move his game to the winning part. Out of 7 goals, he made the 4 is more then the 50 percentage of record. My opinion is France full team not ready for the Finals to face all the situation including the Penalty. Actually penalty win is not consider as a win. But the Cup was given to Argentina by the penalty shots. Penalty itself draw means, it will be the best knock. But the Goal keeper win the hearts of Messi and Argentina people for sure. He won the golden arm for that knock.

Penalty win will not be considered a win?That is the first time I hear it and I find it extremely funny,penalties are there just to decide that,who will win when no one of the teams can win in regular time and in extra time,it is a sure way to end a game.Most probably you mean that penalties are just luck and I agree to a certain point,there is not for nothing that they are also called sudden death.

I find a really bad move by Argentinian goalkeeper after getting his prize as the best goalkeeper he put it in his d*ck and was pointing it to the fans,that this saved you and this gave you the World Cup,probably just some euphoria moment which can be forgiven by fans.

It's really weird to see reserve drivers becoming good drivers as well. Back in the day, and still true for some teams, the reserve driver mindset was getting a very young driver who was also allowed to drive somewhere else, like endurance places and such and then put him in for practice stuff and maybe a few races if the driver wasn't available like sick or something.

This year we have Ricciardio for Red Bull reserve, and Mick for Mercedes reserves, those are F1 drivers who already raced and proven themselves, why would they get reserve drivers at that level and not some young one? I understand maybe Mick is young but is he really a future Mercedes driver level? Doubt that.

I think from the two Mick has made a very good choice as we all know Hamilton cannot race for more than 2-3 upcoming seasons at maximum performance,he can race for much more but his performance would be on the downside rather than on the upside and Mick is just waiting for his time to come to show his skills.I see a big future for him at Mercedes and most probably at Mercedes believe in him too otherwise they would have not signed him up.

Ricciardo I think was forced to go there as he had no other options and I see him as a driver which has already gave his best in F1,he is a winner of races and even won with McLaren but unfortunately he could not get a seat for next season so he settled at Redbull once again as reserve driver.
5279  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why every casino got bad habits? on: December 18, 2022, 09:31:09 PM
Answer is Reading Comprehension

Many gambler playing just into those gambling casino without even having time reading with the terms and conditions such as the faqs. As long as they see the bonuses or ever that requires to play, they quickly deposit and play, and after they win a good profit, they make a withdrawal immediately it's pretty suspicious to the casino too if this happen because the account does not even last long for a week to play and win and make an instant withdrawal they might probably tag as abusing the system.
This is why a casino has its own action too against the suspicious gambler, which will then make some of the gamblers jump to a conclusion that casinos have their own bad habits against gamblers. Because if this will not be done by casinos, those gamblers who have the same attitude will abuse the casino system and will continue doing that if they are always tolerated.
I agree with both of you, most especially the first quote, gamblers this days are not ready at all to be patient and neither do they have the time to read terms of service or go through faq, this is why I said initially that good and reputable casinos are not bad and neither to they have any bad attitude towards their users, but the users themselves are the reasons why it seems all casinos are bad.

A good and reputable casino can not wake up on a particular day and decides to block an account or withheld withdrawal without any form of offense, we the gamblers/users are the ones who make it look like every casino out there got bad habit towards its customers.

This is also true.I have been playing in the major casinos from at least 3 years or maybe 4 don't remember that well know and never I had a problem with them,this because I keep reading their ToS before joining and also I am very careful to read all the terms and conditions to their bonuses or challenges that they are offering.I know that KYC is needed if I win over 10.000 dollars but maybe it can be required even for lower amounts depending on the game where I win such money and I have all the documents readily prepared to give to the casino,also I have source of funds available,so in the end most big casinos do not have bad habits at all,in fact the complete opposite they are pretty good to us.
5280  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I won $128,000 and it's been a week waiting for game provider verification on: December 18, 2022, 09:05:33 PM
I wonder if this issue has been completely resolved by the casino in question? We are talking about a large amount here. 128k is an amount that can change the lives of many people and probably in this case too. Of course, a casino would rather not pay that much money right away, but what do you do if you actually have to? Stake.com is a gambling site that has been active for quite a long time, they will also have the money. But really pay out? That is only the question with such high amounts. I hope for the OP that he got his full amount in the end.
There were no updates and his last post is this.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5419863.msg61319692#msg61319692

He had been offered for $5000 while waiting for provider verification or something like that but it do ends up that they had said and admit that they cant really pay up on the entire amount
and been asking their boss and investor.So this simply means? Site cant able to pay up such win which is totally devastating for someone
who had spend up lots of a money on a site and ending up on not getting paid after hitting big.

That is why it is always good to play in only the casinos here in the forum who have an ANN thread,and their ANN thread is filled only with positive feedback,people nice experiences,never a missed payout despite the amount and we have seen here that some casinos have paid even big whales because they have the finance to do so,they are a robust business looking to grow.

It is the complete opposite when you choose to play at a casino not very well known which in the end admits that they will ask their owner if he can pay a gambler the winning amount that he won,verification and this kind of things always come from low to medium level casinos and rarely from the huge ones,it is funny how no casino check the hash when you lose money and they are not that concerned with KYC at that point but as soon as you win all sort of things come your way.
