5541  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can ETHW still survive? on: November 22, 2022, 07:07:04 AM

If it won't die, it will survive. But like what asriloni said, it yet has no demand. You could have bought ETC instead since it's just the same. The confidence so far in crypto has declined because of the contagion.

Confidence belongs to the investors who had invested and experienced the long bear market and come back buying more before the bull run starts again. ETH pow has not gone through this process yet.

It may as well die but I think that this coin is the new ETH,if you remember back when ETH started in 2016 it was like 3 dollars kinda like the price of ETHW is now and soon it skyrocketed since the first all time high.I am actively mining this coin now that the difficulty is super low at less than 300 T as you can make nice amounts of this coin daily and hope the best for the future.No one knows the future but if it happens that this ETHW to follow the same footprints of the old ETH,everything will be great for the people who bought or mined this coin.

England is winning with a tennis result and honestly I did not expect such a weak Iran.England as a team has always had great players during history,the same is now only in here I see more matured players that want truly to win something and a good campaign starts by taking very seriously no matter who the opponent is and crushing them,that is what England has done in this first game of the tournament.They sure will be top of the group in the group where they are and they will probably go much further in this world cup.

That list will always change. The companies can easily remove and apply them. I'll not make a measure of whether bitcoin is accepted or not with that list, especially since bitcoin is still tucked in as an alternative payment. And AFAIK, there hasn't been a company that has taken a challenge to accept bitcoins without accepting fiat (to pay for their goods/services).

I agree that list will change but now more than ever no one thinks Bitcoin will come to an end.Many countries are considering to make mining legal in them,a list of countries who have just express this desire and not putting it into legislation is enough of a reason for me why Bitcoin will never come to an end because it is desire right now but most likely it can be translated to law in the not so distant future.

Companies the more they are that accept Bitcoin the better but what makes a difference is when it is adopted at a wide scale like nations with El Salvador leading the way.

League Cup: Estrela Amadora 2-3 SL Benfica
Although the result seems to be a very balanced game, the reality is that Benfica had several opportunities to score many goals. But, especially in the second half, Estrela da Amadora's goalkeeper was very good and defended several shots. In turn, Estrela da Amadora, had the ability to take advantage of the two opportunities he had to score a goal.

Not the tennis result I was expecting but as you said if they had scored a lot of the opportunities they have created we may had a truly tennis result.This result shows that Benfica just wanted to get rid of Estrela and move on to the next stage of the Portugal cup.I think it is one of the rare leagues where the cup is also evaluated as a great thing beside the league itself,if we see Europe in Germany,Spain and some other leagues the cup is not that important but in Portugal the fact that the strong teams keep winning it is a determining factor.Only in England the cup not all of them as they have several but the FA cup is really valued just like in Portugal.

This image shows the drivers who have taken pole positions so far. Even though Verstappen is already the champion even he is behind Leclerc about pole position statistics. Leclerc has 9 poles while Verstappen has 7 now. This proves how strong Ferrari have been in qualifying sessions so far despite their having weaknesses and making big mistakes in races. On this week Ferrari managed to get past Mercedes. Leclerc is starting right behind Perez which is really going to be interesting.

Leclecr is also the most talented in the grid even over Max as single lap performance, he did so many miracles in these years.

He need to improve in races but he has less expirience over Max, he will have time if he will have a competitive car.

That sums it up pretty well about Leclerc,I also like him a lot as a driver but he loses focus during the long run or at least he is not as good as he is in a single lap time.The last pole of him in Singapore from him confirms to me what you just said,however he has been in F1 for about 4 years and next it will be 5 or maybe even more I don't remember well and that is enough time for someone to improve himself.

The only thing he has missed is a competitive car throughout the whole season as he had one in the first 7-8 races of this season but from then and on could not have such car again because of the supremacy of Redbull.

With all respect to Ecuador, I think that real World Cup starts today. Things what we saw yesterday wasn't World Cup level football.
England vs Iran, I think it's question not about England will win or no, but how many goals they will score. USA - Wales, it's a bit strange that USA is a bit favoured by bookmakers, I think a bit different. Though, don't reall know what to expect from USA.
And Senegal - Netherlands. It's sad that Mane won't play in World Cup, otherwise it would be very interesting game. Now I'm confident about Nethlerlands win.

I also think that England will win but unfortunately it is not going to be that easy as how many goals they score,this game may as well end as 2-0 but most probably there will be more goals,in the world cup appearances that Iran has made they have left me thinking that they are not as bad as we all think about them.

For the USA I agree with the bookmakers,they have made a lot of investments in their MLS,they have bought star players which have help the national players perform better so I expect a win from them tonight,when I compare the two national soccer leagues to me the MLS is stronger than Wales,if Wales had not Bale that would not be up to question if the USA would win.

That is the most hated point of Money Train bonus rounds, it just dies after 3 small multipliers without opening new room for more multipliers. Buying the highest bonus means one of the persistent multi features stays during full bonus round but the disgusting part is it can go dead for 3 or 5 rounds. I usually prefer to spin slots instead of bonus buys, MT3 is volatile so I stop chasing bonus after 300 spins usually.

In high-extreme volatility slot especially for Money Train family, I prefer to use buy bonus than normal spins. Reason is simple, because of my own experience. Getting FS in these games is rare or harder compared to medium-high volatility slot, most of the time we need to play hundreds of spins (we can lost more than the buy bonus cost) for a single FS but once we get the FS, the result is so bad. Obviously it is about preferences, but I still think that buy bonus is better than playing with normal spins for high-extreme volatility slots.

I tend to agree but only when you have at least 200-500 dollars to spend and rather than playing buying the bonus because I have tried Money Train 3 after all the hype when it first came out and played more than 2500 spins without getting the bonus round,so I doubt the buy bonus is higher than 250x in almost every game that offers this buy bonus feature although I don't recall it correctly know how much it is.My argument is that you need to test the buy bonus at least 20-25 times and if just only one of these hits you like let's say x40000 or more you will be in a great profit considering the initial amount you played,so you are correct in such game is better to directly try your luck with the buy bonus feature.

They are lucky that I am not a fan of giving feedback to anyone especially to a business. I do only when it's necessary but when anyone clears my doubt I am always open to remove it completely which I already indicated to my reference post. Removing the tag will not be very hard, do something that is satisfying, they will even find me vouching for them. But being unprofessional. acting shady; is not going to work. Player risks their money to win and when they win you make sure everything not to pay them is not a good business model at all. I am even confident that claiming OPs win rate is 97% was a lie too. They said it so that it looks better for them.

I strongly agree with you.The OP lost 70k which of course this was not the casino direct fault but an indirect one as they are taking a lot of time to get logs which the provider in most other cases have given to the casino in a much shorter time span than what is being asked here.As a gambler I am very very sad to see such happenings and unfortunately I have to say again,stick with casinos that pay million dollars of payouts and they have the balance to do so rather than joining new ones,who have not proved themselves as some casino who pays huge payouts without so much drama.
5549  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Why is difficulty still very high on: November 21, 2022, 10:12:48 AM
If you look at the graphs, then the hash rate has fallen for many coins. Industrial mining on video cards cannot be profitable now due to the many additional costs, but small miners who have no expenses other than paying for electricity continue their favorite pastime.

I don't think that difficulty is high for example for ETHW which is the coin by some unknown miners who decided to keep mining the Ethereum when it moved to PoS.It is just less than 300 T which can make you nice amount of this coin daily,almost half of these coin in two days when you have a near 400 Mhsh rig.For now may not be profitable but who knows at which levels this end in the future,so mining it for the longer term is easily doable for people who mine at home like me and many others.
5550  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Posting about new miner on: November 21, 2022, 09:50:39 AM
Hello,

I heard a few stories about some of the open-source miners main devs just straight up getting banned from here from posting their miner, talking here about a dev that improved GhostRider for cpuminer  (cpuminer-gr) and posted it here and is used mostly by GR algo coins, but others that just post modified versions without or changes fees to their own (just search for cpuminer-gr forks here), or just use the GPL miners in the closed-source (rplant or example) are allowed and kept here.

My question is if I want to announce/release my miner how should I announce it so mods do not ban me for nothing?

Due to info about open-source miner devs getting banned and closed-source being kept here, I lean heavily towards pushing it as closed source

I want to post here but if legit devs are being banned without any explanation or info about it, it is kinda discouraging xD

I don't know any dev that improved the Ghostrider algorithm because I am mining Raptoreum and the only dev that I know is the real one,who is also providing the binaries through the official Github through the Raptoreum official website.

Any smart dev that provides an "improved" version of this algorithm is most probably providing people malware and once it is known that it is malware getting him banned is the best thing to do in the forum so we can save some unsuspecting newbies by downloading this infected software.
5551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is The Gambling Industry Part Of The Domino Effect That Happens In The Market on: November 21, 2022, 08:54:16 AM
There's a discussion here about a call to make it mandatory for gambling sites to show proof of money they are holding in reserves because of what happened on FTX.

Running a casino during crypto crash

 - Do you think The Gambling Industry Is Part Of The Domino Effect That Happens In The Market?
 - Will the industry lose the trust of gamblers if one or two casinos scammed their players by closing down and running with what
    money they have that belongs to the gamblers?
  - As a gambler do you use gambling sites to store your coins like what traders are doing on exchanges?
  - What would gamblers think if a casino does not agree to show proof of money from new and old casinos


If some of the truly reputable casinos will do that sure this can shaken the basis for a lot of crypto gamblers but the good news is that no such casino needs to do such a thing as their winnings keep getting bigger and bigger and thus there is no need to scam people.

As a gambler I never leave money on any casino except the amount that I have predetermined to play there and except this balance I don't leave anything else.So far no such things have happened despite many big exchanges falling down to bring an even worse crypto winter but I don't think reputable casinos will ever bring us such scenarios as the exchanges have.

I am happy to see that finally someone with a lot of tickets,namely 4 million and a bit more got the first prize of the weekly lottery for this round.For the other places we still continue with the tradition with people of less than 1000 tickets to win many of those places.

I of course missed my ID for quite some time here,namely more than 104 weeks or more than 2 years as I have tickets more than 2000 for all these rounds,this shows that is extremely difficult for any person to be in the top 10 out of 50 million users that we are here,nevertheless a new week starts and it is a good one because tomorrow we have 5x reward points for people who want to gamble.

Does someone know how to reach our World Cup prediction pool from Superbru when logged in?
Like a list of all competitions (past and active) where I'm joined.
I haven't figured out yet how to reach our pool World Cup prediction pool when logged in and entering the link from hilariousandco's PM all the time is a bit annoying.

I think that when you are logged in through the browser in a desktop and not in a mobile app you just click "Dashboard" and then in the left you click "Tournaments" and there is where you will find all the tournaments that you are part of and all the pools that you have joined.

For the mobile app when you open it in the top you have all the tournaments you are taking part of,of course here they are with abbreviations like EPL for English Premier League and so on,it is easy.

Thank you for the fast payment mate,I received it as well and it was a great season as I said before because for us it didn't end when Verstappen was already Champion many races before the end of the Championship.We had something to watch the races for with emotions,of course emotions private to us only,the participants of the pool.This pool was also better than the other pools because no big difference can be created here as it is extremely difficult to predict the complete podium exactly which is the best to do in a round so it was better even in this way.What missed is a money sponsorship which I hope next season we will get that as well so we can have more participants and more money to distribute.

Stake has a couple of promotions for the world cup, but I am the only win that is a little bit disappointed in what they currently offer as promotions? It is not bad but nothing special also and not really anything that stands out or that is super interesting...

If you are looking for something that you can participate for free like world cup promotions by other casinos, yes Stake is behind those other casinos for the world cup promotion.
Perhaps world cup is not one of the priority event for Stake to offer great promotion like what they used to offer for other events.
I'm assuming that they will be focusing on Christmas and New Year, so lets hope they will offer something bigger than other casinos at the end of the year to replace your disappointment for the world cup promotion.
Last Christmas and New Year I haven't played at stake.com so I don't know what they gave to their players, because at that time I only focused on one casino, maybe that will be bigger from previous considering stake.com is getting bigger from time to time

Stake has already great promotions for the slot players,there are huge prizes which keep increasing there and there is something for every slot player I believe,from beat the multiplier,get the best score in chosen slots (meaning the one who bets the more overall wins) try the new games released during the week in order to get prizes,some other events held by providers like Pragmatic being the most active in this field.However I have not seen any good promotion for the World Cup except again from Pragmatic Play which has held a beautiful one doing slot tournaments through the Stake website.Also they have added some events for the World Cup now from what I am seeing which is a nice addition going with the tradition of such casino.

For last Christmas they had something like 900.000 dollars which is one of the biggest ones held.

this will be a game in which benfica will have difficulties to win the game, benfica will not be playing with all their strength so it is natural that the coach of benfica also chooses to give rest to the rest of the main team players and play with team B, since team B is probably not strong so I would say that the game will end in a draw or with few goals, betting on the winner is very risky, in the last 5 games Estrela Amadora scored in all games and I don't know how the B team of benfica plays, but my guess would be BTTS

But this game will also be a good opportunity for the second line players, to try to show themselves and play a good game, with the aim of having the opportunity to be a first line choice for the Benfica coach.

Estrela da Amadora, on the other hand, will want to do everything to have a good result, as this will allow them to be better positioned to move on to the next stage of the competition, taking into account that only the first place in the group passes.

I think Benfica will win this game with a tennis result even if they play with the players from the bench which is the most likely occurrence for this game.While I agree that a team from a lower league will try to play at their 110% against the best team of the Portugal Primeira Liga this will surely not be enough to hold back Benfica.There will not be any surprise for this game,Benfica is going to win easily,I also think the odd of Benfica should be in the range of 1.30 to 1.50 because of Estrela being in the top three teams in the Liga 2 in Portugal but most probably as I said Benfica is going to win,there is quite some difference between the first and second leagues in any country and this is the case also in Portugal.

congrats to all winners

tried to double down on Hamilton, and he let me down, so slided a bit
LTU mastered this round

Leclerc finished second, Perez third, which comfirs general placement this season, Ferrari started great, but Red Bull found strength to overcome them, and Mercedes had few good races, too little for a season

expecting a bigger pool next season

Thank you.It is the first time I win in any pool that I have taken place,in soccer pools I have always gone to 6th place when last price was 5th and 12th place when last prize was 10th so I have been always near but never once managed to get there.I am a fan of F1 more than soccer and despite starting this pool with just 5 points after the first round where everybody else got a minimum of 9 points and this shows that if you are consistent enough just like was soon after as I was for 70-80% of the season always second and only once won the yellow cap you can recover up to the prize positions,yeah I expect a better pool for the next season.

I had this first game as 1-2 as I thought Qatar since the host country should have been at least able to score a goal but I am happy that I did not go for a draw which I almost was sure for a draw with goals because of all the news that were circulating before the start of this World Cup.

I am happy that Ecuador won,this clearly puts a lot of pressure in Netherlands to win their game against Senegal or if they don't they risk to surprise us in a really bad way while quite a lot of people believe they will go far in this World Cup.
5559  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Distortion Pattern on: November 20, 2022, 05:23:38 PM
Slots are designed to constantly "reward" you with small wins.... but if you look at the larger picture, you will notice that the graph are showing that the casino are gradually sucking all your funds in the long run.

The small wins are insignificant, when you compare it to the constant losses.... so it is very much like the theory of the slow boiled frog. (if you put a frog in a pot filled with pleasantly tepid water and gradually heat it, the frog will remain in the water until it boils to death.)

That is why people are saying..... If you continue playing, the house always wins.  Roll Eyes



Gamblers already know that but the problem is that the slot providers make in between this slow sucking process of the casino what is called the bonus round which of course most of the times do not give you that big wins but fewer times these bonus rounds gives the players huge win with up x5000-x100000 of that bet and it is exactly this that makes gamblers come back despite knowing that in the long run the casino with the house edge wins always but the gamblers are after these huge wins and that is what keeps gamblers come back with that usual pattern that they keep depositing more by chasing these wins.

Everyone likes to go to a casino here and then. But unfortunately, there are those who cannot visit a casino simply for pure leisure. Gambling can turn from a hobby or a leisure activity into a serious addiction problem. Many compare the rush of gambling to the euphory of cocaine, as it can also become an addition.

Online gambling brought casinos closer than ever before, and the problem of addiction in the world of gambling is a serious social illness. There are a few signs to look for when starting to gamble online to avoid problems of addiction. So, do you know if you have a problem with gambling? Here's an interesting article about this subject.

I was once but after a serious loss in one of my sessions I was so mad that I didn't know what to do and just laid down and stayed like that for several hours maybe even 1 or 2 days just thinking what I have done and since then I just play a predetermined bankroll every week,if I win good for me and I keep playing and if I lose this bankroll I called it a day and quit.

Gambling addiction unfortunately for many people is devastating and they do not have that much of a will and self control to take themselves out of this so for these persons they need to seek professional help after talking to their family and friends first.
