5601  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: VR online casino games take gambling to the new level 🚀 on: August 17, 2020, 12:20:39 PM
Now this one is new, I never thought casino games will come to the virtual reality. I don't know if this kind of game will become popular since VR games are not yet fully recognized and most of its games are bugged and not that worth it to buy a VR since you find it in the market so expensive. The people who can play it are those who already have one because you cannot just buy EXpensive VR just to play except you are someone who doesn't really care about his expenses for the sake of having fun.

There are two kinds of old people out there, one is educated and the other is not. You can simply just explain it to the first using the basic things about bitcoin which you can find here: https://www.weusecoins.com/en/questions/

For the second kind of old person, you can use simple logic which their mind can digest easily. use an example with the things they always do or find some example which you can make them understand easily.

Sadly these kinds of things come directly at the Google Ads where most people thought was a legit site since it was shown on at the top of the result when they search with the words ads by google. Unlike us, some people may think that the top result was really trusted just like what happened to me years ago. this time is a little bit serious since it might result to the huge loss of the victims if they didn't inform with this new scammer's trick. Thankfully we have people like you who always fast to share this prevention to avoid any losses from our companion who doesn't know this stuff.
5605  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think the house can counter your strategy? on: August 16, 2020, 01:28:20 PM
When I was in my young age, I managed to invent some way to advance in an online game without paying any penny. in other words, I have some technique which can ruin the entire game economy. It was not a bug but rather a game flaw which I am the only one who understands base on my personal experience. But the moment I spill the beans, mocking everyone who was struggling with the game and told them I can do such things without even sweating, the game master saw that and inspects my account and found the flaws. That was so fast and the GM fixed the flaws in the next update. so in my experience, whatever strategies you are talking about, you should not tell anybody if you don't want it to be countered by the house or the GM.
5606  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: South Korea and Australia, they are bitcoin pro on: August 16, 2020, 12:56:57 PM
I have always seen South Korea is really advancing with their BTC implementation and approvals. But have less information on Australia's progress with Bitcoin. Since this is the only news I have read so far. Honestly, this is one of the good news that you don't see every day in Bitcoin news. I wonder what Japan and Singapore think about this idea. Anyway, let's just wait for another country to make their decision regarding implementation of Bitcoin in their country, I think this will not be the last time we see such news.
5607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: US Presidential Election 2020 on: August 16, 2020, 12:23:57 PM
Definitely seems a reasonable dynamic in play on whether a 3rd party candidate could seriously derail this election in terms of predictability, can that alter 1% or more then a few % of votes away from Biden enough to alter the overall outcome.    Nobody takes Kanye seriously and a ton of people never took Trump seriously, he was the punch line on a joke at a white house evening famously.    So in elections it seems blind spots matter, Ross Perot if anyone remembers him was another famous 3rd party candidate.   A few people think this election is not predictable, probably worth considering the idea with any serious bet.    Biden to win remains the upset outcome not default.

https://youtu.be/QRRwBqwKWz4?t=4030

Man, why are you sure that votes will be ejected from Biden and not from Trump? You never can be sure how 3rd party candidate will affect on another two main candidates, so it is better just to ignore their influence. You think that Kanye will take away votes from Biden, but because he is enough conspiracy theorist, some not to clever people (which would vote for Trump in any another situation) will vote for him. And Trump votes will be decreased.

The twist behind Kanye's running for the President of the United States, is to gather some votes from his past alliance and without a doubt the was Biden. But maybe another twist will happen in the upcoming election is that what you want to tell? When some of the supporters of Donald Trump will turn away from him? Well, as for me this sudden changed of a plan by Kanye West was all part of the strategies by the current administration just to diversify some votes from both of them (Biden and West). I also have a bad feelings that Trump will stay as president after the election.
5608  Other / Politics & Society / Re: A vaccine too early could be dangerous. on: August 14, 2020, 03:12:00 PM

Yeah, we both know he isn't going to do that though. I remember watching the presidential debates and when asked about what he would do to stop China from occupying Filipino islands in the Spratlys, he said he would take a speedboat out there, plant a Philippines flag in the middle of the island, and let the Chinese do with him what they will. Meanwhile, he's rolled over to China and given up the fight for Filipino sovereignty of the Spratlys near completely.

It's not a criticism of him in that regard so much as pointing out that in many ways he is just another politician who makes promises that won't be kept.

Remember what happened with the Dengue fever vaccine in the Philippines as well, its a cautionary tale about why vaccines shouldn't be rushed out for use without fully understanding their potential side effects:

https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2019/05/03/719037789/botched-vaccine-launch-has-deadly-repercussions


I don't really think that I'm gonna get that vaccine anyway because I live in some part of the country where people don't even know what Computer is, literally. If something bad would happen to the others after getting vaccinated, I would be watching them from the distance can't do anything about it. That's right, most of the children who got vaccinated of the Dengue fever last time got some complicated desease which leads to some of them to death. Now this is another thing though the president now is different from the last time, there will be a possibility that the history will be repeated.
5609  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Andreas Antonopoulos: HEX offered me 10 BTC to show that it is not a scam on: August 14, 2020, 02:49:11 PM
That was a damn way to bribe a known personality that doesn't really care how much BTC you gonna pay him. 10 BTC seems not worth it for that man, that will be another sign for the next scam project to bribe him. They need to increase their offers which might not really work though Grin Grin

Now there will be no rightful minded people will gonna invest to that HEX, I don't really know what kind of service they offer. now that they showed their true colors I doubt someone would even bother to look more information about their project.
5610  Other / Politics & Society / Re: A vaccine too early could be dangerous. on: August 13, 2020, 02:01:14 PM
I don't know about this but our president seems to don't really care about that vaccine from Russia which might be the first vaccine will be shipped to our country. Our president told us to remove the doubt in our heart he will take the risk to be vaccinated first. because he really doesn't have some trust issues with Russia. He said on the media conference that Russia will give the Vaccine for us for free. While everyone has different views with the Russian vaccines, Our President will be the first Pilipino to try the vaccine.

5611  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How you can earn money from bitcointalk.org? on: August 13, 2020, 01:00:47 PM
To be honest my answer is both because I couldn't say that I'm only here for knowledge right? In fact I found this forum because of me searching on internet where I could earn money and upon browsing here in the forum I eventually learn and widen my knowledge with regards on crypto and earn at the same time. Basically, I'm earning through signature campaign and bounty campaign cause you don't need to put a money on it so you maybe could try it.

We are almost the same but the difference is I just came here to learn but I see some opportunities where I can get some extra money while engaging in some of the conversations here. I grab the opportunity and after a while I found myself ranked to Hero Member. One way to get hired by the signature campaign managers is to have a decent amount of earned merits, that's why most of the newbies are working hard to get one. but in my case, it was not really necessary because I ranked while sharing some useful knowledge and at the same time posting helpful replies.
5612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You have to prove that you can take the loss on: August 13, 2020, 12:24:36 PM
I wonder how they will implement their limitations when there are tons of casinos around especially online casinos. If they will set limit in depositing, one can try other casino and so on and so on. It will only be possible if they will block websites which I doubt can happen at all. All we need to do is really be responsible in our losses and just accept it or be rehabilitated in a mean time.

That's why the implementation is set in a whole country whenever someone wants to play, they are need to have this question answered. They need to prove that whatever happened they won't gonna do shitty things like these people did: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7902859/How-500-people-kill-year-getting-hooked-gambling.html
The rate is dramatically high, they need to have something prepared to counter this kind of thing. This should be discussed because to kill yourself just by losing in gambling is a kinda dumb way to die. Why not just move on? and start a new life in the other place?
5613  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should we promote acceptance of "zero-conf transactions"? on: August 13, 2020, 11:58:39 AM
One of the solution to reducing transaction fee is the lightning network, but many people are not using it for now because it is still under development, if fully developed, it can be used for cheap payments like paying for coffee etc. These should even be the main purpose of lightning network (to make payment of small amount of bitcoin)

Another is the use of segwit (bech32) addresses, with the use of such address and sending to such address, transactions fee is reduced in relation to the transaction weight. But this may not be satisfying enough.

There could also be other development in the future that can be used to reduce the transaction fee.

Right now, Lightning Network is the only way to promotes BTC payments with lower transaction fees. Unless the exchanges we used is partnered with the stores we always wanted to go. Like we what we have with our local exchanges. Like for example shopee is somehow partnered with coins.ph where when buy things there you don't have to worry about the extra charges the rate is always 1:1 when shopping there. It's the same with some online game stores. If the other stores are likethis, then promoting it to others would have been easy for us.
5614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Chess on Sports/eSports betting on: August 12, 2020, 04:04:57 PM
Its probably because modern games are much exciting because you get to see cool avatars, weapon, items. And its very flashy with the animations and effects. It really takes away your mind from reality. Perhaps, more people are switching to online simulation games than old games, i guess chess also needs to somehow improve like pawn's having form of knights which engage more people to play it virtually.

Yeah they need to do that like for example the snake games on old Nokia phones. they revive it with much different updates and cool stuffs they also changed the name but most of the atmosphere was there and the rules still the same never get hit to anything or you die.




I think what you mean by improving the chess game into modern era of gaming is already happened base on this image but I haven't heard of this one till now. It has been there but has a lot of rooms to improve.

5615  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do hackers steal huge amounts of bitcoins? on: August 12, 2020, 03:10:27 PM
The longer they stuck the BTC there, the closest it may lead to tracking them because there are lots of experts developing some ways to track those scammers right now. As you can see we don't have technologies before like what we have today. they just making it worse for them. I think that's just some retribution for what they have done to the real owners of those BTCs. There are lots of hacking incident has happened before and those hackers who haven't move their coins till now might become vulnerable to be tracked if they going to move it right now. everyone will notice because someone has successfully create a program that signals people if a certain amount of BTC moved from a hacker address. Like I said we don't have this kind of technology back then but we have them know.

Normal lang ito tol, kailangan sagutin nila yung mga katanungan ng Coins which is hindi naman ganon kahirap. pero usually yung mga ganitong sitwasyon ay para lang sa mga malalaking halaga ng depostis or withdrawal. yung mga katulad namin na hindi ganon kalaki yung tinetrade sa coins ay walang naging problema so far basta kailangan lang ibigay yung hinihingi nila para sa KYC. Before kasi tayo mag deposit ng malaking halaga sa coins, dapat handa na tayo sa mga dapat mangyari or yung mga katanungan nila dapat meron na tayong mga kasagutan para pag video call nila sa atin, madali nalang natin sasagutin.
5617  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Junior [PPV on Nov. 28] on: August 12, 2020, 02:04:54 PM

I'm expecting this exhibition isn't just going to be the same as the other exhibition that we have seen like with those matches of Floyd. IMO, this is very far different from those exhibitions. I think Mike is going to bring all that he has for this match.

That latest floyd's exhibition boxing match with that Japanese fighter was just for kids to watch. I mean, what kind of match was that? it just looks like you are watching a Japanese game show. It didn't even get to round 6? I'ts obviously scripted judging how they fought with each other. it looks like the Japanese fighter was just a good actor. he better changes his career for his own good, maybe he can be an actor on sitcoms because he is the only fighter that looks so funny when fighting Floyd.

With lots of suggestions and tips posted in this community, I doubt that they cannot fix it by that time. I think they can just simply go here and ask certain problems with their nodes or the answer is always been here. the only thing they can do is follow the instructions given by the author. Of course, the author might already dead when that time comes. but his post will remain and thousand might benefits from it in the future. So our role can be just as easy as posting the solution before the problem would occur, as simple as that.
5619  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Netherlands pilot scheme to allow women to play in senior men's team on: August 12, 2020, 12:56:50 PM
This is not a good idea to realize, as we all know the difference in the vital parts between men and women can be the reason men
and women cannot play on one field. Imagine if a man clashed physically when fighting over the ball with a woman and accidentally
touched a part vital woman's body there will definitely be awkward moments. And this interferes with the course of the match, to my
knowledge women's bodies are weaker. So if women get tackled, they can get badly injured. It should be like now, women's and men's
football should be separated, except just for practice it doesn't matter.

I agree there's No way they can compete with each other because of their different roles in the society, this is not all about comparison to each genders but women have specifically have some things they can do specifically like watching the kids and so on so forth. You know what? I don't have patience for watching my kids for 5 minutes but my wife can do all that and my wife have things she can't do which is I the only one who knows. Let's keep it as simple as man vs man and women vs women in the sports games. let's not make innovations like we have seen in the cinema, they're just making it worse.

I thought this kind of problem was fixed since someone actually takes advantage to create hidden mining apps to hide on certain google extensions. I really thought everything was fine until now. anyway, the real ad blocker extension was not on the list, only these fakes ad blockers are there. In their play store as well, there are so many fake apps uploaded there.
