5641  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Not your key not your coins is real, not just quoted. (FTX Issue) on: November 13, 2022, 08:08:35 PM
Based on what I understand on FTX current situation. User can still get there funds once the FTX manage to file for bankruptcy to liquidate there assets for paying back customer money. Even Mt Gox is now paying back there customers after a long year while FTX is a regulated exchange on US which means users is protected by the law and has a chance to claim back there funds.

But the inconvenience of can’t use your money out of exchange is frustrating and the chance to wait for a long time just to claim it like Mt Gox all over again.

I hope everyone gets back their coins but isn't this a story we have already heard here in the forum several times?I think that the title of this thread is great and extremely important to emphasize that every fund that we hold through some third party no matter how trustworthy they may be,they still remain a third party at which we have not the slightest control whatsoever.

I was personally a victim of Cex.io where they refused to continue give me service after I declared them that the funds that I exchanged there were from mining activities,even send them pictures and videos yet their customer service was so incompetent and not at all tech savvy that they still asked me for an email for my wallet password  Grin not knowing what Electrum was at all,they stopped my account but they were kind enough to let me withdraw anything I had there.Based on my personal story I have said several times in other parts of the forum here especially in the Exchanges part that everyone should get their funds out of them and if they want to trade to keep only the amount they intend to do trading with.

I think the Pragmatic Play offers really good slots but their lack of giving the bonus round as often as the Play n Go providers makes them not my main favorite,it is still Play n Go because I need to be teased with the bonus round more often.Nevertheless both providers for me are the top two when it come to slot gaming,I rarely play any other provider beside these two well except the Relax Gaming Money Train slots,they are really great ones and Nolimit City only Road Rage slot.I like only these slots so far and I keep an eye on new slots released by all providers.

The Serie A is becoming interesting but unfortunately it is becoming interesting only in the fight for the second to the fourth spot as I doubt there will be any fight for the top spot despite that being possible mathematically for quite some time to come.Napoli form is perfect and they seem to not stop before any obstacle,there will be some direct games in the second part of the Serie A but if Napoli keeps their form there is no discussion,they will be the Champions of Serie A this year.

Two beautiful and difficult games in this night with Ac Milan facing Fiorentina and Juventus facing Lazio,it is a good ending to this week of Serie A.

I thought Brighton to be able to beat Aston Villa as I thought maybe their win against Manchester United was just a lucky coincidence and not that they really deserved it but seeing today that they got and won away it really means that their form recently has improved for real,the only bad thing is that now that they seemed to just get steam they will have to make more than 1 month of holidays because of the World Cup event starting this upcoming week.

At least Manchester United has started with the right foot by winning since early in the game away in Fulham home.

Verstappen is already worried about this race. I mean that he is the champion of course but he must be thinking about next season also considering Mercedes' great performance in sprint yesterday. He said that they didn't know how to stop Mercedes drivers in this race yet. We all saw how strong they were in the end. Both of them overtook Verstappen easily.

However the reason of these overtakes was related to not preferring the right tyres for sprint and Verstappen's taking some damage during it as well. I don't think Red Bull would make the same mistake. They aren't Ferrrari in the end, right?  Grin  However we might still watch a wonderful race for Russell - Hamilton duo. It would be really good to see Russell getting his first win in his career here though. There is some kind of a record going on for Hamilton as well like he has won at least one race in every season for 14 years. Let's see if one of these drivers will make it.

One thing is sure though and that is if they don't do it here in Brazil I doubt very much they can in Abu Dhabi seeing Redbull performance in those tracks.I have about 0.10 Litecoin spare to bet here and if the odd for Verstappen is high I am going to place a bet on him to win the race,after seeing the starting grid I am assuming Sainz got a penalty as I see the duo of Mercedes starting one two and then the duo of Redbull while third yesterday was Sainz.Based on this starting grid I am assuming that despite that the season is over we are going to watch a really beautiful race just after 2 hours.

I bet some LTC yesterday on Arsenal win as I had them left without doing nothing and yesterday I won a good amount,the problem is that I am an avid gambler slot player and lost everything in slots soon after.Arsenal is leading the table and I think this is not going to change until the end of the season because they have been so consistent that it is more than a minimum of 10-15 years they have got not this much points up to this level.

For today games Manchester United has a very delicate game away and if they lose it (which I don't think they will) they will be in a very difficult position.

We have left the sprint race behind. It was really delightful I think. Because we saw so many overtakes especially among the drivers at upper positions.

The competition between Verstappen and Russell was worth watching. Russell was so ambitious and managed to take the lead from him deservedly. He is starting in first position tomorrow. There was a significant drop in Verstappen's pace though. It must be due to choosing the wrong tyres for this. Because he was like the only driver who had medium tyres compared to the drivers near them. Sainz and Hamilton also didn't have much problem on overtaking him. Verstappen lost even more pace after a damage to his front wing.

The race can be really interesting as I expect a solid effort by Mercedes drivers especially.

So it makes us think but I think that Redbull are not stupid,they learn from their mistakes and yesterday they made a huge one,most probably because they fight for nothing now so they may be careless and they do not lose anything.In Brazil last year Mercedes completely dominated and beat Redbull without problems and most likely they will bring up a really good race but I want to see Redbull win again here just to show that they can bring us a good fight.We are already waiting for next season as this one is already finished from a long long time ago.

When you think about it in long term, do not think about it just 3 years, think about it in 30 years, does that still look small to you? In crypto I always think about it in 30 year terms, for all of my investments and if it doesn't look good after 30 years in my head, then I stop using it completely.
30 years in the future? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me, i can't even tell if a Dollar Or EUR exist in 30 years. And Bitcoin is under 14 years old, so there's no way to see how any crypto is doing even in 10 years. It could be totally whole new game with new kind of "crypto".

You're right, it doesn't really make sense to use time frames of 30 years or more. I don't look at my crypto investments for such a long period. Any investments (like everything else in our lives), can go up or down, same with trading and investing in cryptocurrency, but I don't want to be holding coins for years and years. The more volatile your investment is, the shorter the period of time you are going to want to invest. When I think about long term, I consider other investments, like real estate or gold.


I also don't think of crypto as a thirty year time frame as I know and we all know that Bitcoin all time high lately have happened every 4 times since 2013 and happened in 2013,2017 and the last one happened last year in 2021.This data makes me think that we should expect the next bull run in 2025 and also this emphasizes my thinking that the maximum I see the crypto investments is 5 years as an absolute maximum.

Unfortunately 2025 is far away and we have to be very patient until then and be immune to such happenings as the FTX while keeping a positive attitude until 2025.

@swogerino there’s no way that Freebitco will suffer the same fate as FTX, as both have a different model and Freebitco has made massive improvements over the year’s and in my personal opinion they’ll continue progressing upwards in the long term too. Furthermore they have been transparent with us and have valued this community opinion’s a lot, hence I don’t think that we should doubt their ability to survive and rather back them to reach even greater heights.

I know that,I was just saying to everybody to stay calm during FTX events if they will happen while we prepare for the 2025,I know that Freebitco.in as long as they give a Lambo for a draw I think they are in a really good position and as I already said some other times as long as there will be whale gamblers here there is nothing to worry and as of now from the beginning there were and are a lot of them.

Beside that they have many side hustles for everyone of us so I never doubt the power of Freebitco.in,it was just a general advice to stay calm and keep our cryptos in wallets that we have the private keys,that was the meaning.

What the f happened to Verstappen,he lost a lot of pace during the last laps before losing completely when he lost his left front wing in the fight with Sainz.Well most probably the medium compound which Verstappen choose to go with to have better drive-ability in the end of the race turned to be the complete opposite,drivers with soft tires were having much better times than him.It will be an interesting race tomorrow and big congrats to George Russell who will start the second time in this season from the first position on the grid.

Magnussen got very very lucky but it is also important how long they could keep that luck. It is understandable after such a situation why Mick Schumacher doesn't have any team offers, I am upset that Daniel Ricciardio doesn't have a contract neither and Mick too, both racers I really like, but Mick became 20th in a qualify that his teammate became first, sure the first was just a pure luck I don't deny that but being in Q3 wasn't luck, that part was talent whereas Mick became the very last.

Now it’s very important for Magnussen to keep that position as long as possible, of course other teams will pass him, there is no doubt and he won't be first, but how low he will go down is the key here, being 5th for example would be awesome, being in top 10 is not achievement when you start at the pole, so top 5 should be the aim when they have such a once in a million time chance.

Most likely Magnussen will lose his place in the first corner or at the very latest in the early laps,I am sure Redbull will not have any trouble to just surpass a Haas car because they are far superior in both engine,aerodynamics and also Verstappen is a much better driver than Magnussen.

The important part of the sprint race is for other drivers to improve their positions for the race of tomorrow as for tonight I doubt that Verstappen will not win this sprint race.

Manchester City was the biggest surprise of the week and now Arsenal has the golden opportunity if they win against Wolves and I see no difficulties winning against Wolves while they suffer just like Everton to score goals.

Everton was another big surprise for me as I thought they would have been able to at least get a draw but a 3-0 defeat from Bournemouth just further more emphasizes the Everton really bad form.I did pretty bad so far at the pool but so did the majority of the pool participants,we will go in the big pause with very little points difference between first place and 20th place.
5653  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Anyone mining on RTX4090 already on: November 12, 2022, 11:27:47 AM
To all crypto miners who still believe in gpu mining is there anyone using RTX4090 already for mining? What hashrate are you getting off the graphic card and which coin is the most friendly for mining on the RTX4090, also I need information on watt consumption and heat, this is urgent, I will drop more information later.

It is not fine tuned yet for mining but the for the initial tests that we have seen it is just a bit over 130 Mhsh in Ethash and Etchash algorithms.The problem with that card is that it consumes a lot of power and there have been a lot of reported cases that it usually burns the connectors with the passing of time,not just one case but several cases,so this card offers not a whole lot more than the 3090 which at least is stable and it does burns out the power connector.
5654  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: November 12, 2022, 11:00:51 AM
Brazil are my favorite to win this World Cup. They’re equipped in all departments and they have a blend of experienced and young players in that squad. If not all, most of these players in currently in a team that are performing well this season. I like how Tite drafted the 26-man list. The likes of Dani Alves and Thiago Silva will give them that experience and sense of leadership. It’s a good drafted squad, i tip them reach the final stage of the competition.
Dani Alves is likely to be valuable for the team with his experience, because he is no longer young and the field is no longer as good as before. When I was a boy I was always rooting for Brazil, all my friends in the yard were rooting and it was probably cool. Brazil is always a World Cup contender, but Germany and France can also play in the final, there are many deserving teams.

Brazil yes everyone sooner or later once in life has cheered for them,I also cheered for them when I was a young kid in 1994 and I still remember that World Cup final with Romario and Bebeto the two best forwarders in a team that I have ever seen in the sense that they understood each other without even seeing each one.

Having said that,now Argentina has one of the best elevens that they have ever had after Maradona and this time I am rooting for them because most likely they are going to show us a really good football during this World Cup,which I can't wait to start next week.
5655  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: November 12, 2022, 10:38:50 AM
Manchester city vs Brentford is an interesting match, I will like to watch to see if Brentford can stop Manchester city not to embrace victory from this match. I think, Manchester city will defeat Brentford 3-1 to alert other teams that they have what it takes to repeat what happened last season in this season to win the premier league title again. I believe, Haaland will definitely score goals that will make the fans happy in this match, because their midfielders and strikers are well prepared to work together to keep the winning going until they achieve victory from this tournament.
Let us never forget how amusing Premier League matches can be at times. Manchester City is undeniably better compared to Brentford and has a strong chance of winning the match. But keep in mind that Brentford has two wins against Manchester City in their last five matches, and they will want to get at least a point in the match to maintain their league position before the world cup break, which means Manchester City must be very careful in the match because Brentford may not have any players going to the world cup, whereas Manchester City does and will want to avoid injury in the match.

I think Manchester City like all the other teams of the Premier League will be fully focused in this game as we have not a Champions League going on until February and also we start the World Cup soon enough just next week.I think based on this that all teams will give their best performance in this last round of the Premier League.It is good to know the statistics that Brentford sometimes in the last 5 matches have won but that won't change the fact that when Manchester City plays full power not only Brentford but most likely no other team from the Premier League can contain them.

Magnusen took the "pole" really incredible and unpredictable for luck of us this doesnt count to pole in Superbru.

Or we have among us a crazy person who put him in the pole Tongue ?

I cant see the qualy because i was working, but i see Ferrari again making mistakes for the 1485425412 time in the season and of course agains Leclerc.

Magnussen was really lucky to take that pole position. It was his first-time in his career and it was the same for Haas as well. The rain was a huge help for him otherwise there was no chance that he would be able to maintain his lead after other lap attempts. Leclerc was so unlucky to be the victim of wrong strategies. Why would you just prefer intermediate tyres on still dry track? If he had the same tyres with others from the beginning then at least he could be at upper positions instead of starting from the 10th place to the sprint race tomorrow.



Actually sprint results are going to be important for Superbru. Because the sprint results will determine the winner of pole position there. So all of us still have a chance to guess the final winner.  Grin  EBP can be collected by making the predictions until the beginning of the sprint race now.

Yes the problem is that I think it will not have a big interest who is going to win the sprint race,most probably Verstappen but if the weather promise to change a lot then we could see some surprises here.Most likely it is going to be a beautiful sprint race as some of the drivers that usually start first are somewhat behind.

The EBP points are extremely important to the people fighting for a spot to win something out of this pool and the ones who miss out,may miss out a prize as well.
5657  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Whats going on with difficulty today,loving it! on: November 12, 2022, 09:33:50 AM
So I see the difficulty going down pretty well in the last 24 hours,especially the ETHW is in less than 300 T now and ETC less than 1.8 P while RVN also less than 200K,looking good but is this because of the FTX drama or because many miners are realizing now that they can't do much with their rigs until they are like I am mining even at a loss for a longer run and much better perspective than it is now?

What are your views in this,many of you predicted that difficulty lowering down would happen in a couple of months but it is happening in just 1.5 months after ETH moved to PoS.

I would imagine that a lot of people got burned by FTX directly or by having leveraged positions liquidated as a result of the market action. Many of these people are probably considering this the final straw and throwing in the towel as the stress becomes too much to bear. As always when there’s a panic, this is probably the best time for fresh money to enter the markets in order to bank off the next uptrend. If you can afford to mine right now, it’s probably a good time in spite of what the calculators say.

I can afford like 150-450 Mhsh in total to run with electricity not being the highest here yet and the government despite others in EU raised their price in here I am still with the old price so for the moment since the difficulty is low I have the new 150 Mhsh rig running with just 2 Rtx 3060 ti and an old card.

I already am stocking up good amounts of the ETHW which for me is gonna replace ETH maybe not that soon but in the long run I am extremely confident about this.

How Ferrari keeps failing every single time.

This is embarrassing

I don't know if it's just an excuse, but I've been reading that Ferrari is justifying the poor performance by the fact that they are focused on developing a "new car" for the next F1 season in 2023.
One thing we all know... Ferrari has invested a lot for the 2022 season and many here believed that it would be achieving a better place (or at least failing less).
Will a few more billion-dollar investments make a difference for next year?

It will make a difference if those few billion dollars more are invested in the right part of the car development.If they just spend this balance without a clear goal it is going to fail them,Redbull spent them wisely as in the beginning they were not performing very well but after spending a bit more than the budget cap and spending them where they saw they had problems soon brought new car performance which completely dominated the season after the 6th or 7th race.

For the sprint today it is going to be a really good race as it is starting first Magnussen but I doubt he will finish first,Verstappen is just at his tail and in the race we know how aggressive Verstappen is.
5659  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM..... on: November 11, 2022, 05:14:35 PM
Yeah, qualifying is earlier this time so I expected the drivers to care about FP1 more. There were 3 drivers in 0.009s and this was really fascinating.  Grin

It was a solid session for Ferrari, Red Bull and Mercedes all. Sprint is going to be more important than qualifying of course. Drivers can collect extra points in this session however having a good place at the end of qualifying is also important to climb the positions easier in sprint. I think that Leclerc might be able to get the pole position in qualifying. Verstappen has less number of pole positions compared to Leclerc (6 against 9). Ferrari can manage to be ahead of Red Bull in this session at least.

It is going to be difficult,I believe Verstappen is not giving his 100% as he has not a single motivation why he should,of course his ego as a driver should lead him to perform at 100% but even if does not what he has got to lose,absolutely nothing.

I see very close gap between the top 5 and I expect a Mercedes comeback in this track,last race Mercedes dominated completely the race and won the race despite starting from the back of the grid.I think this track is still favorable to them and most likely they will perform well here.

Slot machines are the part that bring the biggest revenue to casinos I assume because I am an avid slot player but when I go to the reputable casinos they bring a huge amount of slot machines from a lot of different providers,it is not an exaggeration to say that most reputable casinos offer more than 2000 slot machines for us to choose from and every single one has a different story and different game play mechanics making them the preferred game in gambling.

They are the most played games because they usually often have the highest win you can win in a casino game with some going up to x300.000 your bet,now find something that beats that,you simply can't.
