Grin $1.00 is strong! I will give it 6 months beginning on January, 2020 to dump on $0.50. However, if it remains strong, it might be the time to begin buying hehehe.

New Poll Up:

12/08 8:20 PM

[157] SEATTLE
[158] LA RAMS

Line is currently -1 Seattle, cutting it pretty close. Rams need this one a bit more than Seattle, so my hunch is their gonna put on an extra high-geared performance for this one, and pull out the win. So again I'm voting for the underdog this week.

However, Seattle Seahawks want the important bye on the post season. They should win all their games before the rematch versus San Francisco again or they might not get it hehehe.

Moneyline on the Seahawks is my bet.

@wheelz1200. You are right, sportsbet.io has MVP bets. Lamar is the favorite 1.35 then Russ Wilson 4.25 then Deshaun Watson 15.00.

@hatshepsut93. That also argues for my point on postponed settlements. Something similar to theft, fraud or loss might occur because payments are not final.

In related news, the government of China has given favor to some exchanges that they might reckon would bow to them and banned the exchanges they do not want hehehe. What is the technical term for this?


Huobi China has joined a state-backed blockchain alliance envisioned to be one of the most influential infrastructure services providers in the country.

The Chinese branch of Huobi Group announced its membership in the Blockchain-Based Services Network (BSN) Development Alliance at its launch on Sunday in Hangzhou of Southern China, the company told CoinDesk.

Led by State Information Center (SIC), a think tank affiliated with the National Development and Research Commision, China’s highest central planning agency, the network is planning to offer infrastructure services for any Chinese or international entity that uses blockchain.

Tony Ferguson interview on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show
Talking about Khabib Nurmagomedov fight, and he says that he’s in Khabib’s head Smiley

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hcpr7FeBUk

I reckon that might be true hehehe. There was an interview in Russian on Khabib in his hometown in Dagestan where he said that he is more motivated to train versus Tony than his last 4 opponents. However, the effect might not what Tony wanted. Similar to what occured to Conor's trash talking, it only made Khabib stronger hehehe.



“I will train hard. With every fight, I gain more and more experience. I’m getting older, I am 31. I think it’s the peak age of [a] fighter’s career. Of course, I will train more for this fight because I got worthy opponent. He is very good and very dangerous opponent. And to be honest, I lacked this motivation for my last fights.Iaquinta,Conor,Barboza,Poirier.They’re not the same as Tony Ferguson. That’s why I feel that fire burning inside me again.”

@posi. I am not certain if this is true, however, there were some stories that said Anthony Joshua had a panic attack during training and he also did not want to fight on that night. He did not underestimate Andy Ruiz. He was not ready.

In any case, ring girls are part of boxing culture. If the princes of Saudi Arabia do not like it, I reckon boxing should stay where the whole culture is welcome.

There are only 4 weeks of regular season games left, does everyone already have their candidates for their MVP hehehe? I reckon Russ Wilson might be leading and Lamar Jackson close on 2nd.

Where can we bet on this?
6068  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: December 04, 2019, 02:20:57 AM

However, you should not bet against Kawhi and Paul George together in home court. I reckon wait for load management news hehehe. There might be one because they are playing the Bucks on the road after Portland.

If you have some kind of hatred for power teams then you might really want to bet against them.  Grin
One example is me betting against the Lakers team. I just really love being on the losing side and then a sudden win will happen.  Grin Bad habit of mine.

Clippers though is difficult to predict. They win against a high seed team and then lose against the low seed. One example is the Phoenix Suns.
Also, there are player absences that happens before the game starts, I don't really like that kind of method.
I don't want to be keeping up to date for every player just because they have a diarrhea.  Grin

I might go against the Clippers if they will give me a good advantage like a large addition to the score of the team they are against. (which mostly happens)

The Clippers have a good home record, however. If you want to bet against them, they should be playing as the favorite on the road with the bookies giving a good handicap for the underdog. +6 and above it hehehe.

@pbfarmer. Use it while you can, however we cannot trust it to maintain it once pressured by regulators.

@Hueristic. He is also not a troll hehehe.

Yeah he's not a troll. Lol


Also, what is lower scaling and what will it match?

Means the blockchain may scale with transactions better once privacy is achieved, IE less bloat.
We shall see once they address the issues they currently face.



Blockchains with better privacy will scale less. This was what occured on Monero on the introduction of RingCT. Blocks became heavier and it was the reason why Aeon did not activate the code and might also have removed it from the codebase. I will ask @smooth.

@hatshepsut93. However, was the stress worth it? I reckon, no.

This might be the first lesson that introducing postponed payments on bitcoin might open it to unsound transactions because of bugs and maybe also theft.
6071  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The Essential NFL Thread 🏈🏈 - new poll every week on: December 03, 2019, 01:20:27 AM
@ralle14. No, a Seahawks win will only be tied on both the division and the conference. However, the 49ers will play on the road versus the Saints next hehehe. But if 49ers win it, the Seahawks will have another opportunity on the last game of the regular season, assuming that both win all their games left. Check their schedule hehehe.

Also, you use sportsbet.io?
6072  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: December 03, 2019, 12:51:30 AM
Guys,

What do you think about

Wizards vs Clippers game tonight?

Clippers are the clear favorite, but I plan to play it on +8 @ 2.90.IMO it's worth the risk at that odds.


Clippers won again even with the handicap. It might not really be a good offer at all.

Next will be against Portland. This might a better chance for risking your money.
I might bet with Portland if they would put a good addition for them.
They are on a 3 game winning streak now and I think they still have the winning aura if they will face against the Clippers.
Melo is on fire now. It is just a slow start but he is gaining his phase. Double double against the Bulls.

However, you should not bet against Kawhi and Paul George together in home court. I reckon wait for load management news hehehe. There might be one because they are playing the Bucks on the road after Portland.
6073  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The Essential NFL Thread 🏈🏈 - new poll every week on: December 03, 2019, 12:28:39 AM
@wheelz1200. Also, this is the Seahawks chance to slowly begin taking the division lead from San Francisco. They will be taking advantage of 49ers loss versus the Ravens.

The difference between -2.5 and -3 is big. Like you, I take the -3 hehehe.

This report might be related. However, we do not know if Chinese exchanges based in Shanghai are using policy reasons for their safety or as an opportunity to exit scam hehehe.

I speculate more reports of lost CEOs coming soon.


In something seemingly out of a movie, the chief executive of IDAX, a lesser-known cryptocurrency trading platform purportedly in Shanghai, has disappeared off the face of the Earth. The exchange has since been in damage-control mode, trying to pick up the pieces of their crumbling platform.

On November 24th, IDAX revealed that it would no longer serve its Chinese clients due to “policy reasons,” but will continue serving users in “other countries.” This was a surprising announcement, for sure, but as the company asserted that it would maintain service for its clients in permitted regions, no one was all too concerned.

But in the day or two after the China-related announcement, reports started flooding Twitter and other social media platforms that IDAX had started to service lapses, specifically the exchange’s cryptocurrency withdrawal feature

A report from Chinese cryptocurrency media site “Blocklike” published on November 26th revealed that its sources said that Lei Guorong, CEO and founder of IDAX, had “run” due to the fact that the exchange was running a deficit.

6076  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Conor McGregor vs. Donald Cerrone [JAN 2020] Discussion on: December 01, 2019, 03:21:19 AM
There are a lot of hate towards Conor McGregor in the forum and i wonder whether he will be able to pull the same numbers like he used to do in the past
When McGregor came into the UFC the entire crowd was behind him as he was entertaining and was winning fights and he was a mystic mac. he might have fast tracked and got title opportunities because of his huge number of fan followings and if you start behaving like a dick you are portraying the entire country in a bad light as everyone is a dick and that will reflect in his fan following after that.

In any case, the skeptical me is thinking that punching the old man was a set up and all the other bad news about him was created by him conciously for everyone to hate him to make himself remain relevant in the game.
That would be a million dollar stunt as i am sure he settled the old man after that, if you are famous and rich and if you start getting into trouble everyone will be having the share of the free money.

It might be less than a million dollar stunt because the old man might be part of the stunt hehehe. It might also be a trick to cause a certain Russian fighter mad at him and fight him.

This is only the skeptical me speculating hehehe.
6077  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hard Wallet Privacy on: December 01, 2019, 03:04:47 AM
@gbr79a. If you are extremely scared for your safety and privacy, you should use a Monero donation address. You can use xmr.to to purchase something in bitcoin.
Facts. I know a bit of a privacy freak that only accepts payments via XMR, and then uses a mixer/exchange (I forgot which one) to then instantly transfer the amount into BTC, and then he sends it instantly to his cold storage.

I wouldn't be really scared about holding any amount below 10 BTC, especially if it's on a hardware wallet, just keep that safe and you should have no issues with hacks/privacy exploits in the future. If you still want to go through the hassle, mocacinno has a great post for you to follow.

That would be the user's risk if he trusts the exchange or the mixer. Be careful, however. If intelligence agencies can control some exchanges, it can also control some bitcoin mixers.

@uray. Cowboy might prolong the fight to the 4th and 5th rounds and he will use the only advantage he has versus Conor. His cardio hehe.
6079  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Conor McGregor vs. Donald Cerrone [JAN 2020] Discussion on: November 30, 2019, 03:29:26 AM
The giant is back in the ring and just like every time, this is going to be a very hyped match when it comes to bets and gambling. The match is taking place in Las Vegas on January 18 next year. My favorite obviously is the Irishman Conor. Who do you think you'd be placing your bets on?
Finally Conor McGregor is tired of fighting old people in bar and planned on returning back to the cage, he lost many fans because of the outside antics and when he returns i would like to see whether he can attract crowd like he used to do in the past, so this fight is really important for his career as he needs to be well prepared and a loss again would end his career literally. The reason i like this match up is because the Irishman is smart enough to pick Donald Cerrone because there is a past history of Cerrone handling trash talking and he usually performs badly and that happened in the Nate Diaz fight and Donald Cerrone could not do any major attack and that might happen in this fight too as Conor is a master trash talker.

He did not lose me hehehe.

In any case, the skeptical me is thinking that punching the old man was a set up and all the other bad news about him was created by him conciously for everyone to hate him to make himself remain relevant in the game.

It might be the only way Khabib will pay attention to him.
6080  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [AEON] Aeon Speculation on: November 30, 2019, 02:54:12 AM
@sammy007. It is easier to recover only because the liquidity and volume are very low. In low liquidity cryptocoins similar to Aeon, holding more than what the coin's liquidity can catch is also a risk.

Also, if delisted from Bittrex, how can we sell? The other exchanges' liquidity are closer to nonexistent hehehe.
