Yes, you're definitely welcome to come for a visit during the World Cup of Rugby.  I'm in the same delema being at the opposite side of the planet to the vast majority of sporting events that occur around the world.

The Eels had an emphatic win over the Bulldogs with a 34 - 12 win overnight.  The bulldogs were denied a late try in a game that was very one sided.

The Eels win also pushes the Dolphins to eleventh on the ladder.

Storm (third on the ladder) beat the Sharks (fifth on the ladder) 58 - 10.  I would have accepted 28 - 10, but not 58 - 10



We can see on the Ladder (now that all top eight have played their games this week) there is a clear order starting to emerge.  Due to the 17 teams where each team has a BYE in turn together with the Sate of Origin causing smaller numbers of teams to play in the week prior and of the series, teams have also had a second BYE gaining two points, but as you can see, the Panthers on points are ahead in more ways than one claiming the number one spot.

Tonight's game is between the Bulldogs and Eels which is occurring as some States celebrate the King's Birthday today.  (New Zealand celebrates the King's Birthday the weekend prior)

I was beginning to think nothing would go my way this week (in more ways than one) then the Broncos and Panthers came through with wins tonight. I'll have to have a look at the replays tomorrow.

The first game the bunnies staged a late comeback scoring back to back tries in the dieing minutes but were unable to equalise the score going down 36 - 30 against the Dragons.

Except for the carburetor you could be talking about me or countless others.

I know in my own case I have books, comics, trading cards (an endless list in itself) but how many?

I sometimes wonder if hiring a hall for a week gathering up all the boxes and unpacking them into each type might be the way to go to get an idea how many of this or that I have then i could aim to do car boot markets, drop off at charities or go down the eBay spiral of fees upon fees (not to mention the packaging and postage dramas)...

This is why I'm wondering as to whether or not a stocktake might be the way to go.

Wonderful news!

Are you going to come to Australia for the Rugby World Cup? We should see if we can entice @Welsh to come over as well. That would definitely make us an international cheer squad.

It's a long way from SEQ to Vegas. The owner of Pawn Stars seems to buy an impossible number of items for himself, So I don't know how he makes any money, unless it's from royalties from the show. 🤔

I've bought a handful of crypto items on spec, but I've definitely dialled down anything of a collectable nature while I take stock of what I've got.

Perhaps doing an actual "stock take" might be the first step.

I'm in a similar situation - I even have two cars (the "old" one I wasn't able to do a "trade in" when I bought the new car, so it's a run around town car).

I've got plenty of collectables including comics and trading cards, figurines etc and have come to the same conclusion. I tried to sell some tazos and trading cards here and found every PM I received wanted to practically take them for a pittanceregardless of what the photographs show to the contrary) and questioned the postage even though I sent the link to the Australia Post website.

Are you planning on updating us with your progress? I for one would be interested to read your experiences (it might prompt others including myself to do a little bit of a declutter before we go on to down size)

I thought I had placed a bet on the Dolphins - I'll check during the day.  I've just got up - Time for coffee first.  (Shame about my parlay tanking on the first game)

*edit*

Not looking good for the Dolphins with the score being 28 - 6 against at half time.

*edit again*

The Sea Eagles won 58 -18 at full time (good thing I'd already gone to bed I think - that would have been a horror to watch)  I haven't been able to pick a winner all week it would seem.

Yeh tonight I'm going with the Tigers.  They made a colossal comeback last week, so my money is on them.  Likewise, the Auckland Warriors have been playing tough this year as has Canberra who I think will pip their New Zealand opponents at the post.  The Rabbitohs should easily slay the Dragons.  It'll be an upset if Newcastle ($4.150) can reign in the Broncos even though on the ladder there isn't much of a gap between the top ten teams.

Goal kicker for the Panthers Nathan Cleary is out for many weeks with a torn hamstring, so their conversion points may suffer, but I'm going with the Panthers.

I'm going with the Sharks over the more favoured Storm but am going to say the more favoured Eels with bring the Bulldogs to heal.

One of the Tigers went off with a broken jaw and was taken to the nearby hospital in a private car as the hospital is only three streets away.

After that the Titans romped home to win 28 - 12

Nice catch there @    Pandu Geddon - we need to be ever vigilant for scammers who will turn up when you least expect it.

Congratulations OgNasty !

I just had a look at my own creation date and have just noticed I'm one week away from commiserating ten years in the Forum.  I'm not quite at the ten thousand posts mark, but it can't be too far away.

Like you I came to the forum seeking information on crypto currency when I read it had its basis in a public and private key combination like PGP before it to ensure your own funds are yours.

Here's to another dozen years (at least!) for both of us.

There's a full round of games being played this weekend - a few of the players are out with injuries, but it doesn't seem like there are concentrated in one team, so it shouldn't affect game play too much.

It's probably escaped your notice that I have presented the facts as I see them in a professional manor and have not allowed myself to become involved in petty name calling, threats or retaliatory attacks up to and including creating flags on a whim as one of the alts has done which demonstrates how untrustworthy they are.

Just because one person says "You're wrong!" doesn't make it right - the rest is just an echo chamber.

Off topic posts (threats) have been removed.  Thread has been derailed and will be locked for now, but I'll revisit this at a later time.

Final score in the vote is four UID's for borrowers lending for the purposes of participating in a Ponzi/Hyip while seventeen users are against borrowers lending for the purposes of participating in a Ponzi/Hyip

As well as a retalitory Flag, this retalitory trust feedback dropped on my trust feed back page in an attempt to silence me:

*edit*

After four grueling days waiting for my bitcoin transfer transaction to confirm with the exchange in question (to then convert into USDT) I have been able to (eventually) recreate similar circumstances for outbound USDT TRC 20 transactions which appear as though funds are (double sent / two step) firstly from a wallet on the exchange to one of the exchange hot wallets and then from another hot wallet to the recipient.

In effect the exchange has it's own in built mixer.

Recovering funds from a borrower who absconds with borrowed funds would be even more hard to track for a lender - especially if no collateral has been provided.

While I haven't done inbound (i.e. deposits) to users on the exchange I'm guessing the is a similar two step process (probably three - deposit, hot mixer then the recipient's wallet address)

Wrong again:


Here is what I wrote:


The post remains unedited.

I can only suggest you either verify what I wrote or not.

You also quoted the wrong wallet - not that it matters much given you have worn rose coloured horse blinkers in this forum for quite a long time now.

Disappointing really.

Actually - you know what?

Let's all do an experiment...

Download and install the OKX App from your favourite app store.

• Register.
• Select Wallet.
• Copy the twelve word seed phrase when prompted to do so.
• Select Bitcoin and send a small amount.  (This step isn't really necessary)
• Select Tron and send a small amount (1,000 Tron is fine).
• Select USDT taking care to select the Tron network.

Observe the wallet address.

Does it start with TAMw5L ... ??

Does it start with TM1zzND ... ??

Does it start with Tsomething else  ... ??

Now go back and with a new twelve word seed phrase create a new wallet and another ... and another ... (or, from the drop down menu add account - Observe the USDT Tron wallet address)

@LoyceV @nutildah @mendace @CYBER_COWBOY @examplens @gordonics.com are you absolutely certain that the exchange uses THE SAME WALLET for all transactions.

Hopefully @yahoo62278 and @1miau are have also done the above task.

---

---

Given that the exchange uses a twelve word seeds wallet known only to you, How can both @alterra57 and @HedgeFx send funds FROM the same wallet unless they are alts?

Thank you for your kind words @yahoo62278 - hope your recovery is going well.

Thanks also to @1miau - I would have, however that thread is a moderated one which invalidates flags.

I'm on my way to work and will respond later in the day.

Do anyone have any information that can back up the observation that the exchange uses just two hot wallets purportedly for millions of dollars of transactions for all of its users?

By information I'm talking about websites that have independently observed this phenomena.  From what I can tell it's main user base is in China even though it is headquartered in elsewhere.

Does Tron (USDT TRC20) also have this same phenomena?

Here's what we know so far:

Both claim they didn't do it while one claims they are on the Italian boards.

That is all.

Meanwhile as you have no doubt seen by trolling my posts in other threads, I have been seeking out information on the exchange and their apparent use of a single hot wallet for all inbound and outbound transactions together with the reading thought the various scam accusations against the exchange dating back to 2017.  (not to mention other users in those threads giving undertakings to have a look at the proof objectively).

Other than Trolling me (yet again) what's your interest in these two ?

Incorrect.

Angst and denial are to be expected followed by a couple users who say they "don't want to get involved or take sides" posts ...  But then they do take sides without offering any counter proof after all.

There's nothing to respond to.
