Hi! First of all, thanks in advance for your patience, second.. how do you know which post reaches the higest number of likes?
Is there a public ranking?
I'm not very familiar with, but probably they will use hashtag #FreeBitcoinGiveaway to determine winner. When you click on hashtag, you will see all posts with this hashtag and you only have to find which one have biggest number of likes and shares.

I also was confident that Argentina will pass Venezuela, I even managed to get correct score. But damn it, I forgot to leave prediction on Chile - Colombia game. I lost in time and thought that game will be played today. Nevermind, because I would have predicted Chile win and would get 0 points for that Cheesy.
Today I expect easy win of Uruguay against Peru.

Oh man, it sucks! I would like to tell something good to you, but I'm afraid it's not very likely that you will be able to return your BTC. I only can wish you to get well soon!
If you're going to leave coins on an exchange at least choose one of the larger ones which have been around for some years - but even then there are no guarantees.
It's never a good idea to leave coins on exchange for a long time, no matter reputable this exchange is. Cryptopia was pretty big exchange and they've been in markets for long time already, there was no red flags about this exchange as I remember and you see what happened.
The best solution is to buy hardware wallet to store your btc thete rather than storing it on an exchange to avoid losing your btc.
I'm afraid it's too late to suggest it. And people who aren't looking into crypto very seriously aren't likely to consider to spend ~$100 to buy hardware wallet. Sometimes like in OP story, people sometimes don't even bother to setup proper desktop or even web wallet. They rather leave coins on exchange.
6264  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: To all of you newcomers. Those are the best and safest Crypto wallet on: June 27, 2019, 10:35:09 PM
Electrum has far more features. Electrum allows you to control utxo , chosing the inputs that you will add to your transactions, reducing fees.
If you don't know what is it , take a look at this guide by LoyceV

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2848987.0

You can make small consolidations in your transactions, for example
Oh, this is what you mean about full control of funds. You're probably right, Ledger Live have less features than Electrum, and as mjglqw said, not supporting bech32 is probably most annoying thing for me. So, it's good that we have choice and use Ledger with Electrum if needed. Single Electrum without hardware wallet usn't bad choice, but not safest.

Today I was able to claim from faucet several times without any captcha. But I did nothing to remove id, I didn't wagered any BTC and didn't bought any lottery tickets recently. So, is it was bug or something else?

It might because of the price of Bitcoin going like a rocket. Your balance is one of the things used in the calculation for captcha free play.
Well, it makes sense. Yesterday when Bitcoin price was $11k or $12k, my ballance was big enough to play without captcha. But now when Bitcoin went down, I have captcha again.

Please don't devalue your work. I think it's not good idea to manange bounty for free. Maybe you don't have amazing portfolio, but you're not newbie here, you have created great website, so I think it's clear that you know how things are done. Free bounty management probably will attract only low quality scam projects.

Some random tokens without any value isn't collateral. No collateral - no loan.
I don't know what people expect by making such loan requests. Do they really believe that someone will give their money to random newbie with easy hand? Even high ranked member without collateral and trading history here probably would struggle to get loan.

Very interesting stats. Grass is very specific surface, very different from clay or hard surface. No surprise that Djokovic is favorite there.
I will be rooting for Nadal to win. That guy is coming back from injuries so I really hope he win this time.
I will also root for Nadal, but he isn't doing very well on grass, he is clay master.
Has Andy Murray retired already? He used to be a favorite in this tournament.
He announced about retirement after Australian Open because he struggled with injuries. But he returned after recovery few weeks ago and played in few doubles tournaments. Probably his ATP rating currently is too low to qualify to the Wimbledon.

Don't forget to place your picks for the knockout stages of the tournament.

I hope some of you managed to earn some money on France - Romania match. Both teams were certain to go trough with a draw. I managed to catch the odds @2.2 for the draw and later I saw the odds dropped as low as 1.6. Didn't watch the match but the fact that both teams combined didn't manage to have a single shot on target should tell you enough about the nature of that game. Poor supporters who payed for the ticket and Italy.
I didn't thought about it before the game. I didn't even put goals under on this game :/. And yeah, it was shitty match, both teams just didn't wanted to win. Not much action in this game...
What are your thoughts about semifinals, guys? Germany is favorites on the paper, but after amazing performance in group stage it would be stupid to understimate Romania. And in Spain - France game, I think it's impossible to predict something there.

You need to contact them. Here you can find contacts of CCN:
https://www.ccn.com/contact/
Send them email with your offer. If they will be interested in your offer, I think they may ask to show some examples of your articles to be sure that you're good writer. If you won't get response from CCN, you may try to contact other crypto news media websites like Coindesk or Cointelegraph. Just browse their websites to find contacts.
P.S. Don't make multiple posts in a row, it's not allowed. You can respond to multiple posts in single message.

Good thing it’s in the summer now instead of interrupting the domestic season. Teams used to lose important players for a month. It will be very, very hot to play this tournament though.
Yeah, it's good that they moved tournament to summer. But now there is another problem - now it's summer and it's crazy hot in Africa, so it's difficult conditions to play.
Copa America, Euro U21, Women's world cup, and now the Africa Cup...Summer is stacked with football.
Yeah, we have lot of action now. I thought that summer without World Cup or EURO will be boring. So far I didn't had time to watch cup of nations, probably I will start watching from crucial group games and knockout stages.
6273  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: can someone explain me why do people give btc to others solve captchas, faucets? on: June 25, 2019, 11:03:50 PM

So 1 and 2 can turn into a scam, but 3 is not. I believe the majority of the faucets are type 3 but those are not famous enough. 1 and 2 types are less in number but can be turned into a scam anytime.
1 and 2 type of faucets is the most risky, especially with big payout treshold. Unless it's well know faucet which are working for long time already. Faucets which pay to microwallets can't turn into scam. But microwallet can - remember epay.info or faucetsystem.com...

Doesn't faucethub offer like a max hourly rate of satoshi's being given out? I think these measures have improved somewhat over the years, but still, they don't really combat someone who actually puts some effort into cheating your faucet.
I'm not sure about Faucethub, but Faucetbox had this thing. But even security limits didn't helped to protect my faucet, bots somehow managed to steal my ballance. Probably it was loophole in faucet script. At least in past cheating faucets was very profitable activity. Faucets weren't protected very well. Now Faucethub have fancy Anti-Fraud system for users with Premium membership and I don't see many people complaining about bots. Now ad revenue is the main issue for faucet owners.

If you decided to list best hardware wallets, I think you must mention Ledger Nano X. It's newest wallet of Ledger which allows to install up to 100 coin apps at the same it. While Nano S allows to install very limited number of apps.
Even if you have a trezor or ledger you will probably want to download Electrum soon. The wallet software of those hardwallets are very poor and do not allow to control your funds as Electrum does.
Can you be more specific what's wrong with their software? I use it with Ledger Live and I'm happy with it in general. But yeah, using Electrum with hardware wallet can be a good alternative.
6275  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if you can have a dinner with Mr Satoshi on: June 25, 2019, 10:35:48 PM
You mean Mr. Craig Wright, yes?
I don't really like "What if" kind of topics, because usually unreal things are discussed here.
I would have lot of questions for Satoshi. But mainly I would like to discuss about current things and future of Bitcoin and whole crypto world. Is it everything went as he expect looking in the long term. Are he happy about where Bitcoin is now. What does he he thinks about regulations, attitude of governments, banks, Bitcoin adoption in general. It would be interesting to hear Satoshi opinion about some certain altcoins, ICO's and Bitcoin Cash.

Jasper Cilessen is also said to be on the verge of joining Valencia, having undergone medical with the club in the early hours of today.
Valencia already announced about it officially. I perfectly understand Cilessen, he wanted to be No. 1 goalkeeper, what is impossible when we have ter Stegen. Valencia goalkeeper Neto probably will go in opposite direction and will become second goalkeeper of Barca.
Barca also sold Andre Gomes to Everton for €25 millions. Barca bought him for €35 millions, so it's not the best deal.

I'm a bit disappointed about France - Romania game which ended 0:0. Both teams didn't showed good efforts yesterday, draw satisfied both teams because such result means that both Romania and France goes to the semifinals. So, none of them didn't wanted to win.
Semifinals will be played on Thursday. Spain - France is hardly predictable game. Romania also showed that we can't understimate them, so it won't be easy for Germany.
6278  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: can someone explain me why do people give btc to others solve captchas, faucets? on: June 25, 2019, 09:50:37 AM
they're not getting paid for solving captchas,
It's not fully correct. There are few captcha providers who are paying to website owners, for example SolveMedia. Ad is displayed in their captcha and this is source of money. But it's so insignificant that website owner will have to wait few years to reach payment treshold. Also, there was Coinhive proof of work captcha with CPU miner  and they also paid to their users.
But I don't agree with "turned scam" for all because not all faucets in the past and now don't offer deposit except some such as freebitcoin.
So those faucets who haven't offered deposits can't be called scam if they shut down the faucet. Users haven't lost any money.
I don't agree with you. Imagine you're claiming from faucet for few months to reach 50 000 Satoshi payout treshold. And at the end you won't get paid. Is it not scam? IMO it's like to join signature campaign/bounty and don't get paid from it.
6279  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: can someone explain me why do people give btc to others solve captchas, faucets? on: June 24, 2019, 10:18:17 PM
Shortly is all about the money. Faucet owners are getting revenue from advertisements and they are paying part of this round back to their users. Captchas are needed to stop bots, otherwise without captcha faucet would be left empty without funds just in a few minutes. I see that you registered here in the end of 2017, so you probably missed times when faucets was a thing and it was possible to earn decent number of BTC in quite short time. Current faucets can't be compared with these thad we had 3-4 years ago.
Ad revenue in the main. Why advertisers pay for the totally worthless clicks users are tricked into carrying out is beyond me but there must be enough of a hit rate to make it worthwhile.
Well, it's probably main reason why Google Adsense banned all faucets 3 or 4 years ago. Now usually you won't find high quality ads on faucets - usually it's gambling websites, NSFW websites, affiliate links and ponzi schemes advertised here.
And pointless.
I could argue with this statement. In past faucets were great thing. Huge number of people (including myself) got introduced to Bitcoin and crypto through faucets. But now as akamit said, traditional faucet business is dying.

Great stuff, thank you for making this list. Personally, Etherscan is my prefered Ethereum explorer. I find all data that I need there. For me it's very convenient to check information about my ERC-20 tokens there. On some occassions I also use Blockchair. Some of websites in your article is new for me. Well, I'm going to check it, it's always good to have alternatives.
P.S. I think that this thread belongs to Altcoin board, probably Service Discussion.
P.S. 2. Check date of your post - UPDATED 24.06.1976. I doubt that it was updated 43 years ago Cheesy
