^  So...  What club is suitable for Mourinho's 'style'?  Just wondering.
Personally, I doubt that one of big clubs will hire Mourinho soon. I would predict that Mou can become manager somewhere in China, Japan, Qatar or another rich country where he would get huge contract and not much pressure. Or we will see him on TV as a pundit Cheesy

Right now? Sure. But in the future assuming Bitcoin's price increases a lot? It's going to make more sense.
Well, if Bitcoin will reach moon - something like $50 000 or  $100 000, then probably these smaller units will be used more widely, but I don't believe that bits, mBTC or Satoshi can become main denomination of Bitcoin. 1 Bitcoin always will remain to be 1 Bitcoin.

Huawei won't be shipping with any improvment on Android.

Look into the smaller Linux based phone platforms (Jolla etc) or using Lineage without Play Services/Gapps, for now those are the only alternatives I've found
Probably they will have to create their own OS. In past I already read article with rumours that Huawei is working on their own Linux based OS called Kyrin:
https://m.gsmarena.com/huawei_may_be_building_a_custom_kirin_os_for_the_honor_play-amp-31374.php
But let's be honest, it will be impossible for Huawei to compete with big players in the market without Android.

Armenian genocide is not the reason. If that was the case, then no ethnic Armenian would have been able to visit Turkey, where the genocide occurred. The real reason is the ongoing conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the Nagorno Karabakh region. The Armenian minority in Azerbaijan was banished after the war (in 1993) and as far as I know, no one with an Armenian passport have been able to enter that country ever since.

I don't know who chose Baku for the final. FIFA and UEFA should step in and shift the match to some other location, such as Sochi or Tbilisi.
Yeah, thanks for correcting me. As said above, there are danger for him to play in Azerbaijan, his security will be guaranteed. But I perfectly understand him why he made such decision.
Now it's too late to change location of final, but in future UEFA should consider such things when choosing place for their events. Offcourse, money is a big factor in such situation. As I know, one company from Azerbaijan is inportant sponsor of UEFA.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan will miss final match against Chelsea. He isn't injured, he will not travel to Azerbaijan because he worried about his security.  There is political tension between Armenia and Azerbaijan, we know history of Armenian Genocide were over 1.5 million people were killed. It's shame that important player have to miss final because of such reasons. And question is open - is it Baku was right choice for the final?

This is politics and nothing more. All these devices, Huawei, iPhone, Samsung have lot of information about us, I don't see difference between them. If China government is spying through Huawei phones, it's interesting why USA didn't touched other Chinese phone manufacturers like OnePlus or Xiaomi. Probably because they are still relatively small players in the market... And obviously Google isn't an angel too. Just remember all these billions worth fines that they got in EU.
Now it will be interesting to see counter reaction of China. Knowing that huge number of iPhones are made in China, probably they will prepare something painful.

Niki Lauda - true legend of F1, Rest in Peace. He had amazing life and career. It's unbeleavable that he survived that horrible crash and returned back to F1. I'm too young and didn't had chance to see him racing, but I recommend to watch movie Rush about Lauda and his rivalry with James Hunt.
I think in this Gp all major teams have equal chances to win this race, it just depends on who takes the pole.
True, qualification is crucial in Monaco, because it's impossible to overtake here. But it's difficult to talk about chances, first I think we need to see results of free practice at least.

You should be very careful when choosing website where to invest your BTC. You must read reviews about website, check how they make money to pay interest and etc. Stay away from websites which offering huge interest rates because legit website will never pay huge interest. If it sounds to good to be true - most likely it's scam.
There are several ways how to earn interest in crypto - these investment platforms described in OP, investment in casino bankrolls and POS coins. But you should know that every investment have their own risks and isn't completely safe.
Currently I have invested only to Freebitco.in not big amount of BTC to earn interest. My investment is small, so interest that I earn is insignificant. Freebitco.in in business since 2014, and they haven't scammed anyone, but despite that I fear to invest bigger amount of BTC because there I can't fully control it.

Mistertango have stop their service to new acc I think.
With personal iban is any other choice??
Why do you think so? I have checked their website and they still offering to open account on their bank. But I haven't tried to create account since I already have it since the old times.
If other online banks are blocking your accounts, probably you're doing something wrong...
6330  Other / Meta / Re: Improving the current ban situation on: May 20, 2019, 08:50:38 PM
1. I think that signature bans is right punishment. I don't think we should tolerate copy-pasters up to certain level by giving them warning points.
2. Plagiarism is against forum rules and trust has nothing here.
3. Without strict enforcement this rule is useless more or less, but I think that we should leave it. Permanent bans means permanent, forever, I don't think that people should be allowed to start with new account.
I have different idea - statute of limitations (sorry if I used term incorrectly). If plagiarism was done very long time ago and user didn't repeated this mistake later, I think that he shouldn't be banned. It's same like if you make small crime long time ago, you can't be punished for it after 5 or 10 years.
4. Maybe we should leave this for moderators. Community voice may be used only as recommendation. For example if user who got banned was very useful for community and contributed a lot and many people are asking to unban him, maybe mods could consider.

BTCevo, it's classic and very obvious scam attempt, very similar to these "Nigerian Prince" scams schemes. First of all, as I know Freebitco.in didn't held any annual competition with silver prizes. Secondly, if you win something on Freebitco.in, you're not asked to deposit money to claim prize. Third, they wouldn't give deposit address through email - your deposit address is only visible on your Freebitco.in account. And finally, I doubt that Freebitco.in would send email with such mistakes like "Now we want to deposit the prize into our account"
6332  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2016/17 on: May 20, 2019, 08:03:27 PM
All I have been emphasizing! Barcelona needs to be ready for the Post-Messi-Suarez-Busquets era, If they are not fully prepared it might take them way longer than it is currently taking AC Milan to get themselves together to be a giant in Europe that they used to be.
Good thoughts. And I'm really worrying what will happen in post-Messi era because it's obvious that's impossible to find equal replacement for him. And now it's obvious that Barca aren't ready to live without him. Just remember how many times this season Messi saved our asses. We already experienced end of Xavi-Iniesta era and we can see that Barca are still struggling to find replacement for these players. Arthur sometimes been called new Xavi, but few some games per season isn't enough to earn this name.

Excuse me, but who is Thymos? Do you mean thermos theymos? Cheesy
Your perspective is interesting , but I think we shouldn't exaggerate our roles on this forum. We are just ordinary people and you need to make something very significant to be called legends. Satoshi, Hal Finney, Gavin Andersen and other people who worked in early days of Bitcoin are real legends. Laszlo Hanyecz also can be called legend I think Cheesy.
These people that you mentioned - I feel huge respect for them and they probably can be called as our forum legends. But they didn't made something very significant outside forum to be called Bitcoin legends.
6334  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase could buy Xapo on: May 20, 2019, 07:39:23 PM
Interesting news. In past, maybe 3-4 years ago Xapo was very popular wallet and it was serious competitor for Coinbase. But in recent years it looks that they lost huge number of users. People left Xapo because they didn't provided good service - ridiculous fees, bad customer support, no working debit cards and etc. But still, I'm surprised that they hold such big number of Bitcoins - over 700k.
I'm not sure about price that Coinbase are going to pay to aquire Xapo. $50 millions - is it a big price for such service? I suppose that's not very big money for Coinbase.

Great stuff OP. But I think that you need to change your thread title because it's a bit confusing. You can't sell Used gift cards. I think it should be Unused gift cards Wink
Thank you for useful guide.
6336  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tottenham Vs LiverPool UEFA Final on: May 19, 2019, 09:38:54 PM
I think special thread for the final isn't needed as we already have one general thread for Champions league where we discuss all season long.
My thoughts about final. Both teams did unbeleavable thing in road to this final. And I have mixed feelings about it. Spurs is my favourite English teams and I still can't beleave that they are in Champions league final. They've been bottling both in EPL and UEFA competitions in recent years, but finally they reached something huge.
Liverpool have amazing season. They've been so close from winning EPL and they are so close from winning Champions league. So, I think they deserved to wing this trophy. But I'm still feeling salty at Liverpool after kicking out Barca in amazing style :/.
I'm not going to predict who will win. After such crazy things that we saw this season, especially in semifinals, so I think it's hardly possibke to predict something correctly. Just enjoy football!
6337  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The usage of the "bits" denomination with bitcoin on: May 19, 2019, 09:19:59 PM
Honestly, I don't know what's wrong with use of full BTC. Wide use of these small units would change anything in my opinion because it's not important factor. I doubt that significant numbrr of people bought some altcoins/tokens just because they can't afford to buy one full Bitcoin.
I think that small units of BTC is already used widely enough, offcourse mainly in specific niches like mBTC in gambling or Satoshis in faucets.
Well, for normal average people, for sure, I mean even for us, saying 0.00123571 BTC sounds stupid.
I don't know what use of bits, mBTC or Satoshi would change in such case. 123571 Satoshi sounds same stupid. It will be same stupid saying some random numbers in USD, like $12 821.54.
6338  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is loss of bitcoin.com a setback for Bitcoin Core? on: May 19, 2019, 08:52:03 PM
Offcourse it's a big setback and it's shame that Roger Ver owns this domain. Maybe it's not a big problem for us - experienced people as we know that Bitcoin don't have official website and CEO. I just looked at Google search result and guess what - Bitcoin.com website shown at the top and Bitcoin.org is only second. Where new people who don't know nothing about Bitcoin will go - probably to website which are shown at the top. And probably information there can confuse - what is Bitcoin, what is Bitcoin Core and etc. And we heard some cases when people bought Bitcoin Cash thinking that they are buying real Bitcoin. I'm not even talking about propaganda against Bitcoin that is published on Bitcoin.com.
What can be done to change situation. Probably nothing unfortunately...

@Cloudbet, I don't have much knowledge about most stablecoins, especially these new players in the market and their liquidity. But I have sceptical opinion about USDT - it's very shady project and I hope that you're not planning to support it on Cloudbet. It's not a crypto at all.
6340  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2016/17 on: May 19, 2019, 08:12:51 PM
So, this La Liga season is officially over. And very interesting summer is upcoming. Real Madrid is going to rebuild team. In Barcelona, probably Valverde is going to stay, arrival of Griezmann is expected, but probably there are more changes in the squad needed. Atletico also will have to find replacement for Griezmann (Dybala maybe?) and Godin. It will be interesting to watch actions of these teams in transfer market.
Real Madrid's season is end in way that it has been about all year long; Misery. Real Madrid will be ending the 2018/19 Campaign with a loss at the Santiago Bernabeu with 0 - 2 defeat at hands of Real Betis, That make the Madrid season a summary of only 21 wins, 5 draws and as much as 12 losses from 38 matches.

The result is fair reflection of how bad Real Madrid were today, having lesser possession of the ball of the two teams and managing just
two shots at goal, one in each half of the game.
All these Real Madrid losess in the last round is meaningless, but I agree that's good reflection of this season. It's season to forget for Real fans and probably they happy that it's finally over. It's interesting that after this win Betis manager was sacked because he failed to achieve Europa league.
Eibar - Barca match was fun to watch without worrying much about result. But Cillessen made very dumb mistake which cost us goal.
Now there is only Copa final left. It's Champions league final unfortunately, but it would be great to finish season with a trophy.
