imamusma seems to be making decent posts.  I don't see anything wrong with the merit distribution, or the source of imamusma's earned merits.  Although I was surprised to see TSC giving merits away in the gambling section's sports talk threads.  I didn't take him for the type.

What concerns me more is the behavior from May of 2021 when the user changed his password twice within two days, and his English got much better.  But even that isn't really a big deal to me, since the account has no trust feedback and wasn't very active before that.

Funny thing I was summoned in this thread, when I never merited such a user.

You sent 20 merits to this account back in September/October of this past year, the largest tranche was for 3 merits: https://bpip.org/smerit.aspx?to=imamusma&from=fillippone

Still a nothing burger, in my opinion.

New product coming 'soon' from coldcard

I saw that article in Bitcoin Magazine this morning also, and was pleased to see Coinkite moving in the direction of QR scanners.  The price to reserve one isn't bad either, and I notice the price of the Mk4 has gone down a little bit as well.  I reckon once the Q1 is in production the price will likely go up a bit.

I'm not sure if I want to spring for yet another hardware wallet just yet, I'm developing quite a collection as it is.  Although I do think I'll keep an eye on the development of this product like and likely will buy the second generation.

The XFL in comparison though is like being out of choice weed so you scrape the resin off the inside of a pipe you forgot about and smoke it hoping to catch any kind of buzz.

ROFLMAO, that's a pretty damn good analogy.  Remember the ProtoPipes?  They had a little resin trap to make things easy for the chronic pot-head.  Or, so I've heard...  Cool

Not just resin, but resin from schwag that's super brown with tons of seeds

Oh, the simple days of being a fledgling pot-head.  The memories...

Super depressing though knowing NFL football is almost over for quite some time  Cry

Agreed!

@NFLexperts. Should we have 2 leagues for the next season? League 1 will be opened earlier, drafted earlier and the fee will be 50% cheaper. League 2 will be our regular league similar to what we are doing already.

The XFL starts the Saturday after the super bowl, not sure about fantasy leagues for it though.

Although this tragedy deserves our attention (regardless of the ethnicity or the religion of those who suffer,) it's really off topic in the Reputation sub board.  You should move it to Off-topic because I don't have the heart to report it.

There's a link on the lower left-hand side of the page that allows you to move the thread.

PalermoMoon certainly seems to have the Humbertin vibe.  I'm generally less inclined to be convinced by a misspelling, but there is the writing style, apparently native use of the Spanish language, and this tidbit below, which he's posted several times:

Username Hello I am Humb


I'm not not sure I see enough to link TheChin0s just yet, but his behavior is rather odd and the writing style fits.  Other than him posting that address in the $50 give-away thread (then replacing it,) the only instance I could find of him posting that specific address is when he quoted MachineGam.  It's worth noting that in the $50 give-away thread he was the first to post after the OP.  Can't exactly claim he was quoting someone else, and forgot to edit the address.


As for MachineGam, his writing style seems the same, also posts in Spanish, and the address does link him to PalermoMoon.  HIs behavior also seems odd; attempting to build trust by getting loans.


None of this is really surprising, Humbertin has been farming alts for years now.
648  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Bisq trading fees / losing maker/taker fees on: February 08, 2023, 01:16:01 AM
FYI, you get a significant discount by using BSQ to pay the commission fees.
I know that but I have never checked how to get my hands on some BSQ. Can they be bought on Bisq or where is the best way to get them?

Yeah, you can buy them on bisq, not sure if they're traded elsewhere.  Under the "Buy" (or "Sell") tab, just below the green bar at the top you'll see the Bitcoin, BSQ, XMR, and Other markets.

As for what happens to your fees and open offers while your computer is off; the offer just goes off-line during that time, meaning it won't be visible to other traders.  Your funds will remain safe in your wallet, and you won't lose your offer.  When you go back on-line your offers will be visible to other traders again, and no additional fees will be charged.
That's what I wanted to know, thanks.

Yeah, Bisq is pretty straight-forward, no hidden fees or charges, and the trade fees are very reasonable.  It might take some getting used to if you accustomed to a centralized exchange, but once you get the hang of it things get easier.  


Answer to your first question: From my v1.9.9 Bisq, in Funds, down the "Send funds from wallet" form, there is a withdrawal transaction fee. The software tells me that the lowest acceptable fee is 2 sat/vb.
That's OK, I know how to adjust the withdrawal fees from Bisq to outside wallets. I was only asking about the trading fees.

The Bisq UI doesn't have much in the way of advanced features, so if you're concerned about such things as fees and coin-control within your Bisq wallet you can always use Electrum to manage your wallet in parallel.  It's not recommended because you can break offers if you accidently send a UTXO that's reserved for an open offer.  The worst that will happen is you'll lose your fees, and have to create a replacement offer.  If you want to use Electrum, note that your Bisq wallets have custom derivation paths.  Go to the "Account">"Wallet Info" tab to see them along with Xpubs for watch-only wallets.
649  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Bisq trading fees / losing maker/taker fees on: February 07, 2023, 08:05:53 PM
Based on what you are saying, the trading fees have to stay the way the app suggests and there is no way to manually increase/decrease them based on current network conditions.
Any thoughts on my second question? Do traders lose any money by taking their orders offline? Not deleting them from the order books, just taking them temporarily offline.

The transaction fees for a trade are set by the software to minimize the amount of time for a trade to complete.  They are kind of high, but I've never seen them at 20 sat/vbyte.  If I'm not mistaken they are usually at 2 to 5 sats/vbyte depending on how busy mempool is.  Are you sure you're not mistaking the Bisq commission for a transaction fee?  FYI, you get a significant discount by using BSQ to pay the commission fees.

As for what happens to your fees and open offers while your computer is off; the offer just goes off-line during that time, meaning it won't be visible to other traders.  Your funds will remain safe in your wallet, and you won't lose your offer.  When you go back on-line your offers will be visible to other traders again, and no additional fees will be charged.

More imbecilic lies?  The transaction happened 2 minutes before you logged in, so how were you able to communicate via PM?  Face it man, you came here to wage a battle of wit completely unarmed.

653  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Wasabi Coinjoins Seem Larger and More Popular on: February 06, 2023, 10:15:28 PM
I'm still curious why an institutional investment house wants to gain privacy only if the anti-privacy and anti-fungibility company approves. Like, if only there were other ways to mix coins without the clean-coins-check, right?

If it were my investment house, I would want to keep my clients' funds and transactions private just to aid in the customer's ability to remain private.  Bank transactions can remain private since all transactions are conducted centrally, and are not broadcast publicly, but that's not possible with the blockchain.

Pretty wild theories you got there Shocked

Oh, hello there, Mr. Wasabi.  How kind of you to join us, if only to mock our speculations.  Instead of your mockery, perhaps you can enlighten us as to how you managed to drum up so much business from the same demographic you aim to condemn?
654  Economy / Lending / Re: I need a 220 usd loan, please (filled) on: February 06, 2023, 06:14:36 PM
how about you give me a chance shasan and give me a loan of 500 € how about that and let me proof that a newbie can be a legit borrower  and NO scammer

How about you get a job, and stop pestering people for a loan?  You've been at this for almost a year now!

Hello would need 100-250 € loan   can give some information (bank) can make payment back in 1 month time  with intrest 5 %
can give documents ID in collateral  if needed    

contact me if intrested  

Since you haven't been able to get even €100 in the last year to cover your needs, who is going to believe that you'll pay back €500 in one month?  Nobody, that's who!  Your temper tantrums and your sense of entitlement only provide more suspicion about your intentions.  No one here is obligated to give you a loan, but you seem to think that you're entitled to one.  You're not!  Now your latest outburst is just showing what a jealous nitwit you are, because some other newbie got a loan and scammed the lender, you seem to think that you are entitled to the same.  You keep reminding everyone that you were scammed for €500, and your attitude only makes me think that you are trying to scam someone else to get your €500 back.

So once again; fuck off and get a job.
655  Economy / Services / Re: Need a paypal account. on: February 03, 2023, 07:35:23 PM
I have no phone number in the USA as well as I have no bank account in the USA and also I have no debit or credit card in the USA.

How would that work, exactly?  Let's assume I was willing to create a PayPal account for you (I'm not, but for the sake of argument,) how would you attach a bank account or a debit card to it if you don't have a US-based account?  Wouldn't I need to add a bank or credit card account of some type to verify the PayPal account?  You'll have to forgive me for not knowing how this works; I created my PayPal account maybe 20 years ago, and haven't used it much (if at all) in the last few years.

There are several reasons why I wouldn't help with this request, not the least of which is that I would be committing fraud, but the other reason is that I hate PayPal and so should you. Wink

Isn't there some alternative?  Revolut, for example?

657  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Wasabi Coinjoins Seem Larger and More Popular on: February 03, 2023, 07:00:50 PM
The large transactions make it more likely that it is institutional investors using Wasabi, and that could easily account for the larger coinjoin pools.

Maybe this was a test by their team or something to see how well a large transaction would work.  The government has come out and said that they can trace coins through traditional coin mixers if the amount is over a certain threshold.  Perhaps this is them testing if they can truly keep large transactions anonymous.  It also could just be a promotional tactic.  I've seen plenty of posts and articles about this large transaction already, which is probably the best advertising one could have for Wasabi wallet.  I think that's more likely then someone suddenly wanting to use coinjoin for such a massive transaction.  Even if they were to use coinjoin for this amount, wouldn't they still split it up to avoid being in the news? Seems contrary to what they were trying to accomplish if it were a real transaction. 

Good point, it could very well be a publicity stunt.  And you're right about the large transaction being withdrawn all at once, how is that supposed to help with privacy?  It would be the same with any mixing service; i.e. if you dump 130BTC into a mixer, then transfer 130BTC into a single wallet a few minutes, hours, days, or even weeks later anyone with any sense would assume the transactions are related.
658  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Wasabi Coinjoins Seem Larger and More Popular on: February 03, 2023, 05:48:46 PM
Although it seems surprising to those of us who are concerned about privacy and Wasabi's plan to use blockchain analysis to blacklist UTXOs, it's not surprising to see large transactions going through Wasabi's coinjoin coordinator.  The Wasabi team made it clear when they made their announcement last year that the primary reason for the decision was to attract institutional investment houses to use their coinjoin.

The large transactions make it more likely that it is institutional investors using Wasabi, and that could easily account for the larger coinjoin pools.
659  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: February 02, 2023, 03:41:11 AM
If the 49ers wanted it they could give him a one day contract and let him retire as a member of their team, the Patriots did this a few times if I am not mistaken so it is not something unheard of, and if they were allowed to release merchandise related to Brady the move alone could be worth doing from a financial standpoint.

That's been done several times by several teams, but as far as I know that's only happened for players that had played on that team previously.  Like Jerry Rice, for example; he went to the Raiders for a while, then retired as a 9er with a 1-day contract.  As for Brady, my guess is he'll retire as a Patriot.  At least, that's what I think he should do.

And about his retirement, I think it was about time, I am sure the guy still wants to play but the longer he played the greater the chances he will be unable to retire on his own terms and instead it could be due to an injury, then it is better for Brady to walk away now while he is still the one which can make the call.

Agreed, his last season will soon be forgotten and his accomplishments will remain legendary for decades to come.  He has his health intact, and he'll be fine financially.


~

Reliable reports estimate he lost $41 million in the FTX debacle.  It's also worth noting that the FOX deal is $375 million for 10 years, averaging 37.5M per year.


Agreed. However, it might depend on which job offer pays him higher. Tom Brady love to play and I reckon he would play into his 50s if his body permits this. Also playing for his team would certainly fulfill a childhood dream of his. I wish the 49ers would propose to him a 2 year contract with a tempting amount hehe.

I really don't think the 9ers would do that, nor would Brady at this point.  If he has any hope of reconciling with his wife, it'll be squandered if he signs another contract regardless of the team.

In any case, I have been hiding in embarassment from this thread because everything that I have predicted for the conference finals were wrong hehehehe. I will admit this now, Philadelphia Eagles is the best team in the NFL for this season. 49ers had bad luck, however, they would certainly have lost if Purdy was also playing. For the superbowl Eagles -2.

Haha, quit your whining, we're all wrong from time to time.  Some of us more than others.  Undecided

I still think the 9ers are a better team than the Eagles.   Kiss
