That's OK and I appreciate that. But I assume everyone would like to see that all the suggestions and corrections that people gave him in all these years weren't a waste of time. It just seems that every full moon he becomes active for a few days and asks the same questions over and over again. The "how to download Ledger Live updates" was covered several times already. Before that it was the passphrase issues, storing your seed digitally, and stuff like that.

No one (including myself) would refuse to help him with genuine problems, but it just gets a bit tedious explaining something like a software update or why his seed shouldn't be stored on Google Drive.

That would then change the whole concept and turn it into a crossword puzzle of a sort. soliton made such puzzles for the community in the past. I linked to his thread in my OP. Maybe he will eventually continue in the same way. The last post he made in his thread, he mentioned that the next puzzle will be posted shortly. I guess he hasn't gotten around to it yet. Maybe a bump from someone who likes solving puzzles would give him the incentive he needs.

The word games will continue...

You want to bet that this is not the end of it?

Here is how I see his next reply:
Thanks o_e_l_e_o. Is this how everyone else has done it? Previously I could just update Ledger Live by clicking on the update button right? Suddenly, it was no longer possible to do that, am I right? Someone said that you had to update it manually by going to the Ledger website, but I didn't do that because I was afraid of downloading malware from phishing links. Does anyone know if someone has been infected in this way? What if I download a fake update, that's possible right?

Last month I didn't have access to my Nano S, now I have access to it because I came home, but I am worried if I am doing it the right way. Are you sure that I can just click the download button? What if I click the button and my coins are gone, that can happen right?

  

Guys what's wrong with you! Why are you so good at this? I guess I'll just add empty lines for Round#4.

You guessed correctly.

All 4 are correct! I will see about adding a special local rule that restricts you from participating.

Good guess.

That's all from Round #3.
Should we continue?

He might have been looking for a wallet to store his coins and figured Electrum should do the job. I am afraid that he created a watch-only wallet since it shouldn't really be that complicated to select an UTXO from the coins tab, or just go to the send tab, enter the address, amount, fee, and proceed from there.

Regardless, OP hasn't written anything for 9 days. He was on the forum 4 days ago probably checking this thread, but he didn't say anything. He either figured out what to do or he came to terms with the fact that he lost his coins.

Hopefully he entered in into the offline version downloaded from the right place. But OP is using Coinomi - a closed-source hot wallet that was caught sending seed phrases to Google servers to check the validity of them. Coinomi being a hot wallet is bad enough, the way they are/were handling user data is even worse. No matter which of the two he did, he should seriously consider using a better client. 

Here are the terms for Round #3.
I think this one should be a bit more tricky to guess. Members of all ranks can participate straight away!

Enjoy!

I have decided to forgive you!

It's a neat security feature for sure and I am glad they have it. With a Ledger, you have a right or left button that you click to increase or decrease the displayed number on the screen. For each character, the first displayed number is a random one. It can be a 0 or a 4, or anything else. If it was always the same starting number, you would have the same problem of making it easier for someone to determine your PIN based on how many times you click the buttons.

I still think that too many attempts are given to enter the correct PIN. Even with such a long waiting time in between PIN entries, I would prefer not having more than 5 unsuccessful attempts before the device resets itself.

It's in the range of a Nano S in terms of price. Seems OK to me for a hardware wallet for Bitcoin only since I don't have much use for liquid assets.
If you haven't seen this video, it's a very good review of the device. A bit too long maybe.

I did a quick check on reddit to see if there were any complaints about the Jade wallet, but I couldn't find anything worth mentioning. 
dkbit98 is good in that sort of thing (or maybe he only likes doing it to Ledger). Let's see if he can find any dirt on them.

It's MoneyGram and Western Union, not "money gramme" and "Wester Union."

I agree. Although, those days were gone already when fiat-based online casinos and sportsbooks became popular. Crypto platforms only took it up a notch.

Crypto casinos still have restrictions for certain countries, so it's still limited. Not only that, but gaming providers present their own kind of restrictions on who can play their games and who can't. If you are from the USA, UK, North Korea, Iraq, Syria, and several other countries, you would know what I am talking about.

The rich stay away from gambling (unless they are addicted). Your average gambler is not rich, far from it. He is a guy with a family and a bag of problems looking to solve most of them by gambling. Most of the time he ends up creating even more.

It's not only for newbies. My first two rounds were for all ranks, but Newbies - Members were given a head start of one day. From Round #3 everyone will be allowed to guess from the get-go.

nakamura12's words are also meant for users ranked Newbie to Member as was stated in his post.

LoyceV didn't mention any restrictions whatsoever.

I didn't even think about the fact that Ledger has its own swap service through a partnership with Changelly. Not that it's that important right now, but OP should know that swapping assets through Ledger's in-built exchange service will be done with a less favorable exchange rate than if he did it directly through Changelly or a similar platform. Not that I am promoting those instant exchange services. Ledger takes a cut from each exchange, so if he believes his 1.5 BTC is worth 21 ETH, he will surely get less doing it through the in-built exchange.     

You leave the thread for one second and it gets hijacked by nakamura12 and LoyceV.
Suits me right for not starting Round #3 on time.

Once the word games by nakamura12 and LoyceV are solved, I will post the terms for Round #3 (tomorrow or the day after tomorrow). They are already ready.  

Correct. Coinbase knows your identity because you underwent KYC with them. They will also know from where you deposited your fiat, the address your BTC was sent to on Coinbase, and the withdrawal address you withdrew your coins to.

If you send the coins from Coinbase to the same address where you already have 2 BTC, you will be connecting those two UTXOs. Anyone can see that an address that previously held 2 BTC has now received another deposit of 1 BTC. If you send the 1 BTC to a new address generated on Ledger, Coinbase won't know that you have 2 BTC on a different one.

Since you sent coins from different UTXOs and you were able to sign that transaction, that's proof that the coins in both those addresses belong to you. Coinbase and the public can check that the 1 BTC that was initially withdrawn from Coinbase was combined with another UTXO. Therefore, both belong to you. Additionally, if the transaction was sent to another centralized exchange, blockchain analysis could potentially discover which exchange that is, based on consolidated transactions to one or more of their wallets. Since most CEXs require KYC, government agencies could request the name of the account holder.  

The trail can still be followed to your MetaMask address, but unless that address has been connected to a service that required KYC, it's impossible to tell if it belongs to you. You could have used those coins to purchase some goods or services and it belongs to the merchant. I am not sure how the MetaMask DEXs work, so I can't comment on what happens next. I would assume that it's still public information and that you check the blockchain that someone exchanged 21 ETH for wBNB and those wBNB tokens were sent back to the same address from where the ETH originated from.

I don't know, but I don't think so.

Same as above. Unlikely.

I don't know how those liquidity providers function but they are all part of decentralized finance. You won't be asked for identifiable information according to what I have read and heard.  

When it comes to Bitcoin, Binance consolidates their funds in various hot and cold wallets. That's how blockchain analysis can determine that an address belongs to Binance. I would assume that the same thing happens with BNB.  

Too many things have happened in between for anyone to make that connection. I am not an expert in these matters, but I don't think such a connection could be made.

It depends on the person I guess. if you are watching the match on a multishared IPTV server, the delay could be anywhere from 40 seconds to over a minute if the provider is a very bad one. Compared to that, 10 seconds is nothing. But if you have a regular TV channel that is several seconds faster than the bet365 stream, and many are, a 10 seconds delay is huge.

That will never work. Sportsbooks have foreseen such possibilities. There is a delay with the acceptance of livebets of 6-8 seconds. That's because the system is checking if anything happened in the match that affects the markets and odds. If something is detected, your bet will get rejected.

"Good things come to those who wait!"
I have been a bit busy these last two days and haven't had much time to focus on the new words. I will probably get around to it during the weekend or on Monday at latest.

Good idea. The new round could be about guessing which words I am thinking of.

Many probably don't care. Especially those managing scam/fake projects, and those who don't plan to pay their bounty members anyways.

Anyone active in the Croatian local board has seen the low quality "translational work" by our leading bounty translator. All you have to do is go here, and you will see which lad has opened most of the threads if you are wondering who I am talking about. Despite his negative ratings, that never stopped bounty managers employing him as their CRO translator. He recently got banned for another issue, so he has stopped.   

Per week? Try per month. That source you linked to shows the average income per month. The people living in the bottom ten African countries on the list earn from $38 - $92/month. Getting into a campaign like this crappy one is like winning the lottery for them.

Unfortunately nothing can be done besides tagging the participants. And they don't care. I doubt theymos will interfere unless the campaign goes on a spamming spree. By the looks ok if, that won't be the case.

If what you are saying is true, it would help if you share the proof that you have gathered in this thread or another that you open. Players on Bitcointalk should know if their games on that platform are being rigged in any way. 

You should know that some casinos and sportsbooks have rules against multiple accounts from the same household and IP address. You and your fiancée surely live together - that's one household. It might be worth paying attention to that sort of thing and check out what is written in a casino's FAQ or ToS. Don't give any of them a reason to close your account.     

Again, why have you not opened a scam accusation against them?

Is this the reason why you haven't created a scam accusation on Bitcointalk? When you create your website, I think you should at least share your findings with our community. 

This is true. I have noticed that for some matches we are only allowed to place one live bet for that event. If you try to place another live bet, the system won't accept it. For other events, there are no such restrictions.
