The release date is finally confirmed in the latest teaser! The final season will start on April 14. That is only 3 months from now.

I feel sad this will end this year. Sad


I wonder how many others got the chill when they saw the ice coming, I definitely felt it and if this is the teaser I can’t wait for the show to begin. I also believe the feather which was first seen in season one, and season five has significant relevance to Jon’s parentage, and normally when we saw thes faces on these statues, those people die so does it mean three of my favourite characters already dead. I would not feel sad cause I’m feeling super excited for this premier, and once this ends I can’t wait for the spinoff and I’m sure you’ll be the one creating an odds thread for that too.

Jon Snow will not die, again hehehe. He is the favorite to rule after the series ends. Similar to the Miss Universe type of betting, the oddsmakers are savvy enough to have an almost correct prediction of the outcome.

@swogerino. Are you religious? hehehe

or better yet, just don't pirate material. go to safe streaming sites if you want to keep malware away from your device.

Nothing beats free however hehehe. There are also no safe streaming sites except the paid sites similar to Netflix.

In any case, you might have missed what bittorrent mainly is. It is a peer to peer file sharing network for anything. Its use for good must be encouraged.
7263  Economy / Speculation / Re: The American doomsday by Tom Lee on: January 16, 2019, 02:14:54 AM
I cannot give any plausible reason except that I am using Tom Lee's prediction on the S&P as a counter indicator basing it on his failed predictions on bitcoin last year. I also started the thread as another joke on Tom Lee hehehe.

Also, giving it more thought, stock market crashes have always caused investors to hold safer investments like gold and bonds. I am not certain if this will change and make all of them invest in bitcoin, however there are big investors who understand the technology enough to be confident on its potential. Those big investors might also be the reason why the ETF is a possibility.

Are we talking about a stock market correction or a larger economic crash? I don't think it's possible to see a real crash in stocks (like 1929) without triggering a severe recession or depression. So it's an important question to keep in mind.

In an economic crash, all markets will generally suffer. Just look at 2008. Gold fell hard like everything else. It just didn't fall quite as hard as stocks.

I was talking about the larger economic crashes that might last for 5 or more years. Also, it does not have to be only in America, there are other countries like Venezuela or Zimbabwe that have there economies agonizing or have agonized from hyperinflation. Holding bitcoin in these countries is a reasonable solution, I reckon, which also might make it a better investment outside of those countries.
7264  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Manny Pacquaio vs. Adrien Broner on: January 15, 2019, 03:09:54 AM
Continuing on the link Kemarit shared, Pacquiao, Mayweather come face to face at Clippers game. Read the comments about the news.

https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=803493

The posters there are into boxing more than the average fan, I reckon. But a greater part of their comments do not want Floyd versus Manny 2.

Does that imply that such an event is not ready?



Not everything are published in the internet, those are inside talks that we do not know and with a big money involve, I doubt both parties are not interested to make this fight happen again. I'm pretty sure that there will be a Pacquaio vs Mayweather 2 and it's going to be realize soon, most likely this year and I have already thought of putting my money on Pacquaio despite the fact that he is an underdog for this fight.
We all know that Pacquiao is deserving to have a rematch against Floyd Mayweather the only problem is Mayweather isn't done hyping it up so there's that big money coming in, his fight against Tenshin Nasukawa didn't really add up to his fame anymore and the only thing makes him happy is the money behind it. The rematch may not be a reality anymore as I have seen news that Mikey Garcia is showing an interest against fighting Pacman himself and this will also be an interesting match to see if this happens.

I disagree, we do not know that. This is the fight where we can estimate if Manny is indeed deserving for a money fight against Floyd Mayweather. Floyd is undefeated, he is also considered to be greatest pound for pound boxer. He makes the decisions, not Manny. Manny does not deserve anything from Floyd unless he defeats Adrien Broner unanimously.

7266  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Fake movie file infects Windows and steals or tricks bitcoin users on: January 15, 2019, 02:13:44 AM
Everyone who likes downloading their movies from torrent websites should be very careful. The article mentions Windows users, however, I reckon everyone should be careful.

Also, stop using your personal computer for cryptocoins to download movies or tv series for crying out loud.



A malicious Windows shortcut file posing as a movie via The Pirate Bay torrent tracker can trigger a chain of mischievous activities on your computer, like injecting content from the attacker into high-profile web sites such as Wikipedia, Google and Yandex Search or by stealing cryptocurrency.

If the victim goes to Wikipedia, the malware's injection mechanism inserts a fake donation banner that states Wikipedia now accepts cryptocurrency donations and provides two cryptocurrency addresses to send "donate" to.

One wallet is for Bitcoin and at the time of writing had $70 worth of cryptocurrency. The other is for Ethereum and had a balance of almost ETH 4.6, or about $600.

A third bitcoin wallet address was found in the scripts downloaded by the malware, with a balance of $13. This does not appear to be included in the Wikipedia donation scam.

All three wallets are part of another malicious task, meant to replace a Bitcoin and Ethereum addresses found on web pages. This tactic does not show any sign that could alert the user of the trick. Because the wallets are a large string of random characters, most users will likely not notice the difference between what they expected to copy and the pasted result.

I cannot stop laughing.

I reckon a major crash on the S&P might be good for bitcoin however. It might make institutions look for alternative investments that might also rush bitcoin ETF applications to quick approval

Can you give even a single plausible reason why it might?

Truth be told, I hope you turn out to be right (if it comes to that), but if your train of thought is anywhere close to what I think it is, then there's a lot of ifs and buts in respect to your reasoning. Basically, you may think that if the American stock market continues to spiral down in ever widening circles, with the economy stagnating in recession, people will be looking for safe havens (the point with which I agree) and one such safe haven will be Bitcoin (the point which I doubt). So what are your convincing reasons as to why that might be true indeed?

I cannot give any plausible reason except that I am using Tom Lee's prediction on the S&P as a counter indicator basing it on his failed predictions on bitcoin last year. I also started the thread as another joke on Tom Lee hehehe.

Also, giving it more thought, stock market crashes have always caused investors to hold safer investments like gold and bonds.

What are the latest updates on this news?

In any case, Kakmakr, I reckon it would be the exchanges which might classify Monero as a crime coin and that some of them might take extreme measures to delist it, by order of the government or to avoid any pressure from the government.

It is not impossible, the Japanese government had already done this on exchanges in their country.

Wall Street Strategist Tom Lee Predicts S&P Rally in 2019

7273  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-01-09] Wife of Norway Millionaire kidnapped, Monero random wanted on: January 14, 2019, 01:15:13 AM
I am just glad that these people are not demanding Bitcoin again, because the shill press has a field day with these kinds of articles in the media. I can understand why they are using a more anonymous version of Crypto currencies for this and I have also seen some of the nonsense people are selling on the Darkweb with Monero as payment.

Monero can officially be classed as a CrimeCoin.   Tongue

Classed by who? I reckon that would be a mistake. Can Chipmixer officially be classed as a crime service? The answer is no.

Also, the US dollar and the Euro are the most used currencies by criminals. They should officially class them as criminal currencies first hehehe.

@everyone. This thread is not about jeremypwr. This is about the blackmailer who might be an alt account of someone else in the forum and who might also blackmail you.

jeremypwr is one of the best campaign managers in the forum. This does not change that and I do not take my removal personally or any of my future removals by any other campaign managers personally. It was only a signature campaign.

@TryNinja. Agreed. However he might also want a hero slot in sportsbet.io campaign. I am not certain, however I reckon it was full at the time when I was blackmailed.
7277  Economy / Reputation / Re: I was blackmailed on: January 13, 2019, 02:20:21 AM
So, you got removed from the campaign just because you called the manager "a little child" more than 10 months ago? Damn, that's what I call a top-notch manager.

Edit: Yo DarkStar, why did you merit me? You little baby Angry

It was nothing personal for me. This thread is about the blackmailer who might also be someone else in the forum.
7278  Economy / Reputation / I was blackmailed on: January 13, 2019, 02:07:24 AM
A brand new account messaged me and demanded that I should pay him .04 or he will tell my campaign manager something and I will be removed from the campaign. He also said please hehehe.

If you want to stay in the campaign of sportsbet, then please send me 0.04 to this address
138PbvqbXuGvm7zS9GcVsSPa9QfiGfKpMZ


If not then I will tell the manager and you will be out



I did not respond because I knew I did not do anything wrong. However maybe he thought that .04 was not enough to party because he increased his demand and sent me another message.

If you want to stay in the campaign of sportsbet, then please send me 0.04 to this address
138PbvqbXuGvm7zS9GcVsSPa9QfiGfKpMZ

If not then I will tell the manager and you will be out



Now I am requesting .05 to not report you to jeremypwr.  

By this time I looked at my post history but I cannot find anything wrong. I messaged jeremypwr to tell him someone was blackmailing me. He replied by saying that I should not pay the blackmailer. The word baby was also mentioned.

Hopefully you don’t pay him.  
He did however post a link to you referring to me as a “baby.”


2 hours later I received another message and I was informed to be removed from the campaign.

Here is your comment he was referring to, which he also sent me this link:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3133481.msg33564432#msg33564432

So do you think I'm really a little child?

I told jeremypwr sorry and left it up to him if he wanted to accept me again or not, which was ok for me whatever the decision was. He is still one of the best managers in the forum and this does not change anything.

I decided to keep quiet about it afterwards. I did not take anything personally, I also did not mind being removed from the campaign and I continued posting in the forum as normal. However, I received a taunting message from the blackmailer.

Whats happened?    
you are not in campaign anymore



I laughed and I decided to make this thread to expose him because Lordbrown might be an alt account of someone in the forum who might not stop blackmailing me or the rest of you.
7279  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [AEON] Aeon Speculation on: January 13, 2019, 01:23:16 AM
Also, volume was only a total of $250 from all 3 exchanges added together. That would never make Aeon a good investment.

I see $5000 24h volume on coinmarketcap. What you are looking at?

Hello smooth, I saw it last weekend, also on coinmarketcap. But when I looked again January 6 ended with $1300 of volume. Maybe I looked early in the beginning of that day hehehe.

In any case our volume is still very small and something that I wish we as a community can fix.

@Febo. Agreed, however it also appears that no whales are buying.
7280  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-01-09] Wife of Norway Millionaire kidnapped, Monero random wanted on: January 13, 2019, 01:09:37 AM
@nutildah. Agreed. However, this also advertises Monero's technical superiority over the other cryptocoins in privacy and untraceability and that it is the better choice for criminals in where to hide their wealth than bitcoin.

Monero isn't complete anonymous though, that's been known for some time. There's no doubt in my mind the kidnappers will eventually be caught. I've been around since Monero's beginnings -- it was always propelled by slimebags whose goal was to make a slimebaggy coin to be used by other slimebags. If at least 1 in 4 XMR transactions are used for illegal purposes you can bet authorities will be paying extra special attention to those who buy and use it.

https://medium.com/cryptics/monero-not-anonymous-at-all-113c3a14c816

That article is unconvincing and has not demonstrated 1 example on how to trace transactions in Monero. However if this is true then this might become Monero's big test hehehe.

In any case, the kidnappers of 5Dimes owner were arrested after police in Costa Rica linked a bitcoin address with an ip address.



Costa Rican authorities are hoping the arrest of 12 people allegedly involved in the September kidnapping of the owner of an internet sports betting site will lead to the missing U.S. citizen.

Director of Costa Rica's Judicial Investigation Body Walter Espinoza said Friday that the arrests were made in Costa Rica and Spain.

Sean William Creighton had lived in Costa Rica for several years before he was kidnapped Sept. 24 near San Jose. Espinoza says the kidnappers used a rented pickup and worked with a pair of transit police officers to abduct Creighton.

Espinoza says Creighton's family paid a nearly $1 million ransom via the electronic currency Bitcoin. Investigators were able to link access to an electronic wallet to a computer address in Costa Rica.
