Not an international update: But Florida was one of the states (in the US) that was resisting issuing an executive order regarding the coronavirus. Seems like they've finally caved and have issued a stay at home order for people, pretty much telling people only to travel for ESSENTIAL items and for only ESSENTIAL businesses to stay open. I know prior to this a large deal of golf courses in Florida were still open, and people were still going, this is literally when a state like NY is reporting tons of new cases daily.

If anyone wants to read further: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/04/01/coronavirus-florida-desantis/

Thank you. Any and all updates are welcome, it is important to try and understand what is going on around the world with issues related to coronavirus.

It does seem from the layout of certain things related to the website that the same scammers are operating this too.

Having said that was there ever concrete evidence of maticbit.com being operated by the p2pb2b/coinsbit/whitebit/extrates scammers?


They are back, this time it's maticBIT (maticbit.com).

Same MO, Discord promo codes, you enter the code and you get BTC "credited", then you have to deposit 0.05BTC to withdraw.

The DASH website would provide you with all you need to know. Lots of information is there.

https://www.dash.org/


Can anyone give me a short sum up on Dash? What are the next releases? (big or small) Is there anywhere a roadmap for the upcoming months or years? Is there anything like a DashWiki? I really would like to know more about dash, because i wasn´t here for a while and now i´m back to cryptcurrencies. I really hope someone can give me more informations. I think this would also be a help for many other users and new people, which are coming to this thread.

Has there been a spike in the number of bets being placed since the coronavirus outbreak? How has it affected the number of users signing up and the number of bets being placed at Bustabit?

It's in the nature of casinos that some players will lose and some will win. Junya5805 won more than 100 BTC just this month, for example. You can see more examples of players that have won at bustabit on the leaderboard at https://www.bustabit.com/leaderboard.

So I can tell you how I'm copig with it. I used to work a lot from home even before the virus so it doesn't really impact my mental health. I'm not afraid of being sick, I'm not that old and very healthy. I think I can make it even if I get infected. I try to maintain a food supply for at least a week, which means that I have a 2 week food supply and when I'm down to 1 week, i go to the store. There are no limits in the stores near me, this means that if you want to buy 10kg of flour or sugar, or 20 rolls of TP, you are free to do so.
You seem to be in a very good position and situation compared to many of us that feeling the effects of the lockdowns in our towns and cities.


The only thing that bothers me is that all entertainment got shut down. Pubs, restaurants, cinemas... I used to eat out once a week with my wife but now it's over, but then we can barbecue in the garden so for now it's enough.
Surely that is just a small price to pay if it helps in fighting against the spreading of the virus and ultimately saves lives.


If you can't do withot people and are used to crowded spaces, it may be hard for you.
It could well be a blessing for those that suffer from agoraphobia. I am sure there are those that are suffering from withdrawal symptoms because they need open spaces and need groups of people or crowds of people so I am unsure how they will cope. As for those that feel at home and comfortable under lockdown it could provide much needed relief.

No two people are the same, I hope there will not be a long list of patients waiting to receive treatment for psychological trauma either related to the death of their family members, friends and neighbours or because of being cooped for prolonged periods.


I think that parents will have a mental fortitude enough for them to endure the mental ordeal of this pandemic, they may not be mentally affected but in the end they will learn their lesson to be frugal with their expenses.


Well they will become malnourished and since the child's mind is a blank slate, this would surely leave a mark to their mental health, but it is up to their parents on how they will help their child cope with the problem.
I cannot all parents walking away from this unscathed. Many will struggle under the pressure of taking care of kids and prolonged periods of sharing small spaces of residence with each other especially those already living impoverished lives and those who are from underprivileged backgrounds.

As for children it is inconceivable to think many of them will not be affected by this. Many will have their mental and physical well-being affected. Depending on the so-called social status they fit in to they could end up with symptoms ranging from malnutrition to obesity.

How many health services in countries around the world are prepared for the aftermath for when the lockdown rules will be relaxed?

Yeah that is what I am telling, I'm not really here to argue about the project and shilling that is happening in that thread because it is pretty evident. I'm just telling at the OP that there is a possibility that they are using a bumping service rather than have created sock-puppet accounts on their own since the ones questioning and doing some shill are accounts older than MarketPeak so it only tells us that these accounts are maybe coming from a bumping service.
I already mentioned they could be using shills for hire such as via Vitor Services.

To be fair I could have been a bit clearer but the point is the same, the sock-puppets could be controlled by them or by a firm they employ such as Vitor Services  - the point being sock-puppets are pumping the thread.

This thread is purely about them using sock-puppets and paid shills with the same sort of nonsensical attempts at creating fake buzz associated with the Vitor Services for hire shills.

The US government is now going to hold back aid to the Afghan government for failing to have a more inclusive government but their announcement coincides with the fact they Afghan government and the Taliban are having issues. Maybe it is a way for them to pressure the Afghan government to get a move on in the quest for peace and stabilisation but the timing of the US announcement does raise questions.

In economic terms it is a disaster all round for countries all over the world but it cannot equate to lives being lost, the real horror is looking at how all countries are trying to stop the spreading of the coronavirus including the so-called developed and first world countries.

I saw the news that if casinos in US do not open within 8 weeks, the budget will lose 21 billion profits. And this is only America and only gambling. If you take the full impact of coronavirus on the global economy, you can be horrified.

Very hard to argue with that view, leaving negative trust at least might have some impact on the scam attempts by impersonators who use Telegram or other tools to try to steal from people. The user that tried to impersonate as BPIP obviously had ulterior motives so I am glad he has been heavily tagged in red trust.

So many scams comes from impersonating the administrators of projects, and the telegram channels are full of people imitating the developers of a certain to scam newbies, he has a bad intentional from the start by creating a brand that he is not part of it, it's good that he has a negative so people will know and be warn.

There is no real mention in the media during the days of coronavirus isolation regarding how the governmental health services will cope with those in need of help because of the mental effects left behind on victims after the whole epidemic is over and normal day-to-day life returns.

One of the things we are being told is to shop as infrequently as possible but items are limited to say two identical items then it means frequent trips will be necessary thus defeats the object. This contradicts the whole situation and adds to the confusion. Why does a parent have limit their shopping trolley to just one loaf of bread and one carton of milk when they could be for a family five or six people but a single person living on their own is entitled to the same quantity.

What effect will this have on the long term mental well-being of a parent when watching children not being fed properly?

What effect will this have on the long term mental and physical well-being of a child when not being fed properly?

I have no idea why toilet roll ended up being transitioned in to the bracket of essential goods (such as rightful essential goods one the lines of medicine, milk, bread and so on) but there are people all over the world having to deal with a new and unwanted situation they have never seen before. Going to the supermarket to find shelves empty is going to have some sort of effect on those that are desperate to feed very small children but find themselves in a very precarious situation.

How can one compare the mental effects of say a 80+ year old widow/widower living a solitary life in Madrid in a one bedroom apartment completely reliant on outside help from social services for everything from food deliveries to help with bathing versus a single parent family living in a 5th floor apartment in Venice with three children under the age of six?

All scenarios have the potential to cause their own mental impact to those affected by the need to self-isolate but each person will handle the effects of associated mental pressures in their own ways. I hope all governmental agencies around the world will be prepared for what will follow in their social care and mental care departments after the self-isolation period comes to an end.
7396  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Toilet paper hoarding on: March 28, 2020, 10:06:18 PM
That is the one I just do not understand because even though things like rice, pasta, tins of various foods, biscuits, cereal and hand sanitisers might be considered essentials in times of panic-buying - just exactly how did toilet paper (toilet roll) achieve such high demand?

Boy, I didn't realize that toilet paper is such a coveted item. Tried to order some this weekend with my grocery store delivery, no dice. Waited to get some today, store shelf empty. Called one store, nope. Called another store, got lucky. However, I only bought one package of 12. The clerk asked me if I wanted more. I hope that I didn't make a crucial error. Although, I am sure cloth rags and frequent showers will work. Or is running water going to be in short supply soon, too? How long, exactly, are people expecting to be holed up? We only have like 33 presumptive cases in the state that I am in at the moment, and I live in a rather large state.(area wise)

I never understood the concept of name squatting to be anything other than for those responsible for doing it to either make mischief or for them to be looking for a way to make money by selling those squatted names to people they could associate with. Why else would people do it?


actually he is part of our team in the future, you all should know and not cover your own face.
don't corner him, even some of you have been part of us before.

What is it, a team of squatters? Please come up with your own name(s) for your team and/or its members. I'm guessing this account is not affiliated with Facebook either.

The Guardian: "The Taliban refused to begin talks with the Afghan government’s new negotiating team on Saturday, in a setback to the US-brokered peace process for one of the world’s longest-running conflicts"

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/28/taliban-refuses-to-talk-to-afghan-governments-negotiating-team


I hope that the situation there can be resolved because things have been extremely bad there for decades and keeping in mind the current coronavirus issues it would be better for all parties to get around the negotiating table to conclude a deal that leads to a lasting peace.
