Is it possible to request username and account number to be changed?

I have an account from 2011 that unfortunately has a reused username and links to my address that can be traced to my holdings today.

I want to keep the account as it is so old but am hoping I can get the username and account number changed.

It cannot just be a username change as there are lists of username linked to account number out there:



Have you messaged Theymos before creating this thread or are you planning to message him now, some SMF based forum can change their username but here in Bitcointalk only the administrator can do that so it now depends on your explanation, on how risky if its for you if they trace your holdings to your account here.

What are the actions that you've done to detach your account to your address here, it should be something compelling for Theymos to grant your request.
Hopefully he'll grant your request.
744  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who is the money manager? is it a casino or game provider? on: January 11, 2024, 12:12:02 PM
Game providers provide games for casinos that's their only work and they are paid based on their agreement, which is a profit-sharing business, it's the casino that accumulates, distributes, and pays gamblers for their winnings so they are responsible for every monetary obligation so they are the one and should be managing the money coming from the platform, and casinos also pick their games providers.
Games providers make money from profit sharing, and from selling their software, it's a cooperation that benefits both parties, but casinos are the ones who make a lot of money from the operation.
Game providers make it easy for casinos to operate as casinos they only need to promote and address the concerns of the players while the game providers only need to check that their software is running smoothly.
745  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think women will make better gamblers by their nature? on: January 11, 2024, 10:50:18 AM
Women by nature are more conservative than men. They are better manager of resources and know how to prioritise things. This is what is needed for successful gambling because with it, the chances of using funds meant for basic needs in gambling will be minimised.

So do you think women will make better gamblers than men?

If what you mean is being a responsible gambler it looks like they are, there is a study that proves that women do not easily fall into addiction compared to men they tend to be more responsible for all their actions.
But when it comes to profitability I don't think women have the edge over men it's still a game of luck and no gender has an edge when it comes to making a profit from gambling but men are generally risk takers so they have a chance to win big but they can also lose a lot of money.
Whatever gender of the player is, the house edge of the casino will beat them, so it's not about the profit but more about being a responsible gambler is the only edge of women over men.
746  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Woes of gambling on: January 10, 2024, 11:14:13 PM
... if you ask me gambling is a fraud that has been used to trick people into believing that their choices matter it does not everyone that gambles is just there to make money for the casino unfortunately there is nothing that can be done about human nature 💔💔💔

It's not fraud its just how gambling works, gambling platforms are profit based platform they have an edge over all the players that's playing but that does not mean that no one wins in their platform, its just that there are more losers than winners.
A casino cannot be competitive if their data shows no one wins in their platform, people will verify every bets and see if they are accurate.
You are not supposed to make gambling in casinos as a day job, its an entertainment platform with a chance to make money while enjoying the game, the word here is chance not make.
So its better to forget about your projected winning and just enjoy the game, and if you're lucky you'll win the jackpot, luck and winnings comes when you least expect it, so enjoy and let winnings comes it will come when it will come.
747  Other / Off-topic / Re: Who does gambling addiction affect the most? on: January 10, 2024, 03:52:24 PM

So I want to ask, between the gambling addict and his immediate family, who does the addiction affect the most?
Whether its the head or any member of the family is addicted to gambling, the whole family suffers, gambling addiction is a very risky addiction, because the person will neglect his family, his work and all his focus and interest are on gambling only and he will fail to develop a good relationship with his loved ones.
and it will put the reputation of the family in the bad light.
So if one member of a family is addicted to gambling, the whole family should worked on to save that one member of the family, because the downfall of one the familt is the downfall of the whole family.
So we can say that both can be affected and both should be saved from gambling addiction.
748  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does it looks responsible as woman telling husband you gamble? on: January 10, 2024, 03:15:44 PM


Does this worth telling him or not please i need you collective ideas.

In the first place, you should not hide anything from your husband, by not telling him it just means that you do not trust your husband will understand you, and besides, there's a possibility that you will get hooked on gambling, and the budget of the family will be at risk and your husband will be suspicious on where the money is going.
You should tell your husband right away the more that you're hiding the more that you're putting your marriage at risk, if you're husband sees that you are playing just for fun and to fight boredom in the house and the money being used is allocated, I'm sure he will understand, you should be honest with your husband.
Dishonesty is one of the causes of broken marriages so to stop this be honest with your husband.

If I have one I will sell it so I can money out of that strategy or I'll keep it and just get richer gambling my whole life, but I'm also looking for long-term profitable strategies because it could only mean that I can make gambling a full-time job.

We have to be realistic in our approach to gambling, there is no such thing, we could look for a strategy but we will never find one, there are so many sales pitches on social media and YouTube but these are all lies, the bottom line is there is none.

I don't want to blame gambling platforms, but some of them circulate fake news that gamblers will believe in so they can continue gambling because the more time gamblers will spend on casinos looking for strategies the more money that will come in in their platform.

750  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: January 10, 2024, 08:07:14 AM
There was a friend of mine who visited me a day after and he was saying gambling every day draws you more closer to winning.

I asked him how?

He said when you keep trying luck every day you stand the chance not to miss your luck of winning, he also made reference to few people around our locality who won outrageous Money within 31 Dec to 1 January 2024, asking if I knew how often those people keep trying for them to have the winning they got.

My question is do you think gambling every day is better? From his reasoning and points of narrations.

He is just speculating it's not a fact, some players keep on playing but have no luck in winning and some just played or were just introduced to gambling and won right away.

What's a fact is gambling is, it is a game of luck and your chances do not depend on how long you've been playing or whether you do not skip from playing, It is hard in your pocket if you have a limited source of income, and casino will be happy if you have that mindset because it means more money coming in.

You could gamble every day as long as you like as long as you can keep up, you'll feel good whether you lose or win.
I have seen people with this reasoning saying this to justify their betting, they want their loved ones to believe that they are doing this for their sake because they will hit the jackpot if they continue playing.

751  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou - March 9 on: January 09, 2024, 02:29:58 PM
I looked at how much fighters get for a fight, and Joshua will receive about €50 million, and Ngannou about €20 million.

Why is there such a big difference, is it because Ngannou is not such an important fighter in the boxing world? Well, it seems that his decision to break his contract with the UFC was the right decision and now he will earn a lot of money for these two fights.

But it would be cool if Ngannou could beat Joshua. Ngannou is considered the underdog in this fight, but it seems to me that he is a very strong fighter and has enough talent (he showed this in the fight with Fury) to defeat Joshua.

Ngannou will not get that kind of figure if he is still in the UFC, that's more than all the combined fights of all the fights of Ngannou in UFC, he is setting a trend for MMA fighters to venture to boxing where there is a lot of money to be made, Ngannou use the UFC to start his career but its on boxing where he will establish his legacy and will make a lot of money.

He has a good chance against Joshua if only he can take good trainers, Joshua has a better skill than Joshua but his power and how he takes big punches are questionable, if Ngannou can land punches Joshua will be in trouble, if Fury had hard time with Ngannou, Joshua will have to the fight seriously, it's a big humiliation losing a fight to a guy who only had two fights.

Theoretically speaking if you could predict the algorithm in an online casino wouldn't you be able to predict the game and win a lot let's just say you had access to the algorithm and you were able to replicate it you would practically be able to win all the games

You will be the luckiest gambler if you can have access to the algorithm of the casino so you can manipulate and win all the games, but it's the easiest way to get your account flagged, there's no such thing as winning all the games, casinos will eventually catch you because a casino's script has a security system that can monitor, check your account for manipulation, you cannot undermine the casino's security, its better to have one huge bet than trying to win in all the games.

The casinos are profit-driven companies they are not here to lose to gamblers, for 5 gamblers that play only 1 will win and most of the time it's the gamblers that bet low are the ones who are favored to win, so even if you know all the algorithm of a casino, you have to be wise to use so you will not get caught.
753  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Answer this Gambling Question on Duration of Joy after a win or loss on: January 08, 2024, 03:32:36 PM
No one enjoys losing in gambling.Losing brings our hopes down, it ushers in emotional pain and grumpiness whereas, winning elevates our mood, bringing happiness and excitement. There are games where I have won and after withdrawing my winnings, I am so happy that I give gifted some of it to people around me. This doesn't last for long once the it is out of my hand and minds. I am curious, how long does this joy last after a win or a loss—does it linger until your next bet, lasting the whole day, just 20 minutes, or perhaps 2 hours?


It varies from person to person and depends on the winning amount, if the amount is huge and life-changing, it will last as long as you have that money and you are not spending it all or gambling it away, if it is a small amount of money it last for 3 to a week, in my case my largest win last for two weeks and I have not played for two weeks until all my winnings are spent.
The shortest one, was a day when I won $50 I went to the nearest coffee shop here in our place and treated my friends.
When you win money you have to treat yourself and allocate a small portion to your bankroll do not gamble for more winnings, treat yourself and enjoy your winnings, its worth it than using it to gamble.
754  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Beterbiev Vs Smith January 13 SATURDAY IBF / WBC / WBO LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT Title on: January 08, 2024, 02:37:51 PM
I do agree but it's boxing politics that really prevented us seeing big names like Bivol vs Beterbiev. Callum Smith might be a decent fighter, but he could still be the next victim of Beterbiev's power. But in any case, if this is a cherry pick fight, then so be it. However, if he wins here, I do hope that Top Rank will have to schedule their man Beterbiev vs Bivol.

There's no way that they can avoid each other, they are the only 2 champions in this division. And with the way fighters are reaching in this generation, they are going at a unification like Inoue, Crawford and Canelo at 168 lbs.

It's not just boxing politics but also global politics. The WBC banned Russian athletes from competing for their title. They have stated that Bivol is not eligible to fight for their belt, although for some reason Beterbiev is still allowed. Other sanctioning organizations have implemented a similarly stupid rule. https://www.badlefthook.com/2022/3/1/22956803/wbc-wbo-ibf-refuse-certify-title-fights-russian-belarusian-fighters-boxing-news-2022

Now that Saudia Arabia seems willing to offer a lot of money to make it happen, perhaps the organizations will do what's best for the sport even if they do it for entirely selfish reasons.

The boxing scenario is very different in this generation, in the past, they had a saying to be the best you have to beat the best, so they united titles, and promoters were more than willing to fit the best in their respective divisions, which is why in the past there are lineal champions.

But now we have so many champions and these are weak champions because their promotions see to it that they are picking easy opponents, look at Ryan Garcia, his Golden Boy promotions were cherry-picking fights but once he fought a capable champion, he was beaten easily.
These promoters and organizations need to see that they have to pair the best against the best.
It's good that we have Saudi promotions that are willing to spend a lot of money just to see big fights happen that other promoters don't want to promote.

Take note and be aware that your way of gambling could affect your relationships and the circle of your relatives.

It's not only a relationship but also your finances and your mental health, gambling addiction ruins these three important things in your life, if you continue being addicted for a long time you will end up with nothing.

So if you're going to gamble moderation and priorities are important, gambling should be the least of your priorities, treat it as a form of entertainment something that you can leave everything or replace.

But if you make it your priority, you will end up miserable and you will eventually lose everything you value, gambling casinos are not meant to ruin one's life they have it in their terms that you should moderate your gambling and only play with money that you can afford to lose, if you heed this advice and follow this you will come out ok and at peace with yourself and loved ones.
756  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you be worried or comfortable seeing your elderly mother gambling? on: January 08, 2024, 10:58:44 AM


Lastly, will you feel comfortable or worried knowing that your mother is a dedicated gambler; and if you feel worried are you worried that she may be losing a pool of cash or your worried because you fear for her health as gamblers can get negative emotions when losing money.

It depends on the kind of gambling or where he is betting, if it is a lottery that is very popular here I need not worry as it is very popular here young and old are betting in the hope that it can change their lives and their family, and it only took minutes to bet here.

If it is a casino whether online or offline, I have something to worry about, as playing in casinos is very alarming for elders, especially for mothers, we all know that elder people have ailments like high blood pressure and this may shoot up if they play in casinos and they may forget to take their medicine and this will lead for their health to deteriorate, although there is no age for people to gamble but if's our parents who we know have ailments that will be alarming.

    It is also necessary to find something for the patient to do instead of playing, so that he can occupy himself.
Now imagine that this gambling expert is you. What arguments will you give? What will you tell the patient about?
I'm not a gambling expert, all I know is these professionals are checking the background and the root of addiction it's not about telling anything what to do but its more on rooting out the symptoms how it started, where it started, and when it started and addressing and giving out an alternative to root out the causes of addiction.
Quote
Please note that the patient will resist to the last. He will give counterarguments. For example, that he will get rich in the future, he’s just not lucky yet.
    What other arguments do you think the patient will give? How do you respond to these arguments of his?
It's hard to argue with a compulsive gambler it's like you're arguing with the wind, if a gambler is not ready to change there's no better argument to make him stop gambling, you can only show compassion and ask him to try an alternative to gambling, some gamblers just need someone to listen to their problems when he can talk to you heart to heart he can open about up about gambling addiction, arguments will never work, it will make the gambler to defend why he gamble.
758  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The most logical and profitable game on: January 07, 2024, 01:26:13 PM
I know that basically gambling is based on luck, but we can use tricks or strategies so that we don't spend a lot of money and can still win, even if it's only a small win.

In general, in my opinion, there are several categories of games in gambling such as house edge games, sportsbooks, slot machine games, live casino games, and lottery. In your opinion, which game do you think is the most logical to win? and what is the reason?

It will have to be sports betting you need logic and familiarity with the game for you to have a good chance of winning if you know the game very well, and can do a flawless analysis you have a very good chance of winning, compared to all other luck based games, sports betting is the favorite of those who wants to make money in gambling, it's not unusual and surprising if you see people posting their huge winning in sports betting that's because these bettors have done their assignment they do not just rely on luck so, although time-consuming its the best choice for gamblers who wants to have a chance in gambling.
One of my biggest winnings in gambling was in local boxing but it's not in a casino but on peer-to-peer betting, and it's not luck I have seen the boxer I betted how he fights and my analysis was correct.
759  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Beterbiev Vs Smith January 13 SATURDAY IBF / WBC / WBO LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT Title on: January 07, 2024, 02:32:36 AM
And here is the current result of the poll, hmmm it seems nobody's giving Smith a chance to beat Beterbiev, after Beterbiev and Bivol dispose of their respective opponents it is time for them to settle who among the two is the best Russian boxer.

Beterbiev by knockout   - 22 (100%)
Beterbiev by decision   - 0 (0%)
Smith by knock out   - 0 (0%)
Smith by decision   - 0 (0%)
Draw   - 0 (0%)

That is a very lopsided poll. Beterbiev has a perfect knockout record so it makes sense that everyone believes he will win this fight by stoppage. There are many doubts about Callum Smith. His win against John Ryder was questionable and against Canelo he didn't let his hands go and got dominated. The only question about Beterbiev is whether he is starting to decline. At 38, his reflexes might not be the same. Smith will have to show some initiative instead of just absorb punches. He has a better chance than most people anticipate but it depends on whether he can impose his style without getting intimidated by Beterbiev's power.

So lopsided that the discussion is not about who's going to win but on what round Beterbiev will knock out Smith, honestly I don't want to see this kind of fight although Smith is a decent fighter, but Beterbiev is just so good that any decent fight will look like a class b fighter against him.

This is a cherry-picked fight how I wish the promoters and the organizations stop putting this kind of fight and just unify the titles so there will be one champion, so the Beterbiev - Bivol fight should happen.
We don't want to see these two guys fight in the exhibition or when they are already, the promoters must make it happen now that they are at the peak of their boxing careers.
760  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Use your winning responsibly on: January 07, 2024, 12:53:44 AM
That's the right thing to do if you win a big amount of money spend it on something you can be proud of and on something that your whole family can use I bought a motorcycle when I won in the lottery.
It's not every day that we can win a big amount so when you do make it memorable you have a piece of evidence that will inspire you to gamble to win but of course, use only money that you can afford to lose.
There's a temptation to use the money you've won to gamble for bigger rewards that are too risky you will eventually lose that money just allocate a portion and use the big portion to buy something that is useful for the whole family.
