There is that saying that says "with water,fire and government you don't play or you get burned" meaning that they have an authority that can do anything they want and track you hard if they decide to do so.A clear example is Russia as a nation,they track anyone that they deem dangerous to them and make short work of that person.So overall yes the government can track you and even if you have Bitcoin,at sometime you will need to convert it to FIAT as it is not widespread now the fact to buy groceries or expensive goods with it makes you an easy target as the government can track any FIAT amount you own.

The steelworks at Lipetsk (Ruzzia) have been hit by a drone strike. This war is becoming veeery expensive for the Ruzzian economy.



Yes. Keep up your sense of humour, you will need it.

There are protest in Poland since quite a while, as usual a few people may be defending their interests, maybe organised. What you will never understand is that protesting in a democracy is fine. I know this probably is mind-blowing for you, so sit down if you feel lightheaded.

TBH the Polish are probably paid by Putin (a good indication of what to expect if he is victorious in Ukraine), but they should take lessons from the French subsidized farmers protests. They do it for free!

Ukrainian delegation waited for peasants there? Or maybe someone from government?
It seems you have problem to understand basic things

I certainly understand the basic things, and even many times the not-that-basic things. Look, you fought and whatever, probably you need to believe your own bullshit to somehow feel justified in whatever you did, but what is clear is that you can only see the world with the lenses of the past. Too distant of a past.

Peace and prosperity right now requires that Putin is stopped. This is not ideological, this is practical. I could you care less on who you love or hate - that may make you feel better, but brings nothing to the common future.

That is where Russian economy is getting hit the hardest yet no one cares to protest for their own benefit and their average money in GPD which has gone down dramatically during exactly 2 years of war right now,what is worse is that this is a senseless war which Putin is only continuing as he cannot back out of it right now after two years in losing all sort of things,from personnel,to tanks,carriers,aircraft and many other things military speaking.

I wonder if the Russians think they live in democracy in what is being told them by Russian state TV or they really want this way of life going from bad to worse in their economy.Just one more year of the war and the economy will be down to its knees in a definitive way.
763  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Zilliqa, too less shares, lowered reward? on: February 25, 2024, 04:34:24 PM
Hi, I have observed in the last period, Zilliqa is lowered on reward and also harder to find shares when mining.
Until couple days since I have observed this, I was mining it on Ezil pool (dual mining), and everything was ok.
Usually I earned around 50 Zil on 24-27 hours with around 950MH real hashrate on rigs.
Then it lowered more than half of initial earnings.
Read about Ezil pool is closing on March and moved back to Crazypool, but here also poor earnings, compairing tho the past year when I used for couple weeks, crazypool.
There are entire rounds with 0 shares made, even if in pool it shows 1+ GH in hashrate (rigs are showed correctly in pool but achieve 0 shares on that round).
I use the same settings as in the past for both pools and rigs too.
Anyone, any ideea what's happening?
Thank's!

I keep mining Zilliqa with 85 Mhsh in a miner hobby now mining rig with 2 Nvidia cards and I have not seen any drop in rewards lately I keep making the same 30 Zilliqa to receive minimum payment in about just a bit less than 6 days meaning I make a bit more than 5 Zilliqa a day and if they truly have gone down I have not noticed it.

It means that the difficulty has gone up and the network has higher hash rate meaning it takes more power in term of hash processing in order to generate the same amount of Zilliqa you used to do before this increase in difficulty of the network.

If you don't succeed at something, but you managed to try it - is it worth regretting? Before you regret it, you need to understand why you failed and what you can improve. For example, if you have trouble playing poker, you need to read poker manuals and learn how to meditate, bluff, and control your emotions. If it doesn't work, then it's not your thing and you need to try something else

I have to agree with this.If you are no good at one thing then it means you should forget about it and try something else,some people say that to make sure you have to try at least twice and if you still don't get it then it definitely is not for you.This can relate to sport betting or poker playing where a large part of determining if you are winner or not is the skill level that you have to read the news in sport betting and to read adversary moves in poker playing.If you can be good at this then definitely you won't have any regrets because you are going to enjoy every moment of your playing session.
765  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why People Have Different Perception Of Gambling Operators on: February 25, 2024, 03:55:26 PM
I just noticed here in our city, that two brothers own different gambling platforms people have different impressions of each one of them, the first one owns a lottery outlet and he is getting respect from people from all walks of life, people look upon him as a giver of luck because many people hit consolations from his Lotto outlet

Photo from Phoenix Lotto FBpage



The other one is the owner of Cockpit Arena and many people despise him because many of their husbands and fathers lose a lot of money and go home empty-handed

I wonder why these two brothers receive different impressions when both are running a gambling platform, honestly, I prefer my friends and relatives to bet on the lotto but I advise them to be careful when playing in a cockpit, because in a cockpit arena, you can wipe out all your money and you end up empty-handed because the games are continuous you have no control and you are tempted to continue playing or lose everything whereas in Lotto you can allocate your bets.

Do you have the same situation like this in your country where gambling operators are not getting the same treatment?

In my country all gambling operators got banned and the only one allowed to operate was first a big casino Regency,then they opened up another huge casino called Grand and these two are the only operators,they get the same treatment and people have no different perception for them except all people think that they take people's money  Grin.

Who got treated unfairly were all the small operators who got closed but which in my opinion were having a much better RTP compared to these two big guys which are having a really bad RTP in all their slot games and of course they are like some monopoly who do not adhere to competition rules.
766  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you pay attention on other people bet and it amount, and does it affect you? on: February 25, 2024, 02:13:13 PM
Yesterday, when I was playing Crash, I have caught myself thinking that I watch on how much people bet, how much they won and lose. First I have felt envy, when I saw one guy bet 200-300 bucks all the time for half and hour and cashed out with 2+ multiplier. Among bets in range of 1 sat to a dollar, he was really standing out. Then I have noticed a guy who was betting a dollar and did not cash out until rocket passes 10x. I was also amazed how a guy bet 1k, and lost it when the rocket banged at 1.00x, then he immediately made another 1k bet and the rocket banged at 1.03x. Then I saw him winning +5k bucks.

That is how the idea of this topic appeared. I watch others gamble, I watch how the bet, I start to think about betting more than usually. Do you have such feeling also? Do you have a feeling that if others make large bets, that you also must bet large, otherwise you would feel like uncomfortable, or feel like a poor among rich, or something of that kind.
I also watch gamblers play crash game and sometimes it is also my go signal to bet when a high amount is being bet on that round.
I like to play along with those gambler at least if I lose I know that there are other gamblers who had it worst (LOL)  Grin , even though the amount that they are gambling might only be small for them.
But there are times that I would just watch and see how they play it.

In the games I play it does not mean anything,I am talking about slot machines,if I see a lot of people are playing the same slot and the number is over 200-300 I know for sure that also high rollers are playing there and maybe they are losing badly.This does not mean that if I go and play with the minimum bet will get the max win,no it is not like that the operation of the slot machines.What I have noticed is that if the slot machine is only eating money from a lot of people most probably it will continue do to so for some other amount of time at least and if the machine is paying out it means it will do so for some other amount of time at least and it is in this second case we should join and play.
767  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: February 25, 2024, 01:36:52 PM
Damn Arsenal!

Scoring 4 or 5 or 6 goals every game, this is not even the Wenger Arsenal and they are just all over. Now nobody ever mentions they need a proper striker, even their main one is injured and forgotten.

And it's not bad opponents too, Newcastle, Liverpool.

City struggled with two back to back 1-0 wins. But usually Champions are the ones who win when they can't play well they say!!

Arsenal is impressing everyone and that is correct,I assume that lost game in Champions is because they are absolutely sure they can crush anyone in their return leg when they will be playing in London.On the Premier League side scoring 4 goals against a team like Newcastle is something not many teams can do and this shows that Arsenal is playing extremely well,the Premier League is more open than ever now as there are three teams with just 2 points difference between each other and not many weeks are left until the end of the season.I am sure if we play these three teams in parlay ticket every week,the lost tickets will be rare.
768  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling games that gives you an exciting experience on: February 25, 2024, 01:02:18 PM
Gambling has developed over time and this field has become more popular, especially after the development of many games and the ability of casinos to fulfill all players’ requirements, allowing us an exciting experience.
There is always a game or several games that we prefer over the rest and enjoy more for several factors, perhaps because we feel that we have more luck and a greater chance of winning, or because we understand the foundations of the game and how it works, or for other purposes.

Personally, I am new to gambling and I do not know much about games, and I prefer gambling on football matches with small amounts of money.

What is your favorite gambling game and what are the reasons that made you prefer it over the rest?

Almost every single gambler starts with sport betting as that is the most massive dispersed gamble all over the world,for example when I watch games I see ads for sport betting like bet365,betfair or bettap which are all sport books in the first place beside also offering casino games.However it is also true with the passing of time almost every such gambler want to try something new and they go to luck games like roulette,blackjack or slot machines as slot machines are the most addictive of all games for the simple reason that they can give you the max win in a very short amount of time,much different from sport bets.
769  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A lot of gambling sites are scams ! on: February 25, 2024, 12:13:16 PM
Online betting has become the main concern for the majority of young people, as players flock to casinos forcefully to obtain the largest possible amount of money. There are those who invest thousands and millions of dollars, but there is a serious problem as the majority of sites provide facilities to ensure players’ participation and entice them with large sums of money. Then they steal every cent directly. There are sites that do not target young players, as their victims are those with large amounts of money. Other sites initially deal transparently and seek to gain the trust of the players until they obtain a large audience. Then they begin their hellish plans. So , the majority of gambling sites are unsafe and it's hard to trust them .

How can I choose the best betting site that provides me with a safe betting experience?
Does this site provide a high level of safety for its players?
I need help from those with experience in this field

You don't go to play there first.If you still want to go and play then you should do some research as to which site offers you a money limit you can use for a certain amount of time.This though won't stop you or any other young person to stop playing there if you get bored by the limit and join another site that offers a higher limit or no limit at all.So the bottom line is that the casinos are not scams as we should know the odds are totally against us and as such the only final solution to this is to stop joining these platforms in the first place rather than accusing them.
770  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How will you feel if it happens to you just like this? on: February 25, 2024, 11:26:08 AM
If that happened to me, maybe I would regret it, because it was a good opportunity which could have changed my life but I didn't take it which was a mistake. But even though I regret it, I will not drag on about it, because if it is our good fortune it will definitely come to us. Just believe that one day there will be good luck for us, don't think too much about things that have passed because maybe bigger luck will happen to us.
To be on a safer side, don't expect much from the system, rather expects less so you'll not be surprised when your budgets doesn't go as plan. It's no new thing to experience losses, however we become stronger to deal with problems when we're independent. Regrets happen on daily basis in the space. We're often lucky and when it hits harder, we lay down and cry out, that's for those of us that don't have the balance control of our emotions, but some of us stand strong enough to take in anything in the system. Gamblers are always ready to embraced any results generated on their end.

I don't think a lot of gamblers are otherwise we would not see those addicted persons in the first place.That means that not every gambler is able to control his emotions and the slot providers as an example for instance play exactly with these people by bringing a huge amount of near misses which would be otherwise a max win and people are normal,they have emotions and they fall for this so they continue gambling until they experience those hard losing sessions and they start crying out and feel full of regrets.

I have stopped playing slots exactly for this reason,the slot providers are making fun of me and many other people while very rarely giving out max wins nowadays compared to before,just the economic crisis keeps worsening,the same is from slot providers they do not make better slots,the new ones are worse than older ones.
771  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The shocking rate of women interested in gambling. on: February 24, 2024, 09:42:39 PM
Interesting title of the post,it was well discussed sometime ago here by some other person and I don't find it shocking at all.I have my own idea that they are extremely lower in number compared to male gamblers and let me make you a measurement that I use,I see people in a stadium of a big football game,the same percentage of persons there who are women is for me the same percentage of women who may be start like gambling,they are the football fans in the beginning.

I hope this number keeps decreasing as if it increases it may bring fatal consequences to our society in general as normally the woman as they say is the pillar of a family (not providing,but keeping it running smooth and educating the children).
772  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the highest amount of money you've ever bet in a single game? on: February 24, 2024, 07:50:48 PM
Hi guys, I don't know if something like this have been discussed here in the past, a thread a I previously commented on made me curious about this, so I decided to ask here.

It's a pretty forward and simple question, which is...
1. What is the highest amount of money you've bet on a single game in the past?
2. Did you win or lose that game?
3. Was it an amount you were actually ready to comfortably lose?

My own answer
To the first question, the highest amount of money I've bet on a single game was around $3000, I bet this amount On a sport match between Argentina and Saudi Arabia in 2022 world cup tournament.

To the second question, unfortunately, the game did not win, so I lose this money unfortunately, was a very bitter experience for me.

To the third question, of course this amount was money I was never ready to lose, but over confidence in Argentina to beat Saudi Arabia made me bet it in the game, but somehow, Saudi Arabia managed to beat Argentina, and this was how I lost that money, till date, this remains the highest amount of money Ive bet bet in a single game, and unfortunately, I lost it.

So, what about you?


That just shows that nothing is secure in this betting world.Now if Argentina plays another 100 times against Saudi Arabia they will probably win those 100 other times but the sad reality is that they lost that game.On another note that brought them luck as they managed in the end to win that World Cup from the distant time of Maradona so that 2022 was a great experience for them.Saudi Arabia on their side was never expecting this win and it made so much headlines there that the king decided a national holiday that specific day when they won against Argentina.

1.1000 dollars
2. Won 1500
3. I would become bitterly angry if I lost although I won.

I played in a local league game where I live now (Albania)and the game was Dinamo Tirana vs Apollonia Fier (from Albania Super League many years ago)and the first half ended 0-2,I was in the stadium and thought nothing can turn things to 3-2 yet they did it and I won 500 dollars.

That's not easy at all, that the person keeps on doing the free roll every hour for 18-24 hrs the day (Excluding) the sleeping time. There are other activities in life too and sometimes you may forget to do the freeroll for the hour or you might be busy in some other activities and not able online for this activity. Let's keep this to a realistic target.
I used to claim the faucet 15-17 times regularly when the reward points bonus system was available on Freebitco. We were able to buy 100 RP with per hourly faucet claim for 24 hours by spending 1200 RP from that option. A lot of users were using this method and claiming the faucets 14-17 times regularly. However, it is indeed difficult to claim the faucet 18-24 times everyday without using the bot.

I used to do the same from time to time. Activate the bonus and try to be as active as possible, I think I always got around 14-15 claims a day, more is quite difficult except if you want to sacrifice sleep to keep claiming lol.

That is what I used to do when I have enough RP to claim the bonuses.I however used to start the spins which would give me 5 Wheel Of Fortune spins in a roll at 12 AM and then I got to sleep,this way I only used to lose like 5 spins as I get up in 6 AM and I keep rolling every hour so I do like 19 spins a maximum and that 14-15 as average when I used to forget some rolls.That is the maximum you can get as no one has the possibility to be up 24 hours without damaging his body and brain system by doing so,so I recommend starting the bonus in 12 AM as the best way to achieve maximum profit out of it.
774  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: AMD video cards RX8000 series on: February 24, 2024, 06:20:21 PM
Does anyone know how these will do in memory hard algos like Kawpow?
There are not even synthetic tests yet, and you are asking for mining tests. After the video card is released, miner developers will need time to optimize their miners for the new video cards.
And Kawpow works very well on cheaper video cards.

No matter how well behave these cards right now mining is not profitable at all,the prices of such latest series cards will be expensive and not at all worth for mining unless someone will take the risk of building a rig with those hoping for a bright future in mining and he will have predicted x3-x5 prices of such cards when that happens.

That though is extremely unlikely and the fact that most people are not caring at all about the Nvidia latest series and AMD latest series available chances will be high that the same dis interest will be also on the upcoming top series.

The L3 looks pretty good I can also afford it at the moment right now. Smiley I've also heard computers can produce hashrate would that be possible for me to do at school you think?

Not really at school unless you want to get caught as most probably they a network administrator there or a system administrator which would most probably notice the mining if you do it in a school computer.

The price of L3+ is really cheap but when I see the profitability it is in big red as it only produces some only a bit more than 0.011 Litecoin in 30 days which is 1 dollar and that is terribly bad.There are better ways to learn mining in my opinion,you can try with raptoreum in your home PC which any processor support it starting from core i5 2nd generation.

Maybe you should do the same for your mother,after you collect money after a couple of years with that plan you should be able to achieve what you want and as such you buy your mother the full package needed to do that holy ritual.

I don’t understand the whole decentralization comparison when it is crystal clear the bitcoin nodes and how it works explain a true decentralized network, just any one can be part of the node but that doesn’t relay to Ethereum chain where validators are mostly the center of attention for the network decision making which defeats the whole point of decentralization.

That is crystal clear that the validators in Ethereum network can be a bunch of gangs who happen to be near the founder of Ethereum and they have the right to validate,most people,most normal people do not have over 32 Ethereum to validate transactions so they are somewhat chosen ones and they can have an outcome and impact on the road map of the Ethereum in general,the Dapps were great at sometime ago yet I have not seen such activity lately or maybe I have missed them so in reality they are not decentralized at all let alone to be better decentralized than Bitcoin,that is pure nonsense.
779  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making too many picks reduces chances of winning. on: February 24, 2024, 11:46:07 AM
Those who bet on sports betting will only bet on matches that they know and can analyze. it will show what chance of winning they can get. It doesn't matter what the results of the bet will be, but those who bet on sports bets will not place bets on teams whose strengths they don't know.
Indeed, you can rely on luck, but gamblers also don't just bet on ongoing matches.
Usually, it won't just be one match, at the weekend you can see several big leagues being played, and several bets can be made. The most important thing is to bet when we know the opportunities we can get.
You can't rely on luck when it comes to sports betting, you are supposed to know which side has more chances of winning the game and place your bet accordingly, luck doesn't have that big of an influence when it comes to sports betting, so you can't place random bets and expect to win most of them just by luck, if someone is doing that, they are doing the wrong thing.

Those who rely on luck should stick to gambling games, why get into sports betting in the first place?  Tongue Sports betting is for those who know they understand a specific sport very well and they know they can predict the outcomes of the games very accurately most of the time.

I agree with you,those people who play sport betting know a lot more than those who keep relying on luck games.The people who don't care and want just to try their luck they go and hit the spin button in slot machines while people playing a bit in a more intelligent way they go to sport betting and try to maximize their chances by choosing different games in their multi ticket.The more games they add it is true the less the chance to win so the perfect balance is a ticket with 4-5 games and games that people have studied them a lot,this will increase their chances to be winners more often than not in the long term,yet very few persons if at all are able to achieve such results.

Even if Redbull truly loses these heads of the team who has greatly contributed to their success so far based on the car they have for the 2024-2025 season they can easily win as long as Max is driving for them,as for Perez I have really high doubts about him winning a Championship even with the best car.

The big problem that we saw from the testing is,Max is over 1 second faster in testing although he said it is only testing compared to the second best car,now if these results carry over for real in the season which I believe they will do then we are going to see the same season of 2023 repeating the same pattern.
