Arsenal got a perfect first half and nearly got an easy win but their lack of focus in a second half gave Tottenham Hotspur to come back. Arsenal finally got three points but they again put themselves into a stressful situation.

They need to finalize the match after leading 3 - 0 in the first half and did not let Tottenham's chances to score one, two goals and lift up their mentality. It is very dangerous situation for Arsenal and they fell into risk of losing 2 points. They completed one of two big matches, with three points and another big match will be with Manchester United.

This win from Arsenal helps Premier League continues to be interesting as the title is still reachable for Arsenal.

Many years ago, it would have been possible to buy Bitcoin with 1 dollar but right now it's not. The least amount you can buy Bitcoin on a CEX is 5 dollars. Also, you should know that CEX charges a withdrawal fee in the region of $10 - $15 dollars, which far bigger than the money you have.
You can check withdrawal fee with these sites.
83  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can a seed phrase on steel or titanium sheet survive this flood? on: April 28, 2024, 02:09:58 PM
Steel or Titanium?

If its Steel it needs to be Stainless Steel and there are different grades of SS available for different
applications but generally SS does not corrode like mild or carbon steel.

Any other steel wouldnt be recommended because of corrosion.

The same goes for Titanium, it doesnt corrode so a seed phrase stamped onto either of those two
metals will survive a flood, i.e Water!
Lopp did his tests and wrote a review on Metal Bitcoin storage reviews

See the Corrosion tabs for more details.

another way to send someone 20 merits would be to send them 0.02e3 merits.
Lol. I've reached my monthly limit, so all I could send you was 0.002e3 Merits.
It seems hugeblack tested it already and it ended as 20 merit sent to PowerGlove. Maybe hugeblack can confirm this but I don't think there is coincidence of the 20 sent merit and this given information for testing from PowerGlove.

I can tell you guys are computer Huh??s. Anywhere else people would just be using digits. Hasn't anybody tried to use the infinity symbol to give the maximum? Smiley
Infinity symbol will not work, I did not test it but as I know, theymos coded that one user can only send another user 50 merits per month. It's the cap, not infinity.

I think those type of things will not be easily possible at the same time. Just expecting Man City to lose multiple games is not that easy, I feel like things are going to be quite different, we should probably consider that as the important reason why Liverpool probably already failed.
Arsenal only need Manchester City to lose one game, it's enough for them to take over the first position with same total matches and can control the title race again. However, very unfortunately, only one defeat from Manchester City is still a far-reaching unrealistic hope for Arsenal.

I know that Arsenal still has a chance to win the EPL title, but for me it's not really convincing because maybe Arteta needs to instill a winning mentality in his team so they can play better
Arteta and his players will not give up with only some little remaining matches. They will try to solve remaining matches, match by match, and will fight till the final match day if they won't lose one or two matches before the last match, and see difference with Manchester City to be expanded bigger.

I wish best for Arsenal but I am very skeptical that Arsenal will be able to fight till the final match day of this season. With two big matches with Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, they will have big risk to fall farther behind Manchester City.

Well its fine to speculate since sportsbook is big industry and they are considering adding it base on @Little Mouse said. But maybe they are monitoring the needs of this feature to be added. If they see that a lot of there's a lot of discussion and suggestion about adding that maybe they consider. But since this has been talked about for sure lots of people became curious if sportsbook will really be added here in future
They need to build up their sportsbook, test it, debug and many steps that likely include their license too.

It is understandable that their sportsbook won't be available for Metawin users to bet soon. It's good news that they already have plan for a Metawin Sportsbook and we don't know they already kick-off their development for it or only on the desk.

Metawin is a big gambling platform and without a sportbook, users already have many games to play, that is good enough for their experience. Then many promotion and events from Metawin team as we can see on their X accounts' updates.

I feel this is an internal problem between the player and the coach, seeing in the last match against West Ham when Salah entered as a substitute had an argument with Jurgen Klopp, this is like there is no harmony to make Liverpool's performance decline. Maybe this is one of the causes.

1. https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1784210836308787622
This argument is very strange and shocked because Mohamed Salah is a player who usually does react like this to his coaches.

If anyone miss the match but want to see the argument, watch there
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxcEMdNkPYQ

Mohamed Salah was only cooled down after Darwin Nunez tried to stop him. Maybe Salah really wants to win another Premier League trophy with Liverpool and what happened recent matches is very disappointed with him and conflict already appeared in previous matches but also shown publicly today.

The most recent case is the Samourai wallet. At first look it is an open source software, it talks about CoinJoin, looks "decentralized" and all is good. But at the root of it, this is a centralized company and when you use it you are relying on a centralized coordinator (server) both of which could always been shut down and they eventually did get shut down.
The reminder is good that people mostly believe that Decentralized Exchanges are actually decentralized. From your example, I hope they can see a red flag that centralized companies and teams are behind these DEX.

At the end, there are centralized entities and people that can be targets of governments and regulations so that these DEX can be shut down any time with a sanction from national government and international cooperation.

Seriously, I am not exaggerating. I have been in crypto since 2015-2016, active on this forum, checking every single crypto casino and I have never seen a crypto casino that become so popular without firstly getting itself announced on this forum.
I disagree here because my observation is opposite than yours. It is true that years ago, cryptocurrency projects and gambling businesses mostly appeared firstly on Bitcointalk. Years later, there were migrations from Bitcointalk to their own forums for blockchain projects and casinos.

Nowadays, it's more common that casinos exist a while before their team figure out that they can get some good exposure at Bitcointalk. It can be from one of their team members or introduction from third party marketing people.

You can notice that if a flow is like a casino launches their announcement thread here and shortly like hours or some days later, they launch a signature campaign, I am sure that there is a signature campaign manager who told the casino team to launch their ANN thread in the forum.

As of now, nothing is guaranteed however, we are planning something big. Metawin owner is very much interested in bitcointalk so yeah, there's a chance that something bigger will be announced soon. We are also planning competition here for bitcointalk users. That might be something many would be interested. We are planning to make it more lucrative.
Nothing was finalized yet for upcoming changes but at least from your information, I know that Metawin team already assessed many results from their appearance in Bitcointalk, the signature campaign. It is good news for signature campaign participants like me, because it's very likely Metawin team will continue it.

More lucrative, I don't expect it but if the team provide something better, I appreciated it and will contribute as best as I can for exposure of Metawin brand around the forum.

Looking forward for this exciting news!
Me too.

I think the theme with reading multiple pages ToS is not even about lazyness but about self-respect
some terms of service takes weeks to read, days... who has all this time? a lot of it is just shouting "take my data" and letting it be...

The inconvenience of long ToS is true but it explains why a platform has FAQs page for more summary information on most basics and it is why they have Customer Support Staffs. You can have Bot support first, then if necessary, you will be directed to human customer support staffs.

These resources on website, bot to human can help guests or users get almost basic information they need to use a platform.
92  Economy / Gambling / Re: MetaWin.com | The First WEB3 Casino on: April 25, 2024, 03:03:46 PM
I see it when I login to the website,



You can see it instantly and other rewards in the competition. And it's really attractive as the price is big and so everyone should really participate.
MetaWin team run many types of advertisement and promotion for their business, users and community. Prizes and awards are very good as they are big enough compares to many other gambling business.

Their appearance on the forum is good in general because of many contributions from them. Forum members have exposure to a good gambling platform and have another good option to choose. Furthermore, there is given chance to participate in their signature campaign that has been lasting a while and as I know, the campaign will have some big changes next week.

Even if he stayed I don't think that report numbers would be much bigger since big chunk of his reports (not only his though) were made for posts that were several years old and it became pointless to report those posts after change in how mods/admins handle those kind of reports (which was a good move imho).
Ratimov is a main contributor of spike in reports in 2022 or 2023, and I read his complains about moderator works to deal with his reports on very old posts too. Then easier policy on plagiarisms, AI tend to make reporters are less interested in making reports. Ratimov wrote that he disappointed about it and no longer wanted to report 'bad' posts.

Ratimov now gone, his account was locked, and recent months, it seems more bans on plagiarisms and AI-generated posts. Hopefully it will give reporters some motivation to get back with their reports.

One of his complains
2000 sent reports per month. It's even worse than I expected. 2000 reports for 167,000 posts published during the same period on the forum. I wonder whether the quality of posts on the forum has increased dramatically, or whether reporting itself has finally died as an activity. Something tells me it's the second option.

One reply to his complain.
Quote from: hilariousando
Reporting posts from 2018 in dead threads that have already been locked really isn't necessary. Sometimes it seems like people are going out of their way to find stuff to report. Posts that have been edited shouldn't be removed anyway as someone can just edit their post and then report it to try make sure it's fully deleted and people can try cover their tracks this way. There probably should be some sort of statue of limitations on certain stuff because posts in dead threads from years ago really isn't an issue. If you want to report stuff there's thousands of posts made a day by shitposters so it's not like you'll ever run out of stuff to do.

Or people know (Freebitco) it's a casino not an exchanger. That's the reason liquidation spread gap price are high in their casino, one things people should know (CASINO is CASINO) don't mix of them.

If you just want to exchange the token, perhaps just use (exchanger) not casino. Because most regular people who are not in the casino sector are mostly gonna to trade on exchange rather than in casino.
Casinos can provide that feature but they can not provide too high liquidity by many reasons. If people want to have bigger liquidity pool, smaller slippage, they can pick big decentralized exchanges and swap the token.

If they want convenience and don't want to leave the casino, they can use the internal swap feature or convert feature (some casinos provide it) with well understanding about smaller liquidity pool and higher slippage.
95  Other / Meta / Re: Monthly Report Statistics on: April 24, 2024, 02:18:33 AM
Generally there are less reports over time and after sharply increase from late 2021 to first half 2022, the trend is very severe downwards.

According to the same logic in your analysis, I think that the result will most likely be a draw. The level of the two teams is similar, and as much as they have good offensive capabilities, they also have excellent defenses. I don't expect it will be easy for either of them to score.
Football is not match and it is not logic in most of matches.

The match between Arsenal and Chelsea is such an illogical match that ended as a very big win for Arsenal. Even Arsenal fans did not imagine that their team will beat Chelsea with this big result. 3 points are what Arsenal fans hoped that their team will achieve after this big clash but they got a much better than just 3 points.

With this big win, Arsenal leads Premier League with 77 points but Manchester City have 2 more matches and Liverpool have 1 more match. Differences of Arsenal against Liverpool and Manchester City are 3 and 4 points, respectively.

I plotted some charts for daily and monthly merit distributions. It's a first update after more than 3 years.

For complain about decreasing of merit distributions, the box plot can be helpful. The median daily distributed merit is 722 (see the red line). With this box plot, you can see the trend is decreasing but this 2024 year is still above the median and better than most of years, except years 2022 and 2023.


See details with following charts.

Then I tried the opposite
Code:
-1
And it says invalid. This means "-" placed at the left side makes a number but at the right side is just a sign.
Please read my above post, the quote block.

For negative merit number, it was reported as a bug, and theymos fixed it. Makes sense if now you can not send any negative merit to demerit other users.

Is it a bug, though?

I just merited you with:

Code:
1-.

Seems like it just ignores everything that isn't a number, which feels like the ideal behavior.
I don't know but I knew there was a bug with negative number when sending merit, in early hours or days of merit system.

Seems like theymos fixed it and caused other bugs!  Grin

I typed 1\ when I want to send 1 merit and it works.

To test it again, I typed 1/ and it works too.

Tested it again with 1~, and it works too.

Can these ones be considered as bugs with Merit button?

Please check it theymos.  Cheesy

I guess the box should accept number only, not string.

You know, one idea pops up in my head, and I want to hijack the merit system by using exponential but it does not work.
Code:
2^2
It only allows me to send 2 merit, not 4.  Undecided
