.... Seriously, why bother wasting your time with this when your posting history makes it so blatantly obvious you're a spammer for hire? I'm clicking the ignore button on accounts more than I'm awarding merit these days. I must admit though, seeing all the ignored users as I browse around the forum and not having to waste my time reading their nonsense has been the best side effect of this thread. I feel like my ignore list is becoming more valuable by the day. |

I'm guessing they finally realized that they were grading and certifying crypto coins as being legitimate without any knowledge of the blockchain or whether or not people would take that as their certification that the coins were indeed loaded as claimed. If someone slipped an unloaded coin through and got it certified then sold it as loaded to someone else, I could see that leading to a very costly backlash scenario for them... I wondered when this horrible business model would finally be exposed. Now I'm just curious what sort of complaint they received, how much it cost them, and if lawsuits were involved or it was settled privately. On the plus side, their gradings were highly inconsistent anyway, so this is no real loss for the community. I'd even argue we are better off, as buyers won't be bamboozled into paying inflated prices for coins that were sent in repeatedly until they received a high grade.

The Lakers 2020/2021 team reminds me the 2011/2012 team, was a disappointment and they had a lot of allstars on the team and they were ready to beat the Heat in that season, (Wade, Bosh and LJ)
11-12 Lakers was a decent team but not a great team at all, the picture you are showing is the 12-13 Lakers which added Nash and Howard. Steve Nash missed a huge chunk of the season, Howard created all that drama during that season and Kobe got his most famous injury that eventually resulted with him retiring after few seasons. So basically this is not really a good example, if Lebron gets a super injury like ACIL or some tear whatever that causes him to be never the same player again, it could resemble, but I doubt that will happen. AD is not out that much neither, he will come back soon, and the team is not really that much of a disappointment considering they literally won the cup last season, you do not have to win it every single season, you can win one and then let someone else win the next one. Which is why I am sure Lakers fans are probably fine about it, they won the league on their first playoffs after so many years missing it. Agreed, the Lakers were in top contention until lebron and ad started missing games in the reg season. The Suns are just a REALLY good team, they were #2 in the west. Lakers were never going to knock them out in 4. It's been a great series so far like it should be. I expect game 6 in LA to be a great game as well. Bron has never been down after 5 games in the first series. Let's see how he does. I definitely don't think LeBron is the problem. He's putting up good numbers still. The rest of his team is absolutely terrible. This is something I'd expect to see from the '06 Cavs, not the '21 Lakers... Drummond has been outplayed by Ayton all series. Kuz has been missing in action. KCP, terrible. Wesley Matthews, terrible. Marc Gasol, terrible. Montrez Harrell, terrible... The only players I see doing anything good with the ball out there are Bron & Alex Caruso. I never thought I'd be worried about a LeBron led Lakers losing to the Suns in the playoffs, but here we are... |

— Knockouts legal
That's all I care about. I couldn't care less who sanctions the fight or if this will "count" on anyone's record. We all know if Floyd loses this then he will kiss goodbye his perfect Golden Boy record. No amount of, "it was an exhibition" will matter. If Logan Paul knocks out Floyd Mayweather, it won't matter if they were pillow fighting in front of an old folks home, Floyd will never live it down. This might be a ridiculous fight with outrageous odds, but Logan is getting the chance to do something really great and Floyd could use being humbled by a YouTuber. |

I don't know if it's the browser I'm using or what, but the site doesn't allow me to place individual bets anymore. I can only place multibets. It has been this way for a while, but in the past I've always been able to use the multibet window to make individual bets so it wasn't an issue. I seem to have lost that ability with the last update and this will seriously effect my ability to place bets. Is anyone else having this issue or knows how to resolve it on my end?

why hundreds? only 100 can win.
You'd have to go through all the entries, not the winners. Pics can be faked anyway so that was never a realistic option due to the human element and lack of transparency involved. I could only imagine the cries of foul play if we did do it that way... I'm confident we are doing it the best and most transparent way possible for everyone involved. Judging from the wide margin of % that the giveaway passed the poll by, I am not alone. I hope everyone enjoyed the long holiday weekend of remembrance. I've been busy engraving rounds this morning and plan to spend most of my week doing so. We'll see how many hours I can throw at it today, but hopefully I get some good pics out of this to show.  |

Poor LeBron James that’s two games in a row his teammates have all but disappeared on him. Chris Paul took a bit of a hit tonight that might hurt the suns going forward. If the Lakers can’t get some help around LeBron James though it won’t matter. Hopefully Anthony Davis comes back soon it was really obvious that he was missed tonight.

With the Nets and the Lakers both playing tomorrow I think that could be a good opportunity for a parlay. The Lakers have been struggling with the Suns no doubt, but I think they’re going to even it up tomorrow. If Ayton can manage to string together multiple games of his 15+ rebound dominance in the paint, I’ll be not only surprised, but likely out some money as well.

This fight is coming up fast. I have to admit that I’m feeling a little less confident than I should be in Logan Paul’s ability to get off a lucky shot. I still am hoping for the best though. In any case this should be an event to witness. I watched a documentary on the fight last night and Logan said he was planning to enter the ring 40 lbs heavier than Floyd. We’ll see.

It does seem like he’s still not choosing boxers and is leveraging his fame to get easy KOs. I don’t blame him though and I love seeing his knockout power in the ring. This fighter should be a little harder to beat than Askren was, so while there will still be those that complain, he is making progress and that’s something. |

so let me ask this - an online seat owner wins - how do you know who that is? how do you keep someone from falsely claiming that the seat that won is theirs? Do you keep information on who all the online seat owners are?
We literally chose to do the giveaway this way so that this wouldn’t be an issue. If you own the private key, you’ll get to share in the rewards as a group. If you don’t, you can’t. The way you suggested with photos and human verification can be gamed, but the private keys can’t. I hope that makes more sense to you now that this is the most fair, honest, and transparent way to do it, which is why we are doing it this way. |

If a minted seat owner wins, they could simply provide a picture of their coin with their forum user name and the current date and provide that to you - would that not prove they have the seat?
That’s an idea you could have suggested before we voted on and passed the way to do it that we decided on. I’m not sure who you expect to go through hundreds of photos to verify this, or if you’d trust the human element, but I prefer the transparent method that was chosen personally. In any event, the NastyFans seat owners have spoken with their votes, so criticism at this point isn’t really constructive. This proposal was open for votes for a month and discussed prior to that for some time, particularly in our slack chat group where fans helped to form the way the proposal was made. It also passed with a very high % of vote, so while this might not be the way every member wanted to do it, it was preferred by a vast majority. Having a larger ownership stake would be the way to have a bigger influence on future polls or you have to accept the majority vote. |

Ja Morant has really taken over his role as the superstar of this grizzlies team. He has got to be one of the youngest leaders of an NBA franchise and he is taking it well. The Jazz are currently beating Memphis and it hasn’t looked good for them since Donovan Mitchell came back, but their future looks bright as long as they can keep Ja Morant under contract. Now is Utah’s time though I think.

Also, I am still perplexed at why minted seat owners do not actually get their own ticket vs being tossed into one group.
It’s really simple. In order to definitively prove that you own a minted seat you would have to peel the coin and that is not something that I wanted to force people to do since it would destroy the collector value. This was what was chosen as the best possible solution and it was voted on and approved so that is what we did. If a different solution would have been presented and voted on as the way to do it, that’s what we would have done. |

I think anyone who is scared right now is acting a bit irrationally. The price is over $30,000. This is something most people thought would have been impossible not very long ago. I think people need to take a longer view of things and stop concerning themselves with day-to-day movements otherwise there is no possible scenario that you will actually hold your coins long enough to make a life changing profit.

Looks like the Suns are going to even the series, they had a good run in the 3rd quarter and up 12 points now. They are different now compared to game 3 as they are playing with hustle and battle against the Lakers, playing with a sense of urgency so I commend them on that.
Question is, can they keep it until the end of the game? let's find out.
The Lakers played like trash. I don’t know why all the sudden DeAndre Ayton is acting like Dennis Rodman or why the Lakers front court which is supposedly the biggest in the NBA is having such problems with him. LeBron James was the only player who is doing anything with the ball today and Anthony Davis and Andre Drummond played absolutely terribly. I cannot believe what I’m seeing with DeAndre Ayton getting so many rebounds in these playoff games. |

Sad news though, Mark Eton, formerly a Utah Jazz player, a defensive behemoth in the paint, has died from a motorcycle accident.
Indeed that is sad news. Mark Eaton was a legendary player. He was know to put up triple doubles with points, rebounds, and blocks. I believe it was a bicycle accident though, not motorcycle. Mark was known to cycle frequently. I haven’t heard much on the specifics, but it appears he was the only one involved. The NBA lost one of it’s greats today. A household name 30 years ago. |

thanks, i will look for an european reseller then. i am looking for shipping FROM europe to avoid the customs headache..
Good luck. I've shipped a few sets across the pond so I know they exist over there. I'm sure there are probably people there who offer reshipping services. I don't know of any, but they must exist. I allow people to ship goods to me that I reship to them so it can't be that uncommon. You'll just need to look around and find someone you trust, or maybe find someone in Europe with a set that they're looking to sell. Just be safe and use escrow where appropriate. |

This page is a bunch of ignored users and then me. Please spammers, you aren't going to earn enough merit on this forum to accomplish what you're going for. It would be nice if you didn't trash the place while looking for spare change. Some people want to learn and participate here. Don't ruin it for them.

Also vanity addresses are used by quite a few more than just you. Even in my simplistic small business have generated hundreds of vanity addresses for various projects other than coins even.
That's awesome. I rarely ever see them used. Even simplistic short ones would be cool to see more frequently from creators. Casascius was probably the first I saw using them (before me I believe and on a much larger scale) and I just added utilizing them for a numbering system on top of labeling a coin series. Any links to information on how you utilize vanity addresses in your business? I would love nothing more than to learn new ways people are using Bitcoin and interacting with the blockchain. I wouldn't judge them on whether or not they've outpaced Bitcoin's unmatched growth either. Nothing has, so that would be a silly criticism. Diversification in itself is it's own benefit worth paying for as any investor will attest to so creating unique methods of achieving this are always beneficial and appreciated by me. |
