8341  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tyson Fury vs Otto Wallins on: September 25, 2019, 04:06:26 AM
For those who are interested in the numbers for the Fury vs Wallin fight:

It generated almost $1 Million in live gate tickets alone, according to this article:

Quote
The unbeaten and outspoken heavyweight from England survived a hellacious cut over his right eye and a stiff challenge from lefthanded Swedish contender Otto Wallin to emerge victorious in a unanimous decision win. Their Sept. 14 headliner at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada produced high drama in the ring, along with $999,722.50 at the live gate.

The box office total was derived from 3,577 tickets sold, according to final receipts as confirmed to BoxingScene.com by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

https://www.boxingscene.com/fury-wallin-generates-nearly-1-million-from-3577-tickets-sold--142826

So it did get boxing fans to watch the match live in Vegas and it proves that Tyson Fury can bring fans of his own. So it's going to be interesting what could be the possible numbers when Wilder vs Fury rematch happens. Wilder is also a draw, make no mistakes about it, but for me it looks like Fury is the A-side here, just saying.

Sa personal experience ko, at least 20 minutes interval and ginagawa ko o higit pa, paminsan minsan lang ako mag post ng below 20 minutes kasi baka sabihin na post bursting ako ni yahoo. Pero siguro depende din sa manager yan, kay Hhampuz may nakita ako dati parang every 5 minutes may post pero hindi naman inalis. Pero syempre sa mga batikan dito, bago ka makapasok sa isang campaign sinisilip ang posting habit mo kaya mas maganda na maumpisahan mo ng tama na kahit 20 minutes interval siguro ok na. Lalo na sa mga busy o kaya post ng isa tapos basa basa at ikot ikot ka sa forum para dagdag kaalaman. So minsan 5 post a day lang ako, pero may araw na ang daming magandang topic at naka 8 post ako max sa current campaign ko.
8344  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Bitcoin Block Halving on: September 22, 2019, 07:40:15 AM
Kaya ngayong halving at least ma witness natin ang cycle kaya kung baga mga first timer tayo karamihan. Base kasi sa nakita ko ring mga reply ng mga Legendary dati, mga ilang linggo or buwan bago pa talaga nakita ang epekto ng block halving.
Feel ko nga yung epekto ng block halving ay nag umpisa na nung start ng taong 2019.
Remember we dropped around $3,000 around last month of 2018 tapos pagdating ng 2019, bounce back to $6,000 and climbed upto almost around $14,000 last few months yan ay less few months bago ang halving.
Kasi sa nakita ko sa mga chart sa previous halvings, hindi days before halving nagkakaroon ng malakihang impact sa price ni Bitcoin.

Oo, kaya nga last bottom prior to halving as $3000.00 kaya importante tong price na to kasi dito tayo magbabase kung gaano kataas ang magiging epekto ng susunod na halving. Hindi overnight ang pagtaas ito lang pakakatandaan natin, maaring months pa tapos maraming paring pagdadaan na correction along the way bago natin ma achieved ang all time high sa future o pagtapos ng block halving. Kasi kung base sa previous charts, 500 araw ang bago naganap ang all time high, tapos sa sumunod na halving 1000 na araw bago rin ang all time high na halos $20000.00. So kung $3000.00 ang last bottom, hindi natin alam kung ilang araw from $3000 bago makamit ang all time high, posibleng 2000 na araw o mahigit pa. Basta pag handaan na lang natin.
8345  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bakkt is coming: will this be biggest crypto week ever and set off bull run? on: September 22, 2019, 06:52:32 AM
I dont believe it will mean much to the price. It is mostly for the large corporate investors to make their move with the swing of the price. Nothing more but making the rich get richer..
only this time around in crypto. Roll Eyes

It's pretty obvious that there's some kind of manipulator from either whales and institutional corporation who have been inside the market prior to bakkt. The price is just hovering around the $10k, so sorry for those who expects something big is going to happen because big players have change the game and put it to their advantage. As you have said, richer becoming rick as f**k. That's how it is and us average joe's just need to swim with them.
8346  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BAKKT launching tomorrow but BTC price falls? on: September 22, 2019, 06:06:53 AM
Why isn’t the official launch of BAKkT driving btc prices up but instead it’s going the opposite way?

Are investors afraid of a massive dump coming up or what are the possible reasons there isn’t any traction for BTC price ?

I guess no one is really excited about bakkt, or there are manipulators behind and push the price a bit so that they can buy cheap coins prior to the bakkt launch. Anyways, this bakkt offering is long overdue and people are not that very enthusiastic and eager to say the least. But we will see the impact in the long run though, it's supposed to be the next catalyst for a bull run so let's stay relax for now and see how it goes.
8347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Andy Ruiz vs Anthony Joshua II on: September 22, 2019, 05:44:39 AM

Now technically I see the 2nd fight as even more in favor of Ruiz because Joshua has had to make radical changes in his style after embarrassingly kissing the canvas so many times, now he is slimmer and trying to be more nimble,


Doesn't really matter how much Joshua slims down, he was completely outclassed in the first fight, and he really didn't even try to dodge most of the punches. He just took a full clip of punches right to the head and body practically every time he hit Ruiz with a good shot. He then just closed down, with a high guard but was still taking shots to the temple.

Even if there is strong pressure on the judges to award him any decisions, the next fight is unlikely to go the distance to reach the scorecards. Someone is getting knocked-the-f-out.

Was Anthony Joshua really outclassed during the first fight? He knocked down Andy Ruiz which was also Andy's first time to be knocked down by anyone according to some articles.

If he was outclassed, I reckon it would be more because Anthony Joshua was not fighting on 100% condition.

He was also knocked down on the same round by Andy Ruiz, Joshua should have finished that fight by round 3. Fortunately, Ruiz quickly recovered and put Anthony Joshua's ass on the floor. And from then on, you can see that Joshua is done. He can't hurt Ruiz, and Andy was coming forward with everything he got, so I would say Joshua was outclassed and never recovered from the first knocked down. His excuses is that he is looking for the Wilder fight, and not the fighter in front of him.
8348  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin up to $20,000 before 2020? on: September 21, 2019, 11:23:13 AM
Great analysis imo! https://cryptotradernews.com/cryptocurrency/will-bitcoin-reach-20k-before-2020/


My key takeaways:

  • More and more people are using crypto as a way to diversify their investment portfolio
  • Brexit is a mess and this only helps Bitcoin
  • The trade war is a mess too and this only helps Bitcoin
  • Price patterns favor a $20,000 bull-run by the end of the year
  • There is a massive FOMO sentiment amongst crypto enthusiasts


Thoughts?

Brexit and US-China trade war has been brewing for years, but we haven't seen any positive news on the price of bitcoin. So I'm not buying that because we have looming financial crisis in the corner, it will equate to the price pushing to $20k levels at the end of the year.

FOMO is already inside, specially when we hit the $10k. If there's FOMO, then we need something very positive to come in the market, so far we only have the Bakkt news, less than a week from now but still we haven't seen the FOMO as others have been expecting.

8350  Local / Pamilihan / Re: Raid on Chinese-manned firm exposes cryptocurrency scam on: September 21, 2019, 10:03:18 AM
Marahil ang ibang economic zones sa Pinas ay maglalagay na ng preventive measures dahil na rin sa exposé na ito. Kamakailan lamang eh yung mga illegal Chinese workers ang nahuli dito sa Pinas, ngayon naman dawit na ang cryptocurrency sa kagagawan ng mga Intsik. Hindi na ako magtataka kung halos lahat ng mga illegal na investment schemes ay dito mag-base sa Pinas gawa ng kakulangan ng pangil ng mga batas at regulasyon na ipinapataw natin. Posibleng maging "Malta of Asia" ang Pinas dahil ngayon, masyado pa ring unclear sa lahat kung ano nga ba talaga ang saklaw ng mga regulasyon, memorandum at mga batas na isinasagawa ng ating mga  solon pati na rin ng BSP.

Heto.

Yan talaga ang nakakatakot na posibleng mangyari sa Pinas if hindi talaga maghihigpit. At ang masamang dulot din nito sa ating mga crypto enthusiast, open na open ang Pinas sa crypto tapos mababahiran ng masamang imahe as loob at labas. Sana "Malta of Asia" in a positive way  Grin, pero baka maging hindi sa kakulangan ng pangil at pagpapatupad ng batas.
8351  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Bitcoin Block Halving on: September 21, 2019, 09:30:57 AM
Para sa akin nung mga nagdaang buwan, chinicheck ko mga nagkalat  about sa  mga halving na chart, ang pansin ko ay months before bago makakakita ng malakihang price action not the day before or the day after or on the day na halving talaga.


Sa palagay ko kumukuha muna ng momentum ang market patungong halving, kaya  months before tumataas na presyo ni Bitcoin.  Marami rin kasing mga speculation na naglalabasan at lahat ng ito ay nakakapaghype sa presyo ni Bitcoin, then dadagdagan pa ng FOMO kaya mas lalong tataas.  Hindi lang kasi future events ang tinitingnan ng mga investors, tinitingnan din nila ang history ng prior event before and after.  So pagdating ng halving magkakaroon ng bentahan yan mga ilang araw then mararamdaman yung pagbawas ng supply kaya nagkakaroon ulit ng pagtaas ng ilang buwan (post halving effect).
Last 2 years ago napansin natin ang pagtaas ng bitcoin ay before halving at mas lalo pa itong umakyat pagkatapos ng halving pero after nun bumababa na ulit ito. Kaya sana ang maging epekto ng pagtapos ng halving ay maging maganda at hindi lang ilang months ang itagal kundi taon pero dahil hindi pagnagstarstart ang halving waiting lang tayo.

Yung last two years kasi karamihan satin ay yun ang naabutan na katulad sa case ko. Hindi ko nakita ang halving nung 2016 kaya naka base na lang ako sa dating graph na pinakita talaga na hindi naman basta basta tataas ang presyo pagkatapos ng halving. Dadaan at dadaan sa maraming correction, at na swertihan lang ako at karamihan satin na naabot ang bubble nung Disyembre 2017.

Kaya ngayong halving at least ma witness natin ang cycle kaya kung baga mga first timer tayo karamihan. Base kasi sa nakita ko ring mga reply ng mga Legendary dati, mga ilang linggo or buwan bago pa talaga nakita ang epekto ng block halving.

At sabi nga rin ni @mjglqw - price in na siguro. Malamang walang malawakang galawan unless may positibong news na darating.
8352  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Spence Jr vs Porter on: September 21, 2019, 03:35:03 AM
Whoever wins this match will face Manny Pacquiao.......

Do you have a reliable source on this?
I love to see Manny fight again but I doubt Manny would allow himself to fight a younger champion like Spence.
Manny is old and has slowed down, and I don't think he can match a younger opponent like Spence, if he will fight again, it should be Mayweather as his last fight.

That's the expectation and that's what boxing fans wanted to see, for Manny to fight the winner of this match. However, you have a valid concern and I for one agree that Spence Jr really post a threat but we will see and enjoy this match, two boxers at their prime, best welterweight today so it's going to be exciting.
8353  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: September 20, 2019, 07:59:26 AM
The three superstars who defined this NBA decade

1. LeBron James
2. Stephen Curry
3. Kevin Durant

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/27637433/the-three-superstars-defined-nba-decade



I would say that Stephen Curry has more impact in the last decade as compare to Lebron and Durant. He reinvent and redefine what to be meant by shooting guards and introduce the art of three point shooting. Before that three point shooting is just being used for close games. But when Curry started to focus on the 3's GSW is unstoppable and we haven't seen this kind of potent combination, quick release and deadly. As for Lebron and Durant, we have seen Kobe's game prior to them taking the torch from Bryant.
8354  Local / Others (Pilipinas) / Re: Pilipinas - sMerit Distribution Summary on: September 20, 2019, 07:31:59 AM
Any concern regarding sa merit distribution ng ating local?
.. snip ..

Yes, at yung iba pang sMerits ay nagcicirculate lang sa iilang tao. Even I'm not active during weekdays kasi i'm currently studying pero nagoobserve pa rin ako kung san patungo yung local natin. Due to that observation, napapansin ko na iilan lang ang mga nakakatanggap ng merits sa ating local at yung iba nagkakanya kanya kahit hindi naman masyadong complex yung posts.

I think I'll spit some real talk here kasi medyo marami na rin nakakapansin, our local is kinda going down for real.  Cheesy

After maka-receive ng sandamakmak ng merits from @DarkStar_ nung June 9, 2019, bumaba at bumaba ulit yung merit distribution natin. Lately, namigay ulit si darkstar_ pero sa iilang tao lang din and obviously group of users here sa forum pero bakit hindi naka-receive ng merits yung mga posts from beginners na may sense yung post, ang madalas pang makareceive yung mga nag-gegeneralize lang ng mga posts ng iba?

Another reason kaya mas better mag-spent ng merits sa ibang board kasi yung iba tinatamad na gumawa ng reliable threads kasi nga specified na ng iba kung sino sino yung mga bibigyan nila. Ang daming efforts na hindi pa nabibigyan ng merits, katulad ng mga +2 or higit pa na binibigay ng iba sa mga low-quality threads. It might sound offending pero I think that's the reality we're facing here in local.

I think kasama ako sa nabibiyaan ng merit ni @DarkStar_, basta ako pag kaya kung makagawa ng thread na kahit simple o complex at may oras din ako gagawa at gagawa ako. Yes, I spent merits in other boards, pero pag may nakita akong deserving na post dito sa tin magbibigay ako pag meron pa akong natirang smerit talaga.

So tip lang sa ayaw magbigay ng merit dahil natatakot sila na hindi sila makakatanggap subukan nyo lang yan na experience ko. Maaring hindi tumugma sa inyo pero in the long run may makaka appreciate nito ang maari kayong bigyan ng merit. Kaya wag panghinayang ubusin ito, kung sa tingin nyo deserving yung pag sagot o talagang nakatulong sa diskusyon, sige lang diba?
If I found someone na sobrang ganda ng sagot, di na ako nagdadalawang isip magbigay pero yung ibang post na nakikita ko na sobrang basic na kahit sa social media like facebook or other platforms ay makukuha mo yung info na ganon ay nakakakuha pa ng merits. Sobrang unfair diba? Mas nakaka-gain pa kasi ng merits yung mga thread na common kaysa sa complex. Obviously, hindi nila kaya ipilit yung sarili nila to engage more knowledge about cryptocurrency, blockchain and other stuffs since this forum is tech, knowledge, discussion related website pero yung iba focused sa pera. Kaya kapag technical yung sagot, wag na magdalawang isip na magbigay, kasi hindi rin ba kayo binibigyan? Pero kapag high ranking na tao, sobra sobra magbigay?

Kahit siguro hindi masyadong technical ang sagot o ang thread na ginawa pero sa tingin ko deserving namang bigyan ng merit bibigyan ko parin. Magkakaiba siguro tayo ng mga panuntunan ng pagbibigay ng smerit. Kung hindi naman kaya ipilit baka mas mabuti pa na magtanong na lang muna sila para mag grow din ang knowledge. Siguro as we go along, madagdagan na rin ang knowledge natin lalo na mga technical stuffs, ako marami pa talaga akong gustong aralin ang nakakainis lang din talaga kulang sa oras.

Anyway, sana gumanda pa talaga ang local board board natin, minsan nadaan ako sa ibang mga boards at sinisilip ko kung gaano kainit ang mga discussions lalo na sa technical at ang smerit distribution nila.
8355  Other / Beginners & Help / {Warning}:Skidmap Linux Malware Uses Rootkit Capabilities to Hide Cryptocurrency on: September 20, 2019, 05:47:25 AM
https://twitter.com/campuscodi/status/1173926466985218049



Quote
Skidmap, a Linux malware that we recently stumbled upon, demonstrates the increasing complexity of recent cryptocurrency-mining threats. This malware is notable because of the way it loads malicious kernel modules to keep its cryptocurrency mining operations under the radar.

Skidmap uses fairly advanced methods to ensure that it and its components remain undetected. For instance, its use of LKM rootkits — given their capability to overwrite or modify parts of the kernel — makes it harder to clean compared to other malware. In addition, Skidmap has multiple ways to access affected machines, which allow it to reinfect systems that have been restored or cleaned up.

Cryptocurrency-mining threats don’t just affect a server or workstation’s performance — they could also translate to higher expenses and even disrupt businesses especially if they are used to run mission-critical operations. Given Linux’s use in many enterprise environments, its users, particularly administrators, should always adopt best practices: keep the systems and servers updated and patched (or use virtual patching for legacy systems); beware of unverified, third-party repositories; and enforce the principle of least privilege to prevent suspicious and malicious executables or processes from running.

Warning for those users Linux and other Unix like flavours system, specially those running Bitcoin's full node underneath.

As I have said in our local boards, Abra entering the picture should be received with enthusiasm by crypto Filipinos because it will open doors for competition. And with competition each one of them will try to better to be on top and it's going to be a win-win situation for crypto enthusiast. However, coins.ph (top local exchanges) are miles ahead and Abra needs a lot of catching up to do specially turn around times, KYC procedures, specially support in our local board.

Alam natin natin mas maraming competition mas maganda. So siguro ito ang intention ng Abra talaga dahil alam nila na maraming Pinoy narin ang sumasabak sa mundo ng crypto. Hindi ko pa nasusubukan bumili sa kanila. Pero base sa mga comment nyo, kailangan pa nilang improved ng kaunti para maka compete sa coins.ph na numero uno sa ngayon. Lalo na ung hindi instant, heto sigurado ko ang tinitingnan nating mga crypto enthusiast. At medyo nasanay na tayo sa coins.ph na mabilis (pero may manaka kanang issue).

Meron ba silang official na representative dito sa local natin?

France: We can't allow Facebook's Libra in Europe

Quote
PARIS (Reuters) - Facebook’s Libra cryptocurrency cannot be allowed to operate in Europe while concerns persist about sovereignty, systemic financial risks and the risk of abuses by a dominant market player, France’s finance minister said on Thursday.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-facebook-cryptocurrency-france/france-we-cant-allow-facebooks-libra-in-europe-idUSKCN1VX0X5

Libra hasn't taken off but it looks like it will have a lot of roadblocks ahead specially in Europe. I don't know what steps Facebook big brass will do, but it is going to be difficult for them specially their history about protecting their user's privacy.

What are your thoughts?

Because of this, Libra coin will take note of this, and he will make sure that all the allegations are not true or going to happen, I'm pretty sure Libra Coin are all aware of this and will try to address this issue, we all know Facebook is good in lobbying, so I'm pretty sure they are going to lobby to the European community.

How can they make a lobby if it is outside of their jurisdiction? Well, they already have plans first to lobby the US congress by hiring a group. In the US it can be done because lobbyist are very powerful entity. But I doubt that they can do it in EU though. We have seen EU's stance against them and even Mark Z can't turn the tides on their favour.

Perhaps this is just an eye opening for Facebook and Libra that government around the world are not going to let them control specially if it comes down to money. Maybe France took notice of Libra and most likely won't allow manipulation.
