8561  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does card counting really work in Blackjack? on: August 03, 2019, 06:05:09 AM
As per my experience, I think the biggest drawback for me is my inability to focus to be able to sustain long runs. I don't drink when I play blackjack, but I've noticed that I'm drained myself just to count the cards. That's why I just simply play just couple of hours and if I've noticed that I'm making mistakes then I quit. Yes it takes a lot of practice, but if you don't have that energy to concentrate in long stretches I guess sooner or later you will have slips up that will result you in losing money.

Well it doesnt look like Tyson will be fighting himself any time soon

Tyson Fury To Fight Otto Wallin On September 14 In Las Vegas

https://www.boxingscene.com/tyson-fury-fight-otto-wallin-on-september-14-las-vegas--141396?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

BoxingScene.com also has learned that the Fury-Wallin fight will headline a card September 14 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Top Rank had considered taking Fury’s next fight to TD Garden in Boston, but he’ll fight a second straight bout in Las Vegas.

It's unfortunate, but they should do a rematch, people love to see them go for it again, there's uncertainty, and debate if who really wins and a match that has no sure winner should be resolved, I expect them to go against each other again in the future.

Why would it be unfortunate? They're going to do a rematch next year, there's some verbal agreement between the two already. Tyson Fury just wanted to take advantage to make more money prior to the fight. They need to hype it out and I'm sure Fury is wise enough not to lose to Wallin this September, just taking fight to keep his busy so that he won't fall on another 'personal' issue that he had before.

Anyone noticed that we have breached 17,800,000 BTC already? Which means that 85% of all BTC have been mined. And in the next 10+ years we can all assumed that 'almost' all bitcoin is mined already. Have you accumulated at least 1 BTC in your wallet?

Current bitcoin mined:  17,851,062 BTC 

At the moment miners are rewarded with 12.5BTC per block mined. In 2020 it will reduce to 6.25BTC per block mined. There is a block reward halving every 4 years so if you do the maths the very last bitcoin will be mined in approx, the year 2140.

That's why I say "allmost all" bitcoin is going to be mined in the next 10++ years because we won't see the last bitcoin in 2140. 90%-99% for me will be enough, theoretically, there's 20999999.9769 million supply, not 21 m, due to the bug in the early days of bitcoin mining.

So let's continue to accumulate at 1 BTC in our lifetime.  Grin
8564  Economy / Web Wallets / Beware: Blockchain.info phishing email on: August 02, 2019, 10:23:21 AM
It's looks like there is another phishing attempt going on using Blockchain.info

Quote
Many users including Reddit user fulber34 stated that he received an email from blockchain.info with the title as “Warning: Don’t get locked out of your blockchain” and it said that the website is upgrading their database, and they require the validation of users wallet details on their website. This can be another phishing scam as a blockchain website would never ask for validation of personal details.

Just giving you a heads-up guys, if you received such email, don't give such informations and check where the email come from.

8566  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Bounty Managers do not Determine the Legitimacy of a Cryptocurrency Project on: August 01, 2019, 01:22:37 PM
As much as I agree with you, I still believe there are some bounty managers who still have integrity to guide bounty hunters right on which project to participate in. This however should not stop bounty hunters from doing their own research intensively. There are projects that as bounty hunters if we do our own research very well, it will be difficult to get scammed. It is also very important to take time to know more about the bounty manager that is recommending some projects for us. We must be sure whether such persons have good records of successful projects they have managed before we can trust their recommendation.

Yep, that's it, there are still a handful of managers who really study the project first before accepting it, because we all know that their reputation is on the line. We have seen lots of bounty managers gets red trusted for accepting project that is really scammy. As some point in time, they have the responsibility to bounty hunters and not be scammed by this criminals. DYOR is just one part of the equation.
8567  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Year to year price levels chart on: August 01, 2019, 12:33:58 PM
I see nothing. It's useless to disscuss about bitcoin price, on 2017 ago, a lot of people very optimistic bitcoin would be worth $50k in 2018 after it bullrun to $20k, but all of them were wrong and bitcoin even dropped until $3k.

Exactly, I can still feel the excited during that time. Everyone was jumping for joy and saying that we will see another all-time-high in 2018. However, crypto winter takes over the price plummeted to $3200 and a lot of investors lost their confidence in the market. At least though we have recovered this year, so as far as predicting the price, nobody can really tell us, all we can do is hope that we can breach.

Bahrain-based cryptocurrency exchange, Rain, has acquired the Crypto-Asset Module (CRA) license from the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB). It has closed a seed round of $2.5MM USD along with BitMEX Ventures. With this, Rain has become the first licensed crypto exchange in the Middle East.

https://askrypto.com/news/2019/07/middle-east-gets-the-first-licensed-crypto-exchange/

What do you guys think? Is this the start of the Middle East crypto exchange boom?

There's a lot of money in that region, so it get's me thinking that perhaps majority of Middle East wealth will go to crypto.

Ok guys I just has this thought last night. I was watching Zion W. highlights in youtube and I was amazed by this kid, he was also a freak in nature. So this lead me to question the NBA fans here.

Which do you think is more gifted overall? The Greek Freak - Giannis or Zion who even though is too heavy at 285 lbs but can freely move around, jumps so high for a dunk and even a block and very very agile for his frame?
8570  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy or sell? on: August 01, 2019, 11:09:19 AM
As we noticed the price volatility of Bitcoin when it reached ($13k, the highest price for this year at the moment) and then suddenly the price drops at $9k.

And today bitcoin price is about $9,900. So I'm just wondering 🤔 is it now the great time to buy bitcoin or should I sell? Can you give me some of your opinions? Thanks in advance. 😁

It's pretty obvious that the price can still go up in the next couple of days. So the best advise that we can give to you is not to sell at this point. Although as you have mentioned the price suddenly went down after reaching as high as $13k. But that is the nature of bitcoin, it's very volatile and unpredictable. So If I'm in your shoes, I would rather hold for the long haul so that you can maximize your profits.

8572  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Pacquiao Vs Mayweather 2 on: July 31, 2019, 11:49:32 AM
Pacman has signed to be managed by Al Haymon beginning last year.

This is the only hope that we're clinging for now. Manny signed with Al, so there's still hope that we can see a rematch in the next two years. But then again, we have the age factor to consider, Floyd's "health comes first" attitude might seal the deal that we won't see a rematch. Pacquaio has like 2-3 good match before he really faded away so I guess we also need to move one of not seeing the two best fighters next going at it.

8574  Economy / Speculation / Re: Ascent of Bitcoin Price on: July 31, 2019, 10:29:41 AM
Do you think Bitcoin will cross its all time high of $19,783 by the end of 2019?

No. Why the price increase is slowing down, and at the current rate, we need to double it to be able to hit $19k and I don't think that investors is willing to put more money in the market. Everyone is waiting for the block halving next year.  So I'm not expecting the price to hit $19k at the end of the year, we might be lucky if we hit around $15k, but I have no problem ending the year with that price. So let's see how it goes.

Baofeng, how you get info about this site? I try to search by keyword "Electrum" without adblock turned on, but it show me only official site at the top of the results.

I have the same tools that @ socks435 uses to find other fake and phishing Electrum sites here: ⚠⚠️⚠~Beware on active phishing Electrum websites~⚠⚠️⚠ (Collection list updated).

So I scrape lots of data once in a while and see if I got a positive hit.

8578  Other / Beginners & Help / Heads-up: Is VLC Vulnerable with the latest bug report? on: July 29, 2019, 09:45:50 AM
Hello guys,

Just wanted to update you on the latest bug the supposedly, affected VLC, thus its billions of customers including myself. It is reported as CVE-2019-13615 and was reported as "Remote Code Execution vulnerability". First reported here, https://www.cert-bund.de/advisoryshort/CB-K19-0634 and found its way to the NATIONAL VULNERABILITY DATABASE - https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-13615.

However, upon a closer look by the VLC team,

[1] VLC cannot replicated the bug
[2] The bug reporter uses an old Ubuntu version and of course outdated libraries.
[3] The bug reporter didn't contact VLC but instead go to the public

So it means that there are some flaw on the bug reporting process and VLC has fixed it already one year ago.

So I guess this is just a human error, however VLC is just asking those who have reported it to contact first their team and not to panic the public.

As a software tester myself, this is a nightmare, specially if I can't replicated or reproduce the bug. So we interact with the customers as ask for more details, etc etc.

Robinhood Brokerage Firm Alerts of Passwords Stored in Clear Text

Quote
The Robinhood stock trading site is alerting users that passwords were stored in their system in human readable format, otherwise known as clear text. While no foul play was detected, this could have allowed employees or unauthorized users to view an account's password.

Any site that stores passwords should only do so in an encrypted manner and not store them in a clear text format. If stored in clear text, the passwords are insecure as employees could potentially see an account's passwords and attackers could access them in the event of a breach.

In an email shared with BleepingComputer, Robinhood is alerting affected users that "an issue" caused their passwords to be stored in a clear text. This issue was discovered Monday night and has since been resolved, but Robinhood is suggesting users reset their passwords to be safe.

I'm sure some of you are famiiar with Robinhood since they've just open up their crypto trading. So for those who have an account on that platform, you need to update your password as not to risk your account.

Jeremy Lin
Where this champion would go.  Huh

He is still a great player, what happened to him? It is true that he did not that much the last season's Finals but he still can play right? He may not be the same at the time Linsanity is a thing but I think still had it in him, just give him a chance.

What's the update about this guy, he was good during his short time but he hasn't show some consistency thus far.

He should be back with the NYK to the place where he belongs, maybe he can do some magic again.

He is still a decent player but I doubt that he can bring back the glory days of Linsanity. Damn, the good thing is that he was given the time to shine and proved his worth on the NBA, the bad thing is that he is in New York that time and rumours says that Carmelo has something to do with Lin being traded or something and the magic had ended.
