921  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Airdrops speculations thread on: December 29, 2023, 05:55:24 AM
I'm lucky enough to be eligible in Arbitrum's airdrop as it was totally unexpected for me.  I didn't even think about a lot about airdrops until I got in one. ..

I received my first major airdrop from Optimism a year and a half ago, but it was a meaningful choice, since I was active on 4 wallets at the same time. All that was received before Optimism was several tens of dollars and were not retro airdrops.

Let me continue the chain, I received first from Uniswap, sold it at $4 instead of holding it. I don't actively farm airdrops either (except few lately), but received several others including arbitrum, optimism — they were all received for natural activity.

One thing these airdrops taught me is never sell all airdrop, keep some and stake if lp/governance is available. There were few which rewarded for holding/staking UNI token, and optimism's second airdrop was also for delegating op tokens. This is pretty much passive way of earning and you didn't use anything from your own pocket.

Yeah but we need to rank them to the best of out abilities and show them to everybody discuss about.  We could find the next Jito this way.  Wink

I'd leave that to the reader, I only post projects that I think are good, then it's up to the reader. I have kinda high hopes from Lamina tbh, let's see how it goes.

People are free to discuss too.

With Venom, you just feel everything is fake and botted the moment you enter their Discord.  I left after a week.

yep, some projects just give that vibe that they are not worth it.

BBL#13 HBH vs MLS : DLS chase for Stars, 67 in 7 overs, Hurricanes get 3 early wickets for 6 runs in 1.4 overs, if Maxwell's catch wasn't dropped (it was hard I know), game was in HBH's hands.

Really disappointed by the play of Indian team. It seemed like it’s not the mighty Indians that are playing. We need to also praised the SA bowlers for their incredible bowling spell. The top orders have disappointed us more. Now the record cannot be broke also that is India winning a Test Series in South Africa. I hope India would have learnt where they did the mistakes, and will overcome this in the second Test.

There were half mighty Indians I would say and they played well, rest new guns failed (Jaiswal, Gill, Iyer, Thakur, Krishna), world cup loss still seems to be lingering on Rohit's head, affecting his performance, but can't say for sure.

I've been using Aegis since few years, and it's been top notch. Especially when you switch the device, just import the file and you are done.   it took some labor in start (back then there was no backup option), to manually write codes from Google authenticator but it was worth it.

Bitcointalk cause if you post about YouTube here, members will warn you about it, lol. Also, it's lot easier to communicate on forum for follow-up questions.

I still go to YT, when I need to be guided step by step, as it's lot easier in videos. But, I do not follow any channels, they are filled with clickbaits most of time, as you mentioned.

927  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Have we overlooked the many potentials of altcoins? on: December 28, 2023, 09:28:09 AM
I have always preferred alts to make transfers, especially the feeless ones (for example, Hive, there was EOS too, but it is in ashes lately and Tron requires too many TRX staked). For low fees, I usually use dogecoin, from EVM ecosystem, Polygon and Optimism are good.

What are the best coins to use at a time when there is network congestion in the main meme pool?

I assume you meant Bitcoin congestion there. If so, during low fee times, convert some BTC to Polygon USDC or Optimism USDC as you deem necessary, and use it to make transfers.

2) Redbellynetwork: https://RBNT.zealy.io

For dev tasks they are rewarding special nfts, I'm sure they will be used in airdrop criteria. If you can, do not fade on this.

For mere smart contract deployment task I used this guide [1], it'll probable rejected tho, as they wanted smart contract to be usable, I'm not even sure what I did, but I have took my shot.

I will try to find a sponsor for this event
That would be cool, but what sponsor would be intersted in an event that barely filled the first page in a month?

That may be so because op is gonna take prices from 1st of January. Should get more participants in these last few days.

For this contest I'm leaning more on a meme and mascot flavor which yielded some great results in the second part of 2023, and this momentum might very well persist throughout 2024; 3 out of 4 of these selections might easily sink 90% or more too, so definitely NFA...

agreed, but they might not last by time this contest ends.  Grin
930  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Lamina1 airdrop speculation on: December 28, 2023, 04:54:59 AM
Can we have all potential airdrops in one thread and rank them from best to worst.  I feel like many of them wouldn't be worth our time and it would be good to make everybody aware if so and leave it to the reader if he still wants to farm the airdrop.

I don't wanna rank them because I'm not sure about them either lol, I don't think anyone is, because it's all random state of affairs, sometimes airdrops you faded cause you thought it's not worth then it turns out big (happened to me with Jito).

There's also another one that I've stopped participating in as I'm starting to feel it's just a waste of my time.  I'm talking about the Venom testnet.  I feel like it's a scam...  What do you guys think?

Venom is done, look at this [1].

...Mukesh could have been a good choice...

True, I find Mukesh to be better than Prasidh tbh, let's hope he'll be given chance in next game.

Why was Shami not called for the test series? He is a good bowler for test format.

He was selected in squad earlier but apparently ruled out because he wasn't completely fit yet.

Found out that Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Fazalhaq Farooqi and Naveen ul Haq have been banned by Afghanistan cricket board from playing in any T20 league as the wanted to opt out from central contract. The situation looked similar to what happened to West Indies cricket few years back

That's new, Naveen ul Haq's absence will be a blow to LSG.

932  Local / India / Re: Beware of fake trading apps! on: December 28, 2023, 04:31:58 AM
Some time ago there was a gambling app which hired popular celebrities who were promoting the app like anything.
Honestly, I don't believe in such apps and hesitate to download such apps on my phone. I prefer gambling on desktop.
[b[But the way these sites were advertising their apps as if it will make us rich was so wrong.[/b]
Using popular celebs to advertise such appropriate because there's a large audience that watches them and get influenced.

People want to be rich/popular, so all marketing techniques are centered around that. Look at Vimal pan masala ad, I don't think there is any better reason to unfollow celebs.

BBL#13 BRH vs SYT: Heat lost their wickets like no tomorrow by end of their inning, in 16th over they had lost 3 wickets, and in last over, all-out.

Thunder kept up with RRR well until first wicket fell, after that things went downhill for them, players kept getting out trying go for shots, and they lose the game.

I lol'ed when Rahul took single of wk's lack of attention. Coetzee's face was funny.

^ and this moment wasn't added into highlights, it was this single that allowed Rahul to make century.
935  Economy / Services / Re: [PAID TESTERS NEEDED] Zenland Escrow Contract | Custom Agents | Up to $20 (open) on: December 27, 2023, 02:02:00 PM
^ thank you for inviting, here is my experience & feedback:



I was invited to resolve a dispute, where buyer was purchasing 1 USDC worth BTC.

I confirmed the details given by buyer and seller, whether buyer had actually locked 1 USDC in escrow contract as he said, which he did.

Seller was required to send BTC to buyer, upon receiving BTC, buyer would confirm and release the agreed upon USDC balance held in escrow contract.

Then, I look at the chat.

Seller says he sent the BTC to buyer and asks him to release the USDC. He gives transaction hash, which buyer says contains different receiving address than of his.

I check the legitimacy of above data and find it to be true. Now, I check buyer's btc address, if there was some mistake in giving transaction hash and if he's received the money, buyer's btc address remains empty.

Seller keeps making few more lies along the lines, and keeps pressuring the buyer into releasing the funds. Buyer disputes.

I look at buyer's profile (Zenland Team), he is old member on platform and also his profile was filled with genuine 5 star reviews.

I look at seller's profile, his profile was created this month and had no reviews on his profile.

I had nothing more to look for, buyer didn't receive his btc, and there was no defense from seller's side, he was trying to extort money from buyer by giving false details.

The seller was allotted two days to complete the transfer, and there was still 1 day left to complete the transaction, but looking at seller's shady behavior I went on to resolve dispute in buyer's favor, with 1% cut for myself, which I received promptly on my address.

Suggestions:

- as soon as I resolved dispute, it disappeared from my profile. No where to be found.

- Agent reputation page

- I personally find buyer/seller term easier than contractor and contractee.

- Quote option in chat

- Written chat in text box should stay if you by mistake reload the web page.



It was fun, let me know how I did.

937  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: My List of Altcoins - Discussion and Predictions on: December 27, 2023, 08:25:14 AM
I don't feel attracted to any of coins you mentioned tbh. Shiba Inu, already increased a lot, I don't buy coins which are already popular. Elon coin sounds shitcoin. XLM fair choice I guess, this has been in market since long time but I see no hype around it.

So you also don't buy ETH or BTC because they are popular? It is not because a coin has increased a lot, that it can't increase any further (look at Solana). Agreed on Elon coin, that is just another shitcoin that is useless and has no use; XLM is not a bad choice, but it seems there is no real development around that coin anymore and you never really a big pump (or dump) for it also.

I'd say BTC, ETH are in different league compared to others. BTC halving effect can't be ignored, ETH is widely used in crypto industry, all these new evm chains popping up are only making ethereum more popular, plus is deflationary as well.

Airdrop 2.0 for redistribution of unclaimed tokens in first drop is live, details here: https://medium.com/@LAMINA1/lamina1-airdrop-2-0-what-you-need-to-know-dfd48b275ad6

If you joined Lamina1 discord before dec1, you can claim this drop.

Claim period for airdrop 2.0 will end on dec 31.

You can also do quests on https://lamina1.zealy.io to earn beta tokens. Which I'm pretty sure will have something to do upon mainnet launch.

join our Quest platform on Zealy, (directions on how to join here) where you can complete Quests to earn XP that will be redeemable for more test tokens in upcoming community airdrops in Betanet and beyond.

Not just trading but also gambling apps. There are people trying to advertise gambling apps where people make huge profits.
Once users deposit money in it and win money they get scammed when they try to withdraw the money.

One of my relative has his money stuck in fantasy cricket app (I don't consider fantasy games anything less than gambling). He started using those because in them there is low competition in contests compared to established apps like dream11.

Sounds like good choice so far to play in middle from KL Rahul, odi and tests proved, let's see t20/ipl.Even tho Rahul might keep playing, he has minimal support on other end. Let's hope India makes at least 250.

Gill has been doing so bad lately.
