I can see it now when I put the ;dt switch at the end of the url. Like this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2561166;dt
That means it has something to do with my custom trust list. I need to look into it further...

His forum activity was rather sporadic even prior to enrolling in the review campaign. Nonetheless, he had a responsibility to honor his commitment, especially after he requested an extension for the deadline. It's either that or he should return the money. Pretty stupid way to ruin Sr. Member account.

I also support the flag.

It must be something on your end because I don't see it. Tested on multiple browsers. Do you have any userscripts, like Tampermonkey, running or something like that?

Is this the movie you're talking about? God of Gamblers (1989) - IMDb
Check out the original trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRH6m3IBXn0.

I find it hard to believe anyone could label this as a good movie, even by 90s standards! Perhaps it's just the trailer that comes across as too goofy to me. I've never actually watched the entire movie.


I agree. It's a good movie featuring Matt Damon and Edward Norton.

It's been more than a month since the OP started this discussion, and he hasn't engaged in the forum since then. Is it really necessary to resurrect a thread like this that has already concluded its course? There might not be much reason to bring it back up.

This is how I understand it: Imagine that there are only two mining pools, and each of them holds exactly half of the total hash power of the Bitcoin network. Logically, this means that each of them will mine an equal percentage of blocks in the long run.

So, in this context, the calculators don't need to know the winning percentage; they only need to determine the percentage of your hash power in relation the network's total power. Of course, it can happen that some pool is extremely unlucky for a while, but it all tend to balance out over time.

I'm not sure if Fivestar4everMVP meant for this thread to focus solely on feature films, or if documentaries are also welcome here. Anyway, a while back, I came across a great documentary that I think would be beneficial for anyone interested in sports betting.

The movie is called "Life on the Line", released in 2013, and it provides an in-depth look into the lives of the world's top professional sports bettors in Las Vegas during the most significant betting event of the year. I highly recommend it!

I understand your point, but I disagree. This is not how the software release lifecycle usually goes. The Alpha and Beta phases in software development are intended for testing the software and correcting bugs. Typically, the Alpha phase is conducted by the software development team, and the Beta phase involves the wider community or specific customers (or testers). There is no point in testing a product that doesn't even have core features completed.

After all, as I mentioned before, even Satoshi referred to the software as Beta from the time he released it until the end of his involvement in its development.

For me, USD serves as a transitional currency between fiat money and cryptocurrencies. I really don't see any compelling reason to hold a significant part of my portfolio in USDT or any other so-called stablecoin. Wouldn't fiat be a safer option in that case?

I'm not entirely sure about that. Even Satoshi himself called the software as a beta version.


and even when Satoshi left the project, the software was still a work in progress, and further improvements and enhancements were made in subsequent versions.

We can't really know for sure. They might have been unprofitable, or maybe not. They ran some decent promotions on the forum and gave the impression that they had enough funds, up until the very end.

Ever since I joined this forum, I've read about some popular and long-lasting gambling platforms like YoloDice and Luckybit that shut down. It's not uncommon in the gambling world. But the owners of those platforms did the right thing, announcing the closure in advance, giving users time to withdraw their funds, and then closing down. Betnomi's owner, on the other hand, just disappeared without a word. Looks more like an exit scam to me rather than simply going bankrupt. But that's just my opinion.

As far as I know, Kucoin hasn't been "never-KYC" for a very long time. They officially implemented KYC since November 2018. Until recently, they had a 24-hour withdrawal limit for non-KYC customers. (source) Now, KYC is mandatory for everyone.

Regarding Freebico.in, I'm still a non-KYC user, so I'm not entirely sure about the exact changes that have taken place. It's possible that the introduction of KYC was solely for the purpose of detecting and deterring cheaters.

Now, that's quite a mistake! But it's great to see that you've taken the time to clarify and apologize.

By the way, if you're looking for an official ANN thread for "Punt casino" and their representative, you can find it here. However, I've noticed that their representative hasn't been active on the forum for a long time, and the thread is practically dead, so I don't think it will be of any use to you.

This is such bad advice on so many levels. Regardless of KYC, the same principle applies as with centralized exchanges: one should never hold significant amounts on any online casino or any other online platform. And if you still believe that your advice holds merit, consider explaining it in light of recent events related to the Betnomi platform and its customers, for instance.

According to the FAQ section from the Bitcoin.org website:

https://bitcoin.org/en/faq#what-are-the-disadvantages-of-bitcoin

So, even though the Bitcoin Core software is no longer in beta, Bitoin as a whole is still considered to be "in the process of maturing". I think that's a good explanation.

Based on these calculations, it becomes clear that it will take you almost a year and a half just to break even. Considering that the Bitcoin halving event is less than a year away, I would personally opt to invest directly. Many of us anticipate the next bull run to start sometime next year and reach its peak in 2025. Thus, rather than investing in hardware, I would choose to invest money directly in BTC. The money that would otherwise be spent on electricity can be used for dollar-cost averaging (DCA), so that I accumulate even more before the next bull run.

Hahahaha! I have to agree here. I don't know what Betwrong was thinking, but I certainly don't believe that after all this time, they can simply come back with something like "Sorry guys, we were on vacation!" and resume their operations. Trust is of utmost importance in the gambling business, and once you lose it, you can hardly get it back.

You might have overlooked the fact that with his method, you must also increase the multiplier with each bet. For instance, if you place a $6 bet, you should set a x6 multiplier, which would yield a $36 return if you win. So, the total wager would be $20, resulting in $36 won and a profit of $16.

As I see it, the math checks out, but the strategy still has a flaw when you encounter a long losing streak, which will ultimately deplete your entire balance sooner or later.

No! Nothing suggests that their report is accurate. Even in the tweet they shared, Timothy Peterson stated: "I estimate that..." This indicates that it's just an estimate, and nothing more.
Even if you read the entire article in the link that Mr. Peterson shared, you will see that there is no concrete evidence of lost coins; rather, they used a specific methodology to estimate the amount of lost coins. There's no way to know if their methodology is even remotely accurate.


Based on what?

It's not an SEO issue; that's just Google trying to be "smart." Since the word "talkimg" is very similar to "talking," Google treats it as a typo and prioritizes results related to "talking" first. That's why you get the "Search instead for talkimg" suggestion below.

To work around this, you can put "Talkimg" (with quotes) in the search, and it will display the correct results from the get-go.

I think that's how it should work. When you upload one image (or several at once), your next step is to select and copy the embed codes that you'll use on the forum. Now, imagine that you forget to copy the codes and accidentally click somewhere on the website, closing the upload tab. You'd have no way to go back (unless you're logged in), and you'd have to upload the same image again. That's why the Upload button was designed to show you the codes for the already uploaded image again.

If you want to upload new images, you don't have to click on "RESET"; instead, you can simply click on the TALK[img] logo or refresh the website. This will start a new session, and the Upload button will revert to its primary functionality again.
