Are we there yet?

I did mention earlier that setting a timer to count down to the launch moment would have been a great idea! It would have motivated you to avoid messing up the launch window. 

I can understand your frustration, but I have to disagree. While the website may be gone for now, raising a flag and sharing your experience with others can still serve a purpose. By doing so, you can potentially prevent others from falling victim to scam in case the casino ever comes back and resumes business. Right now, we still don't know if the site's outage is just temporary or if they have indeed closed their doors for good. As you can see from the previous comments, their other domain is still active. So, we'll have to wait and see how the situation unfolds.

This is what Republican Congressman James Comer said in an interview on Fox News, but The Washington Post's Fact Checker article tells a different story:
The misleading claim that bank reports show Hunter Biden ‘committed serious crimes’

What if they use the borrowed money to participate in some wagering competitions or take advantage of current promotions like rakeback and boosted odds? I mean, I know there's no sure thing in betting, and their money is still at risk, but this way they at least increase their chances of paying back the loan and still making a profit.

I haven't personally engaged in this, but I assume there are people out there who methodically hunt for such opportunities. Betting can be quite the game for those seeking strategic advantage and potential profits.

Thank you both for the clarification. I seem to have completely forgotten about their old domain since I haven't used Betnomi in a really long time. (Honestly, I don't remember ever accessing the betnomi.bet domain before.)

I can confirm that there haven't been any official updates from their staff on the official Telegram channel. I thoroughly checked all the messages, dating back a month or so, starting from when the withdrawal problems began All I found were a few sockpuppets trying to "guarantee" that everything will be fine. No real word from the actual team.

Are you out of your mind? Do you want to kill a guy? 

@EarnOnVictor, Inhale, exhale! Repeat.

I have no idea what's going on with Betnomi and their main domain "betnomi.com", but I decided to check out the new domain mentioned on Casino Guru just to see if it's genuinely related to the casino or if it's a phishing site. Interestingly, I found that my old login credentials also work on the "betnomi.bet" domain. I realize I might have compromised my password, but it's not a big deal since it's just a throwaway account, and I don't plan on using the Betnomi casino anyway.

So, it seems like the new site is either legit and officially connected to Betnomi casino, or it's created by someone who got their hands on the database from the old domain. Either way, it's kinda fishy!

Op, I believe this article might be helpful to you: https://www.shakudo.io/blog/how-to-extract-on-chain-bitcoin-data

It might require a bit of Python knowledge, but even if you don't have much, you could still get some ideas from it. Check it out!

Taproot support was added in the v6.1.0-rc.0 version of BitcoinJS-lib, so I don't see what your problem is. To clarify, I'm not advocating for bloatware or using libraries for tasks that can be done manually. However, considering the complexity of the problem you're trying to solve and the potential pitfalls, especially if you're not an experienced coder, this is a perfect example of where using a professionally made and thoroughly tested library makes sense and is justified.

I'm not defending the platform here, but BC.GAME has actually responded to the accusation twice – once a month ago and again today. You can't really expect their representative on the forum to provide a more detailed explanation when the accuser didn't even share his username from the platform. Moreover, we can't determine if he received a response to his queries on the platform or if he was ignored since there's no evidence to support the claims, and we haven't heard the other side of the story yet.


I agree that resolving such cases as soon as possible is important for maintaining the overall reputation of the platform. Let's hope the accuser won't be evasive now and will provide the necessary information to shed light on this matter.

Yes, but you don't have to move funds in order to replace a hardware device (assuming you even use one for such long-term hodling).

Hardware wallet devices (especially one like this) are designed to be a practical compromise between security of funds and convenience of use (spending). For long-term hodlers, however, I think that a simple paper or metal plate with a seed phrase (without any hardware/software wallet) is still a safer solution because it significantly reduces the number of attack vectors.

According to the video, it appears that the device will be designed to be tamper-resistant. So, if you try to open it, the device will likely reset, assuming the final device is constructed similarly to the prototype. It won't be a problem as long as you can restart the device again. Let's just hope they don't take drastic measures, such as bricking the device completely.

Just to add to everything that o_e_l_e_o has already explained, keep in mind that the next candidate block is constantly being updated, just as it is visually represented on mempool.space. New transactions are added, while some others are dropped, only to be included again in subsequent blocks, all with the aim of optimizing the use of block space, primarily to maximize profit from transaction fees. This process takes some time to be processed, but it doesn't mean that miners will stay idle during that time, as that would be an inefficient use of time and resources.

It is logical to conclude that mining even an empty block is better than mining none at all. That's why nodes first send an empty block with the correct header to the miners. This way, the miners have something to work on immediately, as they compete with each other to solve the puzzle first.

No, that's not quite accurate. Mobile apps don't necessarily need to be "bound to the phone." In most legit apps, you have control over what information the app can access on your phone.

There is no problem using the forum through the phone's browser. However, as already mentioned, the problem lies in the fact that this version of SMF is not optimized to look good on all devices due to the lack of responsive design. Unlike, for example, the new forum software - EpochTalk - that was developed with responsiveness in mind right from the start.

Which means that the forum doesn't have a responsive UI design. I don't know why ImThour says it is, when clearly, it's not.

After a quick review of your profile history, I must say that I didn't come across anything notably problematic. You appear to be an genuine forum user, and from what I can see, you are doing fine!

If you have any specific topics or posts that you believe haven't received proper attention or haven't been appropriately rewarded with merits, you can report them to fillippone's thread or post them here so we can check them out.

What is the purpose of the CR2032 battery on PC motherboards? As far as I know, they are used to power the internal clock and retain the BIOS settings. Nothing more. And, in my experience, these batteries tend to outlast the average lifespan of a motherboard. I've only had to change the motherboard battery once in my life, and that was on a very old Pentium based system.

Following that analogy, I assume the battery in Keystone HW is also responsible for supplying power to the internal clock and to the security chip's memory.

No, that's incorrect. Satoshi never opted for the round number of 21 million, not for the reason you think, but from a purely mathematical model used for the distribution of new coins through block rewards.

The maximum number of coins in the Bitcoin network is determined by two factors: the occurrence of halving every 210,000 blocks and the initial mining reward set at 50 BTC per block. Approximately 120 years from now (after the 33rd halving), when the mining reward reaches 1 satoshi per block, the max coin supply will be 20,999,999.9769 BTC (I am not taking into account coins that are provably unspendable and therefore can never reach the max supply). As a result, the network will never actually reach the total supply of 21 million BTC.

Telling or introducing people to Bitcoin and getting people interested in investing are totally different things.

When we talk about introducing someone to Bitcoin, it's all about providing them with information on what it is, how it works, and what it can do for them. But if we encourage people to buy and invest in it, we end up influencing their decisions that can have financial repercussions. Personally, I have nothing against telling people about Bitcoin; in fact, I encourage it. I believe that everyone should have at least a basic idea about digital currencies and the role Bitcoin plays among them.

However, I would never try to persuade or encourage people to invest without first warning them about possible risks and threats. After all, the final decision should always be up to them and made after careful consideration, not hastily.

If we assume that you are not limited by resources, then why would you decide to buy only 2,625 bitcoins? Why not round up a number, like 3 BTC, or 5 BTC?

Why not 3.3333 bitcoins? It's a round-ish number.

If you're using Windows, which is quite likely, Windows Defender and AdBlock should be sufficient for most of your regular online activities. However, if you're not security-conscious and engage in risky behaviors like clicking on random links or opening attachments from unverified sources, no security tool can offer 100% protection.

My personal approach is all about prevention rather than fighting threats. I recommend isolating essential tasks on your computer from everyday use. Virtual systems can be helpful if you don't have multiple physical machines. Additionally, keep your main wallet offline, so it's not exposed to online threats. Taking these steps can help minimize potential threats and keep your funds safe.

I've been following your case from the beginning on that other thread and wanted to comment there, but I noticed it was already locked.

It's good that Duelbits admitted the mistake and even approved a bonus for the wait, but I still have the impression that it would have been better if they had communicated better with you as their client and explained the situation. Waiting in the dark without knowing the stage of problem-solving can be frustrating, and clear communication would have helped to alleviate that. Anyway, I'm glad it's successfully resolved now, even though it took a while.
