Well that explains a lot. As long as there are multiple points of communication handled by different people it is going to be interpreted as a good sign.

If it is a one-man business

Doubt it. eXch (OP) uses perfect English, while the exch.cx website and the support messages use slightly broken English.

An exchange as big as eXch can't be ran by one person and I don't think they have been infiltrated by law enforcement. Atleast we now have a response and things should go smoothly from here.

RESULT:

Spain 2-1 England

Spain are the winners of the Euro 2024 tournament. Congratulations to Spain, they were the best team in the tournament. As for England, they started playing much better after they equalised but in the end the second goal from Spain was enough to win the game.

Manchester United have signed Joshua Zirkzee for £36.5m from Bologna on a five year contract. At 6ft 4in the Netherlands international is different in build to what we see as a conventional striker but it seems a lot to pay for someone that still needs to prove himself. He has scored 12 goals and managed 7 assists in Serie A last season but does that equate to a large sum?

The final takes place today:

Spain vs England

How many people here would think England will beat Spain? I am confident Spain will win the game because they have been excellent throughout the tournament. England have only managed to get to the final through good fortune even though they played abysmal.

It did seem as though Joshua was trying to bully Dubois in a way that was supposed to demonstrate he was allowed to say and do what he wanted yet Dubois was supposed to sit there and accept it without responding. Anyway, the poll is far wider of the mark than I anticipated at this point. Seven votes have been case with five in favour of Joshua and only two in favour of Dubois. I hope we see more votes in the poll.
6  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ POLL ] The Rematch: FURY vs USYK 21st December 2024 on: July 13, 2024, 04:44:28 PM
If they faced each other in a scenario that saw Dubois beat Joshua and Usyk beat Fury, my opinion on their unification fight would be based on their manner of their respective wins. Other than that, I absolutely agree, on current form without a doubt if Dubois and Usyk faced each other today I think Usyk would win (probably by virtue of the judges scorecards).

As for that punch, it really was difficult to understand how Usyk reacted to it. He was definitely hurt but as you rightly pointed out, Dubois did not manage to finish off Usyk and instead it was Usyk that showed his true talent and calibre to turn the tables and win the fight.

Both Usyk and Fury will be watching the Joshua vs Dubois fight either at ringside or on television as one of them will be facing the winner next year. I wonder what they will be thinking when the fight ends and the winner in known.

It's 50/50 for me but only Usyk will know the ultimate truth and everything else is speculation and wishful thinking. I've never seen anyone go down like that from a body shot and the way Usyk reacted it was more like he'd been hit in the bladder or balls to be honest. People don't tend to shake from a body shot either but they can with a brutal hit in the groin. During the fight I did think it was a genuine body shot, but on replays it's 50/50 and ultimately depends on the ref's instructions. Either way and at the end of the day, Dubois failed to capitalise on it and should have gone in for the kill but let Usyk recover and regain ground and ultimately beat him. I do think Dubois should get another shot at some point especially if he beats AJ but I would expect the same result.

This Sunday the winner of the trophy is going to be decided. I'm still hoping for England to break their bad luck finally and help my bet win at the same time as well.  Roll Eyes  But I'm aware of the fact that Spain are a really dominant favourite in this match. Their football is much better than Southgate's. I don't feel like England can win in regular time but if it extends to extra time or even penalties then I believe England would have a better chance.
Well, history has shown us when it comes to penalties the best team does not always win. Spain and England both will try to settle the game before the 90 minutes full-time whistle is blown.

Thank you for mentioning him. You just brought back memories of that magnificent footballer, the great Brazilian genius Ronaldo Luís Nazario de Lima known simply as either Ronaldo or Il Fenomeno.  And what a name the media, teammates, opponents, spectators and commentators had for him, he really was a phenomenon. I remember that single season he spent under Bobby Robson at Barcelona, it was one of the most amazing single season performances by an individual player ever. Simply stunning.

That goal was pure positive desperation. Not only that he fell down, but his face! Cheesy I watched it very closely on slow motion and I enjoyed how he desperately knew that it needed his everything to put that ball into the top left of the goal. But what I found so impressive about the goal is the precision despite losing somehow balance. I say somehow because when someone hits the ball like that, I believe there must still be some intention behind the entire movement. But anyway, that guy has some great years ahead of him. A hard worker, great dribbler, so far impressive finisher (one goal got taken away from him vs. France, which I think was questionable). Great player!
Still, was an absolutely brilliant strike to find the top corner with power and precision. In the end it did not help his team but that is the way things go in a football match. Sometimes results do not go the way it seems as moment shifts throughout the games.

I just got confirmation from my UK provider that my location will show in the UK when I am connecting from LUX.

While you are in Luxembourg and using your mobile data, getting that screenshot of whatismyipaddress.com to show the IP address will be an asset to you regardless of (and in addition to) the emails various telecoms have sent.

Well said.
Seems like Razor, as in any other accusation he replied in, doesn't deem it necessary to follow up stuff. Rollbit is always right and the customer is 100% at fault, always. Nice approach they are presenting here.
Though my opinion means nothing, Rollbit certainly could have handled this matter in a way that would have seemed more sensitive towards the dilemma the OP is facing. They must have their rules to follow but in the end they have to find a balance between their protocols and the customer/client when these situations arise.

And about the signature guys, this also jumped out for me. When I represented BC and thought they handled the case wrong I also called them out and even spoke to the representative in private to find a good solution for both sides.

Even the rollbit campaign manager gave me an unpleasant feedback for calling the site out, basically feedback abuse.
Can you provide a link for where/when you called Rollbit out and as a result received the feedback abuse? I have known Hhampuz for many years and have never associated any sort of feedback abuse with him. He is one of just a tiny number of forum members that I would trust in real life.

Keeping that aside, if any casino or gaming website is doing the wrong thing, I am sure many members including those that wear signatures associated with them will ask questions and take a stand. Even though many Rollbit campaign participants have not been posting in this thread, the ones that did seem to have consensus that Rollbit are treating the OP unfairly.

I could be wrong but I do not think there is an automatic conspiracy by default between the websites promoted by signature participants and the wrongdoings of those websites. Having that mindset means almost every member in this forum is corrupt when the reality is to the contrary.

Simons scored a brilliant goal. It seemed as though he put all the power he had within him through the strike therefore lost balance as he hit it. I think the penalty against Netherlands was very harsh but after watching replays I understood that if the high boot connected with Kane anywhere else on the pitch it would have been a free-kick therefore for England. I think you can understand why the referee awarded England with the spot kick.

We all know Spain has been brilliant throughout the tournament and England have been below average but both sides need to reset. I hope the best team on the day wins the final.

I thought the Netherlands would make it, but it was the first time the English team lived up to their potential while the Netherlands couldn't handle the heat. Awesome goal by Simons, very questionable penalty that took away some of the initial confidence from the Netherlands, and then England was the superior team after all.

It is going to be a great match against Spain for sure, but I'd see Spain as being the 55:45 favorite.

According to the blog, zkSNACKs did not shutdown. They simply closed their co-ordinator and they will continue funding WasabiWallet.


What about this Kruw?

What is the latest with regards to your relationship with zkSNACKS? Can you clarify whether you are an employee of the team behind WasabiWallet or are you just someone that proposes code changes and they have no relationship to you and you to them? I asked because when I read in your bio "Contributor to Wasabi Wallet" it does not define the extent of the relationship between you and them.

zkSNACKs shut down a month ago:

Are these pictures from similar minutes and seconds during the fight? If they are from the same time, I reckon picture on the bottom shows that it is on the beltline because it is the best angle from where everyone can see that the boxing gloves of Daniel Dubios has touched the midsection of Usyk.
It is supposed to be the same punch at the same time from different television camera angles without any time between them.

Low blows can also lift the crotch cup up which can add further injury and may be what actually caused Usyk so much pain and discomfort as Usyk's reaction was more like he'd been hit in the balls.
If you watch the fight again you will see there are a substantial number of punches that Dubois threw in the same area on the belt after that punch yet Usyk did not fall to the floor in agony nor complain about it being a low blow.

It is possible Dubois caught Usyk with a fair punch that he did not expect therefore he went down in agony, I am not going to dismiss that possibility. Usyk said it was low, the referee said it was and that is what matters. I think Dubois deserves another opportunity in the ring with Usyk but for that to happen he must defeat Joshua in September and then Usyk must defeat Fury. The results of both fights are going to be very close to call (though for many Usyk and Joshua will win their respective bouts).

Even though you are in Luxembourg it should show a Spanish IP address, this is a very simple thing for you to do. I understand the point about unlimited data on your sim therefore you have no need to use wifi however you could have taken screenshot of what you see when you open the following website: whatismyipaddress.com

To address the Wifi point, I spend a lot of time at work where the Wifi is capped (cannot access many sites such as even youtube), therefore I always keep the Wifi setting off on my phone, given that I have unlimited mobile data anyways this has never been a problem for me.

For clarity, if you are currently in Luxembourg, can you use your phone with your regular Spanish sim and open a browser without using any sort of VPN and then take a screenshot of what you see when you visit this website: https://www.whatismyip.com

According to the screenshots you provided earlier, it should be showing a Spanish IP address because of EU regulations (even though most would have thought it would be a local Luxembourg IP address) but a screenshot can settle the issue.

It does look as though the WasabiCoordinator.IO member has decided it is not worth their time trying to defend their reputation. We probably will not see them post again under that name.

I would appreciate it if @WasabiCoordinator.IO would comment about this here.

I did not know whether Rollbit accepted the contents of the email and either way adding a screenshot of the output from his phone browser will not take time. Still, if that part of the issue has been resolved because Rollbit have accepted it, that is a good thing and the other issues can be addressed.

Part of what this incident has shown is that the terms and conditions can (rightly or otherwise) be used as and how any casino deems fit. Though not specific to this case, what seems to be the case is that if a member has used the service to deposit and withdraw from an accepted location there is no problem but on a few occasions for example while travelling to a location for a holiday or family visit to a restricted location and decided to either place a bet or withdraw, it could cause a problem but depositing funds from restricted areas would not be a problem until they use it as part of their case to withhold funds.

Add to that the issues of EU roaming IP addresses then the matter becomes more complex because casinos can apply their terms and conditions with any interpretation they want.

I am new to this thread but have read up on most of the details and do feel sympathy for you because $64,000 is a lot of money.[...]
Umm... the situation with Spanish provider is --I believe-- already cleared and it's no longer an issue. Vodavone gave an official email, explaining that even if OP accessed the internet from LUX, his IP will still show as ES.

Whatever his beliefs about analysis when attempting coinjoins, that should have been where is focus remained. When he started defending his action and started insulting members (and especially attacking a highly respected recently departed one), he stooped low in to gutter levels of disgrace. He has no way to get back in to any positive light of most members here.

Maybe he promoted his services after his reputation fell because he just cannot control that overinflated ego.

Kruw dug an early, deep grave for himself, but his arrogance and ill ego wouldn't let him get back to any form of normal senses. Sometimes I even wondered why he wasted his time advertising around here after showing how toxic he is.

Either by himself or others, him being labelled as an innovator by any stretch of the imagination would be a gross misrepresentation of the facts. When someone claims they have the means of generating unlimited money, they should be not be wasting time by posting their delusions of grandeur here, instead they should generating more of that so-called money. He cannot be taken seriously.

We as innovators, have no free-space to operate.

You are not an innovator, snowflake. (sorry about my previous post that called you a bad name and got deleted)

Your project is akin to one developed in the late 90s.   No oversight, false promises and ugly designs.   Today's projects are open source and proveable -  do you even understand what bitcoin is?

I wasn't sure who to bet on until a few hours before the game, but I settled with England, and fortunately, this was my biggest win of all.
Congratulations on your win  Grin

I don't know why that is a suprise for you, Gareth Southgate knows how to gets to finals but winning it, is were there's a curse. I was watching the game with hope knowing England could turn the table around and they did eventually, making it back to back finals for the three lions. I got this feeling, this might just be the attempt they finally lift a trophy. England luck has just being their best player in this tournament.
On playing quality alone, England clearly do not deserve to anywhere the final whereas Spain have been the team of the tournament. Southgate might find a way to get to finals and semi-finals of these huge competitions but they are not playing convincing football, on many occasions they seem vulnerable in defence and seem lost when it comes to midfield ideas. They are also not making most of any of their opportunities in front of goal as their strikers are finding the back of the net.[/quote]

At the moment, the odds for the final are as follows:

2.40 - 2.90 - 3.55

Spain is the favorite, but is rated significantly worse than 50%, England is worse than 30%. It seems that everything looks +- fair, but it seems to me that Spain is undervalued and there is value at odds of 2.40.
In the final, motivation (or rather adrenaline or, on the contrary, destructive excitement) may change the balance of power of the teams “on paper”, but if these were ordinary games, then I would say that Spain should be rated as 2.0
By far most providers will keep odds on Spain winning. We know it is a final and anything can happen but Spain are playing excellent as a team, they can absorb pressure when they are in defence and they can attack with ease when going forward. England look tired and beaten before the game has even kicked-off.

Honestly, this year's Ballon D'or shortlisted players are arguably the worst we've seen since it was founded, with Vini and Bellingham both ahead on the power ranking - I mean, Foden and Palmer had better individual seasons than these guys. This is not to say that any of these players deserve it, but it is worth noting that Madrid PR has done more harm than good to this award over the years. None of these players deserves it more than Rodri, but football these days is all about goals and assists, with no mention of ball recoveries and game influencing.
What has to be addressed is the era of Ronaldo and Messi dominating the Ballon d'Or is over, they will never win it again.

I remember Ribary, he played stunning football almost consistently with Bayern Munich during his 11-12 year there especially when they won the treble with that excellent 2012/13 season. Ribery was nominated for the Ballon d'Or alongside Ronaldo and Messi but ended up third and Messi was second while the winner was Ronaldo. Even in 2021 and 2023 when Messi was awarded the wins they not based on merit they were politically based and definitely unworthy. The Ballon d'Or has no real value left except being an expensive publicity stunt.

When someone so reputable is gone for a month, I'm not worried about their integrity. I'm worried about their physical wellbeingness.
If it is a one-man business (or one that has just a handful of staff but only a select one or few has access to the servers), then if physical health becomes a factor it could take a lot of time to resolve. I suppose a lot of the confusion and theories could have been removed as possibilities if they had made a post when they logged back in to the forum. I hope these issues are not related to people operating the business being affected with any sort of health conditions.

In ideal conditions where everything works perfectly, everyone should have customer support within a reasonable time. However, life is full of unforeseen situations that, unfortunately, few people today have an understanding of.
That is true, life certainly is full of unforeseen or unanticipated circumstances. Even in the most ideal situations, there are going to be eventual occasional bumps and blips along the way (but I think the issue being raised by several members here is the length of time involved).

I am new to this thread but have read up on most of the details and do feel sympathy for you because $64,000 is a lot of money.

When you stated there were never any issues when you deposited and withdrew around $60,000 over a two year period but on this occasion when the sum reached $64,000 it became an issue, this is something all casinos and gaming websites should look to improve. If they can block withdrawals based on their terms and conditions then surely they can block deposits on the very same terms and conditions too.

This does seem extremely harsh and unfair.

For clarity, if you are currently in Luxembourg, can you use your phone with your regular Spanish sim and open a browser without using any sort of VPN and then take a screenshot of what you see when you visit this website: https://www.whatismyip.com

According to the screenshots you provided earlier, it should be showing a Spanish IP address because of EU regulations (even though most would have thought it would be a local Luxembourg IP address) but a screenshot can settle the issue.

Hi everyone, Rollbit got back to me with the following email (see attached below), I am still drafting a response and will send a draft across here first, but I think their arguments/points in their email are deeply flawed, at least they have admitted the point on the mobile phone IP location.

1. They suggest that the due to me living in the UK currently (I still have not moved and still reside in LUX), voids the fact that I lived in LUX when using the account. This argument does not hold up, as I have been residing in LUX throughout the time of opening and using my account, therefore it is irrelevant where my current location is (again, I am still in LUX).

2. They argue that it is "extremely unlikely" that I reside and live there given there have been no IP hits. This has been explained in length, but I only used my phone to connect to Rollbit and I always use my data as they are unlimited. I believe a KYC will help them place me in LUX for the time I have been using the account (and currently).

3. They ask why wouldnt I use my Wifi even at home, and the fact is that I always use the data on my phone given I dont have restrictions on usage.

Could you please help me on some proof or suggestions I could make to them so we can move the case forward?

Thank you very much
