Is this topic need to exist at all?

A campaign manager decided to pause a campaign and it needs a thread to discuss.  Roll Eyes

In Reputation, this one is enough for discussion about the business from payment processing, customer support to signature campaign.

It's like duplicating thread for discussion about only one business.

Another European Finals taking place tonight! Ayoub El Kaabi has been in great form through Europa League and Conference League with a total of 15 goals this season. Don't miss out on these boosted odds to see him score anytime!
El Kaabi scored a winning goal, at 116th minute in second extra half, to help Olympiakos winning the UEFA Conference League, a first title of the club in UEFA league. He and Olympiakos make history for the club and also for Greek national league too.

Two teams in the final match played quite equally but difference was made by El Kaabi and with so limited minutes left, Fiorentina could not find an equalizer goal to pull the match to penalty shoot-outs.

Congratulations to El Kaabi individually and Olympiakos as a new champion of Conference League.

Congratulations to Olympiacos winning UEFA Conference League but also congrats for them being the first Greek team to win an European competition title.
Unfortunately Fiorentina lost again another final match, that's the sixth thought. I was afraid that this will happen eventually after seeing 0 - 0 by the end of the second half.. After all, penalties weren't necessary and Olympiacos was able to finish it by the end of the second extra time.
Olympiacos is a first Greek club which wins a title in all UEFA leagues and they make history for Greek football. 20 years ago, their national team won the Euro 2004 title as a big surprise of everyone with a goal from Charisteas and now they have a first club win a title in Europe.

Fiorentina on the other hand, lost their second continuous UEFA Conference League final match, after they lost against West Ham last season. Defeat of Fiorentina and the rank higher than 5th position in Serie A of Atalanta will not help Serie A to have more clubs in Champions League, Europa League and Conference League next season. They will have an extra slot in Champions League, which will belong to Bologna.

You are right about getting a new coach not changing everything easily and also we can’t expect the new coach should come and the team performance will change immediately
Sometimes a new coach can bring some immediate effects but such effects don't last long. They are like effects from a honey moon and end when honey moon is over. We now there is no honey moon can last forever so to change a team quality, it needs more than instant and short term effects.

The reason why I don’t support Erik Ten Hag as a coach of Manchester United next season is that he has made Manchester United become another team that we haven’t seen before
Manchester United performances are not too good in this season, you can say terrible too, but it's not right to say all responsibility belongs to Ten Hag. There are other people in the club have to be responsible for this bad season, players, staffs like medical team, sport director, scout team and can not exclude the club owner.

Quote
did we know that if Christiano Ronaldo and some players that he has a misunderstanding with and go on a loan didn’t go anywhere Manchester United will be a very strong squad in the premier league next season, Erik ten hag has spent two seasons now and the team performance remains poor, and I believe if he is still in the team Manchester United will still lose another player very soon.
Two seasons, the first one looks good but it is a bad point with his relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo. If all things leaked by Cristiano are true, Ten Hag actually is bad in his ways in handling conflicts with players and possibly it is one of biggest reasons for the club's bad performances in this season.

As Ten Hag is still a head coach, players will not raise their voice publicly but if Ten Hag is sacked or leave the club this summer, or next some years, we will know some hidden facts about Ten Hag's works in Old Trafford.

For normal transactions, yes, but if you're moving 5000 bitcoin, you want it to be confirmed as soon as possible. The $25 is not even 0.00001% of the amount transferred. Good luck finding just 0.001% outside Bitcoin when moving $300M.
I wanted to emphasize this advantage of Bitcoin blockchain by sharing this transaction.

Cheap fee when you move a very big fund and Bitcoin blockchain can give you best security for your transaction, no reversed transaction after it get some confirmations.

People in the discussion moved far beyond the main point of this thread, just about fee for big fund movement and its security. They want to discuss everything about Bitcoin blockchain and transactions here.

Inbound, Outbound, Domestic, International, a lot of rules for fee.
https://www.forbes.com/advisor/money-transfer/wire-transfer-fees/

I don't know do they charge more if you move bigger fund?
Any difference in fee by moving $10,000 and $100M?

Since last week Kaspersky is blocking Betcoin classifying it as a phishing website. Your SSL certificate is invalid.
It can be a false negative scanning result from Kaspersky or any Antivirus software. If you know well about a website, you can add it to a trusted list and ignore false negative result and the warning. For a strange website, you must be more careful with any warning from AV software.

Antivirus has never been evidence of the integrity of the platform, and it is not surprising that antivirus is not good at dealing with all applications, especially those that work according to the latest updates. Personally, I am not a user of antiviruses because I do not trust any third party easily and I would do without them if I could do without the function they provide me.
These softwares can have false positive result because they use two approaches with heuristics, and behavior analysis. Combination of these approaches from AV softwares sometimes can trigger false positive detection result.

We can not trust their warning all times especially if it is a trusted website we usually visit.
8  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This transaction shows some of advantages when using Bitcoin blockchain on: May 28, 2024, 08:30:52 AM
We could argue that this can also be achievable with other blockchains.

The advantage of Bitcoin (in general and compared to other cryptocurrencies) is the fact that we can achieve this with a network that is hard as a rock in terms of stability and security, and the fact that it's pretty much the most decentralized cryptocurrency we have right now.
It's true and I shortly noted about it too.

Transactions on Bitcoin blockchain have an extra security, no reverse.

In security, power to fight against 51% attacks, Bitcoin is a strongest blockchain, most secured one.
How many confirmations are equivalent to 6 Bitcoin confirmations

A deep dive from Jameson Lopp on it.
How many Bitcoin confirmations is enough
His tool, Bitcoin confirmation risk calculator.
https://jlopp.github.io/bitcoin-confirmation-risk-calculator/?ref=blog.lopp.net

$24.76 is too much for 1 input and 2 outputs transaction. Either the person knew what he did or waste money on fee.

The transaction is having 1 input and 2 outputs. The fee rate with the highest priority that I saw just now to send bitcoin is 11 sat/vbyte, which amounts to $1.05 if you are sending from 1 input to 2 addresses (2 outputs).

The person used legacy address. Let us assume that the 3 addresses are legacy. The fee is for segwit address is $1.05. If the person used 2 times the fee which is $2, it is enough to get the transaction confirmed faster.
What you said is true but I did not list all advantages of Bitcoin blockchain here and what bitcoin users should do like to save transaction fees with address type, inputs and outputs.

The rich like the sender of that transaction did not mind about it definitely but as you see my note, the poor with small funds, will feel this fee is expensive and they have to learn how to use Bitcoin blockchain, wallets better just to save transaction fee.

Two main points I wanted to share with this transaction are.

Bitcoin blockchain gives cheaper transaction fee for $300M transaction like this compares to bank transfers and other methods.
Transactions on Bitcoin blockchain are more secured, irreversible for big transactions like this, it is a best choice.


With recent improvements in mempool conditions, do you think we'll see sustained lower fees? Also, what solutions do you think could help make Bitcoin transactions more affordable for those with smaller funds?
I can not predict future.

You can learn about mempools, non custodial wallets, fee rate and consolidate your small inputs or make transactions when you can save fee.

Fees are low, use this opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs
9  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / This transaction shows some of advantages when using Bitcoin blockchain on: May 28, 2024, 05:40:49 AM
The transaction has its value is $383,218,948 and transaction fee is 35,700 satoshis that equal to $24,76.



Bitcoin transaction fee is still not cheap enough for everyone but mempools are better recent weeks, people have better conditions to move their bitcoins with cheaper fees.

That big transaction above is very beneficial for people who have big fund and can use Bitcoin blockchain to move their fund on chain, with cheaper transaction fee than if they do it through bank transfer. Transactions on Bitcoin blockchain have an extra security, no reverse.

It is still expensive for people with small fund or the poor to feel feasible when using Bitcoin blockchain and spending fee.

Pep Guardiola is a manager that deserve a massive honor from Manchester city fans, because is not easy to see this kind of manager that will help his team to win premier League title many times, and he has make Manchester city financial level to increased higher for their management to have huge amount of money to purchase any kind of player they want.
Manchester City won some Premier League titles before appearance of Pep Guardiola as a head coach in Etihad stadium. They did not sign contracts with him to only win Premier League that is not their main concern.

Their main concern is Champions League and they only won it once during Pep era but in Premier League, with Pep Guardiola, Manchester City started to play more stable and won Premier League more regularly. Their domination in Premier League only appeared under Pep era and this is big contribution from Pep for their club history.

Klopp is respected and considered as a legend in Liverpool after many seasons there but in total won titles, he won less than Pep with Manchester City. Manchester City have to give Pep Guardiola proper recognition and respect now and in future when he will no longer be their coach.
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stablecoins on Bitcoin blockchain, new crowd in announcement? on: May 28, 2024, 01:14:10 AM
Yeah I was just going to mentioned this. I first started to accumulate Tether when I traded it on Poloniex. It was the first exchange that supported stablecoins I think.

And back then it was only available on the bitcoin networking under the OMNI network. Only years later it was added under Tron and Ethereum.

After the competing chains started to show up, the volume quickly died on OMNI network. Many reasons. For one it took a long time for the transactions to confirm like Bitcoin transactions and another is that the transactions were large. And this was at a time of high fees and hence many found it easier to use ERC20 tokens on the Ethereum network.
OMNI layer is where Tether stable coin USDT appeared a first time. Later because of 2017 and 2018 bull run, hype and congestion by Bitcoin Cash attacks that cause transaction fee on Bitcoin blockchain and OMNI layer very expensive, Tether company decide to deploy their stable coin on Ethereum blockchain.

Later and later, it is deployed on other blockchain like TRON to give Tether users more options to choose and get cheaper transaction fees.

Some information cross chains like ETH, BSC, Tron, Polygon, Ton & Solana can be checked there https://gasfeesnow.com/

1. There is something that is more important than investing or becoming a holder, that is a job secured, do not dare become a crypto investor or a holder if you can't feed yourself daily, in this condition you need the job more than anything, and this is what will determine the outcome of your long term holding.
This is really true. People only can retire from jobs if they earn big enough from investment or trading in cryptocurrency market and there is another important condition, they must do this one before retirement.

They must cash out a big part of their portfolio, big enough to use for retirement, even they will no longer be able to find a job in future and if their investment or trading with rest capital after cash out going very bad.

It's easy to get big money in this market but to keep it safe, it is big challenge too. Financial condition can change very quickly in cryptocurrency market, even after one day, a week or some months.

Why will the number of bitcoinsBTC in circulation be limited to 21 million Huh?
It can be changed but will community support any fork to increase the total supply to 21 billion?

No. Because scarcity is one of things to make Bitcoin value.

How is the 21 million Bitcoin cap defined and enforced

It may worth mentioning that the total supply of bitcoin isn't exactly 21 million. That's 20999999.9769 BTC.
It is described in Controlled supply.

After each halving, Bitcoin miners need more time to mine 1 BTC equivalently to previous epoch. Equivalent Network Time

Empoli put on a very good match. With this match, many spectators were very enthusiastic because up until the final minute, Empoli was still able to score a goal and m'baye niang managed to score a goal in the final minute, ultimately making Empoli win this match. It is true that with this victory, Empoli managed to survive the relegation zone and still have the opportunity to show their skills again in the Serie A league next season.
Empoli exited the relegation zone by beating Roma and they will stay in Serie A after all. Roma did not have clear target for this match after Atalanta won in their early match and took over the fourth position from Bologna. This means Serie A will only have five clubs in Champions League next season and no special appointed slot for Roma.

Atalanta can get 3 more points and take over the third position from Juventus too but it's not concern of Roma and many other clubs in Serie A, except Juventus. Because with result of matches hours ago, all slots for delegation, slots for Champions League, Europa League and Conference League are all clear.
16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: May 27, 2024, 02:09:35 AM
When 2 teams go to the final it means they are the best team among the other teams and basically both teams are at the same level, the only difference is experience. Indeed, based on the squad, Real Madrid looks better, but there is no guarantee that Real Madrid will definitely win, the Europa League final is an example when a strong team like Leverkusen is defeated so the same thing could happen in the Champions League, right?
In results, they are two best remaining teams and will compete with each other for the title. Though their quality can be the best and only among the best but their mentality strength is actually best.

I am strongly belief in strength of mentality of teams that already passed through many opponents along their ways to the final match. No doubt about Real Madrid's quality, mentality but Dortmund actually are not bad in quality and their mentality must be strong to win against strong teams like Atletico Madrid and PSG in knock out phases.

A closest comparison is Atalanta in Europa League and that team created a big shock by beating Leverkusen with a big difference in the final match last week. Dortmund don't need a big win and they will need to continue their defensive strength and try to score a winning goal, even only one goal to win the final.

I lost my bitcoin wallet, I have the key but lost the wallet, it was saved on an external hard drive but was stolen from me,
how I can get my wallet back?

the second question, If someone have bitcoin and have the bitcoin address, but lost the wallet, can the bitcoin be retrieved? and transfer to another wallet?
If you lost your external hard drive that has your wallet file inside, it's big risk to lose your bitcoin.

I believe you actually know addresses in that wallet, with your bitcoin stored there, check these addresses on Bitcoin block explorer.

List of useful Bitcoin block explorers

If you see balance is 0, you already lost your bitcoin. Nothing more to do.

If balance is not 0, and your bitcoin was not moved to new addresses, you must do a next step as soon as possible. Import your wallet, recover it with private key or mnemonic seed and move it to a new wallet. Send your bitcoin to a new address in a new wallet, because you must assume that old wallet already lost, someone will have access to it and can steal your bitcoin.

Since Black rock and Greyscale among others are very powerful in the financial world, are they powerless in politics? Because I believe they will benefit even more if someone who supports crypto to the core is elected as the new president of the United States.
They are not powerless if you know the FTX fiasco. Sam Bankman-Fried actually got a lot of support behind the scene, through his lobby and he got it from relationships of his father and mother. If you search about his history, you will see that SBF donated a lot of money for politicians before he got troubles with FTX collapse and went to jail.

He had some meetings with SEC. chairman but by some secrets, the chairman did not see anything strange in operations and fund treasury of FTX exchange and Alameda Research.

It's show that institutional companies have power in politics that benefit them in business operations. BlackRock has nearly 100% approval rate with their Spot ETF applications, no coincidence.

You can reference this Some suggestions if you want to use tables on Bitcointalk with many template table formats to use.

I got this problem a lot when I was not familiar with table and if you don't have a draft, you will have problems to check it or even lose what you are composing.

My practice is I copy the format like this one.

Either way Bologna will have a place for UEFA Champions League next season, whether they finished fourth or fifth. I find Atalanta quite in form this period especially after picking UEFA Europa League from Bayer Leverkusen by three goals.
Anyway, top positions are almost fixed but relegation zones teams represented by Empoli up to Cagliari are still in doubt about which team to relegate from it.
Both Bologna, Juventus and Atalanta are already got their tickets to Champions League. Their ending positions in Serie will only affect their money rewards from FIGC a little bit. A bigger thing to view is will Atalanta complete this season at a fourth of third position. This is important for Serie A and AS Roma because if Atalanta get good points from their 2 remaining matches, and complete this season at a position higher than the fifth, Serie A will not get a sixth ticket to Champions League and Roma will have to play in Europa League.

If Atalanta win both matches, they will surpass Juventus and take the third position. If they win only one match, they will take a fourth position from Bologna and how many points will they get in last two matches is interesting to see.
