I think there will always be people who say things that are politically correct but never follows it. I can resort to gambling as a means to earn something on the side or I could treat it as a hobby. My personal take on this is that you shouldn't tell people what to do with their money since you don't know how they handle it. People can gamble if they want to as long as they are responsible.
What that happened to people like the OP is that I believe he has been addicted to gambling before and that makes him to detest gambling after he was able to overcome the addiction. People like them are the ones that will always tell people to quit gambling but forgot to know that there are many gamblers that are not addicted. Some people just gamble for fun. |

March fixing is real. If you are reading sport news very well, you will see how some managers are caught for match fixing and we're punished for it. I think the punishment is that the manager would be banned in sport events. Although some can get lighter punishment but not often. I actually don't know what happened on that match Manchester City against Tottenham team. And I will also say that even if that match wasn't a fixed match there are also lots of records for match. And in Some incidents players get paid for that and there was some news also that players are blackmailed by the mafia for doing match fixing.
That is not match fixing at all. Manchester City is better and won the match. |

The report above talked about test transaction on the Lightning Network using Taproot Assets protocol, and therefore it is similar to L-USDT Liquid-based Tether, and its impact on increasing bitcoin fees will be low (Lightning Network transactions will increase, which require two onchain transactions).
News can be confusing but if the news is not confusing but true, it is about a stable coin that can be used on bitcoin blockchain. That means the stable coin transaction will make use of bitcoin and these can still make the stable coin transaction to be having a very high fee just like USDT on Omni layer. Or probably my assumption may be wrong but we are going to know after the project has been finalized and done. Let us see what would happen. It can also be that the stable coin can later be able to be like the bitcoin on the lightning network with opened channels. The developers of the stable coins are more pros in lightning network which will not make this not to be surprising at all. If this is it, the transaction will be cheap for those that like it. But I will prefer to use lightning network for small amount of money. |

I noticed this on beginners & help board before but it has stopped. I am active on gambling board but I do not notice it. I do not think you are correct about the gambling board. You can bring evidence. I  noticed an usual trends lately in the discussions board most especially Bitcoin discussion, gambling discussion etc, members rush to make a short comment just to reserve the first spot on the page, and after a while coming to edit it with the full text, this make no sense to me, and no signature campaign demands that you must be first to comment at least none that I know. I have seen this before and I created a thread about it. The user PM to lease lock the thread but I later decided to lock it. That was the last time I saw the person did it. If you notice anything like this, you can easily use ninjastic.space to get the original post of the person which is enough as an evidence and post it on reputation board. |

No. If you want to mine bitcoin, you need to read about ASICs which are the mining machines used for bitcoin mining since many years ago. If you mine with laptop, it will not be profitable for you because the CPU hashrate will be very small. You can research about Bitmain Antminers which can be a good start. Read the OP of this pinned thread: BITCOIN MINING INTRO & RULES OF THIS SUBFORUM - READ BEFORE POSTING |

If you ask me, what is the hardest job? Then perhaps my answer will be the investment profession. It is a truly unique and harsh profession compared to other professions. Especially with Bitcoin and a volatile market like cryptocurrency.
I do not like how you started it that bitcoin investment is a job. See it an a passive way of making money as long as you can hold it and not considering of selling it even if it is falling in price. As I said, investing is a profession that is extremely different from other professions, especially with Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market. The way legends make money is not mainly from buying and reselling transactions, but from "waiting".
This is true. If you wait, the price of bitcoin will still increase. Those that is losing small and sell their coins and people that do not know about trading are the ones that you are referring to gamblers. I agree with you. |

-So again the rule of thumb, do not click any links in your email, specially attachments and you don't know the source.
You can still click on some links on your email. Example is if you register on a gambling site and the site sent you email to click on for verification. What I like is what you concluded it with, that the link that you do not know about and the ones that you do not initiate yourself like the gambling site verification email that I explained, do not click on it. Even if the email is from the site like exchanges that you are usingz do not click on it because it may be from scammers or hackers using almost similar email to that if the site that you are. -Update your AV and OS
Prevention is better than cure right? I prefer to prevent to install malware instead. Preventing it is not hard if you know what you are doing. -And again, we should always protect our account/password/crypto wallets. There nothing more than educating ourselves from this kind of attacks as obviously we are the heavy target
If you have huge amount of money on your wallet, use a cold wallet instead of hot wallet. For small amot you can use hot wallet and avoid malware. |

These types of bet wouldn't be helpful to me but I do just sometimes go all-in if I'm reaching that certain point. I think everyone here understands what I'm talking about, that certain point when you are frustrated or something. It's really that reason that you make those foolish bets. That shouldn't be a style you know.
I have felt like this when I was losing continuously while using the martingale strategy. Recently I tried it two times recently but when I went all at ones I won the two times. I won the money from Blackjack contest on games and rounds. I eventually used $50 to win $110. But when I wanted to continue trying the strategy, I lost $39. I have played the game and lost all before which made me know that it is possible that I might lose all again. Instead of me going for foolhardy bet, I withdrew the remaining money and now in my bank account for spending after a converted it from crypto to fiat. |

of course it would be ideal to spend like days to go claim any rewards won from any lottery.
What is ideal about it? If I win lottery or anything and I won huge amount of money, I will go as soon as possible to claim the money if possible I can claim the money immediately. Some people may not check if they win very fast but know later which may cause the delay. Some people may not bother to check at all because they are thinking they can not win it. But if someone knows that he won lottery already, the person adrenaline in his blood stream will increase and the person will not take too long to claim what is his. |

Well, from what I've learnt so far about this type of bonuses that are being advertised by third parties, you can't completely trust them all to be legitimate, some or even most of them are scam.
I have not noticed this before but it is very possible. Some sites like that may want to let people that read about some gambling sites on their site to register through their referral link and use fake bonus to attract them. But it is very important for people to also be looking at the url and make sure it belongs to Stake because such offer can be from bad hackers. |

What you're friend means is airdrops come from new coins after doing tasks like promoting the project or connecting their wallet and doing some testing; they will only become free money if the project gets into the market. Unless that happens, these are shit coins in your wallet.
I will say the OP understand what he posted. He meant that if the money is high in amount, that people should not use the money to gamble. But I will say people have different opinions about what they want to use their money for. Also know that airdrop money is not free money if you were given some work to do before you can receive the airdrop. If you work for something, that thing is not free. Airdrops nowadays are not free like many years ago when people have just started to know about cryptocurrencies. |

It is called neutral tag and not natural tag. You repeated natural tag which I do not think is a typo.
Account sales should be discourage because it can lead to scam, it can be a compromised account, it may lead to ban after finding a mistake. That is why it is good to tag account sellers with negative trust.
But you are the buyer, I do not agree with Poker Player red tag. Neutral tag is enough as a warning to let forum users know that your account is a bought account. Not that you scam someone or you cheat in any campaign or participate in a contest with alts. No bad allegation against you. So why reg tag @Poker Player? Please it would be good if you change it to neutral. It is enough for people to know what you are saying. I am only suggesting it.
But why buy an account when it is simple to rank up on this forum? Many people see it hard because they are only here for money through signature campaign. Change that kind of mindset and prefer to begin with quality posts. You can grow an account successfully.

Now, to that, add that we've lost valuable members, some of which were intellectually influential, and you have an Internet board filled with mostly crap. What's the problem?
The only member that we lost recently is o_e_l_e_o, or who else? But I noticed that some members are not active like before on technical boards. Some people still see this forum educative and interesting. If mixers were not banned on this forum, many people will still later not post again. Be it as it may be now, there will surely be changes. Many people that were here in 2012 were not here in 2018 when Leo joined this forum. Many of us posting today also may no more be here in the next 5 to 10 years. |

There are two types of multi sig wallet offered by Blockstream wallet which are Standard Accounts (2-of-2) and 2-of-3 Accounts.
I am not asking if there are two types of multisig wallet on Blackstream Green, I am referring to 2 of 2 wallet. You can know that I explained it already that we know the mechanism 2 of 3 multisig is working but I want to know about 2 of 2 multisig. The question is that if it is 2 of 2, that what mechanism will be used to spend from it if you lost the 2FA because there is no way you can use Blockstream server to sign the PSBT transaction. Suppose you lost your recovery seeds which is either 12 or 24 words seeds. In that case, I don't think there is any way that you can access the funds even though the standard 2 of 2 wallet disabled if there is no transactions made in 1-year time frame it becomes a regular wallet this means you can access the funds with only 12 or 24 words seeds that you supposed to keep safe.
Without seeds, there is no way you can recover anything and I bet Blockstream doesn't have backup of your seed words.
I am not saying if someone lost the seed phrase. What I am asking is if the wallet will turn to 1 of 2 or a single public key wallet? I think nc50lc understand what I am talking about. I will prefer to stick to 2 of 3 multisig. If you create a 2 out of 3 multisig account, then you don't need Blockstream's help and signing keys to make transactions. You'll have two keys with the needed privileges to spend your coins. But with a 2 out of 2 wallet, you also need Blockstream's signature. There is a timelock period with these wallets. The 2FA will remain active if you make at least one transaction within 12 months approximately. If not, the timelock will expire, and you can spend from the wallet using ONLY your key. You can read more about it here: https://help.blockstream.com/hc/en-us/articles/900001391763-How-does-Blockstream-Green-s-2FA-multisig-protection-workI knew, all the explanations can easily be seen on the wallet. I know that I can be able to recover it but with a tool.  If you click on the recovery tool in green, it will take you to the tool on GitHub. The question is that how is the tool working? I know that I can use the tool for the recovery if the time I set for it without spending has passed. If it's the script that they used, after an approximate of 360 days,
you can spend the output(s) as a simple single-sig (CHECKSIG) without even requiring Blockstream's public key like that of a 1-of-2 MultiSig.
If this is the case, the answer is closer to "it become Single Sig" than "it become 1-of-2 MultiSig".
Another thing that I guess is that the tool can be used to recover the second private key instead of using Blockstream server for the signing, making it possible for the person to be able to use the key that the server supoose to use for the signing. Thank you all for your answers. |

What skills?
Yes skill. There are skill based casino games some examples are poker and blackjack which I know of very well. In these games of skill you require the strategic thinking and decision-making skill. You also require card counting skill as well as the skill to outsmart whoever you are playing against. Skills means the ability too do something excellently. Example is Messy that is skilled in football. It can be something that you learn and know how to do well. But should we apply it in gambling? I will say no because the more you play the games in casino or betting, you will notice that the gambling sites are only setting things up in a way that you will be the one that is losing. So what is the skills in that when their are house edge and unfavorable odds? |

If possible and a proposal accepted to not let the memepool to be higher than 10 sat/vbyte and almost all the time staying at 1 sat/vbyte. This would be what I will first prefer to do, making bitcoin transaction fee to the low almost all the time. This should be done in a way that those bitcoin tokens will not even affect it.

In my opinion, any religion does not approve of gambling. In Christianity, there is a rule: “You cannot serve God and mammon." Why does a person come to a casino? To win a certain amount of money, and accordingly, he gives in to the sin of love of money. I think all other religions also have the same resonance with the desire to become rich. But we are people, and we are all not without sin; we play and lose and have many vices that tempt us. However, firstly, do not lose your human face, and being human, no one can be honest and judge our sins as soon as we do.
There are three categories of gamblers according to Buddhism. Recreational gambling is not a sin in Buddhism. However, we might say that there are three types of gambling Ý recreational, habitual and addictive. The first type is when someone occasionally plays cards for small stakes or buys a lottery ticket to support a charity. Habitual gambling is to gamble a significant but manageable percentage of one's income on a regular basis. Addictive gambling is the inability to resist the opportunity to gamble and thus be constantly in debt. From a Buddhist perspective, recreational gambling would be considered harmless and not against the PreceptsIt is good the ways that gambling is like a sin in religion, but it should not be forbidden because as gambling can be bad, it can also be good for some people. If I am gambling and I am able to control myself and be using small amount of money, gambling is not a sin for me. But if I am getting addicted, I should know I have to quit. Not because of religion but because of my future. |
