Good News for Galatasary as Victor oshimen is set to make a comeback this weekend. it will be a good one if oshimen is declared fit by the doctors because Galatasary will be playing in the champions League and with oshimen on the team, Galatasary attack will be more fierce because oshimen is one player which brings a lot to the Galatasary attacking lineup.


Galatasary should do much better this season in Europe because, when it comes to Europe Galatasary has been really struggling with the way that they play. In the second game of the champions League coming up come next week I expect that Galatasary should do much better.

Osimhen's return is absolutely very important for Galatasaray. You know Icardi is still not ready to play for 90 minutes. And in this situation they have no real forwards left. This creates a big problem for them especially in the Champions League.

But I don't think even Osimhen's recovery can change anything against Liverpool in the next match there. Tongue They are still having serious defensive problems and Liverpool are one of the strongest teams in the tournament at the moment.

Agreed, Liverpool is class above Galatasaray, and even Osimhen couldn't make the difference there. Today Galatasaray faces Alanyaspor at their home. I'm expecting to see Osimhen play, although probably not the full 90 minutes. Given that he's just coming back from injury his fitness might still be limited, so I think he'll come on in the second half as the substitute. However I expect Galatasaray to beat Alanyaspor today.

A huge win for Aston Villa, it their first win of the season and it had to come in the Europa league, at least there will be a big relief in Villa park. The match between Aston Villa and bologna ended in a 1-0, well not a convincing win and performance but at the end it got the job done, maybe if Watkins had scored from the spot they would have been in much control.

This a game villa could have draw or even lose but with a bit of luck on their side they manage to taste a win, villa needs to improve a lot especially in the final third, they need to start taking their chances. Goals wins games and until they improve in scoring they will continue to struggle to win games.

Yeah, they did their best to redeem their reputation after poor start to Premier League season. I didn’t risk much money on them, so my bet on their win was small. However, I didn’t lose it, and thanks to John McGinn’s goal it paid off and gave my bankroll the slight boost. I think they could’ve even finished 2-0 if Ollie Watkins’ penalty hadn’t been saved.

It's crazy to spend $549 (plus customs) on device like this that is only based on shitereum blockchain and it's tokens.
I can't find any information about source code so everything is probably closed source.
This is just another moneygrab and I would not waste money on this crap.


Well, I'd prefer to hear the discussion on the concept of an account-abstracted wallet and its potential applications for Bitcoin, rather than yammers about closed-source issues, "shitereum blockchain" and similar topics.  Sad

Regarding the price, it is a matter of relative value. Some may find it high, but those with millions of dollars will consider it cheap.Wink

Два дня назад Freedom Factory оффициально объявила о релизе первого в мире аппартника, под названием dGEN1, использующего модель абстрактного аккаунта подробнее о модели здесь для восстановления кошелька.

Некоторые софтовые кошельки используют эту модель, но среди аппаратников dGEN1 первопроходец.

Фактически, архитектура этого устройства является гибридной, поскольку dGEN1 по-прежнему использует приватные ключи, подобно традиционным аппаратным кошелькам, основанным на модели внешнего владения аккаунтами. Однако для восстановления используются методы абстракции аккаунтов, что делает процесс более гибким и независимым от SEED или приватных ключей.

Though this device is not specifically designed for Bitcoin and primarily focuses on the Ethereum ecosystem, I believe it's worth discussing here, as, AFAIK, this is the first hardware wallet that implements the concept of an account abstracted wallet.

In fact the architecture of this device is hybrid one as it still uses private keys, similar to traditional hardware wallets based on the externally owned account model. However, for recovery, it employs account abstraction techniques, making the process more flexible and independent of the SEED/private keys.

The official announcement of its release can be found in this news release.

I’m curious could something similar be built for hardware wallets dedicated solely to Bitcoin? In my view, it could help solve some of the current challenges traditionally associated with the lost SEED/prv keys/etc.

Is this technically feasible?

fake BTC's that can actually be moved to the culprit's account but totally useless?
They are called "test coins". You can pick testnet3, testnet4, signet, or regtest. The problem with testnets is that they are worth non-zero amounts, so they are no longer "fake". But yes, nothing stops you from using an altcoin, which would be based on Bitcoin, for example BCH, and pretend to believe, that "BCH is Bitcoin", and when you said "I have one Bitcoin", then you meant "1 BCH", instead of "1 BTC"


Test coins are useless because the relevant addresses differ from those associated with the mainnet. Sad This means you can't send your test coins to the address that scammers provide. Those involved in crypto-related crimes are often highly skilled, and the chances of tricking them are almost zero. If they catch on that you're trying to deceive them, things could end badly for you

Napoli continues to have a full score, as I was saying. While Lecce and Pisa both finish with one point in the standings.

Yeah, I bet on Napoli and I wasn’t wrong. They defeated Pisa, though the match wasn’t easy for them.

It looks like those who voted for Inter should start worrying about their choice, as the team has anchored  in the middle of the table.

Napoli seems set to win another trophy this season.

The Europa League has always been the most difficult tournament for me to bet on. It's a field of average teams, and it's hard to determine who's stronger. I don't see any clear favorites and I probably won't bet on the first few matches, I'll just wait and see. I'd probably go with Feyenoord and Aston Villa, but something's going on with Aston Villa, I expected them to play better. Nottingham also looks weak, so I think Betis will win, but I'll reiterate that I won't be betting on this round, it's complicated.

You can always bet on both teams to score — especially in the Europa League, where every team wants to show what they’re made of and score goals.
And when I look at the table, there aren’t many true underdogs — maybe Malmö, Ludogorets, and Ferencváros.

Exactly. Today Feyenoord faces Braga on their home soil, where mobs of Braga fans will be cheering on their idols. Winning this match will be the tough task for Feyenoord, and BTTS seems like the best option here. Bookies are giving slightly higher chances to Braga, which makes sense given their strong form. So, I expect the final score to be something like 2-1, but I'm not sure who will come out on top.
9  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Current sub-1sat/vbyte minrelayfee and historical precedent on: September 24, 2025, 09:18:26 AM

My question is what exactly has changed in the last 10 years that has made Core developers decide to reverse course and lower the default minrelayfee?

I'm sure you don’t assume that mining is all beer and skittles.. The equipment used in mining, especially in a competitive pool, must be constantly upgraded to keep up with more advanced pools. In addition to electricity, miners also face other costs related to their hardware, maintenance, and infrastructure. Thus to support individual miners, I believe the decision was made to prioritize full blocks over half-empty ones by lowering the default minrelayfee, because there's growing concern that the mining industry could become fully government-controlled in the future.

Passport Prime has passed the security audit conducted by Keylabs, but shipments of this wallet to early access customers have not yet begun. According to Zach Herbert, the exact shipping date is still to be determined. In the meantime, the company is using this time to refine both the firmware (including KeyOS) and all Bitcoin apps that run on their cutting-edge device.

11  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: The great widespread confusion on what a wallet is and derivation paths affectin on: September 23, 2025, 09:30:43 AM

Also you keep using the term "account", depending on the wallet you are using it could mean different things. You need to clarify what wallet you have in mind, for example in Electrum there is no such concept and you'd need to create a new wallet with a new seed phrase.

As OP refereed to hierarchical deterministic wallet "Most wallets are HD wallets that use standard derivation paths" account refers to that hierarchical level that "splits the key space into independent user identities"

Quote

Regarding Electrum, I haven't used it for a long time, but as far as I remember you can change the last index in the proposed (default) derivation path to get the different account associated with the same SEED phrase.

Your signed message is your identity on forum. Make sure you're printing one of your's.

The ability to sign messages is useful in a variety of situations. Recently, I used it to claim NIGHT tokens, which were specifically distributed to Bitcoin holders by Clacier Drop . The private keys required to sign the messages for claiming these tokens were controlled by my Passport Core, so I used this hardware wallet paired with the Sparrow client to sign the relevant messages.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2025 Ballon d’Or Prediction thread on: September 23, 2025, 07:53:03 AM
It has to be Dembele, he won everything and starred in the CL. All the talk of Raphinha and Yamal is nonsense, the only guy who deserves to win the award this time is Dembele.

I would rather see Vitinha win it if Dembele doesn’t. It has to be a PSG player.

Your right here. The only player deserving to win the award is Dembele.



I believe the main reason for Dembele's award might be that it’s presented by the French magazine, and they likely favor the winner from French team rather than someone from abroad. That said, I would give the award to Salah, but definitely not to any PSG players. They were beaten in yesterday's match against Marseille Dembélé wasn’t playing due to injury.

You are completely right about Napoli vs. Pisa match. Even though Napoli won but it was difficult game for them. They had hard time scoring and their defense made many mistakes.

Agreed. This time Napoli's play kept me on the edge of my seat. I had bet on their win, but after Gilmour scored Pisa managed to equalize. Even after Lucca's goal made it 3-1 Pisa still found the way to score their second goal. Fortunately for my bet the match ended with Pisa's defeat, so my bet paid off and gave the slight boost to my bankroll.

Grin Если у кого-то есть информация на счет отношения к Биткоину в этом государстве, то я бы почитал о таком. В моем списке появится ещё одна территория, где есть лояльное обстановка к Биткоину.

Добрались  ещё 6 лет назад до публикации вашего поста. Сейчас наверное этот памятник мохом оброс.Grin Кстати лицезрел его где-то ещё в 20-м году.

Относительно "отношения к Биткоину в этом государстве" то оно на те времена в целом было пофигистское. Думаю на данный момент мало что изменилось.

If watching your little squares fill up helps you relax, then go for it, but remember, Bitcoin is for life, not the other way around. The price of 1 BTC is steadily growing, so your main goal should be to earn more money to afford filling up more squares, without sacrificing your standard of living or that of your family. I wish you good luck in your endeavor.

But in every match after that we have seen great gameplay from Barcelona. They won against Valencia 6-0. Barcelona defeated Newcastle 2-1 in the away match in the Champions League. Barcelona also won against Getafe 3-0 in yesterday's match.


Agreed, their performance last time was fantastic, especially considering the absence of Yamal, who doesn’t seem to be fully recovered yet. He was supposed to play in yesterday's match against Getafe, but that didn’t happen. In about a week on October 1st to be exact they will face PSG in the UEFA Champions League, and this match will really show "who’s who." I’d love to see Barca defeat PSG.

It will definitely be an aggressive match between Manchester City and Arsenal because both teams are strong. Each team will fight with their best performance to improve their position, Arsenal is a little stronger than Manchester City in recent times.

Probably btts would be the safest option here.

Well, my prediction that both teams would score in this match turned out to be correct. Erling Haaland scored early in the first half, while Gabriel Martinelli managed to equalize just before the end of injury time. Manchester came very close to securing the win, but they got their comeuppance, as in my view defense is not the best tactic to use against Arsenal. Needless to say, this match kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time.

Today's games has come and gone ranging from the dramatic win of Manchester United to that of Liverpool

I didn't bet on any site in Manchester match because I was not sure about outcome but placed the bet on Liverpool and this bet payed off. It seems that bet on Liverpool is always the "prizes-for-all lottery" here. Grin

Regarding length of PIN, even a simple, easy-to-remember 4-digit number can be secure if you repeat it several times to choose for PIN.
I didn't understand what you tried to say with this part of your post. Why do you think a 4-digit PIN is secure enough or more secure if you repeat it several times compared to a 4-digit PIN that you don't repeat?

Just read the original article.

They bypassed the brute-force protection mechanismsemployed by Tangem and, in fact, used brute-forcing to break PIN.

The longer the PIN, the larger the search space. For example, repeating  4-digit PIN five times would make it practically uncrackable using their method.

You might gain more insights by reading this.
