Descobri ontem um projecto que (aparentemente) está a pagar aos jogadores que se juntarem aos servidores deles: o NFT Worlds (https://www.nftworlds.com/).

No primeiro "mundo", o servidor de testes, (supostamente) pagam 20 WRLD (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/nft-worlds/) por hora aos jogadores activos - um pouco mais de $2 por hora, pagos a cada 72h. Outros servidores têm regras diferentes, que ainda não tive tempo de explorar (existem 4 diferentes para já).

Podem ler mais aqui (que foi onde originalmente vi o projecto): https://www.playtoearn.online/2022/02/02/earn-wrld-playing-minecraft-in-nft-worlds/ (e não se esqueçam de dar o vosso endereço no jogo, com o comando "/wallet <address>").


Disclaimers: o proximo pagamento é feito amanhã, supostamente, por isso ainda n recebi nada. Para já só existe mercado para WRLD através da Uniswap. Não sei se poderão vir a existir conflitos legais com a Microsoft / Minecraft. Não faço ideia se isto vai virar scam.

Por isso talvez não seja boa ideia irem a correr comprar o jogo (como eu) só para isto.

[Disclaimers:]

Alguém aqui usa o Coinbase Earn?^*

Tenho ainda 11 convites para dar, para 3 promoções diferentes (só conheço 1 pessoa que usa a Coinbase, e essa pessoa apanhou a maioria das promoções antes de mim ). Se quiserem fazer aquilo através do meu link, pago-vos metade do que ganhar por serem meus refs (ganho $10 na moeda ou token promovido se fizerem pelo menos 1 lição, por isso pago $5 (no token ou moeda)).

Vejam o segundo post para saberem para que moedas ainda tenho convites disponíveis.

Disclaimers:

• Têm de ter conta na Coinbase verificada.
• Têm de fazer login na Coinbase primeiro, e só depois seguir o link e fazer as lições. Se trocarem a ordem parece que não pagam os $10 a quem deu o convite (como já aconteceu comigo e com a outra pessoa que mencionei acima).
• Nem sempre se recebe os $10 pelos refs (como disse no último ponto, e se calhar há outros casos em que não pagam também), e não tenho como provar que de fato não recebi. Se isto acontecer, não recebo os $10, e não posso pagar os vossos $5. Se quiserem participar têm de estar dispostos a correr esse risco.
• Não funciona no Brasil.^**

* - se ainda não conhecerem o que a Coinbase Earn é, é semelhante ao CoinMarketCap Earn - isto é, pagam ($3 a $10) por se ver um conjunto de vídeos / slides sobre um token / moeda que estejam a promover. Ao contrário do CMC Earn num entanto, os pagamentos são instantâneos, e algumas moedas pagam ainda mais por "refs" e outras tarefas.

**

Live in a country eligible for Coinbase Earn. Eligible countries are:
Austria, Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cypress, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Senegal, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, The United Kingdom, and the United States. We are working hard to add more eligible countries soon

Já viram a promoção da CoinmarketCap, "When Will Bitcoin Hit $20,000? Make a Prediction - $10,000 in BTC to Be Won!"?

Pagam até $2000 a quem acertar na data e hora a que o BTC atingir $20000. Cada participante pode fazer até 3 previsões sobre quando isso vai acontecer (e aparentemente pode também mudar as previsões em qualquer altura, desde que as novas previsões sejam para pelo menos 24 horas depois da data / hora em que ocorreu a mudança).

E que tal se nos juntássemos, fizéssemos todos previsões diferentes (e fossemos atualizando as previsões à medida que falhassem), e no final dividíssemos o prémio por todos? (não necessariamente os $2000 porque isso é só para quem primeiro escolheu a data / hora certa... provavelmente será muito menos, porque imagino que muita gente vá participar e fazer igual)

Devemos conseguir fazer isto com 8 ou 9 pessoas (se ainda sei fazer contas e não me esqueci de nada muito importante - 3 previsões a cada 24 horas). E se calhar limitamos isto a Member ou Full Member para cima, se houverem muitos interessados? (não que sejamos muitos por aqui...)

Caso estejam interessados, as minhas previsões são:

• 11/21/2020 das 18h00 às 19h00
• 11/23/2020 das 17h00 às 18h00
• 11/26/2020 das 17h00 às 18h00

Para referência:

7. All users who predict correctly will be ranked based on the time they entered the time slots — which means you should start predicting right away! The reward structures are as follows:
1st place: $2,000 in BTC
2nd place: $1,500 in BTC
3rd place: $1,000 in BTC
All the other users who entered the winning time slot will share $5,500 in BTC evenly.

Espero que fiquemos em 4º lugar, sem haver 5º lugar...

I made this for an arts contest we've got going in the Portuguese local board^*, but thought others might enjoy it as well:

[Newbie]

Mais especificamente, precisava da ajuda de 5 utilizadores, um de cada um dos ranks excepto Hero / Legendary (por isso, Newbie, Junior Member, Member, Full Member e Senior Member), só para ter a certeza que está tudo bem - imagino que as únicas assinaturas que possam dar problema sejam as de Senior Member. Como é provável que não esteja por aqui quando estiverem a testar, tirem um screenshot de um post vosso a usar a assinatura apropriada por favor.

Shameless self-promotion to follow...

Como podem ver, as assinaturas são para promover a BetKing, que são os novos patrocinadores da Free Tipster... Betting Competition que o FrueGreads e eu criamos aqui há uns anos. Se alguém aqui se quiser juntar, ou comentar / fazer sugestões sobre como podemos melhorar a competição, estas são as threads que estamos a usar: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4729639.0 e https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1256522.0. Se houver interesse suficiente, posso também traduzir tudo e criar um tópico por aqui sobre a competição para discutirmos entre nós.


PS: esta competição é principalmente para quem já aposta, e os prémios são um muito bom complemento nesse caso ($2000 em prémios, para além do que ganham na própria aposta). Para quem não aposta / joga (e perde sempre que o tenta fazer, como eu), se calhar mais vale não arriscarem.

PPS: se forem às threads que indiquei acima vão ver posts de um utilizador a criticar a BetKing por um ICO que fizeram o ano passado. Pelo (admitidamente) pouco que li / sei sobre o assunto, parece-me não ter grande fundamento (e ainda menos relevância para a competição), mas obviamente sou parcial no assunto (a BetKing é o nosso patrocinador actual, afinal) por isso tirem as vossas próprias conclusões se decidirem participar.

Se sim, como sugerem que a divisão seja feita?

Pessoalmente, costumo evitar essa aba sempre que possível, uma vez que quase só se vê ANNs / ICOs de novos projectos, e pouco mais. As restantes discussões acabam por ou vir parar aqui, ou arriscam-se a desaparecer sem receberem a atenção devida.

Como o sabotag3x e o alegotardo sugeriram noutro tópico (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4364836.msg38984651#msg38984651), acho que a melhor solução seja simplesmente mover todos os ANNs / ICOs para uma aba própria criada dentro de "Criptomoedas Alternativas" (um Child Board).

Se estiverem todos de acordo, podemos depois criar um tópico em Meta a pedir aos Admins para criarem a nova aba (ou outra solução, se for o caso).

... é capaz de ser melhor levantarem / transferirem tudo o mais cedo possível, devido ao token swap que vai haver: https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherDelta/comments/8mvq0j/withdraw_your_eos_now/.

(não sei se isto já foi discutido por aqui algures, e o tópico devia estar em "Criptomoedas Alternativas", mas deixo aqui para já para ter mais atenção)

[Post Requirements]

As some of you may know, FrueGreads and I have been running the Free Tipster Competition^* in the Gambling forum for several months now (we're currently in the 6^th edition) and, thanks to the very generous sponsorship from DirectBet.eu, paid over 10 BTC in prizes to participants (in the form of top place prizes, participation prizes and, more recently, daily prizes as well).

We're now looking for 15 members to join our signature campaign, and help us promote this competition. Participants of this campaign must be at least Full Members, and willing to use our avatar and signature for one week (which is how long this campaign will last).

• 8 of the 15 posts must be made in Tipster related threads.
• A maximum of 4 posts per day will count towards the campaign requirements.
• Double posts will count as one post only.

Payments:  

• 0.015 BTC for one week.
• Payments will be made directly to each participant's BTC address.

To Join This Campaign:

• Make sure you are in good standing in this forum (you should have no valid negative trust).

I'm not sure this is the best/right sub-forum for this question, but anyway: how much would a simple website cost? A friend of mine will possibly end up having one made for a project of his, and would like to have an idea of the prices being asked. The website itself would likely be very simple, with no more than 5 or 6 pages (home; about; a page to hold/show photos; and little more), and a menu to navigate between them - no login, database, or anything else, really.

Thanks.

"An internal JPMorgan memo reveals that the lender plans to invest $9 billion in technology like robotics and the blockchain, according to Business Insider, which claims to have seen the memo.

Of course, the general idea is still "use the blockchain and get rid of bitcoin", if they can't control it.

Important Update

Hello everyone, sorry for the late update, but as u9y42 pointed out, I was away most of the day.

As promised I would like to announce that our Tipster Championship is back, and our new sponsor is BetKing.io!

We will try to go live on the 1st August, just in time for the start of the major European Football Leagues, so that you don't miss good betting opportunities, while at the same time get the chance to win some great prizes, making your betting experience much better!

As for the competition format, things are almost all decided, but as usual we listen, so feel free to make suggestions and if we can we will add them. If we can't add them for this first opening edition, we will try to do it on the next one if possible.

We will make an official announcement with all the rules, but right now this is our plan:

- Betting bankroll of $50 (Bitcoin equivalent)
- Valid bets will need to have a stake of at least 1% of current bankroll, and will have a max of 5% (of course tat if they are above 5%, you will still get paid, but wins will only be calculated for the leaderboard as if they were made with a 5% stake)
- We will consider daily ROI% and award competition points based on that value.

We will have 3 different formats, so that everyone can get something out of our competition:

- Daily Challenges: Like the ones we had before. We will give you a Betting Challenge and the winner will get a daily prize based on that.

- Weekly Competition: As said before our daily ROI% will award you points. At the end of the week, the players with more points will get their prizes. Points will reset every week for this weekly format, so that everyone has a chance to win these prizes as well.

- Monthly Competition: Although we will give most of the prizes on our Weekly Format, we still want to reward those that are able to make good bets during the entire month. For the Monthly Format, we will not reset the points, and at the end of the month we will award prizes for a small number of players. Our Tipster Kings for the month!

We want to keep everyone engaged in our new Tipster Championship!!!
So with these three options:
- You will be making your normal bets while winning fast daily prizes!
- If you have a good week, you will get even more rewards. If that week wasn't so good, don't worry, because you will have a chance to start all over again on the next week, since we reset weekly points!
- If you are that good, and keep getting good results week after week, we will be noticing and you will get more prizes at the end of the month!

So no matter what happens, you will always have chances to win prizes while you are doing what you like, that is betting!
I think it's hard to beat this, but as I said before, please make suggestions if you have them.

More news about how to register will come soon, as well as the official rules and prizes for our competition.
Stay tuned!

I have been helping FrueGreads run a tipster competition in the forum, and was wondering if it would be appropriate to create a thread in Gambling to promote it, and perhaps, keep a discussion going on about it there, with tactics the participants can use, correct bank management, and so on. The main competition thread is currently in Games and Rounds (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1159253).

Last month, the American robot maker company MegaBots challenged the Japanese Suidobashi Heavy Industry to a giant robot duel - which the Japanese company accepted a few days ago, though, instead of a gun battle, the CEO of the Japanese company proposed: "If we’re gonna win this, I want to punch them and scrap them down to do it".

The original Kuratas video: https://youtu.be/29MD29ekoKI
The challenge: https://youtu.be/XVJTGLL2SnI - "Suidobashi, we have a giant robot. You have a giant robot. You know what needs to happen: We challenge you to a duel."
The answer: https://youtu.be/7u8mheM2Hrg - "My reaction? Come on guys, make it cooler," he said. "Just building something huge and sticking guns on it. It’s … super American."

So, who is going to win this battle? America? Japan? Or will they both collapse into worthless piles of metal before the fight?

A brothel in Salzburg, Austria, is offering free entrance, drinks and sex this summer, as a way to protest what the owner sees as being high taxes.

So, how many of you are going to spend your vacations in Salzburg, Austria, this summer?

I need to buy something with Neteller, but I'm a little short. So, I would like to sell 0.01 btc for $3.3 Neteller, or equivalent in € (rate used is the current $330 per btc from BTC-e). Please post in this thread if you are interested.

PS: I'm not sure if there is a minimum amount for sending money with Neteller - if there is, and it is higher than the $3.3 I mentioned, do let me know and I'll send the appropriate amount in btc.

I am looking to sell 0.15 BTC at current Bitstamp rate. Given that Neteller transactions are easily reversible (as far as I know), I would prefer to trade with an user with very good feedback (and at least a Full/Senior Member).

Also, if anyone is willing to act as escrow for this, let me know - thanks.

EDIT: Trade completed elsewhere.

An Italian company has developed a 3d printer to build mud houses, that can be easily transported and assembled; plus, it can use a variety of mud or clays as building materials. They will apparently be putting it to the test early next year.

The guys developing the game Untold Universe are giving away alpha keys. The game itself is similar to Minecraft, but it allows players to build their own spaceships and travel between planets.

Get your alpha keys while they last: https://www.untold-universe.com/forums/general/topics/alpha-keys-giveaway-official-thread.

A few screenshots from the game (probably not all completely implemented yet at this stage):







PS: By the way, I don't know if this is the right section to post this; so let me know if it isn't.

It will still undergo a few more tests aboard the space station, after which a permanent printer will be installed up there.

By the way, I want one too; this plus blender would be very cool. Anyone with a 3d printer want to print its components and ship them to me?

3D printers use a unique technique called extrusion additive manufacturing, which builds objects layer by layer out of polymers, metals, and other raw materials. The technology means objects can actually be manufactured in space, meaning the need to launch components from Earth would be much reduced – making space exploration much cheaper and more efficient.
