I am having an issue here every gambler or some sport person knows that football matches can be fixed. Players, coaches, football and referees can be bought off to swindle the match in the favour of the buyer.
I was in a heated argument with my colleague that it's difficult to fix matches played in big leagues like the English premier league, LA liga, French league, German league, Italian seria A,
You would not get away with trying to fix matches in those league and the fear of the penalties will send chill running down their spin.
What's your take on this can matches can be fixed in those league and go free

 Know your customer (kyc) is one security measure I support and do not hesitate to fill-in all my kyc required details. KYc is being used by exchanges, ico project some bounty managers etc.
But is kyc really needed in gambling section. I experienced a very hectic kyc procedure when trying to register onto a gambling site with them telling me they would get back to me after some day so I wonder what if I got a pressing game I needed to play immediately.
In my own opinion kyc is not of major importance in gambling section. What do you guys think

As we all know the value of bitcoin are down but we are still optimistic about the price bouncing back.
Am new to bitcoin sportbook I just want to ask what would change if bitcoin increases

We have come to accept the bitcoin gambling site an this has giving cryptocurrency enthusiast to enjoy there passion for gambling with bitcoin.
So at the moment I know that there are very few altcoin gambling site does this sector have any chance to rival bitcoin gambling site?

If one wants to stake a bet with bitcoin or cryptocurrency with an individual offline is the service of an escrow employable or do escrow services avoid getting involved in gambling.
What are the best escrow services for this

Africa has a good population although most of its country are still at the development stage but there is a huge interest about betting and I think this is an opportunity that can be tapped into

Hello friend
Pls without referring to any particular site can anyone offer a less bias advice as to how they select a very good gambling like what are their features, advantages and disadvantages, how successful has there decision been so far and so on

I Would want to seek out in your own opinion the top sport betting site available now that pays out in bitcoin.
I am into sport betting and am also a bitcoin enthusiast and would love to get my winnings in bitcoin so I would love to here your suggestions

Well it's obvious that the selling and buying of bct account is still going on and this heinous crime is not looking to end soon.  I see ads my individuals wanting to sell bitcoin talk account of ranks above Jr member.

In my own opinion buying a bitcoin talk account is more of a disadvantage to the buyer an existing member for some certain reasons(holidays, needs fund urgently, sick etc) might wish to sell there BCH account and a buyer gets it then when he or she decides to come back would head to meta with a new account and report it as stolen, hacked or so on(they have the bitcoin address signed message) then a rift would likely breakout which might leave the account in question with a negative trust tag.

There is no short cut to success you have to work for what ever you would get. Never engage in buying of bitcoin talk account work on your own personal bitcoin talk account and anyone wanting to sell account to you is obviously a criminal and it would be crazy to trust a criminal

Sport is one thing that unites people it's also promote peace and joy.
I know this forum is meant for serious discussion but all work and no fun won't make bitcoin price to increase. I was wondering if there could be a sport section yes the obvious response would be to channel it to the off-topic section yes quite correctly but could the off-topic section have child board where sport would be included. It would be a fat lie if we say that there are no huge amount of sport lovers in the forum I would state and even argue the fact that the amount of sport lovers can rival the amount of politics lovers.

And besides it would help easy tensions just take a break from all the bad drama happening in the cryptocurrency market. Also some cryptocurrency related project are sponsoring some football and sport team this can bring some revenue to the forum when some of this project notice that the section is gaining interest they could reach out to the forum for possible deal well that is IMO

Sport is fun and won't harm anyone if it's been discussed

     I can understand that we have to seek for knowledge and asking questions is one good way to know more about what you don't understand

  Asking questions is a good and an acceptable character  in the forum not until one start to abuse the liberty of them being able to create new post any time they want by asking very trivial questions(sometimes they know the answers, it have been solved on previous thread) most time to complete post count or increase there activities.

It can be very annoying coming across such post. It's not compulsory to hit the new topic button anytime you just want this can cause the board to be flooded with spam post.

Before you ask a question first try to search about it do a good Google Search you will be sent so many options to choose from you will even be directed to a bitcointalk thread where such has be discussed before.

But after you must have done your research and you not satisfied then you can drop your question but let it be something worth discussing.

  Let experience count at least it's improper to be in the forum for more than four month and still asking rudimentary questions

    A good percentage of members entering the forum where lured by the financial gains the can make by wearing a signature and a good percentage of those member after they might have meet the very minimal requirements( legally or otherwise) are in so much haste to copy and paste a signature of a bounty project on there signature space.

   The idea of gaining from just any signature you advertise on the forum is quite a false one. Most don't even understand what the project the are promoting is all about, to know If there is a future.

  A notable member of the forum has once written that to make real gain from the forum you must have stayed on the forum for a while rising and increasing your knowledge.  Nothing good comes easy very rear to see a good paying signature accepting the low members.

   I would be hypocritical if I tell you I don't want to earn from the forum I actually want to do but there is no gain working for project that end up in misery. It's time now for me to pay the price for a better future those that are earning tangibly had paid there price and worked for it. By contributing positively to the forum.

  Do well to read now to stay focused grabbing useful hint that notable or generous member drop. no one love a spammer reduce unhealthy post( without you knowing you will be noticed) then you would sure have a good future here

Am not president Donal trump supporter neither do I agree in so many of his reforms, work, ideas or tweets( propably the most active president on twitter).

Ever since Donal trump came to office he has really been all about America and America alone his "buy American hire american" slogan is quite familiar amongst his supporters but I must say this can only crest enemies for the US and can also tamper with long lasting relationship with other nations

But on action I don't fault Donal trump is the tight measures he is putting to secure American boarder I might not share or support his hidden reason for doing so but from a security conscious perspective I think it is quite a good thing.

It was reported by some news agency that there has be a request for  troop of 800 personnel to secure the boarder against illegal immigrants this won't be the first neither would it be the last time trump would be making tighter measures in securing the US boarder

Every country needs to protect it's boarder and very tightly at that to secure the nation from intruders and any individual that tries to enter a nation by scaling through boarders no matter the intent is tagged as an illegal occupant. So on that note I think I agree with Donal trump on this one

 I would not have to be a preacher to know that life is full of ups and downs that's how the circles goes most time its beyond our personal control but having the ability to control the situation and see an opportunity in disguise is left to us.

   If you just have a simple Google Search on the previous down fall of bitcoin you would notice that this is not the first and won't be the last where we would experience a drop in price.

Some investors at the previous times of fall might have panic and sold off or future possible investors might had developed cold feet about investing in bitcoin. Although the times where bad they never saw the big picture they never sensed the opportunity locking around the corner. Using 2017 as a case study it is realised that bitcoin by November did more than 20 time what it started with at the beginning of the year.

  You don't have to be a crypto pro to know the market is volatile and changes are constant but the ability to deal with such changes can distinguish you in the crypto space. Am not saying that it's a sure fact that bitcoin will hit a rapid rise soon but my thoughts is that this could be a blessing to those that can envision it.

  Opportunity locks in the strangest of situations and what happened to the forum in terms of ranking system(although I missed the days before the update) it's only those that must have seen the disappointment as an opportunity to build themselves and become better than they where can understand it's benefits regardless the forum has benefited from it my reducing unwanted post a bit.

  Correct me if am wrong over 90% of initial coin offering ico of late turns out to be scam project and a good deal of this project loves to create awareness for them selves so that prospective prey(investors) can come in.

    Bounty program - this are program set up by project where individuals are paid most times in there token for completing a set down task. This is a mutual relationship program between managers and hunters. There various aspect of the program
*signature campaign
*social media campaign
*content
*blog.  E.t.c

   Scams are every where in cryptocurrency especially in the ico sectors and most individual are against it but has it occurred to us that we might be playing our part in advancing scam and working for scammers. Engaging in a bounty program that is organised by scam project has definitely  made you a member of the scam as well.

consciously or unconsciously you have promoted scam be it wearing there signature or writing articles for them or what ever work you had done for them you have become an accomplice in the crime.

  How can we prevent ourselves from not promoting this criminals well like the doctor would advice for you to prevent STD stick to one secure partner. So is cryptocurrency the best is to work for project that has link to already trusted and established coin well some of them are quite selective about who will work for them you can still do a good research about the project you want to work for don't be in a greedy rush to join and if at anytime you know that there are a scam do well by cutting partnership and report them.

Let's stop aiding this bad egg in there scam schemes

   The dictionary can explain Ignorance as the lack or poor knowledge, understanding and information about something.

    There has been various precautionary measures against scam that has been put forth both here on the forum and outside the forum. Articles, posts, thread and even applications has been recommended to secure oneself against the menace but still the main vital feature scammers prey on is ignorance.

  Individuals are sometimes fond of engaging into something(business, investment, trade e.t.c) with only basic knowledge most especially how to make profit with out first also understand the importance and ways of protecting themselves from invaders.

Almost every sites, social media platforms, blogs, exchanges, wallet, even your devices  or anything on the internet try as much as possible to protect it users. Social media platforms has setting that protects you from receiving messages from a suspious individual some even have an option to report spam and block but some users are not aware or ignorant about the use.

  Also groups have an orientation message stating some type of safety rule(no member of the admin would privately want to do business, every link must be from an admin) and so many other rules but individuals ignorantly still evade and most time fall prey.

First thing to do when you engage in anything Always reading and understand rules and precautions frist to ensure your safety this should be your primary form of safety even before any other advance way of protecting yourself.

On the 19 November a genius registered in his founded forum bitcoin talk forum satoshi nakamoto.  I have been taking interest through his post and I came to realize there was a post the genius was interested in and I know it would be of interest to us. 

The forum is still in it birthday week let's oblige our self
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1790

The risk of trading has been emphasized here on the group for some reason individuals do peer to peer trading well doing trading in such manner is not wrong just that it has a higher risk level than doing trading on an exchange.

Peer to peer and online traders most time engage in the act probably to escape some transcation fee or get it at a cheaper rate not knowing the a vulnerable to scam.

Engaging an escrow agent in an off exchange trading transcation has been the norm but still you still not completely safe with that service. An escrow agent act as a third party in the transaction and is in possession of the of what wants to be purchase and what will be used to purchase.
 
But the system has been infested with evil doers who are fraudster in disguise of an escrow agent.
Never be quick to go with an escrow that was suggested by your partner they might just be in a plan deal to defraud you, ask for the previous dealing of the escrow agent for authentication, if you must use an escrow then those with a high trust level should be top on your list.

[SPAMMERS]

Hello community

 Please I crave your indulgence permit me to draw your attention once again again to the frequently talk about matter of SPAMMERS and their activities. Undeniably a lot has been said prior to this post about the menace caused by SPAMMER.
 
 They have completely left the Altcoin discussion( I stand to be corrected is a place where other coin except bitcoin is discussed) in a precarious position this has caused some knowledge seeking member to put the section on their AVOID list. And this bad eggs(spammers) are expanding there horizons and like cancer are spreading to other sections of the forum like bitcoin discussion, beginners and help and even meta(which is fast turning into merit discussion) section.  And also just like cancer if not addressed now can lead to an unpleasant situation.

  It's no news that bounty hunters are the chief perpetrators of this crime(spamming). Participating in bounties or airdrops is not against the rule of the forum but it's the way some go about it that is causing the feeling of contempt from other members of the forum.

  Yes the new ranking system by the administrator https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0  was welcomed and it's a step in the right direction in curtailing the activities of SPAMMERS in disguise of being a bounty hunter but just like criminals evolves to beat security measures they have devices other dubious means to earn merit and go back to there evil ways https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5061591.0

   May I be permitted to postulate a rough idea
In addition to the update merit and ranking system remaining the same there be something like a badge or symbol giving to members of the forum that has reached the required level of carrying a signature. The badge or symbols would signify that the member is eligible to wear a signature and participate in signature bounties. And when they go about there activities if it's notices by the mods or draw to there attention by other members that an individual is constantly spamming the forum with post or reply just to meet up with there bounty commitment probably after 4 times of spamming  the member would be sent a post deleted message and attached to it a warning to desist from spamming but if the warning is not headed probably after another 4 post the badge or symbols would be removed and the member would be ineligible to continue wear signature no matter the rank or merit and the member would be put on probation and watch if still there is no changes might be banned after cross examination.

 And also the issue of constantly posting the same topic a link to where it has been discussed before would be attached to the delete post message sent to the OP to help assist him/her. This is still a rough idea that can be worked on and improve.  

The condition of the forum is a priority to every member

Have a blessed day

Hello community

First let's explain what the status quo terms means.  Although so many by now know what the mean for the newbies like me.
FOMO... Fear of missing out
FUD..  Fear uncertainty and despair
Shilling... This is when a coin is getting hyped by a person,group etc

  In the cryptocurrency world FOMO, FUD and shilling can be good but also they can be misleading. Just like you so many others are here with the intention to gain.

  Adverse effects of FOMO, FUD and shilling in investment

With so many ico, coins, and altcoin and alot of investors in the system it won't be surprising to notice ideas, thought and recommendation flying around some of which are born out of criticism, competition, speculation and just completely baseless. No one owes you any legit solution to understanding the cryptocurrency market so don't expect everyone to have your interests at heart. Making investment moves just based on FOMO, FUD and shilling can land you into some precarious position. Even the ideas of experts can be sponsored. So it's best to believe your instinct and have a good personal understanding. The market is volatile and that means changes are constant avoid been greedy not all well writing white paper turns out to be realistic, it's not the amount of investors that makes an altcoin turn out great. We are in a decentralized system so there is no regulations that enforces any project to leave up to there expectations.
