2421  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [CHESS] World Championship 2021: Carlsen Vs. Nepomniachtchi on: February 12, 2022, 02:01:35 PM

Someone who's really fond of Chess professional scene is the ideal one to make that general thread for everyone to keep the discussion going. Whether it's the World Championship, there will be a continuous discussion about it. I've started to play Chess again online and that's why that general thread would be helpful for me to dive in to see those grandmasters and professionals that have been in the competition. I have a source to look out time after time but I think it's still good to have a conversation from those who know more.

Not only for Chess for every sports there must a general thread where every event about that sports is discussed. For instance, there is general thread about cricket T20 format. Now everything related to T20 whether its World Cup or some  other tournament it's discussed there.
This Chess match between Carlsen and Nepomniachtchi was played back 2 months ago. Still we have an active thread about that match.

I do agree with everything you guys mentioned. With the increasing popularity of Chess compared before, it is starting to evolve from a niche sports to something that is widely recognized. I think this is due to the fact that after the release of Queen's Gambit on Netflix, it sparked the curiosity of many to actually try chess for the first time. While not everyone can be good at chess, it certainly is enjoyable especially when you beat your opponent.

But to be honest, I do think that creating a separate board for Chess would be beneficial in the long-run.
2422  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin has become a lifeline for sex workers on: February 12, 2022, 09:43:52 AM
I think this is one of the consequences of transacting using cryptocurrencies. It provided an alternative for sex workers to receive funds without being tracked and regulated. Since banks have been closing their accounts due to such practice, these workers are compelled to look for an alternative; in which BTC was the perfect platform for them.

To be honest, this is not that surprising considering that lots of altcoins have been focused on creating porn/sex coins on the market. If you were to visit the ANN threads under the altcoin section, you would find like at least 1-3 threads containing new porn altcoins specifically catering to this kind of market.
2423  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [Q] How does this scam work? on: February 12, 2022, 08:59:51 AM
It could be any method, tbh. They could end up asking for some collateral, they could ask for special authorization access to your admin panel, they could end up giving you a fake loan requiring you to create an account on a scam exchange then asking for a "withdrawal fee" to access the "loan", etc.

This pretty much sums up the entire thing- it could potentially be anything under the sun that will involve the user signing up to a website and provide any details that would compromise your security/identity.

Anything that offers loans without even explaining what the nature of their financial structure should definitely be considered as a red flag. If you are truly curious, then ask for their details and their loan structure on how such would work. Anything that will involve you in providing credit card details, etc. should be a sign that you must avoid.

Have you tried contacting their customer support in the website? As far as I know also, they have an ongoing signature campaign in the forum so they have an active player-base and support throughout. Normally, there are concerns that have to be addressed but you also have to contact first their support before making any threads about it.

Assuming that you already messaged them and they seemed to ignore it, you can open a scam accusation under the forum by providing sufficient proof of your transaction. I wish you good luck and continue updating this thread for more information and help.

@qwertyup23, kausapin mo ang support kung anong pwedeng gawin para maka pag level 3 ka.
yung address verification pwede naman siguro barangay certificate nalang or proof of residence kasi hindi naman sayan naka pangalan.
Public documents rin naman ang barangay certificate kaya valid rin yun.

Tingnan mo level 3 ko, maganda siya kasi unlimited na, gamit na gami lalo na kung marami kang transactions.

Sige @mirakal let me see kung makakakuha ako ng barangay clearance para ma-maximize ko din yung verification level ko. To be honest, medyo hassle nga na hanggang level 2 lang kaya ko pakita (need to show documents na may address ko, though limited lang choices na provided ni coins.ph). Magkakaroon din ako ng malaking transaction by the end of this year kaya I really have to at least fix my account this year.

Thank you for this tip and I am just really happy na na-accept na documents ko for their enhanced KYC.
2426  Economy / Economics / Re: Your opinion on side jobs on: February 11, 2022, 05:31:53 PM
General opinion is that a side job is one that supports the main income of an individual, often times perceived as something that brings little money to add to what you make from your day job. If Mr X earns better from a side job when compared to the income from his career option, does the side job still qualify to be called a side job?



Given the definition of a side-job, the latter is understood as something that is being practiced by an individual other than his main job. The main job may consist of anything that he/she devotes majority of their time into. If, in the event, that the side-job performs financially better than the main job, then this is a sign that the person must focus on the former to at least be efficient in managing his time and resources.

Like what most people have experienced, investing into cryptocurrencies and HODLing may be considered as a side-job but you generally HODL it for the time being. The only problem with this is that there is no absolute and stable flow of income as everything revolves around risks.
2427  Economy / Gambling / Re: Rollbit.com | Crypto's Most Rewarding Casino 👑 on: February 10, 2022, 05:15:04 PM
For me it is also very difficult to reach the minimum requirements

10 invites are just easy. You can ask few friends to join through your links or gave around few dollars to crypto promoter to promote your links in exchange for giveaway. Another way is to simply invite random people from another server then hope that they will join through your links but honestly this is the worst way to get invites as most of them will be leaving the channel on a later date

I'd rather choose to invite my crypto friends to join on their discord channel than inviting random people everywhere since we cannot assure that our random invites will not spread toxicity on the channel so best to invite our friends since we might wake up their interest to join us on minting their NFT. Anyways good to see the slot almost filled up and I will notbe surprise if this one will be full in next couple of days knowing rollbit is a reputable casino.

At this stage of the competition, getting the invites seem essential- like you may call me selfish but I would exercise all the means just to invite others for the whitelist links. Though the potential problem that I see would most probably be beginners who would somehow fall and start their gambling sprees.

If we invite our friends, we do not know how they can have good responsibility to themselves and if something happens to them, we can be in trouble because we invite them to join through our links. We do not even know how much money they will use to gamble, although we can get something from them, we are still putting them in danger. If we think it is hard to do, we can skip that and not participate in any events instead of gambling for fun.

Well this is somehow true but remember that our actions involve responsibility. While we may have started or introduced them to the gambling scene, the responsibility falls on them on how they would approach this kind of scenario.

2428  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Making valentine's day memorable with bitcoins. on: February 10, 2022, 04:38:15 PM
February 14th is very much celebrated worldwide as valentine's day, a day to show love, not just to our loved ones but to everyone. I'm thinking of doing something memorable for my loved ones and maybe any other person, something bitcoin related. Suggestions please, how can I and us all make valentine's day a memorable day with bitcoins?

The beauty behind BTC is its commutative value- it can be either treated as an asset or as a form of currency. Its uses are very flexible depending on the things that you need but generally, you may want to withdraw and convert some of your BTCs to be able to purchase something nice this Valentine's Day.

If you are looking for something that can be associated with BTC this Valentine's, I guess you can create a post under the services thread and ask for something that can be traded with BTCs. In that way, gifted and talented users may be able to think of an idea that can immortalized BTC this February 14.
2429  Economy / Gambling / Re: Paddleboat Mississippi, new poker site with low fees and good privacy on: February 10, 2022, 12:51:58 PM
After a year in development I've launched my Bitcoin poker site, Paddleboat Mississippi. If you like no-limit Texas hold'em, please consider checking it out at https://paddleboat.ms/.

I am not a big company, just someone who likes Bitcoin and poker. I wrote the kind of site that I would like to play poker on myself. The game looks and works much better than other poker sites in my opinion. The design is clean and functional, putting gameplay first. It uses modern web technologies, but doesn't look like a typical modern site.

Objectively speaking, the website reminds me of those 90s computer where your dad stays at the office playing solitaire all night.
 
Kidding aside, though I do understand that your funds may be limited, I hope you invest on its aesthetics and overall user interface. It is essential that the moment a potential customer opens a website, it would attract him for the first 10s to navigate throughout the page. In this way, they would be more inclined to stay making them your potential target customers in the long run.
2430  Economy / Economics / Re: If you don't buy don't come here to complain on: February 05, 2022, 04:49:59 PM
It all starts with will and belief. I believe if we continue to be consistent with crypto and not have to care about what other people have to say, it will definitely pay off in the future. I look back at crypto which always provides opportunities for them, it all depends on us how to take advantage of it all.

I think more than will and belief, you have to at least back it with concrete data and evidence to fully maximize the potential of earning on your investments. The problem with cryptocurrencies is that most people believe that this would make them instantly rich without even understanding what they are investing on.

If you truly believe that investing into cryptocurrencies may be the key into unlocking the full potential of your investments, at least do your responsibility by providing proper research and data. If you go on investing without even knowing anything, you will most likely end up cashing out your investments before you even reach its full potential.
2431  Economy / Gambling / Re: Pragmatic play slots not available in my region on: February 05, 2022, 03:54:55 PM
Every casino there is has stipulated in their ToS about the countries that can and cannot be allowed to access their websites. It doesn’t really seem to be unfair because this is in compliance with the laws and regulations of those regions, and is being known publicly to the players in the first place. In the matter of VPN usage, there may have been many times that players was able to use such and didn’t encounter problems but it is better to contact the casino representatives to make sure it is safe and permitted.

I think gambling websites that disallow access from other countries are the regulated ones where their countries prohibit transactions coming outside from their country. While this is totally understandable on their part, others may circumvent this restriction by using VPNs. Unfortunately, using VPNs may be restricted depending on the TOS of such online gambling website. That is why, you run the risk of losing access to your account (and your funds) when you violate any of the TOS stated.

Again if it is possible, avoid gambling websites that are regulated as their are tons of restrictions on their end that might hamper your overall experience.

Maryland Man Drugs Father to Access His $400,000 in Bitcoin
https://decrypt.co/92072/maryland-man-drugs-father-to-access-his-400000-in-bitcoin

"After his father passed out, Ghershony used his father’s phone to move $400,000 of Bitcoin to an account he could control"

Probably this situation will not become a sensation, but I never understood people who store their bitcoins so that they can be stolen using a mobile phone.By installing any wallet program on your mobile phone, you tell many spyware about your cryptocurrency.

I am somehow guilty with this post as this hit me. Unfortunately, I store my BTCs in two (2) exchanges (one in my local exchange; other in bitpay since it accepts bech32 address). The problem associated with this is that the information is stored within my phone. In the event that it gets stolen, the thief "may" be able to access my funds and send it to another wallet.

Fortunately, those said exchanges have 2FA enabled where it requires my password before sending my BTCs. Though this may be the case, I do also think that it is a bad practice to keep my BTCs inside exchanges as they are prone to hacking, like what happened to several big exchanges in the past.
2433  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: stake.com- Does not have gambling responsibility on: February 05, 2022, 01:52:55 PM
Instead of self exclusion, you'd better looking for professional to recover your gambling addiction. It's your 100% responsibility to use the website or not, if you don't want to use the website why does you try to deposit and gamble again? Then you blamed them and want return of your last 2 deposit? It's really doesn't make sense.

I believe if you've got excluded by Stake for forever, you'll still use other casino due to your addiction.

I am a firm believer that prevention is definitely better than cure. If one acknowledges that he/she is suffering from any kind of addiction, it is recommended to be highly proactive about it (e.g. preventing any possible return from the addiction).

Whenever someone is truly committed into resolving his/her gambling addiction, it is necessary that there are steps that must be made to prevent him from going back. If by permanently excluding yourself from a gambling website, this can definitely help someone from suffering addiction ever again.

Guys just to give you an update, after 1-2 weeks of sending KYC documents and talking sa customer support ng coins.ph, they finally updated my verification level! If ever gusto niyo din tumaas yung verification level niyo guys after sending your enhanced KYC documents, talagang expect niyo ariund 7-14 days.

For Level 2 yan no? Grabe ang tagal ng period ng verification di gaya ng dati.

Pero worth naman kung talagang gamit na gamit ang coins.ph sa mga mga transaction.

Graduate ka na boss and wait mo na lang next year hehe. Congratulations.

Yup this is for level 2. Unfortunately, since unemployed din ako (staying with my dad), hindi ako makapag provide ng document na nag rereflect yung address ko and nakapangalan din sa akin. I'm still looking for ways para maging verified level 3 ako for more options and amount to cash-in/out- para in a way future-proof na ako with any transactions.

Congratulations. Okay na din yan at naging maayos na pero masyado nga lang talagang ma-process. Kung ako yung nasa kalagayan mo baka sumuko nalang ako.
Sa akin nung nagpa-enhanced at update kyc ako sa kanila, wala pang isang araw. Depende lang din siguro talaga kung sinong staff nila ang nagha-handle ng mga kyc approval natin. Hassle nga lang talaga kung wala kang ibang accounts at sa kanila lang din ang gusto mong service.

Thank you bro! Feeling ko, naka depende din siguro sa documents na ipapakita mo para ma-accept ka ng mabilis. Since unemployed ako and I am staying with my dad, siguro medyo nahirapan din sila at it took them time to accept it as they continuously asked for more KYC documents.
2435  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Do bitcoins have promissory notes? on: February 04, 2022, 06:20:30 PM
Isn't that necessary?

A promissory note is something that is convertible to cash (or considered good as cash) that can be circulated in the market. Since it does represent cash, you can primarily sell it to other people or endorse its value thereby making the holder of the note the owner of it. The problem with promissory notes is that it has the tendency of being faked out (i.e. fraud signatures, material alteration on the price, fake indorsements, etc.) which pose a problem to the current holder.

Unlike normal promissory notes, bitcoin has a record of its transaction through the blockchain technology. A block cannot be changed as it will constantly be checked in the blockchain which somehow defeats the purpose in the first place if it were to be considered as a PN.
2436  Economy / Gambling / Re: Information of Crypto Casinos License and KYC requirements on: February 04, 2022, 06:08:18 PM
No License, No KYC casinos are my favorites.

License means regulations, regulations means problems. Why would a casino need a license? The only thing a casino needs is a good reputation and it only takes some time to build it. freebitco.in is a very good example.

If I can't access to a casino like this, of course my second favorites are Licensed/No KYC casinos.

I somehow agree with your statement. Though what bothers me are unlicensed online gambling websites as they are unregulated. Though this may be the case, this can easily be remedied if the gambling website has proven itself to be relatively 'trustworthy' through the test of time (e.g. their overall time of service, etc.). But generally, I avoid unlicensed gambling websites especially if they are brand new and if they are still establishing their name on the market.

As for KYC, it is definitely a no-brainer for me. Why would I ever want to expose my identity to something that is unregulated/regulated which can potentially leak my information?
2437  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Pay for coffee with Bitcoin on: February 04, 2022, 05:33:57 PM
This is aimed at promoting Bitcoin adoption and, as a newbie member here, I wish to see your advice and suggestions.

Thank Odusko

I find it amusing to see that third-world countries are starting to adapt and integrate BTC in their mode of transactions on payments. I just do not understand on why some first world countries are missing out in this opportunity, given that cryptocurrencies are starting to take over predominantly on the market.

With your business model, how do you plan on receiving the payment on your end? Once the transaction has been confirmed, will that verify/imply that you have received the payment? My only comment with this would be the time when you receive such confirmation as this may create lines on the restaurant. Anyway, wishing you all the best on your business, OP.
2438  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [CHESS] World Championship 2021: Carlsen Vs. Nepomniachtchi on: February 04, 2022, 03:53:30 PM
yes, the faster the clock the more it'll happen
have you tried playing this 1 minute games on lichess?
almost impossible to predict all possible scenarios so fast.

Lichess has some good analysis tools too, quite useful for studying openings and game development
I have tried to pay games that fast, not on lichess but against computer software, and I can say that it is a nightmare, even if play at a regular speed there are positions so complex that it is very difficult to see the right movement, and when you have such a time restriction you are playing basically out of instinct, as soon as your opponent makes its movement you need to be prepared to do yours otherwise time will pass and soon enough you will find yourself with even more problems to manage the time you have left.

what helped me was reducing the time slowly over many plays...
now I can play 5 minutes games without stressing so much, still better to play slower ones but I find them enjoyable, lower than that is still hard and I find it the faster the game the more addicting it gets too

Lichess is a platform where it is a game of memorization and familiarization of opening repertoires and traps. Mostly, people who participate in lichess are skilled in knowing and recognizing patterns from the games they have played. That is why whenever I participate in lichess tournaments, I always blunder my pieces due to the time format of playing only under a minute.

Compared to players like Magnus, Alireza, and Andrew Tang where they can instantly play at any time format due to their skill, us beginners and normal human beings will most likely blunder every single time.

By the way just a recommendation, will it be possible if we could create like a "Chess Discussion Board" where we put all the relevant matches that were played instead of plaguing this board.

2440  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: February 01, 2022, 02:19:18 PM
What a game! 76ers beat the Memphis Grizzlies in OT successfully without Embiid and stopped Ja Morant from doing his thing and I think it was the best defensive play I've ever seen in the NBA. Though he managed to pass the ball to his teammate, the shot was not successful forced a turned over and the 76ers closed the game with 3 points lead and +2 points in a buzzer-beater.

Tyrese Maxey played amazing!
It was a good match to watch for everyone. Sorry for the Grizzlies fans, it must be sad to lose the game after such a good game. Ja Morant and Desmond Bane had a combined total of over 70 points. But it wasn't enough to win.
We couldn't watch Joel Embiid in this game, but we didn't need it Cheesy Philadelphia took the court with an incredible performance. Thanks to Drummund, Maxey and Harris we watched a very good game
I think that the Sixers already find a good point guard that will be a perfect for the team Smiley.

Just develop Maxey and trade Simmons. They don't need him. They need a PG that will be a good addition to the team and that is Maxey. That last play really is the game changer. That defensive play really saved the 76ers. Well for the Grizzlies fans out there, your team is playing well and most likely will enter the playoffs with at least in the top 4 (maybe). For Drummond, TBH I thought that he isn't a good fit for the team for some reasons but now I think that he has a contribution in every game and he is given more minutes than usual now that Embiid is out in some games.

Watching Ja Morant is like watching D. Rose during his prime. He can finish and attack the basket so flawlessly that any defender would be left on skates whenever he's on the court. He can also drive and finish like any other player since he is so acrobatic and flexible on the court. Though he missed a game winning free throw shot, if he could develop his jumper and free throw shooting, he will definitely be a threat or even a candidate for the next MVP. He just makes everyone around him so consistent and efficient in the court.
