Hello
I want some guidance to accept L. Bitcoin on my website preferably in PHP.
If it is not available then help me understand how can we generate invoices and how can we confirm if they have been paid.
Thanks

Sounds like something so overengineered that it'll go unused by most and will probably be vulnerable to other attacks. Most biometric systems are either insecure or unfeasible (a lot can use pattern matching and have multiple successes with different people).

It might become an additional layer of authentication but will face other issues (what if you're ill or in a space where you don't want to talk). Also what stops someone from recording you saying something (unless it gets you to say a random work that's "easy" to pronounce).

I was talking to a neighbour within the weekend and suddenly he grew so much passion in wanting to invest but now the problem is that his wanting me do this for him with excuses of not having the basic knowledge and I've told him to Google and do his own research about it.
I want to know if it's safe to buy Bitcoin without having the basic knowledge of it ?

I have been in a job I detested and although I somehow managed to stay at it for up to 4 years, I didn't even for once let go of my passionate hobby and other passive streams of income I was interested in at the time.
Today, one of my passive interests pays more than my salary. My mind has been yearning for a resignation, but opinions of others and family bears the message of patience with the job I so much detest for reasons ranging from inflation to fear of the unknown.

If you were in my shoes, what would be the best advice you would give yourself and adhere to in this instance?

great news

Russia is preparing to shut down refineries due to European sanctions.
Russian oil refineries are preparing for a forced stoppage of production due to the European embargo, under which oil products will fall after oil from February 5.
The downtime plan for oil refining, the largest manufacturing industry, which accounts for 15% of industrial production in Russia, will be a record in the history of available statistics in 2023, Reuters reports, citing data from Refinitiv Eikon.
In total, 7.9% of refinery capacity, or 26.55 million tons in terms of crude oil, will go to downtime and preventive repairs - 5.9 million tons more than in 2022. Actual downtime, as a rule, is twice the plan, recalls Reuters: at the end of last year, it amounted to almost 39.2 million tons.

The largest amount of idle capacity - 12.3% - is planned for Rosneft, Russia's largest mining company, which accounts for every second barrel extracted from the subsoil. At Lukoil and Gazprom Neft, the figures are several times lower - 5 and 4%, respectively.
In total, refineries that employ 120,000 Russians are preparing to cut production by 15% this year, a source familiar with the government's plans told Reuters earlier.
Sanctions on oil products, which Russia has traditionally exported to Europe, will have a much greater impact than an oil embargo, he explained: it is unlikely that it will be possible to collect a “shadow fleet” for diesel and gasoline, since the parties are usually smaller in volume, and in order to smuggling them into Asia would require many more ships.

According to the IEA, Russia exported on average about 1.2 million barrels of oil products per day in 2022. The closed European market will bring down volumes by 5 times - by the end of the first quarter, about a million barrels of daily exports will be left without buyers, BCS analyst Ronald Smith estimates.
Russia will not be able to produce oil products “for storage”: there are simply no storage facilities in the country where it would be possible to fill in the unsold. One option is to export more unrefined oil, writes Reuters. But how to do this remains a mystery: even the current volumes - 3-4 million barrels per day - are kept by oilmen at the price of huge discounts, offering barrels at half price. And such a policy “runs counter to the interests of the budget” and “cannot continue indefinitely,” says Marcel Salikhov, head of the Institute of Energy and Finance.

after doing dev work with ethereum and bitcoin it seems that both consensus options are blatantly fairly flawed. POW has obvious scaling issues and POS seems like a bandaid solution with wealthy people automatically being allocated more currency through an infinitely compounding cycle. Is the crypto/blockchain community not open to new type of consensus? It seems like POW and POS just keep getting updated rather than addressing the real issue and switching base mechanisms. Do others just not see issues with POW or POS?

Recently I have had numerous reunions with Uncles from my extended family. Some of them are successful businessmen for decades. They built their business from nothing and are living quite a comfortable life now. We had long conversations about life in general, including their key to success. I knew very well that they have been hard workers ever since I had a memory so I would contribute their success to endless efforts. However, one thing they had mentioned in common was luck. They believe pure luck made them meet and grasp those opportunities and become successful rather than their smartness and efforts. I've thought about this before and couldn't agree with this more. They've set very good examples to me, including my father, and now I tend to focus more on work itself consistently and let luck or fate takes the rest.

There ia the big evolution that allow live play roullete and black jack and more.

I consider bw the first one to open live casino street games.


The one that simple players play like 24 (alternatove to roullete)

Coin flip and more all broadcast from thr streets


What you think?

Edit; i dont think all understand here what live casino games means.

If you dont understand  what is live gamre watch endoephina is mean the bets ard played live by real person every few seconds. (Real blackjack dealer,real roulletr dealer etc)

So if you think it can be rigged it doesnt make sense. Live casino providers dont gain anything from rigging a game t


For example if lose win 5k hand live black in stake.com by evolultion provider. Evoulution gain about 0.5%.  
Stake.com gain the most.

Livecasino providers dont gain shit fron rigging games this why they are much better option than playing on a regular self made casino games. Is more trusty way to gamble.

Let's say you have 3 drives X Y Z

X has 100 GB of free space you would be ok using for the blockchain
Y has 300 GB
Z has 100 GB

Would it be possible to tell the client, "allocate 100GB to X, 300GB to Y, 100GB to Z" and have the files downloaded and verified in the right order?
And you could just keep adding further drives in case you ran out of space. Right now if you run out of space you have to buy a bigger device that allows at least 500GB at least once in case you used pruned mode, but for someone that wants to keep the entire blockchain this would be good. It would also give some usage for smaller drives you don't use much.

As many think “crypto will make me rich” it’s definitely not going to be Bitcoin. Even if it hits a new ATH and you buy here at $24K, you will maybe make 3x. Unless you buy millions you won’t get rich this way.

Bitcoin and ETH would of made you rich back in 2015 or so. You could of invested $10K in both and would of made great sums of money as long as you held. Gone are those days.

Is it safe to say that casino platforms is running their business with users find only? I read somewhere that they pay winners with losers money, I couldn't ask him or her if a casino can start business with zero fund at hand, I know that most of them wired their system to favour them more ( lose more and win less ) , if not they will run out of business fast I belief, what do you think about this? Was I wrong about this? Come to think of this, there is no prove that they have some money to pay winners.

The demography of bitcoin holders has been changing for some years now and that would definitely reflect in how the market reacts to major drops or pumps, and would also affect how the "4 year cycle" sequence works.

• When you have more weak hands with little understanding of what they are holding, you get quick dumps when the price drops and lots of FOMO when it pumps.
• When you have more holders who understand how it works and has had the liberty to understudy previous cycles and recoveries, you have more people who are confident in the network and are aware that short term price action is not relevant to long term investors.

I believe this would also change how the current cycle works and create a resistance to how low the bear market can go overtime.

The kind of people we have in government are people who always want to fight for their selfish interests,  anything that will surely benefit them. If it's something good that has to with better development for humanity as far as it won't benefit them they will surely go against it.

The reason government won't accept bitcoin is not because it is a decentralized currency,  it is because they won't be able to print it like they print fiat  to steal as much as they can .

If bitcoin is something the government can manipulate to steal public fund they would accept it even before now without any delay.

Too many people are using Cryptocurrencies today to get the general public to accept jail time for developers.  I think and hope at least.  If they get jail time, we are about to live a very dystopian world soon.  So either everyone revolts or we get to live the worst lives we could be living.  Our freedoms would be over with.

I really want to hope it is not as simple as 'they make it illegal and we go to jail'.  And I really hope you are not accepting this idea so easily that a change of law can retroactively turn you into a criminal.

I saw this news and it got me thinking if the growth of Bitcoin in the United States is gonna be hindered since the government plans on introducing the digital dollar. Though I've no idea how it's gonna work.

Quote from:  copied from https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/president-biden-gives-crypto-a-bitter-taste-of-what-lies-ahead/ar-AA1207rp
The White House is urging the Federal Reserve to explore the launch of a digital dollar, or Central Bank Digital Currency, which would be controlled by the Fed. This identical digital twin of the dollar would be entirely regulated.

A U.S. digital dollar "facilitates faster cross-border transactions and is environmentally endurable," the Biden government explained. "It could facilitate financial inclusion and equity by enabling access for a broad set of consumers."

It could also "protect against cyberbullying and operational risks, safeguard the privacy of sensitive data, and minimize risks of illicit financial transactions."

In addition, the White House believes a U.S. digital dollar "could also help preserve U.S. global financial leadership, and support the effectiveness of embargoes."


I don't think this will be that much of an issue since the so-called "Digital Dollar" is still gonna be governed by the Federal Government which makes it not decentralized, unlike Bitcoin.

But what do you guess?

So I discovered a bug affecting a mode of play at OwlGames casinos that results in certain games rewarding more money than they should.  I tried to report it to OwlGames but was told that they have no bug bounty program and to "enjoy the bug" (not kidding).  (of course their docs say that any "exploit" can result in not being paid out, but it's not an exploit if it's simply how things run under the given conditions - not that that would stop them from screwing someone over I'm sure)

Their poor attitude certainly doesn't do much to make me want to help them out anymore although that was my intent. 

But since it is only certain games, from 1 provider, should I try to contact that provider instead?  It's possible I imagine that it's not just OwlGames that might possibly lose money to the issue, though I really don't know.

I guess since these are casinos, losing a couple hundred to a few players every few days that would otherwise not have won anything maybe is just a drop in the bucket.  But I found it so strange that they immediately just alerted me that they have no bounty program.  Aren't casinos supposed to be pretty protective of their money even if they have a ton of it? 

Anyone else have any experiences of trying to report issues like this?  I want to be rewarded for my time verifying the issue without taking advantage of it and alerting someone about it, too, so I'm also just worried about giving the info out and having them come up with some excuse like "oh it just needed a restart it's fine now, that's not a bug."

That is my prediction, and I am expecting bitcoin to drop and fall further. Many people are expecting bitcoins to rise again because they bought bitcoins at a high price or they have accumulated enough of their bitcoins. But I still want to buy bitcoin cheaply, so I expect it to drop more, and in the current economic situation, I really hope my prediction is correct.

Maybe you think I'm promoting my new campaign but it's not like that, I learned about this service and I want to talk about it.  It is an exchange with the sale of files with payment in Bitcoin, so far nothing striking but in a nutshell the service is an escrow for files in various ways whether they are text or image.  Let's say you wrote a text for a newspaper or a publisher or you have an image that a customer wants to buy, well 3 steps: upload the file, share the link and sell the file.  Simple, clean, fast.  I just uploaded the first original format but in a special format for printing 50X70 the Bitcoin whitepaper that you can hang and display at your home, so you can buy it for a minimum amount of about 10 dollars and so we will test the service together.  Good fun.

btc i had in the couple adresses are gone, because in my country it was still illegal, no matter we're in EU, they do sent em for government use or lets say, they stealed from me for their personal good.
