Man loses $60M in Bitcoin when landlord cleaned the house and sent everything to the dump by mistake

Quote
Clifton Collins, a former security guard and a beekeeper turned weed grower/dealer, lost $60 million when his landlord cleaned out the house he’d been renting and sent everything to the dump — including Collin’s fishing rod case that hid his Bitcoin codes. Without the codes, the accounts can’t be accessed.

He had both BTCitcoin and Drugs. All wasted now Lips sealed
Lesson learned: Own a f**king room atleast when you have shit load of money and keep your codes safely.

Wow. Good comeback by SA. At one point AUS needed 27 runs from 20 balls and they ended up scoring only 14 runs out of the 20 balls. Exceptional bowling from Nigidi and Rabada. Didn't expect SA to win by 12 runs when Warner was still in crease.
707  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 23, 2020, 02:03:38 PM
I don't think they need a miracle or anything. The Indian bowlers can destroy the NZ batting lineup if they bowl the right lengths. All the batsmen need to do at this stage is to drag the game for as long as possible and post a target close to 250 minimum.

Sharma and Ashwin are already performing currently. If Bumrah joins the party, they can do wonders. Also, if it starts raining again, it could possibly end up in a draw. This is why test results are always tough to predict.

Target close to 250? Not happening. Currently, they are trail by 40 runs or so. Rahane, Vihari and Pant are the only batsmen left for India, I don't they'll be able to score another 300 runs tomorrow. Even if they miraculously manage to post such a target, there is still one day left for NZ to win the match. So this match is a goner for India.

Nice. Will check and update  Smiley

I really enjoyed the quiz, I haven't even heard of certain things but I believe the quiz was a bit easy as you can easily identify the answers from the options except for the dates and values. The response page was good, but you could have shown answers Smiley

Get one Raffle for me and do I need to post every month for next Raffle? I didn't get in mind actually I am first time to hear about Raffle.
Check this thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5223597.0. 3 spots still left. Try your luck 👍
A new Raffle/Lottery will be posted every month and you'll have to pick a number, no randoms.



As Chennappa21 mentioned above, there are still 3 spots (actually 4) left to be filled. I believe that a few high ranking members are avoiding the lottery to give chance for the newbies, that's why it's not filled up yet. It's already been 15 days since the start of the topic and it's still open. Let's not drag this on. I would like all the old members to participate in the lottery including the topic starter (Heisenberg). If you don't want the prize amount, it's fine. @deadley @eality @stedsm @JSRAW @hacker1001101001 etc Just participate, if the topic is open for over 10-15 days and send the funds back to the escrow address, if you win. Just my thoughts.

@JSRAW Special thanks for the level-up merit bro Smiley @Indymoney @Pffrt Thanks both of you and all our cricket community members Smiley

@deadley Apart from what JSRAW said, you are eligible for only 5 default picks in this tournament. I won 2 out of 3 default bets and I'm left with only 2 more defaults, so you @Harkorede don't have to worry that I'll stay on top for much longer ;p

Best of luck to all those who joined the Pool  Smiley

I will not be playing this one. But I joined the pool just to see who leads the leaderboard from time to time  Cheesy



Edit: Wtf. I just registered and didn't make any bets, then how did I end up at 4th spot in the leaderboard Huh

Edit 2: Understood. Default Picks.

HOW MUCH BITCOIN YOU NEED TO BE IN THE RICHEST 1% OF BTC HOLDERS

Quote
According to the BlockWorks Group analyst, you only need 0.28 BTC to be in the top 1% richest of the world (in BTC terms).

No more than 5-10 million people will ever own a full Bitcoin

This naturally implies an unfair uneven distribution of the wealth as “whales, hodlers, nations and institutions” hold the lion’s share.

  Bitcoin is distributed perfectly fairly based on the time, effort and passion each person put into acquiring and holding their share.  The only natural implication here is that most people ignored Bitcoin until it was too late for them to afford their "fair" share.  Do people get paid to write this tripe?


Updated OP.
I believe that you got carried away by the word "unfair". Now I have fixed it for you.

Almost everything in the world is unevenly distributed and someone will always complain that something is unfair.

The point is not about the distribution, it is about the minimum requirement of Bitcoin to be among the 1% BTC rich. The reason I shared the article is that I'm very happy that I'm close to hodling 0.28BTC and will be one of the 1% BTC rich peeps by this year or the next if Bitcoin doesn't rise parabolically. It was a 2+ year-long journey for me.

PS: Not sure if "carried away" is the apt word, but I tried. English is not my first language.

There is also this Telegram bot @ETHtokenExplorer_bot where you can get transaction notifications  Smiley You can avoid using your email address to receive notifications.
715  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [Need help] What should be done when the transaction fails due to "Out of Gas"? on: February 20, 2020, 12:57:34 PM
Either the gas limit and gwei are low as mentioned above or the tokens might have been locked.

Edit: Just checked your address 0x26cfe324f40817e9fe8c6d1262c82a74e010ff9a. Looks like the issue was fixing low gas limit and your have moved the tokens. Please close the topic as issue was resolved.

@DdmrDdmr, Royse himself admitted that he was a hero member, when merit was introduced.

Unlucky me that I was already a hero at that time :-P
It's such a privilege to be a Legendary from 0 merit.

718  Local / India / Re: Binance finally integrated WazirX P2P (How good is it?) on: February 17, 2020, 05:26:31 PM
The first part is really good for Indians. Binance is a hugh liquidity exchange so I don't see issues there. But I am actually worried about the second part of the story.

I am not sure how my bank will react if I receive a credit from a known crypto exchange!! There has been reports that SBI and Axis bank has freezed few accounts in suspicion of crypto tie. That area needs to be clarified first!
You are not going to get credited INR from a Crypto Exchange. Converting USDT to INR and viceversa is still based on P2P matching in WazirX.
719  Local / India / Re: NEW PEOPLE JOINING INDIAN SUB: INTRO AND MERIT on: February 16, 2020, 04:39:32 PM
Not a newbie, but still consider this as an intro about myself.

I clearly don't remember how I stumbled upon this forum. Most probably it would be a Google search. But back then I was focussed mainly on doing social media bounties which I later understood to be a mere waste of time to gain few useless tokens. Lately, I understood that I shouldn't be focussing on earning useless tokens rather than improving my understanding of cryptocurrencies in general. I do like the opportunity available in the forum for earning Bitcoin through signature bounties. Nowadays, browsing through the forum and reading stuff amongst my daily work schedule has become more of a habit. Happy to be part of the friendly community.



AFAIK, there is no official merit source who is active on India local board
There are 2 merit sources who are very much active in our local board. It's too bad that you still can't identify them.

A superb final. When SA scored 222, I thought they are going to win the series. But after the early loss of Roy, Butler and Bairstow made a nice partnership and seemed to be in the upper hand. But SA seemed to be back in the game when they dismissed Bairstow but the ENG captain, Morgan took the match away from them with some really nice hard hittings. I honestly didn't believe that ENG would be chasing such a massive total. Well done  Smiley

@JSRAW congrats on your winning bet
