...Besides Zksync we also need to pay attention to Layer Zero, I think it's also a good project...

For those who are active in Layer Zero and zkSync networks, there is good news: "Layer Zero is now live on zkSync Era mainnet" - https://twitter.com/LayerZero_Labs/status/1651588515652845568. This means that when interacting with one of the networks, there will be count interactions in the other network as well.

If Stargate Finance would start having a bridge to zkSync that would be great.  Been using them to transfer between chains and they've been great so far.  Just a couple of bucks in fees and never had any problems so far.  

Anyway, there isn't much to do in zkSync besides the usual.  And there isn't much stables flowing in that would make devs offer their services in the chain.  I saw a new lending protocol tho which should come in handy if you want more chain activity.

^  No, not seriously...  Lol.  I'm pretty sure you know what memecoins are and if you got what this thread is all about, I think you prolly should've realized by now that you don't have to take everything itt seriously.  And I think the proliferation of PEPE's growth in market cap shows that 1000x or close to it are not a total pipe dream.  It's just a matter of finding the right criteria...  I was focused totally on coins with doge logos which was wrong.  Frogs, bears and wojaks look like they're gonna rule the memes of crypto.

And these are actually a lot more fun to gamble in.  Just put 10 - 20 bucks in it and see how it goes.  

I got airdrops of some memecoins in Arbitrum for being an ARB claimer.  AIDOGE, REKT, LSDOGE and DROP...  I'm staking them til 2025 and see where they take me.  Not hoping for much tho.  It's all for the lulz.





Do you realize how few amd far between the coins that eventually 1000x themselves.  Most coins and tokens are just scams and depend on this notion that you can turn $100 into a million dollars fairly easily.  I know there are coins that can and have done 1000x but anyone here arguing how that's possible and even worse recommending coins that they think will is just garbage.  More people will just end up losing money to these scams with this idea in their head that they will just get rich.

Oh I'm very sure.  Do you realize that I'm a degenerate gambler who likes putting in small amounts of money in this stuff and doesn't take it seriously?

A lot of people are serious lately.  What happened?
1224  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 03, 2023, 12:57:00 PM
It looks like Manchester United have already determined their alternative strikers to transfer this summer in case of failing to bring Harry Kane. These candidates look like Kolo Muani, Tammy Abraham and Lautaro Martinez. Kolo Muani's performance here might be suspicious. And I would prefer Martinez over an Abraham transfer honestly.

Because Martinez looks like the best scorer among these candidates. He isn't only a scorer of course. I believe that he can be a good team player as well. However I feel like the Red Devils will manage to convince Kane to join them. I don't expect Kane to stay at Tottenham especially after this very bad season. He would like to stay in this country at the same time I assume.

Wait what?  Tammy Abraham?  Will look it in a moment but isn't he the Chelsea reject who was loaned multiple times outside the EPL because there just wasn't spot for him?  From what I've seen, he was decent but somebody you never thought who'd play at United.  He was a bit young too from what I remember.  

I'm pretty sure he got better as Ten Haag is interested.

Edit:  Ah he's with Mou at Roma.  Nice.

Just dropping by to get these vids in itt.  I've been watching me some Embedded again after skipping them mosty in the prior PPV events.  It isn't just as entertaining as it used to...  But with Cejudo back, I'm taking a peek.

Any of you guys backing Muhammad this weekend?  I was thinking Burns last week but I just find it hard to fade Muhammad.  I think he'll have the right game plan just as he did vs Thompson, Sean Brady and Luque.  :/  The line is a close to a coin flip now but could move towards Muhammad's favor imho.

^  Nah I'm just here to find out what you guys think in these parts.  There's no right or wrong answer to the poll imho.  We're here to know the current sentiment.  It's not about trying to get the right answer or somewhat 'winning a contest'.

That's why I appreciate dragonvslinux's posts as he just takes what's happening with BTC now and makes educated guesses on what could happen.  It's not about the results, it's about the process and letting the chips fall where they may...  But do have stop losses tho to limit the bleeding if you're trading.
1227  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: May 02, 2023, 01:02:17 PM
another draw for Everton, and it seems that it is it for this season, four matches to go, home fixture with City, it will be hard to expect to avoid relegation
we started good yesterday, until goal, and than stopped to conceieve two fast goals, afterwards it was a battle and it looks as both Lwicester and Everton can't play a 90 minute match

onwards ro Brighton next Monday, but that is why from expecting anything

I feel sorry for Everton tbh.  They were a permanent fixture in the upper midtable of the EPL during the genius Moyes reign in the club.  The moment Moyes left for United, they wanted more and started splashing the cash on players and hiring manager they thought could take them to the top 4, that's when everything started falling apart. 

It would've been a more prudent move to have hired Moyes back as soon as he became available imho.  But hindsight is 50 - 50.  :/

The question now should be:
can Perez fight for the title against Max until the end of the season?

I don't think the other team can gain 1 second per lap in races to compete with them.

That would be something imho.  And it would show how good really Verstappen is and all the argument that it's just because of the car will come to a close.  It's pretty much the same point I was making about Vettel before during his RBR days.  If Vettel was a bad driver and just depended on the car then why can't Webber, who was a decent F1 driver himself, couldn't out race Vettel and make the competition between them close?

Anyway, it's starting to show that Perez might have other plans and wouldn't just play second fiddle.  The genius of Horner is he already got Perez's replacement ready...  Ricciardo.
1229  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: May 02, 2023, 12:43:54 PM



Yup...  Cejudo remained somewhat active in training during his days in retirement.  But more on training other fighters for their matches rather than training himself for a match.  And I think he's pretty good at it at Fight Ready MMA with Eddie Cha.

It could even make him more of a cerebral fighter as he has now a lot of inputs in how these different fighters fight in the cage because he studied them a lot.  The line is a coin flip tho.  Would've preferred Cejudo as the underdog.

Anyway here are some vids to watch.

UFC 288:  Countdown
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAS3Tr6Xx2c

UFC Free Fight:  Cejudo vs Moraes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Vaom9LWarQ

UFC Free Fight:  Sterling vs Sandhagen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prc8lWaMTTo

I also think the same Henry Cejudo is still in shape with those training partners he has and judging from his fight with Moraes, you can see that Cejudo doesn't have the height but I think he can catch up to Aljamain Sterling with his strength I think he is conditioning for the grappling for sure because he knew that Sterling will be active with the grapple, but in my opinion, Aljamain Sterling will stay in the stand-up and will unleash multiple strikes because he knew the power of Cejudo on the ground, but I think Cejudo will manage to get him on the ground for sure,




Playing stand up vs Cejudo could prove detrimental for Sterlng as Cejudo has the power and is the more explosive guy.  I think the best match to watch to somehow gauge Cejudo and how he might fare against Sterling is Cejudo's match up vs Dominick Cruz.  Cruz is an unorthodox striker just like Sterling and was also a collegiate wrestler, again like Sterling.

https://www.mma-core.com/videos/Henry_Cejudo_vs_Dominick_Cruz_Full_Fight_UFC_249_Part_I/10352059

So yeah, it all depends what kind of Cejudo shows up in the cage.  If it's the prime Cejudo then he's gonna finish Sterling imho.

Kamaru Usman has started throwing fight calls against  Chimaev Cheesy After two losses, I think people have started to forget about former champion, and now he has started to show some activity in media. Previously, when Usman was a champ, he has refused offers to fight from Chimaev. Now, when Chimaev is planning to face Costa in middleweight, Usman, a welterweight is calling Chimaev for a fight. That would be really interesting to watch imho.

I think it's a good match up for both.  Usman will be a good litmus test for Chimaev and if Chimaev gets the W then we def now know he's good to go for a title shot.  On the other hand if Usman wins his stock goes back up again.  And the fight would be a banger.  Wink

1233  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: zkSync Era Airdrop Guide on: May 01, 2023, 01:00:04 PM
The issue I find with ZkSync is that it seemed way too many people are trying to abuse the airdrop. You got tons of people on discord asking every 5 mins if there will be an airdrop and you got people basically creating tons of accounts to farm as much of this airdrop as possible...

One way or another, but the commissions on the ZkSync network are not much lower than in ERC-20, and if you decide to create a lot of accounts in order to receive airdrop, you will have to spend badly on commissions. And since there are no official guarantees that early participants will be rewarded, participants will be careful to create additional accounts.

And after SUI's sudden change of plans of going for their presale which really looks more like a more organized and elaborate ICO leveraging different exchanges, I think other projects will see this and soon be thinking of doing the same thing.  

But it's still not bad to go and hunt for airdrops, esp if you're just starting out and still building your bankroll.  Just be aware that nothing in all of this is a sure thing...  I still feel I just got lucky to be included in the Arbitrum snapshot tbh.  Could have easily missed it.
1234  Economy / Speculation / BTC Sentiment Poll for May on: May 01, 2023, 12:43:27 PM
There's a saying among old school traders that goes 'sell in May and go away' as historically May is a bad month for trading stocks and commodities.  They take this time to be in the side lines and evaluate what their next move is gonna be for the following month of June and beyond.  

As we're not really pros around these parts, it could be food for thought...  Dunno.  :/

It's looking like it's losing a bit of momentum tho.

1235  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: May 01, 2023, 12:35:16 PM
Now that is the main event fight that people should not miss. I think Henry, after a 3 year pause, is still able to take compete on a high level and become a champion. I think he is same prodigy fighter like Jon Jones (even though I dont like him), that is always ready to perform on high level. I also think that it will be a repeat of Jones vs Gane fight, when a fighter after a pause is still a favorite and Henry would win. Anyway, this is going to be a cats and mice game, who will be first to catch his opponent and submit.

Yup...  Cejudo remained somewhat active in training during his days in retirement.  But more on training other fighters for their matches rather than training himself for a match.  And I think he's pretty good at it at Fight Ready MMA with Eddie Cha.

My picks for the UFC Fight Night: Song vs. Simón

Yadong Song VS Ricky Simón

The stake odds for this fight are 199 for Yadong and 1.83 for Simon, For me Ricky Simon is a dedicated wrestler and for a pure striker like Yadong, Simon is his weakness for sure I am seeing a Petr Yan VS Merab Dvalishvili vibe in this fight and as you all know Ricky Simon defeated Merab Dvalishvili with a guillotine choke, so for me, Ricky Simon has the gas tank to takedown Song Yadong like what Merab Dvalishvili did to Petr Yan this is what I am seeing what may happen in this fight, but if Song Yadong doesn't mix Striking with some wrestling he will not win against Ricky Simon,

Caio Borralho VS Michał Oleksiejczuk

The stake odds for this fight are 1.28 for Borralho and 3.75 for Oleksiejczuk For this fight Michał Oleksiejczuk is a striker with power in his punch so Borralho will need to be very careful in taking that shots, while Caio Borralho has a good leg kick that could always pressure Oleksiejczuk with it, and could also shoot some takedowns when needed for a decent defense from that power shots of Oleksiejczuk, Caio can end this fight with his kicks or even on the ground so my pick is Caio Borralho,

Cody Brundage VS Rodolfo Vieira

The stake odds for this fight are 1.43 for Viera and 2.85 for Brundage, for this fight I can see that Rodolfo Viera was good on the ground while Cody Brundage surely has some ground skill but he is also great on stand-up but like everyone said here a dedicated wrestler will surely prevail if he shoots takedowns dedicatedly, so my pick Rodolfo Viera,





The line is prolly just right in the Vieira vs Brundage bout but I feel like Brundage could get the upset here.  If he could hold on and have the match go to the third round, I think Vieira's cardio might not last and Brundage could finish him off.  Dunno...  He should defend all take downs as hard as he can until Vieira gasses.

Anyway here are the weigh ins and the face off.  A couple of fighters missed weight but no cancellations.  The UFC couldn't afford to as there just 11 matches.

At least the title race has hotted up a bit. City have two games in hand still so they'll probably over take Arsenal soon enough. Fulham and West Ham are their next two fixtures but they've still got the Champions League to contend with as well.

Yeah but as you said City still has a couple more matches to play.  I think the momentum is shifting towards City's side.  I think Guardiola is going to win the league...  Again.  And he's gonna get eliminated by Real Madrid at the Champions League...  Again.  Cheesy

That's gonna be funny and not in a good way as the UCL is getting a bit too ridiculous for City now.  Can't wait to watch both legs and laugh out loud if the Italian out foxes Pep again.

He must give up one to get the other. But the question is, which will Pep let go? the CL or the league. The pressure is now on City, who have more matches to play than Arsenal and will face Real Madrid in a few weeks, whose only goal this season is to reclaim the Champions League. The Laliga title is getting out of reach.

City has a deep squad.  They could handle both competitions but should slightly be giving a bit more priority to the Champions League imho, as they're facing the Italian and his boys from the capital of Spain.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy  So yeah...  He should be resting some his best players.  

Their next EPL matches are up against Fulham, West Ham and Leeds.  They go to Madrid after that.  :/  Would've been easier if the first leg was at Manchester.

Edit:  Am I seeing this right?  Brighton 6 - 0 vs Wolverhampton?
1239  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: April 29, 2023, 03:34:24 PM
There are rumors that Jude Bellingham has finally chosen Real Madrid over the other clubs; Liverpool and Manchester city. Liverpool emerged favorites to sign earlier this season, but they dramatically pulled out of the race to sign him. If the deal goes through, I think this will be a good addition to their team. He has a good work rate. This is one dirty player. He can sit, roam around, and make third man runs. He will bring physicality to that midfield. Honestly that’s a tactical edge to Real Madrid in the El classicos.

Regardless of this player's destination for next season, it's sad to see Dortmound can't keep one of the best players for another season because we know one reason for Dortmound to get these results is Bellingham during this season because Bellingham is the most valuable player in Dortmound and currently PSG and Manchester City trying to hire this player.

That's because Dortmund historically has always been a club that buys low and sells high.  They have a knack for pin pointing young talent and they're also good at developing them into great players then sell them to bigger clubs for huge sums of money.

As for Bellingham, I've always wondered why the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea never paid attention on the guy.  He could've played in England instead of getting shipped out to Germany.

I think the best destination for him would be at Real Madrid...  That's if they don't make a Bale out of him.
1240  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: zkSync Era Airdrop Guide on: April 28, 2023, 03:36:39 PM
I agree with you, Zksync will be the next ARB. we just need to be active on their ecosystem and hope to qualify for their Airdrop. Besides Zksync we also need to pay attention to Layer Zero, I think it's also a good project.

for Airdrop info and guide I have recommendations to follow. please check this twitter account. I think can be used as a reference

Not sure if zkSync's average airdrop per wallet would be as big as Arbitrum's but with a little bit of sweat equity and some payment for gas fees, it should be decent enough to help you build a stack to use for the upcoming bull market.

And yeah I have my eye on Layer Zero for a while now.  Been using some protocols that's been built on top of it.  I'll try to make another guide about it soon.  Wink

I have almost similar guide like you but it seems like that you shall try to add more things in your guide.

I just recommend to add 1inch task and layer zero task.





That's what the forum is for...  Let's share info.  Please add other protocols you think that's good to use.  

Anyway, the difference between Arbitrum and zkSync is when I started to use Arbitrum, there were already some interesting protocols in there besides the usual bridging, swapping and LP'ing protocols.  Arbitrum already had an options exchange, an auto compounding protocol and lending.
