1701  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH Sentiment Poll for December on: December 27, 2022, 03:45:12 PM
At this point I’m holding till it hits 5000 or crashes to zero.  Traded early and my original investment has already been taken out.  Not sure I’ll buy back in.  It seems the crypto craze is dying out.  I’m waiting to see the next pump, but starting to feel like it might go the way of nft’s

Pretty sure the next bull market is gonna take ETH over 5k and prolly go high enough to make everybody think of a real flippening?  I feel like it could the be time when ETH really starts pushing the boundaries to snatch the no. 1 spot in CMC.  The odds are against it and it will fail in getting the spot but it could at least make it close enough to be a threat.  That I think will be one of the next bull market's biggest surprises.  Wink  The other one could be like you said...  NFT's.  And my bets are any NFT with a doge in them.  As I said before, if Elon Musks as much as sneezes about DOGE or any coin with a dog logo, there's a high chance some doge NFT's get some money coming into them too.

Well thanks to John Foss' newsletter here is the tech info for Seraphis:

https://gist.github.com/UkoeHB/f508a6ad973fbf85195403057e87449e

And for Jamtis... the new addressing scheme:

https://gist.github.com/tevador/50160d160d24cfc6c52ae02eb3d17024

These are mammoth consensus changes in my opinion.  Monero has always had a somewhat progressive approach to consensus level changes.

I am not technical enough to know what the risks are (and I am pretty technical).  But I can see well enough that this stuff is going to introduce a lot of possibility of risk.

I am not trying to FUD by any means.. and the Monero community has ALWAYS had an environment welcoming dubious opinion.  So I am stating a firsh blush opinion that I hope the right amount of caution is being taken in introducing these changes.

I think it would be naive to assume that there are not powerful, smart, actors that would love to change monero in a way that would cause it to have a chink in it's armor. 

How do we know that consensus changes of this level are not exactly that?

Here's something I wondering about...  First just to let you guys know, I haven't been reading a whole lot of info about XMR in Reddit and Twitter for more around 4 years now, my Twitter account is now exclusively following some guys doing MMA prediction stuff and I've unfollowed everybody in crypto. 

The only guy I tag or ping in crypto is Fluffy and that's just in tweets that are related to helping dogs.

Anyway, the thing I'm wondering about is if Fluffy supports the changes or not...

^  Same thoughts here about Mitrovic or at least that's what some football journos were saying and I believed it.  I had Crystal Palace to win 1 - 0 in our pool and thinking Zaha is gonna score the goal of the match.  :/  These couple of weeks after the World Cup are gonna be slightly unpredictable for club football.  Maybe not with the big clubs but more with the mid tier clubs... 

I'd say the results of Everton vs the Wolves and Crystal Palace vs Fullham were slightly unexpected.  And that 2 - 2 draw with Brentford vs Tottenham.  Lol.  A lot of guys were going for an away win in that match.  I'd say Chelsea vs Bournemouth too could end up with a 2 - 2.
1704  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: December 27, 2022, 02:03:55 PM
Chimaev seems to be ready for anyone and even said he would fight Pereira for a title, take it, and then go down to welterweight for Covington if Dana White will pursue that kind of path.
The date was said to be in March, and Covington had not fought for 9 months, it will be a year of rest in March 2023. So I think he will be the one Chimaev will face.
In UFC 284 Chimaev will fight with Volkanovski in lightweight division, so Chimaev is risk his title right? which mean if Volkanovski win, he will get lightweight title, if he lose he wouldn't lose anything? also does Volkanovski lost his belt since he's lower his division? I'm not quite understand about this matter.

It looks like, there's will be a lower champion will fight with higher champion due to lack of tough fighter.

I think you got confused.  You're talking about Islam Makhachev.  And yes, Volk is moving up to 155 and is going for Makhachev's belt.  And if Volk wins, he gets to be double champ.  One title at 145 and another one at 155.  If Makhachev wins then he defended his belt at 155 and Volk doesn't lose his belt at 145.  That's how it works.

And yup, Volk really has fought almost everybody at the top in his weight class that he needs to move up and fight at 155.  It's good timing too imho.  When was the last time we had a couple of champs in the cage?

Nunez's performance made me appreciate Timo and Lukaku even more; he's had 16 chances to score this season and has missed 12 of them. Whoever convinced Liverpool to pay 100 million pounds for Nunez deserves an Oscar. Grin
He is failing to finish all the time. Although the assist for the last goal was amazing. If Nunez was scoring then we could have half a dozen of goals today.
However, he was not given the assist. If Nunez had been the 2pac shooter, 2Pac would still be alive today. I'm hoping he doesn't miss out on training.  Cheesy




Lololol!  C'mon man be nice to the guy cos who knows, his second season could be way better than how he's playing right now.  I mean it's his first year in the big leagues and he's just 23 years old.  I think he deserves a couple more years to bloom and shine in the EPL.  That and there's no way Liverpool could sell him with his price tag they acquired him for.  Lol.  Grin

As for the pool, I think I give up.  I'm 26 points off the top and everytime I make my picks, I don't know what I'm doing half the time.  I think I should start looking more closely into the stats as much as I used to.  I used to take hours looking into Soccerstats a couple of years back.

Ferrari still have quite much time until the launch of their new season car. I don't know if they would show anything about the power of the car. Maybe we would barely be able to see it by the beginning of testing sessions. They need to give the best car they can to Leclerc and Sainz this time.

I don't know if it's still confirmed, but I had read that Ferrari would have an engine with 30 more horsepower for the 2023 Formula 1 season, a result achieved with an "innovative solution" in the design of the unit.
Furthermore, they promised to "attack" and solve the reliability problems that so plagued Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz this last season.

Ferrari's problems arose because they needed to "pump" their engine to the maximum before the blockade that affected all teams, but now, by the rules, they can still make some adjustments to try to solve the problems that remain, and that's what they want extract that extra power.

I still have hope that Ferrari will perform well in 2023, I really root for this team and hope that it can match Mercedes.

Ferrari indeed have the potential to prepare the fastest car on the grid now. This isn't the thing they didn't do before. The beginning of last season was just like that. But we all wonder how consistent they would be later on. Because they gave big hopes to Tifosis after that solid start but disappointed them in a short time after.

This time they could find Mercedes as a very strong opponent in the title race together with Red Bull as well. This would fire up the competition even more so Ferrari don't have the luxury of making big mistakes.

I pretty much doubt Ferrari would have the engine for 30 more horse power.  Lol.  That's prolly just some journos from somewhere trying to hype the next season and make all the Ferrari fans hopeful.  If there's a team that's gonna challenge for a title next season, it's def Mercedes imho.  They have the best engineering team in F1.  With Ferrari, who's building their car?  The guy who built them the best cars resigned.  Grin

Anyway...  68 days to go before 'lights out' in Bahrain!

^  At Tapology the schedule says it's gonna be on Dec 31 at 8:00pm ET, the usual schedule for many UFC PPV events.  But there's gonna be a tape delay with the US broadcast.

https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/94478-bellator-mma-vs-rizin

In some sites it says Rizin 40 starts at Dec 31 at 4:00am ET then it's immediately followed by Bellator vs Rizin event.  It's prolly going to be a couple of hours after.

https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/94453-rizin-40

So yeah...  Since the event is held in Japan, it makes sense.  Rizin 40 gonna start late in the afternoon in Japan around 5:00pm and Bellator vs Rizin around 7:00pm - 8:00pm of Dec 31.

I see a couple of guys forgot to make their picks for Spurs game today, here is tag for the regulars that I know usernames by heart. Those other few that have different usernames will hopefully find their own way to the pool:
@tomahawk9 @tokeweed @Welsh @icopress

You guys still have time to catch main kick off time.

Spurs played as expected, waited to get 2:0 down before starting to play and in the end got 2:2 draw. Always nice to open the league with perfect score after the long break. And I also had both to score on the ticket so hopefully this is a beginning of some good things for me Smiley

Trofo and igehhh, feeling proud of yourselves?
Not particularly, this one and 2:0 for Arsenal were only 2 scores I was somewhat confident about when making them. As I said, went just like I expected it. Even down to exactly one attacking return from Kane which I called in my fantasy chat Smiley

Yeah, I forgot but I made my picks, predictions around 30 mins ago.  I would've gone for 1 - 1 for Brentford vs Totteham so missing the match wouldn't have really mattered as I would've gotten just 1.5 points.  From a betting perspective, I was leaning towards draw no bet for Brentford at 2.80 as posted at JollyGood's thread but I didn't have the confidence to pull the trigger even for a small bet.  Turned out it didn't really matter...

I'm also leaning towards draw no bet for Aston Villa at 3.10 who's playing at home vs Liverpool.  What do you guys think?

The more breaking news is Texeira vs Hill. I remember that Texeira refused Ankalaev and Blachowicz, because he was waiting for Prochazka (who is recovering quickly, injury seems to not so bad + there is a funny story behind that injury), and now he has chosen Hill. Hill supposed to meet Antony Smith (who seems to be a much better opponent for Texeira) march 2023. But Hill was pulled out to face Texeira January 22. Basically Hill has 1 month to prepare against a BJJ guy, former champ, while being a basic boxer, during Xmas while being a father of 6 Cheesy Good Luck.

If Hill can't defend Teixeira's TD's I think it's gonna be a long night for Hill.  Hopefully he fixed his holes in the wrestling and grappling department.  The old guy can still fight.  Cardio's a bit shot tho as shown in his match against Prochazka.  But Teixeira prolly learned from it and fixed it. 

As for Teixeira, he should be clinching a lot and grind Hill against the cage as Hill has a bit of power in hands.  I rate Hill's boxing slightly better than Prochazka's.
1713  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Looking for the Next Great 1000x on: December 23, 2022, 08:29:49 AM
I've seen a couple or so newbie accounts asking for a 'criteria' on how to choose an altcoin that would have the greatest potential to be a 1000x coin.

I'm gonna throw around some ideas but as all of you already know, this is in no way financial advice.  This is just all for the lulz and it would be cool if you guys throw your own ideas in the mix too...  So here goes.

Criteria to find the next 1000x coin:

It must not be listed in any of the major exchanges.  This is not a hard rule but I noticed that 1000x coins are mostly unknown.

It must have a dog logo.  What can I say, memecoins seem to go up by a lot more than the rest of the market.

Be mindful of market cap.  The lower, the better.  If a coin's market cap is 100m, 1000x would be 100b.  Lol.  It would take a lot of money to pump it that high.  But if the market cap is just 1 million, 1000x would be 1 billion.  It's much more possible it could happen imho.

That's it for now.

Edit:  Great criteria here...




I would like to add that it needs to be new token/coin that people haven't yet tweeted about, at least not too much. Preferably with no advertising bounties. Old projects under 10M marketcap have either died or something bad has happened behind the scene. Something that no one is interested in them, so unless you know some inside news about those, you are betting on a dead horse.

Also no price talk on the channel gives a professional touch that makes me think it's already more mature and professional then 90% projects out there.

I hope this is a joke.  Meme coins were a fad and there are zillions of them now.  All exactly the same just clone coins that serve zero purpose.  If you missed the meme craze then it's gone that's it.  No one knows the next fad otherwise everyone would pile in.  Your best bet is just to steer clear altogether and not lose all of your money which will most likely happen to most people chasing profits.

Read what I posted again.  I said it's for the lulz, so it's kind of a joke but not really.  You know why?  It's because there's some truth to 'the criteria'..  Call memecoins a fad, a trend, or whatever but you know what?  It's a fad that keeps coming back again and again after each market cycle.  And in case none of you have noticed, crypto markets are kind of a joke.  Don't believe me?  Then why is DOGE and SHIB up by a lot in market cap compared to some of the most serious of projects out there?

So yeah, this thread is for fun and I bought around 200 bucks worth of a coin that meets 'the criteria'.  I just want to see where it goes.  1000x of 200 is 200k USD, 500x is 100k USD, 100x is 20k USD.  That's not bad imho.

And this isn't even all of them, just the ones that I've found in 5 minutes of googling.
I haven't tried all of them, but these sites all have decent reviews and should offer good and safe experience.

Just noticed your post.  And seeing all those poker sites you googled, I gotta ask, how's the traffic and the game selection in each and one of them?  Does it have at least 10 full 6 max tables running in the microstakes and midstakes?  That's pretty bad traffic imho but that's the minimum a poker site should be running.

If it were up to me, go to Poker Scout.  Check the sites with most traffic and check which whens accept crypto as a deposit and withdrawal option.

https://www.pokerscout.com/

Most sites not included in the top 20 prolly isn't worth the look.  Could be wrong.  Maybe in the micros it's worth it, but as you climb up in stakes, traffic becomes thin.

Good news...  Stake has a betting market for all 5 match ups in the Bellator vs Rizin cross over event.

https://stake.com/sports/mma/bellator/bellator-mma-vs-rizin

At first glance I got all the Bellator fighters winning except one, Kyoji Horiguchi.  Dunno..  Just a hunch.  I saw him fight against Patchy Mix and lost in the bantam weight grand prix in one of the Bellator events.  It was prolly because of the size difference but still, Patchy Mix isn't really that good and it's a match up that Horiguchi should be winning.  He could be in a slightly early decline at 32.

Anyway yeah, excited to to do a little tape study now and make a parlay out of these 5 matches.

Anyway, I feel like a couple of underdogs could snatch some wins on Boxing Day.  What do you guys think of Brentford draw no bet at 2.80 and Aston Villa draw no bet at 3.10?

Almost time for the new season Cheesy

Hah yeah!  By the time it's January with all the schedules for testing and the unveiling come out, it will def feel like the new season has come again.  So good for us and let's hope it's not going to be a boring season.  Rooting for Toto Wolff to make it more challenging for Red Bull.  Grin

Anyway, just went to browse a bit for some F1 news and it seems like the trust issues between Verstappen and Perez won't go away.  I couldn't blame Verstappen after what Perez did to him at Monaco.  And if this keeps going on next season, I think we might see our favorite Aussie get the second seat come 2024..?  I wouldn't mind VER - RIC tbh.

^  Hard to know of a poker site's trustworthiness, esp in an environment like crypto.  We all know how this place could be the spawning pool of scams it can be.

I'm not saying SWC will scam their players, I'm talking more about if we can trust the poker sites' capability to secure us from player collusion.  Look it up, even the largest and the best poker sites have fell victim to player collusion and botting.  Most of them coming from Asia, specifically China, and Eastern Europe.  And like I mentioned, this is crypto.  Be careful out there guys.

I would love to see Leclerc at Mercedes.I don't like him personally as a driver but this year he showed great skill and performance in those races where Ferrari had the upper edge.Beautiful battle in Silverstone between three drivers and one of them was Leclerc,he won in Austria with the gas pedal not working at all and a few more good deeds by him.

At Mercedes I doubt they have first and second driver but they choose one based on the results of the start of the season,they can't have first driver Russell if for example Hamilton wins the first three races.
Yup, I wouldn't mind seeing it happen too.  He's a good driver that hasn't reached his full potential yet because Ferrari has been sucking in strategy and execution as of late.  Vettel has a high opinion of him as a driver, even wrote him a note saying so when Vettel left Ferrari.  I don't get why everybody hated Vettel when he was winning with Red Bull and saying he's not a fast driver.  If that was true then why couldn't Webber beat him during quali or the race?  People seem to forget there are two driver, not one.  Lol.

And Merc would prolly have no defined first or second driver if it was Leclerc - Russell.  Other than that, it's Russell as first driver...  Blimey.
George Russel is the biggest reason why they couldn't possibly get Charles as their second driver after Hamilton retires, first of all I am guessing that there is as long as 3 to 5 seasons Hamilton could still race, and that means it is not going to be easy to replace him, the racer that could replace him may not be even in f2 right now let alone in f1 because by the time Hamilton retires, George would be winning races for them, and Charles would be settled in nicely with Ferrari.

I am guessing that Charles-George duo would cause them as much headache as Nico vs Hamilton year, and that is why I doubt that they would repeat that mistake ever again and instead get a clear second driver for Russell.

Just three years tops after his current contract imho.  There have been talks swirling around of his retirement that goes on and off every year.  I think the next one is gonna be the real one after 2023 and his next contract will be his last.  As a driver gets older, his reflexes start getting slower.  Teams don't want this in F1 as the driver will be prone to accidents.  We were starting to see it with Raikonnen.  He wasn't getting into a lot of accidents but there were times in the onboard cams, they showed how late his reaction times were.

Anyway, I guess hext season we'll be having Red Bull - Mercedes - Ferrari?  I can't imagine Ferrari fighting for podiums consistently under their new principal and technical team...
