A lot of pundits and stats that I read seem to suggest that Rodri is the key for Man City's defense, while de Bruyne is for creativity. I believe their weakness this season is not scoring goals, but protecting their leads[1]. I do agree that with De Bruyne in the team, they should be able to score more goals, but judging from their competitors I'd say their attack is quite OK for now. some might even argue that based on their stats alone, their defense is also not that terrible, considering that their expected goals are quite low and probably within the best 5 in the league as of now[2]. Obviously, stats don't tell everything. Let's see how they play if all of their key players are back.

I've read news about how traditional stores or big shopping center, in general, is losing money due to e-commerce apps in my country. So yeah, some of them definitely hurt. On the other hand, nothing is stopping these sellers from opening their own store on the app too. The beginning is probably difficult since they need to compete with tons of other stores, but it is not like they won't find customers as long as their price is competitive. Most of the time, distance and shopping fee is the biggest factor why people choose one store over the other.

Personally, though, I never use Alibaba for fashion, etc since most of them require overseas shipping. I can easily find most of the stuff you tell me in my city, which is just a 30-minute trip at most. Not a bad trade for me, and even if I need to buy new shirts, I'd rather use other apps. What I tend to use them for is for electricity, like batteries and stuff like that. There is no option if nobody can provide me with the product that I need. It is always a gamble though, since what I bought might be a dead product on arrival too.

Hi, do you have any plans on adding more options to your virtual phone numbers? I've been looking for a Chinese number for months already, but it seems nobody can provide that. Those who claim can provide it, request a very expensive fee. Other services request my private information and I doubt its legitimacy in the end. I can understand the difficulties since every number must be registered with a Chinese ID, but what about countries like India or other countries in general? 

So you're saying that their 7-day withdrawal policy already existed before, and you continue using their service, or has it changed just recently? Why would you continue to use them if the former is true though? Do they give you tons of tournaments that outweigh the obvious cons? Most casinos that I've heard on this forum never had something like that before (7 days for approval, and then another 7 days after that). At most, it is just 24 24-hour withdrawal period, in which most of them process the withdrawal within hours or so. CMIIW.

From the way they responded to you, something bad is probably happening behind the scenes. Even if it is not, saying the manager is not available due to a meeting when urgent customer service is needed is just unprofessional.

Is it really as simple as that though? What about taxes? Can you report all of them easily? What about the inflation/deflation rate? While it is unlikely, the risk that the USD someday go bust is still there, isn't it? How would you protect your wealth then if all of them are just fiat, that has no underlying value at all? Might as well buy gold & Bitcoin imo. At the end of the day, risk management is your answer. Diversify your assets carefully. It sure sounds good when you can just live your life from bank interest, but you can also lose all of your wealth easily if you trust them (there are many examples related to how people get screwed up because they trust them too much).

Bitcoin price is not the biggest factor for transaction fees IIRC. I remember paying the same fee when we were at the peak of the '17 (or '21?) bullrun when BTC did not even touch $25k yet. Basically, iff the network is busy then you'll likely need to pay more. You're right that people who pay $300 for some services probably do not need decentralization, but at the same time, they don't have to use Bitcoin for that either. Choosing Bitcoin means you care about security and want to use something in which its supply is not controlled by a group of people, but can be verified and relatively fast at the same time. CMIIW.

I second the suggestion to contact them and try to clarify, or at least suggest they research further. But there is no guarantee that their beliefs will change if they already have a fixed assumption and just try to find supporting articles for their beliefs. If that were the case, I'd stop my donation and just read other topics as usual, albeit with an awareness that their opinion might also try to steer me in one way or another. Who knows, maybe they are anti-keto diet without you noticing anything and then suggest a sugar-heavy diet that is dangerous for your well-being in the end. Remember that it is easy to change the narrative in the media as long as somebody has enough money.

On the other hand, YouTube and similar platforms are popular nowadays. You can easily consume tons of opinions for free now. No need to force yourself to keep reading one source that doesn't respect your effort to clarify some of their bias.

How can a company/business/social project do that if the ban is still effective? Is he saying that people are doing it illegally, or does the law never affect them, to begin with? I do know that underground mining is still going strong over there, based on some news that I read. I'm not sure what residential and office projects mean here, but it is hard to imagine that the government does not even bother to check their daily activities at all. It sounds cool if they found a way to mask the mining process with something else though.

Are you assuming that everyone is buying at the ATH then? Because if that's the case, then the tool will be very limited. Besides, tools like portfolio monitoring are readily available if that's what they need. I'm pretty sure everyone is okay with inputting their wallet address, or if that's not fine for them they can manually add each token/coin easily.

I've given my suggestion above, and others also did it. However, It is kinda hard to suggest more features if OP doesn't even respond to suggestions. On the other hand, he probably just does this as a hobby and doesn't want to monetize it, in which case he can do whatever he wants to.

Setelah mendiamkan Nano S ane selama beberapa bulan (mungkin tahunan), ane kena juga masalah layarnya yang sangat redup sampai susah buat dilihat. Untungnya udah ada backup jadi bisa kapan aja backup ke wallet lain, tapi ane penasaran apa ada user di sini yang mengalami hal yang sama dan mengakalinya tanpa mengganti layarnya? Ane pernah baca thread tentang mengganti layar Nano S ini sih, cuma kayaknya ga worth it juga mengingat reputasi Ledger dan keputusan mereka yang cenderung ga ramah privasi/keamanan.

Agan bisa cek di docs mereka, ada beberapa link komunitas yang dicantumin di sana[1]. Kalau ga bisa menghubungi juga bisa langsung kirim pesan ke support aja, siapa tahu bisa dibantu langsung nantinya. Walau kayaknya yang mengelola support itu bot sih, bukan CS (kecuali agan mau nunggu).

Kalau tujuannya promosi, ane rasa signature dan avatar adalah tempat yang lebih pas gan. Kalau mau maksain bisa pake profile text. Orang jarang banget ngeklik profil seseorang untuk lihat detail info pribadi yang dishare, meskipun mereka itu mod atau staff sekalipun. Dulu ane pernah deal beberapa proyek yang mau promosi di forum pake shortlink di bio, tapi ga pernah bertahan lama karena dianggap exposurenya rendah.

Ane rasa upgrade yang bisa diterapkan adalah membuat profile text bisa diklik kalau yang dicantumin adalah sebuah link. Kalau ada risiko spam bisa aja dibuat yang bisa mengaktifkan fitur tersebut punya rank Jr member ke atas atau copper member. Cuma ane rasa ga bakal ada upgrade semacam ini. Tinggal nunggu saja apakah software forum baru yang lagi dibuat dan entah kapan selesai itu bakal ada fitur serupa atau tidak.

Sekedar tambahan info, vulnerarbility di atas ditemukan di connectkit versi 1.1.7 ke bawah. Kalau agan sering konek dengan berbagai dapps (terlepas wallet yang agan pakai), ada kemungkinan browser agan meng-cache versi tersebut. Sebelum berinteraksi dengan dapps agan harus clear cache lebih dulu supaya connectkit yang dipakai adalah versi yang paling baru. Udah ada beberapa korban yang menggunakan berbagai jenis wallet yang kena serangan tersebut karena lupa menghapus cache beberapa hari yang lalu. Be safe people.

Gampangnya agan anggap saja folder-folder atau file yang ada adalah source code sebuah program gan. Jadi kalau agan mau build program, biasanya perlu meng-clone folder-folder tersebut lalu menjalankan script yang sudah disediakan oleh maintainernya (rata-rata sih begini). Hampir semua repository biasanya ada bagian release atau kalau ga file readme kok, jadi tidak perlu susah kalau mau tahu gimana cara menggunakan software atau file yang ada.

Kalau keperluan agan adalah untuk bisa menggunakan wallet Bitcoin, kirim/melakukan RBF/CPFP dan sejenisnya mungkin ga terlalu butuh. Paling agan hanya perlu belajar build sendiri kalau agan ga pengen download Electrum yang sudah jadi (atau software terkait lainnya). Itupun biasanya udah ada guidenya juga. CMIIW.

The issue is related to their dapps software, not the HW itself as far as I understand it. Basically a lot of dapps use their connectkit to interact with web3 wallet and somebody managed to publish a fake version of it. While they've published the right version, people should at least their browser cache to ensure they don't cache the fake version. It doesn't matter whether you use Ledger HW or not, as long as your favorite dapps use Ledger's connectkit, you're at risk if you don't do that.

Ledger should improve how they educate their employees since all of this happens because of a phishing attack, which in theory should not be unfamiliar for people who work at a crypto company.

I think his point is that you should show us your portfolio. I don't think it is a problem if you list which companies you work for, what business you did in the past, and so on. Simply saying you have 10 years of experience tells nothing. In fact, scammers use that quite often to trick users. If you're serious about it, maybe you can be a little bit more open about your work history.

At first, I thought this only affected the Ledger wallet. However, reports suggest that the compromised library is basically an open-source software that is used by tons of dapps[1]. It is wild how the attacker managed to steal one of Ledger's npm accounts by doing a phishing attack. I'd expect all Ledger companies to be familiar with it. On the other hand, maybe relying on one software is not really a good idea for developers since they can be blamed for stuff that is likely outside of their control.

What exactly is your definition of mass adoption? People using crypto to buy stuff, or more users doing trades on the crypto market? If it is the latter, I second the opinion that they always do that regardless of the market condition. Even Binance is doing that with different programs such as their latest raffle airdrop. My local exchanges also regularly do promotions even though the benefit for new users is probably not that great in the long term.

If it is about more users using crypto, I honestly doubt they care about it that much. This does not mean they won't advertise to the public, but it won't be their priority at all. Especially if the number of regular visits or registered users on their platform is still as high as ever. CMIIW.

What do you mean by server? Are you suggesting to run bots on a VPS or something similar? As far as I can tell, most VPS have a good connection unless you choose the cheapest one with limited bandwidth/ping. Maybe you can fix that with a fast internet connection and a mini PC if latency is an issue, or if your exchange blocks VPS to access their API (unlikely).

What kind of development are you referring to? How would it impact crypto users who make a ton of money from trading etc? Is tax not a problem at all? I never cashed out that much money, but I'd argue that cashing out regularly for a small amount is probably better regardless of where you are, unless you are obligated to pay tax for how much crypto you own. In my country, for example, my crypto is taxed after I make trades or liquidate it to fiat, so cashing a million dollars in one go is going to be a headache. CMIIW.
