I see why you wouldn't give Barcelona much of a chance to win La Liga this season. Even if Laporta and Xavi have faith in their team, anything may happen in the next games. With the transfer window rapidly approaching, Xavi must make sure the team maintains its professionalism and resolve to not get too carried away with its own ego.

My point is you can not believe in Barcelona at either beginning or early of this season but now the season has passed more than a half of it. More important, if Barcelona maintain their good performance and ranking as well as gap against Real Madrid in next 8 matches, it will be time to seriously change your mind. Because when a season comes to last weeks, believe it or not, they are doing good jobs and they have good gap against competitors. It is enough to consider them as a best candidate for La Liga crown.

Xavi has done a fantastic job thus far, and Barca has a shot at winning the league, but they shouldn't lose sight of the fact that there are still other clubs in the hunt. Barcelona shouldn't take anything for granted since Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, and Sevilla all have legitimate shot at winning the championship.

Life is not easy for Xavi as a few months ago, people tried to say Xavi has very poor stats compared with previous coaches. Now they have to keep silent and avoid to mention about their past remarks against Xavi.

Quote

Players (who you have mentioned) like Ferran Torres, Ansu Fati, and Rafinha have been rumored to be on the move, therefore the squad will likely be active in the transfer market as well. Success or failure depends heavily on Barcelona's personnel management in the forthcoming window.

Rafinha can move but Ansu Fati will surely stay in Nou Camp and perhaps Ferran Torres too. I believe that Ansu Fati will have a better career than Bojan Krkic in Barcelona but first he must improve his performance and avoid more injuries. To avoid injuries, he must watch videos and learn how Messi, Robben adjusted themselves to change from very sensitive players to rarely injured players in later of their careers.

As we all are aware that many big companies are accepting crypto payments. However, small online businesses do want to accept crypto payments but they are getting concerned over many things.

From what you knew, what are their concerns about it? Could you share it, please, then we can discuss more.

Quote

So what's your take on this guys? And if any merchant is here do share your thoughts.

I can not talk on behalf of small businesses but from my view, there are some concerns.

Volatility of cryptocurrency in general that can impact the value of their company income from initial income to the day they cash it out to fiat currency.
Trading volume of cryptocurrency especially altcoins. If they accept altcoins with too low trading volume, they will be impacted seriously with slippage, trading tax on DEX or price change on CEX.
Above are most common and biggest concerns but they are problems for altcoins, not for Bitcoin especially the second issue. Other reasons can be legal issues with local governments.

People above gave you some topics to learn and understand better about the forum. I only gave you some more.

[Guide] Searching effectively. Searching skill is always important for you on Internet exclusively this forum.
Bitcointalk posting etiquette. Having good writing skill will help you to express your opinion better. When others can understand your posts better, they can give you better advice or appreciate your help.

Lastly, forum has some hidden pages and features that you should know

Just to add more info: good alternatives to the likes of LastPass would be either Bitwarden or KeePass; with both being open-source and free.

Still, don't store your wallet's backups on such software unless you 100% know what you're doing; which like 95% of people don't.

I would like to store all backups offline that is better than online and on digital devices which can be hacked if they are connected to Internet or can be broken by technical issues.

[GUIDE] How to Create a Strong/Secure Password
Are your passwords in the green?. Read this educational article about password security and check your password later, then change it if it is weak in your opinion.

The easiest and fastest way to recover your account is reset password via email. To use this procedure, you must make sure your email won't be hacked by setting up

Strong password
Activate 2FA protection but avoid SMS code method because government can get access to your SMS code and hack your email.

Next method is recover it through your Bitcoin signed and staked messages but it will need manual recovery approval and need more time. Sign and stake your Bitcoin address and message are useful, not harmful and you should do it but I'd like to self-recovery my account password via email, not via the manual procedure.

I will more surprised if they will removed the wagering requirements that will get on all the tournaments because they don’t have this wagering requirements before and maintain running smooth for a long time. I believe removing it will encourage more users especially pleb players to play more in the casino since they can get instant reward per bet without any wager requirements.

Adding wagering requirement is good to eliminate cheaters who don't wan to lose fund by wagering just to meet the contest requirement but still are not eligible to be winners. Wagering is only one of selective criteria, not the only one.

Professional gamblers who join wagering contests have skills to avoid losing their funds by wagering but be able to meet requirements. They are winners by wagering most to take awards and don't let the process steals their initial fund.

Quote

I think the current reward on the tournament is pretty fair for players since it’s base on the percentage of wagering volume of players.

By eliminating cheaters, the casino make its fairer for participants and I am sure consequently winners will have fairer reward values than before.

Every thing are Controlled by Time, Even the Bitcoin Price .

The Bitcoin Time Machine will determine the price of Bitcoin in the future.

Satoshi Nakamoto set up excellent parameters for Bitcoin from total supply to block reward halvings but it is not enough if there are no other things happened after that from community globally.

The community is most important part of Bitcoin success by increasing its adoption with time.

Satoshi Nakamoto predicted it well with two possibilities for success and failure.

Quote from: satoshi on February 14, 2010, 03:52:23 PM

Right. Otherwise we couldn't have a finite limit of 21 million coins, because there would always need to be some minimum reward for generating. In a few decades when the reward gets too small, the transaction fee will become the main compensation for nodes. I'm sure that in 20 years there will either be very large transaction volume or no volume.

Regarding to Bitcoin controlled supply and time, you can read two following sources

Tottenham and AC Milan are both 5th in the standings in their respective leagues, and I think Tottenham is much better if you look at their last 5 matches.
however the Champions League is a very important competition and even though they are not doing well in their respective leagues there is a possibility in the UCL they will do very well because UCL is a very prestigious competition from other leagues. so of course all players and coaches will try their best to play very well in order to win the match, and it will be a very interesting match.

Tottehham have a good team and they have better form in this season but in Champions League, newbies can feel fearful and lose themselves. Tottenham are not newbies in Champions League but they can not compare with AC Milan about this.

The style of Serie A can control Premier League style very well and AC Milan have a chance to succeed but if someone believe more in recent form, Tottenham would be a winner. AC Milan only can be winner if they make big surprise for Conte and Tottenham.

Quote from: masulum on February 01, 2023, 11:32:40 AM

Yup, I'm not saying AC Milan will easily win this match. Because, so far AC Milan performance is not good. Tottenham will adopt playing fast, same as in the EPL, while AC Milan is playing with more slower. With a different tempo, a different physique, AC Milan will likely prioritize defensive play and counterattack. If they keep up with fast games like EPL teams, it seems Milan is still can't keep up with Tottenham. Milan must be take advantage as a host. If Milan can scored 2 goals and keep cleansheet, maybe Milan have a chance to going to the next round.

The tradition of Italy clubs is playing with slow intensity and prioritizes defense. Premier League and England have a different traditional style, with faster intensity but one point we should know. The coach of Tottenham Hotspurs is Conte who is an Italian coach. Since his coach career debut, he has never prioritized attacking so seriously. With importance of these matches, I think Tottenham will not play too aggressive attacking and we can have very boring matches between Tottenham and AC Milan.

Hence why people should stop calling either website the "official website" of anything. Though unlikely, ownership and control could be passed. A lot of people have been calling bitcoin.org the "official" website of Bitcoin for a while now that if ownership gets passed over to a malicious entity, a lot of damage would be made.

No official website because it is a community-led project after Satoshi Nakamoto abandoned it and left the community.

If not Bitcoincore.org, there will be another website but key is verify PGP keys of developers, don't trust. Bitcoincore.org has guides to verify wallets too.

Did I get it right? You woke up after three years of inactivity, but now cannot remember your password? How did you know it a few minutes ago? And, you cannot access your email account anymore?

Don't remember password
No access to email
No signed message and a stake it in the forum or at least did not have any address posted on the forum which the member can still access it and sign a message from it. However, to do it, that address must come from a non custodial wallet which allows to sign messages.

Combine them, it's impossible to recover the account.

Quote from: Bitcoin_Arena on January 31, 2023, 11:28:32 PM

You just woke up today according to seclog, how is it possible you forget the password in that short time even after logging into the account after a long time

I could be wrong about woke up.

About last active time, if you try to log in your account, even it is failed, you will have an active status at the point of time. I am not sure about woke up but maybe it is shown only a member successfully log in his account, not failed.

It shows up if a user has logged in with their last login time being at least 6 months ago.

Domain name update

Since April 2020, bitcoin.org is fully controlled by Cøbra and we don't know what will happen with either Cøbra and that site. Cøbra can sell it to someone else and what will happen if the buyer is Roger Ver or any Faketoshi?

They will use it to shill their Bitcoin Cash or Bitcoin SV or other Bitcoin forks.

So let's go to Bitcoincore.org and remember to verify what you download. At its download page, you see verification guide.

No, I do want to be the moderator, indeed. I acknowledge the responsibility, but as I said, I recognize myself as the most suited for that position.

Want or not and apply for that position or not, if theymos want to find a new moderator for that board, he will make a community vote and do his checking before you get his assignment. Maybe I could be wrong and missed moderator assignment cases in the past without community vote.

theymos is so careful with his decisions which are made after in-depth consideration and investigation.

Good luck with your application Cheesy

Funny thinking but it can be a bond between being a moderator and become a Chipmixer member OR being a Chipmixer member and become a moderator (maybe you will be a first case but well deserved I think).

Knowing how to import a wallet from seed or private key is important and so helpful if an initial wallet does not allow you to bump fee (Replace-by-Fee) or use Child-pay-for-Parents (CPFP)

[Guide] Use CPFP if your stucked transactions from blockchain.com wallet.

When your transaction is stucked by low transaction fee rate you use initially, you can import it to another wallet to bump the fee or to make a CPFP transaction. If you don't know how to do it, you only can wait for network to clear its mempool or wait for mempool to drop your transaction.

I think above members misunderstood BlackHatCoiner request. He requested a new moderator for his local board but did not say he applied for that position.

I know he is one of best candidates for that position but if anything happens to find a new moderator for that local board, theymos will create a community vote before a final decision is out.

It is a formal procedure afaik.

Report a lot of posts and be a very active member of the community and theymos may ask you eventually.

Quote from: theymos on December 19, 2019, 08:22:30 PM

There will only be one moderator.

Report history is the most important consideration for a moderator candidate. Over the forum's many years, relatively "newbie" members with good report histories have consistently done much better as mods than veteran, well-respected members with poor report histories. That said, not all reports are equal, so a simple report count doesn't tell the whole story. Also, in addition to report histories, it's necessary to consider factors such as the ability of the candidate to be neutral, their trustworthiness, etc. It's also nice to choose a moderator who people generally already trust/respect, but sometimes this is outweighed by other factors.

If a poll is created, I will not completely ignore the results, but I will also not use it as a primary influence. I'm more interested in arguments people have for or against certain candidates.

Here are the top non-bad report counts for the German sections over the last 6 months, along with the German boards which those reports covered (broader coverage being better).

Such great ideas can be implemented unofficially using either User-scripts or third party services

Partially you have it with small products from BlackHatCoiner, there

Disadvantage:

It shows the image with value of a bitcoin amount with current price, not with past price.
So if you need to have it for today price of 10,000 BTC to buy 2 Pizzas, it serves you well.
If you need something to show value of 10,000 BTC at the time of 2 pizzas deal, you will need something different, a modification of it maybe

Example for today value of 10000 BTC Cheesy

Quote from: Lucius on January 28, 2023, 11:45:49 AM

You are looking at this matter from a completely wrong perspective, because nobody got anything as a gift, not even those 1000 merits.

All members have to work and match with forum rules, rank requirements (which have been changed a few times in forum history) to achieve their ranks. It is just different to get it easy or difficult.

Quote

The new rank is not something that makes too much sense to me, but I think that if such an idea were to come true, it should be awarded to those who, for example, earned over 10 000 merits, because it is still an achievement that is worthy of some kind of award.

They're really deserved it and in my opinion, a highest rank (new one) should be applied for 10,000+ or 20,000+ merit. No more rank above it so its requirement should be really high.

Quote

What I would also suggest to make is some kind of difference between the Legendary rank that is achieved only with airdropped merits and the one that is achieved exclusively with earning merits.

For example :

Legendary (airdropped) remains the same as before.
Legendary achieved without airdropped merits (coin color change).
Legendary who earned over 1000 merits after airdropped merits - maybe call them Legendary Veteran.

It is too complicated and makes forum ranks, badges look more messy. I don't support it.

I visited some other forums as a guest and saw their ranks, badges are abundant, unnecessary colorful and messy so I don't think I need it in Bitcointalk.
