I answered all the questions and I'm glad that I am on a safe zone, people who are additive to gambling or those who frequent the gambling after work to relax and unwind will find the quarantine unbearable, it's like they are denied of something that they enjoyed doing for a long time and this will cause them anxiety and depression, and they think the only way to release the anxiety is for them to go back playing, for them it's like a withdrawal symptoms and it's unbearable to them.
However this kind of syndrom/sickness/addiction could be threat at home. There are many ways to change gambling addiction and that is to let him occupied even at home so that one can avoid remembering in gambling. In my case as I have a friend who has been in addiction to drugs were now slowly recovered after some advises I had made. I let her wife brought a pet(dog), He was surprised as he also wanted to get the dog her wife brought which is a pitbull. Now, I am able to see him with his dog always being friendly to that dog. I was happy that he was able to change somehow.

It will be good if the game will be played on Metro Manila since the crowd is there and for that they might still get a good revenue for some local advertisement or others compare if it will happen on provinces, but situation is different and I think its better to decide on which is best since Metro Manila status still questionable and there's always a threat that it will be back on MECQ if the numbers of infected will raise again.
I do not really think that the PBA will going to open their games with the crowd. Social distancing is still a mandate and no social gathering should be allowed. If they follow the NBA then crowd are only using digital to which in the venue has no actual fans but only the digital image of them watching the NBA game. I hope so that thes organizers will not allow crowd in the arena to avoid the fast transmission of COVID 19. Let us wait first the cure to this virus before opening any social gathering events.

Hands Down for now, LoL. but it's quite close I think.
Just a little more for Bucks, that's really for sure.
What happen to buck and Giannis? They were already outscore with the MIA 3-0 in favor of MIA in the series. This team was literally good after making it in the last playoff to which the team had almost make it to the finals. Bucks probably needed more shooters outside to help Giannis in scoring. They are having hard time to score especially outside the perimeter. Anyway, this season I think is in favor to lakers. Lakers has the highest chance to play in finals and become the champ with lebron. Lakers too had good players and this team is solid.
764  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Satoshi Nakamoto is alive? Today he posted on p2p foundation. Your opinion? on: September 04, 2020, 11:57:35 PM
I doubt he is the original Satoshi, the best to do is to sign a private message using th private key of the address holding the genesis coins or btter still just move coins. His come back would really bring some good momentum in th entire crypto maket. Hopefully we touch nw all time highs of bitcoin with such a news.
In my own opinion if I were satoshi then I will continue to be silent and will only watch bitcoin development as it grows more as time passes. It should be also good to help in silent way for the development of the bitcoin.

In this way the safety of satoshi will be able to maintain pretty sure that he owns the possible highest number of bitcoins and could be record as one of the richest man on earth if he will going to expose himself lettinh him vulnerable to the bad people around wanting to earn fast and easy money.
765  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Supreme leader's twitter account hacked - but that's not the main issue! on: September 04, 2020, 11:50:53 PM
The only way we can do about this issue is to clear the doubt of many people who don't have enough knowledge in bitcoin. We can't blame others too because it's part of the system of bitcoin. Of course, someone would take advantage of its feature of being a decentralized digital currency.
We should not get too hesistant to tell everybody that bitcoin is not a scam or it function because efforts might be put to waste if were going to act like this. The best thing we should do is to keep always an update with bitcoin. Let establishment work for the slow adapatation of cryptocurrency for some of the establishment are already integrating bitcoin as an option for payments. Slowly in phase or manner of adaption but for me it is very effective or efficient. I hope that other company will do as well to chose bitcoin as an option for payment.
766  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: imported public key bitcoin wallet with private key! on: September 04, 2020, 11:43:07 PM
If you import the private keys from one wallet to another, then the wallets will effectively be "clones"... they'll see exactly the same transaction history/balance... and either wallet will be able to spend any coins controlled by those private keys.
Ok so one can still spend the bitcoin even if it is imported to other wallet as long as it has the private keys but if private keys was not imported then it will be a non-spendable or watch out wallet only.
You need the xpriv to generate the individual keys to spend the coins. That brings the issue of having having the compatible derivation path by importing it in a compatible wallet. If you don't use a wallet with the same derivation path, you won't be able to see some/all of your addresses.
Oh, so wallet to wallet importing should have compatible so that one can see all the addresses being imported.

Thanks for this info, I might try it probably when I can download mobile bitcoin wallet. However, I am afraid that there are many phishing apps now, fake bitcoin wallets and the likes which gave me the reason to doubt when downloading it. Is there a list of trusted mobile bitcoin wallets? I think I need to do a quick search but I think I need to verify it here to see if I am in the right mobile bitcoin wallet.

I want to transfer my bitcoin that for now is in the exchange. I do not think I should trust the exchange wallet for bitcoin in the long term.


767  Economy / Economics / Re: Lithuania President gifted crypto to Estonian President. on: September 04, 2020, 03:02:26 PM
LOL, these president surely a follower of cryptocurrency and might a whale too that invested on it. As we all know that a government official has lots of excess money to which they could not declare it as of the moment to avoid any suspiscion on their side having the money. Then high chances that it could be invested in cryptocurrency to which for now I think it could not be traced for we know that crypto characteristics is a non custodial. No one owns crypto except the one who holds the private keys.
768  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / imported public key bitcoin wallet with private key! on: September 04, 2020, 02:39:20 PM
I am looking information regarding bitcoin wallet. Ever sine I join this forum I only learn about altcoins and their wallets which are usually online wallets or some known platform for altcoin wallets.

Based on the information I have read in the forum that blockchain wallet is a non-custodial, the who owns the private key owns the blockchain wallet and no one had access on it except the owner of the private keys or the seed phrase of the wallet. Bitcoin wallet can generate public keys from xpub which should not be disclose to anyone. The generated public keys had also corresponding private key (xpriv) and this could be use when one like to import bitcoin public key to other platform or bitcoin wallet.

Now, what will happen to the imported bitcoin public address with its corresponding private key to other bitcoin wallet if the imported public wallet has a balance? Could I spend the balance when it was only being imported to the new bitcoin wallet?
769  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: September 04, 2020, 12:01:19 PM
I think the real topic now is OG Anunoby, that last show was amazing, 99% the Raptors would lose but they prove us wrong. With 0.5 seconds only, OG Anunoby made a cod blooded 3 and that changes how this series looks like, it could have been a 3-0 as Walker made an impressive assist.
well new guy will going to lead if other star player having hard time in the plays. For now, there too many player that are new and reay good in playing basketball. However, it is still unfortunate for them for now having strong teams like the celtics that had also shows a good play last season's play off. Raptors without Kawhi is seem not really in good shape as a team.

There are really good plays that could happen in NBA like magic, for instance this last 0.5 seconds made by OG Anuby to which made their team win this time. Great play!

In that case the player  need to fix his schedule or pass that tournament to others since its not possible to play it at the same time with two different website tournament.
Proxy will do in this matter. Pretty sure that if you are a poker player you know some players that are lucky too when playing poker you can ask them to proxy for any schedules that you will not be able to meet. In this case who might knows that your proxy might be better or luckier than you.

Online gambling now is a trend so I guess that doing proxy would be fine as long there is a resources available at hand. Higher chance that the player could be denied playing as proxy.

Sure this guy has lot of money. I do not know why he still want more when there is enough already to live even the next, next generations of his family. He is sccessful enough and prove already that he is good at investment. However, I thought of this guy do not know how to give. As I do a quick search, he actually donated his billions of $.  You can see in this link below, https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/08/business/dealbook/warren-buffett-donations.html
Anyway, hope to see him more reaching out the poorest among the poorest of people in this world to start a living like creating livelihood for them.
772  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Even Google engineers are not in sync with regards to its privacy control on: September 04, 2020, 10:06:28 AM
I think most of us has been using google products from our smartphones(devices) to software and application. Google had this all for its consumers and I think privacy avoiding concerns would be difficult because of these things around unless you live in the mountains and does simple living with no gadgets and internet.

In my case, I am not actually scared of these privacy issues unless it affects my daily living like being dependent on it that much. I think privacy concerns should not be worried to  its users. Being cautious still must be observe to avoid hacking/phishing applications or malware.
773  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: BTC Wallet Tracing on: September 04, 2020, 12:05:33 AM
I just thought of the old wallet like the wallet.dat file use to store bitcoin private key and the other details that a wallet has. Because bitcoin could be easily acquired before through mining or even faucet others had not thought just leaving the wallet with bitcoins they store with it. As time pass by, rhe owner of the wallet usually forgot the password and must thinking on how to take the bitcoins or sell it. It will be so hard to access fund without the wallet password. So, it is like that you own the private key, you own the public key address but you do not own the bitcoin unless you remember the password of the wallet.
Your key's your coins, not your key's not your coins.

This phrase may not going to apply I think because you have the private and public key but you can't take bitcoin or like bitcoin does not being own.

Anyway, I was just trying to participate in the discussion and learn from it. I can learn a lot from here in this section.
774  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How long does it need to confirm a transaction on: September 03, 2020, 11:43:19 PM
I recommend you OP to check this thread for reference the next time you want to make a low fees with fast transaction. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5250569.0
The network is usually congested due to the fact that there are many bitcoin users from around the world. If you wish to make a low fee and fast transaction then you should consider the time and day to do the transaction. In my opinion the best time to make a transaction is sunday dawn. Usually the network is not congested in that day and time however it will still depend on the crypto market. You can try to do it next time for you to see.
775  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum wallet was hacked! on: September 03, 2020, 04:04:35 PM
Electrum was vulnerable for arbitrary messages from the attacker to phished out the wallet.

The attacker uses the fake site to mislead the victim to a phishing software that probably was installed.

The real links are:
https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum (the github repository hosting the code)
https://electrum.org/ (website of the project)
6694D8DE7BE8EE5631BED9502BD5824B7F9470E6 (the real PGP public key of the developer)
Try to distinguish the real links for electrum wallet and their project site here.

My Electrum wallet has been hacked and all my bitcoins have been stolen. Is there anyway to find where the money has sent to?
Sad to say no way a hacker to expose himself from the victim of their phishing activities. However, you can follow the transaction from the stated list mention above of bitcoin block explorers.
776  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2019-2020 betting on: September 03, 2020, 05:03:59 AM
Damn! That was another intense game.

Well, congratulations to the Houston Rockets.
OKC did a hell of a game. Polish that chemistry and they will be stronger next year.
I was not able to watch the game but OKC the news today that OKC lost the series vs. Houston. CP3 should regret now leaving the houston rockets and play in the OKC. The houston team with is a good team that has high chance can win a championship game. If not only the golden state beat them during the conference finals then pretty sure against toronto raptors that time could have a high chance in winning the championship.

Anyway, What could happen next to the OKC, are they willing to trade and accept strong players like they did to CP3?
777  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is it alright to invest with bitcoin at the current market price? on: September 03, 2020, 04:24:31 AM
The dips are always the right time and now it is.
Buying bitcoin at dips at any price benefits me big, I don't really recommend this but if you are willing to take the risk of buying at dips even if the price is high you can profit from it fast.
Knowing when to enter and how much you risk you wanna take, anytime is the right time to buy.
It might be but I will not trade because trading is too risky and I am not in good market price prediction. As we all know that bitcoin market is volatile and it is unpredictable. I might consider buying parts of bitcoin now but probably I can make a target if it will reach to that point then I can sell right away. Still, I am hesitant to do it and might be  able to just wait for the next bitcoin market crash if it will going to happen.

For now waiting I guess is the best thing to do investment. Still, I am not closing too to invest when I think it I wanted to.
778  Other / Meta / Re: Bitcointalk posting etiquette on: September 03, 2020, 04:11:07 AM
I think this is the only guide in this forum about posting etiquette being made and it is wonderful to see how much a user could get from the great ideas being shared here in the forum. I could only say that this post is really helpful to promote quality posting here in the forum.  
Yes, this is good and useful base on experience after making a quick search in the forum for a certain topics and shows a single thread that could answer my question.

However, starting a thread that has probably already taken or created from other users should be alright in my point of view. This will be another way of getting second opinion from other user seeing another posts that has been discussed already by the other user. This is one way of gathering and confirming information on the topic being search.
779  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is it alright to invest with bitcoin at the current market price? on: September 02, 2020, 04:42:54 PM
I think if you are a big investor you can invest here anytime.
No, I am not but wanted to invest in bitcoin as this is the new trend of investment scheme. It is somehow like having an income if being lucky with lesser effort to make. Anyway, I am not trying to be lazy here in fact even in the pandemic I am doing sidelines that could earn extra income that even includes bounty hunting.

Investment in bitcoin is the best investment among other forms of investment I like and wanted to get involve. This is why I am itching to invest in bitcoin but still get confused. I have read some replies and it all talk the same answers which really depend on the one who invested. But I have time constraint in this investment and it is not that long to hold like 2-5 years. Probably I can go for a year and after that I will going to proceed with my next project and this will be a way to support it.

Anyway, I am still interested to know from other users on this thought that I might be able to get an Idea from this.
780  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Investment plan on: September 02, 2020, 08:31:05 AM

Do not limit your token on base top 5.. If im i will look at top 100 cause there was still a lot of undervalued tokens out there that might be pump way more high then the top 5 are. Spread your research more widely you might come one to three projects that might be way more interesting then the top 5.
Not to agree with this because undervalued coin have low chances that it will going to bounce back because the usual is that most of these coins have dead project.

I think I will only settle for establish coins or just with bitcoin. This is enough already to make a good profit but it will also depend on how do the investment and the volatility of the cryptocurrency market. If the trend goes up like having bull run pretty sure most of bitcoin holders will earn.
