I think the safest cryptowallet are those offline wallets. You can have peace on it when you know that your funds are away from getting hack orbeing phished out because it is offline.

In online wallets I consider Myethereum wallet as good as well as metamask which another feature of myethereum wallet wherein it is secured. However, the best thing to do to secure wallet is to provide a two way factor in accessing wallets or funds. This is an added feature where one could manage to notify when someone had made an access to your wallet and wanted to transfer funds.

This  is where financial education comes in, some people think if they have a million Dollar they are set, but most people have millions of dollar and have lost all the money. The difference between a rich and a poor is what they both prioritize.

This is important part in anybody life how they use money and how do they even invest it. Also, at times luck does play a good role as well like you invest and it can boom, and you make money or other way around. But overall, we all should be able to make millions into billions and not vice versa which have seen people gone even bankrupt due to poor financial literacy.
financial literacy is very important. Most of the college graduate went actually looking for work and does not even trying to make money by doing a small business. It often lead to being always after a boss instead of being a boss itself. In doing business mostly other consider capital.because they wanted to earn big profits in an instant which is wrong.

Getting a job is good and one should know how to save and invest it in the future. The real quick formula to save is salary - savings = expenses. This is how I learn in financial literacy

Is it PUI or PUA (Public Unemployment Assistance)?

Processing requests takes longer these days maybe because of the limited manpower with thousands of applications. The fact that they keep telling you they will call back just means they haven't manually checked/processed your request yet. I didn't see any specific timeline for releasing payment from my search. I guess you just have to be patient.
Mostly this would happen since there are many unemployed now due to pandemic. Here in our place the request is being done manually and yes it takes more time than other country giving assistance. Or it could also be mean that it was being pocketed by the organization that process the assistance. This is the way we can clearly see now how huge corruption is in our country that they did not even scared getting a lawsuit. People have no resources to file a case against the organizer or it could be that they consider it a waste of time keeping on track with the process of giving and receiving financial assistance. They do not bother anymore to follow up of it because for them it is only a small amount. But, because there were too many asking for it then the organizer surely get a huge money for the corruption of financial assistance.

I have limited merits here and I am only giving merits to those users that who had not yet receive any merit but are doing well in the forum. Maybe an average users that are not also posting bounty reports. All I can do is to help those newbie that could have the potential to be good and instead of posting bounty reports they will going to post in regards to cryptocurrency to learn more about it and often visit this section to get more ideas about users sharing information related to scam or fraud and scam investment scheme and how possibly to avoid it.
725  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: August 12, 2020, 02:04:42 AM
Lovin to see the love of Abueva from different people, look like a lot of articles has already been published about the suspension of abueva that has gone too long, hope the PBA commissioner will listen and grant him to play again.
PBA is lacking star players which is the fundamentals of every games to gather a lot of audiences to watch their show. Now is the time for Abueva to get back in the game since it has been too long for his absence. I mean what is the PBA commissioner are thinking for not letting him play after all this time? they need to think in the positive sides on what this players can give if they let him play on the court again.
Audiences can be more when he will play because many missed him and his tenacity inside the court but his comeback will not effect that much in terms of audiences.
I would agree with what @goinmerry said that Ginebra is still #1 in terms of audiences that is why they are being called as "People's Champs" Cheesy.

Probably the suspension of Abueva took too long but for me I think that is enough already. Although many are complaining with the punishment, I'm expecting that in this coming season he will play again. If he will not play again this upcoming season then I think there is a problem here or maybe he will go to other countries to play. We've seen offers from different countries and he might accept these offers if he will not play this season.
Well PBA is still growing and we should not compare it with NBA that has so many star players or key players in a team. There are many promising players in the Philippines but it needs more resources for them to join a team. Other than that the PBA still dominated by big companies to which it will not get other teams the chance to grow and other organizers wanting to create a team. However, the PBA could still grow with those team that are dominating in the league. It is just a matter of time that PBA will be going to be huge one day.
726  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: August 12, 2020, 01:24:11 AM



Of course Atletico Madrid is much better in experience and quality than RB Leipzig. So I'm like most people will bet on Atletico's win.
Especially if you see Atletico Madrid's last 18 matches without defeat this makes me increasingly confident that Atletico will beat Leipzig
in the Champions League Quarter Finals.
So quarter final draws near and RB Leipzig Vs. Atletico Madrid. I am  not pretty sure who can win this match but I research on the following team and speculations from the experts regarding on their players and team play to which really go out and win in this match.

Quote
Gulasci - Klostermann, Upamecano, Halstenberg - Mukiele, Sabitzer (c), Kampl, Angelino - Olmo, Nkunku - Schick
Out: Henrichs (ineligible), Hwang (ineligible)
Doubtful: Konate (hip), Poulsen (ankle)
Coach: Julian Nagelsmann

Atletico: Oblak - Arias, Gimenez, Savic, Lodi - Llorente, Koke (c), Saul, Carrasco - Felix - Costa
Out: Correa (ill), Henrique (ineligible), Vrsaljko (knee)
Doubtful: Partey (thigh)
Coach: Diego Simeone

Probable Line up as per https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/rb-leipzig-atletico-madrid-champions-league-live-line-ups-stats-felix-upamecano-12374.
My bet or choice will go to the RB Leipzig due to impressive sweep of winnings on last season's runner up. Besides, the team players and the probable line up too are better in my opinion.

727  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: August 12, 2020, 01:08:27 AM
So.....

Spurs won
Suns won
Grizzlies lost

Blazers-Mavs match still ongoing and it's a close one.

Nobody's getting eliminated yet. The battle for 8th turned out to be more intense than what I was expecting  Grin
Blazers and spurs still fighting for the 8 place to get the into the play offs. Yes, it could be more interesting but when you will going to compare the players then pretty sure there could be some changes in the options. My bet to rank into 8th place between blazers, grizzlies, suns and spurs then pretty sure my chose will goes to blazers. I am a big fan of Carmelo Anthony with his talent and skills in playing basketball that he could carry the team. And there are other good players too in blazers too like Lillard and Brown.
728  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How long will existing encryption last? on: August 11, 2020, 12:15:06 PM
The Office of Advanced Research Projects of the U.S. Department of Defense (DARPA) has signed a contract with ColdQuanta to create a new quantum computer.
As we were informed, the construction of a quantum computer for 1000 cubic meters will be possible in the next 40 months.

According to Bo Ewald, CEO of ColdQuanta, within the next 40 months, under the terms of this contract, a machine will be created which will consist of 1000 (one thousand!!!!) cubic meters, and it will be able to make the necessary calculations ... to create the drugs and... (it's not interesting and probably not true that it will be used for this) - and to break the ciphers.

All this suggests that users of today's asymmetric key cryptography have less and less time left. I don't think 1000 kbit will be able to crack a key longer than 2000 bits, but I think 10,000 kbit will appear after a 1000 kbit quantum computer. That's the problem.
In 40 months, the era of quantum cryptography for a strong world and keyless encryption for ordinary people will begin.
If there is much talk about quantum cryptography, then keyless encryption methods are considered fiction and not worthy of public attention.


Is it really possible to have that kind of computers that could do so much cryptography? Really our world now are going through so much in computerization and it will be a matter of fact when all of the advance technology will become more advance. We had already seen heart transplant in medical and there is also a study about head transplant. I do not know if it was being successful but it is indeed true that a certain man who is sick and had having hard time on his condition made him decide to volunteer for the said experiment.

Computerization is really great and hoping that it will be apply to do things for comfort and not just creating it by the purpose of doing evil things.
729  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The BTC Times: A new Bitcoin News Site on: August 11, 2020, 12:06:03 PM
Thank you for sharing this website, @mk4
I usually use the cointelegraph in order to check all the crypto related news. But, the special thing about the website you introduced to us is the website only and specifically publishing bitcoin news not the crypto news. This will help us to easily follow the news about bitcoin and clear the shitcoin news. However, there are many other similar websites where you can follow these news.
Yeah really great news from it. Good things we have users here extending their part and helping us out to get more news about bitcoin. Aside from that the reply also from other users like this made it more wonderful to have another way to read news about bitcoin. However, I am a little bit worried if really all the news where there are fact or just a fake news. As we all know that fake news nowadays is also rampant and we could not believe it at first because we need to do another research to verify all things are correct and true.
730  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do we need bitcoin? on: August 11, 2020, 11:52:39 AM
Bitcoin is a store of value and the main indicator of the industry, we cant live without it

I don't get the idea that we cannot live without bitcoin. Will you die if there is no bitcoin?
Life does not depends on bitcoin bro.  Grin

dont take hin seriously , he is just joking .

Well, It doesn't seem to me that he is joking. You can tell by how he wrote his reply that he is serious. Grin
In fact I'm the one that is joking when I said about dying without bitcoin, but it makes sense. Tongue
LOL, yeah it makes sense when all money was invested to bitcoin pretty sure you cannot live without it because you will be needing it when you will be short in financial aspect. Many had told that bitcoin is not a basic need so we can really live without it but because of the love of this technology and the exaggeration of others stating about so now this is the product of it. Anyway, we should not let them also forget that because of the love of bitcoin truly we can say that the bitcoin system had gone so far now when it comes to technology development, adaptation and probable for community consumption in the future.
731  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hal Finney's role in early bitcoin development? on: August 11, 2020, 11:40:32 AM
Truly an amazing guy. Hal Finney was a developer and believe to be the first one bitcoin transaction from bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hal_Finney_(computer_scientist)). This guy has a lot of knowledge about satoshi nakamoto since he too was a computer scientist and believe in bitcoin as to be the solution of fiat currency problems or the too much of the centralization system. I could not say too much with this guy but he is part of the bitcoin history with Satoshi Nakamoto.
732  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Reminder: There Is No Such Thing As Easy Money on: August 11, 2020, 10:05:14 AM
You underestimate how many people use the internet. This may be old news for us, but a new user could easily see it as an opportunity. Look at it this way: I'm sure many, if not all of us, know a handful of people who believe everything on the internet is real -- these same people are the prime targets.
Yeah even kids now are online and do know how to use internet but getting scam? Lesser chances that kids will get scam because they are not interested in investment and earning for they are still dependent.

However there are lot of people getting scam. Clearly because of lack of education and desperate to earn fast and easy money. Others are also being persuade by their friends or family who had been joining a scam project in the likes of networking scam. Recently here in our place one of the networking scam.had been put to stop and all the investments coming from the people are lost.
733  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: My Ethereum transaction has been pending for over a month on: August 11, 2020, 09:31:41 AM
Try these steps:

Quote
Canceling a Transaction
Canceling means generating a 0 ETH transaction to your own address with the purpose of preventing a previous transaction from “going through” / “being mined” / “being included in the blockchain” / “being stuck”.

Step 1. Head to Etherscan.io or Ethplorer.io.

Step 2. Paste your transaction hash.

If it says pending, you can still try to cancel it.
If it says not found, click the button again, waiting a few minutes between each click. If that doesn’t work, it’s likely your transaction never went through.
If it says success, you cannot try to cancel it.
Step 3. If it says pending, access the wallet you used to send the original transaction on MEW.

Step 4. Send a transaction to yourself with a balance of 0 ETH.

Step 5. Click the ‘Send Transaction’ button.

Step 6. A dialog will appear. Click the “Yes, I’m Sure” button to send.

Step 7. A new transaction hash will appear. Click the link to view it and see if you were successful. If it doesn’t show up immediately, try refreshing in a few minutes.

more details here in this site about cancellation or replacement of pending transaction.

count me in, i am for 0.005 BTC, it would be good to at least match Sportsbet input of 0.15 BTC, with 30+ participants
0.005 btc is quite big enough already if converted to fiat currency here in our place. it could be worth a 3x a day meal, a prepaid load for 1 month and extra allowance to pay for a one night stand. LOL, anyway 0.15 BTC os quite good reward and of course this can.get high at the time when there will be many participants joining the bet. I still wondering if I too will join in this great opportunity to win that reward. Who knows that I could get lucky to it.
735  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: August 11, 2020, 07:55:59 AM
OKC doing everything to lose, haha.. Suns won by 20+ points. You have a point man but I think even without that friendship, their job is to win, but they lose in this game, which makes the race more interesting.
OKC was once a great team with KD, westbrook.and harden but they are persistent in getting titles that resulted to part ways and join other teams that has high potentials in getting championship titles. KD has already won championship but Harden and Westbrook still playing for it. If ever they get the chance to team up again in OKC high chances that they can win a championship game that if the three guys are in good shape.

Gambling games are not created to get losses for it is intended to gain as it was been designed. However, others are competing against the design and trying to outsmart it using strategic plays and equipment like this. I have observe in the replies of other players are stating that this calculator or tool could not really help. I want to try it though but it seems like others had already been sharing it here and I can say that I will undergo the same process. Anyway, just keep on sharing things like this for somehow it can be use as reference or resources for future studies.

Doing personal promotion by creating multiple/duplicate in various section is not appropiate/allowed. Only personal text and signature are allowed (but you're join in signature campaign now, so you can't)



Move to beginner & help, lock topic.
Well, I have move it already. It is not a promotion but rather just a thrwad for encouragement. It was a temporary post to get audience and will manually move it myself. I decided to archive this because I have still active.thread in beginners and help section. i do.not want flood that section with my post.
738  Other / Archival / Giving Merit to newbie with no merits. Requirement no bounty reports is a must! on: August 11, 2020, 04:10:05 AM
I made a topic in the beginners and help section on boosting morale for newbie. I know that this is not the
appropriate to discuss here but I am calling all the newbie with no merit to get the chance on getting the first merit.

The requirement is very simple I will not give merit to those newbie that are doing bounty campaign like posting reports in social media. English is the preferred language and not keen on looking for quality posters for average posts will do. Just always visit the beginners and help section so that you will be aware on information being shared in tha section from scam and fraud activities and how to avoid. Other topics related to cryptocurrency were being discussed there and one can freely ask questions.

Other high rank users are stating that they follow the thread and might also give newbie some merits. This is.your chance to get merits.

Educate yourself and get away from getting scam and from fraud users. I am excited to be the first user to give the first merit of your account.  Try to visit the thread here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5267574.msg54961273#msg54961273

Edit: I know that this is inapropriate to post it here. Well move it manually once it get few views.
739  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Attention for bounty work on: August 10, 2020, 10:21:30 AM
Yeah I think it is better to delete your post regarding on bounty and then visit often the begginers and help section for you to get acknowledge and then possobly get merits. There are threads there started for all the newbie the chance to earn merits. High rank users there are to support the newbie and boost the morale. Again delete first all post related to bounty and then get the chance to earn your first merit there.

I am also started a thread there to boost the morale.of the newbie and I am giving few merits there.
740  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Never give up on: August 10, 2020, 10:12:14 AM
Being positive in cryptocurrency is a good attitude to keep up with the risk in investing to it due to its market value volatility. This can help a lot not get nervous in holding especially if investment gets into trouble like being caught in the halving process. It happen already in 2018 and I thought that it could be the end of cryptocurrency but it did not. Instead just a year pass and now bitcoin pass again 10k usd. So, high chances that halving will.not.going to.happen instead another ATH maybe??
