He also cannot retire. He has to make $650 million he lost in Sam Bankrupt-Fried's blackhole hehehe.
Damn was it really that much??
Yes.

Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen put their $650 million fortune into maximizing their stake in FTX cryptocurrency

Brady has a net worth of $250 million net worth.

Gisele Bündchen’s net worth is $400 million. Together, Brady and Gisele have a massive net worth of $650 million.


Source https://thesportsrush.com/nfl-news-tom-brady-and-gisele-bundchen-put-thier-650-million-fortune-into-maximizing-their-stake-in-ftx-cryptocurrency/

After the divorce, Gisele immediately went to find work and posed topless.

I'm sorry, but I'm not buying it.  That sounds like a salacious rumor, not a news story.  There are multiple reports that Brady owned 1.1 million shares, estimated to be worth $45M in July 2022, while Gisele owned 680,000 shares which were estimated to be worth about $25M.  I was able to find other stories that claim he and Gisele lost $650M but all those stories sound like bullshit to me.

Brady, formerly a prominent FTX booster, owns more than 1.1 million common shares of FTX Trading, bankruptcy court documents show. His ex-wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen, has more than 680,000 shares in the same entity.

Here's a story from CoinDesk published in November that claims FTX was trading around $4.50, which makes mathematical sense:

Disapponting but not very shocking. Tom Brady has not been playing very well since the regular season. It might be because of the divorce which might also be caused by the bad investment he and his wife made in FTX. He also cannot retire. He has to make $650 million he lost in Sam Bankrupt-Fried's blackhole hehehe.

I seriously doubt that he would have that much invested in one company, he doesn't strike me as that kind of a risk-taker.  I can see the scammers making the claim that his share was worth that much.

In any case, this Cowboys' kicker might be in a mafia list of paid players somewhere. Missed 3 extra point field goals? This is very head shaking.

Actually it was a streak of 5 consecutive missed points after.  Four in last night's game, and one in the last regular season game against the Commies.  Mafia connections are not out of the realm of possibilities.


San Fran.

Ouch, my bleeding eyes!  Tongue

The Dolphins are also highly unlikely to be a moving spot with Tua showing well for the most part, outside of his continued concussions.  I mean if the guy is smart he'll move on from football if he wants to have a brain that's not made of mush by the time he's 30, but I don't see him walking away.  The Titans aren't nearly good enough for Brady to want to go to.  Getting rid of AJ brown ruined those chances.  

I could see the Raiders, and have heard this rumor, I'm just not sure why that would be more attractive than Tampa.  

I think the Raiders are a very likely scenario.  Or, staying put in Tampa.  All that is assuming he plays at all.  If I were in his position, I'd start focusing on the family and make an effort to reconcile with the wifie.  There are plenty of ways he can continue to earn money without playing football, possibly even more than he would earn by playing.  He's already earning millions from endorsements alone.  Regardless of how much he had invested in FTX, I doubt it's about the money.


I think the Niners have a really good chance of winning it all.  Which is crazy.  Not sure about Dallas. They played well last night but they are not consistent.

The only concern I have is traveling to Philadelphia.  Not that the I think the Eagles are that good, but that time difference has been an issue in the past.  I'm rooting for the Giants this weekend with as much tenacity as I'll be rooting for the 9ers.  If the Giants win, the NFC Championship game will be in San Francisco.

No one is interested in searching for puzzles in your text.  If you want a loan and have an old account that shows some history and trust you may be more likely to get a loan if you ask using that account.  Just out of curiosity, why aren't you using your old account?
884  Economy / Lending / Re: I need a $370 loan on: January 17, 2023, 08:42:44 PM
in order for them to be valid collateral, the lender must be able to cash out them in the short term in case you do not repay the loan. that is not possible here.
You are not the first who's trying to sell a domain through a loan.
I understand this point. because of this, I'll add more domains. I hope this is will be enough to be valid collateral.

Obviously you don't understand his point; you've been trying to sell domains on this forum for 6 years and as far as I can tell you haven't sold a single one.   More worthless domains don't add value to valueless collateral.

I suggest you lock this thread, and focus on getting the money you need some other way.  This loan request isn't likely to end well.

W0w, Brady has more playoff wins than the entire cowboys franchise!
That’s insane, considering how good the Cowboys were in the 90s when I was growing up.

I was surprised to see that stat also.  Not only were the Cowboys tough in the early 90's but the late 70s and early 80s also.  It's crazy how much success Brady has had, he may be holding onto many of those records for all eternity.

He doesn't have that spark, its like hes just going through the motions.

He had a wide open field right before the half and didn't even try to run for the first.

Disappointing showing by Brady and most of TB. Brady should retire but the thing is next year he can still make a sucky team slightly less sucky, so he probably won't.
He should but there are several good teams which will pursue him and for someone like him it would be impossible to say no to all of those offers.

According to the rumors there are supposedly 4 teams interested in him, the 49ers, Titans, Raiders and Dolphins, the 49ers are the best option by far however I would say that if Purdy takes them to the SB then that door will close down, the Dolphins also makes sense, he is at Florida already, Florida has no state income tax and Tua has too many injury issues, while both the Titans and the Raiders have some NE influence and he could feel at home by going there.

I'm sure that Brady would love nothing more than to retire as 49er, but I really don't see that happening.  Obviously he's the greatest QB of all time, but he's not likely to make the 9ers better, or fit into Shanahan's system.  The only way he comes to SF is if Purdy completely blows it or gets hurt.  Shanahan already had a pocket passer in Garoppolo, but he never trusted him.  I don't see Brady as someone that Shanahan would put a lot of effort into getting on his team, unless of course he visits the Seahawks...

Thinking about it from the most realistic perspective; I'm of the opinion that we may have seen the last snap of Brady's illustrious career last night.

The coldcard wallet can supposedly work with NFC and a smartphone without the need to ever use a computer. I have not tested it and didnt see somebody do it, but it may be one more for the list.

The ColdCard Mk4 can also be used with a USBC-OTG cable and any hardware compatible wallet app.  It can also be used with any phone that has a microSD reader, if you choose to keep it's USB features disabled.

@Pmalek, I don't recall having that issue on my system; Windows, wireless keyboard and mouse, but it's a desktop rig, not a laptop.  I have Trezor Suite installed on a laptop running Debian/Cinnamon, but haven't had any issues with a wireless usb mouse on that system, either.

I assume you've updated the Trezor to the latest firmware? Also, I'm curious if you have tried accessing your Trezor with Electrum, and does it have the same issue?
890  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏈🏈 The American Football Discussion Thread 🏈🏈 on: January 15, 2023, 04:03:51 PM
From social media hehehe. This idea for a new horror movie. The Chargering.



Almost an unreal outcome but I have seen slightly weirder things happen. Almost turned the game off at halftime, glad I didn't.

Lol, the Chargering.  That's a good one.  What a crazy game, I watched the first three quarters on the shuttle bus on the way back from the 9er's game, and caught the end on the radio while driving home from the park-and-ride.  It looked like an embarrassment throughout the first half.  The announcers kept reminding us that Lawrence hadn't ever thrown and interception in the first quarter, and in his first post-season appearance he throws three.  And then a fourth...

I can't remember if I've ever seen a team come back from four turnovers in the first half.  That was an amazing comeback.

Put a small bet on Giants to cover +3.5 against the Vikings... this is purely based on the contrasting ability of these teams to cover the spread this season.

I'd like to see a Bills/49ers or Bills/Eagles Super Bowl.

Bills - 9ers is what I'm expecting, but I'm scared if we have to travel to Philadelphia.  Not that I think we can't beat the Eagles, but historically we haven't done well in the eastern time zone, and Philadelphia in particular has been tough.

As for today's games; I'm hoping for the Vikings to win, but I agree that the Giant's will likely make a good game of it.  I expect the Cowboys to beat the Buccaneers tomorrow, so if the Vikings win, they'll have to come to SF, and the Cowboys will have to go to Philadelphia.  I have more confidence in the Cowboys beating the Eagles than the Giants.  If the Eagles get beaten next week the NFC Championship game will be in San Francisco.  That's my dream scenario.

^  Just looking at the stats would make you think City isn't dominating the match but they somewhat are optics wise.  They have most of the ball and they are controlling the tempo well.  It's just they seem a little bit sluggish.  And that damn ref...  Is it just me or is the ref not calling fouls commited by United?  :/

Edit:  0 - 1 City.  Finally. Time for another one then United get one in.  Grin

I agree that City looks kind of flat.  After last week's performance I wasn't expecting much from them, but after 70 or so minutes I figured I wasn't getting any points from my prediction.  But now look at it!

ManU just scored two in a matter of minutes!  2-1 United is my prediction, so now I need no one else to score!

Also another one question - can electrum be operated with Bitcoin Core's commands?

Yes and no, but not exactly.  Some commands will work for both Bitcoin Core and Electrum, but that's merely coincidence.  For example getinfo is a command recognized by both programs.

I guess I misunderstood your question originally (and apparently I wasn't the only one.)  I was under the impression you were trying to verify that you downloaded the official and authentic version of Electrum from the official source.  The link I shared in my previous post is a guide to confirm you have the legitimate release, not a guide to sign and verify messages within Electrum.

Hey guys, in case you haven't seen it, jeremypwr posted a Wild Card Weekend prediction contest on behalf of Sportsbet.  It's free to participate and you can win up to 3mBTC worth of free bets on Sportsbet.io.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5433647.msg61568696#msg61568696


Any interest in an NFL playoff pool? Basically an entry could be like $25 bucks or whatever ( I don't even care if we did $5 worth of bitcoin each, any amount would be some fun action for the playoffs)... each team/person makes picks on each game all the way down to the winner of the Super Bowl.  Each round would have a certain amount of points that you get for correctly picking the winner.  Player with the most points at the end, wins the pot. 

If anyone is interested...



That sounds like fun.  If you plan to include Wild Card Weekend you better hurry.  The games start tomorrow at 1:25pm Pacific Time.


Speaking of tomorrow's games, my brother got two tickets for the 9er's game tomorrow so I'll be attending live!  The last time I was at a game was at Candlestick Park I don't know how many years ago, so I'm pretty excited to see the "new" stadium and watch the 9ers take care of the Seahawks again.

7 times failed then connect to the server, connection was not stable hopefully conflicted with the system, Confused bug my OS or Electrum.

How process runs i verified electrum for OS?

Here's a guide that includes instructions for your OS: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5240594.0

As for the connection to the server, your screenshot shows that your Electrum client is connected to a server.  As Abdussamad mentioned, the connection indicator is the litte circle in the lower right hand corner of the app window.  In the screenshot your circle is green, which means you are connected to a server via clear net.  A Tor connection would turn the circle blue, and if you aren't connected at all the circle would be red.
897  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Hardware Wallets - Ledger vs Trezor, Other recommendations? on: January 11, 2023, 11:15:59 PM
#fun fact
But when you recommend Coldcard, there is something in common with the username you used, that is, this version of Colcard is named "mk4" on the board, are you the developer? or mk4 is just the serial name taken from the Toyota Supra mk4 which happens to be the same as your username.

Hah. Mk4 can mean many things — a car model(Volkswagen Golf Mk4, etc), a videogame(Mortal Kombat 4), an Iron Man armor version(Mark IV), etc. Coldcard's mk4 is just one of many similar names. Tongue

My personal favorite is the Ruger MkII, but the MkIV is nice too.  Tongue



Really now, the ColdCard is a great weapon tool for the bitcoin maximalist, I've really been enjoying mine. 

The other one I would recommend for the bitcoin maximalist is the Foundation Passport.  I recently got one myself but haven't used it too much just yet, however I can easily see it replacing my ColdCard as my favorite hardware wallet. 

The Trezor Model T is also great and I would recommend it to those who need to hold alts on their hardware wallets.  Mine has been relegated to holding XMR and DOGE, since I've been exclusively using the ColdCard for bitcoin since last summer.

Those are the three that I would recommend, and I specifically recommend avoiding the Ledger models.
898  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Guys, what electrum server you run on: January 11, 2023, 10:59:57 PM
Holy sh!t, even I don't have anywhere near those specs.

So what are the resource requirements for vanilla electrs? Hopefully not anything more than Bitcoin Core (minus all that storage and bandwidth).

The original electrs is meant to have kinda same requirements as the bitcoin node:

The motivation behind this project is to enable a user to self host an Electrum server, with required hardware resources not much beyond those of a full node.

But the page doesn't tell much else than

Low CPU & memory usage (after initial indexing)

I don't have exact specs (and I'm at work, so I can't check at the moment,) but electrs is pretty light to run.  I have it running with mainnet, and as far as I can tell it's only using about 20GB of disk space and hardly ever makes a blip on ram.  I'm sure it used more ram while synchronizing, but I don't recall it ever causing the machine to react slowly while doing other things.  That particular mainnet node is a Dell SFF box with an I5 processor and 16GB of ram.

I also have electrs running on my testnet node (a RPi4 with 8GB of ram and a 128GB microSD card for storage,) and I believe it's using less than 3GB of space on that device.  Electrs is obviously one of the lightest SPV servers out there, but it's been plenty reliable for me and my small circle of family and friends who've been using it.
899  Economy / Reputation / Re: I've been hacked (Electrum 4.3.2) on: January 10, 2023, 08:45:39 PM
As the first part above was just the thoughts pouring in to my mind that I had to post it immediately.

Here's some clarifications.

Again I am using Electrum 4.3.2. That wallet has been telling me to update itself but I neglected that info thinking the wallet is safe.

The 12 word pass phrase was never written on any document online. I wrote it down directly into my personal notebook. The password to it is also unique for which I have never used anywhere else.

The problem is my system had no anti-virus or whatsoever, it does have windows defender but now, I think that shitty app isn't doing anything. I got zero ping that someone is accesing my system. If I haven't been informed by Coinomize team that the funds were transferred, I wouldn't have notice it since the Electrum wallet was last openned four hours ago after the funds were transferred. Meaning, the wallet is offline.

I know all of you will not believe me but I will do everything I can to repay the lost funds even if it takes a while.

The Yo!Mix team and Coinomize team will probably post a scam accusation soon and rightfully so since I have no means to prove my innocence. I will accept whatever this community would think of me as I know this is all my fault for being so careless and stupid.

I've been in this forum since 2017 and I'm truly heart broken that this happened.

Sorry to hear about your loss, I hope you are able to recover the funds and carry on with your business.

Everybody seems to want to jump to the conclusion that your system was hacked, or you suffered due to some malware or virus, but it's been my experience that most of the time these things are a result of carelessness.  I'm not convinced that you've been hacked or infected with malware.

You said you wrote down the seed phrase in your personal notebook, correct?  Did you also write the seed phrase for your hardware wallet in the same notebook?  How securely is that notebook stored?  Did you leave it out somewhere where someone could have seen it?  You seem to be confident that the funds in your Ledger wallet are safe, how can you be so sure?  You mentioned that you only have alts stored in the Ledger, it may be just a matter of time before the thief finds those accounts too.

Until you can answer the question of how this happened to your hot Electrum wallet, you should assume that all your seed phrases and all your funds are compromised.

Good luck.

P.S.  Some people will tell you to stop using Windows...  I don't care what you use for an operating system, no OS will save you from yourself.
