Я думаю, что сейчас уже совсем не много таких молодых людей, которые действительно заинтересовались технологией блокчейн, биткоином, криптопроектами и которые ничего про это не знают до прихода на наш форум. Просто когда то форум и правда был единственным местом, где можно было получить нормальную достоверную, инфу про все вопросы по этой теме. А теперь таких источников множество. И форум практически затерялся среди это лавины ютуб Телеграм... потоков, и множества икспертов советчиков.
Так что не стоит думать, что новички здесь появятся в каком-то приличном количестве.
Ну и учитываем, что тема блокчейна стала из новаторской довольно обыденной, обычной и привычной.

Вот интересно где сейчас и чем заняты товарищи andme  и  CFB 

andme кстати где то с полгода назад я смотрю ещё посещал наш форум.

Я выскажу свое соображение по этому поводу.

Мне кажется, что биткоин и LN неплохо решает одну проблему с  микроплатежами. Ведь население Сальвадора нищее по меркам европейцев. Там у какого нибудь рыбака доход может быть $1 в день. А ему соответственно надо и поесть, выпить, чего то одеть, снасти поправить и так далее. Всё это стоит в их краях центы. А железных центов может не хватать и номинал их может быть слишком неудобным и даже крупным для микроплатежей. Вот и вручают их в этом случае платежи в сатошах.
Меня на эту мысль навела их презентация примитивного банкомата, о котором тут выше уже писал. Этот банкомат хавает железные центы и на счёт Чиво или ещё какого то кошелька шлет сатошики.
Ну а так как 100 sat = 2,6 цента, то и рассчитываться удобнее.

Но не берусь судить так ли это, однако такие банкоматы сделали, поставили, они работают а значит используются.

Gambling addiction is a fairly characteristic phenomenon of the human psyche.  Like any other hobby that brings a person some kind of pleasure and pleasant pastime, it is always quite difficult to determine the very moment when, in general, a fairly harmless hobby becomes practically a disease for a person.  Usually a person himself realizes that this hobby becomes a disease later than his close people can notice.  Therefore, treatment of gambling addiction is often very  diffiicult to carry out simply because the psychology of such a gambling addict always tells him that he can easily quit gambling as soon as he wants to.  However, this is not true.  But forcibly turning off the computer or not giving money for the game only creates a precedent when the addicted player begins to struggle with difficulties.  And he begins to fight as best he can.  And this seriously complicates his life and the lives of all his loved ones.

А не кажется вам, что нас всех умышленно втянули в эту самую игру в рулетку.
Вообще то говоря, какого хера кто то там взялся метить биткоины, бля как когда ловят взяточников в пакет с баблом вставляют такой взрывпакет с несмываемой краской. Вот примерно такое ощущение.
Всё это поганое банкстерское сообщество и силовики, ходящие под ними мудрит чтобы опять же все взять под контроль.
Как то не туда вообще загибается путь биткоина, в начале светлый и прямой становится поганым и кривым. И это очень хреново.

Интересно есть ли какие нибудь штрафные санкции от того, кто заказывает музыку  ?
Вот тут ведь пару недель назад вроде как малость нашкодили, точнее недокодили.  
Но исправились.
Разработчики Ethereum со второй попытки запустили тестнет Holesky после неудачной попытки, кстати приуроченный ранее к годовщине обновления Merge.
Для завершения запуска команда Ethereum ждала, когда «уровень участия» валидаторов достигнет 66%.
Планируется, что Holesky проработает до 2028 года.
От существующих тестнетов Holesky будет отличаться значительно большим числом валидаторов, количество которых превысит показатель основной сети — это позволит проверять решения в более жестких условиях.
Holesky сыграет важную роль в запланированном хардфорке Dencun (Cancun-Deneb).

Ну а как собственно его винить, укорять что ли ? Человека вынесло когда то в олигархат, как и всех остальных олигархов, заслуги которых всегда сильно преувеличены, так как этот вынос достаточно случайное событие. Он просто соответствует своему месту в иерархии власть - бизнес. Вот и все. И соответственно обязан вести себя гибко и конечно выполнять то, что ему настоятельно  советуют окружающие его люди. Конечно такие люди, как Павел, всегда находятся в состоянии бесконечных компромиссов и борьбы противоположностей. И все что происходит с Телеграм это результат такой борьбы. Тут важна общая тенденция, а как мы все понимаем она идёт в направлении борьбы с экстремизмом (что я однозначно одобряю) и полной деанонимизации личностей, общающихся в мессенджере (а это я не одобряю, так как у каждого человека есть личная неприкосновенная скрытая зона, нужная ему для комфорта). И это будет достигнуто в ближайшие годы с использованием ИИ и иными методами. Так что тотальный контроль не за горами. Добавим ещё CBDC и все вообще станет в шоколаде.

К моему глубокому сожалению это похоже на правду.
И этот эволюционный процесс преобразования системы анонимных платежей в абсолютно персонифицированные планомерно идёт, что мы все видим и понимаем. Остается, наверное небольшой пул анонимных биткоин китов и альтовых китов, но и они постепенно все равно вынуждены будет выйти из тени. Просто иначе они никак не смогут воспользоваться своими криптобогатствами. И таких все меньше и меньше. И не только китов, но и всех остальных даже с небольшими стейками.
Все это очень печально потому что сама идея, способная в лучшую сторону повернуть вообще цивилизационное развитие, оболгана и испагагена финансовыми элитами мира. Ну а что собственно от них было ждать, кроме как наглого и жадного хапужничества вообще всех денег, до которых они могут дотянуться.

If OP had an epiphany and came up with some unique method for checking provable honesty, then it should first be published in academic and scientific publications that have a mathematical or unitary cryptographic direction.  And at the same time, of course, retaining th authorship and rights to this discovery.  These actions, in the case of a truly ingenious nature of the invention of the algorithm, should be discussed and confirmed in the scientific community of specialists.  Further development of the idea is only possible if the scientific community truly confirms its uniqueness and accuracy.  And also the possibility of correct use in casino practice, as an algorithm for confirming provable honesty.  
I consider all other actions of OP to promote his invention in such a primitive way to be somehow naive and too simple.  

Therefore, I think no self-respecting casino would be interested in an invention that is advertised by OP in this way.

For example, I generally really like that such a feature of casinos as holding art competitions has become so famous that now if you ask any gambler who knows at least a little about online casinos, which casino holds such competitions, then this player’s answer will be  immediately and unambiguously - Roobet. 
I consider this a very successful marketing move by casino marketers.  It was not just invented by a marketer or someone smart and talented among the devs or casino executives to attract more players, but also to promote the development of modern art.  This is a very humane and kind characteristic of this casino, which has now become a label. 
This is exactly what people in our world, mired in the secrets of politicians, war, viollence, rampant crime and other negative things on the world stage, are in short supply and really lack.

А вот интересно было бы узнать куда это они ушли "на повышение" ?
Времени прошло уже достаточно с момента их ухода из Бинанса, вероятно уже определились с этим их "повышениием"  
Но в любом случае, судя по отзывам работавших с ними криптанов действительно хорошие, грамотные руководители.

I would like to highlight some very positive news that is not well publicized but is very important for the economy.  This news is reported in one of the official newspapers of El Salvador.
Local newspaper Diario El Salvador reports that  El Salvador's stock market rose 71.3% in the 8 months (including August) of 2023 compared to the same period last year.
 The stock exchange registered 5,669 transactions worth $2,918.4M for the accounting period January-July 2023. The stock exchange report also indicates that in August 785 transactions were registered on the country's stock market for a total amount of $450.4M.

 It seems to me that these are very good results for such a small country and this is the success of the economic policy pursued by the El Salvador government.  By many similar indicators, this growth is not just good, it is fantastic!

I think that most likely it is not very easy to determine which casino ranks second, third, and generally several of these most prestigious places. 
First of all, because how will you evaluate the work as a whole, financial turnover, the quality of fulfillment of obligations to clients, players and contractors, financial reserves, pending legal disputes, and so on and so forth.  The fact is that there are many such parameters and therefore I don’t really understand what criteria should be used to determine the sequence of such places in the ratings.  In my opinion, given the conditionally first place you have determined for this casino, there are at least 6 - 8 largest casinos, which are all in the group conditionally occupying second place. 
And I think this will be true in relation to each of the casinos that are conditionally included in this group of the most famous casinos in general in the gambling market

This is radical and, of course, the most effective advice to avoid unnecessary troubles in life. 

But if you follow your advice exactly, then a person may simply not know and never feel the emotions and experiences that a gambler experiences during the game.  And this is quite an interesting experience and a very interesting part of a person’s life.  You can, of course, never try to gamble, but I think that a pereson who does this still loses a lot in life.  And even such a person simply does not know at all what feelings and emotions he could receive.  And how he could diversify his life and would not regret playing in the casino. 
By the way, many people have an excellent impression of playing in a physical casino. 
And  this is always an interesting experience, memorable for a lifetime.

I think that potentially, businessmen who organize a casino and the operation of this casino in practice always know very well that they will definitely carry out identity verification checks according to the KYC procedure.  And in order to preserve their business, they will also be required to constantly monitor the flow of cryptocurrency by introducing mandatory verification using AML. 
however, such casino managers often instruct marketing services not to indicate too clearly and openly that the player will have to undergo KYC, and even more so if he wins.  This question can be formulated and stated in such a way, for example, even in the ToS, that the player will think that he can safely play in this casino and no one will   want to know his identity and he will calmly receive his winnings without any KYC.  And of course, advertising such as the absence of KYC works great and the number of players in such a casino is growing.  But at some moment, completely unexpected for you, the support of such a casino will inform you that they are forced to carry out KYC right now, because this is a legal requirement.  But supposedly just yesterday it was possible without KYC.  This is of course an outright lie. 
So you should always take into account that when playing in a casino, if you win, you will still have to provide your verification data.

Interesting case. 
Of course, this is just wonderful and completely unrealistic luck!  Naturally, all local newspapers should have reported about such a win.  Actually, you know about this.  Such cases, of course, happen and this impresses people more and more and essentially advertises the very holding of lotteries. 

As I know, in most jurisdictions in the world there are laws regulating the conduct and rules of lotteries because a percentage of the amount of sales of lottery tickets must be established, which must be allocated to the winnings of the winner or several winners.  The organizers are obliged to pay the winners no less than the amount determined by these percentages.  And interest is established by law or other legal act of the state.  This is an elementary fight against possible fraud during the lottery.  Many people know about these rules and this, in my opinion, greatly contributes to the success of distributing lottery tickets. 
And add advertising with such random and huge winnings and, like a guy who bought a sandwich at a gas station. 
So it turns out that quite a large number of the population participates in the purchase of lottery tickets.  This is especially practiced in countries with low living standards.

That's what I read in this topic, these last few dozen posts clearly indicate that these posts are written by men.  And therefore this is a male view on the issue of women gambling.  For purity of opinion and objectivity, of course, you need to know the point of view of the women themselves.  Of course, everyone admits that there are still fewer women gamblers than men.  But it is also important to reliably find out the opinion of women because the nature and direction of conversations and discussions of gamblin g in the women’s campaign differs from conversations in the men’s campaign.  I think, but I’m not sure, that in women’s campaigns, friends are simply often embarrassed to say anything at all about gambling simply because it is considered a man’s business and too rude and primitive.  Conversations in the women's campaign are conversations on other topics about all sorts of beautiful dresses, outfits, jewelry, makeup and who looks like, I think that it is simply not customary to mention gambling at all.

Moreover, the entire business built on people’s passion for gambling is so profitable that very often government authorities not only impose extremely high taxes on casinos, but even begin to ban the activities of casinos on the basis of massive bankruptcies of manyy people susceptible to gambling addiction.  However, income from casino activities and a fairly quick payback of the initial cash costs for organizing this business still force the owners and organizers to continue to create more and more new casinos despite any repression from local regulators.  It is enough to change jurisdictions and the business can be successfully continued.  In my opinion, competent representatives of responsible government agencies are looking for a middle ground in this matter.  And large, but not excessive taxes on gambling.  And reasonable, but not cruel and brutal bans on the operation of casinos. 
However, in many countries, the authorities are not able to fulfill such a balance of interests of both players and casinos and the state itself.  This is sad.

It seems to me that in general it is much more difficult for girls and women to reach such a level in their games that they actually require treatment for gaming addiction by professional   psychologits or psychiatrists, or even medical treatment prescribed by doctors.  Firstly, few women are interested in gambling compared to men.  Secondly, women are less risk-averse in general, they are more cauttious, and I would say they would never make such a risky bet for a large amount that a man can decide on.  So you remembered a really rare case.  And by the way, on the issue of treating gambling addiction in women, the picture here does not correspond at all to the ratio in the treatment of drug addiction, where the ratio of drug addicted men and women is approximately the same. 
But I think there are about an order of magnitude fewer women suffering from gambling addiction than men.

It is quite possible that the casino devs will pay attention to the issues with the BFG token, which are so actively discussed in this topic. Well, for example, they will make it so that in the casino interface it would still be possible to find out the current price of the token in dollars without unnecessary actions.  But in general, it seems to me that despite the plans for BFG tokenomics, which were too optimistic two or three years ago, and which are also given in the white paper of this project, they simply moved into the stage of a pessimistic scenario.  However, it is too early to despair and give up and abandon further development.  In any business, a pessimistic development scenario does not mean the complete collapse of a project.  But these may well just be times of survival and waiting for a new surge in devs’ enthusiasm and new solutions. 
It is obvious that the bullish cycle will immediately revive all the work on the token.  So you just have to wait and not despair. 
We must be optimistic.
