I made a thread some time ago on how to protect your capital and also protect yourself from scams. And the major pointer I stated was that we should, view every offer as a scam and then look for reasons to prove otherwise.

If one starts from a position of skepticism, you would be more wary of such unsolicited messages. However I guess anyone can slip up at some point, and you'll likely not be a victim anytime soon.

I was getting the exact same error some days ago, and for safety reasons I didn't bypass it and just let it be for a while assuming it was some kind of server error.
It appears to be working normally now on my browser without any action from my end. You can try again, and if need be refresh your cache.

2fa is not going to be implemented on the forum, but you can use 2fa on the external sites that link to bitcointalk if you want extra security, such as your email address (if it permits it). If you observe the basic security measures and avoid logging in on external devices and clicking on phishing links, your account shod be fine. Don't expose your email address on your profile as well.
4924  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [For merit] Discuss the effect mining rewards have on the price of Bitcoin on: November 17, 2019, 09:07:41 PM
...
From my point of view, this is how mining rewards is affected by a change in price and not the other way around. Although, other factors associated with bitcoins are affected by changes in the market price.
Mining rewards is affected by mining difficulty and this is affected by the availability of miners at a specific time, and this is affected by the price of bitcoin at that time.
But charts shows an increase pattern in the price of bitcoins with each halving process, so does this mean that the price of bitcoins adjusts to keep mining profitable and maintain balance in the network?

If it's a website I will put on push notifications for the event, and an app would have the settings also. If it's not possible to be automatically notified I will likely not participate as waiting and regularly checking up for a month (or how long it takes) is kind of draining, especially as you are not going to win just by getting the time, you still need luck to win in the jackpot.

The thing is that what if he's just another 'one hit wonder'? He might regret not choosing Man Utd when they came calling for him 'cause he may not have another sensational season like this one. Look at what Jovic or Frenkie de Jong did, they didn't hesitate to accept the offer from the top teams because they know it's a once in a lifetime opportunity, you just never know what's gonna happen in the future (injury or poor form).
I did not closely follow Jovic before his move to Real Madrid, but Frenkie De Jong was not a one hit wonder, he put in good performances over the years at Ajax, and last season was the cumulation of his career, from the best player in the Eredivise league, to the best midfielder in Europe and a place in the FIFA Pro XI.
I agree that players should strike when the hammer is hot i.e when their form is at its best, but moving too quick could also be detrimental to their career.

I think the codes are active for only a specific time, i have also tried to claim it with no luck yet, I'll try to be faster next time.
maybe there will be a far more interesting update later.
I don't think there's any need for major changes at the moment, maybe just minor tweaks to the interface and possibly the more promo codes to win from.

Forum names or profile links are not top secret. Also the account as you claim is not under your control, you may want a DT to leave a feedback on it to deter people from dealing with the account.

A signature is necessary to prove you're the original owner of the account, it's possible to get your account recovered without it in some cases if you still have the original email address used to register the account.
We've streamlined our processes, and Cyrus has put together a team for handling these cases, so account recoveries should now be handled at a reasonable pace again. Additionally, we will be somewhat more lenient in recovering accounts without signatures, though signatures often will still be required, depending on the situation.
Also as suggested above, this topic is better fit for the Meta section.

The amazing thing about Leicester City is they're winning matches comfortably, and scoring goals for fun while maintaining a very solid defense. The current team is very reminiscent of the team that won the premier league. Great talent on display, imagine the team they would have built, had they mot lost some of their stars such as Mahrez and Kante.
Any other season and they would be strong contenders for the title but I think Manchester City and Liverpool would be to tough for the other teams after 38 games

...

Paying with cryptocurrency is quite novel and not popular, hence it would seem odd to those who are is used to more traditional means of making purchases. And there are various options in paying with cryptocurrency , such as lightening network. It would take a while for mass adoption but I believe that would eventually happen, and with it more simplistic ways of making payment through cryptocurrency.

The tournament is already living to expectations as it isn't shy of goals and also filled with outstanding display by the players.
I'm not closely following the full matches, but catching up on the highlights. African football always had so much potential to be better than it was (and to an extent still is). The love for football on the continent is massive and so is the talent. Hopefully with this and subsequent tournaments we show that to the world and shine more light on our own football; the home based leagues.
Impressive result by Ghana and Kenya. Nigeria made hardwork of it, but a winning start is always welcome.

They do not necessarily have to lose 3 straight matches, there are 26 matches left. Dropping points at any point in the season would put pressure on then and reduce the gap. And I believe Liverpool would lose this season, but so will their opponents. If they (Liverpool) can be more consistent then they will be champions at the end of the season.
It would be quite remarkable if they top the league from the beginning to the end

So which got more efficiency here,google knew what you want but while browsing anonymous browsers we may have to spend more time for finding the same,I am not encourage their spying behaviour on every user but at least it won't be a problem for most people.

As long as they function within the ambits of the privacy policy, it wouldn't be a problem. User information can be used for analytics purposes and also to track user behavior. But left unchecked this websites and social medias can use such information to adverse effect. The information is our of youe hands, and a leak, or deliberate breach could lead to the spread of such data among the wrong hands.
I would much rather safety than efficiency.

I believe one of the signature campaigns has recently stopped so I would think it would be 18 signature campaigns.
Just saw your reply after posting, I believe match365 is the campaign which is ended (for now).
4936  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Cup of Nation Discussion Thread || Current Phase: Qualification. on: November 13, 2019, 10:02:44 AM
I expect Nigeria to win their match and possibly give playing time to some of the locally based players in the squad.
The match of the round for me is Ghana - South Africa. Definitely not as polarizing as when the South Africans take on Nigeria, but there's still plenty of talent on display and a lot at stake, both teams would be expected to lead the group, the question is, who tops?

4938  Other / Meta / Re: Do we need at least one merit source per local board section? on: November 13, 2019, 06:10:44 AM
English language is not the prerequisite for exploring the blockchain technology, it is not the most spoken language (by population), and if it's not among a country's official languages, then there's a possibility many of its citizens will not be able to speak/write in it acceptably. Users should not be forced outside their comfort zones in search of merits, I believe that's one of the reasons local boards were created.

Choosing a merit source for a local board however should depend on some factors, the need for it and the availability of a qualified member of that board to fill the role, it shouldn't be done generally.
4939  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Cup of Nation Discussion Thread || Current Phase: Qualification. on: November 12, 2019, 06:46:36 PM
In earlier competitions Cameroon would have gotten an automatic ticket to the competition by virtue of being hosts, but they have to also partake in the qualifying phase now. Well, I expect they would qualify easily from their group,
I would also expect Nigeria to qualify from their group. They have lots of talented players who are performing brilliantly in various continents
4940  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: November 12, 2019, 06:39:29 PM
but yes there was a hand ball which City could manage to get a penalty but again this is a part of the game. You can not expect referee to see everything.
The referees does see everything that's why VAR exists, it's a video assistant, so whatever the referee misses they pick it up in the studio. The issue is it was a 50-50 situation. And I believe the VARs were split on which decision to make, the fact that Liverpool scored from the ensuing play made it even more difficult. The second incident for me was clearly not a penalty, the ball was played from too close (distance from Arnold's hands to the ball) and his hands were not spread wide, it was similar to the Bernardo Silva handball in the first half; too close, and so can not be given.

The rules regarding handballs are constantly being updated, and we would have such arguments and debates as fans are swayed by club affiliation.
