1121  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ] JOSHUA vs USYK on: September 25, 2021, 10:28:18 PM
What a fantastic fight. Usyk was too fast and skillful for AJ. Joshua started to have some success after he was landing some body shots but Usyk closed out the championship rounds very well and it looked like he was close to getting a knockout several times.

We will probably not get an undisputed champion anytime soon due to the rematch clause in this fight, but I think Fury vs. Usyk is a much more interesting fight. Joshua would not have done well against Fury if he is not even able to take a punch from a cruiserweight.
1122  Other / Off-topic / Re: GGG will have a fight this year! (BOXING) on: September 25, 2021, 05:01:16 AM
Ryota Murata is not a popular boxer, only had 16 fights (https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/657422) while he loses of that fights.

This fight will be in Japan, so it's good for Ryota Murata as he is in his home-court advantage, but I doubt it will help him win because GGG will not make him last 12 rounds, most probably a KO win by GGG will be witnessed in the fight day.

I'm just impressed by the promoter of the fight as they also consider bringing the fight to Japan and Asians would be happy with that.

Murata is very popular in Japan. They could easily sell out a stadium with this fight. It all depends on what Covid precautions will look like. They might have the fight in a smaller arena. The fight is around the New Year holiday which is when they have a lot of big fights in Japan.

I think this is an evenly matched fight. GGG is past his prime and gets hit a lot. Murata has the perfect style to go toe to toe and make it an exciting fight which I expect to be a war.

Elizabeth Warren is trying to throw any FUD she can on Bitcoin. She tries to portray herself as a champion of the people but that could not be further from reality. She is not trying to protect consumers. Trying to restrict Bitcoin will only deprive millions of people from financial opportunities that are not possible within traditional finance. There was even this open letter to Elizabeth Warren stating all the benefits Bitcoin offers. Apparently, she does not care and is even willing to screw over minorities and women for the sake of protecting the US dollar's hegemony.

Snoop Dogg has always been a good marketer. He is involved in a lot of businesses and products where you wouldn't really expect him to be a part of. He is someone that can appeal to many different audiences. I'm not into NFTs but I am sure that there is somebody out there who is a fan of Snoop and will decide to check this project out because of him.
1125  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advanced settings for dice bets on: September 24, 2021, 10:02:48 PM
I've used dice bots before but in my opinion they are not very user friendly. The UI isn't very nice looking and isn't the most intuitive. You also need to have some programming knowledge to customize the bot's strategy to the way you want it. I have not really found a strategy that was effective over a long time so I just prefer to use automated rolling directly on the casino website.
1126  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Polygon vs BSC on: September 24, 2021, 06:13:28 AM
They can both co-exist. There are many projects who build on both blockchains and they also share some of their user base. Binance Smart Chain is a little bit older and has more financial backing so it has a bigger ecosystem currently. Polygon is not far behind though because they are relying a lot on Ethereum's network effects to gain attention. Many of ETH's top dapps are available on Polygon.
1127  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you believe BTC can be attacked? on: September 24, 2021, 04:52:37 AM
Poly Network wasn't a blockchain, it was a DeFi platform, so it is not really comparable to Bitcoin. This was more like The DAO getting hacked. Bitcoin can't be hacked because it is not the code itself that decides what Bitcoin is, it is consensus. You can have bugs in Bitcoin Core software but when this happens they are fixed and everyone agrees on what will get validated.

I get the 1 Satoshi thing also back and forth, but then I do spend some.   I think part or maybe the largest reason why this would happen is the variable term of interest.  Its not a precise 24hr interest is it because the time of pay is varied randomly if Im remembering right, its every day but sometimes its 16hr maybe the next day it's registering 28hr since the last pay.  If it was calculating the interest by the hour not exactly the day because perhaps some people do vary their balance alot and withdraw.
  We're basically discussing the compound effect, you gained mostly in the balance from the prior interest (plus wheel spin minor stuff but largely the balance is carried over cumulatively etc.) so thats the difference observed with some of this 'wobble' back and forth.  Just a theory, I might have that wrong but I presume everyone can observe similar and so its universal.

I believe it has to do with how the interest is calculated. If they credited you with the exact percentage then they would have to add extra decimal places. Instead of adding extra decimals they sometimes round the amount up to the nearest satoshi to make up for the fractions of a sat you're not receiving the previous days.
1129  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Reymart Gaballo (WBC bantamweight) on: September 23, 2021, 05:42:57 AM
Gaballo is undefeated but he has very limited experience and has never fought a boxer who is on Donaire's level. Donaire is an old fighter but this is a fight he should win. He is more skilled and accomplished. Gaballo is a novice by comparison but this is an opportunity to make a name for himself.
1130  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Blockchain and Gambling on: September 23, 2021, 03:16:48 AM
So I recently read a very interesting article which actually defines about how blockchain is responsible for more responsible gambling.
https://www.gamblingnews.com/news/hashing-it-out-ep-11-blockchain-as-a-solution-for-more-responsible-gambling/
Quote
One of the attendees whom CoinGeek interviewed is Peter Higgins – a commercial mediator whose work is to solve disputes between gambling operators and clients. Higgins explained that sometimes these conflicts involve big sums of money and that his job is to prevent things from escalating to court where possible.

Speaking about blockchain, Higgins is quite optimistic about its use in solving such conflicts as their robust way of working will make it much easier to find out who is right and who is wrong.

“If you can have these ledgers in place that proves what was placed when with some different examples, in crude terms, it’s basically more evidence for the operator or for the client in that case,” Higgins explained.


- An essential method to solve conflicts in the long run which does mean that there will be less problems and we will have more proof in case of some dispute

Not only that it have immense potential account to the author, the knowledge, license, the compliance, data, gambling, approach safety it's all very well received with blockchain technology.

It can also be used to track a players journey apparently which I don't really understand about how it's under the privacy map.

Well the article was overall a good read, what do you think ?

I would not trust CoinGeek to be an unbiased news source. They are owned by Calvin Ayre who has many gambling related businesses and he is also heavily invested in BSV. They are even shilling nChain and BSV in the article. BSV is one of the worst options for gambling because most of the hashpower is owned by Calvin so if there was a gambling outcome where one of his casinos suffers a devastating loss then they could just reorganize the blockchain to undo that outcome.
1131  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: which is the best application for blockchain? on: September 23, 2021, 02:51:27 AM
Transferring value in a censorship resistant way is the best application for blockchain technology. People have tried to build blockchain based gaming and digital art certificates (NFTs) but despite all the hype these things remain very niche because there are already centralized options that work very well. Besides Bitcoin you could make an argument for DeFi but what we are mostly seeing are scams and useless tokens.
1132  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Polygon vs Solana. on: September 22, 2021, 05:09:47 AM
Solana has been getting the most buzz lately. A few months ago was the trending blockchain network. Solana has large institutional backing and this a major reason why they have been growing much faster than their competitors. I do agree that Solana is too centralized but this also enables them to have lower fees and faster speeds. DeFi users seem to prefer usability over decentralization so I expect Solana to continue to have an edge over Polygon.
1133  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: More women addicting problem in UK on: September 22, 2021, 02:45:29 AM
Anybody is susceptible to becoming addicted to gambling. It does not matter the gender. During the pandemic more people are staying home and they have more free time and many choose to spend that time doing online gambling. I've known women in my family who had an addiction and borrowed money thinking they could earn it all back only to suffer worse losses.
1134  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: September 21, 2021, 10:09:45 PM
Today was the first press conference and there was an altercation between the fighters. During this brawl Canelo was able to show his reflexes by avoiding Caleb's punch and landing his own shot that cut Plant's face. There is clearly some bad blood between these guys. If today was a preview of the actual fight then Plant could be in for a severe beatdown.
1135  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: September 21. HUGE dump! on: September 21, 2021, 03:57:30 AM
It's too soon to say if we are going into a bear season. I hope we are not. The price had been flat for a while after we had a few positive weeks and I was seeing many articles saying that bitcoin would go to $100k. China is such a large country that any negative news could be enough to swing the price in either direction. The Evergrande situation is causing some panic right now but an 8% loss is not really catastrophic or anything. I am optimistic that we can recover from this before the end of the week.
1136  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Casimero Bantamweight Unification Fight on: September 21, 2021, 02:44:41 AM
[snip]
~snip~
However, is there anyone who knows when is the final fight of Inoue and Manny Pacquiao? I think Manny will resign soon and he will perhaps continue his carrer.

Are there any reports about this?
Because the last time I checked they are in different weight class division. Inoue needs to increase his weight for up to 20 kilos, and that's too much for him. He'll probably lost a bit of speed, acuracy, and agility If he forces himself to climb at Pacquiao's weight class.
Pacquiao on the other hand won't risk reducing his weight. I mean he's old and lossing a weight might weakens his body conditioning.
So, I guess this fight won't happen.

It is obviously not going to happen. The weight difference is too large. Also, Pacquiao announced his retirement from boxing so I don't think we'll see him fight again even in an exhibition.

Inoue will likely fight Casimero next. I thought Nonito was an option also but the WBC has ordered him to fight somebody else. We have not had an update on negotiations in several weeks but hopefully they will get a deal done so we can see this highly anticipated bout.

Last time I cashed out my reward points was on June 15th. Today I am at 90,676 reward points. The time it takes me to reach 100k RP should be a little over 100 days.

That's quite fast, nice job! Such a quick rise again in RP due to the WOF; how many spins do you have daily? Are you also active on the gambling/betting part of the site?


I am getting 6 spins daily from being a premium member. I do gamble a little bit but my wagering volume is not very significant. One of the reasons why I was getting so many RP was from the deposit bonuses they had a few months ago where you would get 10 free spins per deposit.

Copper membership is equivalent to Jnr member and not member.

No, look at this:

Available paid memberships:

Copper - 0.00052935 BTC: Allows you to post images even if you are a newbie, reduces the time-between-actions limit, and provides some of the same benefits as being of natural Member rank.

It's the equivalent to natural member rank.

That says some of the same benefits, not all. It is up to each campaign manager to decide whether they will accept copper members and what rank they will accept them as. Some campaigns and bounties do not accept copper members at all.

I think that old users do just that,do not spend much on lottery tickets as they have spent a lot of time in the platform.If they did not win anything,even the lowest price level for 2-3 years it is only natural for them to not care much about the lottery tickets.I used to buy a lot of them but I don't do so,have switched them off in favor of Reward Points and I am happy like this.What bothers me is that I win a lot of lottery tickets from the WoF spins,every single day these last two weeks I have won at least 41 tickets (just today 410) from the daily spins which I don't like.

Same here, won a total of 9062 lottery tickets this week with the WOF. Would rather have received satoshis or RP but it is what it is. Maybe next week will be better and than hopefully I get to reach the 100k RP mark (currently at 94k RP).
Wow you're close to encash your reward points. How long did it takes before you reach that 94k rp? I only have over 2k rp and its been months since I started. I often get lottery tickets on my free spins and thats the reason why.

Last time I cashed out my reward points was on June 15th. Today I am at 90,676 reward points. The time it takes me to reach 100k RP should be a little over 100 days.
1140  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many BTC users actually care about privacy? on: September 18, 2021, 09:29:29 PM
Bitcoin users who care about privacy will just move towards more decentralized options. Before KYC was mandatory I used to use big exchanges like Coinbase and Binance but eventually those were no longer options. Selling BTC for fiat is not the only way of using Bitcoin. If you cannot use exchanges there are still some options for using Bitcoin privately. You can buy anonymous prepaid cards with Moon browser extension, you can buy items from many stores through Bitrefill, and there are also some services which accept Bitcoin directly. I have always been able to find some way to utilize Bitcoin without KYC and I am sure people will continue to design solutions where you are able to preserve some privacy.
