Lara already won the first fight decisively. A third fight is not really necessary at this moment. Lara will probably have to fight a mandatory sometime in the near future. If Warrington wants a rematch then he should work his way into becoming a mandatory challenger.

Valdez will be on probation with the WBC but it still leaves a bad taste knowing there wasn't a stricter punishment. Now we are in a situation where they have to be consistent and some level of PED use will be tolerated if you can find a loophole in WADA's rules and cycle off before you are considered "in competition".

Great question. There are many reasons to use 0xMR, first, the token supply is very limited. Most casinos use their own native token, which there are millions or billions of that they created out of thin air. By using 0xMR we let everyone have a fair shot at mining or buying mined 0xMR on the market to play with. If you read the 0xMR whitepaper you will see that it does have some privacy features but it's main usecase is casinos and payment for mixing. Monero has a lot of problems, especially since it's founder was arrested for fraud, and we don't want to risk adding a coin to the casino that will likely decrease significantly in value.


Fluffypony is not Monero's founder. Their creator is still anonymous. If Monero has a lot of problems then that would reflect negatively on 0xMonero because they copied the name name and logo.

Strike only requires the receiver to be KYC'd but anybody can send them BTC from any wallet that supports Lightning Network. I don't know why it would be necessary for the sender to go through KYC. I don't want to have to be asked for ID when supporting a charity or even for personal transactions where I send money to friends. Bitcoin is designed to be permissionless so if they add all these requirements then it would be a huge disappointment and it will keep many people excluded from their payment platform.

Stablecoins are still very popular on Tron and seem to make up much of the volume. Besides that I would agree that they have mostly flopped. BTT had a lot of hype but it seems most people have forgotten about it. Justin Sun's main focus seems to be elsewhere. Tron smart contracts are written in Solidity which is something that developers of other blockchains are familiar with but for whatever reason they are not able to attract many interesting projects to build on Tron.

I don't know why anybody would want to use 0xmr. It is not a real privacy coin, it is just a standard ERC-20 token. Why not use actual Monero if you wanted to build a privacy oriented casino? Using this token will just burden users with unnecessary fees also. I guess people can use Bitcoin but the point of using altcoins is to avoid Bitcoin's fees so it just doesn't make any sense to be using 0xmr.
1187  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is NFT a Future of Crypto? on: September 03, 2021, 02:23:01 AM
I've been saying that NFTs are just a fad but currently we have seen them have tremendous value in the market. According to Chainalysis a majority of the volume is from institutional investors. People are in this to make a profit not because they appreciate art. It's great that artists are able to make money but I don't know if there is a level of interest for this to gain mainstream adoption.

The PPV did not sell well. It reportedly had 250,000 buys. There is not much interest in seeing a rematch because there was a clear winner so the buys would be even worse if they had a second fight. Unless Pacquiao agrees to have a significantly reduced purse, I don't see them doing this fight again. The promoter will probably try to make Ugas vs. Spence next and then hopefully the winner of that fight will fight the winner of Crawford vs. Porter and we can have an undisputed champion.
1189  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is the Difference Between Farming & Staking? on: September 02, 2021, 04:32:00 AM
I always have thought of it as the same, so I did a quick Google on this to find out the differences in general. We are comparing Yield Farming to Staking.

- Yield farming or liquidity mining, you temporarily lend crypto assets in a permissionless way.
- Staking is you lock up assets and act as a node, and there you confirm blocks in the blockchain.

Yield farming has higher risks but has bigger APY, while Staking has lower APY and has lock time.

I guess that's where you can compare the two. For a better investment, it depends on the money you are going to use. Is it going to be set aside and not needed right away? Or something that you need to liquidate right away? I think that's the better question.




You're describing proof of stake but there is also a different kind of staking. You can stake coins by locking them in a smart contract. For example Pancakeswap has Syrup Pools where you stake CAKE and earn more CAKE or other coins. The benefit of staking is that there is no risk of impermanent loss but your returns will diminish over time. Other decentralized exchanges have their own equivalent to syrup pools.

to be honest, we're not happy for issues with this captcha too. We are looking for the best option. But the best option is to do it yourself. I forward your comment to the development department

There is another casino that uses hCaptcha and it is not so difficult to solve because they upgraded to the enterprise version. It usually only takes me one click to pass the test and claim my reward.
1191  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Can a transaction be bigger than a block. on: September 01, 2021, 10:38:27 PM
You could create a transaction that is bigger but it would be rejected by nodes and never even end up in the mempool. If somebody tried to mine it their block would be invalid and they would end up forking themselves off the network.
1192  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley on: September 01, 2021, 06:00:55 AM
Jake Paul is now claiming that he is retired from boxing. I'm not sure I take him seriously but if he is telling the truth then I hope this is the last we will see of these freak show fights. He has made more than enough money to retire comfortably and now he can focus on more serious business endeavors.

Hehehe this only implies that his talent fee is going up. He is a promoter’s dream and he has potential challengers who are retired MMA fighters or retired athletes from other sports who have a name but in need of money. Tyron an Ben were 2 of them. Also include the retired basketball player hehe.

He already announced today that he is coming out of retirement. So it was all just a publicity stunt and the circus will continue. Your probably right about what type of opponent he is seeking for his next fight. After almost getting dropped by Woodley there is no chance he fights a real boxer unless it's somebody as inexperienced like Tommy Fury.

It's been 2 days after the fight so I will close the thread and someone can open a new one when the next opponent is determined.

P/S: It's not Photoshopped btw.


Promise is a promise right, I guess you have to win something now though it might be just 1 sat.    I dont see that particular banner but the normal show for my number of weekly lottery tickets is showing me the usual zero point very lows odds as expected because I dont have that many.


This is from the promotional email. I received it also and it said my odds are 99.99940951% for the lottery and my odds for winning the lambo are 0.11111111% with only 1 ticket.
1194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Oscar Valdez vs Robson Conceicao - Sept 10th on: September 01, 2021, 04:22:03 AM

Yeah, but it could be used as a masking agent, to hide other peds in your system.

Quote
Oscar Valdez has failed a VADA test ahead of his planned Sept. 10 fight against Robson Conceicao, with Mike Coppinger reporting that the WBC junior lightweight titlist tested positive for a diuretic.

While diuretics are not steroids, they are familiar to the boxing world and to failed drug tests in the boxing world, as they can help fighters shed weight quickly ahead of a bout. But the biggest worry about them is they can be used as a masking agent for other substances, stuff more routinely thought of when people think of failed drug tests.

https://www.badlefthook.com/2021/8/31/22651015/oscar-valdez-tests-positive-banned-diuretic-next-fight-conceicao-boxing-news-2021

I also can't believed that Valdez and or his team did take the risk of taking this banned substance because they will be caught specially the stringent drug testing is being implement not just in boxing but across other sports.

The initial report of it being a diuretic is incorrect. Phentermine is not a diuretic but it is similar because it helps with losing weight rapidly. The difference is that one kind or drug suppresses your appetite and gives you more energy by stimulating the nervous system and the other kind causes you to produce more urine. Phentermine is only used for medical purposes to treat obesity so it is not something that should not be abused by athletes.
1195  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Oscar Valdez vs Robson Conceicao - Sept 10th on: September 01, 2021, 01:21:55 AM
It is looking likely that this fight will get cancelled. Valdez tested positive for the stimulant phentermine. It was out of competition so the local boxing commission doesn't necessarily have to suspend him but he will probably lose his world title since he is being tested as part of the WBC Clean Boxing Program.

Valdez is using the excuse that the substance was in an herbal tea and he took it unknowingly. That is an incredibly weak excuse so it is likely he was using it for something prohibited. In my opinion he should be stripped of the world title and suspended for the next six months.

I think this is a better path. Masternode coins were popular a few years ago but they usually require expensive equipment and you also need a large amount of capital to stake as collateral. Your ROI will not be that great. Nowadays there are many coins which you can stake in a smart contract and earn passive income through this. CAKE currently has close to 90% APY on PancakeSwap but you can get even better returns through yield optimizers or with leveraged yield farming.

It seems like without rain and tips people are not motivated to chat. If they add these features then you will see more people participating but you will also an increase in low-quality comments from people who are just hoping to catch some rain.

1199  Other / Off-topic / Re: The WBA is reducing the number of tittle holders. on: August 30, 2021, 05:36:24 AM
They have reduced the amount of world champions from 3 to 2 in each weight class, which is still way too many champions. They really do not deserve any credit for this move because they are only trying to clean up a mess that they made. They have ruined their reputation and the credibility of the sport with this nonsense. They were only concerned about the money and would give a belt to anybody willing to pay a sanctioning fee. Boxing commissions in countries where boxing is popular should have already stopped recognizing secondary world titles and refused to sanction any fight where one of these belts was at stake.
1200  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley on: August 30, 2021, 05:10:43 AM
Woodley's technique was awful and Jake Paul's wasn't much better. Paul did enough to win but he showed a lot of flaws. He did not have much defense. His hands were down the entire time. He also doesn't have great stamina. This was his first time going past the second round as a pro fighter and he seemed out of breath halfway through the match.

I expect Paul to keep fighting these overhyped tomato cans until somebody manages to land a lucky punch and knock him out. He is making too much money that there is no need for him to fight a credible opponent.
