The mistake is thinking in BTC price. I have done it most of the time on the past and it has cost me.
I realise now the value marker has to be the same one as BTC which is $ or whatever.
We haven't moved much on that scale and BTC has risen, its pretty simple maths.
Its not sky caving in level is it 10$ down on a 20x asset.

Wow, I had no idea that Risto had thousands of BTC in interest arrears. So he pulled a Trendon Shavers when I thought that it was just all fun and games. He went mad and started promising all sorts of crazy interest to people he was defaulting. In the last few days he was advertising arbitrage opportunities, in his game currency, on the forum. Hopefully no one bit. The money wasn't all money people had put it, there was an element of trading and earning. Withdrawing was the ultimate issue.

Well maybe, and I suppose that's the point of healthy discussion.
A 51% attack might kind of become a 25.5% attack, but not if you used the anonymity powers to not let miners know which chain they were holding parts off.
I know it means you need a new kind of chain explorer that assembles everything from various clients. A bit more like torrents.
I am just some crazy guy with some ideas.

Received this email, not even sure if it's true as I stopped using Mintpal as soon as it started looking scammy which was pretty quickly after Moolah got a hold of it. Moolah was an obvious scan from the get go. Avon and Somerset Police Mintpal InvestigationDear Sir/Madam, Operation Sparrow is an ongoing UK fraud investigation into the activities of Moolah and its former CEO Ryan Kennedy, also known as Alex Green. The investigation focuses on Kennedy’s acquisition of Mintpal in 2014 and the subsequent disappearance and dispersal of customers’ funds from the exchange. Kennedy has been charged with a number of fraud offences in relation to these matters and is due to face trial at Bristol Crown Court. I am writing to you as you have been identified through your email address as a possible victim of this fraud and may have incurred a financial loss. You are one of almost fourteen thousand people that have been affected by this case so please accept my apologies that it is not practical for me to respond to individual queries at this time. I would urge you not to reply directly to this email, nor to phone Avon and Somerset Constabulary regarding the case. Updates will be published as and when available. At this stage of the investigation I am unable to confirm whether there will be any possibility of financial compensation. I should be grateful if you would take a few minutes to complete the attached survey that will assist us in identifying potential victims more quickly and efficiently. https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/8GSBZJP Please submit your completed questionnaire by 31st January 2018.

benfica vs Manchester united
Anderlecht vs Paris SG
Bayern munich vs Celtic
Qarabag FK vs Atletico Madrid
Barcelona vs olympiacos
Juventus vs sporting CP
I will try to take the team that I mark bold, I think it should all be able to win the game easily.
When I waking up and I saw my parlay only lost 1 team. really disappointed with atletico madrid I saw on a 75 minute Qarabag only playing with 10 players. It's really embarrassing as a team that has a lot more experience in Champions League. even atletico has only two points from three matches, this is very bad!!! What was the odds for above parlay bet? Indeed its frustating if you make a parlay but lose it just by one "sure win" match. I can say Atletico should be a sure win bet as they are bigger team than Qarabag even though they play as away team. Really unlucky Atletico, seems that they have a serious problem on Champions League this year. 2 points from 3 matches while they needs to compete with Chelsea and Roma will be a really hard work for Diego Simeone. They should win all the remaining matches if they want to go further. Same here this was the hole in my Acca I had athletico -1 Really could do with some wins

Bitcoin is quite weak in areas and cryptonote is completely different, not another faceless clone.
Monero was rescued and its fair comment to say has been well developed. Including addressing lots of the original flaws and limiting any scammyness that could have been inherited from the original project.

Btw, just checked all the group tables and noticed that most of the English clubs are doing well. And at this point they all look like they'll progress to the KO stages. I hope that happens, that would make for a more interesting season. Out of that 5 clubs, we could see at least two enter the final 8. If this happen then surely too much for English fans two English teams in Champions League final great is this happen before any update from any one about this He only said 2 in the final 8. However with a lot of teams doing well, who knows. Imagine a Manchester final. LOL. Europe would be pissed. I'm Chelsea though, for ref.

Just another day in you data is not safe land, here's one for all you guys who want to use android wallets and run your Linux boxes over WPA2. As a proof-of-concept we executed a key reinstallation attack against an Android smartphone. In this demonstration, the attacker is able to decrypt all data that the victim transmits. For an attacker this is easy to accomplish, because our key reinstallation attack is exceptionally devastating against Linux and Android 6.0 or higher. This is because Android and Linux can be tricked into (re)installing an all-zero encryption key (see below for more info). When attacking other devices, it is harder to decrypt all packets, although a large number of packets can nevertheless be decrypted. In any case, the following demonstration highlights the type of information that an attacker can obtain when performing key reinstallation attacks against protected Wi-Fi networks: https://www.krackattacks.com/Summary of the exploit is: its a man in the middle attack. They can smell your wireless network and then impersonate it on a different channel with a stronger signal. The vulnerable devices don't check properly to see if its still the same network. Then you are happily plugging away at your computer, believing you are on your usual network nothing to see here. Its the same reason I have never used public internet in café's etc., you never know what is the real hotspot and what is a guy with a powerful laptop.
