501  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Why trust electrum? on: October 11, 2023, 03:04:31 PM
Electrum has been around for a long term and is open source.
Open source does not automatically make a wallet is a good one. You can have an open source wallet with many issues in security. It is not a quality mark for a wallet.

It is not about longevity but how you deal with vulnerability, they were wallets that started well as open source and today they are not much recommended, because they didn’t deal with the vulnerability well.
Verifying digital signature of a wallet reduces risk for a user and a longevity of a wallet can be one of factors for its quality and survival ability in this vulnerable space. Electrum wallet has a good longevity and get good feedback from communities too.

I don't think it's a problem for an Average Joe to trust Electrum without need to dig deeper because not everyone able to read code.
Newbies don't have to read code because Electrum wallet is open source and is here long enough. There are many developer experts who can read code of Electrum wallet software and make their insights if something bad in the code.

Newbies can trust those expert reviews as well as good long history of Electrum wallet. But one thing they must do by themselves, verify the wallet with digital signature before using. They must do it by themselves because no experts can save newbies if newbies download fake Electrum wallet software and use it. When they fall to fake wallets, their bitcoin will be stolen but it is not fault of Electrum wallet developers or any expert in the Bitcoin community.

This is just can you believe these figures?

Gen Z dominates crypto copy trading space. It says 93% of futures traders and 82% of spot traders make profit with copy trading.

Can you believe it because those figures are simply too good to be true?

It is opposite with what we know about successful rate in trading when 90% of traders fail and lose money. Logically, given numbers of successful copy-trading traders are like sponsored numbers by exchanges and I can not trust them.

Every game has its own fans base, so having both original games and 3rd party games will be better for a gambling business than having one of them only.
Of course having both original and 3rd party games is not enough because the competition in the gambling industry is getting tougher every year so casinos should also provide many other things that can attract players to stay as long as possible.
Building own games is not easy because it relates to provably fairness, security issues too. It's must be built very carefully to avoid security holes that can be exploited by cheaters.

Third party games from big and famous game providers can help a casino to quickly get customers. Because gamblers do not only play games like gamers but also have to balance between cost they spend for playing and earning they receive through playing. So they will aim at familiar games first and games from famous providers are certainly familiar with many gamblers.

I have other accounts with gambling, casino and all that with also a faucet, I wouldnt state this is a unique situation exactly.  However FBC is one of the most established long term and as far as I can remember the only site where its not so defined by loyalty faucet but purely just turn up every hour and you can collect something.
Freebitco.in is one of oldest cryptocurrency gambling websites and they host one of oldest Bitcoin faucets too.

Many old Bitcoin faucets stopped their operations but Freebitco.in's faucet is still here.

it's the archive of First Bitcoin faucet runs by Gavin Andresen. Back in that time of Gavin Andresen's faucet, one person can claim 5 BTC each time.

The interesting thing is similarity in domain names of that faucet and this gambling platform.
http://freebitcoins.appspot.com/ is somewhat similar to freebitco.in
506  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What are the advantages of trading BTC pair? on: October 10, 2023, 02:00:16 AM
I want to know why there are so many pairs available to trade on exchanges.
People want it and exchanges have to satisfy their customers by deploying more trading pairs. It can be requested from projects that pay listing fees for centralized exchanges too.

Quote
Does trading with a bitcoin pair help us save fees in any way?
To save trading fee on centralized exchanges, you usually have to own their exchange native tokens to get discount in trading fee. Or you have to climb up higher in their exchange VIP level to have lower trading fee for higher VIP account.

By trading with Bitcoin trading pair, you won't get any reduction in trading fee. I don't see it on any centralized exchange.

FUD is one of terms that is commonly used in cryptocurrency.

Terminology.
Crypto Glossary.

In this market, you have to face with FUD daily and its intensity of appearance on media is just more or less than usual intensity. In bear market, you will have more fud than in bull market.

In bear market, you will have more fud and callings like "Bitcoin is dead".

With time, Bitcoin has become stronger and with your own time and experience in this market, you will be less affected by FUD.
508  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Before and after bull run. on: October 09, 2023, 01:25:00 AM
Before and after bull run , please keep in touch with your relatives who are into bitcoins/Cryptocurrency.

Keep in touch with your family and friends before and after bull run, the happiness of profit can also drive one crazy which can make one do something unreasonable such as getting drunk, driving recklessly and many more.  To those who will see this thread, please keep this words in mind.
When they have money for investment, I assume they already have jobs and are matured enough to control themselves. You can not control a matured person and you don't have rights to do this. Even their parents can not do this on their matured boys and daughters so don't feel like you can do this.

When people are too optimistic or pessimistic, they can become uncontrollable and undisciplined with their actions so that they can gain some unwanted results. If you try to keep in touch with your family members, it is good but you can not save them all times. Anyway, paying attention on them is better than don't do that.

If you want to help them, you have to tell them
- When you have profit, try to save your capital first. They can use profit to buy things, enjoy life or reinvest it but initial capital should be saved.
- When you have loss, tell them that it's not the end of the world. Opportunities will come later but they must be calm and smart.

Tell them to not touch altcoins because they will lose money to altcoins.
509  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: October 09, 2023, 01:18:20 AM
The change of coach experienced by Napoli giving an impact on their performance this season. A coach and players must adapt to the new strategy that was solidly built last season. This must be the reason why Napoli is experiencing negative results recently. if Napoli don't have any targets because they feel satisfied after winning last season, I think this is an unreasonable reason.
It is not biggest reason for their worse performance. In fact, Napoli shown that they played worse in the second half of last season when Kravatskhelia was controlled better by defenders in Serie A. This season shows that the attacking player will get more attention and more better preparation from Serie A defenders to cope with him so he will have to upgrade himself to play well.

So far, Kravatskhelia is struggling to upgrade himself so no surprise to see his performance become worse. It together with worse performance of Osimhen and the transfer of Kim Min-jae to Bayern Munich in the summer, makes Napoli become actually a weaker team in the past season. The coach change surely has its impact but I don't believe it is the only or biggest reason for Napoli performance so far.

3-1 for Fiorentina.
Napoli destroyed!

Rudi Garcia will not stay too long if he continues like this it will not last until Xmas.
Fiorentina are an interesting team even they sold Vlahovic and Amrabat to Juventus and Manchester United. In the past season, they are one of three Italian clubs went to final matches in Europe. They failed in a Conference League final match but continue to play well in this season. I did not expect Fiorentina to play well like this because Amrabat is an important player for them and I thought without Amrabat, Fiorentina will become weaker but I am wrong.

This defeat kills a lot of confidence in Napoli that they can defend their Scudetto successfully. It seems it's a hard task for them and they will not complete it well in this season.

I don't like swap between coins because conversion fee is usually more expensive than trading .

kycnot.me is well known as a good website for information, review about non-KYC exchanges and many of them have swap feature too. However, the website is slowly with information update recent months. You must check information on exchanges after getting basic from kycnot.me website.

No-KYC exchange encyclopedia focuses on centralized exchanges but some have swap feature as well.

A highly talented team has built Sherbet over the last two years. Everything you see is custom, and the only scripts/APIs we use from third parties are for games.
Building up a service that going through a bear market well and continuing to thrive more in a highly competitive gambling industry is very good evidence for the team behind Sherbet. Not only this, I see Sherbet team successfully to make business deals with many great and trusted game providers that bring many hot and favorite games to Sherbet users.

Above is about product developments but the Sherbet team and their business have also gained good reputation in Bitcointalk last two years. With this reputation, they already have a good foundation for the business and can continue to boost up their platform growth in future more sharply.
512  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Advice to friend for financial improvement. on: October 08, 2023, 09:25:02 AM
I've noticed a topic in the Bitcoin discussion. I was encouraged by reading the Topic, I thought if anyone would benefit financially from me. Instead of buying an iPhone, if one invests in Bitcoin, his future will be bright.
Different people have different interests and needs. If you love luxury stuffs, you won't stop to buy them because your life looks more boring at least in your thinking, without those luxury stuffs.

In addition, iPhone can be a luxury stuff with me or you but with some people, it's not kind of luxury thing as they are rich enough to buy one iPhone. They even can use money to invest in Bitcoin but still can manage to buy an iPhone. If they can do it, it's not financially wrong by buying an iPhone to use and enjoy life.

Your advise is true if a person is poor but want to make a loan for buying an iPhone. It is true with those people, they are doing something bad and very unnecessary spending in their life while they can use the same money for more important stuffs. Learning a course to improve their skills to have better jobs, become more competitive when applying for a job. Using it for investment like in Bitcoin. Using that money for emergency. All those spending types are more meaningful and helpful for them than an iPhone.

if one invests in Bitcoin, his future will be bright.
Buying bitcoin is not enough. The rest must be holding it in a safe and secure wallet because if you lose bitcoin after buying it a few days, it's won't help you to get richer or have a brighter future.

Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts.
513  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin can change lives on: October 08, 2023, 09:18:18 AM
Bitcoin can't change lives. A wealthy person isn't rich because their investment went 10x within a year. Their mindset is what defines their wealth. If your ideal life is to chill, go out for clubbing in the weekend, get high etc., then you're not going to be wealthy just because you happened to buy the dip. It requires to focus and acquire skill, and in my experience, it requires you to embrace responsibilities.
Bitcoin can help a person richer but can not bring wealth and prosperity to the person sustainably. Because to have sustainable wealth and prosperity, there are many things to do with your assets, capital management and risk management as well as how you spend your money after getting richer with Bitcoin.

Like star athletics who can earn massive money when they were young but after their career retirement, many of them have very bad finance. It is because they overspent in the past, maintained that bad spending habit and when they have less income after retirement, their finance will be at verge of nightmare.

Quote
Bitcoin is good as long as you're working on what you love and doing it with passion.
Passion to learn basic, securing your wallet and bitcoin (don't use custodial wallet, online accounts for storing bitcoin), and using bitcoin for money transfer on Bitcoin blockchain are very good basic practice to love bitcoin more with time.

In the mean time, if we can hold our bitcoin, we can enjoy its value growth.

514  Other / Meta / Re: Can I stake multiple BTC address? on: October 07, 2023, 03:47:29 PM
I was wondering if I could stake multiple BTC addresses on Bitcointalk! We all know that, in case our account gets compromised or hacked, we can use our stacked BTC address to sign a message to show that I am the real owner of the account in order to recover the account.
Signing a Bitcoin message is only one of proof for your account ownership but it is not the only proof and is not enough if you only have it to prove you are a real owner of one account.

Forum admins and global moderators can request you more evidence. Because if you store everything in one device, in one file like forum account password, wallet password ..., hackers can access to everything you have. So a signed message is not enough.

Reminder: Bitcoin whales are people with huge amounts of money, they're not people who have magic crystal balls. You people really need to stop over-glorifying whales as if they never get things wrong from time to time and that they have total control over markets.
Bitcoin whales can do their games and manipulations but they can succeed or fail because they are Bitcoin whales and are almost nothing in other aspects of society, nation and the globe. Their manipulations will be affected by governments, central banks and many issues from geo-politics, global financial, economic status.

Bitcoin whales even have to fearful that their manipulations will fail but they are long term so if they fail this year, next year, they will sit back, relax and come back with new manipulative strategies. They are well but speculators will have more difficulties to keep their capital safely when their speculation is not like how market actually moves.

Bitcoin whales have many different plans, A, B, C or more but speculators usually only have plan A.

Liverpool did not have an easy match but eventually Diogo Jota scored a second goal from a counter attack and helped them to secure a win in Europa League. They still shown some weakness in defense and if opponents are stronger team, they can exploit Liverpool's defensive weakness to have goals.

Darwin Nunez still shown he does not have enough sensitive touches for his finish. As a main striker of Liverpool, he must sharpen one-touch skills better to reduce his opportunity wasting rate.

The Kop just made their job in Europa League done and now it's time for them to return to Premier League and continue the race with Manchester City. They are 1 points less than Arsenal, Tottenham and 2 points less than Manchester City. A next match day in Premier League can give us some big changes in rankings of top four and even clubs in top four temporarily can be taken over by other clubs from 5th to 7th positions.
517  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I choose Bitcoin on: October 06, 2023, 01:36:47 AM
Yep, I get what you are saying. That fixed deposit scheme does sound tempting with that 13% interest, but if your local currency is taking a nosedive due to bad economy and inflation, then what's the point, right? Unfortunately there are people that doesn't understand this and basic economy. They are the ones that falls victim to this kind of "scheme" (but yeah, 13% sounds a lot..). So yeah, bitcoin and other crypto currencies seems to be a better option, but don't forget about the risk involved. Bitcoin investment is for long term investment. It is extremely volatile. You might end up having less than what you invested when you might need the money. So it is better to spread out all the investment instead of investing and saving everything in Bitcoin.
I don't say same things about future of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies (altcoins). Bitcoin is unique and strong with no more than 21 million of bitcoins in total supply. How about altcoins?

There total supplies for Mintable tokens can be unlimited. Developers can mint and issue more tokens to total supplies and create massive inflation that will kill altcoin prices on market. Altcoin developers usually create their projects by market trends and when trends gone, they abandon their projects.

Altcoins look promising with chance to multiply your capital but risk to lose all your capital is big too. If you are a careful person who prioritize your capital safety, you will not choose altcoins, but pick Bitcoin instead.

By downloading a Bitcoin blockchain, I mean syncing your wallet with Bitcoin blockchain, you don't make any Bitcoin fork.

If you want to fork a Proof of Work coin, you must have miners to do mining on that shorter chain. If no miner, no hashrate, that shorter or shortest chain will be a dead one.

519  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: October 05, 2023, 02:07:21 AM
Final scores 4-1 between the match Newcastle vs PSG is very unpredictable result even before that match begin most people predict PSG will be able to overcomes Newcastle but in fact Newcastle has displayed fantastic performance and playing with very aggressive even with only 26% ball possessions Newcastle can able to scores 4 goals which is Newcastle playing with very affective and their players didn't wasted every chances to scores and on that match PSG has been showing poor defense even the goal from Almirón is pure from PSG players mistakes and now surprisingly Newcastle can occupy first place and this result also makes Newcastle have good chances to qualified to the next round which is they never done this before
Again, Marquinhos opened a bad match for PSG. How many times he made mistakes that open or contribute to PSG defeats in Champions League?

In a first conceded goal of PSG, Marquinhos can simply kick the ball strongly as far as possible from his team box but he chose to make a risky pass and gave an opportunity to Newcastle United. Not only this, in other conceded goals, PSG defensive system works very bad and their players did not seriously chased the ball and did not try to close dangerous space in front of their box. A second goal is like a joke for Donnaruma, he made some good saves but not enough because PSG defenders can not support him too well.

This defeat will put PSG at risk to be deranked to Europa League and this group becomes more exciting and more unpredictable after two match days. It's big surprise to see Newcastle United now stands on top of the group.

By multichain, you already have many Wrapped Bitcoin tokens but remember they are altcoin tokens, not bitcoin.

By multichain, you will need to use cryptocurrency bridges that are known as favorite targets by hackers.

Bitcoin, Proof of Work, blockchain is strong, decentralized and you will be safe by using Bitcoin blockchain. It is hard and not beneficial to do 51% attacks on Bitcoin network. In contrast, it is unsafe to use cryptocurrency bridges.
