Homemade anniversary bitcointalk pizza!

Bitcointalk and pizza have a long history. Naturally, you can't have bitcointalk 10 years anniversary celebration without some pizza! I must admit that it took me quite a few tries, to find  the right cheese for letters  that won't melt too much  while cooking. In the end, Milner cheese proved to be best solution. But at least i had a lot of pizza in the last few days  Grin

As per my understanding, there will be only 1 prize of 1 bitcoin to the best submission. Am i right ?
Considering the numbers of responses received, would not it be better to have  0.01 BTC reward each for top 100 images ?



Quote
I will distribute at total of at least 1 BTC to the art submissions which I personally like the best, completely subjectively. I might give out more if there are a lot of good submissions.

From this it is obvious that more submissions will share at least 1 BTC, there won't be just 1 winner.

Regardless of what they offer, the end value is a token and likely will be worth a fraction of what they are advertising so it's likely that less than 20 users will even join the campaign.




Seems like you underestimated level of greed and lack of judgment of an average bounty hunter. Despite all those red flags, almost 50 people already joined signature campaign...

What is even worse, after bounty is over  they will expect that those tokens will worth all those thousands of dollars as promised, but of course that won't be the case. And then some of them will come here and cry how they have been scammed and whatnot.

In so many cases bounty hunters are as much as responsible as those that create these kind of bounty campaigns. If bounty hunters do their own due diligence and choose projects wisely, there would be way less shitty bounty campaigns.

Some woman contact me trough Instagram first time in September with some normal questions. Her profile says "Binary expert, bitcoin trader, forex trader" with the website link on the bio
Slowly her conversation was about investing in bitcoin and the returns that could give.

I am sorry to say but most likely you have been scammed.

First they contact you asking some personal questions like from where are you, what's your job etc, acting friendly, and then they slide the conversation towards investments.In some cases with similar scams they allow you to withdraw some small amount to gain your trust so you can invest even more, and they offer you referral bonus so you can invite your friends.
Also, it would be good idea to share their website and her Instagram profile link.

Rule of a thumb-if someone contacts you on any social media platform asking for investment, it is a scam.

To reduce injuries, NBA should seriously reconsider shortening regular part of the season. I know that money is always an issue, and owners and sponsors are worried that they would loose too much money, but what we have now when top players are dosing their playtime during regular season ain't fun either, so many games look like exhibition.  
And we all know that real stuff starts at playoff, so in the end we would have more interesting regular season, and healthier players in playoffs. Win-win situation.
There is no need to lower the NBA games. Why? It's because injury is always there to happen. What gives if we only low the stretches, yes NBA will lose money but these players are enjoying their jobs. They can get fame, money and happiness in one.

The only thing about injuries is to have a good physique. Just look at people that having injury most of the time. The unicorn, Kristaps Porzingis, he's injury prone. He's slim and he's big that's why he is injury prone. If you're big, the best thing to do is to build your body and put some weight to avoid injuries. Injuries are like accidents, it may happen all the time. Even during practices it may occur.

It is not just about injuries, it is about quality of games as well.

Have you seen some of those back to back games?They look almost as exhibition games. And there are bunch of games like that, where you can see that players are not even trying hard. And that hurts league way more than reducing number of games , in the long run.

There is another big  issue with this-lack of sleep due heavy schedule. ESPN has interesting report regarding that, it is worth checking
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/27767289/dirty-little-secret-everybody-knows-about

I don't say that reduction should be huge, but something like 10% cut would be perfectly feasible. And we would get more interesting and competitive regular season instead that exhibition show that we often can see.

A da li u celoj toj situaciji, ako si profeionalni dizejaner ili radis nesto na profesionalnom nivou, jel lako naci posao i ziveti?
Kao sto ste vec pomjenuli internet je cudo, ali da li ja bas mogu samo sedeti kući za svojim racunarom i baviti se sa nekim dizajnom naprimer i ziveti od toga.
Da te kampanje su sitnice koje donose malu kolicinu novca, ali opet se samo malo mucis, a pritom sedmicno leze na racun neka kolicina novca, sjajno zar ne?
 

Lako nije sigurno, ali ako si jako dobar i jako uporan, sigurno se da zaraditi, ali sad bas da bude full time posao, to vec malo teze, pogotovo mi u Europi. Na Filipinima i Indoneziji je prosjecna placa cca $150 mjesecno, tako da ces imati dosta konkurencije iz tih zemalja jugoistocne Azije+Indija, koji od ovog foruma mogu i ok zivjeti.
Najbitnije je krenuti, nemoj si odmah na pocetku dati zadatak da od ovog foruma stvoris neki posao.

Evo ja sam nedavno krenuo nakon godina lurkanja na ovom forumu, polako pisem, dizem rank pa mozda za godinu-dvije dodjem do toga da i zaradim neku ok lovu kroz signature kampanje, ali ne racunam na to, sta bude bude.

In the other news, Zion Williamson will sit out last preseason game  against NY Knicks due sore knee.He is only 19 yo, i hope that Pelicans won't push him too hard in his first season, you gotta be careful with these kind of players.

Whether he adjust his playing style or he loses weight. His knee will not be able to withstand the pressure of the regular season if he keeps playing the way he does with his current weight. I do not want to see him turn into a top pick bust just because of injury. I want to see his full potential and what he can bring to NBA.

Check this video on why Zion has a high risk of injury. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGRnMIRCtDU



Nice explanation but his style of play is what makes him popular and became the number 1 in the latest draft pick.
I am pretty sure the Pelicans already understands that and if he will not play its full potential the pelicans would not get the full service from him.
All the teams who get the number 1 pick has a high hope that it will take the team to the playoffs and will remain to be a contender, so limiting him might not help the purpose.

Makes no sense for Pelicans to push Zion hard right from the start. They can't do much anyway, why should they endanger potential franchise player?
Remember Greg Oden? He was picked before Durant, experts were comparing him with great bigs like Olajuwon and Shaq, and we know how that ended.
I don't say that Zion is in same danger as Oden had issues even before draft, but with those strong and muscled players you have to be extra careful.

This doesn't help your case at all. It just confirms  that you hired someone  with fake LinkedIn picture, you did no background check, and what is even worse, you included that person in your whitepaper.


I am now curious, who is an expert on Icobench? He gives rating 5 to Super8 team even if they impersonate in whitepaper person which hired to publish some news.
https://icobench.com/ico/super-8



Hah yeah, tells you everything you have to know about ICObench, ratings, and their "experts" . To give all three  5s to project with so many issues is beyond ridiculous. And from what i can see, they don't even care that they plagiarized DASH FAQ, i thought that they might remove  it, but nothing so far.

 But the most important thing is the condition of the company’s signature, 20 posts per day, which will definitely provoke spam on the forum.  Many users will be seduced by such a generous reward.
 

That rule might cause spam, but i don't think that quality posters will jump on this offer. It might mainly attract those spammers that were banned from Cryptotalk campaign.


But yeah, i agree that these numbers are completely off. After all, that 0.2 USD per OKU is their own valuation of the coin, and there is no way that it will keep the same price once listed, considering how easy they share 200K USD worth of coins for 4 weeks of signature campaign.

Talking about signing new contracts, Bradley Beal agrees to sign a 4-year 130M deal with the Washington Wizards. That's another big money for a player. This is the current trend for most players now, get paid well in your best years so that it's okay to get minimum when you want to chase a ring and join a championship team.

Washington Wizards don't have much options, after all he is their best player. I feel a bit sorry for them, few years ago they were promising team, but they really messed themselves up with that god awful John Wall contract and i don't see them sorting that anytime soon. And on top of that, John Wall will most likely miss whole 2019/2020 season.
Tough few years ahead of Wizards

Not a fan of Wizards , but Beal and Wall tandem is one of the good ones in the NBA. I dont know, but Im thinking they are lacking key players? Or they're running the same old rotations and style of game. I really thought they had a shot for the finals when they acquired Nene, still came up short.
Wall is suffering from raptured achilles, and Im pretty sure he will miss the entire season. Anyone in a sane mind will not get back to the game unless your a hundred percent fully recovered.

Beal and Wall alone can't take this team to a championship level, they are running the same rotation on vital players, of course if they want to improve they need to add another player that could help boost their line up.

Also, let's consider the fact that John Wall was injured and he might not be the same again in this season. With him healthy, he is really the heart of this team as he manage the ball very well as a point guard and that's when the other players are getting better, so we need to see him healthy and do what he do best in the team.


John Wall will almost certainly miss whole 2019/2020 season, as Washington Wizards won't risk and bring him back too early.

In the other news, Zion Williamson will sit out last preseason game  against NY Knicks due sore knee.He is only 19 yo, i hope that Pelicans won't push him too hard in his first season, you gotta be careful with these kind of players.

Buddy Hield was the only player not named Curry or Klay that had a high usage rate and had high three point attempts while still shooting on a decent %, he deserves every single penny he is given and should be maxed out no matter what the amount is, you can't give a guy like that too much money because he is still young and he is still learning a lot from playing and he is already good so it is only going to get better.
He deserved to be maxed out he's averaging 20+ points per game and he's really a good three pointer that is staying at 42% figures. And I want to point out the bold word, "young." I really think that he is already in his prime or very soon to reach it but I guess that he needs to stay in the team for like 5 years to be maxed out. Please correct me if I'm wrong but that's how I know it.

I think that max Sacramento can give him is 170/5 years, while other teams can offer him max 4 years for 130M. But from what i read, he doesn't even want max deal, he would settle for less than that, but only 90m/4 years is not good enough for elite 3 pts shooter  in  best years. Just to put things into perspective ,he is currently at 41.9%  average 3 pts shooting, and that makes him ranked 6th on list of best NBA 3pts shooter of all time (among players that had at least as many 3pts shot attempts as him).

It would be crazy from Sacramento not to give him those 110/4 years that he asked for, that is fair price for current market situation, as he can easily get more from others.

Kings have a good solid core as well so having Hield as the milestone of that roster would make a ton of difference for them, they will not be a contender for years unless something changes but he would be difference between a tanking for picks team versus a team that is looking to be a playoff team. Playoff teams make much more money as well so he deserves to get paid.

Yep, well said. Buddy Hield is 20 pts per game player, with 40%+ 3pts shooting on high usage, 25 yo, so he is entering into his best years. And those kind of players you will have to pay, if not you, someone else will gladly give him 110M/4 years. And somehow i doubt that Kings can attract some good free agents.
It would be smart to keep Bogdanovic too, he is also still developing.

Hah, it is nice to hear that there are still people playing Guild Wars 2, it is a nice game, but i don't think that it is free. At least it wasn't when i played.
I even preordered it and play for a few months after the release but I missed raiding too much so i went back to World of Warcraft.
7397  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: October 17, 2019, 01:06:27 PM

90M is a good price already. So many entitled players pushing their luck even though they haven't proven much yet. I wonder if the Kings' ticket sales is good enough for these players to demand more.

That aside, I haven't watch any of the Kings games since the time of C-Web, Mike Bibby, Vlade, Doug, Peja.

Yeah i agree that 90M is already a lot of money, but it is a sellers market, hence all those crazy salaries. Question is, can they get someone better at this position for that money in free agency, as Hield played really good last season, he is still young and developing...

The forum itself stand against bounty scammers that's why you see DT members willing to support flag or tagged accomplice of this scam against humanity because that's what this scammers are doing. They use the hunters as slave and once they have achieved their goals via marketing and publicity, they refused to pay their employees (bounty participants).
Tag or by supporting flags will not change anything. We are doing it just for mark them, they really don't care about tag when they are already skip with million. I am asking make sound against them, it's not only on this forum. Call them scammer on every platform that hunters were promoted. So almost it will be viral and they might not scam any new investors. At least we might prevent some traders. Because when traders will know about their scam history then they won't trade their coins. Hunters only could do that like before they have done promotion.

I've seen few telegram groups in the past that tried to organize bounty hunters to start some action against projects that refused to pay them or changed rules after bounty is over dramatically, but unfortunately seems like all of them failed to last a bit longer, or to gain significant amount of followers. As you said, few thousand of bounty hunters can really create a lot of buzz, so those projects would be less inclined to attempt such a thing.

With that being said, bounty hunters should be more vigilant when choosing which bounty campaign to enter, especially if you are doing something more demanding like signature campaign or content creation. I understand that those that are doing twitter/fb part  of the campaign don't really choose or check much, but others that invest significant amount of time should really be thorough, after all you are investing your time, and  for me time=money.

Sacramento Kings offered Buddy Hield 4 years/90M deal, but seems like he is looking for 4y/110M deal. Even tho those numbers are crazy, I think that Kings should give him those 110M, he is worth it. And on top of that, they offered Bogdan Bogdanovic 4 y/51.4M, but allegedly he is considering to wait and test his luck in free agency.

I really hope they keep both of those players, Kings were interesting team to watch.
