@mocacinno, you said: "sometimes it can take an hour before a valid block is found". Is one hour the maximum time between two blocks? What happens if no miner finds a valid hash in that time? If not, is there a maximum time that can elapse between two confirmed blocks?

No. The SHA 256 is one of the most common cryptographic hash functions out there, so you'll also see it in lots of applications and other algorithms in cryptography. It's a fast, one-way function, and it can not be reversed. This means that there is no way to recover the original message from its hash value. It's also very hard to modify the content of the message without completely changing its hash value. And, of course, its uniqueness makes it a perfect hashing algorithm for digital signatures.

Yes. Bitcoin isn't the only type of cryptocurrency out there. There are hundreds of other types of coins, some with features that may make them more desirable to certain users.

But, when compared to these the difference between Bitcoin and other coins are clear. Bitcoin is the flagship cryptocurrency. It is the first, most valuable and most well-known digital currency in the world. Many tried to become number one and failed.

I'm not sure if I should laugh or what, but this casino site seems like a joke. Sorry OP, but we've seen many sites here with the same script as yours and they are all either scams or just plain garbage. I'm not sure if you are new to this or what, but I really think you should reconsider your plans. There's nothing wrong with trying to make a casino site, but if you want people to take you seriously then some effort is required, and it seems like you're trying to make a quick buck here.

Can you show us proof of bankroll? Since you're new, please show us your signed message from an address with a decent amount of coins to prove that you do have funds to payout.

And you still haven't explained why your Terms of Service are identical to those of other casino sites? This is not a good thing because it suggests that you don't take your business seriously.

You cannot bet on a draw in R16 games on freebitco.in. You can only bet on the team that will win in the end.
This is the case throughout both the knockout rounds and the finals of the tournament.

Morocco 0-0 Spain (3-0 on pens)

A. Sabiri 121'
H. Ziyech 122'
A. Hakimi 126'

After a hard-fought 120 minutes of play, the score is tied and a penalty shootout determines which team will advance to the next round. Surprisingly, Spain are out of the World Cup! How is this possible? The Spanish team, who were favorites to win the tournament, had a string of bad luck in the penalty shootout. First, Sarabia missed his shot and then Soler's attempt was saved by Bounou. Then Busquets goes left, and Bounou is all over it again. Moroccan fans went wild as Hakimi scored his side's fourth penalty in a 3-0 win over Spain that sent them through to the quarters of the World Cup.

It would be unwise to count Croatia out just yet. These matches showed that Japan and Korea play at different levels.
Korea was one of the lucky teams to advance out of its group and play in a knockout round. If not for an unfortunate last-minute events, Uruguay would have been playing today instead.

On the other hand, Japan showed that it is a team to be reckoned with by beating two former world champions—Germany and Spain. So, it's not out of the question to think that Croatia could make it to the semifinals.

Full-time:
Brazil 4-1 Korea Republic

Vinícius Júnior7‎'      Paik Seung-Ho 76'
‎Neymar 13‎'
‎Richarlison 29‎'
‎Lucas Paquetá 36‎'‎

Brazil have won the match in a ruthless fashion, scoring 4 times while South Korea were able to score just once. The result sets up an exciting quarter-final matchup with Croatia vs. Brazil.

The only thing that the ECB seems to have concluded in this report is that, should bitcoin become a threat to their existence, they will fight it with everything they've got. This is a good example of how various central banks across the world are struggling to adapt to the changing financial landscape and how they continue to try and paint Bitcoin in as negative a light as possible. The ECB's report is nothing but an attempt at discrediting the cryptocurrency, and it doesn't take much reading between the lines to understand that they don't like competition.

Unfortunately for them, the facts have a bad habit of getting in the way of their rhetoric.

I believe that auto-correct can make our work easier by correcting spelling and generating words to help us finish our own sentences. I like the idea of saving time and not worrying about any spelling errors while having a conversation with someone. But I am sure that many people would like to have this feature in their own devices. Auto-correct can be annoying for people who are not used to it or do not want the feature at all.

Well, Croats certainly have experience in this from the last championship. Croatia was the ultimate surprise of the World Cup 2018. They played a total of 90 minutes in extra time during the tournament. Tthey played two penalty shootouts, and they won both the games. I think it could be the same here.

It depends on what people mean in the context of crypto. Crypto is not the same thing as Bitcoin.
But in my experience, most people don't know what crypto is, nor have they ever heard of it. This is not the case with Bitcoin.


Do you have proof of this?

Yeah! It's good that there are so many ways to keep up with the latest developments in crypto, but some of them might not be entirely accurate.

I'm a big fan of cryptocurrencies. I made my first bitcoin purchase years ago, and followed it up with many more success stories through the years despite bitcoin's rollercoaster ride. However, I also see plenty of well-meaning investors getting duped into falling for scams, ICOs that are total fads, and shady exchanges. Even worse, some people take tips from random mediums and lose money because they didn't double-check the information with trusted sources. You must do your own research to be sure that a news source or other advice isn't misleading.

The idea could be very successful, but you need the community to trust it first. I love your initiative to raise some funds for people but only if you can provide a service that is trustworthy and reliable. I'm not sure what the community would think about it, but I hope you get some traction!

There are literally hundreds of online casinos out there, spread across the internet in a maze of different affiliate sites and players' forums. Many casinos have been around for years, while others came and went before they could even be fully reviewed. In any case, there are simply too many to be able to keep track of, and many of them are simply not worth your time. Which means the best way to find the best online casino for your needs is to do some research and read reviews from reputable sources. But this is impossible if the casino does not have an online presence or a community on social networks and forums like this one. Just remember not to trust any single review site or player too heavily. It's up to you to research what kinds of things you should look for in a quality online casino - from design, quality of games, promotions, payouts and more - and then take those points into consideration when reading the reviews. It's important to remember that the best way to pick an online casino is to do your research. The internet is full of unreliable information and it can be hard to tell a safe bet from an online casino that you'll never hear from again. If an online casino wants your trust, they need to be more open and make more information available. Only then can you decide whether or not they're right for you.

You don't have to be online to run that code, in fact, you shouldn't run it online. It's best to copy the full webpage to external media (or download from github, as OmegaStarScream suggested) and run it on an air-gapped device.

If you generate a private/public key pair offline, then there is no chance that your keys will be archived on a server. Besides, the code is open source, meaning that anyone can analyze it and understand how it works and what it does.

OP, why did you stop at number 7? According to the source you linked, there are two more "rules" that you didn't mention:


I think you're right that there are some important things to consider when writing a title. However, I think the most important rule for submitting topics here is to make sure that your title clearly and accurately reflects the content of your post. If you're writing for a general audience, it is acceptable to be more creative with your title. But if you're writing for a more specialized audience, like scientific journals, then it makes sense to use more formal language.

Full-time:
Netherlands 3-1 USA

M. Depay 10‎'      H. Wright 76‎'
‎D. Blind 45‎+‎1‎'
D. Dumfries 81‎'

The Dutch team has knocked the USA out of the World Cup. The American dream is over.

The Netherlands is through to the quarter-finals. And they are the first team to do so. In a game that wasn't quite as close as the scoreline suggests, the Dutch outclassed their American opponents from start to finish. Although the USA were better on the possession of the ball and created more chances with as many as 17 attempts on goal, the Dutch outwitted and tactically outplayed the Americans and were ruthless in front of goal when they got their chances.

But why? Why should they get a chance? Have you read the thread and what other members have said so far? There is a lot of evidence that this is a shady business and people should stay far away from it. If they have evidence that shows the business is legit, then I would love to see it. But without solid proof, it looks pretty shady and I don’t think anyone should waste their time or money on this casino. But it's really up to you. If you want to give them a chance even after all these red flags, feel free to do so. But I would not recommend it. It looks like their only goal is to take people's money and run.

And as for "fixing" their site, they had plenty of opportunity to do that BEFORE they decided to promote it here. It's difficult to believe that their website just happens to look like a bunch of other scam gambling sites. Or that they accidentally copied the complete Terms of Service from Stake Casino - because it seems unlikely for two companies coming up with identical policies on their own, independently (basically zero chance). The AML policy is also illegal because LionSlots777 has never been licensed as either an online casino or registered company in any way shape or form. If they really cared about fixing their site, they would have done so a long time ago. And if they are legit and want to prove it, then I would love to see some proof of that.

So, I ask you again, why do you think they should get a chance? If you're going to defend shady sites like this one, then that's your choice. But if you're going to make a blanket statement, at least tell us what it's based on.

It's always like that in global competitions like the World Cup. There are always surprising results.
I will tell you one thing, if you want to make some money, always bet on the underdog!
