What new changes would you like to see on Bitcointalk in 2024 ? I'd like to see less useless topics, if you catch my drift. LOL. Then you have to write a script that will loop into users post, examine the quality of the post before it will be delivered to the forum. Maybe, there will be some word filters and if a post doesn't carry those words, it will mean that the post is more useless and may never be auto approved. If this works, the place of the freedom you champion will be lost. The forum is more complete and fun when there is a mixture of useful and useless posts. |

I can't imagine Arsenal losing this match. I thought I was going to see Arsenal win. Arsenal players tried a lot to score. The entire match was dominated by Arsenal players, but they failed to win. Arsenal players had 74% of the ball possession. They made 30 shots in the whole match. Arsenal played completely attacking. They cannot keep their defense strong. West Ham attacked very little. But Arsenal's players failed to resist West Ham's counterattacks. And this is why they are defeated. Coach Arteta needs to strengthen his defense. Otherwise, it will not be possible for Arsenal to win the title.
Arsenal match against West Ham illustrated how cornered Arteta troops were, who couldn't do much to equalize until the final minute. Even though Arsenal launched around 30 shots and none of them scored a single goal. Initially I also thought that Arsenal would get 3 points because this match was quite important to win, but unfortunately Arsenal defense seemed to have seen gaps in the West Ham players. The first goal reminded me of Japan goal in the world cup if I'm not mistaken against Germany. In fact, Arteta was too focused on attacking and didn't anticipate counter attacks, that's the only thing that made this match Arteta unable to control and West Ham had a goalkeeper who was on fire and made several pins. There is one thing about football and that is history. No matter how good a club is presently, at a time, they are influenced by history and the club pattern of football. We have witnessed many matches that Arsenal dominate and in the end they were unable to get a goal. Honestly, Arsenal needed to win the match against West Ham United. They needed the win to seal their confidence that at the half of the season match, they were at the top of the table. We have known Arsenal as a club that can easily give up their first position to another club when they are slightly pressured. That is why I am not very surprised. I am more confident seeing Liverpool at the top more than seeing Arsenal at the top. |

Very incredible night for Brighton as the club is leading Tottenham Hotspur with 2 goals just within the first 28 minutes into the game, although the match time is still good and if tottenham team are able to make any equalization but as it stands, their chances for such possibilities is very slim and Brighton won't be giving them that chance.
Many of the time, we have seen how such matches that start in this nature end up favouring the losing team innthe early minutes, because Brighton players may slack and believe the match is already in their favour, but then until the 99 minutes are over, no one can declare a game as over.
I would say that I am surprised about Brighton's performance tonight against Tottenham. Although the match is still on and the both teams will soon head to have 15mins rest for the second half. Where my surprises lie is that, Brighton has just won 1 out of their last 5 matches while Totenham has won their last 3 consecutive matches. People were expecting Tottenham to consolidate on their winnings. @Odusko, talking about Tottenham coming from behind to win Brighton, I don't think it is an easy task. It is Manchester city that does that easily and the one done by Manchester United last match. It is not something easy to do. One goal is understandable, but two is hard to equalise and win. |

I am a newbie (Beginner) on this forum... Surprisingly  , anytime I mention newbie, I get attacked like Newbies are scums and shouldn't be here in the first place.... I got frustrated at first from the kind of responses on my post and I took a break from the site, after all I am not unemployed.... I have a seven digit paying Job I love so much... The reason I am on this forum is passive, though I want to learn more about Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency. Consequently, along the line I understood that commenting and attacking people's posts on this platform is part of the reason some people grow faster here. I gradually understood that the dynamics of this forum is that it's compulsory for members to post something daily and what you post do not have to consider what/how others feel about what is said to them.... Some Members just want to have points and remain active on the forum... I wonder if the Professionals here weren't once newbies... Nobody is an expert in life and on this forum.... The last time I asked, I was told that an a professional or an expert is someone who has learned less and less about more and more until he has known everything about nothing.... We are all here to learn and maybe earn along the way... Stop the belittling of Newbies on this forum. Make your points on people's posts constructively and with respect. I had to quote the whole wall of text because you made alot of sense. I know that frustration that newbies have when attacked by established members. Every newbie had their own taste of the cake. It is a bitter cake that every genuine newbie doesn't know how to escape. Any newbie who probably do not complain about the harshness of the forum, could be an alt account. I wonder why you should quit the forum because of the behaviour of people you don't know in person. Do not allow random people hiding behind the screen to ruin your stay in this wonderful forum. Calling me a Scammer or suspecting that I am a scammer because I am a newbie here is a very big accusation that is hard for me to take..... Please is it possible for me to show my real name and identity to you here? If it's not against the rules then I can drop my LinkedIn, Facebook and other Social media link here so you can know that I am not a Scam but someone you should respect on a norm.
This platform is kind of becoming toxic to me.... I guess I will take my leave... Must people behave disrespectful to earn points???
In the online environment, it is correct to treat everyone as scammers unless they prove otherwise. What is not right is calling the person a scammer when it is not proven. I have read where you declared your sincerity. Just be true to yourself and develop a think skin. |

Re: Why people should be using SegWit addresses
The whole essence of Segwit addresses is now very much appreciated in the forum because of the mempool congestion. If you look around, some campaigns which were only accepting legacy addresses have shifted and has begun to require only Segwit addresses. It is now I have understood and appreciated the essence of this topic. Well done @1maiu. |

No gambler can realize it properly until the loss. To bet on the addiction of profit leads to the destruction of life. That hurts family relationships. It is very sad that negative attitudes are created in relationships. Gambling should be stopped before it can affect the relationship. Gambling requires skill but is not effective everywhere. Some are succeeding while others continue until the damage is done.
Yeah until the damage is done  It looks like you are well experienced in the things concerning gambling and how you have some wins and you decide to increase your stake then come the crashing and that has broken many homes. When money comes in through gambling, every one is happy but if the losses come and the home becomes impecunious then it creates problem between spouse when financial obligations begin to stare in the face. There is no doubt that the gambling is capable to raise the financial status of the home when the winning is coming and also can pull the family resources down when there is losses but the weight of losses is greater than winnings. One thing about winning and losing in gambling is that the excitement of winning supersedes the agony of losing. What do I mean in essence, can be lossing almost everyday and when you check the accumulative losses it will amount to a very high money but whenever they manage to get one win, the excitement of that winning will make them forget all their accumulative losses. Relating this to relationship, if someone is always on the winning streak his spouse will be happy and the relationship will be in a good shape, no one will complain. But immediately loses continue and money no longer flow in the family that is when people will understand the negative effect of gambling and blame everything and the gambler. This is the reason why every gambler needs to be financially conscious and spend according to their budget. |

Even though they were playing without Haaland, Manchester City were still able to perform quite well and in today match they managed to beat Everton with score of 1 - 3. This victory made Manchester City get the full 3 points and slowly they managed to catch up and narrow the gap in the standings. It was pretty good game and Manchester City really dominated the game from the start of the match. I got decent odd for the team that is seeded and the favorite. This is an impressive victory that Manchester City gave us all.  When Manchester City was one goal behind at the start of the match, I was quite scared. In just 29 minutes, Everton's young player Jack Harrison made a powerful attack and touched the ball in the Manchester City goal post. At that time, many questions arose in the minds of every lover of Manchester City, this time if Haaland was on the field for Manchester City, then this goal would not have been possible. And until half-time Manchester City were unable to score any goals but the attack was rampant.And later Manchester City roared back to their former form and managed to score 3 goals in a row. And at the end of the match Manchester City gained three points which occupied the fourth place in the points table. It was a wonderful display of football by Manchester City yesterday. So much troubled that Manchester City will lose the match even when Everton was leading in the first half. I have known Manchester City to be a club that will come back from losing and win easily only if you score your goals early enough maybe in the first half. Any team that wants to win Manchester City should reserve their goals till the 80th minute and that is when it will be difficult for Manchester City to equalise and win. When Everton scored the goal, I knew it was so early to rejoice and in the end of the match, Manchester City stole all the three points which has kept them in the top four of the English Premier League still. |

The house rent hike is very alarming in Port Harcourt and I know if this continues this way, there will be collapse in the Estate business. It is not everyone that has the ability to pay such ridiculously high rents. In few years time, there will be alot of houses that no one will rent and this will be a problem. It is just a matter of time. Agents and lawyers are culprits and not only landlords.
Solution opinion to the situation
The government could play and help minimize this hiking rents issues simply my issuing mandatory orders on every landlords and give them a specific range of charges they are expected to rent their house and anyone violating the rules must be penalized and every landlords must issues rentage receipts to every of its tenants because the amount stated in the receipt would be used to justify any of the reported landlords if overcharging their house occupants and there should be an active functioning phone number that is to be reached and report any forms of the landlords.
I think the cautioned of governments authorities to the landlords would help this nature of situations.
This solution is not viable. This will only work if the government helped the landlords to build the house. If the government didn't contribute, they therefore has no right to interfere. The best that government can do is to build houses and rent them out in a cheaper rate. |

Na very goodnews be this one. Right from time, Nigeria no dey use iron hand for cryptocurrency matter for the country. The ban wey we been witness na because Nigeria never figure out how to contend with the cryptocurrency wahalas like scam and the rest because the industry just dey grow. Now wey Nigeria don decide to lift the ban, e be like dem don sabi how to handle the crypto matter. For taxing, this new government and even the government wey pass don dey find wey to tax cryptocurrency but dem no see the opportunity because dem don first ban the transaction. Even when dem announce tax, people criticise dem wela for announcing tax for something wey dem ban. Now, wey dem don lift the ban, taxation is eminent. |

What you post is illogical and comes completely opposite of what we, gamblers, want. We want to KYC, as this is 1) does not give any benefit for me, or proves anything (gamblers can use other persons identity) 2) casinos cant guarantee safety of our personal data. But you suggest to start gambling career from completing KYC. What is that for? Like this gonna save gambler from future troubles or give him some advantage? Absolutely not. And in crypto casinos, KYC is a total big no.
Check the parts of your comment I bolded and tell us what exactly you are saying. For in the first part, you said "as gamblers, we want kyc", and then in the second part, you said "kyc is a big no in crypto casino", which of this statements of yours is correct and which is not? And another aspect I will like you to take correction is in the area of generalizing your statement or comment, always avoid using the word "we" in your comment when online and discussing with strangers. You are a gambler and I am a gambler, but that does not mean we both have same interest, what you don't like doing may be some thing I find pleasure in doing. That you think that kyc should be a big no no on cryptocurrency gambling casinos, does not mean I also feel or think same. So, personalize things like this, and don't generalize it, it's your personal opinion, not the opinion of the general public. It is true that people's opinion differ and it is not right for someone to generalize his personal opinion there by making it a public opinion. But I still want to point out something that gamblers have some kind of unified opinion and this is seen when 70% of gamblers wants one particular thing, it is right to take that thing as the general opinion of the gamblers. Some casinos are kyc casinos while some are non kyc casino, both can co-exist, but in general what the gamblers want is non kyc casino. In reality those casinos are winding up on daily basis because the government is always against them. However, gamblers who are so attached to their privacy also know some ways to gamble without completing kyc. |

After a series of bad performance, Manchester City are slowly starting to drift further away from the top spot on the table. I think Pep Guardiola will need to lead Manchester City back to their dominating form in the English Premier League in order to catch up with Liverpool and Arsenal. I guess Manchester City should be able to beat Everton for their next upcoming match at the final whistle.
I do actually blame Pep Guardiola in this. We all know that he has been phenomenal in Manchester City for couple of years/seasons. I have to believe that his below the standard performance in this season's English premier League is because of his unpremeditated transfer business last season. Obviously, he won triple major trophies, the best thing to do should be to keep the team constant by all means or at the worse scenario, make an infinitesimal change. Selling Mahrez and Gundegon wasn't a good choice when you know that KDB is a human that could be injured. If not that Rodry turned a monster, what would have been the fate of Manchester city this season? |

Op, why did you remove BTCT?...BTCT is arguably the most appropriate acronym. Infact when this same topic was discussed years past, from the result of the poll, BTCT was second, why then did you remove it now. If you want an unbaised poll, the options should be; And I will go with the first option because the acronym of bitcoin is BTC. So, Bi TCoin Talk should be BTCT. |

So 3 people in 11 years and 40,000 plus posts is pretty good record.
A very nice record. Besides, I will like this record more than a flawless one. 90% positive and 10% negative should show that the carrier is a realist and not an online ass hole manipulating the system to his favour. I had a perfect record on ebay till someone gave me a neutral . that was from 2003 to 2022 and over 2000 buys and sells.
I work at it, but you can't please all the people all the time.
While buying online, be it stores or exchanges, I do not trade with someone with 100% reputation record. From 88% to 95% is ok for me. I consider them the uninfluenced true representation of reputation. |

I completely lost hope and got disappointed in Galatasaray after that I saw them lose and crash out of the Champions League group stage game against their opponent team contender Copenhagen, And which they were the next available team to have qualified as Man Utd weren't inform. I kind of doubt if they will progress in this side of competition because they lack the team strength to compete with other major teams in this Europa cup, where we do have teams such as Bayern Leverkusen and Liverpool present in the competition and just to mention a few plus other major teams to contest with.
Galatasary is not a team to write off in the Europa League competition. I am not tipping that they will be successful because they were victorious against Manchester United. Their victory does not prove anything rather than Manchester united is in a very worst form. But one thing about Europa League and Champions League is when it goes to the round of 16, there is possibility that any team can progress to the next level. About the champions of the Europa for this season, I am strongly tipping Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen. These been the names in my mouth since the day one and almost everyone is saying the same thing. Europa trophy this season will go for the native players and not the ones relegated from the Champions League |

Rasmus Hojlund hasn't gotten a goal in the EPL and that's a bit frustrating especially the game they lost to West Ham when he was substituted, you could see the frustration on his face. The manager (ETH) hasn't gotten a style of play that would make things easy for the striker to get his first EPL goal and tonight they're facing Unai Emery Etxegoien side who got a draw against Sheffield, it will be a fixture the home side would like to get a win and by the way Aston Villa are going about business I feel Manchester United will also find this game to be very difficult like the previous game, so I wonder how they'll handle this challenge of getting a win and also helping the striker get his first goal for the club in the EPL.
Who knows, this could be a fixture that Manchester United could box their way through this poor performance by getting all 3 point.
One thing I like about Manchester United coach is that he has the patience to wait on any player who is having a difficult time to come back to what they are used to know before he bought them. Take Onana for example, he was overly criticized by the media and also by Manchester United fans. The Manchester goalkeeper himself knew that he has not been performing in his great form but yet Manchester United coach still gave him a place and now he is part of the game. The case of the young Manchester United striker will not be a different. I believe Manchester United coach will still be giving him chances till he score his first English Premier League goal. It is not easy to be very honest with you for a coach to be using a striker every week and he is unable to get a goal. The only saving grace of Hojlund is that he has scored very well in the Champions League but that is not enough. He needs to prove himself in the English Premier League. |

Admin/Mods: Please ban "jvanname"
Has anyone been banned in the forum in the past because someone called them out to be banned? I'm just curious to know Have you tried to contact the "real" Joseph Van Name?
This would be difficult for Jollygood, so he chose the easy path by asking the unknown to prove he is the known. Have you tried to contact the "real" Joseph Van Name?
This would be the best step. Send the reply to Mr. T. for a quick ban. When I joined here newly, I heard about; Lauda, T-Man And Vod. The last name has reappeared, who knows if the first two will be the surprises of 2024. Well he also is the only person to give me a negative trust.
his reason is I am stupid.

Theymos why don't you ban casino signature campaigns too? These signature campaigns are the cancer of this forum, 90% of "writers", specially in Meta and Gambling, are just here for the signature money, yamming and creating drama, writing about nothing, bashing others so they can meet their signature quota. How many casinos have you seen that were seized by FBI or other financial agencies? It doesn't happen often. The casinos have regulations guiding them which they try to abide by. Most casinos have KYC system which has the real time data of gamblers and they have wagering policies which combats money laundering and more. So, they aren't threats to the forum. On the second part, mixers ban is because of the mixers themselves and not the promoters. There is no innovation, there is no new influx of quality discussions, just people trying to earn money and drain as much BTC from this forum as possible.
This shouldn't be a problem to theymos. I think he should even be happy that his forum is helping people to earn. Let this forum die in it's natural death, it is time to acknowledge it as part of history, archive it if it dies and move on.
This forum is a huge part of bitcoin. By God's will, it should last as long as BTC lasts |

Luton Town is leading against Sheffield United with a 0-1 scoreline in 33 minutes of play. Luton Town will want to win against Sheffield United and hope to win their outstanding match against Bournemouth to have a chance of surviving the relegation zone.
The tie is now 1-1 as both teams continue to chase for the winner. The boxing day fixture starting well; with Nottingham Forest thrasing Newcastle United away from home, while Fulham poor form continues away at Bournemouth Excellent boxing day fixtures. Final match of the day is Aston Villa vs sleeping devil (Manchester United). Lets have it From the bottom of the English Premier League table it is somehow difficult to understand what is happening in that zone. Recently Sheffield United has been doing fairly well and with the result of win and draw they have been having recently I think they should be able to escape the relegation zone but surprisingly they are still at the number 19th in the English Premier League table and they have played one match above their counterparts in that region. Fulham is another club that I do not know how to describe them. Although I do not follow up their matches but I have known when they were winning clubs with high margins of goals but their last two matches were losses and today they are also losing to Bournemouth. I am really sure something is not good at the bottom part of the English Premier League this season. There will be a lot of interesting activities in the coming weeks from this clubs that are in the relegation zone. |

Im scared about Barcelona's season. Last year, their emphasis on La Liga paid off, but this year, their Champions League goals seem to be stretching them. Due to this, their La Liga performance has suffered. The team's fluctuating outcomes reflect its divided energy and resources. Do they sacrifice domestic performance for European glory?
They should balance, in my opinion. Barcelona must meet high standards due to its La Liga and Champions League heritage. Managing these competitions is difficult, but a top club can do it. Strategy and prioritisation are needed, but they have the skill.
I don't think so, but indeed their performance is not so good this season with all the problems they have and that does not happen in the La Liga match alone, if we pay close attention to the actual performance of Barcelona in the UCL match is also not so good it's just that they are a little lucky Join the team that is not so strong in the group phase. The balance will definitely be carried out by a team if they have good strength and performance in the team but with Barcelona's condition like now, they are almost impossible to be able to do that, this is purely a decline in performance from them not because of priority. The problem of Barcelona is inability to know their weakness and their strength. Xavi is a very good coach and we must surely give him his accolade when he took up the mantle of leadership in the Barcelona team, that was a point that coaches were afraid to take up that responsibility. We all can attest that during that period of time Barcelona was not only down in administrative structure but they were having financial crisis. Since after Xavi became the coach of Barcelona he proved himself in the locally and was able to become a champion and it became his favorite to beat Real Madrid at some points. However his biggest challenge has been the European competition, severally and it did not work out. Instead of him to continue with his local good performance he traded it for European glory now both the local and European glory is nowhere to be found. |
