Another day - another exchange got hacked. I think I've never heard their name before and it's nothing surprising as it's relatively small exchange. Seems that they didn't put their heads into sand and trying to communicate, that's at least some positive sign. Will be interesting to follow how things will developp further.

Yeah, it's small exchange, but still, $26 million is huge money, no idea how they're going to compensate it. And for scammers it's more than enough money to retire, but probably they're not going to do it.

Thanks for support guys, I will try to disappoint you. Submitted my answers, but damn, this week questions is so tricky, even almost all football questions isso difficult to pick, so, not feeling much confidence this time.
Made a bet on myself and arallmuus, I hope it doesn't counts as match fixing, after all, I'm not betting against myself

Yeah, Rytas season isn't going well at all, but we are loosing against weaker teams on paper, I see potential in our squad. But with terrible BCL format we simply don't have enough serious games all season long, unlike in Eurocup and lack of experience hurts when it matters most.
Little correction, German final 4 was in Munich, not Berlin, where hosts Bayern beat Ulm in the final.
Biggest upset of weekend was in Italy where huge underdogs Napoli beat Milan in the final.

No interesting games this week as we have Eurobasket qualifiers, what is huge waste of time IMO. It's only strange that Euroleague made window for it, as previously national teams had to play without Euroleague players.

Congrats @cygan, 22 points and going up by 8 places is huge thing!

Despite how bad Bayern is looking, it was difficult to go against them when you see their recent results with Bochum like 7:0. Leipzig is already different level. Problem that they're not doing very well too.

Finally found time to make a payment - it took a bit too long, but better later than never.
Little bump for this topic as we have less than 2 weeks until new season - perfect time to join. Pre-season tests will begin on Wednesday and it will be broadcasted live. Already can't wait to see cars on track finally.

Welcome to campaign @Frankolala and @Don Pedro Dinero!

Got confused a bit about gambling posts requirement:

Judging from your nickname (same as one popular Russian Z telegram channels), you come to Bitcointalk just to spread some Russian propaganda. If you want to do it, you have to try harder because if you will continue dropping some random PSF files without giving any descriptionm it will get deleted too. Rules are rules and it applies to everyone.
''Dear american people'', dude, there is high chance that your post was deleted by admin who isn't even American, guy who is responsibe for Politics and society board is Russian. But yeah, US government is actively monitoring what is posted on Bitcointalk.

Damn, already second game this week that gave me point in similar way - first it was Shakhtar who also scored late goal. Mallorca with 10 men on pitch defended well, Sociedad tried to push hard, but not very effective but in very end of game they finally managed to score. This game cost me lot of nerves and I hope my neighbours didn't hear how I celebrated Sociedad goal
Sorry, @cryptofrka, but at least you won that bet on Sociedad
Relegation playoff for me next week, it would be shame to relegate after such win
BTW, congratulations to @vd309, seems that my win against him didn't stopped him from winning whole thing .

Oh, here we go again with shelling Dontesk for 8 years. It's strange that after such long constant shelling this city looks better than cities attacked by Russia like Avdiivka or Bakhmut. Or probably it can't even called as cities anymore as there just ruins of city remains.
Killed civilians - I'm wondering how many Ukrainian civilians were killed during 2 years of war. But offcourse, you won't see this.

Valencia - you're kidding. How you can't win against such pathetic Sevilla. Team that made 0 shots in total for almost whole game (0 both on and off target). First and only shot that Sevilla made was close to 90th minute and Sevilla continue to amaze me how bad they can be.

Celta didn't deserved to lose, but it can be said about many their games this season. They're not playing bad, but lose games in stupid way. When you see fans crying after loss, you understand how difficult for them this season is.
Just want to say one thing about Lewandowski - I hate when players trying to score penalty in this way, stopping just before kicking ball. Fortunately Celta goalkeeper stepped from line to early and Lewa got second chance.

As expected, cup semifinals delivered many surprising results. Despite it, in few countries we will have traditional finals like El Clasico in Spain and Panathinaikos - Olympiacos in Greece. Both Real and Barca left no chance completely for their opponents, I expected to see close games. Pao and Oly also reached final confidently.
In Germany Alba lost to Ulm, not sure that we can call it as big surprise, Ulm is German champions after all. They will face Bayern in final.
In France no Euroleague teams in the final. In semifinal Monaco lost to Paris in very close game. Will be very surprised if Paris leader TJ Shorts won't be signed by Euroleague team next season. So, we will have Paris - Nanterre in the final.
In Lithuania Zalgiris vs Lietkabelis in the final. My team Rytas failed to reach final 4 year in a row, 3rd time with same coach. I think it's best indicator that time for change already come...
In Italy Olimpia Milano reached final easy and they will face Napoli who won vs Reaggiana after overtime.
EDIT
Forgot Turkey, but nothing unexpected there - Efes vs Fenerbahche in the final.

Your fears weren't without a reason as Crvena Zvezda won in the final. Hard to tell something without watching game, just sorry for your team loss...

Ok, all agreed!

After Liverpool scored 4 goals, I thought that I'm safe with EPL question, but damn you Arsenal. Swiatek did what she was supposed to do, so, now it's all on Sociedad and they don't look like a team which I would pick to decide my faith.

It's all ok, shit happens for everyone sometimes. But I have question - why it took 18 hours to post this message? I don't think it's so difficult to do it. And how about all bonuses of users who were activated and lost during this downtime?

Ukrainian forces fully withdraw from Avdiivka. Seems that sending 3rd Assault Brigade there helped to minimize losses while leaving city and prevent from encirclement. Some public Ukrainians justifying that's not significant loss. IMO, it's bullshit. We should admit that it's painful and significant loss, same like Bakhmut. They were keeping Avdiivka from 2014, it was strong fortification and tou literally was able to see Donetsk from Avdiivka. Without lack of ammunition, probably they would be able to keep control of this city, after all, Russian losses here is probably bigger than was in Bakhmut
But there is at least some good news, Ukrainians report about 3 Russian fighter jets shot down near to Avdiivka - two Su-34 and one Su-35. Though, Russian Fighterbomber denies information about both Su-34, but confirmed Su-35.

If there is cup next week, it means that I'm free and I'm open for friendly game. 1 mbtc is preferred amount but you can go with your offer.

Thanks mate, it's nice to get support. Leading 2:1 now and it's already clear that my opponent won't take point from tennis question. I still need Swiatek to win in the final to take point for me. And then we have 2 different answers - EPL and Mallorca - Real Sociedad game. It's likely that match outcome can be decided tomorrow as both EPL and tennis is played on same time.

Freebitco.in is down for almost whole day, today morning it was still working. Being down for some time isn't end of world itself, shit happens for everyone sometimes. But what doesn't looks good is lack of communication from their side. They had more than enough time to tell something. If this downtime would be somehow related with implementing something new to website, I guess they would had said something about it.
As guy above said, The Quin doesn't posts here anymore, he barely visit forum, people aren't getting response from support. I would agree that Freebitco.in going downhill recently.

EDIT Freebitco.in is back online finally.

We already have some upsets in 1/4 finals of cups. In Italy Virtus got eliminated by Reggiana, in France Asvel were beaten by Nanterre. In Spain Gran Canaria managed to send game to overtime with great buzzer-beater https://twitter.com/ACBCOM/status/1758252031540682995, but in overtime Valencia left no chance for them.

Personally I like cups, single game elimination means that that underdogs get bigger chance and there is plenty of upsets. NBA, I don't follow regular season, don't even talk about All star weekend, it's boring.
Basketball outside - good for. Here in Lithuania it's still too cold. We have no snow now, but still too cold, I think that we can shoot some hoops outside no earlier than middle of March.

Since he returned to Russia in 2021 (still don't understand why he returned). This time they didn't used Novichok to poison or didn't shot by the walls of Kremlin like they did with Nemtsov, but it's less cynical way to kill opponent. It's another sign that in Russia there can't by any signs of opposition.
It's a bit strange to see both Z-patriots and Ukrainians celebrating these news. But you know history of Navalny statements like this one https://twitter.com/InformNapalm/status/1734252973658620330  or this https://newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/crimea-not-a-sandwich-and-ukraine-within-1708099375.html you understand that for Ukrainians he was just another Russian nationalist and they didn't idolised him like some in West did.

There is just 2 Conference league games that I made bets on and I got burned in both. It's Betis and Ajax. And Ajax were actually few minutes away from huge fiasco, being down 0:2 at home on 90th minute. But then red card, scored penalty and another goal after few minutes and score is 2:2 already.Anyway, trip to Bodo will be difficult, if Ajax will get eliminated there, I wouldn't call it surprise.

As I already said in other thread, Shakhtar - Marseille was such drama, not just because of game itself but also BSFL things. Galatasray managed to achieve positive result on additional time, Milan is 99% in next round, Sporting also made huge step forward.

In later game slot they didn't looked so scary, playing with weaker opponents on paper. Benfica only managed to save their asses and my over 2.5 bet by getting penalty on 96th minute which was scored by Di Maria. While Braga suffered fiasco, losing against Qarabag 2:4 at home is just shameful
