321  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Vaccine against Covid-19 should be made before sports events will take place? on: June 01, 2020, 09:24:43 PM
@everyone. We would be dead if we wait hehehehe. There has never been a successful vaccine for the coronavirus group of viruses, not a successful vaccine for Sars, Mers, the common cold.

Do not be the guinea pigs if your country's health care system declares that they have the vaccine available hehe.

You're right. Even now, the above vaccines are not a 100% guarantee that you will not be infected with a new strain of one of these viruses.
Scientists now say that the virus that reached Europe is a mutated species of the Chinese virus.
It is possible that by autumn we will see more than one mutation, which will make the vaccine simply useless. But the story with antibodies looks much more convincing.
322  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you donate in a casino? on: June 01, 2020, 09:14:10 PM
I would rather participate in charity programs.
The casino already has a gorgeous profit due to the fact that other people lose there.

Why not send some of the casino funds won to charity?
In my opinion this is more prudent than direct donations that each person can make in other places.

I like the idea of attracting more people to participate in events dedicated to charitable events, for example, events with reduced rake, and other related bonuses.

This is completely wrong. Any casino provides a game in any game with a minimal expectation. Therefore, the longer a player plays, the more he loses.

However, the casino offers a trick, jackpots and other random large winnings which, if successful, will be given to one out of a million people,all the rest will continue to lose,
impressing on the success of that one person who won the jackpot.
324  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble to escape your problem? on: June 01, 2020, 08:51:12 PM
I don't think that escaping your problem by gambling is not a good idea in my opinion as it will only add more problems. My suggestion is that you should divert your attention in other things so that you won't always remember your problem. If your problem is financial then it would only make it worse.

Avoiding problems is always bad because the problem is not solved and comes back again and again.
Avoiding the problem over and over again, we enjoy a passing sense of comfort from the fact that we did not have to strain the gyrus to solve it, but this is just an illusion.
The problem will come back again and again, and the situation may worsen each time.

In addition, we will constantly think that we have a problem that needs to be solved, which will prevent us from being effective in other areas of life.
Any avoidance is avoidance, whether it is gambling, drinking or computer games.
325  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will another altcoin rise to overtaken Bitcoin? on: June 01, 2020, 09:15:47 AM
Many altcoins already overtaken Bitcoin in technology. It seems impossible for any altcoins price can overtaken Bitcoin price in coming years.

It does not matter. The market exchange system is speculative in nature based on linking the entire market to the price of bitcoin.
Even more technologically advanced coins are not able to overpower Bitcoin, and to a certain extent depend on it.
For this to happen, it is necessary that the price of Bitcoin falls, and the price of "this" altcoin grows so that it can outweigh at least by capitalization.
But this is impossible due to the dependence of all alternative coins on bitcoin.


326  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Underground Casinos Is it Happening? on: May 28, 2020, 10:13:03 PM
Casinos of this kind took place before the pandemic. In many countries, similarly, some casinos and private owners bypass taxes.
I am sure that many of these casinos will be raided with arrests and subsequent court cases.

But in those countries in which casinos of this kind have always been the norm - they are the norm and will remain and blossom with new colors.
The issue of spreading Covid is solved through the use of gloves and special convenient means of protection, in a normal mask it is difficult for a long time especially in the basement, in which such underground casinos are often based.
327  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][SEM] Semux - Official Thread on: May 24, 2020, 10:50:11 AM
New public pool available:
Validator coffee_pool https://semux.top/delegate/coffee_pool
Fee: 12%
Min. payout: 0.1 SEM

Welcome! See payouts on public pools on-chain tracker: https://semux.info/public-pools

Better reduce your fee or you won't have a chance to compete against other pools, just my two cents.

So wake up, most pools have even more fees  Grin

general01, general02, general03, general04 18%
dragon, tiger, night, tent, blackcat, freedom, spring 20%
gorilla, dolphin,    jaguar, alligator, elephant, hamster, camel, bear, iguana, firefly, lobster 25%
100_tokenpar_com 50%
semux_pool_party no payments since Dec 2019

At the same time, there are many other pools with a commission in the region of 5% -10%.
On average, the commission of 12% is not too high, since among the pools there are those who charge a much higher fee, for example 25%.

328  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Enough of bounty scam, you can help to stop it too. on: May 23, 2020, 10:38:45 AM
Scammers are unstoppable, get used to the present condition and learn from your mistakes, ICO and IEO projects are so dubious that you can't read them perfectly, invest the only amount you can risk and promote bounties for luck sake

It’s best not to really have expectations, and especially not to consider the bounty as a full-fledged method of earning, it is too unstable.
Then, it is likely that you will be surprised and delighted by the periodic possibility of earning.
The most important thing is not to waste time scam projects, it is not so difficult, it is important to be careful and look deep into the end.
329  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are research on altcoins for long term investment worth it?? on: May 22, 2020, 06:25:47 PM
When betting on the long term, you must take into account the fact that in addition to the instability of the coin itself, we are also dealing with the instability of the market itself, and bitcoin in particular.
This globally affects all altcoins, sometimes extremely unpredictable. However, there are things that in any case will positively affect the price in the future - this is the demand for technology.
If a coin, no matter how much it costs now, has good potential in the future, then this will be a good investment, although no one will give guarantees.

332  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does good side of gambling overcomes its negative side? on: May 07, 2020, 10:31:04 PM
Everyone should remember their principles. It is they who show us the way and suggest what decisions should be made, provided that we listen to them.
If at some point you feel that gambling is contrary to your principles, for example, such as family, friends, helping people, then obviously the right decision would be to refuse gambling or at least review your behavior.

333  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino workers, asking for salary during the shutdown on: May 07, 2020, 10:29:20 PM
In my opinion, casino owners should pay their employees salaries in difficult situations like now. Because of a crisis like now cooperation
is needed by all parties, it cannot just rely on government assistance. All casinos should, especially in America, be able to pay workers
even though they don't work. Because I believe the benefits gained by casino owners are huge.

Unfortunately, the principle "this is a business - nothing personal" most often applies.
The casino is aimed at increasing their profits, they do not create any product, so it is not so important for them to have super loyal employees.
Of course, any enterprise wants employees to want to work on it even for free and love it as their parents, but as a rule, such things happen in companies that produce products that help people.
The casino, on the contrary, can get rid of all the workers, and then hire new ones without losing much.
334  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is consensus? on: May 07, 2020, 08:18:18 PM
It is amazing that you were not too lazy to spend time and type your question here, although if you had done the same action in Google you would have immediately received all the necessary answers.

Without going into details, this is a way to come to an agreement. Blockchain, as a rule, is a decentralized environment, and for its normal functioning,
it is necessary that all network participants are in consensus with each other. In other words, consensus is an algorithm a set of rules and functions that allow network participants to agree.
There is also the concept of a protocol, which is sometimes confused with consensus. The protocol is the initial rules of a particular blockchain, while consensus is the algorithm by which these rules work.

There are several types of consensus algorithms; all information about them has long been on the network. I will only mention the most basic ones that you have probably already heard about.

PoW (Proof of Work):
Example: Bitcoin.
The main feature is protection against Sybil attack.
The main disadvantage is that for the operation and security of the network, it is necessary to perform calculations requiring large energy costs.
There is also the problem of centralizing the hash rate.

PoS (Proof of Stake):
Example: DASH, NEO.
The main feature is there is no need to have computing power, it is enough to have a certain number of coins on the balance.
The main disadvantage "Nothing at Stake" problem.

You can delve into the technical details of the above algorithms here. https://bitfury.com/content/downloads/pos-vs-pow-1.0.2.pdf

The company Bitwise conducted a study on the topic of falsification of trading volume and revealed that 95% of the volumes on cmc are fake. You can view their full report here. Bitwise Asset Management.

Only 10 exchanges were accepted without fake volumes. All of them can be seen on the site created by the Bitwise company to track volumes.

There are several options. On the one hand, gambling addicts got a good opportunity to check their nerves and probably a chance to get out of addiction, because all that is needed is to wait and switch to another activity. It is likely that many will succeed. The truly sophisticated in any case will find a way out of their dependence, whether it be illegal gambling or betting on anything online.

Despite the fact that small and medium-sized businesses are in distress, I am glad that people are not in a hurry to withdraw their funds from Bitcoin.
They may not have the best purchasing power right now, but they can hold on to Bitcoin and this can affect the attitude of people towards it, during the period of the fall of such a large number of valuable assets.
338  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to escape loss as an altcoin trader on: April 20, 2020, 09:08:15 AM
The point is there are many traders that don't trust USDT and other stable coins.
Escaping losses is like you're avoiding the whole market's devastation. You can avoid this by getting out completely.
But as long you stay, don't expect you will be free from it.

I believe the author is interested in how to reduce losses during the trading itself and not how to avoid trading itself.
As mentioned above, you need to close all transactions in plus. Even if this plus is small. This is the key to your mental health.
It is extremely difficult to come to this, but this is what every trader should strive for.
Only with experience can you identify risk points, by lowering which your profit will rise.

Personally, I cannot completely trust in the disinterestedness of the words spoken by Kiyosaki.
His reputation has too many blank spots associated with certain types of fraud and the checks that he failed once.
He is definitely a good businessman, but he did not always follow the path of winning, winning, which casts doubt on me his motivation to say such words.
340  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to protect bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies from hackers. on: April 20, 2020, 08:58:44 AM
Always keep in mind that hackers cannot just take and withdraw your funds from your wallets.
In any case, they will need your help. Whether it’s an installed application, a clicked link, a browser extension, or something else.
You should always ask yourself, "How safe is this? Are there any risks when using this?"
If there is a chance of compromising, then this will happen sooner or later.
