If you can go ahead with what you've stated above then It will be better to leave the discussion here, so far the competition will be hosted off the forum and the discussion that would have been on any other pool thread would be about the competition itself.

I already made inquiry with a trusted escrow, but It's fine if anyone else can get one as soon as possible to create enough time to get as many participants as possible.

I left you a PM.
So far we have the following users who are interested however we still need to work with the entry fees. Like another user I will also vote for 0.002BTC however I would not mind if you guys want higher or lower than this.

So we have:
hahay
Me
Harkorede
logfiles
LTU_btc

I will also would not mind to continue our discussion here. OP just needs to update the original post with the information we will have if we decide that we are going with the pool.

I would ask the participants not too use the regular fees your wallet shows in default. If you see my tx then you will see I only used 1 sat/B. We are not in hurry here so use law tx fees. You can save some dust and you know every satoshi counts.

Good luck to everyone. Let's make it a successful pool. JOIN TODAY!

I had transaction completed with 3 satoshi per byte within 10 hours. That's super fast. 1 satoshi per byte may take some time but since you guys aren't in hurry, use 1 satoshi. May be it will take 24 hours maximum.

Can confirm that I am escrowing the prize pool.

1 sat/byte would have gone through three times in the past 24 hours (red boxes).

Another day, another competition, and one of my favourites. I've decided to register my interest here, but I'll only make the payment some time next week if that's okay. Gonna wait til mempool's down below 10k for a bit. Good to see some of you guys from the other pools!

Just found out last night too that Japan and Qatar are invited to play, it does feel a little weird to be honest, but these were the finalists of the last AFC, which was a really profitable tournament for me, so I'll take my chances and back Qatar to win this one too, even though they open with Argentina!

Apparently, this isn't even the first time Japan was invited either, but it's a first for a Middle East team.


I'll join the pool after paying.

You mean, to win the trophy?  You like to swing for the fences, don't you?    Qatar won't face same team quality they had in the AFC, if they want to win the whole thing, they're gonna have to play against world-class players...I honestly doubt they'll go past the group stages.

In AFC, Qatar faced low team than Copa America, there has team like Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile. I don't get how you even think Qatar to lift this trophy. I giess they will be out from the 1st round.

[Trofo]

Free bump + notifications for me so that i don't forget about this thread. Count me in, since summer without football pool will be kind of boring. Don't know much about South American teams but the amount isn't much so it will be for fun probably. I'll officially join as soon as I get my reword for Champions League pool, since all my other BTC is tied up (alts, exchanges, cold storage).

[buwaytress]

@tomahawk, yup I really like to swing for the fences. Qatar started the AFC as a huge underdog and dark horse, they trained behind closed doors and no one knew who their players were even. They probably won't even get far but hey, the game is full of mysteries these days;)

@RapTarX: You're probably right and I have no disrespect at all for Latin American teams, but I as well think they have fallen far from the days when they were super strong in the 90s and noughties.

Qatar didn't exactly play "low teams" as you call them. Beating Japan and South Korea en route to cup was no mean feat, and they had a 100% win record too. If they win against Paraguay and lose against Argentina, there's a good chance they progress, and they won't meet Argentina in the QF if so;)

Yeah, Qatar performance was huge surprise in AFC. Until this tournament they didn't had any big achievements and never played in World Cup. I'm wondering how they managed to improve in very short period of time. Especially considering that they don't have stars in their squad and almost all their players playing in Qatar league. I don't have big expectations from them in Copa America, but it will be interesting to watch them.

@buwaytress nothing is impossible these days as many times underdogs are causing big upsets, and hence I am thinking of placing a small bet on Qatar to progress ahead and cause upsets. While Argentina is my second favourite team to win this cup, but at times they have shown they’re vulnerable and can be defeated hence there’s always a possibility of upset being caused. Also I feel I’ll get pretty high odds on Qatar, and that’s one more reason for me to place bets on them.

Hey guys, I've sent my payment. I am aware it isn't confirmed and will probably remain unconfirmed for a couple of days at least, but since the tourney's about 2 weeks away, I thought it could be a fun experiment to see how long a 1 sat/byte transaction confirms even with mempool at 22k as of this post.

It's RBF so I'll bump the fees up if we get worried, don't worry

@LTU, Juggy: Yeah, been a great season for me so far, very low ratio of bets won to lost, but good profit margin!

Good to see you on board brother. We need more participants. Come on guys, join us and let's have some fun as we chase some BTC to win. Join today!

About the 1 sat/B, this will be confirmed anytime and you will see it will be earlier than you though 🙂

I would suggest everyone to use 1 or 2 sat/B tx fees since there are not hurry for us to get the tx confirmed.
