You'll be baffled the amount of information we have on this forum just at your disposal only if you have the urge to surf constantly and read across as if you are reading through an interesting magazine. I've learnt a lot from this forum and this forum has also prompted me to learn a lot of things that have helped me across different sources.

If I should narrow it down most times I either use the forum , bitcoin wiki or Wikipedia. Wikipedia is really amazing only it may seem boring to a lot of persons if you are looking for a fancy interface and not some newspaper kinda layout.

A majority of the time your win in gambling is determined by luck. Basically cashing out isn't a bad move and similarly not cashing out isn't also a bad move the difference is if you're willing to continue with the risk or not. There are cases where people have refused to cash out when they were on a win streak on a combo bet and shortly after the bet failed at the dying minute.

Similarly their cases where cash out has been the wrong move just like in your case but that doesn't mean we should paint the idea behind cashing out as bad simply because it is all about if you are willing to continue with the risk or not. Infact, some people prefer to just place bets and forget about them to avoid cashing out.

One of the very first steps to getting scammed by telegram channels and groups like these is greed to want to take advantage of a casino flaw or algorithm if there is even any. Basically most of the casino games we play on these casinos are not offered directly by them and it's one of the major reasons you see multiple casinos having one particular game from one particular server, for example pragmatic play.

A majority of telegram channels and groups like these are aimed at scamming people most of them will trick people to pay to get access to flaws that don't exist.

Well actually get what you are trying to say but honestly I'm just knowing about this. Basically what I understood about most mining pools before was that the percentage of hashrate you contribute is also used to calculate your reward after a block has been successfully mined.

If they allocate the total profit from a successfully mined block to the particular node that hashed that block, then what happens to the transactions fees that they are accumulate?

Most pools use a percentage distribution for rewards. The thing is why they make use of a collective hash rate in pools is to increase their chances of securing the block reward by having a larger hashrate. As a result of this most times if they are able to get the block reward the distributes the profit according to the hash rate contributed by each Solo miner.

This simply means that those who contributed a larger percentage of the total hash rate will get a larger percentage of the profit during distribution of the rewards.

Mining requires hashrate which is basically regarded as the processing power in bitcoin mining. Mining and browsers don't really correlate because in the first place you don't need a browser to mining. If you are referring to sites urging you to make a certain payment for hash rate for them to mine for you that's referred to as cloud mining and it's basically a scam.

Considering the current difficulty of the bitcoin network, as efficient as most GPU are,  they still can't meet up with a decent mining hash rate plus coupled with electricity costs in powering those mining wares, cloud mining would put the person offering to mine at loss which makes it an obvious scam.

The change to the OP_RETURN size limit is more like a technical move designed to improve network efficiency and not to actually enable more spam. It is actually  supposed to be a kinda strategic effort to encourage data storage to shift from more harmful methods like those used by Ordinals to a less harmful one.

I think the core of the issue isn't about if data can be stored on the blockchain but kinda about how it's actually stored. The simple truth is, the market for NFTs and other data is kinda limited by what people are willing to pay and this change may not make storing that data any cheaper.
In the end the only real risk of a temporary increase in activity might be a new marketing trend and not really a fundamental technical shift.

First for clarity sake let's use the term mind or subconscious instead of brain your brain has cognitive abilities but embedding gambling in your mind or subconscious is the problem. The goal is to gamble at leisure not necessarily calculating how many times you have to gamble like a timetable.

2 bets a year could wreck you as a gambler similarly gambling everyday could do the same. The concept it to gamble maturely and responsibly. If you ask me I'll say the best schedule is to gamble when you have free funds and you feel like.

Nothing is flawless and samr also applies for decentralization. Basically decentralization is good in that we are in full control but the question is can that control be used for selfish incentives? If you come to think about it, the more coins you Hodl , the bigger your influence in the general price of bitcoin or even the condition of the entire crypto market since bitcoin also in directly influences them.

Every now and then we see big firms making headlines of them selling or buying huge amounts of bitcoin and the next moment, their incentives coupled with FOMO causes the market to move in their direction. This may seem normal to some people but I see it as them taking advantage of decentralization to manipulate price to their preference.

Recently more countries are are hodling bitcoin in the form of reserves it seems like a good move for adoption but simultaneously it also means they Hodl a certain huge percentage of a high valued asset with a fixed supply cap which means they literally Hodl a decent percentage of power on the network. shared power is the backbone of decentralization and I think big firms and countries are using it to their advantage.

What do you think?

I believe it's all about how fast your node catches up with the rest of the network. The confirmation of your transaction actually depends on if it has been included in a block and not just it sitting in the mempool. Remember that your node actually has to download and fully validate that new block containing your transaction before it can officially update its status to confirmed. So there's  actually a very high chance that what what you're seeing is a temporary lag in synchronization.

Your pruned node should  be working  fine since it could correctly identify the transaction in the mempool but is waiting to process the block itself to reflect that it. is now confirmed. Check your network speed because sometimes it can contribute to this lag too.

One thing I think I've learned from all my years watching the lines is that sometimes a bad beat is actually just a bad beat. You can look for patterns and conspiracies until you're blue in the face but sometimes a star player just has a terrible night at the free throw line or a team that looks invincible could actually under perform under pressure.

The unpredictability of sports is more like a human element and it's what makes it so compelling and sometimes also very frustrating for a gambler. Sometimes we actually want to believe there's a reason for every shocking fail because it's actually  way easier to blame something sinister than to accept that sometimes things just go wrong.

There's no need for that. The first question is why will I want to count the merit some one has sent in the last 120 days? So basically take it as it's not a very essential function hence it's not there. You can use any of the forum extensions and the good news is they not only offer what you are asking but they also are fully open source.

Actually to prove one transaction in a block I think you only need your transaction data and a few "sibling" hashes from the Merkle tree to prove your transaction's inclusion to the root.
You don't actually need the hashes of other full transactions rather just the specific hashes needed for your branch. For a block with thousands of transactions this proof is really tiny probably only a few hundred bytes compared to the megabytes of the full block.

You'll get carried away by your winnings as a gambler if you are too focused on the money instead of the fun mostly. Regardless of the fact that every gambler wants to win you shouldn't be focussed on the profits to be made since a majority of the time it could even end up clouding your judgement in the end you may even lose your initial winnings.

Your psychology as a gambler is what determines if you'll easily get carried away. Setting limits is mind based most times and not actually like having a timetable or something of sorts.

One thing you need to understand is the government will not abandon fiat which they have full control over just to accept bitcoin which is decentralized as a replacement and besides bitcoin is only a better alternative not a replacement so it won't necessarily overshadow the dollar for payments.

The major thing happening is the dollar is getting less valuable and is getting affected more by inflation and on the contrary bitcoin became a better investment or even store for liquidity. BTC P2P will become more and more popular but it won't overshadow fiat P2P transactions.

Have you made use of a multisig wallet before?
Well if you have I don't think you would have this same opinion. The main difference between a multi-sig wallet and your regular standard wallet is the number of signatures required to sign a transaction for it to be valid  for a broadcast. If you've made use of a multisig wallet before you'll discover you spend more in fees and not only that the hassle of having 2 co-signers will tire you out.

If you really want maximum security as an individual HODLER, you'll rather use a standard wallet extended with your own custom words. That way even if the criminal has you 12 words it will load up an empty wallet. Storing private keys is more of a hassle compared to storing seed phrases.

Gambling has been around for way too long and I don't really think you can stop people from indulging in it either legally or illegally the only thing that a country will be able to achieve is reduce the rate of illegal gambling to the bare minimum. This is because most times the negative effects of gambling is usually more pronounced on people that engage in illegal gambling activities.


I don't think I've actually come across any article that claims gambling is illegal in a particular country but what I can say is literally all over the world gambling is illegal for underage persons.

Understand the fact that merits are attracted to post that have value. They are different ways you can dish out value with your post if someone needs help with something and you are able to provide a very accurate solution no matter hidden the post is you will definitely earn merit on that post. Fact is you should think more on contributing to the forum rather than thinking about merit. This is because when you contribute properly merits will come naturally.

How can you pass an information on this from without typing or making a post?

Yeah it makes some sense in that it's basically like sharing your risk with the other party with the catch that you also gave to share profit. However you have to consider something too, which is in gambling most times your Risk is directly proportional to your reward in that case it's almost same thing as one party taking half the risk alone.

Aside from this it may not be very convenient with online gambling probably in a case where that particular stuff goes against the terms of usage of that particular casino.
