Re: Lost email address for Blockchain

Just an update on this.

In the email address that I originally thought was associated with the account (and one which they deny is linked to the account) I have found a number of emails.

The first, in 2014 was a welcome to my wallet email. This has the wallet ID which matches what i had written down.

There's another in 2017 asking me to verify the email (whether I did or not I have no idea)

Then there were two emails in late 2017 asking about attempted log ins from a mobile phone.

A final one was sent in 2018 regarding EDPR updates.


So I have sent another message to blockchain customer support.



Looks like you’ve got solid proof that email was tied to your wallet
Strange that support denies it… hopefully they’ll finally sort it out for you this time

Re: Money Match in videogames - play betting

Everyone feels bad when they lost money mate, so video games is not that a exception. But there could be some of us we really are into this kind of one on one games and they got a kick on playing against each other and beating them with money on the line. And this kind of games have evolved a lot since late 2019 if I'm not mistaken. As there are a lot of money right now, in millions, individuals or teams events and it's country vs country. And if I'm not mistaken, it has even been discussed if this kind of games could be considered sports or it could be included in the Olympics.

A very interesting point: e-sports Olympics would be really cool, and I believe that in the future, with greater popularization of this sports modality, it will be totally feasible. Here in my country (Brazil), we’ve even had video game tournaments broadcast on cable TV channels, meaning there is a market, and it is highly competitive and profitable. I think it’s just a matter of time before it’s truly recognized as a real sport, since it requires skill and a lot of training to stand out, just like a conventional sports athlete.

Solid advice here.
I agree that focusing on investing and managing emotions is just as important as technical analysis.

Re: Best payment solution?

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for advice on which payment solution would be a good fit for a WooCommerce webshop based in the EU. We primarily sell equipment for cannabis enthusiasts. You can take a look here: https://highhouse.dk

I'm seeking a solution that is legal in the EU and complies with the regulations we have here.
Since you ask this question, I assume you mean crypto payments. You can use BTCPayserver, it's an open-source, self-hosted payment processor that offers a solution for e-commerce platforms, so you don't depend on any 3rd party provider, and you can accept crypto payments without a hassle.
Btw I know from my American friend that Coinbase Ecommerce is fine to use in your business type but I suggest you do your own research or consult with a lawyer or directly call Coinbase.

Thanks for the recommendation!

I’ve heard of BTCPayserver before but haven’t looked into it seriously.

Definitely makes sense to explore self-hosted options, especially with the regulatory concerns in the EU.

Re: Planning on starting any business?

Emotions tend to ruin the plans we have made and involving emotions in trading or investing can cloud the initial strategy. In trading, emotions are very influential because when control is lost, it can actually cause problems.
Investment and business are also the same actually because when someone is unable to control emotions we do not run according to the strategy that has been set well.
But in a certain capacity I also disagree if investment is similar to gambling because that is the behavior of people who do not understand the concept of investment with gambling.

In gambling, people hope for luck to make a profit, but in investment we cannot follow this pattern because without good analysis we will not understand how to invest properly.

If we cannot control our emotions, we cannot be the king of strategy. Emotions oppose predetermined strategies, judgment, and decisive decisions, and as a result, the quality of our investments is greatly affected. Again, investing is not just a game of making profits - it is the result of patience, discipline, and long-term planning. You cannot control the market, but you can control yourself - and that will be the main condition for successful investing. Seeing sudden price fluctuations can often destroy your inner stability. If you have a risk management strategy, DCA plays an important role. Having a trading plan means that you are creating a mental safety net where market fluctuations cannot force you to make sudden decisions.

Totally agree with this.
Emotional control is underrated in investing

Re: Looking for a software development partner

Hello to all!

Looking for a software development partner without investment in a Project to create a new bitcoin mining pool.

I am also a developer in the past, but now I want to give the development and technical implementation to a partner.

I already have an agreement to run our mining pool on a fairly large farm that now produces about 50 bitcoins per month and they are now mining through Binance Pool which takes 2.5% commission from them.

We are supposed to be more modest and take 1% commission.

The principle of "win-win".

And this will be the starting point of our mining pool.

After that, we will expand our referral program among miners and companies selling ASICs, and increase the number of independent miners connected to our pool.

I have also repaired ASICs, and there is some technical understanding to develop my own firmware for ASICs that is more optimal for users. But that's the next stage.

I also have a very cool programmer for low-level programming, but he needs "guidance" and "tasking".

Maybe we can partially use some existing open source solutions to some extent, but that needs to be searched and tested and most likely refined.

If you are a developer and are interested in an interesting Project, drop me a message on Telegram @dkr_1993_2

Thank you for your attention.

Looks like an ambitious idea.
Curious to know if you ever found a solid dev partner and how things progressed with the pool after a year.

Re: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Yes, I can. Because you keep thinking that pollution is the only negative effect. If you'd use your imagination, you'd realize that there are other damages in addition to pollution. Things you can't even imagine without learning more. Furthermore, a class action lawsuit cannot exist until damage is done. We're at a stage in our civilization where we want to prevent more damage from happening proactively. That means regulation.

I suggest you suspend any further speculation on how your ideas might work until you've taken the time to better understand all the issues that are at stake here.

Of course there's always something else. I just thought I'd tackle one issue at a time. The world is a big place, and a lot is going on in it. It would be presumptuous of me to think I know everything. Eat the proverbial elephant one bite at a time...

Wouldn't you be more credible if you took it upon yourself to learn as best as you are able the deeper interactions of the Earth's ecosystems, and what has occurred up until this point, before advocating your own ideas of policy?

Here's a little nugget of data for you: the average rate of species extinction over the lifetime of life on Earth is one per million per year. That number has been arrived at through independent methods. Today, the average rate of species extinction is 1,000 to 10,000 per million per year. In other words, species are going extinct today at a rate that is 1,000 to 10,000 times the normal rate. This all ties into biodiversity, which is a huge subject that deals with how the Earth self regulates itself.

Frederic has said he doesn't care if his idea would mean people dying.  Why do you think he would care about other species?  It really doesn't matter to him.


That extinction rate comparison is staggering — it really puts today’s environmental crisis into perspective.

Do you think the Universal Declaration of Human Rights should include environmental protection more explicitly, considering how deeply it impacts future generations?

Yeah, that’s the problem with old lists—they get outdated way too fast. Some of the services mentioned might still be around, but relying on them is a gamble.
