This has been a very exciting international break period. The player who I think has had the most amazing representation with his National team is Scott McTominay. He has been brilliant for Scotland and influential in their victories, especially his brace against Spain.

I only hope that those who picked up knocks during the tournament do not stay out for long, cause the club season is only going to get more demanding.

That is the best way to look at the market.
You limit the possibilities if you only look ahead to a few months and not what could be in the next 5 to 10 years. CRP could easily be the fastest growing crypto asset of the decade or at least fall into the top ten. If you sell for temporary gains, you miss out on potential ones.

In addition to the comment above, it is also possible to check if a transaction is RBF enabled when you receive it. If it is not, then the transaction cannot be double spent, no matter how low the fee is, but if it is, then the inputs in it can be spent in a new transaction using a higher fee.

It needs to be confirmed to be a part of the chain. The number of confirmations just contribute to the depth and keeps increasing as more blocks are stacked on top of it.

Do not enter conversations with strangers. Unsolicited messages are the first tools that a scammer has and if you do not respond, the chance of being a victim drops exponentially.

Any online offer which seems to good to be true, is probably not true and should be ignored. DO not get comfortable on the internet, cause that could lead to complacency and cause you to become a victim.

Platforms like Utopia highlight the importance of Privacy.

Privacy is very much overlooked in today's society with the constant desire to overshare information with strangers on the internet. Some people have so many details just lying around in their online trail, such as their address, work-place, family, regular destinations, daily routine etc.

This is because the value of data is not perceived by most. They feel that since they are not celebrities or public figures, they do not need to bother about what they reveal, but that is far from the truth.
Data is a sort of digital gold with every industry and wealthy personality wanting a share of the pie. And the internet is being used to harvest more and more data about its visitors, data which could later on be sold or used for targeted ads.

You cannot guarantee if your data is being used maliciously, protect it, cause once privacy is lost, it can never be recovered.

#1956 Re: General Discussion » What is currently missing within the ecosystem? » 2023-03-30 05:00:26

Innovation is a continuous process, you can properly determine what improvements would take place in the future at any point in time, same way we cannot say anything is missing right now in the ecosystem.

As the ecosystem buds and grows, more innovations would come in and there would be better ways discovered to do things.
I look forward to Utopia in 5 or 10 years.

Well it depends mate, most transactions require like three confirmations before it reflects on your receivers address I don’t think it’s possible on all platforms but if those transactions block hasn’t been confirmed you can retrieve your coins.

This is incorrect. Platforms like exchanges require a minimum of three transactions to accept a transaction as valid, but at the time the transaction is made, it would reflect on the other address and from the first conformation it is spendable by the receiving address.

If it has 0 confirmations, it has not technically been sent and it is possible to double spend.

Okay everyone is of the reasoning that CRP Crypton is not affected by the whales but if whales can just buy coins and affect the value by actions they take, why won't they also do so with CRP.

This question cannot be answered directly. On one hand yes, CRP would be affected by whales as we are still at the maturation stage and the wealth in the project is not yet fully spread out, this is normal for such a project.

On the other hand, believe in the project and the coin is high among the community. They would be less willing to give up their coins cause of movement in the market.

I have noticed this across all the crypto communities I have been into over the years. Russians have a very strong blockchain community and tend to help each other to learn more about the technology.

I look forward to this channel being run exclusively by Russians.

I find this piece of information a bit hard to understand. If you don't mind kindly throw more light on it. Are you saying peer-to-peer is not recognized on centralized exchanges?

A peer to peer transactions means there is no mediator. User A transfers directly to User B who receives it and makes payment. There is no third party involved and if there must be to ensure security, it would be an escrow who has limited activity in the transaction.

Ina centralized exchange, User A first has to deposit his funds to the exchange, then transfer it to User B still within the exchange. User B then makes the payment.
At any point during the transaction, the exchange can cancel the transaction and seize the funds.

Yeah, you are right. What topics do you enjoy having on this forum?
Sometimes discussing off the original topic is usually maybe the original topic has been exhausted

If the original topic has been exhausted then the thread should be abandoned and any off topic discussions can have a board created just for it.

There is no harm if the thread stays inactive for a bit, till relevant replies are available to be shared in it.

Hey guys I am still not very clear about how this UEFA nations league work, is it an event that happens every season. Or it has durations.

It happens every two years. In addition to being another competition that European countries can look forward to, it is also an alternate means of qualification for the EURO competition for teams that did not make it through directly.

Many fans and pundits believe it to be just another way to generate some revenue.

...even if you are on a table and people are discussing their wealth, do not be tempted to blow your trumpet.

I think the reason for the confusion is that other readers are associating acting broke to not living in a nice house or not putting on nice clothes so you give up the perception that you do not have any money at all.

In actuality, it is just an advice to keep your financial activities private. No one that does not need to know needs to be aware of how much you earn or what assets you are invested into.

Yes majority of conversations here on the forum is in English that’s quite alright but I think in the near future there should be an implementation of some other language here in the forum.

In the future there would be implementation if there is demand for it. When there is a higher presence of non English speakers, there would be a need for provisions for those speakers to communicate with one another.

Till then, the forum is operating quite fine.

Exactly, people talk about China and Russia believing that privacy coins cannot work there, but it is. I think a lot of people do not know the exact ban that China have placed on crypto, if they do then they would know CRP and Utopia can operate in China. The only downside is in the aspect of awareness, how do we spread to such areas?

There are lots of misinformation on what is going on with Bitcoin in the different parts of the world and the change in legalities across different jurisdiction. In their defense, the laws are changing fast and there are lots of nations to keep up with.

I personally do not think awareness can be openly spread in certain areas as it would bring much attention to the crypto activities from the government and authorities.

Great news. Any privacy update is a plus to Utopia network and private browsing is an integral part of maintaining your anonymity online.

I am at work now and cannot update my client, but would get around doing it when I get off work. Thanks for keeping us up to date here on the forum.

#1967 Re: Questions and Help » Is it possible in the future that Utopia p2p will support DeFi? » 2023-03-21 18:48:37

Utopia does not need to take a tag and call that DeFi; it is already a decentralized system as well as a financial one. The problem with many projects is that they want to conform into small boxes which they think people are shopping for without any regard to the utility.

Utopia as it is ticks all the boxes of a decentralized financial project using the conventional definition.

Yea it’s important to always learn first in other not to lose funds. Utopia p2p CRP Crypton to me is preferable holding, maybe because I am not all that familiar with trading cryptocurrency.

True, knowledge is the most important thing to acquire first when you are trying out something new. Take your time to learn about it and understand the basics, or in some instances, more than the basics before you risk anything in it.

Anyone who goes in without understanding oh how it works is going to get burned.

#1969 Re: General Discussion » Only in English? » 2023-03-21 18:37:55

Discussions on what language the forum operates in should only come up when a language barrier exists and there are those with no knowledge of the language who cannot communicate on the forum, till then there is no demand for other boards and no discrimination against any group of members.

I would definitely support the creation of local boards when the need arises.

Well gambling depends on what sort of gambling, if it’s the game of dice then it need more of luck than less of knowledge but if it’s card games then experience and knowledge has a part to play.

Gambling depends majorly on how the house structures the game. There are some games that are not provably fair and it is impossible to profit across a stretch pf games, regardless of how much you try, so in such situation when you are up against the house, it is best to avoid such platforms.

Dice also has some bit of skill to it for those that have studied the game for a long time.

In the US tax is mandatory or the IRS will have you arrested especially if you have a house. I believe the student will get their fund either.

Tax fund are probably going into the money being used to repay those that were involved in the loss, so it is only fitting that only tax payers are involved in the repayment.

And about tax being mandatory, it is not really necessary for a society to function and it can be structured better than it is now.

I agree with you there. But you don't have to act broke to keep yourself safe and your money. I guess just simply living your life without discussing how much you own in your cryptocurrency wallet will keep you safe.

True, you do not need to act broke to not attract attention to yourself, you just need to go about your business without any comments on your worth. Regardless of how you act people would not be able to estimate your net worth, but once you start making comments on owning bitcoins and having investments people start to attach you with wealth and you become a target.

A $5 wrench attack can undo any security you have protecting your wallet.

#1973 Re: Channels and Groups » channel for writers » 2023-03-21 18:18:24

With the many boards available we should try to remain on topic in our discussions. This thread was created to discuss a channel for writers and get comments on that and maybe bits of replies that would fit into such channel.

I really look forward to sharing minds with similar users on that channel.

Well using centralized exchange when you are comfortable with risking your private details is okay by me but my warning is that when using centralized exchanges or any other exchanges even decentralized you should never leave your coins in there.

Ideally, in a decentralized and peer to peer exchange, your coins should never be in their custody at all, so you cannot leave it there. What you do is link your wallet to your exchange profile and transact that way through smart contracts with the buyer. It gives full autonomy to the exchange users.

A centralized exchange is built to function differently even if they have a peer to peer section.

+1 on this, it would be a great addition if the forum admin makes it possible.

Having a service board would attract lots of skilled members to the forum so they can market their abilities and there would also be a market for those seeking certain services to get them, benefiting everyone.
