Ok! I just made a transaction with a little more than $3 commission (no time to search for other options) when it is confirmed I will write a PM.
I don’t use accelerators, I usually have simple transactions, so simple options are enough for me.
Damn, it seems like there is one output, two inputs and a commission of more than 3 dollars, but for some reason the fee is lower than the recommended 40 satoshi per byte.

So, anyway deadline is january 12?

Tried using a transaction accelerator? ViaBTC is only accelerating 20 free transactions now, but if you are fast, your transaction can be squeezed in.
A fee of 40 sats/vbyte is optimum now, it is all down to how many vbytes your transaction has.

Thank you Trofo for accepting my fee from LC


Not to my recent knowledge but you are the one who said only Japan and South Korea are to the level of one of the worst African teams Cape Verde.


So if you are so confident, then I would love to see a low ranked Asian team play a low ranked African team. Why are you suddenly talking about South Africa again??

I see you talking smack, and then backing down lol come on man focus

Get a Startimes Decorder and Enjoy!

You've dropped some nice inputs but I'm afraid you might get kicked out soon as this thread is only for AFCON pool participants. You can join for as low as 1mbtc

Paid buy ins for following players from their Livecasino campaign funds:
SaintLoup, casperBGD, slaman29 and igebotz

It all depends on your inputs but that sounds way too much. At the moment I paid 20$ for the tx that went on 11 addresses. 3$ for yours sounds about right.

I'm definitely in 
Tomorrow I’ll start paying my fee, as I understand the data on the median Bitcoin commission of 3 dollars should not be trusted and the real fee for the transaction will cost about 10 dollars?
It's quite painful to pay such a commission, and at the moment I only have access to payments in Bitcoin (due to the changed policy regarding the KYC on KuCoin).
What's the deadline? January 12? Maybe on this date I will resolve the issue in the most optimal way.

I expect this edition of the CAF African Cup Of Nations to be more entertaining, intriguing, dramatic and enjoyable than most of the former editions and that's because of the quality of players that'll grace the big football event this time around. Most of the stars of each of the 24 teams that'll be playing in the tournament are star players of their respective European clubs and will want to bring their quality to play which I think will make the tournament even more interesting for both African football fans as well as fans from other continents.

One big challenge most of the locals in may country will face will be where to watch the games as the commonest sitelite tv that was supposed to air the games have already notified their customers that they won't be showing any of the games. But because of how passionate the football fans in my country are, I know they'll still device means to watch the games when the tournament kicks off

Startimes Decorder is available. I just got mine and they are going to be broadcasting the AFCON and it is 200 times less cheaper than what you pay to DSTV/month and for the record if you must make any transactions in Dollar outside the country you can find a trusted source on the forum to pay it for you and refund them in BTC (this is what I've been doing since the ban on our Naira cards).

As strange as it may sound, the entire continent will have to rely on sport broadcasters from Europe and Asia to watch AFCON 2024. For decades, SuperSports has had the whole continent's at our balls, and no single sport channel has dared to oppose it.

Just paid AFCON fee for Harkorede (lucky BSFL bastard), cryptofrka (just bastard) and myself (extra bastard who will win AFCON to recover loses)

Many of the users here will develop an interest if the offer is available, I doubt they can help themselves 

But I agree that the logistics is way to out of the way. Having everything on SuperBru makes it easy to track and organize.

I know the fans are going to be passionate and Twitter will erupt each match-day after the group stages, but then I really can’t say it wouldn’t be just as boring as the last few editions. I’m quite optimistic but to be honest I’m expecting an even more boring one this time around, 85-90% of the games with 0-1 goal as usual after a VAR awarded penalty.

@igebotz, we have one of the shittiest telecommunication and internet services as well, and crude oil services too (since you were driving just a while ago) yet they are all very expensive, should we boycott all these services and immediate needs too because they aren’t being provided as they ought too ? I can’t even pay for Apple Music subscription without being charged at the unofficial price equivalent to USD from Nigerian bank and other supposedly official sources, should I rather deprive myself of the most basic amenities and source of genuine information because the government doesn’t want us to see beyond the 4 corners of the country ? 

As a subscriber, you are also part of the problem.

If the largest African sports broadcaster can obtain the rights to some of Europe's biggest tournaments but can't even secure the rights to show Africa's biggest tournament, what good are they to us?


This will never happen in the foreseeable future, except on PlayStation. Has Thailand ever beaten an African team? They lost to both Angola and South Africa in last two.

There isn't any pool for Asian cup. I was toying with the idea of organizing it as a small brother to this pool with fraction of the awards going there but it isn't even available on Superbru and at this point i don't think it will be. We are getting too close to the start.

If someone knows a site organizing it in similar fashion like Superbru let me know but I don't really think it is feasible making people do another account somewhere for the pool with minimal interest to begin with.

I don't believe this. I would like to see Thailand vs Cape Verde. I am very happy to bet that Thailand would be giving a great great game, you'll be so shocked.


I totally agree with you. I'm not a big football fan, my whole family is mainly cricket but I think foreign people always seem to feel like football is less of culture here. But they never speak from experience.

I saw your Youtubes, many more videos of European footballers who retire now discover South East Asia, and they are really shocked to learn how crazy the football here is. But obviously not for all countries/teams. But I think it's special here also, it's a past midnight culture, I don't think anywhere else in the world is this, maybe Igeabotz is always sleeping when the Asian football fans come out lol

In Asia many people stay up past midnight to watch football, it is a weekly thing. For me I only choose certain times because I must go to work at 5am/6am But many friends play football after work, we are talking around 10pm, then after that go watch football. And then go to work with little sleep every week ( we all work Saturday too).

I cannot dream most Europeans would do this, they even must leave office at 5pm sharp, not a single European colleague comes in on weekend so I can't even expect them to stay up late for football to come to work with little sleep lol

Football culture is different, but not less or more. In Europe you have teams 100+ years old, in Asia our teams go bankrupt, short lifespan so most people only can support national teams.

I will be in your dms about a possible concession.

Is there any pool for the Asian cup from Sportsbet.io? I have searched around but not seen any.

Not participating in the prediction pool but I also like to appreciate sportsbet for sponsorship.

Thank you for adding more relevance to our AFCON here.

I mean what could be more shameful than an African cable satelite not airing the AFCON despite costing a fortune to have their shitty service, and yet we have ecowas leaders and at least the house of senates and representatives in Nigeria, when DSTV cannot even air AIT, and NTA for free, airing national television for free is the barest minimum requirement that should be the prerequisite for a cable that wishes to run its service in any sane country, I suppose.

For me there is just 2 teams from Asia that is interesting to watch - South Korea and Japan. While African teams have more bigger names, but so often watching their games ends with big disappointment. But in general, I don't see big difference between level of Asian and African level. Best indicator is results in World - for both getting out of group is already big achievement. In 2018 just Japan managed to do it. Last World Cup is already different story when we had Japan and South Korea from Asia and Senegal and offcourse Morocco in knockout stages.

Scottish league is biggest mystery, why do they have it on Superbru. In general, this league is all about 4 games in season - Old Firm derby. Rest games like Motherwell - Kilmanrock is difficult to watch.

Not going to argue about it. Sometimes I randomly tune in streams ofsome Japanese or South Korea league games on weekend mornings and damn, what atmosphere they have issomething amazing. But on the other hand, plenty of games of AFC Champions league is played in half empty stadiums.
Ultras in Algeria and Morocco is huge thing andwhat crazy performances they make. I don't know much about African football, but I'm mostly amazed about Raja Casablanca ultras.
Another question is level of football in these regions, but it's not problem to be passionate about game and supporting your team.

Damn, you found us again. I wanted to win something for once 

Kidding aside I wrote about this in BSFL at least twice, but I should do a bit more promo in other threads like PL pool, will do it later today. Mail invites only went to participants of last AFCON pool, automatically from Superbru.

Trofo, did my invite get lost in the mail?
Or you just don't want me dominating another pool
