-snip-

While my loss wasn't huge in the grand scheme of things, it taught me a valuable lesson: I want to create my own fair, reliable, and ultimately the best game ever. Yo, that loss stung, but hey, it ain't the end of the world. Now I'm fired up to build my own game, one that's straight-up fair. Fairness? Check. Trustworthy? Duh. And the user experience? Gonna be smoothest thing this side of butter.

-snip-

Which software stack do you plan to build your game on? Will it run on PHP-MySQL shared hosting? Can you do it without any dependency on Node.js?

3  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [No KYC] Prepaid Cards and Virtual Phone Numbers are available on Stealths on: March 23, 2024, 12:42:40 AM
Service Update: VISA International Prepaid limits have been increased!

👉🏻  We changed fixed amounts to variable, you can purchase any amount, even as low as 1 euro!

👉🏻  Maximum card limit has been increased to €1,500. There is no daily limit, you can purchase multiple cards.

https://stealths.net/product/visa-prepaid-international

Can I use this to sign up for an AWS Free Tier account? If yes, what would be the Cardholder's name?
4  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Is there any way to pay for AWS using Bitcoin? on: January 15, 2024, 08:09:25 PM
If not, then is there any reliable non-KYC Virtual Credit Card service that accepts Crypto? In that case, I may convert BTC to the accepted Crypto and pay for AWS through it.

Please note that, I am looking for non-KYC processes only. KYC processes are already known to me.

Location is outside USA and I need the card only to use AWS Lambda for free as of yet. Paid instances might come later when I want the flexibility to pay with Crypto.
5  Other / Meta / Re: Mixers to be banned on: December 06, 2023, 03:47:04 PM
Proposal 1
Several people seem to be concerned that the current policy will be too disruptive/constraining. How about I make this modification to loosen it a bit: you can direct people to mixers by name (even in something like a "top 10 mixers" topic), as long as:
 - You don't directly post their URLs.
 - It's not a paid ad, and you're not representing a mixer.


Proposal 2
DRAFT - NOT CURRENT POLICY

Starting Jan 1, 2024:
 - Forum accounts that are obviously run by mixers are not allowed. *
 - Mixer announcement threads are not allowed. **
 - Promoting mixers in signatures, avatars, and profile-bios are not allowed.
 - It's not allowed for mixers to do giveaways, sponsorships, bounties, paid posts, or paid ads in posts. If a thread is for paying people to do something for a mixer, then that's also not allowed. **
 - Mixer URLs will be automatically wordfiltered out, but you can still discuss mixers otherwise.
 
* Existing accounts will be banned from posting, but will be allowed to continue sending/receiving PMs for at least a few months so they can settle any business.
 ** Existing threads will be locked and archived.


Proposal 1 is way superior than Proposal 2.

I also have the following question...

What if a domain name provide multiple services, like live price, wallet etc. along with mixing? Will that URL be banned or allowed to stay?

7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ouch, today someone made a transaction with over $500k fee. on: September 10, 2023, 09:20:36 PM
The bitcoin fees market is getting out of control. Someone must've been really in a hurry as they paid BTC19.82 (~$511,000) fee just to send $2k worth.
Jokes aside, probably a very painful mistake. I wonder how's it going to unfold and whether the miner will return it to the unlucky sender.

I doubt it's an act of carelessness, anyone with that kind of a balance would at least know how and where to input the appropriate fees. It could be a way to donate a large sum to the bitcoin miners.

Here's a tx from 2016 that paid a 291.24 btc fee: https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/transactions/btc/cc455ae816e6cdafdb58d54e35d4f46d860047458eacf1c7405dc634631c570d this fee was worth 130k USD at that time as the BTC price was close to $441. Looking back now, this fee is worth 7.5m USD.

There are actually many such stories...

In 2013, Friedcat refunded 200 BTC.

In 2014, BTC Guild refunded 30 BTC.

8  Other / Meta / Proposal for AI Integration with BitcoinTalk forum on: April 30, 2023, 06:19:59 PM
I am excited to present a proposal for integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with the BitcoinTalk forum. As you all know, the BitcoinTalk forum has been around for over a decade and has a massive amount of data stored on it. This data includes discussions, opinions, and insights from the Bitcoin community on various topics related to cryptocurrencies.

However, the vast amount of information on the BitcoinTalk forum can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate, especially for new users. This is where AI comes in. By integrating AI technology, we can create a more user-friendly experience for both new and existing users.

The proposed project aims to use AI algorithms to analyze and categorize the forum's data, allowing users to easily search and find information on specific topics. The AI would also be able to identify patterns in the data, which could provide valuable insights into the Bitcoin community's sentiment and trends.

Some potential applications of the AI could include:
  • Predicting market trends and identifying potential price movements based on sentiment analysis of the forum's discussions
  • Detecting and filtering out spam and fraudulent activity on the forum
  • Providing personalized recommendations and content to users based on their activity and interests
  • Generating insights and reports for traders, investors, and other cryptocurrency enthusiasts

The AI could be accessed through an API or a web interface, and could be integrated with other tools and platforms in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Overall, the integration of AI technology with the BitcoinTalk forum has the potential to greatly improve the user experience and enhance the community's ability to share knowledge and insights. I would love to hear your thoughts on this proposal and any ideas you may have for its implementation.

List of on chain gambling game.

I asked the above to OpenAI ChatGPT3 and got the following response...

Quote
Here are some examples of on-chain gambling games:

    SatoshiDice - One of the first on-chain gambling games, SatoshiDice was a simple dice game where players bet on the outcome of a roll. It was built on the Bitcoin blockchain.

    BitKong - A game inspired by Donkey Kong, BitKong is a simple on-chain gambling game where players try to climb a tower by correctly guessing which direction to go next.

    Bustabit - A popular on-chain gambling game where players bet on a multiplier that increases with each bet. If the player cashes out before the multiplier crashes, they win their bet multiplied by the current multiplier.

    Bitvest - An on-chain gambling site that offers a variety of games, including Plinko, Dice, and Bit Spin.

    Chain-Bet - A gambling game built on the Litecoin blockchain where players guess the last digit of a block hash and bet on it.

    BitRun - An on-chain gambling game that lets players bet on the outcome of a virtual horse race.

    LuckyBit - A simple on-chain gambling game where players bet on the outcome of a coin toss.

Note that the legality of on-chain gambling games may vary depending on the jurisdiction. It's important to research and understand the laws and regulations in your area before participating in any online gambling activities.

Suggest a virtual crypto debit card without KYC.

I asked the above to OpenAI ChatGPT3 and got the following response...

Quote
As an AI language model, I cannot recommend any specific virtual crypto debit card or service without KYC, as KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) regulations are in place to prevent illegal activities such as fraud and money laundering. Using a virtual crypto debit card without KYC can be risky, and it is important to comply with applicable regulations to ensure the legality and safety of any financial transactions. There are many virtual crypto debit card services available, but most of them require some form of KYC and AML compliance.

Good news coming from CoinDebit!
They just released beta for their new virtual cards but they currently work only for territory of United States or with US IP address.
This phase is done for limited number of people who applied for testing phase and they must be approved by CoinDebit team.
Official release of new cards should happen after this testing is finished, and I hope they will expand card support for rest of the world.
Any idea when will they be available for rest of the world again?

Indeed. Lately, I was checking NOSTR, a protocol for decentralized social network. Created an account on NOSTR Rocks. This feels somewhat like early days of Bitcoin.
There is very small amount of registered accounts in Nostr that it doesn't make any sense for anyone to move there, and theymos won't start using any social media just because of this.
I think that Mastodon has biggest Bitcoin community, but it is still insignificant if we look at big picture, and it just create eco chamber for small circle of people.
Point of any social media related with Bitcointalk would be to reach wider audience and different people, not geeks who already know about Bitcointalk forum.
Sirius, an early Bitcoin developer and erstwhile owner of BitcoinTalk.org, is now building a decentralized social media platform called Iris.to, which is running on NOSTR protocol - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=130137.0. Iris.to has in-built payment using Bitcoin Lightning Network. Things surrounding NOSTR is changing very fast. Do not miss out or you may lose out. Wink

P.S.
If services like ChipMixer operated based on blinded bearer certificates, then they'd be in many ways superior to both of the above mixing methods. Someone should work on this.
How exactly is it possible to obfuscate the connection between i/p & o/p for Mixer operator using blinded bearer certificate?
With other mixer it would be hard.
With ChipMixer it is possible. We already remove onchain connection between inputs and outputs. Blinded bearer certificates would hide it from us. For example you deposit and instead of chip you get voucher. You swap voucher for blinded bearer certificate. After some time you redeem blinded bearer certificate for chip. ChipMixer cannot link certificate they give you with certificate you redeem because it is blinded.
How to exchange Chips as Blinded Bearer Certificates without trusting a third party for escrow? Also, vouchers need to be validated as honest one by some trusted third party too. We do not have a smart contract here to automate the whole process. No?
16  Other / Meta / Re: theymos! Please use the forum account on Twitter to tweet on: December 18, 2022, 09:07:46 PM
I did the opposite: I deleted my account.
Stop making Twitter important. It's not.

You are the second person on the forum who admitted it publicly (besides me), although I may have missed that someone else did it too. I respect everyone's personal attitude towards what is currently happening with Twitter, but I do not want to be part of such freedom of expression, and luckily millions think the same.

If someone wants a similar platform, there are many alternatives, you just have to look for them.

Indeed. Lately, I was checking NOSTR, a protocol for decentralized social network. Created an account on NOSTR Rocks. This feels somewhat like early days of Bitcoin.

I guess, instead of continuing with the BitcoinTalk account on Twitter, it is better if theymos creates a NOSTR account and post Public Key through the Twitter handle. Then a pinned post or factoid or news addition on BitcoinTalk for others to follow the same handle on NOSTR would be great for this new decentralized social network's growth as well.

Do NOT argue on Twitter. Let's build the Future.

@Ratimov You may consider adding tradeogre.com & altquick.com to this list.

Please DYOR before adding.
18  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Is ChipMixer a probable HoneyPot? on: December 11, 2022, 10:19:26 PM
For those interested in alternatives, check out CoinJoin tools like Wasabi Wallet.

So you would rather encourage people to use a service that is willingly embracing blacklists and demonstrably in bed with blockchain analysis firms over one you simply have an unproven theory about? 

I guess if you have any doubts about whether your tinfoil hat is working, you could just dunk your head in molten lead.   Roll Eyes

Indeed. Also, I think, any coin-join implementation is not good for high volume mixing. I think, choice of mixing method should be something like the following...


If MixingAmont < 1 BTC
  use some CoinJoin wallet

If 10 BTC > MixingAmont > 1 BTC
  use XMR on some non-KYC exchange

If 100 BTC > MixingAmont > 10 BTC
  use centralized mixing service

If MixingAmont > 100 BTC
  split it into multiple i/p below 100 BTC before mixing and use any of the methods above as per MixingAmont

But it makes you wonder why CM did it.
To <split> and <merge> Smiley
Care to explain the advantage of using BTC0.128 over BTC0.1 to split and merge?

0.128/2 => 0.064/2 => 0.032/2 => 0.016/2 => 0.008/2 => 0.004/2 => 0.002/2 => 0.001

0.1/2 => 0.05/2 => 0.025/2 => 0.0125/2 => 0.00625/2 => 0.003125 => 0.0015625/2 => 0.00078125

Both works. No?

How exactly is it possible to obfuscate the connection between i/p & o/p for Mixer operator using blinded bearer certificate? I mean, how can the final design of a transaction be done without the address that is going to have the spending right? And as soon as that address is included, connection between i/p & o/p gets revealed to the Mixer operator. No?
