Hi guys,

I love playing at your site... great job.
One problem, when I press the dicebot nothing happens...
I'm using chrome the latest version

Thanks !

Hey there, I am also using the latest version of Chrome (and even latest version of Firefox if I am on another computer) and the dicebot works fine for me. Do you see any error message pop up if you click the button to start? Just make sure your balance is enough and that payout/chance setting is within the limits allowed.
10022  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Bounty stake rewards, what does it mean? on: May 31, 2018, 05:50:46 PM

Yup, all is in there. I think a lot of newbies and even veterans fail to understand that stakes simply means a share, and you can be almost certain that nowadays, projects only determine that share AFTER ICO to see how much they raised. And this is where the problem arises. IF the project raises enough to meet soft or even hard caps, all are happy. But we've now seen so many ICOs fail to even reach soft cap, and they change their minds about distribution totals, making stakes meaningless in terms of actual receipt.

I distinctly think I recall it was a Turkish mosque also in London that started this trend but they were only accepting 10,000 pounds sterling in donations, and only accepting Ether. I guess it's really going to be a Muslim trend if they can ever determine globally that it is permissible/halal to do this. Not sure why religious people would want to deny it when it is a far better system than interest based fiat. Maybe soon Jewish people in Israel will start accepting Bitcoin for their wall. haha
10024  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why is bounty not an investment? on: May 31, 2018, 07:02:43 AM
Hell yeah it's an investment. Faucets even are investments. So are HYIPs. This is what people don't get. They all think they can get free money, just by spending hours looking for things that have no financial cost. Losing Time in the process. I look back on many years ago when I used to be like this. Watching stupid videos to get half a cent. Clicking and surfing on ads to get 1 cent perhaps after 5 minutes. If I spent all those hours doing actual work, I could be so productive and make so much more.
10025  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: "Hard Cap and Soft Cap" on: May 30, 2018, 03:21:27 PM
What is the difference of hard cap to soft cap? Did we base on this if we are going to invest in altcoins? Share your comments.

Nice question! Soft cap is a minimum amount a company needs to run a project while hard cap is necessary for the company to expand. The higher the money the company receives, the higher its profits. And it is necessary a company meet its soft cap as this is the only way the Company can continue its project.

This is probably the most accurate description for ICO projects now, although it is quite sad to me that soft cap is the term used, instead of something more closer to the truth such as "minimum fundraising target". Cap by definition simply just means an upper limit, so soft cap should be the "first limit" or the "initial limit" that helps a company gauge interest.

And the idea that companies can only continue projects if soft cap is met is ridiculous. You either have a team with a good idea and want to do it, or you don't.
10026  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: 200 Xrp wallets w/ min reserve of 20xrp - taking 40% of market price on: May 30, 2018, 10:42:16 AM
The accounts will be "rekeyed". It's very simple, basically there will be a new private key bound to the account then the master key gets disabled. This secures the account from anyone else having access. Look up "regular key" on the ripple forums.

Ah okay, I get it now. Thanks for that. It still doesn't offer the security that you will in fact give them rekeyed if someone hands over the money. Still requires trust, and no offence, but almost 0.1 worth of Bitcoin is not going to be worth trusting anyone on this forum. My offer is 0.05 BTC if you engage an escrow also staff/default trust escrow. We can split escrow costs. That's still about $500 risk for XRP I don't really like Smiley
10027  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Smart invest on altcoins ? on: May 30, 2018, 09:29:14 AM
I'd suggest doing some bounties/airdrops and such before investing. Get your feet wet with freebie coins before spending any real money on this. It'll also give you experience with how the exchanges work... and you can do more research in the meanwhile.

I would suggest not to do this. If you really want to test, spend something you can afford to lose on coins you are confident in after doing all the research you can. This freebie attitude is really a waste of time, and that to me is worse than investing. You could end up spending days and weeks doing nothing but shilling and making up stories about alts to get a free tokens but then, that makes it not free!

Spend that time better learning and earning actual money, then put some into actual investment, buy the coins.
10028  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin regaining dominance. on: May 30, 2018, 07:25:21 AM
I don't know why BTC keeps it's dominance over other coins. Maybe BTC is the first one so people invest on it more. Maybe the projects involved with BTC is getting stronger. Or maybe BTC is just a juggernaut by itself. But i think, if given time, other coins will catch up.

Self explanatory, by so many things, I would think. You want to come and talk about crypto? Best place is BitcoinTalk. You want to trade on an exchange? Most traded pair is Bitcoin. Want to buy things? Invest in ICOs? First choice currency is Bitcoin. You can't escape Bitcoin if you talk about crypto. Even if market dominance in this terms is reduced, Bitcoin will be the most used crypto for a long, long time. And it isn't even trying.
10029  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: 200 Xrp wallets w/ min reserve of 20xrp - taking 40% of market price on: May 29, 2018, 05:00:39 PM
Why don't you transfer all of these wallets into 1 only? I think if you do that people will be more interested about your deal Smiley.

Beside how if you still can access to these wallets after these wallets being sold? I don't think I can trust you Grin.

Anw, try to transfer all of your XRP into 1 wallet only then sell XRP for people only cause they also have their own XRP wallet Smiley

He just explained that all of them have 20 XRP inside, which is the minimum reserve. These can't be transferred out until the limit is lowered. I have no idea about when that happens as I only trade Ripple for speculation... but the word on the street is that it is going to happen this year. I personally don't believe it ever will, or at least, not entirely.

@OP. Your only hope it to engage a trusted escrow to hold these wallets for you until a buyer is identified. No one's going to buy anything you can't prove, or as use points out above, that you could easily just take over at will.

The escrow would then probably have to be the one to transfer out all these XRP to the buyer and release the BTC to you. I would be interested actually if you could do this. So basically, you won't get anything until XRP devs lower that reserve.
10030  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The best wallet for cryptocurrency storage on: May 29, 2018, 12:19:39 PM
My god, one guy talks about hadith, and the responder talks about blockbuster. Are we all in this forum now being held ransom to bots or shitposters, or am I being too harsh?

In case I'm being too harsh. OP wants a multicrypto wallet. Check out Jaxx and Exodus. There are others, Jaxx has security issues, and Exodus is not as lightweight. I don't mind Exodus though, all my major currencies, pretty interface. What else do you want?
10031  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin cannot be a global currency on: May 29, 2018, 08:33:03 AM
Bitcoin will be the only currency for internet payments replacing credit cards so in next five years we may see bitcoin is single largest currency on bitcoin

Bitcoin can still be a global currency in the next years to come, though right now bitcoin has limited features and is only good for investment, i still believe for its promising future waiting.
Bitcoin is the only currency which can be the currency of the internet, we are watching bitcoin being use as way of payments for online, even being in limit bitcoin is wide enough and almost every state of life bitcoin has high potential and growing energy, bitcoin is still global currency because bitcoin is being use as source of payment almost in every corner of the world, there are high possibilities to see bitcoin as global currency, it will take only a few years to announce bitcoin official currency all over the world.

It's not the only one that can be the internet's currency, I wouldn't agree there. I still find it way too useful to use other forms of instant payment (mobile credit for example?) for things that are not essential or don't require the privacy or security that Bitcoin can promise. Of course, I also think it is the most suitable one to be used everywhere now. I bet you could exchange Bitcoin in any country you visit, but not any of other hundreds and thousands of currency, whether fiat, digital or crypto. That's how powerful Bitcoin is.
10032  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere? on: May 29, 2018, 07:42:49 AM
Because it is commonly known as vice, at least, regulatory speaking. Gambling, alcohol, prostitution. The illegal versions of it, anyway. In fact, almost anything that can be illegal, is portrayed negatively almost everywhere. That's just how the world is. Just look at Bitcoin. Apart from the forums and some media, it's generally still portrayed negatively.

Accept that some things can never be accepted.
10033  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🎾 ⚽ Ready for the French Open and World Cup 2018? 🎾 ⚽ The Future of Betting on: May 28, 2018, 11:34:12 AM
Hi Nitro. First time I have ever seen this. My IP seems to have also been banned so I cannot go in and bet or even view any odds now. I know you say to contact support, but I would rather just wait - my account IP will often change as I usually log in from dynamic IP so whitelisting IP is most likely useless. Can't you guys just whitelist old accounts? You know a lot of us access gambling from restricted countries so it is very likely you can see people on recycled IPs from our "providers".

10034  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Digibyte Beats Bitcoin on: May 28, 2018, 11:05:47 AM
I love these kinds of hunches, love it. I've also got a hunch Digibyte, on the way to "beating" Bitcoin, will shock and awe everyone by the sheer number of people using it. I see online Digibyte casinos even, which I guess must be raking in all the wagers. When alts can see even 1% of their market cap being used in volume OTHER than trading, then they can start talking. Looks like it's still profitable to shill after all these years.
10035  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How has past few months affected your gambling? on: May 28, 2018, 07:53:30 AM
I gamble with Bitcoin only at the moment, and a very small amount of ETH which one of my sites accepts. I have to say since all the limits there did not change, I did not change my habits. Always played in BTC values, and yes at the back of my mind I am thinking of dollars but at the end of the day this just means in the peak I was gambling two or three times more in dollars than I am now.

Small effect on thinking, but no effect at all I would say on gambling.
10036  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA WORLD CUP 2018? on: May 28, 2018, 06:07:08 AM
No doubt that Germany has a strong team as they are the cup holder of FIFA for four times but still we cannot ignore Brazil just by seeing the results of Last final. I know Brazil lost against Germany for 7-1 but I think you people are forgetting this that the play maker of Brazil; Neymar Jr was inured badly and wasn’t playing but this time he is also present in the team, so it will not be that easy for Germany. 

I want to make one bet before World Cup starts and it will just be a quick guess to put some money down that I can forget about and maybe win at the end of the tournament. Brazil is always favorites no matter what. Germany are not the same team they used to be, and we have guys like Ozil (of Turkish descent) who will now not even get all of the German support due to his Erdogan appearance.

Brazil to reach final at 5/2 and 12/5 is most of the odds offered so that is my bet.
10037  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Travelling with Cryptocurrency? Do you declare it at immigration ? on: May 27, 2018, 05:52:40 PM
There is a minimum threshold one is allowed to travel beyond immigration border. In my country , you can't travel with more than $10,000;Unless you document and declare it.  Do you think I need to declare my cryptocurrency to the immigration? OR should I keep mute. My fear is I might be charge with money laundering if I later exchange my crypto at my destination and the authorities found out. Any body with experience to share with me.

Don't be unnecessarily stupid. First of all, you do not have to declare any of it. You will just be laughed at or treated like a criminal. If the rules do not state you have to declare, then don't. Don't be a wise guy.

Also, why would you need to carry any of it with you anyway? Carry your private key or seed if you REALLY want to.
10038  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Reasons of Crypto Current Price fall on: May 27, 2018, 05:11:10 PM
So, Mt Gox whale selling off + South Korea authorities clampdown + US Dept of Justice scrutinizing everything crypto = 20% crash in prices? If this is the worst that happens after all these threats come together, then we should be in for a real ride upwards when even 1 good thing happens in the near future. Come on guys, there is no reason or rhyme, we should have understood that by now. Just another day in crypto office.
10039  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you know any ICO failure example?? on: May 26, 2018, 10:46:15 AM
Look at the old threads in the ANN section and token ANNs and you'll get your answers there. In fact, list all new ANNs from today until the end of the year and have a look on 1 January 2019. I guarantee you'll quickly find the first failures. This year will also see the failures of many ICOs from last year. We've seen plenty of huge projects already fail in deadlines, much less products. Monaco comes to mind. Hyped to high degrees. Cards gotten delayed and delayed. The list goes on.
10040  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Ethereum Paradox on: May 26, 2018, 08:52:33 AM
Wow, what a find. And this thread was made almost around the time I first started learning about Ethereum.

The ending point is the chief point of all my arguments against Ethereum as well. Yes, I have learnt to respect it. Yes, I have even bought a little to add to my "holdings". Yes, I can even marvel at some of the achievements.

But I cannot forget that every time I consider it long term, I ask myself: can I trust that Vitalik is smarter than Satoshi? Or. Can I trust Vitalik?
