10221  Economy / Gambling / Re: UniversalBitGoldLottery.com |"Where dreams become true"|The highest chances. on: April 10, 2018, 04:42:03 PM
Just my comment: Unlimited tickets doesn't translate to highest chances of winning. The best lotteries can only be determined when you calculate the total prize winnable (jackpot) after commissions. Freebitco.in also has a free lottery with unlimited tickets and a pool that's growing as people buy. I would say the chances there are quite decent if you take into account you can just collect rolls and points for lottery tickets!
10222  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Coins aren't stock...or am I missing something? on: April 10, 2018, 12:50:05 PM
You are missing a lot.  I think you need to read up on what coins are actually out there.  There are some that have no utility but you are plain wrong in stating that the number is 99%.  Most people that are investing in altcoins are hoping that the price will rise.  No one is doing it for the dividends.  Maybe for the staking, but not the dividends.

Sorry, have to disagree here. I own two alt tokens for dividends. Which I have already been paid out for in one, and awaiting the other. OP is correct in saying that we shouldn't see them as stocks. These dividend tokens CAN BE compared to stocks, in that they represent some form of dividend distribution. But not company ownership or voting rights (but some alt projects have this actually).

You should look up coins that have already paid out dividends or some form of profit sharing.
10223  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is it wiser to invest on Bitcoin or on Ethereum? on: April 10, 2018, 08:11:03 AM
I've read an article that discusses things like this (sorry without link : because i don't remember). As I read in that article, it's provides a solution to buy ethereum. Because stock bitcoin stayed a little and limited, different with ethereum it have a lot of stock and its unlimited. So it can be deduced more wisely if invested into ethereum.

Just to clarify, what you mean is supply. Bitcoin has a finite supply and Ethereum doesn't (but understand this better and you see that supply actually isn't realistically stuck at any point for either. Bitcoin is divisible to 8 decimals and Ethereum isn't going to be super mineable forever even now developers are fixing the algorithm.

In any case, ridiculous to say you're choosing based on inflationary and deflationary values. You might like Dogecoin best then?
10224  Economy / Gambling / Re: Pornhub Casino now accepting bitcoin and many other cryptocurrency! ph.casino on: April 10, 2018, 08:00:07 AM
Read the scam accusation against Pornhub but I think the full picture isn't available. Porn is the biggest profit making industry online, talking about trillions. Pornhub itself makes hundreds of millions. And now they add casino so that's two big industries in one place.

To scam a player of 6k doesn't make sense, especially when they paid him out 15k already. Need more information on that user. There is no casino that doesn't have a scam accusation.
10225  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Litecoin to 400$ on: April 09, 2018, 06:19:14 PM
Litecoin has been up 900% since 1 year ago https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/litecoin
ok if it actually hits $400 we need a full blown bull market
market like this wont sustin it

Something people conveniently forget when talking down crypto! Most of the established coins have been here for a long time, in Litecoin we're talking almost about the oldest major alt around. But yeah, market like this won't see $400, not especially after the recent bad news about Litepay. And to see Charlie Lee himself apologize for the hype, that was sad. Litecoin really was one of the less hyped alts and that's kinda why I liked it in the first place.
10226  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Bountyhunters, be careful with twitter accounts on: April 09, 2018, 03:11:30 PM
You sure about that? I'm pretty sure verified accounts can still promote their own projects, but I guess it's better safe than sorry. I mean, how do you ban people like Roger Ver, Vitalik Buterin and Charlie Lee? Or even educators like Andreas M Antonopoulos? These guys are legit (not that I am supporting either) and the crackdowns I think are only on suspicious accounts.
10227  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Which one ? bch or btg on: April 09, 2018, 12:30:46 PM
None of the Bitcoin forks will ever be taken seriously. That's what I think. If you really want, you should choose Bitcoin Cash. They've got an army of people with money to sink to ensure its "success". All the forkcoin claims of being "true to Satoshi" or "true to bitcoin" are false. They just wanted their free pound of cryptoflesh. They got it. And their followers helped make them rich.
10228  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-04-09] Spain's Tax Authorities Seek Crypto User Names and Bank Accounts on: April 09, 2018, 08:34:38 AM
This isn't something to be afraid of by the way. Tax authorities frequently do this in every country, it's basically their job. Crypto might be in the news now but they probably make up 1% of less (I'm just speculating). I have a family member who works with tax related agencies and they literally do this every day for hundreds of accounts. And that's just in a smaller country perhaps with not as much tax exertion as Spain.
10229  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is it wiser to invest on Bitcoin or on Ethereum? on: April 08, 2018, 07:19:36 PM
No question that Bitcoin is the wiser investment - for the very foreseeable future. It's the first mover. That's all you need to know. And this isn't like an internet company (that was itself new but was just like any other company, except online and doing things with the internet. This is the father of crypto and blockchain, something that even today banks and people are struggling to accept and comprehend.

Time will tell if Ethereum will convince people that it is superior to Bitcoin, but that's many, many years away.
10230  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Survival of the fittest on: April 08, 2018, 06:36:19 PM
I think at the end of 2020 only the fittest coins will survive the cryptocurrency market. By fit, I mean the most use cases such as Ethereum. There will be market leaders like Ethereum, Bitcoin and others. And along with them the coins which serve to a whole particular industry which have already accepted the coin for their use will survive and rebuild the whole crypto world. 
I'm not so sure about this, yes most coins will disappear, but that is exactly what is happening right now and yet with have more than one thousand coins even if 90% of those coins disappeared what guarantees you that more coins are not going to appear in that time period? The truth is we must accept that for a very long time there are going to be thousands of projects that are not worth our time and there are trying to get our money just to enrich themselves.

I don't think he is saying that no new coins will come. Coins have died over the years, for sure. But this year will see a lot of ICO coins "die" or at least show signs of failure. By this, I mean that all those projects that raised millions will have been identifying targets on roadmap objectives this year and... if not met, their supporters will realize things aren't so healthy.

New coins will always enter, even more this year than ever before. But the days of every alt eventually growing will be past. And then we'll have to be much more careful.
10231  Economy / Marketplace / Re: In order for crypto industry to grow, we need real and trusted stablecoin on: April 08, 2018, 02:45:02 PM
So, how many stablecoins do we have now out of the 1600 or so cryptocurrencies out there? I know Tether really well and you could probably credit them a little for helping the industry to grow - giving people and bears alike the chance to short bitcoin as they please. I've seen at least two out of Asia recently, but their idea kind of sucks since it also engages some kind of "overseer" organization to help steer prices towards stability.

My "stable" coin will always be good old Bitcoin. Or how about Doge (joke?) which never strays from a 100 satoshi range;)
10232  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🎲 DiceSites.com - List of dice sites w/ statistics, graphs & verifiers on: April 08, 2018, 12:59:01 PM
Normally Nitrogen doesn't have that much wagered, only since ~10 days or so. I understand that looks fishy together with that specific bet amount, but there is actually a good reason Smiley It is currently EV+ to bet on Nitrogen because of their jackpot. You need to have a 7 in the result for 13 times in a row. So on average you would lose the following amount:

1/(0.3439^13) = 1062629.12315 rolls.
1062629.12315 *0.001*0.01 = BTC10.626

While the jackpot right now is BTC18.74, so the player has a positive edge to bet!

Note there is a minimum bet amount which explains the bets you are seeing Wink
Quote
You must have a bet amount and a profit amount of at least 0.001 for your roll to count towards the jackpot.

TBH, I am actually considering to even put up a bot myself lol.

I think it is pretty common to see the same player or players making the same bets, especially when dice bots are in play. Almost every site I visit has their regulars, although they come and go, some return after ages, some move on elsewhere. Huge JPs like that do tend to attract as they're +EV like you said. Some admins also openly gamble on their casinos, I see nothing wrong with that, although others might say conflict of interest, it proves to me the site is good enough for admins to play at.

Keep up the good comments, admin. Thread is almost 4 years old!
10233  Economy / Gambling / Re: Pornhub Casino now accepting bitcoin and many other cryptocurrency! ph.casino on: April 08, 2018, 09:20:44 AM
Wow. They are going really big with this. Already so popular, I see them everywhere in Memes online and now a casino to attract us not yet attracted by ass (literal). Sportsbook too, will have to spend a bit of time to check their odds. Just I'm not sure if it's SFW yet. Or SFH for that matter. PH had a great referral program so I wonder if it extends to casino? Come on gamblers, check them out and let us know.
10234  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: I hate to use the clique but how the hell has this stayed under the radar? on: April 07, 2018, 06:49:44 PM
First off. You mean cliche, not clique. But anyway, everyone understood the meaning.

On the coin, I would be very careful with all these claims now. Similar to Ripple, which has a technology and a token, the technology being adopted and used does not necessarily translate into a value increase for the token/currency. Also, the UN is a big organization. One small project in Tunisia is not the same as the UN HQ official declaration. Small projects every day use new technologies, usually at very small project levels without official endorsement from UN as the funders.

Just saying:)
10235  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Altcoin is the best way of investment now? on: April 07, 2018, 11:21:51 AM
Pay attention to recent statistics. Pay attention to your own research. Only a precious handful of altcoins performed better than Bitcoin over the past three months. So anyone who though altcoins were the way to go during the peak will have realized that they would have fared much better if they just held Bitcoin. Even the so-called established ones like ETH have plummeted worse than BTC. My favorite, LTC, which performed better than BTC in 2017, has also suffered a lot especially after the recent news on Litepay.

Alts are good diversification. Not the best.
10236  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: [PSA] Never Let Strangers Setup Your Masternode [HIJACKING COINS] on: April 07, 2018, 08:51:38 AM
Sure enough, with crypto you've got a whole majority of people who want to use it, but can't be bothered to learn how to use it. I mean, even simple wallets a lot of people prefer to trust some website to hold their coins for them. Strange that they feel safer this way. I'll be the first to admit I've got no clue about setting up my own masternodes, but then I've never wanted to set one up. I'm real sure there's enough documentation to help people do it on their own.

Good service though, if you don't need access. Any numbers on how many have used you?
10237  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: urgent: we hire community manager, (can newbie); paid 50$ per day on: April 07, 2018, 07:41:58 AM
Having paid for $50 a day in our country is more likely having work equivalent to supervisor in 4star hotel, a shift engineer in a maintenance department,. It manager, I doubt that you can just offer like this job to anyone with out prior knowledge or have experience on the field.. Something 's not right here..

Then you might be shocked to learn the minimum hourly wage in many countries. It is around $10 per hour for some, and you can even in the US get $20 for simple skilled work like welding. They know this so the $50 a day translates to $6 something per hour (for 8 hour normal days). You can bet you will spend more hours than this for them. And it is still cheaper than hiring an actual skilled person.

So no, it does not seem "not right". It is perfect for remote workers in low-income countries. Unfair as a "human right" but this is capitalism.
10238  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: April 06, 2018, 07:11:48 PM
The current Monero price is approximately $313, however, the projection to the end of this year is the amazingly increasing number of $650. In the same line, a five-year forecast projects the price up to $4000, which proves a great appreciation of the coin from now on

Please share the location of this $313 XMR market Smiley

In fact, let me do one better, I'll sell you as much Monero as you want for 10% off that current $313. Maybe even 15% or more if I like you a lot. And make sure you keep me bookmarked too, I'll probably also be able to offer you discounts for the end of year price of $650 and the 5-year forecast of $4000. I'm bullish on Monero. Not sure I'm THAT bullish!
10239  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is it profitable to go for crypto-currency mining now than before?? on: April 06, 2018, 03:18:09 PM
Hello guys please can we share our view whether it is profitable  to go for crypto-currency mining now or just hold till the price begins to gain it's upward trend!!! Wink

I was pretty tempted too, seeing as how cheap some hashrates are getting now. But funny enough, the miners aren't leaving or slowing down, and with current prices, probably best bet is to mine super cheap coins no one wants now, but that's all risk and hassle in my opinion.

Better to just get the cheap bags of alts now. They may still get cheaper sure, but no use to wait longer and get caught by a sudden spike. You never know, stranger things have happened in crypto.
10240  Economy / Gambling / Re: BITDICE - 🎲🎲🎲 Treasure Chest Is Back! 🎰🎰🎰 on: April 06, 2018, 03:04:32 PM
Hey Box, Alex...  I think I brought this up before, but if you guys are interested in having a player vs player dice game for the site, do you guys think Yatzy would be a perfect game?

It can also be played Solitaire afaik...


I like this!

There are a lot of Asian dice games (pvp) too if you feel Western games are too common. You never know what happens if you introduce something so new. Yes, old people like to play it. Back home, the news almost every week you see police catching people for playing it. They bet a lot of money too.

Crypto gambling does need more PvP I think. It's just fun to bet against someone else.
