1061  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Is Not Crypto, The SEC Confirms on: August 04, 2023, 05:52:38 AM
I think the main difference between Bitcoin and Alt coins are this....

There are not one identifiable "creator" of this technology, so there are no single authority that can claim ownership of it. The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto has not be "verified" and this "entity" (for the lack of a better description) ...cannot control it's destiny. (There is no leader or figure head to call the shots..)

There are also no pre-mine that benefited a small amount of "creators" of this technology. (Satoshi's coins are untouched)  Grin

So, you block gambling related advertisements on your browser, but you are still bombarded with gambling related advertisements on other social media platforms. (Twitter / TickTock / Instagram /Facebook )

You have to remember that all of these media platforms are running algorithms to detect your interest and they will then send advertisements via that platform to target that specific interest.  Roll Eyes

So when is it Stake.com's official birthday? I see the domain was first registered in 1998-07-31 ......but the site launched in 2017?  The Stake.org is still available for $170 000, if anyone is interested.  Roll Eyes

I saw someone saying in chat that it was in August of 2017, so I reckon that we are going to have a birthday bash this month? Let me be the first to congratulate them, if this is true.  Grin Grin Grin

The birthday is used to be celebrated on August 8th (the same date as the creation date of this ANN thread) every year if I remember it correctly, so it should be next Tuesday in my timezone. Will be there something special in this upcoming birthday celebration? The hype of the birthday is used to be started a week or even a month before the date in the past years but this year seems to be different. Less than a week but I do not see a sign for great celebration.

Last Saturday on stream Eddie didn't even know the birthday was coming, so we cannot expect much from this one for sure, even though the post monthly email said something about a "bigger monthly" .

I only believe it when I see it though.

Guess the big celebration will be some 5-10$ codes with at least 10k wager requirement as always.  Cry

Eddie does not know what are going on with the "day-2-day" activities... most of the time. He has a marketing team dealing with the promotions and bonuses and people running the site.

I once told him about the "cheaters" in the daily Slot hunt and he did not even know what the daily Slot hunt was.  Roll Eyes I think his main focus has shifted to boosting and growing "Kick.com" now..... and Stake.com are just the cow that are being milked to fund his new pet project.  Roll Eyes
1064  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It's safe to say - gambling is a guy thing. on: August 03, 2023, 07:28:02 AM
I disagree with you...

I know several female gamblers and women that I have met in online gambling chat rooms. I also know of several female gamblers that had gambling problems and they stole money from their employer and had to go to jail for that.

Just go to a "Brick n mortar" casino and observe the people there and you will quickly see that there are a bunch of women gambling at those casinos. A lot of them are older couples that are doing this for entertainment and excitement in a safe environment.  Wink
1065  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My new favorite betting method. on: August 03, 2023, 07:16:42 AM
This method will fail like all the Martingale methods that failed in the past. The thing is.... the +1 multiplier can quickly add up to a significant loss in a long losing streak. This will wipe out all gains from previous wins that you had with this method.

It is very true, when they say the house always wins, because the math is working against us. I can say from personal experience that I have tried most of the variants of this strategy and I have never succeeded.  Tongue
1066  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is it possible to invest in bitcoin to build a country whose economy is down? on: August 03, 2023, 07:00:42 AM
The problem is this :

Those governments control and manipulate their local economy and their local currency. They will not want to legalize Bitcoin as legal tender, because it is a threat to their control.

So, the citizens of those countries should protect their wealth from their own governments actions and failures, by buying some bitcoins with a more stable value. (Hyper inflation kills most struggling Fiat currencies)  Roll Eyes
1067  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My Bitcoin was stolen from Atomic wallet on the 3rd of June on: August 03, 2023, 05:48:35 AM
I do not want to sound unsympathetic, but we have always said... " Not your keys, not your coins "

DO NOT trust third parties with your Private keys, because they are juicy targets for hackers or insiders inside the company use their position to assist the hackers to steal the coins.

I hope they get it sorted for you.... and that you will get some money back in the future...  Tongue
1068  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Coinbase CEO Says SEC Told It To Delist Everything But Bitcoin: Report on: August 03, 2023, 05:34:37 AM
Now you should start asking the most important question.... How invested are the decision makers and the government in Bitcoin, if they single it out like that? Surely all Crypto currencies are the same... it is only the token and some of the "parameters" that are different, but it is mostly driven on the same principle.  Roll Eyes

They are either invested in Bitcoin or they have plans for Bitcoin in the future.... just mark my words. The SEC is just the tool.... there are higher powers behind them, controlling them like a puppet.  Roll Eyes
1069  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Mixin Safe: A Convenient and Decentralized Multisig + MPC + Timelock solution on: August 02, 2023, 06:25:45 AM
Can you find a solution to substitute "Mixin Messenger" with a more well known platform? You say you use it to create the wallet... but will Electrum not do the same thing?

It is about time that someone figure out a more user-friendly method to use Multisig and timelock features. In any way, I will monitor and follow this thread... it has potential to be one of the good solutions in the Bitcoin space.  Wink

It just needs to be more decentralized and Open-source for transparency.... preferably without revealing your private telephone number.   Tongue
1070  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do wager affect outcomes in any provably fair games on: August 02, 2023, 06:15:08 AM
No...... there are no link between previous bets and future bets... each bet are calculated on it's own.. by using the CLIENT seed and the SERVER seed and the RNG (Random Number Generator)

I also thought if you lose enough money on a specific game, then the slot or game will reward you in the future.. but that is not true. The RTP determine how much are returned to the player.. based on how the games are configured.

1072  Economy / Economics / Re: What's the effect of having plenty children to the national economy of a country on: August 02, 2023, 05:49:13 AM
You can see the direct impact of over population in most of the third world countries. A lot of these countries have too many people and not enough jobs to employ enough people to sustain the families. The result.... "Poverty" ..... people live in makeshift housing and malnutrition is at the order of the day.

The low employment lead to an increase in crime and alcohol and drug misuse. The government will help with social grants to support the unemployed, but tax income are low.. so service delivery are poor and infrastructure are neglected and falling apart.
1073  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Much Bitcoin Does MicroStrategy Own In 2023? on: August 02, 2023, 05:42:35 AM
I wonder what happened in 2022? Why did they skip a whole year... before they bought more bitcoins in 2023? The thing is, companies like this with a huge hoard are actually a threat to Bitcoin..... because they can decide to dump it all at once and it will cause a trigger affect in the market... with the price of Bitcoin taking a nose dive into the abyss.  Roll Eyes

We do not want huge whales, because we want a more even distribution of coins to millions of people... this will cause less volatility in the markets and the price.  Wink
1074  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Top 5 Things to Consider When Choosing an Online Casino on: August 01, 2023, 07:35:27 AM
I do not know if those Licensed casinos are any better than unlicensed casinos, when it comes to solving problems and grievances. The licensing authorities do not really get involved with personal conflicts between gamblers and casinos under their license.  Roll Eyes

Yes, the casinos have to adhere to certain license conditions, but that is pretty standard through out the industry. It might be slightly more advantageous to play at casinos that are licensed, but do not rely to much that these licensing authorities will mediate in any conflicts between you and the casino that you have a grievance with.  Roll Eyes
1075  Economy / Economics / Re: Russian oil and UK on: August 01, 2023, 06:55:34 AM
The Western sanctions are sabotaged with back room deals from India and China and some African countries. The markets just adapt and the Oil still flow through new channels to the UK and other countries that supposedly support the sanctions.

Russia has shown no indication that the sanctions are hurting them, because they just opened up new revenue sources through other nations. The sanctions are just a "smoke&mirror" show by Politicians to satisfy their voters, but the money and oil are still doing business like usual.  Tongue
1076  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: *** Exploring Unique Advertising Opportunities in the Gambling Sector*** on: August 01, 2023, 06:47:14 AM
Your site are basically a platform for "Free Speech" ..so I reckon the traditional advertisers might clash with some of the views and opinions that are discussed there, so you are looking for advertisers that are more open-minded... right?

Well, the Crypto currency world are full of open-minded people and also people with Libertarian goals. So your site will fit like a glove for many of these companies that share these goals.

Crypto Casinos are not 100% behind the "Freedom" goals, some just converted from the old Brick-n-mortar model to chase new revenue sources.  Roll Eyes

Well, it is nice that Andreas Antonopoulos are one of their board of Directors, because he is very knowledgeable about Bitcoin and Crypto currencies. He will not back any bogus organization that will issue doggy certificated, because he has a relative good reputation in the Crypto community.

I have been involved in a lot of recruiting for posts and we do not even consider "certificates" that are not verified by our local registering authorities. That does not mean that I will not look into this... so thank you OP for posting this.  Wink
1078  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: First Bitcoin ETF got approved in Europe? Really on: August 01, 2023, 05:50:43 AM
This isn’t anything new. Etfs are approved for many Bitcoin funds and have been for a while. Usually there is no market impact because people only care if it gets approved by the SEC.

In a couple weeks we will know because the first ARK etf is suppose to reach its deadline for its application. If it’s get approved then most likely so will the other etfs and we should finally break out of this range and head higher.

The SEC does not have any influence over European financial matters, because they are governed by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA)

In any way, it does not matter... because it was approved and it is live! The thing is ETF's are just another Fiat tool for the old schooled investors and centralized to boot.  Roll Eyes
1079  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - The Leading Crypto Casino - Drake, UFC, Everton, Alfa Romeo F1 Team on: July 31, 2023, 06:15:01 AM
I have to say, I am disappointed in the Weekly of yesterday, because I leveled up in last week and the Weekly are 50% less than what it was with my previous lower VIP level. I wagered the exact amount that I wagered the week before and it was also on "Dice" ....so it is very strange that I received 50% less.

The same wager on the same game but your bonus is lower hmm obviously strange, is your overall position profit this week? I don't know if this has an impact on the weekly bonus but from the last announcement if you lose then the bonus will be higher (loseback simulation) Have you ever heard that the bonus you receive is counted as profit? try to request statistics via email and check your profit/loss status.

Stake doesn't count those wager as weekly wager requirement which is made during the weekly stream!

Exactly right, during the weekly stream all wager don't count for the following week this provision has been in effect for a long time
On the VIP/Boost page the timer has not been activated meaning all wager have not been reset besides that you can also check your total ticket this way is more effective.


Nope... email statistics showed that I was in a Loss for the Week, so they did not add the Bonus that I received as a profit. The thing is, it does show as a profit for the Fortnight and Month, so it is added in the bigger picture.  Roll Eyes

In any way, there are no platform to complain about this or to even debate it... They block the word "Weekly" in the chat to prevent people spamming the chat with complaints over the reduced rewards.

We just battle onward and hope this resolve it self..... for the next reward.  Roll Eyes
1080  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wagering - share your opinion on: July 31, 2023, 06:01:25 AM
When you want to increase your total wager, obviously you need to play on the game that offer the lowest house edge, lowest risk and quick to play. Those criterias are fit to dice because you can gamble with 1.01x multiplier and set an auto bet, so you don't need to press the spin button by yourself.

However, I don't think it will be profitable since the bonus and VIP advantage reward is lesser than the money you lose during wager session.

This is the critical thing that most people are missing. You can have any budget, but if you put Dice on 1.01x ...it will slowly eat away at those funds, until it reaches zero.

The reward that you get back from the casino, will never be more or even match the amount that you pushed into it.. to reach the next level. I recently leveled up at Stake.com and my Weekly were 50% less... even after wagering the same amount than the Week before.  Roll Eyes
