1081  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What should be done for Bitcoin wallet security? on: January 16, 2017, 08:18:12 PM
Web wallets are a big nope in my opinion and the biggest concern is not having control of private keys.

For desktop wallets the biggest issue is getting your PC (or any other device) compromised, though you could use a separate offline device to ensure this doesn't happen.

For hardware wallets the biggest issue would be hardware failure and therefore the need to hold backups.

It would help bringing more users by bringing down fees and making transactions quick but only if it's done right and doesn't bring a dozen other issues with it.

Currently it just seems like SegWit is running into problems too and unless those are solved I'm afraid lightning network might be just a dream too.

I don't think the biggest issue is the currency you hold it in. Both fiat and BTC are (in my opinion) equally good options for saving but I personally don't see saving as the best option. I'd rather consider investing. Of course bitcoin can be considered as one even if you save them so that's probably a good option.

If you're simply looking for something that holds value, gold could be a considerable option aswell.

any free faucet to play?

Unfortunately not, we now require all users to deposit to play Sad

In the past we had a faucet, but unfortunately it attracted a lot of the wrong sort of people (abusers and professional beggars) so I removed it, which had the unfortunate side effect of making it annoying for new players to try the game (wait for a deposit). So in the near future (~1 month), I'll add a small faucet (with a limited amount of claims per ip address) to assist with trying the game

I see a lot of people practicing playing on Bustabit playing on Bustaclam using Freebitcoins faucet to play.

I can totally understand why bustabit doesn't have a faucet on site, but I can also see the importance of being able to practice.

There are some new sites that have the same game and it has a faucet look at this site :

...

Not very polite to link another site on a competitor thread. You should consider removing the post just out of good will.
1085  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin sponsors in the White House?! on: January 15, 2017, 03:23:16 PM
yes there may be discussion about bitcoins developing as currency but adopting it fully in the country, i do not think it s gonna happen under the leadership of that government .it might happen in the later years like 20 -30 years later .not near soon.

The only case I would see a cryptocurrency or something similar being adopted in a country would be if they came up with something of their own. Bitcoin won't be the one to do that as there's no control over it (like someone already mentioned earlier).

Now back to the topic. I honestly doubt that bitcoin enthusiasts working in the White House would have as big effects as some might think. Takes a lot of people to have any kind of an effect and frankly there just isn't any incentive for most politicians to support bitcoin.

I'm monitoring this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1585408.msg17499250#msg17499250 and bitvest did not return profits in investing.

Seems like that particular case was indeed a losing investment but I've also heard of successful investors. After all variance is possible and a highroller can easily cause such swings. It could go back up just as easily.
1087  Economy / Gambling / Re: bustabit.com -- The Social Gambling Game on: January 15, 2017, 12:07:58 AM
I dont understand why there is need so.e practice in this kind of game? All that matter is chance and luck in every gambling site and without those thinga,  I dont think that you can get anything. May be if you using low amount to tested it, you can know how this thing work

Bustabit is a bit unique in the sense that there is actually a small aspect of skill (bonus hunting) so practicing definitely can help. So if you want to try play against real people and not worry about losing anything then bustaclam might be a good option

Something I've been wondering about regarding the bonuses. There's no way the bonuses could be used to achieve a positive edge, right? So that zero is the best you can get to?
1088  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Alternatives to Bitfinex Funding on: January 14, 2017, 10:12:31 PM
alternative margin trading you can use poloniex
in poloniex support USDT too same bitfinex
but in poloniex only suppot altcoin margin trading

I wonder if poloniex is good for large amounts? They're a big altcoin exchange but besides that their volume isn't that great. This of course depends on how much is a large amount.
1089  Economy / Gambling / Re: BITDICE CASINO - 110BTC MAX WIN, MOST ADVANCED, SECURE, PACESETTER CASINO. on: January 14, 2017, 10:42:59 AM
Just wondering how's the traffic in the site going?  Is it getting large enough to add player vs player games like poker or maybe 1v1 craps or yatze?  I like playing dice games but sometimes I crave playing player vs player games and would hate the process of transferring Bitcoins to another site and then wait.

Right now poker probably wouldn't get much players so for the time being single player games will be the best addition. Maybe craps or yatze can be added sooner though but it depends on Alex.

Bonus Rain: 5,527,410 tokens!
Also some chat events going on come join in the fun.


Come, site is profitable. Daily quest, chat rain, a few good hits on Dice, Slots, Plinko, Roulette and your up to a conversion. I am a living proof that it is Fun. Affiliate earnings? Sparked can prove that too! LoL , or invest in their Bankroll. Good Luck!

Unique chat games. Coin flipper, number-roll, are you guys thinking of pvp games too? pvp seems to be the new 'in'.

in my experience,pvp games open the floodgates of cheating,like minimum withdrawal or tip amount evasion
tokens did great job for bitvest in terms of weeding the cheaters out
but imagine if there is one player who registers several accounts and claims faucet or recieves rains in chat
he would have to win 200k tokens to be able to convert them into satoshi and withdraw
if PVP is introduced,he can simply aggregate all his dust at one account (through repeatedly losing on purpose) and withdraw over and over again

Then tokens shouldn't be available for PvP or figure out another way to avoid such problems.

Anyway, those CSGO skin coin flipper games have been quite popular so maybe they could be introduced to bitcoin too (with lower fees of course).
1091  Economy / Gambling / Re: bustabit.com -- The Social Gambling Game on: January 14, 2017, 03:38:19 AM
But to the "try out the game" end, why not build a playmoney client?  You already have the code, seems like it should be easy to throw up a build that just never has access to the hotwallet and give everyone X number of playmoney chips.  You can get ads to get extra revenue (and/or use captchas to have people top off their balances) and I'd imagine you'll get a handful of people who think they've created some sort of super system that deposit and try it out on the main client.

Yeah, actually that's what I've been working on today. I'm planning on having a permanent test.bustabit.com which will operate a complete clone of the site (but in total isolation) but with bitcoin testcoins, instead of real bitcoin. But it'll allow depositing/withdrawing/investing, so that it'll not only will it be a good place for users to screw around with "fake" money, but give me a good way to do live-deploys and test buggy code, get feedback etc.

Will it utilize bitcoin testnet coins?

I would personally prefer test credits given to each user but I doubt this is a bad idea either. I'm just not sure if a large portion of users is familiar with testnet. Is it easy to acquire them?

Otherwise I'm glad to see the progress. Looking forward to the next version. I feel it's going to be a success especially with you handling it!
1092  Economy / Gambling / Re:MONEYPOT.com -- Crypto Casino Suite and Web Wallet on: January 14, 2017, 01:58:55 AM
I just started on MoneyPot.com and I have an incoming deposit that already has 22 confirmations, but is not added to my balance. What can I do? Wait for version 2? Inside my account the incoming transaction is still shown as unconfirmed.

In this situation the best you can do is get in touch with their support. What I've done when that has happened (yeah, has happened to me too) is PM Dogedigital over here.

1094  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: BitDice Casino Campaign Manager BoXXoB refrains from paying. on: January 11, 2017, 09:38:48 PM
Wouldn't that make one look like a sheer signature spammer ? For example,if I wish to make 5 posts everyday to make it up to the rules by the end of the week,I will try my best to complete that 5 post cap.I'm afraid I will tend to post rubbish without having any intentions of actually contributing to the topic just because I have to make 5 posts anyway.Makes sense?

It becomes difficult to meet the requirements of the campaign unless you are posting around 5 posts each day or fairly close. If you post too few, you will end up with too many remaining in the last days to not fall under the too many posts in the last day requirement or into the post bursting rule if the posts are posted during a short timeframe. I fell into the too many posts in the last day (well last 24 hours I guess as it included an evening/morning for me) category as well this week. I tried to ensure that I wasn't post bursting by spreading these posts across the entire day and making constructive posts as well but if you miss too many posts early in the week, it is difficult to recover. I would think that it might be beneficial to include some leniency based on previous performance of individuals as well as post quality, but that isn't my decision. If the user remains in the campaign for the following week, these posts near the end will still gain visibility for the next couple of days depending on the location of the posts so I'm not sure how harmful they are if they are of good quality. It just might result in less visibility during the beginning of the week. I think the goal is for equal visibility throughout the week, which is understandable, so trying to evenly space out posts as much as possible makes the most sense. It just requires more attention to timing throughout the week.

I don't feel BoXXoB is scamming or trying to screw people out of payment. He is just following the rules of the campaign strictly and doing his job in an effort to prevent spam forum and gain the most value from the campaign as a whole.

In cases like this I'll probably go with paying a percentage of the payout in the future as long as the posts are good quality like Joel_Jantsen or you for example. Alex is planning on paying Joel by the rule of 8 posts max per day. Same with you (kolloh) I think.

All I want is to imrove my work quality.

(also, the rules will be clarified and updated later!)
1095  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: BitDice Casino Campaign Manager BoXXoB refrains from paying. on: January 11, 2017, 09:11:35 PM
1. One of the problem with Bitdice signature campaign is that the manager just deny the participants due to the new born rules which appears just after counting the posts when the round completes which is injustice 'to impose the rules after the round complete and the participants do what was asked in the start of the round'. ( I am pointing it out for the second round in which a number of members were denied of payment due to a new rule imposed just after the second round end up).

2. Secondly the manager do not know that what actually happens in a forum. He do not know that a forum is. He do not know that forum is a place of discussion where some people gather to discuss something and in that discussion a person add something to the discussion without waiting for a specific time interval after getting response from the others. As I said a forum is a place where some people discuss a topic then just suppose there are two friends in a room and they have to discuss about a thing (for example a book) one friend say something about the book the other reply to him at that time then the first one will not wait for an hour to answer him but they both will continue without keeping a specific time interval for each other to reply. They discussion for to be fruitful matters only the quality sentences and do not matter in how much time it conducted. It is nonsense to say that discussion completed in a shorter time period is something bad and it is nonsense to say that the longer a person discuss (more posts in a day) is spamming.
I have saw a number of forums where the members without any signature campaign or any other reward often do hundreds of posts in order to continue the discussions on the forum just for knowledge etc.

3. The Third problem is that the admin of bitdice when hiring a person for a service do not look that how much the person have experience in that area of work. BitDice is giving a good pay to the participants then why they are unable to hire a well experienced manager from the forum. BoXXoB is either an inexperienced in the field of management or he is working to get free advertisements by planning while taking the favor of the administration of the forum by the propaganda of anti-spam (without having any knowledge about spam and anti-spam)

For the betterment of bitdice I consider it better that bitdice hire lauda, Lutpin or yahoo62278 for the management that campaign.

1096  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: BitDice Casino Campaign Manager BoXXoB refrains from paying. on: January 11, 2017, 06:27:40 PM
In my opinion you aren't getting paid because of the fact that you made such a large portion of the required posts in a single day. However I'm willing to listen to what Lauda has to say and would like to have a discussion with him in PM.

Mate,was I not actively posting throughout the week ? (at least for 5 days)
I had 5 days on my hand and I can dedicate my time accordingly.I could post 5 comments each day or however I like,it's not mentioned anywhere in the campaign rules.Also I don't spend most of my time on bitcointalk to be able to post with larger time spans.

Next thing I see is people expecting to get paid for making half the required posts.
What logic does apply here ? For christ sakes,understand the fact that I made 32 posts and not 15.You're telling me my 16 posts made in 8 hours are not valid because you don't fancy them ? Roll Eyes

What I meant by this is if I start giving half payouts in each case people are going to start only finishing the job half way and expect payment for that.
Again,I made 32 posts and not 15.

I'm discussing this with both the site owner and Lauda. Let's see what conclusion we come to.

Next thing I see is people expecting to get paid for making half the required posts.

Do you not realize the fact that you made over half of the required posts in a single day while having only a total of 32 posts this week is alone a good enough reason to not pay you for this week?

Are you contradicting yourself here ? Please be clear for once.Tell me,why Am I not getting paid ? Is it because I made 16 posts in a day or made 32 posts in a week ? If I don't doubt my abilities to comprehend I think I've read the rules quite clearly and there is no such thing as that.

In my opinion you aren't getting paid because of the fact that you made such a large portion of the required posts in a single day. However I'm willing to listen to what Lauda has to say and would like to have a discussion with him in PM.

Joel, can you explain why you think you deserve payment in light of the following rule:
Quote
if we see that you've posted on the last few days before payday then you won't be paid
Well,I have been posting since 3rd day from my last payment,which means I have posted for 5 days in a row.Now,"Last Few Days" sounds quite vague here,isn't it ? Even if that's the case,the more weightage would be on the side where I posted for 5 days sequentially.

I am still not taking sides however in theory you could make all your posts three hours before payment then remove your signature after payment (you would no longer be in the campaign). In this case, bitdice would receive lesser advertising then what might be expected. Obviously this is not the exact situation however it is somewhat similar. This might not apply as much if you have been in the campaign for some amount of time.
This is my 6th week in the campaign so yes I have spent quite amount of time here.Thanks for your input. Smiley

It would be a whole different story if we paid per post in the campaign but we don't. This is why I won't make half the payment because it would set an example that I might do it in future. Next thing I see is people expecting to get paid for making half the required posts.
So you are saying that if the campaign paid 0.001166666666667 BTC per post up to a max of 30, that you would have paid him?

Can you describe how this is different?

I would have paid him for the posts I qualified eg. about a half of the posts (the ones that weren't made today pretty much). I would have paid him for 16 posts. As we pay for the posts as a whole I'll not make a compromise to give half the pay.
