Indeed, it's true that some members may prefer altcoins with lower transaction fees, particularly given the current state of the Bitcoin network. However, in this particular case, as we are on the bitcointalk.org forum, I believe that Bitcoin holds an advantage. Campaigns that offer Bitcoin as payment can be promoted in the Services section, which typically sees higher attendance and greater interest, as opposed to being relegated to the Altcoin bounty section.

It's definitely an interesting concept to create your own hardware wallet using such a cheap device. Another thing to consider is the level of technical expertise required to create your own hardware wallet. While it may be a cost-effective option, it may not be feasible for those who are not comfortable with programming or electronics.

This is why I will stick with a hardware wallet manufactured by a reputable company.  

Hey there! It's great to hear that you're exploring new avenues to supplement your income. Teaching IT and diving into the world of Bitcoin, that's quite the dynamic duo!

But now I wonder, if you are really a teacher teaching students about IT, how come you haven't heard of Bitcoin before? I mean, it's not like Bitcoin is a secret or anything. It's been around since 2009 and has had quite the impact on the world we live in today. So how come you've never heard of it before?

Regarding your question about how to manage your time and earn money from trading, there are no simple answers. Everyone's situation is different, which means that there really isn't a one-size-fits-all solution to this problem. I can tell you, however, that if you're serious about trading and want to make money doing it, then you need to be willing to put in the work. There's no such thing as getting rich quick with cryptocurrency, even if some people may try to convince you otherwise!

Can you elaborate on what makes you think that "bitcoin is always in a state of bull run"? Where did you find such a claim?

It is true that Bitcoin has been on the rise since it was created but there are times when it falls down as well. The other question that comes to mind is about what makes people invest in Bitcoin and why does it keep going up?

The answer is simple: Bitcoin has a lot of potential and it is not just a currency, but also a store of value. It has been around for more than 13 years now and there are many people who use it in their day-to-day lives. There are also many new investors who are taking advantage of its growing popularity and investing in it because they believe that this trend will continue.

I agree. There is no better incentive to attract quality forum members to review your casino than the promise of bitcoin. You can't expect everyone to be excited about free spins or free bets but offering them the opportunity to earn BTC is something that many people will jump at the chance for. I mean, all these people are already hardcore gamblers and they already have a lot of experience in this industry. So if you want to attract them to your casino, just stick to bitcoin!

Can you explain the criteria you use to rank casinos on your website's front page and other lists? While I recognize some names, there are others that I am not familiar with and I'm not sure how popular they are.

On the other hand, there are casinos which are very popular but I don't understand why they are not on your lists. I guess what I am really asking is how you decide which casinos to include in the rankings?

That's pretty impressive! Congrats on that! I'm curious, how did you manage to attract such a large number of referrals? Do you have any strategies or tips that have worked well for you?


Looking forward to hearing your insights!

It seems like this thread has gotten quite a bit of attention with everyone sharing their thoughts and addressing the OP's questions. But here's the thing: if you take a look at the OP's activity, it seems he started this topic a long time ago, like more than six months ago. And based on his latest activity, he hasn't been active since January. Looks like he's lost interest in the topic.

Now, the question is, should we keep replying here or ask the moderators to lock the topic? Well, locking a topic is usually done when it's no longer active or when it has deviated from its original purpose. In this case, considering the OP's lack of recent activity and the passage of time, it might be more fitting to ask the mods to lock it up.

I agree, the topic of online identity has been extensively debated. Generally, people feel uneasy and reluctant to reveal their true identities on the internet. Many firmly believe that using their real identity online can be extremely risky. As a result, they resort to using various pseudonyms to safeguard their anonymity. Additionally, some individuals prefer to keep their gambling activities private, not wanting anyone to be aware of their involvement, including their spouses or partners. Consequently, a significant number of people opt for anonymous payment methods such as Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies when engaging in online gambling.

Personally, being someone who also values privacy, one of the main reasons I decided to play at crypto casinos was due to the anonymity they provide. I strongly dislike the idea of my personal information being accessible on every website I visit. All it takes is one unscrupulous employee to expose this information on the dark web, and we have witnessed cases like this in the past.

Fortunately, Roobet has implemented a multi-tiered KYC (Know Your Customer) system, and I have only completed Level 1, which involves providing basic personal information (although it still makes me uneasy to provide my full name and address, but I suppose we have to come to terms with it).

You make a solid point there! But let me tell you another reason why I don't think they'll put an end to the campaign anytime soon. The thing is, the 1xBit signature campaign isn't really legit. They aren't paying members who participate because they're using their own accounts, or at least that's what it seems like. I mean, not a single genuine member has ever taken part in their campaigns. It's more likely that they've acquired a load of phony accounts or even hired someone to post on a forum with a bunch of alt accounts. This has actually been proven in the past, if memory serves me right.

You know what? It's probably not the smartest move on my part to label you as an idiot, no matter how much nonsense you spout. Sometimes my emotions get the better of me, especially when I'm stuck hearing the same mind-numbing garbage on repeat. Guess we all have our moments, right?


Hey, how about we hit the reset button? It's totally possible that I misunderstood you the first time around.

But, this time, let's take it slow.  If there's anything that's not quite clear or if you have any questions that need clarification, go ahead and ask them one by one. That way, we can give each little thing the attention it deserves and address everything properly. Sound good?

You are wrong. Check your sources.

Bitcoin addresses are commonly presented in a Base58Check encoding format. This specific encoding scheme relies on a Base58 number system comprising 58 characters. To prevent confusion, certain characters such as 0, O, I, and l are excluded from the set of characters used.


Wrong again. Bitcoin addresses are commonly displayed using Base58Check encoding, while Ethereum addresses are typically represented in a hexadecimal format with the "0x" prefix.


You are an idiot.

If you want to sell something, just make sure to post it in the Marketplace section. Since domain names are digital goods, you can place your ad under: Economy > Marketplace > Goods > Digital goods.

No, it doesn't say that. Read the rest of the text.

"This address is a number, even though it also includes alphabetical characters. This is because the hexadecimal (base 16) system used to generate the address doesn't just use numerals, like our ten-digit decimal system. Instead, the hexadecimal system uses the numerals 0-9 and the letters A-F." (source: metamask.io)


So what? The address is still a valid hexadecimal format. You don’t think every address must include all digits, do you?



No, this proves that you don't understand fundamental mathematical concepts, including the differentiation between number systems like base-16 or base-64. Did you skip a math class or two at school?

Besides, you have not yet provided any evidence of the mentioned address on blockchain.com explorer.

Man, I've been playing for years, and I can't even recall the last time I scored a measly 20 cents on a free bet game, let alone a whopping $20! Heck, even getting a paltry 2 cents as a reward feels like spotting a unicorn these days. I guess luck just ain't my strong suit compared to those fortunate folks out there.

Congrats Betwrong!

When it comes to players trying to find loopholes to recover their gambling losses, I believe there will always be some individuals attempting to exploit the system for personal gain. It's an unfortunate reality that exists in any gambling environment, no matter the surveys, questionnaires, or other assessments in place.

To tackle this persistent challenge, casinos should prioritize the implementation of comprehensive and transparent policies that explicitly outline the rules and regulations of their gambling platforms. These policies should cover responsible gambling practices, ensuring fair play, and specifying the consequences for any attempts to exploit the system. By establishing clear guidelines, casinos can set clear expectations for players and discourage them from actively seeking loopholes.

I have no desire to contact you personally. If you wish to present any evidence to support your point here, it is entirely up to you to provide it. I don't trust you anymore and I'm curious to know what your true intention is behind this topic.


Forward it yourself.


Screenshots can be easily manipulated. Post a link to the real address on blockchain explorer if you want us to believe you.

We already told you that all Ethereum addresses start with "0x." If a wallet decides not to show the prefix, that's their choice. But honestly, Blockchain.com isn't a good or safe wallet to use anyway. I recommend you find another option that's more reliable.


The screenshot is quite difficult to make out. It would be better if you could provide the complete screenshot while blacking out any private information. That way, we'll have a clearer view of the content.

Why don't you show us?

You already got the answer that all Ethereum addresses begin with the prefix "0x." If you came across something on a blockchain explorer that you're unsure about, feel free to share the link with us so that we can take a look and provide further assistance.

I found a great post on Reddit that effectively summarizes the current state of affairs regarding the Ledger devices. All the points mentioned in the post appear to be factually correct, as far as I can tell:

Q: Am I dumb to stay with ledger?

A: YES.

This isn't just about typical pros and cons of this wallet or that wallet.

Ledger told us our keys never leave the secure element of our hardware wallets. They assured us no firmware update would enable our keys to be extracted from our hardware wallets.

Here's the promise they made, again and again, for years.

Now, they admit that was a lie:

And because their firmware isn't fully open, we have no way of knowing if there's a backdoor to enable key extraction even if we don't opt in to their new key extraction service:

        SOURCE: u/btchip, Ledger owner & co-founder

And it's not like we can trust their security.

What's the worst that could happen, aside from a hacker getting access to your keys due to another Ledger security breach?

Your assets could get frozen by the government. He said it.

The government could get access to the backups of a user. He said it.

So, to answer your question: Are you dumb to just stick with ledger through this whole mess?

YES.
