Auctioning an ungraded 2011 error Casascius on eBay. End in 30 minutes.

Just curious, why would you auction it on Ebay rather than on the auction subforum here on bitcoin talk?  I feel like you would get a higher price here.

Ok, so I know this is an old thread.. but asks the questions that's been on my mind for a good while.  What if we think we have a really good idea for a new gambling game, but are stuck behind the legalities of not being able to create one because I live in the US?  Is there any way to legally go about making this website?

I'm not quite sure what the legalities are with creating/hosting a gambling website in the US, but I'm pretty certain that it's not good.  I would maybe try to find someone to host it for you? But then again, I'm not quite so sure about this stuff, and personally wouldn't want government busting down my door for creating some game I put up on the internet lol.
i believe its a legal gray area at this point, and no legal action is being taken against it. what primedice did some time ago barring US players from playing was a precaution more than anything. as for legalities, you could simply host the site in a server based in another country if you want to be absolutely careful.

But if I were to buy a VPS to host it on, would there be any chance of it coming to bite me/us in the ass? Like once it's on a server in, let's say Switzerland, the U.S. Government wouldn't be able to kick down our door, right?
I believe not, as long as the content on the server is not illegal in Switzerland, but I might be wrong, I'm not a lawyer. I would advise you look around extensively on Google, but Swiss laws are generally lax on currencies.

But see, I don't even know what I pull up on Google is exactly right though.. and don't really want to hire a lawyer from where I'm from, because I know that person is just going to say "give up"; because people here in this part of the US have probably never heard or care about cryptocurrencies.  I don't even think the lawyer would have any idea their selves since crytpocurrency gambling is still so new.

I have a knoppix Linux boot CD for emergencies. Quite handy to have for emergencies.



What function would that serve to have it for "emergencies"? What would be classified as an emergency?

I will start downloading the monero wallet now so I can compare.


If you are on Windows make to sure to use the official beta of the new release that is comming: https://downloads.getmonero.org/monero.win.x64.v0-9-beta.zip

On linux, compile from git  Smiley

ps: don't troll, we'll find out @_@  Cheesy

So I feel completely idiotic right now Tongue ... this whole time I've been having trouble running these programs on my windows for 64-bit because that's what I thought I had, only to realize that I think I have a 32-bit because when I finally took time to read the error message that comes up when trying to extract bitmonerod.exe or something of the sort it says that "this application is not Win32 compatible" ... sigh, I guess that's what I get for being very impatient with things.

So I guess my question would be, is it worth it to try and run this stuff on my computer? Or should I just stick with buying monero and putting it into mymonero for holding?

Have you thought about trying linux. Its not just because of crypto. Its just because it solves so many problems... Even those you might not realize you have Tongue

I would just imagine I would have to take a lot of time to learn command lines, which I really don't have extra time for... Plus the process of getting Linux on my computer seems complicated in terms of having to download it on a USB first. Plus I'm not quite sure if I have a spare 40 GB on my computer to run everything the way it's supposed too. Maybe during a rainy day I'll try to figure it all out... I'm just very illiterate when it comes to setting stuff up myself on computers.

It is always profitable to start a new gambling site, why? Short answer is:Because it is profitable business.
But you need to answer some questions first:

1. Do you have money for this startup? Or you just want to copy old dice scripts?
2. Do you want to create something unique or copy good ideas of others?
3. Do you want to hit some gambling niche never explored before?
4. Do you think you can bring something new to the table?



Well I do have some funds to maybe do a couple free giveaway buy ins for users, and maybe start a new sig campaign, but that's why I want to go in on a partnership with someone already in the gambling business or knows how to code and host a website legally. I feel if someone can be a full time dev and I'll work in terms of marketing full time then it would be beneficial for both of us. I just don't know where to start, because I've tried starting something in project development and I feel that I might need to try services, but in that area it seems those guys are just looking for freelance work, rather than a partnership...

But idk how to go about trusting that a person won't just run away with my idea when I tell them because it is so simple and probably a more profitable site than running a sports casino that uses spreads to create some kind of house edge. My idea doesn't need an edge and guarantees to make profit off every game... Not much, but still it's gaurenteed. Plus the payouts for winners would be extremely high and worth the gamble if they can part away with some extra btc.
127  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Start a Gambling Site on: October 14, 2015, 02:46:36 AM
id imagine you would need a giant capital to start with or some investors however thats unlikely since rarely anyone invests in new sites.

In this case I really wouldn't because it would be a PvP site that combines things in a pool for a big reward to the winner. That's all I'll really say, but the site wouldn't need a backup "bank" of investments if there are big winners, because players set the price points, in the game I have in mind.

Not that im against and social and forum help,
but why dont you hire a consultant to escort you thru the process ?

I wouldn't even know where to begin to try to find a consultant for this kind of endeavor... most people still haven't really heard or paid attention to cryptos, so I feel that they wouldn't want to help me out because they feel it would be pointless.

I never understood how to read those graphs... What do they mean, and how can you tell if something has "bottomed out" and can only go up from there?

Market is never too saturated for creativity and some skills ! Even though most of the promoters around are into gambling or betting sites you can always out run them in the long run by creating something which is not there ! Start a gambling site  maybe with free option to play or better games to play ,overall a good user experience.If once players get hooked up to it, you will have your bacon! The idea is to make something which has not become  a cliche !

What if I truly believe I've got the creativity and have a brilliant idea for a new gambling game/site, but don't have the skills to code nor the legal standing to host one since I'm in the US?  I really believe the game I have in mind will be a big hit.  If any one knows any body who would like to start a partnership to create the "next big thing" for online gambling, please respond to me, or shoot me a PM.  I would love for someone to jump aboard and help create it, if they are in a jurisdiction that allows them to make online gambling site; and in return I will do all campaigning and marketing of the game.

I've also got some spare funds to fund the creation of the site, but with this game you don't need a bank roll to start out (No it's not a ponzi).


Have you already made all the business stuff that the business people tell you to do before you open a business?

Like: what will be your public target, how much setup and maintain the site will cost, etc

Public target will be sports fans that are getting tired of placing bets against the "line"... I'll give more details to a person that runs a gambling website already, or wants to create one that's in the right jurisdiction to be able to host it. 

I was looking at VPS's and they look like there's one in switzerland that looks pretty good and basically costs ~ $6 a month... with the estimated profits the site will create, and buzz it will cause in the bitcoin and altcoin community, it will definitely be worth it.
133  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Start a Gambling Site on: October 13, 2015, 07:51:49 PM
You're at the right place then! There are lot of experience programmers and web developers available here to code! In fact, there are other investors who can invest with you if they sense strategy in your business model.As far as US government issues are concerned on a gambling site, I suggest you to take advice from the other gambling site owners here .

Who would you suggest I contact? Do you know any of the gambling site owners, or developers here?  I don't really want to pay someone just to code it for me, because I still run into the problem of being faced legal issues with trying to find hosting; and personally, I don't want my door kicked in because I'm running some game online... I'd like to run a partnership.

If anyone on here is browsing this and knows a gambling site owner, or is one... please respond on here or shoot me a PM.  It's sports related, and I'm confident no one has done this ever... it's not daily fantasy, or anything of the sort... completely new idea and concept.

I opened a new unmoderated speculation thread for Monero, since I believe in free speach and I also think it will go well with this community!

Feel free to take part in the discussion: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1206369.msg12678112#msg12678112

lol Smiley

free speach = free trolling

Monero is so good the only trolling that could work is reverse trolling.

into le ignore it goes Wink

136  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / [WTS] Ti-Nspire or Ti-84+ silver edition calculators for XMR or BTC on: October 13, 2015, 07:31:11 PM
Looked up the prices that these calculators are going for on amazon, and it looks like the 84+ silver edition is going for somewhere around $65 used and the Nspire is going for $55 used... I'll take $10 off each price ($55 = 84+ ; $45 = Nspire) in XMR or BTC. 

Ti-Nspire

Ti-84+ silver edition


Since I'm about to graduate, I won't have any need for these any more and am looking to go ahead and get rid of them (for the right price that is Grin ). I can post pictures tomorrow, I'm just seeing if there's any interest among people around here before I take the time and to take quality pictures of them.  I can also use any escrow you'd like.  Doesn't include shipping costs, and I will prefer to only ship it in the U.S.

Thanks!

The author of the paper, Shen Noether (pseudonym) is one of the researchers of Monero Research Lab

 

Is "Shen Noether" a member of bitcointalk that comes in these threads frequently? If so, could he maybe give us the low down of what everything means in the paper? I would love to learn more about what's going to happen in the future with XMR.
138  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Need help mining with a 10 year old XP CPU: Cryptonite on: October 13, 2015, 05:40:09 PM
So the desktop computer I have is a Windows XP with an Athlon AMD CPU. I have tried following instructions posted on sites like getmonero.org and asked several people, but I seem to lost as hell when trying to get everything up and running.  I've tried using Minergate, and the miner it tells me to download (Windows 64-bit miner) won't open correctly when I try running it.  Could anyone please explain like I'm a toddler on how to get things up and running? I wouldn't mind mining boolberry, monero, Aeon, or whatever... I'd just like to put my computer to work, since it's already plugged in and sitting there doing nothing.

Pictures or she doesn't exist, haha  Grin

1) Bitcoin isn't completely anonymous...there will always be a way to track who's buying bitcoin unless they use cash and buy a hard wallet. However once you own bitcoin or being paid in bitcoin can be kept anonymous (if not using an online wallet).

2) # Devs is best answered by others

3) Security of the blockchain, best answered by others. But think about this - if we ever lose electricity we lose access to the blockchain, that vulnerability is huge and no one ever talks about it.

"...me and Harpua...couldn't care fewa..."

Oh right, like I'm going to post a picture of my significant other so other neckbeards can fap away... I'll pass   Kiss

And for #3 there is a thread floating around here that talks about that vulnerability and are trying to launch a satellite so you can connect to a blockchain through radio frequencies or something like that?  I mean I think you are talking about losing the internet, because there are other ways to generate electricity and rig up your own radio.  Though, I don't know if those people in that thread will be able to gather up that much funding to launch a blockchain into orbit...
