Mislim da će biti neki nasumični random giveaway koji uključuje sve članove koji su pisali u ovoj temi (osim mene).

Ako je slučajnim odabirom, možeš uključiti i mene. Grin

Više bih volio da novi vlasnik sad nema nijedan hardverski novčanik, ali random znači random.

Idealno bi bilo da novi vlasnik nema ni hw wallet ni bitcoina, pa da mora nešto staviti unutra da ne ostane prazan.  Wink
Ali takvih valjda nema puno ovdje.

That sounds like a reasonable approach. Offering small loans to users with good credibility is a good way to establish trust without requiring collateral. It's a good way to build up your reputation as a lender, and it can help you identify high-quality borrowers who may be willing to take out larger loans in the future. This is one of the most important things a lender can do. If you can find ways to get people who are reliable and trustworthy to use your services, you'll have no problem building a successful business.

Just a quick note, there's no need to create multiple topics covering the same content across different boards. It's more efficient and organized to consolidate related discussions within a single thread.

What do you think?

Actually, I think financial literacy is a skill that we should be teaching our children. It's important for them to understand how money works, and how they can use it wisely throughout their lives. Teaching children about money management from a young age can help them develop good habits and avoid financial mistakes in the future. We should teach them the value of saving, budgeting, and investing. By doing so, we can help our children build a solid financial foundation that will benefit them throughout their lives. Regardless of whether it is Bitcoin or fiat currency, it is important that children understand the basics of money first.

So please I don't deserve this tag, at least not this time please...

From what I can see, it looks like your account has only received one neutral feedback from a DT member, specifically from lovesmayfamilis. After reviewing the feedback, it appears to be based on factual information, and I don't see anything unfair about it.

lovesmayfamilis    2023-05-20    Reference    This account has a history of cheating with several alternate accounts.

Even if the feedback is negative, it would still be considered an appropriate use of the trust system in this case.

Yes, I've been a member for a long time, but for other reasons.

If a member has been inactive for a significant amount of time, it can raise concerns as to whether they are the original owner of the account or if they are using a disposable alt account, particularly in the case of newbie accounts.

I "woke up" with this idea only recently and I'm trying to understand if it's possible.

Sure, it's definitely possible to start a lending service as a newbie without a reputation, but you gotta think about it from the borrower's perspective. Why would they choose to borrow from you and risk their collateral when they have more established lenders to choose from? And if you offer a service without collateral, how will you protect yourself from potential scammers? It's important to consider these factors before starting a lending service.
1247  Economy / Gambling / Re: Using ToS against users normal? on: May 25, 2023, 01:37:06 PM
Many online gambling websites have clauses in their terms and conditions that allow them to change the terms without notifying users or gamblers. This can be frustrating for users who may feel like they are being taken advantage of or unfairly treated. However, this is not unique to online gambling websites. Many companies and services have similar clauses in their terms and conditions. Is it legal? The short answer is yes. Most countries have laws that allow companies to change their terms and conditions without notifying users. This is because it is assumed that users will read the terms and conditions at least periodically throughout their use. If users do not agree with the changes made by a company, they can stop using that service and go to another provider. While this may not be the most ideal situation for users, it is still legal. However, there are some countries that have laws that prohibit companies from changing their terms and conditions without notifying users. This means that gambling websites that operate in these countries should not use such a clause.

In my experience, gambling websites usually notify users of changes to their terms and conditions via email or on the website itself. This is a good practice because it allows users to decide whether they want to keep using that service or not. If a user does not agree with these changes, they can simply stop using that service. Any company that cares about its reputation should have such a standard. However, every company is different. Some companies have a bad reputation for not being transparent about their business practices while others have a good reputation for doing the right thing.

On the mobile app, you cannot set the fees specifically, you can only choose from a range of low priority, medium or high, while on the desktop version you can choose the exact fee you wish to pay on the transactions.

Even on the mobile version of the Electrum wallet there are three options for fee estimation algorithms that you can choose: Static, Mempool and ETA (same as on the desktop version). If you choose a STATIC fee option, you can choose a fee within the range of 1 to 300 sat/vByte using the slider on the left. This gives you good control over the fee you wish to allocate for your transactions.
1249  Economy / Gambling / Re: Help us to choose a bonus for a review campaign! on: May 24, 2023, 03:57:31 PM
I would have to say that ratings and reviews should not be incentivized in the first place.

That seems incredibly intransparent and the review will not really be worth much. If anything this is just Megapari asking for a manufactured, inauthentic review from their own gambling community.  Of course they will only give a positive review, not only because those people want a bonus for their account but also because they are already biased in favor of the casino.

That's really a bit disappointing. I am not sure if I would want to trust such a casino after this.

Well, I must say, there are a few conflicting thoughts running through my mind on this one. On one hand, I can understand your point about incentivized reviews. It does raise concerns about transparency and the potential for manufactured or biased feedback. It's true that if people are solely motivated by bonuses, their reviews might not hold much value.

However, on the other hand, one could argue that offering incentives might encourage more people to participate and share their experiences, leading to a wider range of feedback. Additionally, it's possible that some participants genuinely appreciate the bonuses and are willing to provide honest reviews. Take for example the review campaigns that some other casinos have organized in the past. It's hard to argue that all those reviews were fake or insincere, especially when you consider that not all of them were glowing recommendations. In fact, many participants provide genuine feedback, both positive and negative, sharing their real experiences.

So before jumping to conclusions about Megapari's campaign, let's give it a fair chance and see what kind of reviews they receive. Only then can we judge the authenticity and credibility of the feedback received. People can still provide honest feedback, even if there are rewards involved.

A lot of applicants are just flat-out ignoring those requests (more the second than the first), either because they find them inconvenient, or because they're not aware of them. Undecided

Is it possible that the manager is intentionally employing this strategy as a test? Wink

While I don't want to make any assumptions specific to this case, it's not uncommon for managers to adopt various methods to differentiate between exceptional individuals and those who may not meet the desired criteria. After all, managers have the ability to modify the initial post and introduce new requests or rule changes if they wish to do so.

Many of us here would appreciate receiving bitcoins as compensation for our effort and time spent reviewing your casino. However, it might be worth considering a combination of different incentives. By offering a range of bonuses like free spins, or even VIP perks, you can provide a comprehensive incentive package. This approach would showcase the casino's appreciation for reviewers and its commitment to establishing a mutually beneficial relationship.

In addition, it would be useful to establish clear guidelines and criteria for the reviews, ensuring the quality of the feedback received. By doing so, you can effectively reward participants while also gaining valuable insights to enhance your casino offerings. Given the existence of several review campaigns for different casinos on this forum, it would be beneficial for you to analyze and learn from their approaches. Understanding what has worked well in those campaigns can help you design a successful review campaign that meets the expectations of participants and yields valuable feedback for your casino.

Da, mislim da je Ledger napravio nepopravljivu štetu i sam sebi pucao u stopalo s ovim. U otvorenom pismu, izvršni direktor Ledgera Pascal Gauthier je priznao da je tvrtka napravila pogrešku u komunikaciji, "što je izazvalo zabrinutost među kripto zajednicom i utjecalo na razumijevanje kupaca o ulozi Ledger Recovera". Zanimljivo je da i dalje nisu odustali od ove glupe ideje, već su ju samo odgodili, i donijet će novi roadmap u kojemu će biti prioritet otvaranje koda osnovnih komponenti OS-a i Ledger Recover protokola.

I understand your post very well but I told the manager I run multiple accounts but he didn't give any importance so I posted here without any help.

It seems like you might be mixing up the roles of the bounty campaign manager and the forum moderators. The bounty campaign manager is responsible for overseeing the bounty program, while the forum moderators handle the forum's rules and regulations. If you have any concerns about a specific bounty campaign, I suggest you reach out to the right person who can actually take care of the issue.

It will be cheaper for companies to buy copper membership and manage their campaigns by themselves but they will have to spend more time building trust within the community before they can be recognized.

Well, that's not always the way it goes. I get why it might seem like a money-saver for companies to handle their campaigns on their own, but you should consider the bigger picture. Just assuming that every business owner should do everything themselves to cut costs doesn't always work out in reality.

Here's my thinking: hiring professionals who specialize in campaign management can bring some serious benefits. These experts have the know-how, industry knowledge, and a fresh set of eyes that can make a real difference. They can help streamline the process, fine-tune strategies, avoid common pitfalls, and ultimately maximize the impact of your campaigns. So, while you might think doing it all in-house is the budget-friendly way to go, it's worth considering the long-term benefits of working with experienced professionals. It's all about finding that sweet spot where costs meet the value they bring to the table.

Tu izjavu je prenijelo jako puno medija u RH i gotovo svi su sada stavili znak jednakosti ispred kripta i ponzi-ja.

Istina. Zbilja me smeta način na koji mainstream mediji izvještavaju o ovakvim situacijama. Prva slika koju stavljaju je obično Bitcoin logo ili fizički primjerak coina, a pričaju o ponzi prijevari ili nezakonitom investicijskom fondu. To stvara negativnu percepciju kod neupućenih gledatelja o cijelom kripto tržištu.

Well, when it comes to my own experiences, it's been quite a mix with gamblers and investors. Yes, at first glance, bringing in gamblers seems appealing because they already get the whole risk thing. But here's the deal: it's just as important to educate them about responsible gambling and the downsides that come with it. Novice gamblers are often very impulsive, which can lead to serious problems. If they're not educated on how to manage their money, they can easily overspend on betting and lose everything.

Now, when it comes to investors in the crypto world, it's a whole different ballgame. We're talking about discussing market trends, future prospects, and managing expectations. Yeah, it may require more chatting and addressing their fears and confidence levels. But hey, it can also lead to some really valuable insights and long-term growth. So, when it comes to helping investors, I'm more of a coach than a financial advisor. I don't just tell people what to do with their money; I help them make the right decisions based on their personal goals and risk tolerance.

So, what's the point? The point is that it's important to know your audience and how they're approaching their investments. If you're dealing with investors who know what they're doing, then it may be best to leave them alone and let them do their thing. But if you have people who are new to investing or have been burned before by the market, then it's time to step in and help them out.
1257  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there play and pay later casinos? on: May 19, 2023, 06:41:21 PM
So is gambling debt one way or other possible without the person taking loan or borrowing money?

Casino credit is usually provided to players based on their creditworthiness. In many jurisdictions, it's legal for casinos to offer credit for gambling, but they have to follow some strict rules and regulations. The casinos require individuals to meet specific criteria, such as demonstrating a good credit history, before they lend them money for gambling. gambling debt, in general, is legally enforceable in most jurisdictions, regardless of whether it was incurred through casino credit or other means. If a person fails to repay their gambling debt, the casino or relevant authorities may take legal action against that individual for debt collection.

Unfortunately, there are also illegal methods for borrowing money specifically for gambling, and one such practice is known as loan sharking. Loan sharking involves individuals lending money to others, but in a predatory manner. These lenders charge exorbitant interest rates, often accompanied by threats or acts of violence to ensure repayment. It's an underground and illicit activity that operates outside the legal framework.
1258  Economy / Gambling / Re: Sportsbook offering VAR market on: May 19, 2023, 11:56:12 AM
And maybe that's why the bookmakers wanted to apply it to their sites so people don't think they're cheating gamblers.
But somehow, the reaction of the gamblers is if, for example, they have won the match but it turns out that the referee disallowed the goal that came in because it was proven that there was cheating in the match.
They will surely be disappointed to see that, as they were not aware of any foul play in that match and only saw it as a goal conceded.
It looks like the bookmakers need to collect data from gamblers and maybe they can vote on their members before they apply it to their site.
In what way a sportsbook can cheat the gambler? I think they have no association with the game. This is not like the typical casino sites where manipulation can happen. Bookmakers wants this VAR because they believe on its decision more than the referees but it would be better to have another market for non-VAR games because there are some people who dislike it.

There might be some difference in the outcome of the games between bar and non VAR. Cheating or match-fixing in a live match done by the players is another story. Only the real/human referee can noticed this and stopped them. Sportsbook will need to arrange bets accordingly when this happens.

It seems like there might be some confusion among members regarding the VAR market in sportsbooks, and some may not even understand what it actually means. In simple terms, VAR is just another event or factor that can influence the outcome of a sports match. So, when bookies introduce the VAR market, they're basically giving you a chance to bet on how VAR decisions might affect the outcome of a game. For example, one can bet on whether a goal will be disallowed or a penalty will be awarded due to a VAR intervention. It adds an extra layer of unpredictability to the betting experience.

But for some, VAR is still kinda fresh and not everyone is used to it or knows how to deal with it when placing their bets.
1259  Economy / Gambling / Re: NFTonSPIN.com - Leading Crypto Casino With Get Full Refund If Not Satisfied on: May 19, 2023, 11:18:47 AM
Welcome to the forum, @nftonspin! It's great to have you here.
I'd like to address a few points that have been brought up by previous members. Firstly, it would be helpful if you could provide clearer details about your "full refund" policy. Transparency is key when it comes to customer expectations.

On another note, I must commend your casino's low deposit/withdrawal threshold of only 0.0001 BTC. That's a user-friendly feature that makes your platform more accessible. However, I feel compelled to express some concerns regarding your "network transaction fee" of 0.001 BTC. In my opinion, this fee seems excessive considering the current network conditions.

Typically, with a transaction fee of 100 sat/vB, which is the recommended "high priority" rate, all transactions are confirmed without any issues in the first block. For an average transaction, this fee should only amount to a few dollars. Comparatively, your fee is significantly higher, which may discourage potential players who are simply looking to try out a new casino. It's worth considering the impact this fee could have on attracting new customers, especially since your platform doesn't have an established reputation within the community yet.

I hope you take these suggestions into account.
1260  Economy / Gambling / Re: Enough to consider a casino scam? on: May 19, 2023, 09:25:23 AM
There was a casino scam done with lasers vs a roulette wheel.  It measured bias on which numbers best to bet on every turn, somehow they created a system that would put players into profit.  The players won so much the casino came over and recognized lasers were being used.    The players won millions so it actually went into a court case, the Judge decided no specific rule existed to say players may not use lasers on casino premises so he gave a court order for the winnings to be released to players despite their extra scientific help.
  Maybe the judge thought it was good for science or academic endeavors, anyhow the casino lost but will have altered their rules and preconditions for play to include such genius inventions as gamesmanship outside of what they will ever allow as a win.

Interesting story, but I can't understand why would you refer to it as a scam. If all the player did was to use a laser to (I imagine) measure imperfections of the roulette wheel and take advantage of that, without tampering with it in any way - then I see nothing morally wrong with that. Good for him.
Assuming that whenever a player finds a way to shift the edge to his side it must be some sort of scam on his part is a bit unfair.
But it's amazing how creative people can get when there is money to be made.

Quite the intriguing tale indeed! Referring to it as a scam may indeed be a stretch if the player merely used a laser to analyze imperfections in the roulette wheel, but even if they didn't tamper with the roulette wheel directly, it feels like an unfair advantage. it's a fine line between what's considered fair play and exploiting vulnerabilities. This story certainly sparks an interesting debate.
