I guess gambling is a place to spend money, not a place to make money.
Nahh.. Gambling is the activity and casino / online casino is the place to spend your money, risk and gamble it.

I have not heard of anyone rich because of gambling, or there are rich people with a source of income from gambling.

Gambling is just for fun,
Normally it's for fun but the purpose of earning some is also there.

Things that are simple can easily caught up if there is someone that's trying to breach your keys out.

Especially when that someone is using a simple baseball bat to get them from you LOL.
Jokes aside though, the method I have described above is about as simple as it may get and very secure.
Not just a baseball bat but also a gun?

12403  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: why facebook and twitter are too low on: April 23, 2018, 03:16:17 PM
in a social network involves a very large number of people because the working conditions are simple, and the budget that was allocated to social networks is shared between all participants,
Influences in social networks are also high and you're right that the task is simple and easy so the reward isn't that high. And ICOs do believe that facebook and twitter allocation should be low as it has been started by the early projects. Signature campaign is the highest stake AFAIK because this is the main forum for bitcoin and also works for the Altcoins so that's what others should understand and curious with the allocation.

12404  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin hit $25k in 2018? on: April 23, 2018, 02:52:08 PM
I would think almost all people including Bitcoin fanboys got prediction wrong for the past few years.
I'm one of those fan boys who predicted wrong with bitcoin last year. I thought that bitcoin would only be stable at $1,000 by the end of 2017 but look on how it was quick and reached more than my expectation.

So, i think everything is possible in Bitcoin and crypto.
Last years price was not only doubled to the price of 2016's end year so it can go multiple times, quadruple times, more than that, name it.
12405  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: How much could a Bounty Manager ask for with no prior experience? on: April 23, 2018, 02:33:25 PM
Are there any other factors that I have not thought about yet? (besides the dev's bugdet mentioned above) 
I can't tell you since I'm not a campaign manager myself, let's wait for someone to tell if you did missed something.
This is what im waiting for someone to answer which do have experience on managing campaigns but i do believe rates and agreements would really depend between the manager and the company itself.Yet you are just starting out then you would normally offer lower rates than into those experienced and reputable ones. As far as i know they do make specific allocation budget for a number of participants either they would make it on fixed or basis manner.
When someone starts with his own career expect that you won't be offered high but that's fine, it's a stepping stone for someone that wants to become a campaign manager. Even in real world, in industry, if you apply for a job and you don't have experience what can you expect? It's an advantage for the company to hire those no experience people to do the harder job so that they can pay lower.
12406  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Does it look like cryptos will skyrocket again very soon ? on: April 23, 2018, 02:00:58 PM
again does it look like cryptos will soon skyrocket and regain it's upward trend???
Bitcoin is starting to be stable at $8,000 while other altcoins are also moving upward so it's now time to say that we are on upward trend.

Are there any traders among you who sold their coins in December?
I did sold some but not that much so that's a little profit but it's still a profit so I should be thankful to it.
12407  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Had bad experience with any exchange? on: April 21, 2018, 04:05:08 PM
Cryptopia does have a lot of bad reviews not only here in the forum but you can google them.

I have used few exchanges and I'm currently using same as your with binance. I can give you a good review about kucoin, I have never any issues with them and I can guarantee that you'll happily trade there.
12408  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: How much could a Bounty Manager ask for with no prior experience? on: April 21, 2018, 03:34:47 PM
Do managers charge for a certain number of participants?
Again base on the budget and on your talks and contracts. There are managers who are being paid base on how many participants they are managing and there managers who are paid fixed with more or less participants.

Does the pay significantly change depending on the length of the campaign?
Well if you want to demand to the owner, you can but I don't think it changes. If you are paid with $$ in value so when price fluctuates there can be a significant change on your fee.
E.g
You are paid $100 weekly with bitcoin.
$100 / $8,821 (value of bitcoin) =  0.0113BTC
0.0113BTC can change if the price goes up or lower.

Are there any other factors that I have not thought about yet? (besides the dev's bugdet mentioned above)

12409  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BTC up nicely over the past few days. But, BCH....! on: April 21, 2018, 03:17:27 PM
Anyone have any idea why?

BCH turned out to be a nice airdrop. 
It has a support from the community and Ver has shilled this coin that much so it's price is spiking but this isn't the peak. During bitcoin's ATH, it did also an ATH.

Maybe time to sell/trade it?
I dumped this coin already after the fork and I don't intend to support this coin that wants to take over and has the guts to say that it's the real bitcoin.
12410  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: How much could a Bounty Manager ask for with no prior experience? on: April 21, 2018, 03:00:00 PM
Thus, I am would like to know how much a Bounty Manager would be paid with no any real experience (besides being a translator but who really cares about that).
Everything starts from nothing, newbie --> higher level so it all depends to your offer on how much you are willing to accept by managing campaigns.

I would also like to know what are the factors that affect the pay (no. of participants, length of the campaign etc?)
If you are talking commissions, you can also take note that there are campaigns that has least budget so that's the biggest factor that can affect the pay.
12411  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: How much can you earn from signature campaigns? on: April 20, 2018, 01:00:47 PM
Depends on the campaign that you joined. I'm in a bitcoin paying campaign right now and I got a senior member rate that pays maximum of 0.004 BTC for 20 posts weekly. But sometimes I'm not reaching the maximum pay but what's good for pay to post campaigns are you don't have to fill quota as long you reach the minimum post.

Assuming I've earned maximum for 4 weeks( 1 month ) * 0.004 = 0.016 BTC + 0.0045 BTC avatar bonus which makes it 0.0205 BTC.
12412  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How do you keep your mnemonic phrases? on: April 20, 2018, 12:45:07 PM
But how you will identify it if you are about to retrieve the wallet? You have to put some hint of doing this. This came to my mind but I'm very easy to forget and my memory doesn't works well now.
The "story" part gave me an idea. Maybe it can be encrypted into a poem that can be then memorized. Would be longer but seems easier to memorize than a random sequence of words. Thanks for the suggestion.
Wooah I remember someone suggested and created this type of encryption to his private key. Making a story with the use of your private keys will give confusion if someone accidentally sees your PK's. Thanks for reminding me about this type of sequence and the story thing.  This is familiar to me and it's a good way to protect it that way, you don't have to memorize it you only need some hints on what are the most important words.

Yeah, I'm thinking along the lines of a number sequence you can easily remember (special dates, etc) and using that as key to extract the words form the sentence. Am starting to read up on cryptography now. Interesting stuff.
Good luck about that mate and give us your little update if you are done with it.

I think this is over the top. I've never seen a book printed on a grid, so I presume you'd have to do that yourself, too.
He has to do it alone and it's DIY security.


Why bother? Keep things simple.
Things that are simple can easily caught up if there is someone that's trying to breach your keys out.
12413  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Effects of Gambling on: April 20, 2018, 12:29:57 PM
so if my advice is better stop gambling
Stop if you fail most of the time. But if you are lucky and you are winning then just push but you have to take some of your profits and make sure that you had enough.

Gambling results in both good and bad effect
One of the good effect of it is what I said above and for the bad effects, we all know what are those bad effects.
12414  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Did you agree Chamath Palihapitiya Bitcoin price prediction?? on: April 20, 2018, 12:13:36 PM
His prediction for bitcoin runs to $1,000,000 is more believable than John McAfee's. And regards to his prediction for year 2020 and 2021, it's also possible 3-4 years from now. While comparing to Tim Drapers prediction on 2022 which is equals to $250,000 it seems that they are following a pattern.

I would believe to those people who has been bullish to bitcoin instead of believing those bearish.
12415  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin market has already hit bottom for 2018 on: April 20, 2018, 12:01:34 PM
The IMF have put out a new report which is much more positive towards crypto than it was before.
This one. Bitcoin boosted by IMF chief Christine Lagarde’s praise

Christine Lagarde has showed her interest to bitcoin since last year (IIRC) and she's bullish to it.

Although many media do not see BTC, BTC is a bubble!
Not only the medias but those economists and bankers who have plans of buying during the dip. They never stop calling bitcoin a bubble.
12416  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How much do you earn in Twitter / Facebook Bounties ? on: April 19, 2018, 04:55:35 AM
1) How much did you get in last Twitter/ Facebook Bounty ?
I joined Eligma's twitter campaign and it pays me 0.001BTC weekly.

2) Most profitable Bounty you joined and how much you got ?
I joined campaigns and all of them are profitable, not that much but its a good incentive.

3) Is it still profitable to join a Twitter/Facebook Bonunty ?
It is. If you gain something that you can sell rightaway or you want to hold it until it cost more, it's profitable.
12417  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Verge's Partnership Announcement XVG on: April 19, 2018, 04:39:12 AM
I being FOMO now. And I bought a fairly large amount compared to my ability. But that is also started to feel a bit sad because the bottom was deeper. But I still wait. Someone tell me please. i do so is true or fail? thanks
This is why I don't take announcements seriously. It's more of a hype that they want to increase the demand by making something that excites their investors and attracts more investors. What you did is wrong, you should learn from this incident that you should FOMO in the future. Just buying during the news or announcements makes you a weak investor and its only your basis why you are investing. If you'll sell now, your at loss right? You need to be patient and wait until it recovers but I can't guarantee you that it will.

Are you pertaining to the current state of the blockchain network? I don't think it's so slow nowadays.

Funny how people call this the currency of the future. It's more like a bottle from hell!
Bitcoin believer no more?

If it costs more then it will lose its competitive advantage with other forms of remittance such as bank, paypal, ...
The advantage is still there which there will be no 3rd parties involved for each individuals transaction.

Mnemonic is an unencrypted private key. If it's discover by unauthorized parties, then they can have complete access to it. The following are the key points to remember.

1. Back up mnemonic immediately, when you create a wallet in imToken
2. Copy mnemonic on a piece of paper, don't use screenshots.
3. Ensure the mnemonic is correct, you can check out by Myetherwallet.
4. Keep your mnemonic safe when you save it.

Anyone who discovers the phrase can steal the bitcoins, so it must be kept safe like cash. Never type it on a website.
You miss our little discussion. Before telling us on what we should you at least read on what we are talking about the encryption thing and by the way of hiding PK's through making a "story" type which is composed of those words. Maybe you just misquote our conversion mate but we are on bitcoin discussion and MEW is an altcoin so you better put that piece of advice on the Altcoin Discussion if someone asks on how he can keep his mnemonic phrases on MEW.
