Gambling that has Multiplayer?

There used be 1vs1 on primedice.. but no more.
Why they removed that option? |There was something wrong with it (possible exploits) or it was simply unpopular?

AFAIK they removed the pvp game because there were some players exploit it whenever there was happy hours. Something like playing pvp with their own alts to collect as many as btc.
But I could be wrong on this.

Yes, you are right. That is exactly the reason why they removed the pvp from dice gambling sites. The minimum tip is 50k sats, so thats not easy to make the 50k from faucet and then tip your alt with it, but with pvp you could transfer any amount to your alt immediately and then claim from the faucet again.
12762  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you believe we need more ways of advertising Bitcoin currency? on: October 16, 2015, 06:36:39 AM
A good way to advertise the bitcoin community would be to develop an actual mascot.  One that portrays of the value of Bitcoin - namely it's irreversible nature, and ease of use. 

That's a wonderful idea! We can even start a separate thread on this topic and start discussing it there.



The community as a whole should start a fund and pay some artists who can draw.

Only I think that not just any artist could do it. I think we need one of the best contemporary artists in the world for this.
I propose Banksy.
12763  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will the world look like in 10 years if Bitcoin succeeds? on: October 15, 2015, 03:21:52 PM
We've had a million predictions of doom, all the bad things that can happen if Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies spread. We have also had an unending stream of "Bitcoin is dead" and "Bitcoin won't last another year" predictions.

What I would like is to try to imagine a best case scenario of how the world could change for the better if Bitcoin became as popular as e-mail or social networks and billions of people were using it.

So... what is your best case scenario for 2025?



1. The price of 1BTC will be around $2k.

2. Almost everyone will have two-way Satellite Internet and thus BTC will be a helpful thing in any location in whatever the circumstances.

3. Fiat money will be so unreliable in some countries that people there will use mostly Bitcoins.
12764  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: cash remains the only option if there's an emergency on: October 15, 2015, 02:57:44 PM

The whole thing was very local. Everything was fine a few km North, but this shall reminds us that if there's a serious emergency, cash is the only safe option.
You're just using one specific example to demonstrate a broad topic, catastrophes happen. And lastly, your cash may flow and be useless but your bitcoins are always safe in the blockchain(if you remember the private key to recover them that is)

Yes, they are but if you ned to buy food right now they are useless.

However, I hope that in the near future two-way satellite internet will be affordable to anyone and then Bitcoins might be helpful in the situation mentioned above.
12765  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much can you earn with gambling? on: October 15, 2015, 01:56:08 PM
I don't gable to earn money. I know it is almost impossible to earn more than you invested. I rather like the thrill of uncertainty gambling brings.
I usually bet only low stakes, maximum 0.001 BTC. So I don't cry later when I lose.

It is REALLY difficult to make profit with gambling, gambling is meant to entertain not to make profit. If someone wants to make profit and have that gambling feeling he should try the stock exchange.

No it is not difficult at all, gambling is the easiest way to make profit and living.
The chance to win in gambling is 50:50 , if you win your money get doubled if not try again and again.
It is so simply right? If you decide to be a professional gambler then you should learn a lot. If not you just need to find your lucky.

But if you lost, how can you "try again and again"? Where can you get the money?

The answer is simple (to wright, but not to have irl): infinite supply. Yes you can make living from gambling if you have an infinite supply of money. This was stated many times before and I can see no other option.
12766  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If bitcoin ever goes mainstream on: October 15, 2015, 01:44:09 PM
Bitcoin will go mainstream surely as the change has already begun.We can not just see the speed of change it is much more faster than we imagine.It is inevitable now as lot of the water has flown under the bridges.Governments as well as bankers are failed to stop Bitcoin in last couple of years.A totally new era of financial freedom and privacy is to come soon.

I don't think there's anything guaranteeing mass mainstream adoption. Sure it might and it it does go there it will take several years but part of me just thinks most of the general public just has no need or desire to use bitcoin so the mainstream will largely avoid it. I thiunk it will still have its niche uses online and in some industries but will remain relatively underground still. I hope to be wrong though.

You are right so far, but I hope this situation will change soon for better (and I think that part of you has the same hope  Wink ).

Mostly people don't want to use BTC because they don't know whether it's relible and they don't have time to explore the subject more. Things that come to mind when they hear the word "Bitcoin" are: Silk Road, MtGox's collapse and other negative things unfortunately. As soon as BTC starts receiving positive publicity the mainstream adoption will rise exponentially.
12767  Economy / Services / Re: Antminer s5+ purchase on: October 15, 2015, 11:46:07 AM
He is wrong the going price for an S5 standard is 300$ with shipping included, that and the location they are in could definitely have moisture in the air and have damaged some of the hardware.

I understand that it looks horrible on the picture I took, but actually the miners are located in the attic, not in the cellar, so there is no excessive moisture there.



Depends where you sell it.  Ebay looks like 350 is doable but there is lots of fees.  On forum it is going to be more along the 300.

Only possible way he get's 500 is if he's in a country with huge vat/import tax (some are 25 precent which is crazy).  In these high vat areas I could see 400+ pretty easy.  

Yes, he's in Ukraine where vat/import tax stands at 20 percent as far as I know. He says that he already checked local forums and knows for sure that he can easily sell s5 for 400+, but he's looking for $500. )

In my home country, ENGLAND, they are charging 20% vat on electronic goods. I don't think you have to pay VAT on resail as you already paid it on purchase!

No, of course not! Nobody is going to pay VAT again.  Smiley

The talk was about that if in a country the VAT is as big as 20% and more it will be possible to sell used s5 for 400+ because the imported ones will cost more.
12768  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin: Should you stay or should you go? on: October 15, 2015, 09:24:02 AM
We should not leave Bitcoin even if prices drop.
Bitcoin's acceptancy will keep grow, feel secure.

There should be at least limit of price drop. Don't just trust Bitcoins. Trust all the factors that can move Bitcoin prices. For example if Bitcoin price will drop to let's say $10 or $2 as an example stated above. Do you think the factors of it that's why it reached that mark will not be taken seriously by some miners or individuals? It will taken seriously starting from $100 like the one poster says.

Yes, but this will never happen. I can see no reasons for such drop in price of BTC. Of course we may speculate about it just for fun but seriuosly it's like speculating about what would happen if the US dollar will be cheaper than the Russian rouble. )
12769  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will we have higher fees and lower network security after halving day? on: October 15, 2015, 09:12:24 AM
I predict that by summer 2016 when the halving will occur the price of BTC will rise twofold (the rising has started already) and it will be pretty profitable to mine BTC especially with the new s7.

OP, I can't understand why do you predict consequent drop in price of BTC months later? Do you really think that by Jan 2017 the price of BTC wil be under $300? Because I think that with rising popularity of BTC the prise will rise too, and after the time of halving the price will never be lower than $550.

-- If someone wants to convert a VERY LARGE amount of BTC to cash, how would they go about it?



Here's the article which might be interesting to read about the owner of Sheep Marketplace, who had stolen around $40M in BTC and bought a house worth $340,000 with part of the stolen BTC.

12771  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BITCOIN the PORN and GAMBLING future? on: October 15, 2015, 07:23:56 AM
I think if all people who are using porn sites knew about Bitcoin they would definitely choose to use it for many reasons which were already mentioned above. So the matter depends on the operators of the porn sites.

As for the gambling sites, well, it's already the present for many of them.

12772  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is there a way to earn at least $1 in BTC per hour? on: October 14, 2015, 02:27:08 PM
If you widen your range to altcoins, organize a good schedule for doing faucets (several tabs, selecting the best etc) and keep yourself in chats were they tip some coins for chatting (there are in IRC and some exchanges) I think it is possible to get 1$ worth of altcoin+bitcoin an hour.

At least for 1 hour, as many faucets have several hours to be allowed to claim again.
also try mining altcoins, and when they go up sell them. should be a pretty good way of earning a bunch of money.


i don't think mining is such a good idea. because not only altcoins are cheep but also they have a very risky market which can go down due to a sudden dump and all your efforts go down with it.

also not to mention that you have to invest first in mining equipment or at least in a good GPU. and all that will consume a lot of electricity which you have to pay for. besides the lifetime of your GPU would be lower too due to working overtime all the time.

I agree with you that mining altcoins is a very risky pursuit. And considering that this topic was read 5541 times already I assume that more people than just me are reading answers to my question, so I want to add something for them about investing in altcoins.

The main problem with altcoins, especially with unknown, with new ones, is not that they are cheap. Yes, they are  cheap, but you can mine them much easier than BTC or LTC and at first sight it might seem that you are mining the equivalent amount to that if you were mining Bitcoins, you just need to do an exchange. But the real problem is that they are becoming cheaper and cheaper.

Take DogeCoin for example: it was almost 300 sats 1.5 ago and now it's less than 50 sats.
Another example is a pretty new coin - DTT, which was 60 sats 3 weeks ago a now it sells at 11 sats.

So I wouldn't say that mining altcoins or investing in them are good ways to make some BTC.

The hard skills are way more important when you are doing a job interview for example. Using your soft skills you are looking like a deceiver then, but if you have hard skills they will immediately see that you know what you are talking about and they will hire you.

Depends on the job of course, but I'd stick to the hard skills.

12776  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do u invest or u trying to make something from giveaways? on: October 14, 2015, 09:30:55 AM
giveaways are much better than faucets.

unless in happy hours, but they are not as common as in the past anymore

What happens to me is every time when there is a happy hour I have something on my balance. Sometimes I even have a thought "maybe I should lose everything fast to see what can I get from the faucet in this happy hour?".  Smiley Maybe I should really do it at least once.

As for the OP's question, I do not invest if by invest you investing in the gambling sites, but I do deposit sometimes to gamble a little.

It's one of drugs used in mind control experiments.

Yeah, sure! Two injections of marijuana will make you gay and serial killer!  Grin Grin

So you should never ever inject marijuana or you'll become a zombie-puppet controlled by the evil government.

I agree that Obama is a puppet, just like all the other presidents of all other countries, but it has nothing to do with his ethnicity.

And since he's a puupet why blame him for his actions? Blame the puppeteers who pull the strings which result in his actions. Isn't that more logical?

Hello Im already upload my avatar yesterday, but
@shadows

Lenteracoin balance: 21
satoshibtc balance: 0
ltbcoin balance: 0

 Smiley

Don't worry I'm sure your satoshibtc balance will be credited with 100k sats soon like mine yesterday was.

However I have one question. Since you can't withdraw less than 500k sats, how is it possible to earn the additional 400k on this site?

Thank you for your question, our forums are built to establish new communities for education bitcoin in the future, all advertising profits and the cooperation of developers altcoins we will continue to share giveaway in the forum, and keep in mind that all balance altcoins or bitcoin on our forum will benefit 15% every month, and was generated from advertising revenue sharing and other forums.

http://forum.lenteracoin.com/pure-profit-from-your-altcoins/

Thanks for the answer, but it looks like it will take a year to go from 100k to 500k with 15% benefit every month. What I was asking was is there a way to earn the additional 400k on this site faster?
