cool, let's see if you can revive your dead poker site;
for whatever it's worth, i will use any chance to play and win the game,
leaving you penniless - that's what you good for and deserve in full!

Dude, cmon you got caught creating multiple accounts and if you don't like the site feel free to leave and move on into another poker site.. no point crying in here..

I don't think anyone would mind if he actually started to play the rake games (risking his own funds) instead of just abusing freerolls.

I'd say, let him play.

Having multiple accounts increase your chance beating players playing with 1 account in a table play..

some people take benefit on tournament freeroll, i think it not fair enough. maybe admin must banned who play use multiple account

the problem is players can use VPN or proxy that makes it harder to catch them cheating.

For sure this is an issue.  But the good thing is that poker is a skill game so if you don't know how to play, having many accounts isn't that great of an advantage because you have to spread out your brain power---as was said above.

Anyway, will anyone be playing in the 25mBTC GTD in a few hours?

Using a bot is fine... as long as it actually works, but there needs to be some occasional manual checking. Making a post 75 characters long doesn't mean the post isn't spam, and can be abused in several ways to get around it like this and the Malin Keshar situation. That user should obviously be kicked off the campaign for making poor posts alone.

I looked at his recent posts and almost all of them are in chinese.  I certainly can't judge the quality.  It's cool to know that you speak Chinese tho, hillarious.  For some reason I thought you had told me you were Candian (not that there aren't candians who speak chinese, but that's certainly not the stereotype).

I see it may be hard for you to scroll down, like just a little but here im going to quote his last posts so you can judge:
I can't figure out why people feel the need to be assholes just because it's the internet.

All of them have poor quality + the spaces i was talking about earlier, you can just see it when quoting

Jeesus dude, I guess it must be hard for you to click "next page", but if you do, you'll find pages and pages in chinese many of them very long winded. I have no idea what he's saying and my point was merely that it looks like English is probably not his first language.  I don't know what quality of posts you achieve when writing in a language that you don't know too well.  But either way, there's no need to get all snippy.  Pull your panties out of your butt and relax.

The 75 character minimum was likely instituted as a way to prevent people from spamming their signature with a lot of insubstantial posts. It was probably not anticipated that people would try to cheat the system (or maybe it was and the parties didn't do anything to prevent this).

I think it is interesting that bitmixer has almost the exact same rules, yet they have not encountered similar problems.
I think it speaks to the quality of the counting script, clearly the one coinomat is using has some serious issues.
Quote

People have complained that they were "unfairly" banned/removed from their campaign so it should be clear that someone is watching in the background even though they are not active in the forum.

I agree with hillarious on this, it only makes sense to use a script to do rote (and concretely defined) tasks like counting posts and excluding certain sections---robots do a much more accurate job than humans an this kind of work.  But when it comes to understanding context and making judgements about quality, robots are not even close to what a human can do. To not use a human for this latter job is to deny its importance.  And I agree that folks who are advertizing on here and not caring about the consequences of how they go about this should have to answer for this.

I'll tell you right now that's nowhere near enough to invest to make a difference.

pretty much this, 5 USD as an investment will bring you pennies in profit if youre lucky; best bet is to invet in some dice site's bankroll and hope you get lucky or something; not much else to invest in with that amount.

Yah, maybe conver the 0.02BTC into CLAMs on POLONIEX, that would be about 4 CLAM, then buy into Just-Dice's bankroll and in a month you might have 5 CLAM.  If it sounds like a joke it's because it kinda is.  I mean you can't really expect to do that well on such a small amount of money.

You asked about the signature campaigns, you'll have to wait until your account is a little bit older and then you can join up.  See the overview thread in services.

Oh, and welcome and good luck!

Heya Doog, I gave this a try tonight and I ended up getting the message from the just-dice.com/pushtx page "transaction rejected".  This made me wonderi if I gave the private key in the wrong format.  I was using wallet import format (key starts with a 5), is that right?

When you run the big long command, you should get back something like:

Quote
{
    "hex" : "0200[...]3433",
    "complete" : true
}

If you see "false" instead of "true", it means it wasn't able to find all the private keys it needed, which in your case should just be one of them.

The private key is meant to be in WIF, starting with a 5 for BTC keys. It will also accept the corresponding CLAM, LTC, or DOGE private keys in the same format.

So that's the first thing: did you see "compete" as true or false? If false, you're giving a valid private key, but the wrong one. If true, you're likely copy/pasting incorrectly. You need to copy just the hex value, without the quotes.

Thanks for the debugging suggestion, I see "true".  I'm quite confident about the validity of my private key as well.  However, I'l go back and double-check all the steps.

EDIT: I re-pasted and now it says "OK".  It's a little strange because I was using the same rawtransaction data sitting there in the terminal window.  I had double-checked the quotes before I posted, who knows?  Something must have been different.  In any case, I'm sure I'l see the balance show up in my JD account shortly.  Thanks again for making the tool to produce the raw transaction so easily.

Well the why not is that it's an address I was using for cold-storage and since I don't want to keep my savings in an address that I've given away the private key for then I'd have to first move the coins that are there.  I'd do it if CLAM is high, but not worth the trouble if CLAM is low.  But hey, I thought all the addys that were funded were funded at the 4.6 level.  What other level is there?

There's only the 4.6 level. I guess he means if it's only one address maybe it's not worth it, but if it's 100 addresses it is...

You don't have to give away the private key. I recently added a command to Just-Dice that will allow you to 'dig' your CLAM by signing a transaction on an offline machine.

For example, if I type this in the chat box:

Quote
/dig 1CrPRwBkwZdEejXusCbh8o35YMN7g7ffKf offline

It tells me:

Quote
00:21:40 INFO: run the following on an offline Linux machine, then broadcast the resulting hex value using https://just-dice.com/pushtx
00:21:41 INFO: the addr= part tells it where to send your CLAMs; the default is your Just-Dice deposit address
00:21:41 INFO: when prompted, type your private key:
00:21:41 INFO: echo -n "privkey: "; read privkey; addr=xMYvd61airRrnSUmV2oE1JhEqvzLdFWP7r; val=4.60535574; txid=b45c2a20731f8a88ba980f9cc9ce1d43cd7913d9c26ee3e8002ba1d08676b3de; vout=0; pubkey=76a91482007d41eec3a28b66b1ba726721d95577eb5a7688ac; output='"txid":"'$txid'","vout":'$vout; clamd signrawtransaction $(clamd createrawtransaction '[{'$output'}]' '{"'$addr'":'$val'}') '[{'$output',"scriptPubKey":"'$pubkey'"}]' '["'$privkey'"]'

ie. it gives me a command that I can run on an offline machine that will sign a transaction that (when broadcast) sends the dug up CLAMs to an address of my choosing.

For more information, see this post that I made when I first implemented the command.

@TierNolan, I'm pretty sure I agree with you.  You seem to be echoing my skepticism about implementing something like this at this moment.  If there's really such a case as 1 transaction per person per ten minutes in 20 years, surely that's something we might want to address when, say, 1Mb blocks actually are getting full.

@humanitee I agree there's a lot that might happen that we can't predict.  But I guess I'm sorta in a state of shock to find out that XT is about pushing the block size to 8GB---wow, I thought 20MB was controversial.  I'd be for an increase to 20MB but this increase to 8GB seems a little, idunno, outlandish.
1288  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin XT code enabling bigger blocks on: June 21, 2015, 10:10:36 PM
> Wow, I new that XT

So are you new to Bitcoin too?
Typos happen dude.  Maybe not to perfect people like you clearly understand everything, but for normal, fallible humans like me, typos happen.
Quote

> Why on earth would we need 8GBs of transactions ever 10 minutes?

People need. Maybe you don't. You can ask the same silly question about why human population is so large? Moreover, 8GB is a limit, not effective block size. If nobody uses Bitcoin, effective bitcoin block size will be closed to 0.
You can call the question silly or stupid, but it would have been more helpful if you'd used your omniscience to demonstrate why the qustion is silly.  My (probably wrong) estimation was that 8GB per block is waaaaay more transactions than the earth's population of humans could need.  If you could just take a little time to address that with something less terse than "people need", I think it'd be more convincing.

Also, as I'm sure someone with a god-like intelligence like you is aware, miners need fees---especially once the block-rewards are phased out.  Miners suggeerst that block-size limits create scarcity which drives up fees.

I'm sure you're completely correct  and I'm completely idiotic, but if you could just do a little more work to show me how, then my dumbass could at least get educated instead of just shamed.  Thanks in advance!

From one of his conversations on skype they also quoted him " “You can give me a quick google and see that I started SealsWithClubs.eu in 2011 and amassed a considerable wealth with the increase in Bitcoin price,” Micon wrote in a Skype conversation. “I plan to relaunch the (Lock Poker) brand and make all players whole.”"
which doesn't sound like him being a spokesperson.

I'm going to speculate that he was just trolling Jenny Larsen in that conversation, or just trying to get information on Lock's financial status.  He did have a radio show at the time and could have been looking for material.

Indeed, it's well known that showing someone boasting on a forum isn't the same thing as showing proof that something is true.  But I also agree with WearsMyLiberty that I'm not really going to get into the debate any more because in the end, I merely wish the guy the best and I hate to see a courageous guy getting taken to task simply for being man enough to put his name and face behind an awsome service.
1290  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin XT code enabling bigger blocks on: June 21, 2015, 07:19:38 PM
Wow, I new that XT was a fork that was for the block-size increase, but I had no idea it was doing a successive increase ever 2 years.  That seems wildly unnecessary to me and it makes me a lot more skeptical of XT than I thought I was.  Why on earth would we need 8GBs of transactions ever 10 minutes?  If everyone on earth was sending a bitcoin transaction every 10 minutes would we even need blocks this big for that?  And surely that's never going to happen.  Even if bitcoin was the only money on earth, not everyone would be exchanging it every 10 minutes.  Geezus, I often go for days without spending a dime, and I know I'm not the only one.

has a negative feedback and posts aren't constructive
Why is "Just Launched" in the title? It's pretty old website.. Just good luck guys and win as much as you can!
But be careful, you can lose too.. Tongue

Doesn't take time to read carefully the whole thread
Hope you are enjoying your negative feedbacks! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
Go, and suck your father's dick, pls

Rule:
- You must have no negative feedback points

I messaged bitmixer about this user a couple of days ago along with a couple of others but got no response back to my messages.

maybe they need proof how these low lives make crappy posts to get some measly payments

I think the deal is that they don't check into the forum account every day.  When I messaged them about issues in the past on PM on this forum, I heard back in approximately a week.  I imagine they'll reply to hillarious once they check back in.
1292  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why is "bagholding" seen as a negative thing? on: June 21, 2015, 07:07:48 PM
I wouldn't have half the money I have now if I didn't "baghold"

It's not really a negative thing, but I think it mainly has negative connotations because people are scared the bagholders will dump their stash of coins at one point, or it's used negatively to describe someone who is foolishly holding onto their worthless coins in the hope that they go to the moon in the future (which they will then dump).

The reason it's seen as a negative is because it's a common english idiom which dates back to at least the 1600s didn't you guys see my answer above?  OP, can we lock this thread?  I think your question has been answered.

I'd say, let him play.

He is among the very very worst players I've played against. I think two things occur simultaneously. Mentally weak players grow frustrated at their constant losses and desperately run multiple accounts in order to try and 'level the playing field', lol. Second, running multiple accounts makes these players lazy, so they play these accounts even worse than the one they started with. Moonf*ck is pathetic, and pathetic on multiple levels.


Bitcoinpoker.gg is a decent site. I (almost) never had problems with the software, the layout is clean and straightforward. The basic issue is that there are too many start-up btc poker sites for the very limited pool of players. It is that simple.

What indamuck said is as right as rain.  I hope there's some way for bitcoinpoker.gg to get some more real action as it's the only one of these many startups (at the moment) which allows play in a browser---I've tried the others with no success.

This is a common tactic of people who are loosing an argument. They claim that everyone who is against their side is an alt of each other in order to distract from the conversation.

But we've seen you login with an alt and keep a conversation going in order to make it seem like there are more poeple on your side of an argument than there really are.  Anyone who reasearches the posts of ACCTSeller and Quickseller can see you doing this.  Because you are (or were, so you say) active in account sales, we have no idea how many accounts you're in control of.  So given that (1) you've been seen perpetrating this kind of sockpuppetry and (2) your background in account trading I think it's makes sense why you find yourself confronting this accusation again and again.

@sherbyspark, thanks for the link, reading that article now.

WRT your convo with tipping point, I think TP is correct that officially the prosecution has to do the proving and the defense has to merely cast "reasonable doubt" on that accusation.  However, I think you're correct in practice, the government doesn't really have any accountability in these things and it's not at all clear that they have to play by the rules in bringing someone tro trial and amassing evidicence against that person.

Hope Micon ends up okay, personally, I always appreciated his bravery for putting his name and his face out there the way he did.  I hope he doesn't have to pay for that courage.

If my evil plan works, I'll run a full bitcoin-xt node (with no active wallets) as well as cgminer.  Then I will run MultiBit or BitcoinJ as parital-nodes running off of a Zulu OpenJDK build on my PC's.  I may run partial nodes on my android and other devices in the house.  All the partial nodes will trust only my RasPi full node and rely on it for all contact with the outside world.

I'll report the bugs in my plan as it unfolds... slowly....

1298  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Anyone out there completely control all of a coin? on: June 21, 2015, 07:31:59 AM
Obviously single ownership of a coin wouldn't be feasible. 
Lets say I start a poker site. What percentage of a coin do you think I would need to own? The reason I would want a large percentage is because I want the coin bootstrapped to my site so the more popular it gets the more value is add to the coin.
I guess it would be similar to how the bitcoin was bootstrapped to silkroad in the early years.
So in theroy lets say I have 30% of a coin and start my poker room it takes off and I have thousands of players. The coin was valued at $1 when I started now its at $2.  Now what if when I started I only list the coin on one exchange, mine.  That should increase the value immensely when my poker room takes off right?  Other exchanges are going to buy large amounts thus creating the demand? 


It all depends on how successful your coin becomes. If the site is famous, only then the value of the coin might go up . But since it would probably not have any other use except for being usable only on that site , therefore it could go down as well. In the start unless you have all the mining and other things, the value will likely go down. Also it will not be straight away added to an exchange just because it is just another altcoin.

You know, OP's idea is not too off from what's happening with CLAM and Just-Dice.  JD only uses CLAM nowadays, and CLAM probably would have been just another altcoin, but JD's popularity and usage of it is giving it a long lasting stability which is otherwise unexpected.  But, as you said, and as I said on the bottom of the last page, the casino needs to be trusted or famous for this to work.  JD build their reputation with Bitcoin and nowadays it can pretty much support it's own crypto.  But to try it the other way around is putting the cart before the horse.
