2 Different things going on.
1) Pointing your miners to Nicehash (or mining rig rentals or a few other places) although they charge a large fee, NH does have profitability spikes when someone comes out with the next big alt coin and people want to mine it and they don't have miners so they rent. Also, NH and others support a bunch of different algorithms. So if you have some SHA256 miners and some Scrypt miners and some old ETH miners and so on you just point them at NiceHash and you are not dealing with a bunch of different pools.
1a) Renting form nice hash. Kind of like playing the lottery. If you are pointing to a solo pool or PPNLS pool you *might* get lucky and come out ahead. Or you may loose. That is your risk.
2) Places like Binance. They are making money on the hosting and so on. But if they 'rent' you a cloud miner they don't care if BTC goes up they don't care if BTC goes down. They don't care if the pool is lucky. They have your money. You are now taking the risk.

It really is a good risk / reward balance for them. For the last year or so they have been DCA their cost down. So over time even smaller bumps in price will be good for their balance sheet.
If BTC moons they win. If BTC falls for a bit it still looks like a smaller loss on paper. Which it is, because it's just that. A paper loss. Until they sell. If you have enough funding and time you can wait out the dips in price.

I'm *assuming* the OP is running their own LN node since this was how this started. If so it's running core on the back end. They should be able to spend an unconfirmed from there.
IF that is not an option, getting the private key from that 1 address and importing it someplace else is also not going to compromise security since the entire reason is to move the funds out from that address.
@Angula77 what is your setup for the LN node?

Since Wolfbet's dice game is also provably fair, that more or less means that results are set in stone regardless of your bet amount, payout, the moment you start gambling on a new seed. From what I see you weren't actually chasing a 2x multiplier and instead using dicebot to go for alterning multipliers each bet. Regardless you've seemed to have stopped at a streak where you got aproximately 16 reds in a row, if the payout would've been 2 X ( it wasn't ). A streak of 16 reds in a row on 2x multiplier theoretically over a large quantum of bets happens once in 65536 bets. Considering you've stated you placed 4 million bets, this 16 streak of reds would've happened roughly about 61 times, so over a large span of bets it's actually not that rare. There's a tendency for gamblers to cry "Scam" whenever they come across a long streak of losses, while discarding long streaks of winning bets  Actually I am going with there is a tendency for SCAMMERS to cry "Scam" about other peoples things when they can. Makes them look more legit. Look at the OP just screaming scam against some casinos (yes the 1x is a scam we all know that) all while attempting to push his magical pumping service. But, yes you are also c100% orrect in the fact that gamblers do tend to scream scam when they loose. -Dave |

From my point of view for the loans I have made they are all unsecured personal loans for smaller amounts. So, I look at it as no different then them going to a friend or coworker or whoever and borrowing a couple of hundred dollars till payday. What they do with it is more or less their own business. For the amounts I have given out you really could not do a HYIP kind of thing.
If they came to me and asked for a couple of thousand to setup a Ponzi the answer would be no, because more or less you are supporting one at that point.
If they did not tell me and I did not ask, well that's on me. But, would we ever know the truth anyway? If you @Timelord2067 came to me here and asked for a few thousand because the engine in your car just detonated and you need to get something to go to work till you can buy a new one. I would probably give it to you since I really doubt you would blow a decade old legendary account and it's alts for a few grand. BUT if was to start the TimeWarp2067 HYIP how would I ever know if it never got traced back to you?
We are all kind of anonymous here.....

So, if I've understood correctly: you received coins from Bisonapp (a custodial exchange), and they did show up to your Umbrel balance. Then, you received money from Bisonapp again, and they did show up, but disappeared a little later.
If that's the case, then did the transaction confirm the second time? If it was unconfirmed, then it might have been double-spent after you looked at it last time. You need to contact Bisonapp.
Since umbrel gives a new address for every transaction I am guessing (100% guess) that the address the OP gave was the next one in his wallet, which would be the one that is showing now. Even if the TX is double spent or dropped it does not display the old addresses. Umbrel also keeps the default size for the mempool. So it's entirely possible that since transactions with under a 4 sat / vb are being purged at the moment, that it *was* sent, and *is* out there BUT his node does not see it. And unless the OP has it someplace there is no easy way to see what the old address was unless he gets it from Bisonapp. You can get it by sshing into umbrel and using bitcoin-cli and get it from there but I have no idea how to get it from the GUI. -Dave |

Do you have Ride The Lightning installed? If not can you install it though the app store.
From there if you go to onchain and then transactions it should show you everything that came and went from your onchain wallet.
Bisonapp should (I don't know for sure) have some way of showing you a txid for all funds that have been sent.

Well I sent 2 payments to that adress from my personal Bisonapp account. The first one is still visable and the second one was first visable and then disappeared. It is strange that the adress does not show anything. It should at least show the first deposit....right?
Yes block explorers show all transactions so if you sent to that address it should show. Remember the deposit address that you get from umbrel changes every time you use it so is the bc1qxdgkknc53cl9wvc95klzyu65fvfeerwtu98c92 address the one it's showing now or the one that you used before? What does the Bisonapp account show for outgoing transactions to you? Does it show that they were confirmed? Any other info? -Dave |

Probably not the best place to discuss it, but I figure it's worth a mention here in the hardware section since over the years we have had a lot of discussions about Moore's Law and how much speed we can get out of how small a die on a chip and if it would keep going or would we hit a size / speed wall. He was one of the co-founders of intel and in general a really intelligent person: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_MooreProbably did more to advance ICs more then any other person. RIP -Dave |

As WillyAp said a lot is going to depend on where you live.
I'll say this while wearing a sig for a mixer (sorry Royce)
There are other ways of separating ownership of coins (coinjoin / join market).
Some exchanges that have email verification only
P2P markets
And so on.
Mixers / privacy coins just kind of make it easier.
So even if they could stop mixers / privacy coins, witch governments probably can't since they would just reappear elsewhere. There would be other options, and getting all of those would be just about impossible.

The flip side of the argument is that if BTC goes up they could have wound up paying $30k for the domain.
Since I am running my own payment node when putting sales though I just pass the price to it take a 1% discount and call it a day.
It's a bit of an opinion thing, once you give people massive discounts they start to ask why an that could cost sales. Never give a customer a chance to ask why something is so discounted.
Just my view.

Would need a bit more information before even attempting to figure it out.
Is the entire deposit missing or is the amount just smaller? What was the address? Did it actually confirm of was it out there pending?
Did someone open up a LN channel to you?
Do you enable autopilot?

Well the standards ones for people who announce new wallets.
Open source?
Is it custodial or non custodial?
Any security audits done?
If it's custodial is there any KYC?
Requirements other then KaiOS? I know it's for lower end lower power phones but outside of that.

You can get in trouble with the SEC as a forum member with celebrity status for promoting cryptocurrency on your social media, but not in trouble with them for promoting just bitcoins. There is a scary SEC rule- that it is unlawful for any person to publish or give publicity to crypto assets without disclosing the amount they were paid for the promotion. That is it in a nutshell. If you push a stock or a lot of things you have to tell people if and if so, how much you are getting paid to do it. If nobody is paying you it's a different thing, but if you are then there are rules you have to follow. I don't know why people think it's such a big deal, it's been that way for a very long time. -Dave |

So according to you wolf.bet is a scam, and primedice is a scam. And then you show a very small snip of your logs to prove a point. Put up or shut up as they say. There are legit scam casinos, but coming in with no real proof and accusing 2 that have only minor complaints vs others over the years is not going to get a lot of traction here. BUT we are supposed to believe the pump and trade bot that you sell is 100% legit: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5326454 / https://archive.is/6gsoV -Dave |

I keep getting the feeling Binance is being operated with more in their marketing and management budget then in their infrastructure and hardware budget.
Too many instances of things going wrong on a regular bases. Not show stopping implosion things, but now we patch this to make it work and then we patch the next thing and so on. Not actaully stopping to do it properly.
I don't use them on any kind of regular basis, but it seems that they have more things happen to them then other places.
Could also be that more people talk about it since they are the largest.
