141  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [SCAM] Coinunited.io - No withdrawal on: January 04, 2024, 02:14:59 PM
Sometimes, I wonder why people go ahead to trade in exchanges that's not popular or not used by anyone before.
Scam service offers are better than legitimate ones, right? If you want to make people less suspicious, just make it more attractive with values that are close to reasonable (like 125% APY might make sense for people who are used to memecoins). If someone has a gambling background they'll consider this a bet, if it is legit then they get the jackpot, if it is a scam they lose. The difference is, losses in this case is something they can't afford because it usually involves more money than regular betting.
142  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you see a gambling review website that has its own gambling website? on: January 04, 2024, 01:52:48 PM
there might be a concern that they could potentially undermine their competitors on their website to boost their own standing in the competition.
What type of review site?
There are types of reviews based on the personal description or experience of the author (site owner) and can't be commented on by visitors, the author may be paid to carry out the scenario you suspect.
If it was a user based review site say like trustpilot, I would look at the moderation levels. In fact, there is no casino that is truly clean with a 1 star score.

In what form do you mean the warning?
I still see this gambling board description in place

Gambling and all "investments" that are so risky they might as well be gambling (HYIPs, pyramid schemes, etc.)
Or maybe you mean it's a..

factoid slots: It is displayed randomly, if it is also not in this list[1], it is probably really removed by the admin for some reason.

Get the trite phrase mentioned above out of your mind,
That's a real shot, I'm not really sure if a gambler can resist saying "ok maybe one more time, what's the harm?" when the previous bet fails. Interactive gambling really tempts you to place more bets. If someone has $1k in his account, that doesn't mean he doesn't have reserves elsewhere to catch up on the $1k he might lose. On the other hand, if we talk about numbers, every big win of one person is a small loss for many others. This means that those who lose will always come back to win someone, this is the gambling matrix.
145  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Can you recommend a web wallet other than blockchain.info? No KYC on: January 04, 2024, 01:34:47 AM
If you are looking for web wallets, you have blockchain.info and trustwallet.com
Trustwallet only supports the mobile version and browser extension, it isn't a web category.

Basically the web wallet service is very limited, technically this wallet isn't recommended at all and there aren't many fans as it can't be integrated into the dapps ecosystem in a practical way.
146  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: China ban people from using usdt on: January 03, 2024, 05:13:22 PM
I don't understand why this is a separate rule. What I know is that the previous ban was a general ban for existing cryptocurrencies, does this indicate the identification of some violators after the total crypto ban from the Chinese themselves?

Like many others we only believe once someone we know experiences it.
Has your friend met the criteria for being an unusual user, for example a VIP member or has reached a certain amount of bets (which not many users achieve) in some time? The method for selecting winners is not as transparent as I have seen in Twitter free sweepstakes in general, I hope there are no side criteria that aren't disclosed.

You with a $150k portfolio are asking for my advice with only $1k of capital, isn't that ridiculous? Your background is quite experienced with losses, you should be able to advise yourself not just to be patient.
If you really want my advice, I'd stop with $150k and get on with real life. Man, in my country you can even live above average for up to 20 years with that money.
150  Economy / Economics / Re: 2024 & Prediction of World War III - Effect on Cryptocurrencies on: January 02, 2024, 07:17:09 AM
Was recently discussing with a friend who is of the opinion that since Crypto/Bitcoin is a digital kind of money it should not be affected by any natural disaster or war but for me I believe it will be affected since crypto/Bitcoin is striving because people are making use of it and if these people are affected by war, which will disrupt flow of doing things the normal way, then crypto will die a natural death at least for that period.
Bitcoin is a currency, crypto/altcoins are business ecosystem and scheme. While the war was going on, business stopped, the currency remained valuable. So, why bitcoin? This money is perfect for financing wars, military aid, arms trade as the western media believes. This means that certain people continue to use it as long as possible.
151  Local / Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian) / Re: Apakah bisa Bermain Sigcam di 2 forum berbeda on: January 02, 2024, 06:38:45 AM
Jarang ada manajer yg juga menjalankan sigcam (berbayar BTC) perusahaan yg sama di forum lain. Dan sy juga tidak yakin ada perusahaan yg tertarik memasarkan layanan di forum2 yg notabene dipenuhi "bounty armies". Sekarang hanya kebetulan karena mikser dilarang, mulai ada sigcam berbayar BTC (meski rate gajinya rendah).
Kalo maksud OP tentang membagi waktu, seharusnya bisa apalagi yg udah punya alts di forum ini dan biasa join 2 sigcam pada saat bersamaan.
152  Economy / Gambling / Re: [poorbot.io] | Exchanger for Stake - fast, cheap, simple on: January 02, 2024, 06:07:58 AM
So, I personally would also love to see this service extended to other casinos as well, but like we all know, the service is just starting here and with Stake, the kind of success they record or achieve while providing for Stake users might be the determinant to whether they will extent same service to other casinos in the near future.
It's good if Poorbot do it in the future. I checked in the gambling section that there was a list of casinos[1] that had exchanges integrated into the platform. Poorbot can use this reference to expand its business to several platforms that are not available exchangers but are quite well known on this forum.

153  Economy / Exchanges / Re: HitBTC.com - The most advanced cryptocurrency exchange on: January 02, 2024, 04:55:12 AM
i advice everybody to report them to sec.gov  .
HitBTC does not serve US customers, according to web archives from 2019[1]. But they haven't enforced mandatory KYC during registration for customers (this is their dirty trick to confiscate user funds).
In general, you do not need to pass a verification procedure to start trading via the HitBTC app – your deposits will not be limited in any way.

If you report today you must bring proof of serious violations, for example you caught them serving US customers. Based on the laxity of KYC, this kind of violation is possible.

154  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Ithiopia bankrupted? on: January 01, 2024, 01:02:16 PM
Since childhood, I was introduced to this country as a poor country. I read the news that they have started to rise recently and are starting to improve even though they aren't pushing down the rankings of the poorest countries much. I think there is something wrong with their development roadmap target so it has to lead to debt default.
Anyway, they're in debt to China, are they falling into the Chinese's debt trap myth? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-QDEWwSkP0
155  Other / Meta / Re: Mixers to be banned on: January 01, 2024, 12:18:06 PM
I locked all of the mixer ANN threads I saw, and I put in a number of wordfilters.
Can wordfilters bot be more effective in catching links inserted between bbcode? I think this is a useful loophole for a while for mixer-managed shills. I can write unclickable links without worrying about getting filtered this way, and it will stay there if no one reports it
Code:

Also, check out this guy's signature: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5236689.msg54131263#msg54131263
It's unclickable, but it still explains many things.
156  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: January 01, 2024, 11:16:53 AM
Trusting experts may have risks, even greater than betting based on personal luck. Firstly, how is the expert badge obtained? Don't say it's because it's just an achievement on one of the platforms or gambling places. We never know whether their scenario/trick (between bookies and experts) to get lots of bettors/bigger bets at one table for one prediction leads to mass losses. This may be an overstated assumption, but I believe it exists.

158  Economy / Speculation / Re: High transaction fees affects buyers and seller in payment in bitcoin on: January 01, 2024, 08:05:10 AM
Hasn't this network congestion been there all these while? Or is it now that we're having a higher price of Bitcoin that's when it seems like is having effect on all transactions?
This is the first time, because there has never been another entity that "interferes" with the network like ordinals. Look at the transaction traffic chart throughout history, how do you see the big spike recently compared to the 2021's ATH session?: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/bitcoin-transactions.html#alltime
As I said before there is no direct correlation that high prices must result in high fee rates (in sats units). Network congestion can occur even if bitcoin is worth $1.
159  Economy / Speculation / Re: High transaction fees affects buyers and seller in payment in bitcoin on: December 31, 2023, 04:36:45 PM
Usually fees don't jump to the roof when the price falls (though I could be mistaken on that), so I'm puzzled.
Price fluctuations don't directly affect fee fluctuations, you can compare the two in the bullish phase throughout 2021. When the 2nd price peak was reached (July to November), the fee rates was almost stagnant at $2 to $5 for 1 transaction.



And currently, coincidentally, the ordinals NFT hype is causing thousands of transactions faltered and increase each other's fees to get priority confirmation speed. Had that happened in bear season 5 years ago (2018), the fee rates would probably be as severe as they're today.

I don't think there's an answer but let's say there is an answer to all these issues going on, the question is how can we make it to be in place like to favor us, like before?
The answer: Obviously network congestion.
The solution: Obviously, overhaul the protocol somehow.
For the record, there is no perfect protocol (even up to date) that can answer some its network problems in the future. Improvements must continue to be made.
160  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there play and pay later casinos? on: December 31, 2023, 10:37:38 AM
To play in any casino you have to come with your money or asset, or are there any casinos that allow play and pay later?
No, isn't that a visible risk without having to implement it first? One of them only makes the business stop growing because the casino is hampered from increasing its bankroll.
Unless the casino works with a funding partner, that can happen. But again, it's too risky to agree. Gamblers can bet more than they can afford if they have a previous plan to escape debt.
