Yes. It's good to take a break in any activity, including gambling, to help manage emotions and make more rational decisions. However, I do not view my gambling activities as burdensome. Rather, they serve as a welcome respite from my usual work, which can often be quite stressful.

I think gambling can be a fun and enjoyable activity when approached in a responsible manner. It's crucial to set limits for yourself when it comes to gambling, both in terms of time and money. This means knowing when to stop and not chasing losses. But, for some people, gambling can be a way to socialize, relax, and take a break from the demands of everyday life.

It's sad to say, but we've been seeing it a lot lately - loads of people don't really get what today's "AI" is all about or how it works. Instead, their perceptions are heavily influenced by the depictions of artificial intelligence in science fiction and similar genres of popular literature and movies. Also, there's a fair bit of hype and exaggerated claims surrounding the capabilities of AI, which can fuel unrealistic expectations and contribute to misunderstandings about what it can actually do. That's why lots of folks think that AI will just magically turn into all-knowing machines that can solve any problem in a snap, but that's actually pretty far from the truth. While AI has made impressive strides in recent years and can indeed excel at certain tasks, such as processing large amounts of data, it still has its limitations and may never be able of truly human-like intelligence or solving complex problems without assistance.


Cool article! @tread93, you should check out some more stuff like this to get a better handle on what AI is all about and what it's not. This could save you the trouble of asking such questions on the forum in the future.

You kind of already answered it yourself: "something like a crazy powerful AI computer w/ like unlimited computational power", except the AI part is completely unnecessary and pointless. The SHA-256 algorithm used for mining is surprisingly simple and can in fact be done by hand (and possibly a calculator if you're really bad at math), but it requires an extremely large number of "rounds" to mine a block. Therefore, you do not require any 'intelligence' but rather a specialized chip that can process the algorithm rapidly. This is precisely what ASIC miners do.

There are no legit bitcoin mining sites, particularly those that claim to offer "cloud mining." Any site that does make such a claim is either a scam or not worth your time and effort.

As for your other questions, I suggest you start reading and learning the basics. Did you read the sticky thread in this board?

Yes, I agree. Starting small and focusing on building a strong foundation is a wise approach for any business, including a gambling site. It's essential to prioritize security and risk management in this type of business, as you'll be handling money and personal information from customers. However, a gambling business without a serious budget and proper financing is a recipe for disaster. Starting a gambling business still requires significant investment and capital, and it's important to have a solid financial plan in place to ensure that you have the resources you need to operate and grow the business over the long term. If you don't have enough capital, you might struggle to cover the costs of things like software, hardware, marketing, maintenance and support. That can lead to a situation where you're unable to provide a high-quality service, and that can hurt your reputation and make it tough to keep customers. Without those things, your chances of success are slim, imho.

With all due respect, I disagree. There is no known law in existence that would require them to do such a thing.


But, what if it turns out that they didn't actually steal the customer's money, but instead stopped a shady customer from stealing their money? I'm not taking sides here, just speaking in general terms.


To be honest, I don't place much importance on TrustPilot reviews because they are proven to be unreliable, but your argument is flawed.

Every casino has ample of bad reviews, especially the most popular ones. This does not mean that all bad reviews are valid.

Yes, you're basically right, except that Tesla hasn't released the source code for their car for free, as far as I know.  

I came across this cool analogy somewhere: Open source software is like poor man's bread. You can eat it for free as is, or you can add your ham and cheese and sell it as a sandwich. But from what I'm seeing here, it seems like the OP is taking a piece of very old bread, spits on it on both sides, puts some butter on it, and then trying to sell it as a sandwich.  

They did posted an ANN thread for their casino, which can be found here. However, it appears that they didn't invest much effort into making it engaging and enticing for potential players. That's why I asked him about whether the casino site is still being developed.

I agree that they should finish up the casino site before promoting it. It just makes more sense.

It's possible that our interpretations of the term "application" differ, but in my opinion, this is not the case. As I understand it, an application is a piece of software that allows you to perform some function on your computer or mobile device. What you are probably referring to is a web application (or web app), a type of application accessed through a web browser, and of course every online casino has their own, but that is not the topic here.


Where did you get that information from? I fail to see how using the official (genuine) app is any less secure than the official web app.

Thanks for the suggestion; I'll make sure to check out your casino when I get a chance. However, I couldn't help but notice that your ANN thread hasn't been updated in quite some time, and the title still reads "Coming soon". I'm curious, does this mean that the casino is still under development and not yet ready for launch?

Indeed, it's always better to exercise caution while sending transactions, especially when significant amounts are involved. No automated tool can replace the need for a careful review of the entire address before sending the payment.

While I mentioned that taking a few characters from the beginning and end of the address can offer some protection against clipboard malware, it's important to understand that this may not be foolproof. In some cases, malware can modify the middle portion of the address, and taking only the beginning and end characters may not be sufficient.

Nonetheless, taking a few characters from the address can be a quick and useful practice to adopt for everyday transactions. However, for high-value transactions or when in doubt, it's always best to check the entire address carefully. Let's make sure we take all necessary precautions to secure our transactions and protect our funds.

You are such a fraud! How can you say that their product contains "serious bugs" if you have never bought or used their script? As far as I can see, the version of the script in question was never intended for public use or selling, as clearly stated in their Github repo.

Let's face it - You've taken someone else's product, made a few tweaks (supposedly), and tried to resell it. And now plan to market it as your own with a new frontend. But the thing is, you have no legitimate right to do so. On top of that, it seems like you have no problem slinging mud at the original developer.

It's pretty low to attack the original creator of the product you're essentially copying without any legal right to it. Instead of resorting to such underhanded tactics, why not invest your time and resources in developing your unique product that doesn't rely on copying someone else's hard work?

What do you mean? It's quite simple to visually confirm the destination address before sending bitcoins. Simply remember the first few and last few digits of the original address you copied, and compare them with the target address. It's recommended to take extra precautions when it comes to financial transactions.

Well, it's definitely true that advertising is a key for success, but I hope they're not relying on luck of the draw with their marketing strategy. Because, good ad campaign can really pay, but bad one might make them go bust. So, I hope they don't gamble too much on advertising budget, and focus on developing winning formula for getting the word out about their casino.

It's quite simple: by placing 50 bets of $500 at 1.1 odds he will win $2,500, assuming all the bets are successful. Now, the above scenario is an oversimplification, but it illustrates how a gambler can make $3000 from an initial $500.

Basically, I think you just didn't understand what JooBra was trying to say.

I'm sorry to hear that your experience wasn't a positive one. From what I know, Sportsbet.io is one of the most reputable casinos here. However, I'm a bit confused and was hoping you could clarify something for me. They kindly requested that you allow them 5 business days to conduct an investigation, so I'm curious as to why you decided to publicly accuse them of scam so quickly?

You posted this:


So, don't you think it's unfair that you don't give them at least the minimum amount of time they need to do an investigation?

Yes, there are some tools out there that you can use to check if ChatGPT i used to generate text. But, here's the thing - from what I've seen, no AI detector is anywhere near perfect. Sometimes,  these tools can say something is copied when it's actually original, or miss some copied parts. So, if you really want to make sure that the text is legit, it's not a good idea to rely solely on these tools.

To be on the safe side, if you want to make sure that the content is unique and not copied from elsewhere, it's a good idea to use multiple methods for verifying its originality. In addition to using plagiarism checkers, you could try searching for similar content using search engines, or manually comparing your text to other sources.

LocalBitcoins didn't just shut down overnight. It was a slow and steady process that had to do with legal and regulatory issues. They started putting the brakes on their services in some areas, like in Germany where they stopped offering services to users in 2019. They also pulled the plug in some parts of the USA, like New York and Washington State, because they didn't have the right licenses.

Basically, they had to adapt to new rules and laws as they came up, and that meant they had to cut back on their services in some areas. In my opinion, it was the combination of regulatory pressure and the recent decline in cryptocurrency values that led to its downfall.

I try to be responsible and avoid putting myself in a chasing loss situation. To do this, I set limits on the amount of money I'm willing to risk, so I never find myself in a position where I'm losing more than I can afford. Let's be real, we've all been there - trying to make up for losses by doubling down or using some fancy strategy like the martingale. But if you've been around the gambling block for a while, you probably know that these strategies can be a straight-up disaster.

There's just no way to guarantee a win when you're gambling, and trying to chase your losses is a surefire way to end up even deeper in the hole. So, if you're going to play the game, it's best to do it responsibly and within your means. And who knows, maybe you'll even strike it lucky and walk away with some extra cash.

If you're looking for a more secure way to manage your Bitcoin keys, you might want to consider using deterministic wallets instead of generating a list of keys. By using a deterministic wallet, you can avoid the need to maintain a long list of keys and instead generate new keys based on a master seed.
