First of all, try to find out how they got access to your wallet. 

Check your system for any malware, trojans in specific that might have access to your clipboard or have a keylogger installed.
Also check your browser history to see if you've ever logged in through a phishing website.

What wallet are you using with Etherscan?  Ethereum Wallet, Parity Wallet, MyCrypto, MyEtherWallet or Metamask?

Interesting that they are giving you better odds for prices above $7500 than prices below $5000.
I guess the support around $5000 is a lot bigger than the resistance around $7500?

Might place a bet for prices above $7500, I do think it's unlikely that we'll hit that, but I wouldn't be too surprised if we do.

It's not all that surprising really, they're dealing with a very exclusive market, so it's in their best interest to offer their preferred payment methods.
They're just catering to the needs of their customers.

That and it's also pretty good advertising, which company doesn't like it when multiple news websites writes positive articles about your brand.

Another option would be to invest into Steem power and delegate that to a vote bot.
You'll earn a couple of percent on your principal each day and can just cash out whenever you want.

Do note that it does take 3 months to withdraw your Steem Power, you receive a payment each week.

Here are some of these services that will pay you for either delegations or votes:

Here's a tutorial on how you can earn from delegating Steem Power:

I like the fact that you also show 1 hour price changes, that's pretty handy.
Those flashing price changes are very annoying though, there should be a way to turn that off.

Also, why are some price graphs green and others red? Does that have something to do with the trend line perhaps?
1466  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which casino game gives you the best odds of winning? on: September 13, 2018, 09:27:49 AM
If we're talking about games in actual casinos, blackjack and craps offer the best odds, followed by roulette.
It's still -EV for the player though, but way better than slots, like you also mentioned.

With online games, usually nothing beats dice. Most online casinos have the lowest house edge on their dice games.
At Crypto-Games for example this is 0.8%, while their blackjack has a 1.253% house-edge and roulette has 2.7%

Fun fact: their lottery doesn't have a house-edge
1467  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin dominance record on: September 13, 2018, 09:18:47 AM
your mistake is that you are using market cap ratio and calling it dominance. it is like picking up an apple and calling it an orange! just because coinmarketcap.com is dumb enough to use the word "dominance" it doesn't mean it is correct. in fact dominance in a market has nothing to do with market cap specially when it comes to cryptocurrencies where 1 coin can create billions of tokens out of thin air and have billions of dollars worth of market cap and have a bigger "ratio". and none of that billions of tokens even have to enter circulation for it to have that market cap.

I see your point, but you're talking about 'market dominance' in a classic meaning, related to measuring companies' market dominance - such is simply not applicable to cryptos (as there's no revenue involved). "Dominance" is also a word on its own and can be freely used. It's pretty obvious and clear to everyone that CMC's version relates to market cap dominance only. I see no problem here.

I also tend to agree with you, I always thought it was pretty clear that the word dominance was just used to describe the coin with highest total market capitalization, according to the metrics found on coinmarketcap.com.

Market dominance is obviously something completely different, but that's a totally different context to begin with.

Don't fall for this, the likelihood that this is a ponzi is around 100%.
Just look at their website and see what kind of profits they're promising.

1469  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Blockchain’s Bitcoin App Reinstated in Apple’s App Store on: September 12, 2018, 12:03:54 PM
It's been a long time coming. I wonder what the actual delay was seeing as they announced they were allowing them back a while ago.

About bloody time
Not expecting any meaningful price upside as a consequence though

What? Why would the price rise due to it? It's free app.

Because some traders buy when they read good news and sell bad news, but recently we have seen that the price won't follow them.

Not for something as minor as this, how does this even affect Bitcoin at all?
The price certainly reacts to the news, it's just that the bad news currently outweighs the good news.

Besides, it's not that Bitcoin is doing that bad. We've not seen the price move under 6000 dollars, while most altcoins are experiencing very heavy losses.
1470  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you judge a coin/token/project by their website? on: September 12, 2018, 11:24:21 AM
I tend to look most at the community behind the project. Are there any ways to directly speak with the devs through Discord or Slack for example?
How active are they within their own community and what kinds of updates have they released.

Take LBRY for example, it's a lesser know project, but I am 100% sure that they fully intend to complete their roadmap.
The project's management and devs are active in their Discord and will answer just about any question you have.

You can see that they are releasing regular updates to their LBRY app and their communications on social media is actually interesting, not just spam.

I'm always wary of projects who have paid for big marketing campaigns or those who do these massive airdrops.
This always looks like a quick money-grab to me.

1471  Economy / Economics / Re: Is the Blockchain overhyped? Blockchain Digital Transformation [Infographic] on: September 12, 2018, 11:01:17 AM
I think that in some aspects, yes. In some other aspects, it is actually still quite underrated.

For example, the fact that people still think that there is going to be one single ICO that will be able to disrupt the entire digital economy or a sector of that economy (whether gaming, shopping, or so on) without the project having any sort of prior experience with actual business is absurd. Centralised cryptocurrencies and blockchains are also over hyped, like certain projects regarding institutions issuing their own tokens, etc.

However, actual decentralised cryptocurrencies like bitcoin as a store of value is probably underrated in my opinion. People still don't realise that bitcoin is able to run parallel with fiat, and serve as a store of value and safe haven asset.

There might be some areas where certain ICOs can become very successful. The thing is that the absolute majority of ICOs are trying to enter markets that do not need any sort of blockchain-based solution.
The sheer amounts of projects begging for funding, without even having a working prototype to show, is just astounding to me.

I also think that we'll see more and more people recognize Bitcoin as a better store of value, especially people from countries with unstable economies.
1472  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FunFair going live... blockchain casino technology on: September 12, 2018, 10:27:43 AM
As it seems curacao is giving licenses to everyone anyway, so it is not a big deal, almost all decent casinos have a curacao license and it changes nothing for them, there are tons of them out there anyway and the only ones that can be happy about this license is the shareholders of the funfair company.

You can be great without a license or you can be horrible with a license, the license is not the thing that keeps the casinos trustworthy, its how they approach to customer support and issues. As long as a casino is always supports and takes care of their customers and really care about their feedbacks they will always triumph over others.

Yeah I wouldn't really call this a newsworthy item, it's so easy to get a Curacao license, you just need enough money.
Some very good crypto casinos have not even bothered getting a license and I don't trust them any less for it.

1473  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: How can I build communities on: September 12, 2018, 10:16:22 AM
Do you at least have a website already? I mean, if you don't have that, how can you even expect to find people who are interested in helping out with your project.
How many team members do you have now? Where do you communicate with each other?

Do you have any sort of social media presence? If so, share the links.

Get together on Discord with your team members and make sure that other people know that's where you hang out.
Slack would also be an option, but I find that Discord is a bit more accessible for most people.
1474  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH is $174. It is the bottom of the chart. on: September 12, 2018, 09:44:39 AM
Many failing ICOs are currently selling their ETH to ensure that they have enough cashflow.
I don't really expect this to stop any time soon, so I'd say you might have been able to buy ETH for even less.

1475  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: help supporting a merchant wanting to accept payments in bitcoin on: September 12, 2018, 08:38:48 AM
Bitcoinpay might be another option, they offer slightly lower fees than Bitpay, charging 0.8% fees on each transaction.
You'll have the option of keeping your payments in Bitcoin or settle payments to be sent in fiat to your bank account.

https://bitcoinpay.com

I think it might be possible to use their API to automatically split part of the payment to be sent to a secondary wallet, though I'm not sure of this.
1476  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best way to store Ripple coins, in my account or download a wallet? on: September 11, 2018, 03:30:15 PM
Ledger Nano is definitely the easiest and safest way to store your Ripple.
They're not that expensive and really your best option if you have more than, say, $100 worth of crypto.

I guess a desktop wallet might be slightly better than using the web wallet, but I would really recommend just getting a hardware wallet.

People will never listen to you no matter whatsoever proofs you may give to them.

Most of them are either shills of competing sites or most probably some buthurt gambler who coulnt afford to loose what he actually gambled with and now is really pissed with loosing all that money.

to be fair I can't blame him cause when I was first introduced to a dice site I thought the same thing every time I had a long losing streak
at the end people learn the lesson the hard way and then they realize that it's not the site's fault
some gambling affiliates on youtube for example mislead the newbies with false informations , check out this guy  who keeps telling his followers that his methods work on the casinos that he promotes
https://www.youtube.com/user/ToughLife2007

The player is the only one to blame in this case. He has profit on at least one coin and he was on profit before he lost, which means player was greedy for more. And we all know the risks of gambling. Sometimes you win and if you don't know your limits you'll eventually lose.

If player can't handle losses, he shouldn't gamble at all. Nobody likes losing, but you gotta know the risks and you gotta deal with it. Instead of blaming a casino with a very good reputation, the player in this case should blame only himself.

And about the youtube videos: everybody should know that there are no 100% winning strategies. If there were, people wouldn't be sharing these strategies. They would be making themselves rich instead Wink

The thing with provably fair gambling is that you can easily prove that the website itself isn't cheating the player. 
Luckily these bad reviews are not really common and I doubt anyone actually reads them. For some reason they're always written in poor English as well  Roll Eyes
1478  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's the strangest or craziest thing you witnessed in a casino? on: September 11, 2018, 09:44:36 AM
I've not been at real casinos too often, but I have seen one really crazy thing at a casino in Prague when I was on holiday there.
A guy had just lost a lot of money and went on a small rampage when he had lost the last of his money on roulette.

He was kicking the machines and shouting at staff, but I have no idea what he was saying, since he spoke Czech or Russian (I can't hear the difference and it was a Russian owned casino)
He ended up being dragged out by security and that was the end of it.

Was pretty scary, since the guy was looked pretty big and strong.
1479  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Let be objective with our investment on: September 11, 2018, 08:57:39 AM
Or how about you look at the long term and hold these investments because you actually believe in the projects.
I keep a portion of my investments in Bitcoin, not because I think I'll make a big profit out of it, but because I believe in the long term success of Bitcoin.

Might be hard to believe for some people, but I've been keeping this investment since 2013.
Now, I did take some profit during the last ATH at around 20k, but have since then all bought it back at a lower price.

All other altcoins I've purchased are because of POS rewards, so it makes more sense to keep them instead of cashing out at a small profit.
1480  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Centralized Marketplaces are harming the E-Commerce Industry on: September 07, 2018, 04:10:37 PM
I really wouldn't go as far as saying that they're harming the entire e-commerce industry.
You've given the example of Amazon banning erotic fiction, while still allowing 50 Shades of Grey, that only affects a small niche, not the entire industry.

I'm not sure if decentralized marketplaces are an answer to that. I would imagine that those decentralized marketplaces also need different interfaces to access them.
These interfaces can also choose what kinds of products they want to show or not.

I mean, most of these interfaces are going to have to implement filters to prevent illicit items from being shown, I would think.
They can add whatever filter they want really.
