1xbit is not a scam platform or scam gambling site, you are addressing 1xbit wrongly and i dont like such way, because 1xbit since they started they have not record lack of payment to whom that gambling with them, but you keep emphasising that it's a scam site with out having a prove to defend yourself. I think that this things need clarification.
you know sucking up to them won't increase your payment. also, when you claim that they are not a scam gambling site, their history in this forum says otherwise. they even admitted to it(at least that is what it looks like) when they came back to this forum and tried to solve the issues that they caused in the past.

Ignore him, he's a spammer who tries to make the quota, regardless of what the post will be. He probably thinks 1xBit will keep him in the campaign longer if he posts in the thread.
Just look at his post history. Some of his shitposts are only 1 minute apart. He's spamming them as fast as he can with this broken English of his.

Bitcoin does not have a Hero because bitcoin everybody just seen Bitcoin

bitcoin everybody seen bitcoin....
1xbit not a scam but you keep saying it's a scam and I don't like such way!
Me angry, 1xbit is good and you stupid and bitcoin is bitcoin because bitcoin!

-_- derp

Oh yea, I remember this thread. I thought they were all suspicious because there was a very similar 1 minute gap between their application to the signature campaign and they all made the same mistake in the personal text because the owner was trying to change accounts so fast he or she didn't notice it.
After a while I was sure that all were controlled by one person and were all hacked accounts that used to post in different languages, had a gap in their posts, woke up around the same time and came to the same signature campaign at the same exact time, with the same mistake in their personal text.

OP denies claims that he or she was ever a part of this group, so let me ask this


Are you the only person who used this account since 2014?


When I made the thread about your group, you did not say anything and ignored it, but you obviously saw it because you deleted the evidence that were your posts in the OneHash campaign thread.
You even tried to reapply later in the campaign, got denied and deleted the post. It survived only because it was quoted.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2020019.msg48314817#msg48314817
Why did you delete them knowing the accusation was false and being able to prove there's no connection between the accounts?

It's really strange that these separate individuals who somehow woke up their accounts on the same date, came to the same campaign, wrote with a 1 minute gap from each other and made the same mistake in the personal text, saw that someone accused them of being linked and did nothing. Instead of countering the accusation, they all deleted their posts and even, in some cases, stopped posting.

High rollers who have a lot of money to launder also have enough money to buy a verified account or pay some random dude to make an account in their name and give it to them. I don't think that KYC changes things for the better here. It makes life of average people like us here harder, but it doesn't do anything to those who have millions coming from a scam to launder.
Do casinos want to make money? Sure they do, but most will not risk their license if the player becomes too suspicious.
1464  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Well! Bitcoin doesn't have this problem on: September 15, 2022, 08:58:59 PM
This problem can be resolved if the financial institution offers to pay a certain percentage of what you own in your account on a given period than not giving at all under the pretext of a bad economy.

No, they should give it all because they claim that they hold your money and are supposed to have it with them. When I give them cash I expect to get that cash back at any moment and there's no excuses just like the IRS will not hear excuses if you don't pay them. They will come to your house and arrest you. Where's the equality before the law that they have written all over their court rooms?

The customers trust them to keep their money safe and that is what they should do, refusing and denying access to people's funds because of an economic crisis is a crime.
Although using violent methods to forcefully collect money from the bank is not the right thing to do either.  

The use of force against a thief who took your wallet is ok, but against a bank who did the same is not ok?

allegedly invented a payment system that exchanges its own  money

This little part already makes me think the author is a bitcoin hater and the whole thing is written to mock bitcoin and its users.
Allegedly invented? If you put this into question then you should be ready to put up some evidence to the fact that it was not invented by Satoshi. If you don't have such evidence, you should stop using this word and instead write facts as they are. No one "alleges" that Satoshi is the creator. He is.

Also, what does it mean its own money? The payment system's money? Bitcoin has its own money... I've never heard that before.

Are you the author? I can't find author's name. Is he ashamed?

Most people want to have more money, but here's the deal, you don't get to do what you want. Life is not about doing what we want without any limits and at the cost of other people. Life is about coexistence, ethics, being a good man.

I'll ask you a question, OP. Would you sacrifice all your dignity for money? If not then where's the limit? At which point do we say no? If you cannot show such a point then maybe we should put this limit at any unethical thing, regardless of how little damage it does?


what do you think it's Wright?

Your typo actually made it look pretty legit. Craig Wright is corrupt and it's not OK Cheesy
1467  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is your diversification strategy? on: September 14, 2022, 08:48:35 PM
For me my total investment is bitcoin, I don't have any other liquid asset at the moment, but for a very small amount of ETH.
I'd say I have close to 94% in BTC, 1% in ETH, 1% in physical gold and 4% fiat money. I don't own any stocks, don't have time to play with those. I rather buy real estate and improve the ones that I have to make them more valuable.
1468  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bonus Abuse: Who is to Blame? on: September 14, 2022, 08:06:49 PM
I do not think that the increase in abuse is in any way related to the rate of cryptocurrency. In the last couple of years there are a lot of new crypto-enthusiasts who share possible cryptocurrency earnings with newbies in Youtube and other channels. This is most likely their business.

None of the game strategies can give you a guarantee in a permanent income from casino games. The same can be said about bonuses and promotions. No matter how hard you try - even by abusing the casino rules you won't be able to bankrupt the casino, as the algorithms work according to predefined parameters and will not allow you to win more than the casino earns.

Agree on factors, but disagree on abuse. If the casino security system is weak and allows you to use bonuses from fake accounts, then making a profit in this case is a purely technical procedure that is accessible even to a student. That is why casinos introduce such insane requirements for bonuses as 20x wagering or something like that.

Of course it's the casino's job to stop people from multi accounting. It's an abuse as old as the Internet and nowadays everybody is aware of bots. If a casino decides to place a banner somewhere they expect 50% of hits will be bots or multiple accounts. It's the same with bonuses for new players. It's obvious that people will try to make new accounts each time and play for free. I wouldn't blame those who try to abuse at all.

It's like when you have a dog you have to make sure the fence is secure so that it can't get out and bite someone and you can expect that people will try to annoy the dog, shout at him and so on but the fence has to hold.
1469  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Things to keep in mind before accumulation of Bitcoin on: September 14, 2022, 07:47:18 PM
Before accumulation in Bitcoin The first thing to do is to decide how many bitcoins you want to buy.You divide these bitcoins into different parts.That is, DCA strategy.

Most people don't know how much they want to buy. For instance, I started getting into bitcoin when it was worth less than 1k USD. If you asked me back then what can it be worth and how much I'd like to have, I'd say that it can be worth maybe 10k USD and for me 10x on bitcoin is enough, therefore I'd like to have at least 10 and my DCA would focus on that number, but at this point if I had nothing I'd say the goal is 100k USD and I'd like to have 1 bitcoin by then. Goals change depending on how much money you have, bitcoin's ATH and many other things.

~
~ But remember that these people are doing it and have millions of dollars, so you need to do something much much better, and can't do that with just a few grand and hiring a developer.

It shouldn't necessarily be "much much" better. Imo, just slightly better would be enough to win the competition. It wasn't like this before the Internet because living in one part of the world people had had little to no idea of what's going on in other parts, and even if they knew about something being better in other country, they couldn't use it. So, indeed, you had to have something much much better to draw the attention of potential customers from other countries. Now you can just copy something nice, improve it a little, and you are the winner.
There's a lot of things that make a casino successful and being unique is just one of them, but one of the lest important ones, which is why businesses are copying each other. It's much harder to get players to pay something new that requires some effort to learn. People are lazy and they often prefer to play a relaxing round of the good old than learn something and painfully find out they're bad at it.
People know that it takes time and money to get good.

The more important things that make a casino succeed are good advertising, a lot of money to throw away, an appealing graphics and good reviews (often paid).
1471  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC dumps on high inflation report.. on: September 13, 2022, 10:38:29 PM
Heavily pumped?
To me that was more like “recovered a little”..

Call it as you will. Some people bought thousands of BTC in just 1 hour across many exchanges on September 9 and that led to the move up.

Quote
It just recovered a tiny bit and now that’s all gone..

You're wrong.
Firstly, that recovery started around 19200 and it's now at 20200 so 1k up from a few days back and more than 1.5k from the last week's lows.
Secondly, we're still in the same range we were in since June which is roughly 19 - 25k USD. It really doesn't change anything that Bitcoin goes up by 2k USD if it remains in the range. This is normal for a bear market accumulation period.
1472  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC dumps on high inflation report.. on: September 13, 2022, 09:59:20 PM
Bitcoin dumps off a cliff...
Maybe you haven't noticed but it was heavily pumped in the last 3 days and it dumped pretty much the amount it gained in that time.
This doesn't have to mean that people are abandoning bitcoin or getting scared of the inflation report. It can simply mean that short-term traders who recently bought decided to take profits.

It's funny that bitcoin can gain 15% and then dump 10%, but people will only see the dump ignoring that it's still up 5%
1473  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Regulations on proof of work might be coming on: September 13, 2022, 01:01:05 AM
I do agree that a lot of the stuff the media and governments print out about energy usage on POW is quite ridiculous but I can definitely agree that if something seems like it's wasting a lot of energy for a lot of nothing, it should raise concerns.

That said, we have to stop asking why anyone would ban POW but ask why people don't understand the benefits it brings.

It is like idiotic to start banning what people use power for, but we need to start understanding more, and in some countries why it became a problem.

It's not wasting energy. Energy is being bought on a free market. A power company puts a price tag on it and is also allowed to put a limit on your connection. Moreover, you are required to state the amount you'll need before they agree to connect you to the grid.

This means that if I build a house and request a 50 kW connection, it can be approved or denied. If they approve, this means they can spare this much for my house. A typical home needs 15 kW, so if I get 50, it means I can use the rest to mine, or heat my pool, or light my personal tennis court. They don't care what I'll do with it, the same way a grocery store owner doesn't care if you eat the food you buy, feed it to your dog, or throw it away.  

Government putting additional restrictions is once again trying to interfere with a free market, putting itself between the seller and the buyer.
1474  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fake Bitcoin. on: September 12, 2022, 10:43:46 PM
Could you give us examples of such fake bitcoins? Are you talking about coins with the word bitcoin, like bitcoin gold? Are you talking about coins that use bitcoin to give themselves legitimacy, like luna?
Stablecoins are also fake in a way because you cannot prove that they have collateral and that they're printing because there's a  real demand for their token. They could be printing with no demand and no collateral and we wouldn't even know it's happening.

From the internet - "if anyone at that brawl would understand what Till was saying, the fight would start much faster and be much bigger and bloody" Cheesy Seriously, who understands 100% of what Till is saying? He and Paddy should visit same guy that improved Michael Bisping pronunciation. Bisping talked the same, but now he is UFC commentator.

Cut them some slack, they're both from Liverpool  Smiley
I don't think anyone from GB has problems understanding them.

Followers of this sport wouldn't be convince Nate will win. Regardless of Nates strong chin, he will be tagged or choked and will probably just in the first round.

Why Nate and Holland brought so many buddies for this conference seem odd. There must have been a plan but its good that they were stopped. If the riot broke, we wont be seeing good fights if the whole ufc279 is cancelled.

There were  articles and youtube videos saying Holland was kicked by Khamzat, no footage Ive seen so far. Is there?

If the fight goes longer and Nate has a chance to do some proper boxing he'll do a lot of damage because of his fast jabs and long reach. We'll see how it goes but I'd put my money on him.

Good job OP, thanks for reporting it. I wish more people had the time to hut for these sites and report them as they pop up.

I never play at these new sites because there's so many scams that those of us who were in this business for a while know what they should avoid. That said, I wonder how many people get caught by these scammers every day. How many people send money to unverified copycat sites without checking their reviews and reputation.
1477  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin could drop to $10,000 by 2023 as the Fed normalizes interest rate policy on: September 09, 2022, 06:15:58 PM
Why 10k? That would have to completely nullify what chart analysts were tracing for the last 10 years. No tech adoption curve, no regression curves, no 200 week ma lows, no lengthening cycles, and so on. In 2023 we'll be just a few months before the next halving and you expect the price to literally halve as well?

I don't feel like the US FED can keep tightening for another year. If they do they will crash the stock market and start a recession, which means unemployment and bankruptcies and this means less taxes paid. They can't do it.



With the recent Fed meeting, it seems that they are being very tough on their decision, they think it will even cause pain for the US economy and the world economy. Their only goal is to do everything to bring the inflation rate to 2%, commodity prices will fall, that is the only goal they are pursuing.

The probability of the next rate hike will be 75 basis points and this will really cause financial markets to continue witnessing a strong wobble. Bitcoin dumping $10k is possible with the harsh policies of the Fed.

Not really. First of all if they continue cutting rates and crash the US stock market they will destroy the country and go into recession. They can't do that and they know it. They want to scare people from investing and make them move into saving fiat money by increasing the price of the USD, but they know it well that if they overcorrect they'll put the economy in a downward spiral.

I also think that there's only a certain number of US companies in Bitcoin that can go bankrupt from this. Bitcoin is not only based on leveraged companies and not only on US companies. Whoever was at risk mostly sold by now.
1478  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Rise of Mobile Gambling Is Leaving People Ruined and Unable to Quit on: September 09, 2022, 06:01:28 PM
Please show me the difference between a gambler who sits in a casino all day, a gambler who plays on his computer all day and a gambler who plays on his phone all day. The action is the same, the time spent is the same, money wagered is the same.
One major difference is the time spent to gamble. Those who play at the comfort of their home can use the travel time going to a physical casino. Jason described this "travel time" as a non-gambling activity. I guess he could use that added playing time to spin a hundred or more on slots and bet more money.

That would be true only if a gambler had such a large amount of money that they could play all day. Most of us do not.
Does it really matter if you gamble for 6 hours and make hundreds of rolls or spins, or you gamble for 12 hours because you're at home and can keep going? In my case when I have money and decide to play everything is over in 1 hour. I either win or lose in that short time. You can technically gamble all day if you keep a few cents each time, but who does that?

Yes you're right but when you go to a land based casino you meet other people, who are real, so you can't hide your addiction, they see you and you are aware of it. But on a computer or a mobile phone nobody sees your addiction, even his wife and his kids in the testimony of the article didn't realize how addict he was becoming. Then you are not ashamed in front of anyone for having those compulsive habits, if you hide it.

Really? Would you be ashamed surrounded by people who do the same thing? Like a person who is naked isn't ashamed when they're at a nudist beach and other people are naked as well.
1479  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fiat Banks Conspiracy Against Customers. Bitcoin is the Best Option on: September 08, 2022, 10:15:51 PM
You're completely right about banks being vulnerable and not caring about customers. They think their services are a must for everyone. That you cannot survive without a bank and the government supports that by making sure all registered businesses have bank accounts so that they can be monitored and taxed accordingly.
Banks conspire against the people but they do it with consent of the governments who want to eliminate fiat money. It looks like one big conspiracy theory but their actions speak for themselves. I advise you to read what's going on in Sweden.
1480  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Video Gaming Sector Consumes More Energy Than Bitcoin Mining. on: September 08, 2022, 09:54:26 PM
The question is.... did these researchers dig a little deeper?

Did they calculate how much "clean" energy are used for both gaming and Bitcoin mining to see what the real impact is. Let's say Bitcoin mining was only done on renewable energy sources, like "Wind" / "Solar" / "Geothermal" energy ....then it will not be harmful.

The real difference is this.... Bitcoin mining use electricity to power a global payment system, where Video gaming use electricity to power systems for entertainment.  Roll Eyes

It's not that easy. You did the right thing by putting clean in quotation because it's not really clean. Wind and solar are only partially clean because they have their own issues. For instance, solar puts strains the grid during the day and doesn't produce anything at night. Wind does produce at night but requires a lot of maintenance to make sure the wind breaks work and the turbine doesn't overspin in high winds. It also costs a lot of resources to build. It takes so much steel, concrete and copper to build a wind generator that it's going to take a decade for it to pay for itself, provided that in those 10 years it doesn't break.

Germany invested a lot of money in green energy and has the most expensive power in the EU.
IMO nuclear power is not harmful. They should stop attacking bitcoin and think of ways to make energy cheap and affordable instead of trying to make it green at all cost.
