Most crypto users are familiar with the HODL (Hold On for Dear Life). It's a good thing if you can HODL. I want to say HODL for dear life, not for lifetime. There is a reason why am I saying that. During the last bull run in 2017, I had more than enough funds to start a real life business by selling my Bitcoin. And to be honest, starting a real life business was too important for me since I was doing a job abroad. But sadly, I was greedy and had been waiting for more bumps. Eventually, I regret and now I can't do anything with that fund since bought a dew worthless shitcoin.

So if I HODL for dear life, then I should sell it for my need. Even I would won more BTC now since there were many opportunities when bitcoin dropped up to $3K.

What's your opinion? Should we HODL for Life or for Lifetime?

You're correct in that its not something that we typically really want to be sharing, we're are trying to be rather agile with this.

1. We do not have a predefined budget. Its not a project where we're trying to disrupt or make a big impact, we're aiming small at first and will see how it goes. Our goal is to invest the development and support share of each round into promoting it in the future. Additionally, we've already invested time and money and are not planning on stopping this investment unless there is no interest in the game moving forward.

2. We're trying to make our point of difference to focus on transparency so that people can see exactly what is going on. For example, once the TRX is in the draw we do not have the access to it and its only released when a round ends and the winnings are distributed. You can verify this in the smart contract if you like.

3. Again, transparency is our major difference. We also provide multiple opportunities to win prizes that don't just depend on how much you can afford to put in. Such as early birds and the drawer bonus can be awarded as long as you've played the the minimum game entry.

Another thing I would like to stress is the game is not actually controlled by us, its purely driven by the smart contract. In fact you do not even need to use the website and can do it all on Tronscan if you prefer, so even if we retire the website and shut down the project is will still run on the blockchain and will still be perfectly playable indefinitely.

In regards to the UI, we've aimed to keep it clean and simple though we're of course open to feedback.

Just to confirm, the balance on the smart contract cannot be accessed or manipulated by us or anybody else.

1) Duplicate content. If the site is allowed to appear in search engines, it could affect the ranking of the original Bitcointalk, as well if create confusion - for example, some threads could be indexed for "Original BTCtalk", and some for "Beta Bitcointalk". This can of course be solved with the "noindex" tag or directly disallowing crawlers in robots.txt. This would however prevent people finding the site. But for the usage I mentioned first it would be the best solution.

2) Copyrights. In theory, every forum user is an author who can decide where their posts should appear. I'm not an expert but this probably would't be a problem if the "Beta Bitcointalk" appears on the bitcointalk.org domain. Otherwise, maybe something similar to the Internet Archive regulation could also apply. If this was a problem anyway, then the current staff could update the Terms of Use accordingly, so people writing in the forum would also give automatically permission for its posts to be published on Beta.

I still believe that it would be better to have an official Beta on Epochtalk back, with as much Bitcointalk content as possible (a recent migrated content snapshot would suffice, no need to make side-by-side running content updates), run by the development team. They’d be the first to see/hear the issues people would be encountering during the Beta test with Bitcointalk content, which is really our main focus, let’s face it.

We know that the scope of the project surpasses Bitcointalk in principle, but most of us really are likely to be rather more Bitcointalk centered, than striving to test Epochtalk’s forum capabilities in a general sense.

Why would an AI need human intervention?   Do pilots talk to the birds when they have an issue in their plane?

Hum. Honestly don't see how this would prevent any scams but maybe there's something I don't know. I mean, can think of a few easy workarounds: put in a QR code or post an image, or just a link that goes to an invoice asking to pay. Which I suppose, works for anyone who really wants to put an address for legitimate purposes but equally accessible to those not.

on Twitter still needs human resources to check for these wrongdoing. It is clear that Twitter is still quite weak to ensure that scams are not present on their social media sites.
Not only crypto, 18+ sensitive topics are rampant on Twitter and no one has yet handled those video clips
So don't trust any social media too much, check it carefully before you speculate on something. Even if it is a celebrity fundraising project or event, you need to verify it before making a deposit.

The forum already caches all images, so bandwidth shouldn't be the problem.
But I don't think Admin wants to deal with copyright issues. Now the forum can claim this:

now lets imagine world without fiat currency.
lets say we use bitcoins.
so milk price how many btc?  fuel price? rent ? and how the prices will calculated?
and if there is only limited supply of bitcoins.....then those who who have bitcoins merely will rule over others?
so your skills or value in society dont count only matters who go the most of the bitcoins?
bitcoin halving by the time so less and less btc will be in circleation....so how the world will remain sustaineble then ?
okay if bitcoin is not good to be currency then ethereum ?? well ethereum is centralised as i know ?
stable currenies?? well i dont see point of them they are just the 1:1 of the same fiat currrencies.
so where does the theory come from then we go all in cryptocurrency and fiat currency will disapere?
well this is not possible bitcoin without fiat can not serve all the peoples currecny needs !!



right now we dont have clear answere so fiat currency still rules. how we are going to control the money supply how big quantity of currency is in circelation?
if bitcoin is the future of money without fiat then everybody will have the guns and shoot each other:D just to get other bitcoins becouse btc has limited supply lol   so i want to know if fiat currency will disapere then how the new currency will be issued? and how it will be backed?

and please dont comment something nonsense lets try to gather here only smart comments as this topic is important topic to know.

One of the hindrance on why i do let myself skipped out on mining activity due to this kind of reason about warranty yet shipping cost would always
be not cheap specially if you are on a far country to China.If they do said about free shipping which had SFR mentioned above then thats quite still in doubt.
Extending the warranty period from 6 months to 12 months well its good for locals or nearby but for those on other countries then it wouldnt really be that something interesting.
Putting up service centers? possible but depending if they do saw that a particular country have lots of miners.

For a second, i thought this site made you and your wife had a conflict and she left you because you ended up losing all your money. But i never think if your wife is more addicted in gambling than you. Most of woman aren't interested in gambling since they know it if gambling is too risky

What do you think?

at some point people will be able to walk in a casino and just bet on slot machines with bitcoin?
or play poker using crypto, but irl?

do you think it will become a mass adoption currency or it'll keep as it is on online websites only?

of course some merchants and places already adopt crypto and BTC as a way of payment, but curious here:
how long you think it'll take to reach the point where we can bet in real life places with bitcoin?

If they provide repair/replacement without returning it to China.
If they do it quickly. Under 3 weeks
Then it would be really good.

Do you think there's more traffic you can get on social media? Since you need to target those crypto users before gaining some good results and provably the one you can see the ads there are not much on crypto. So best try to advertise first on big crypto sites like etherscan or maybe coinmarketcap since provably you will get a traffic to the real crypto user guys out there.

It's a weird one based on the article. Also is cbd still legal (with a max of 0.1-0.5% thc)?

I think the police in the US are extremely overmilitarised, they may as well not be separate institutions from what I can tell based on the amount of legal favours the police have there.

Drug prohibition in general is just a way for most governments to prosecute the poor - if you're rich enough you're getting a drug dealer to come near your land: you're not meeting them in an alleyway somewhere. I think weed is much safer than cigsrretes too - and it smells nicer.

The $4bn budget as an argument doesn't sound much though, the US and UK spend about that funding weapons against isil (so they can fight their proxy war with Russia).
