How are those recognition scores calculated, if you don't mind sharing that?
Just went over the entire thread and website, but couldn't find information about the recognition score.
A wild guess would be that it checks how many times you've been mentioned or quoted, but I have no idea.

I always love reading news like this, I mean in the grand scale of things it might not mean much, but it's certainly very good publicity.
Seems like this was actually done as a publicity stunt. Do you happen to have an article in english as well?

Can't fully answer that question, since I don't really look for other casinos anymore, but I can share how I ended up at the current one I'm playing on.
I think I had discovered Crypto-Games back in 2014 or 2015, after reading about them here on the forum.
Back then I was interested because they offered interesting investment opportunities for different altcoins.
After some research about their provably fair system and the user experiences, I decided to take a chance and invest a little bit.
Now my investment days are long gone, so I just play there from time to time. Their proven track record is what keeps me there, as well as the great community.

Look, eventually all these bugs will be fixed. I mean if we're being honest, ETH also had its fair share of issues when they first launched.
That said, I've not invested in EOS myself, nor do I see myself invest in it in the near future.

I have to admit that I'm kinda picky when it comes to advertising, certainly with signatures that I see here on the forum.
I think in all my years being a member here, I've only clicked on someone's signature link maybe 5 times or so.
If I see something that might look interesting, I usually check out their announcement thread and then decide whether I want to spend some time looking in to the project.
That's just me though, I see how many people sign up through my own signature link and I get a few referrals each week.
So it must be pretty effective in the end, keeping in mind that my own campaign has been running for a couple of years.

What for people will need your database of WPs if almost no-one read them on native homepages even during (ICO) token sales?
It's not because most people don't take the time to read them, that they're not important documents. Besides, if you're investing in something, without having read the white paper, you're just throwing away your money... I think it's a great initiative, it's good to have a public back up of these white papers. Also handy for when projects decide to change their whitepaper without notifying everyone, just so there's always an original public copy available. |

I was really happy when Crypto-Games finally implemented segwit. Not that it took that long, I mean they were faster than many other services.
I do see the benefits every time I make a withdraw. The fees are just really negligible now and if the Bitcoin network ever gets congested again, I won't be paying too much on those higher fees.
CG is the only site I play on, so I cannot comment on other website's implementation.

Well it seems that everyone is now looking forward to BItcoin. This announces the future of the Bitcoin and potentiality of crypto market in future. I hope he gets a good return at his old age
LOL you're joking, right? I hope that he loses his private keys or something. He should be in prison for what he's done to his victims, if you read about what he has done exactly, you'd probably think the same. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Cosby_sexual_assault_casesYou can't ban him from buying Bitcoin of course, but it's not really good advertising either... |

Yes Bitcoin and other crypto-currencies has made online gambling easier for gamblers than the old online gambling payment methods. people could gamble easily on crypto casinos even from countries where gambling is banned. That's literally an advantage for gamblers.
As much as it made online gambling easier, it also made it a problem as we ended up having more addicts than normal. Everything is anonymous in this space, and for the fact that blockchain brought that for a lot of gamblers, and those who have only been hearing gambling from afar before, getting to have a taste of it, it ended up brewing more gambling addicts into the community. That is a story for another day anyway. I really do not see much miracle here, and for the fact that it made online gambling accessible without issues with the bank or government watching over one's shoulder, I really do not see how it has been a good advantage for gamblers. Sorry if I hit someone where it is not so good. I'd really like to see some data that support what you're saying. I don't know if there's actually an increase in problem gamblers due to the prevalence of crypto gambling websites. Not saying that you are wrong, just curious about the actual numbers on that. What I see are a lot of benefits over regular online gambling. I think everybody agrees that it's better for the customer (player) to have instant withdraws. That's something you definitely don't see on regular casino websites. Then there's the whole concept of provably fair gambling, also pretty much unheard of before crypto gambling. |

What I don’t understand is why there is a need for this.
I can understand the need for something like this in countries with corrupt regimes, where currency fluctuations and inaccessibility to banking makes individual finance difficult.
However, wouldn’t refugees benefit more from FIAT donations and teachable skills that are applicable to trades thus increasing their chances of occupation? I still don’t see why this is necessary. There’s more effective methods that involve half of the hassle...
Maybe they would indeed benefit more from fiat donations, at least in a practical sense. But I do think that they stand to benefit way more by having knowledge about crypto. If they're fully dependent on fiat donations, they have to rely on donations given to them through various NGO's. Who knows how much of that money actually ends up in the right place. With crypto they can basically have a direct link with the people who are donating. I just know that if a refugee reached out to me and offers sufficient proof of their current situation, I'd have no hesitations for sending them a small donations through Bitcoin or whatever altcoin. How would you do that with fiat? Go to a Western Union office and send them money that way? |

Most interesting aspect of Roger speaking out yesterday, is the fact that he significantly lowered his tone in various ways. He wanted to say that Bitcoin was no longer usable for commerce at all, but corrected himself and referred to how it wasn't usable for commerce last December. In other words, he admits that Bitcoin as it is right now is actually usable for commerce.
There was also the issue about a month ago where a Bitcoin Core developer found a severe flaw in Bitcoin Cash and helped save them from a huge disaster. Ver understands that he can't completely slog off Bitcoin or else he would look bad by comparison.But that's in essence precisely what he's doing though, even though he might have 'corrected' himself later on, that first statement is the one that's going to stick. The correction is just made so he can't be accused for lying, but I really think that 'Bitcoin is slow and expensive' was made with somewhat ill intent. Doesn't he already look bad for most of his comments against Bitcoin? I don't think his reputation could get much lower than this. |

I've encountered a small visual bug on Firefox 62.0. The sorting arrow behind the 'profit' column blocks the text, as you can see in this screenshot:  Also, are you going to add the deposit and withdraw fees for each exchange in the future? Since there's now a question mark for each of these values. |

this is not something that others should tell you.
Yes we should: Go use Segwit, you're wasting too much Bitcoin on fees if you don't. I'm regularly paying just 0.00001 BTC or less in fees to send Bitcoin. Why would you keep using legacy addresses when you can easily save so much. I know it can be a pain if you use the same address on different services, but it'll be a relief once you're just using your segwit address by default. |

this has been talked about soo much. many topics
summary:
these bitcoin miners have special contracts with energy companies for the energy companies to produce X amount of electric day or night.
this is good. because these power stations have a guaranteed stream of income and also a measurable utility it can prdict.
if power stations could produce sat 30mwat. but residentially it only produces 25mwat between 4pm and 9pm and drops to 15mwat ovrnigh-morning. the power station would not just stay at 25mwat all day and night. they would keep switching on and off as demand drops and rises.
sometimes because it takes 30 minutes+ to warm up the generators they end up having to grab(import) excess electric from neighbouring power stations to cover any random spikes of utility.
there have been times whre brown outs have occured when suddenly many people used electric but the power stations could not predict it. the UK had statistics that there are sudden spikes that happen during commercials of tv shows. because people suddenly go to their kitchen turn on the kitchen light. turn on their kettle to make a cup of coffee.
imagine 1million people suddenly flipping the switch of a kettle of 1800wat for jsut 5 minutes...
so power companies LOVE guaranteed income and measurable utility it can predict..
also
power companies over the last decade have switched and grown their renewable electricity sources. this is why amrican power stations have suddenly started being bitcoin mining farm happy. they have seen the benefit to iceland and the benefit to china
dont believe the FUD of "governments hate bitcoin" when you separate "government" and utility companies to see that utility companies love it as they can more happily keep a few extra generators running without having to warm up/warm down generators at certain times of day. they can also use the income from the mining farms to expand. or atleast not need to import electric during times of spikes. which saves them money
last point
compared to 2012, the GPU mining days. bitcoin mining is very much energy efficient. and becoming more energy efficient
take this year new 7nm ASICS vs 14nm ASICS can do:
14nm can do ~14terrahash for 1.3kw
7nm can do ~28terrahash for under 1kw
so although the hashrate may double the electric needed for a doubled hashrate goes DOWN
now think about how many GPU's would be needed to do 14 terrahashes of mining. if ASICS never became a thing
You're completely right, I've read an article which stated that Russia was looking into selling their excess power to Bitcoin miners. https://bitcoinist.com/russia-power-sell-energy-bitcoin-miners/They're even willing to offer them cheaper prices for that power, 2 rubles instead of their normal rate of 4.5 rubles. Now this article doesn't mention it, but they're doing this because otherwise they would be overloading their grid. |

Bitcoin Could Make Banks Obsolete, it'd be right.
Only if there are services offering loans. Banks used to offer you 3 main things. One was relative safety since you didn't have to hold cash at home. Crypto market eliminates this need as you are fine holding money on your own. Banks also allowed you to transfer money quickly as it wasn't needed to physically move bills between destinations. This also is eliminated by BTC. The only thing that crypto doesn't offer yet are loans. Well, there are quite a few loan providers active in the crypto world, mostly for P2P loans on a (relatively) small scale. Now these are obviously not a replacement for low-interest loans from financial institutions, but I'm just mentioning it because these services do exist. Heck, there has been a loan section here on the forum for so many years already. |

I know that a lot of people probably won't agree with me on this one, but I'd really like to see casinos use Steem more often for gambling.
They have no fees on transactions and they're also lightning fast.
I'm currently not aware if any casino is offering this at the moment, let me know if you know any any gambling website currently accepting Steem deposits/withdraws

For my daily crypto news, I've recently started using Faws as a news aggregator and also for receiving price notifications. https://faws.com/Aside from that I also visit Tradingview quite a lot, just to keep up-to-date with the latest technical analysis. Not much more than that really, but I don't day-trade, so I don't really need much more than that for long-term investing. |
