1501  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you feel bad while paying with BTC? on: March 24, 2023, 08:40:57 AM
I can definitely relate to that feeling. It can be tough to part with an asset like Bitcoin, especially when you believe that its value is likely to increase in the future. But at the same time, I think it's important to remember that Bitcoin was designed to be a currency, and we should be using it as such if we want to see wider adoption. As more and more merchants begin to accept Bitcoin, it will become more commonplace to pay with it, and people will feel more comfortable doing so.
1502  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Can miners Manipulate network to benefit themselves on: March 23, 2023, 11:02:20 AM
Why do I ask, well if you look at some of these blocks in the photo above, you can see that some blocks have less than 500 transactions when on other days we have 2000 to 3000 transactions being accommodated in each block,

The number of transactions in a block is not fixed and can vary based on the size of each transaction and the number of transactions being processed at a given time. Originally, the intention was for the block size to be determined by the total size of bytes in the block, rather than a set number of transactions. This means that a block can contain a smaller number of large transactions or a larger number of smaller transactions, depending on the specific transactions being processed at that time.

so really how does the mining mechanics work

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining

because at the moment we have over 50 thousand transactions in 212 blocks pending and to clear this why arent more transactions being accommodated in each block to clear the clog???

Given the limited block size, how do you suggest miners should go about including all the pending transactions in the blocks?

My question: Do miners manipulate the network in their favor to get better incentives?

How exactly? Miners may prioritize certain transactions with higher transaction fees, as they receive the fees as part of their reward for adding the block to the blockchain. That's pretty much it.

I think it's important to keep in mind that just because a project or coin does well in a bull market doesn't necessarily mean that it's a high-quality project. It could just be hype or speculation driving up the price. Investing in any asset should always involve proper research and analysis, regardless of whether you like the project or not. It's natural to have biases and preferences, but ultimately, we should base our investment decisions on sound logic and evidence.
1504  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Diversified accounts for children on: March 23, 2023, 09:57:09 AM
I think it's a smart move to plan ahead for your children's future. By creating bitcoin wallets for each of your children, you are giving them a great opportunity to have financial independence once they reach a certain age. I believe it's important to teach children the value of money and how to manage it from a young age.

But, what do you mean by "you will not expose them to crypto as teenagers to avoid social vices"? Although it's true that cryptocurrencies carry certain risks, much like any other investment, wouldn't you agree that it's important to educate children about all potential risks so that they can develop critical thinking skills and make well-informed decisions as they grow up? Moreover, exposing teenagers to cryptocurrencies can help them become more digitally literate and develop skills in coding, computer science, and other related fields. I think by providing them with the right guidance and support, you can help them develop the skills and knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their finances and their futures.

I completely agree on the importance of reputation. It's definitely the most critical factor when it comes to online gambling sites. If you can't trust the site, then there's no point in even playing there. In addition to that, I think it's also important to consider the competence of the people running the site. Have they taken the necessary steps to ensure that the site is secure? A site may have a great reputation, but if their security measures are subpar, it can still put your money and personal information at risk. These are all important questions to ask before depositing your money on a site. You don't want to end up being the victim of a scam or a hack, where all your funds are stolen.
1506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are Casino Sites Cheating Us? on: March 23, 2023, 08:32:44 AM
I always gamble for fun with small amounts and lose them but I don't care. But I started playing blackjack yesterday with $1k and noticed that the casino sites are somehow cheating us. I lost my $1k yesterday. through Blackjack. What do you think about casino site algorithms?  Are they cheating with us?

I'm not so sure about that. Casino sites use random number generators and provably fair algorithms to ensure that games are fair and unbiased. It's just a matter of luck and probability. But, I think the key is to understand that the odds are always against you in gambling. That's why it's important to be aware of the risks and to gamble responsibly. The best way to avoid losing big is to just stick to small bets. That way, even if you lose, it won't be a huge blow to your bankroll.
1507  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Looking for INVESTORS on: March 23, 2023, 08:23:25 AM
Hey OP, before you go knocking on investors' doors, focus on getting your game to a presentable stage. You gotta show them that you're all in and have a solid plan for success. It's not just about having an idea - you gotta put in the elbow grease to make it worth their while.

Based on what we've seen so far, you haven't demonstrated a significant amount of progress with your project. From our perspective, it looks like you've only dabbled with the map editor and taken a few screenshots. This level of development is insufficient to warrant serious consideration for investment. I encourage you to put in the time and effort needed to show tangible progress before seeking out potential investors.
1508  Other / Meta / Re: We can not discuss if 'ChipMixer is a honeypot or not' outside their own thread? on: March 22, 2023, 02:44:43 PM
... Honeypot ...

Not to mention the Terrabytes of user data that was taken into custody along with the  ?$44M? USD in Bitcoins exchanged.

To be precise, it's terabytes of data, not "user data". At this moment, it's difficult to determine the exact nature of the information that was seized.

My best guess is that it's the size of DigitalOcean's droplet storage, and it's possible that most of the space is actually unused, i.e. it doesn't contain any data, which can create the impression of larger data volumes. This is simply due to the way disk images are managed and provisioned in cloud environments.
1509  Economy / Gambling / Re: Looking for paying online casinos for refer on: March 22, 2023, 08:26:16 AM
I don't know why some people do it.  ?
After all, this is the stigma of a dishonest person, a criminal, and this is for the rest of his life !


I think that in some cases, people might not know that they're promoting scams. They might just be trying to make some money through affiliate links without doing the proper research. But even if they don't know that they're promoting scams, they should still take responsibility for their actions. If they're promoting something that turns out to be fraudulent and are alerted to it by the community, they should apologize and remove the links immediately.

The problem is that some people are just too focused on making money and don't care about the consequences of their actions. They see an opportunity to make some quick cash and they jump on it without thinking about the people they're potentially harming.
1510  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Looking for INVESTORS on: March 21, 2023, 08:12:15 PM
I've always been a fan of games like Civilization and Age of Empires, so any game that has a similar gameplay style would be right up my alley. I'm curious, though, what do you mean by investing in a game? Like, investing money into the development of the game? If so, I think you'll have a better chance if you start a Kickstarter campaign or something similar to raise funds for game development.
1511  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying cheap is best formula on: March 21, 2023, 07:48:46 PM
OP, it's great that you're interested in investing in bitcoin. However, I would caution against assuming that past performance will necessarily predict future results. While there may be trends in the market, there are always unforeseen factors that can impact the value of cryptocurrencies. It's important to consider the risks and benefits of investing in any asset.

If you're comfortable with the potential risks and feel that bitcoin aligns with your investment strategy, then go for it! But just remember, investing in bitcoin can be a rollercoaster ride.  Smiley
1512  Economy / Gambling / Re: 1xbit1.com - New 1xbit.com management - We will try to solve all the problems - on: March 21, 2023, 05:16:15 PM
1xbit has a bad reputation for a reason. They have a lot of unsolved cases and it's clear that they can't be trusted. Yes, they've made announcements before about fixing their issues, but nothing ever came of it. Whether 1xbit1.com is part of the "new management" or not makes no difference. They should never be trusted again.

It's unfortunate that some people still fall for their marketing tactics.
1513  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Who is most reliable person? on: March 21, 2023, 11:17:42 AM
I completely agree with lovesmayfamilis and others. It's important to have someone you can trust with your cryptocurrency funds in case something happens to you. It's also important to consider the level of risk you're comfortable with. If you're young and healthy, it might be best to take control of your own investments and be your own bank. But if you're older or have health concerns, it's wise to have someone trustworthy to take over. It's all about personal choice and finding the right balance between security and accessibility.

However, I also think it's important to educate yourself on the best security practices for storing your cryptocurrency, regardless of whether you're entrusting it to someone else or holding onto it yourself. No one cares about your money as much as you do, so it's important to take the necessary precautions to keep your investments safe.

Hvala na detaljnom odgovoru. Ja cu pomalo pisati pa sta bude bude.

Kao što ti je Daniel91 napisao, za Member rank potrebno ti je minimalno 60 bodova aktivnosti koje možeš skupiti za nešto malo više od dva mjeseca. Pokušaj napisati barem 7 postova tjedno (14 postova u dva tjedna) za maksimalni activity. Osim toga, trebaš i 10 merita, ali tu mislim da nećeš imati problema ako ti postovi budu imalo smisleni. Već si zaradio svoja prva dva!


U kriptovalutama sam ja od 2018, nisam neki ekspert da imam napredna znanja ali nisam ni pocetnik, a imam iskustva i na drugim forumima pa nisam ni u tome pocetnik. Kao sto sam rekao, necu forsirati, pomalo cu pisati pa mozda jednom i dodjem u situaciju da se zaradi nesto. 

Ako ciljaš na kampanje, pokušaj se aktivirati u Gambling sekcijama foruma jer većina kampanja zahtijeva aktivnost upravo tamo. Sve ostalo će ti doći prirodno, ne trebaš forsirati.

Out of curiosity, does Satoshi still work in the background on this project though anonymously?

Luckily, Satoshi retired on time and nobody knows where they went or what they're up to now. It's one of the best decisions regarding Bitcoin's decentralization. Maybe they're still chipping in for the project using a different name, who knows!
1518  Other / Meta / Re: Should the forum stop advertising mixers? on: March 18, 2023, 11:44:13 AM
I see it differently. Generally, DT members tag other members who are aware of and actively promote fraudulent schemes and businesses that have the tendency to scam their customers (or at least have strong indications that it could be so). In my opinion, CM does not fit into that classification, and I'm not aware of any intention on their part to deceive their customers.

So, according to you, the main reason is knowing about a scam vs not knowing about it? So, a person who promoted bitconnect not knowing that it's a scam is OK, but a person who had their suspicions and still did that is semi-OK? No sarcasm, I'm interested where the line is.

I think you already answered that question yourself. "Signature promoters are being red trusted if they're aware the business they're promoting is scamming its clients, are they not?"

There is no evidence to prove that CM scammed their users, and there's my line.
1519  Other / Meta / Re: Should the forum stop advertising mixers? on: March 18, 2023, 09:08:46 AM
At the same time, the signature promoters aren't responsible for the means in which the platform they promote are been used.
It depends. Signature promoters are being red trusted if they're aware the business they're promoting is scamming its clients, are they not? So, forum members actively work against fraudulent businesses. I'm not against mixers, on the contrary, but I feel like we've drawn a line in the sand when it comes to deciding what is fair and what isn't. IMO, if it's proven that Chipmixer wasn't deleting data as promised, it should be red trusted. Not that anybody cares at this point. It's not coming back.

Also, where is it proven that CM wasn't deleting data as promised? As of now, all we know is that authorities have allegedly seized 7TB of data, but the contents of that data remain unknown. All other investigations detailed in the document, specifically those related to the mixer's source of use, rely on the analysis of public blockchain data.

Quote
Will you hold a casino signature promoters responsible for the addict problem gotten from gambling, NO so as such they shouldn't be be held liable for the fraudulent activities carried out by the money launders that use their promoted platform chipmixer.

It's a bit different because casinos are legal in most jurisdictions, until they start cheating clients. There's a number of bookies in my area and I could go there and place my bets, so promoting a casino in my country isn't illegal, even if someone gets addicted. Casinos are not held responsible for people's mental health, just as liquor stores aren't responsible for people getting drink, car sellers are not responsible for accidents and people driving their cars without a license.

Mixers on the other hand are in the gray area. They aren't illegal, but if people use them to launder stolen coins, the situation changes.

Where is the difference? Online casinos also operate in a grey area since they are prohibited in numerous jurisdictions and can serve as a means for money laundering, particularly if they lack proper regulation (which is the case for many). Moreover, the use of privacy-focused cryptocurrencies like Monero is illegal in some jurisdictions, and even Bitcoin is illegal in certain parts of the world. Should we consider banning them as well?

What about KYC, will you ask this before the registration or later on since it is stated there that our information will be put on a safety place.
On the their KYC policy page: https://www.royalstarscasino.com/en/info/kyc-policy

It says that there's no exact process whether it will be asked during the registration or before the withdrawal.

They explained the process of KYC verification in the following sentence.

The player has to provide documents in 48h after requesting the payout, and the merchant will review them in 48 hours.

This means that they will ask for players' documents after the withdrawal request. According to their KYC policy, the current requirements involves three elements of verification; ID verification, proof of address & proof of payment.


BTW, a warm welcome to the forum, @RoyalStarsCasino!
