I agree, there's just so many legitimate uses for bitcoin, we do not need to search for it, we know what it is. We now search for places to use it, for example interest in bitpay, bitcoin gambling etc... is skyrocketing in google trends.

Coins will be returned for bets that was placed after the event happened.

lol, where's your wall now motherfucker?

ok thanks for letting me know.

Actually Bitcoin would be wildly successful if it were able to capture the entire gambling + drug market, worldwide. That's a 100B+ annual revenue market. Bitcoin would be able to compete pretty much head on with minor currencies such as JPY/AUD/CAD.

This is a good idea actually, I think Bitcoiner who uploads videos to youtube should do this. This will get all the viewers curious about Bitcoin. Youtube has A LOT of viewers.

Ok so pirateat40 has been seen in person, before he was labeled scammer. But I still don't see his confirmed name and address anywhere, can you point that out to me?

Also, even if someone was able to put the pieces together and confirm his name and address, this is still quite different from BFL whom has put out their real identity since the start.

Which victim did pirateat40 personally meet? also I thought we only have pirateat40's suspected name and address, not a confirmed one. Maybe I'm wrong about that.

True, feasibility does not guarantee it's not a scam, but non-feasible business is a guarantee that it is a scam. So BTCST = 100% scam. BFL = scam possible, but unlikely. Btw BFL just showcased their ASIC miner at CES:

I believe the best strategy is once escrowed, the buyer isn't getting the money back under any circumstances, and the buyer need to approve release to release money to the seller.
Disputed money gets donated to charity.

This type of escrow works, because:
1. the buyer will never see his money back, so there absolutely no incentive for the buyer to scam the seller, especially since the seller knows the buyer's name and address.
2. the seller will not receive the money if he try to scam the buyer, so there's absolutely no incentive for the seller either.

Almost everything that goes bad in a transaction is due to a motive, if you remove the motive, then every transaction should go smoothly.

The only tiny problem with this model, is that a troll seller can promise to sell something that he doesn't have, and get people to lose money (though the seller doesn't have anything to gain except just to troll people, this should happen only rarely). This can easily be prevented by having some type of reputation system in place, it maybe forum post count or a real feedback rating system.

Let's see how they are similar:
1. BTCST was operated by one unidentified unknown person. BFL has nearly 20 employees and we know exactly who their CEO is or where he's located at.

2. BTCST promised something that was mathematically impossible to sustain for any extended period of time. BFL promises something that is very possible by utilizing known technology, and the same product is being worked on by several other companies.

虽然实物币很流行，不过我还是认为这种东西完全没有价值和意义。

um it already has. The halving is a well known and studied event, it was priced in when the price went from $5 to $10 a few months before the halving.

The current $13 is not due to the halving, but due to the good publicity and confidence generated by Wordpress.com accepting Bitcoins. To go higher, we would
need significant new catalysts, something like "wikipedia/reddit accepts bitcoin", or "50% gambling sites are accepting Bitcoin".

Bitcoin's value can only go higher by having more places accepting it, so go out and promote Bitcoin.

MagicalTux is in the business of selling domain names?

Not really, my martingale strategy is calculated to have 1 catastrophic loss in about 89000 rounds played, so far I have been lucky and about +200 BTC.

The 97.6% odd game is what, 1 catastrophic loss in about 50 rounds? that's not acceptable to me. Also my martingale strategy actually uses the 24% odd game, instead of the 50%.

I think the key with martingale is take your initial small winnings, and walk away.

That's completely normal, I've made over 200 BTC on SDice with my martingale strategy. That's exactly what martingale will do for you, it allow you to win small winnings over time, then at some point, you will meet one gigantic loss. How well martingale works depends on the max bet limit and your own bank roll. In theory, if you had a huge bankroll, and the casino allows extremely large max bet, it's unlikely for you to lose even in millions of rounds of play. But eventually, you will lose, the probability guarantees it.

hmm seems to be fixed, all I did was remove the blank line in the first line of my html (I researched the issue and some said that can cause google's false alarm). God google's detection algorithm is stupid.

Yes I see the same thing, I'm very confused, I checked my site and didn't see anything abnormal. Maybe a false alarm on google's part, I have submitted a request for their review.

Can someone review the site for me and tell me if there's anything bad I did not notice?

The blockchain.info site has been intermittently slow or down for me, is anyone else experiencing this?

Yep, if using Bitcoin too much is bad for Bitcoin, then the software/protocol need to be re-designed to handle such scenario.

or more stability
