However, I can see they provide games by Bgaming which is known as the only 3rd party games provider with provably fair system so I think the review of "no provably fair games" is not completely true unless what is meant by efialtis is in house original provably fair games.
I meant it. Because the casino does not provide 1 game or few games from one game providers. They provide lots of games from lots of game providers so I only feel that it is abnormal to say that the casino does not provide provably fair games.

I asked them to make sure about what they write. I don't say their casino is bad.
1562  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will owning 0.01 BTC really make you rich? on: January 06, 2022, 06:09:46 PM
It is possible and if Bitcoin keeps rising, I would become richer with any amount of Bitcoin I owe.

I am not sure rich here is millionaire or billionaire or simply richer is rich. If it is about millionaire or billionaire, we will have to wait for long to see 0.01 BTC has a value of $1M. I don't know I can live till that day to witness this unbelievable price of Bitcoin.

Positively, 4 years ago, 0.01 BTC did not have high value but now it is valued around $400 that is very cool. If Bitcoin reaches to $400,000, 0.01 BTC will be exchanged at $4,000 that is very good value. I think I can wait for that price and it is safer to hold 0.01 BTC and wait for a day I can sell it at $4,000 than invest in new altcoins.
1563  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Top 6 Rare Metaverse Coins Under $0.6 on: January 06, 2022, 06:02:42 PM
I don't care about price is under $0.6 or under any price because token price is not important. Marketcap is important because it will help us to know how much capital is needed to pump a token. Pumps can occur naturally or artificially but it needs capital flow to pump a price significantly.

Projects with marketcap under $10M is more easily to be pumped if they have good products and good marketing. With support from general bullish market, they will pump to the Moon easily.

About GameFi and Metaverse projects, their tokenomics and models of their game modes are important for their sustainability. If their models are unsustainable, their tokens will not be able to maintain price. Gamers will farm tokens by playing games and dump it on free market. Price will be decided by how much gamers dump.

Coinbase is one of first crypto exchanges that run campaigns to earn crypto by learning. If I am right, Coinbase did it in 2019, 3 years ago. They required to KYC to claim airdrop as well. I am not sure that they did require KYC at beginning of their first Learn & Earn airdrop or just after a while sometime when they realized that they have to do something to detect and reject cheaters.

Coinbase Earn
Education is a big part of investing in crypto, especially for beginners. Coinbase offers a Coinbase Learn hub with beginner’s guides to different coins and uses of cryptocurrency, regular updates about what’s going on in the market, and recommendations for more resources.

It also incentivizes users to actively learn through Coinbase Earn. You can watch short videos and take quizzes about specific altcoins, and Coinbase will deposit a small amount of that crypto into your wallet as a reward.

@everyone I have had long chats with AllStars Bet101 and they have been very nice people, which is why I went ahead and reviewed their brand. It seems like they will really listen to feedback, so let them know how you feel about it.
It is checkmark that AllStarsbet101 has good quality. I know BTCGosu does not promote scam casino and the team are neutral with their reviews for casinos. I know months ago, BTCGosu publicly said and removed reviews about some casinos until their scam accusations were resolved.

Quote
From the review, it says No Provably Fair. It is not good for reputation of a casino. Will AllStarsbet101 team will deploy Provably Fair for their casino?

Greediness will always lead people to use more money and drinking more alcohol will make them feel confident and feel that their luck will come after these rounds. The more money you will use playing gambling will not guarantee your winning because we know that is about how good your luck stays beside you. But we forgot that instead of staying and using more money.
Gambling is addictive. Trading is addictive. Investment is addictive so in the end, people are responsible to control their emotion, decision. Their capital is protected or thrown away by themselves, not by market or casino. They only build up a location for gamblers or traders, investors to join. Gambling sites always have reminders about Gambling responsibly. It is responsibility of gamblers to read that reminder.

I use the free-play mode before using real money because I need to test the game and see how good the situation is for me. If I think the situation is not good or I feel it is a bad time for me, I will not force myself to try to use real mode instead of still using free-play mode. The article shows us how we must take care of ourselves when playing gambling because all responsibility will come to ourselves and how good we manage our money in gambling.
Two modes with different use cases and you are right about free mode which is very helpful for gamblers to experience a new game, new feature. Not sure about max free plays in free mode because gamblers should not be allowed to play free mode as many times as they want. Wise people will learn something to win better after playing hundreds or thousands of times with free mode.

Barcelona will play Real Madrid in the semi-final of the Super Cup, at least that will be next week. To be honest, in this event I completely chose Madrid to win because for me Barcelona is still not strong enough to compete with Madrid right now.
Barcelona will be under Real Madrid in this pair but they have more reasons to fight for Super Cup. It won't bring too much income, reward if they win it but because they are facing a failed season, they will want to win any trophy which can make it looks less failed.

Apart from that indeed, Xavi still can't restore the team's form completely, but with Xavi being able to win away against Villarreal with a score of 1-3 and also, getting a 1-1 draw away against Sevilla I think it's good enough for Xavi. Remember, Xavi returned to Barcelona with a very big burden and Xavi was able to bring Barcelona back to the competition at the top line in the standings, at least with this achievement Xavi has good prospects going forward.
So far Xavi does good management and Barcelona have been improving their performance with Xavi. In long run, I don't imagine too much success from Xavi and Barcelona. I wish them to get a position which is high enough in La Liga in order to book a ticket to Champions League. It will be great success for Xavi. If he and Barcelona can do so, next 2 or 3 seasons, we might talk about trophies again.

I would say they may have tried it more than once, which means more than 10 dollars could be spent. Plus I am sure they made a profit but looking at how the casino could get like hundreds of people trying it, then we could say they may have even profited from it. Challenges are not really in favor of gamblers most of the time, one of them will profit while every other one will lose and that is why I never really liked it.
Promotions should be win-win situations for people. Casinos must get profit in return of promotions in order to keep promotions go long. Users must get benefit from promotions to stay with casinos.

Originally, users got gifts from casinos such as in redeem codes and they can enjoy bets from free money, free code. Then if they win, they will like the casino more. They might send invitation to others as well. It is how a cash flow works and how casino gets income from users, from promotions.
1569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 05, 2022, 05:56:43 PM
Inter are going to have another easy game next time. Their opponent is Bologna. They are not one of the biggest teams of the league but they seem to be capable of stealing at least one point from big teams. But at the same time, I remember their game against Juventus too. Even though it was a home game for Bologna, Juventus still defeated them by 2-0. When it comes to Inter, I think that they should be able to win even easier than Juventus.
No easy game in football. Players can have good and bad games. They can make fantastic moments or terrible mistakes and a whole team will get benefit or be punished by such moments.

Inter Milan are not in a position of a dominating club in Serie A. They can win many matches but not in a position which can bring fear to opponents before match kick-off. Such clubs can be Juventus seasons ago in Serie A, Barcelona with Messi Xavi Iniesta Busquet etc in their golden time, Bayern Munich in Bundesliga.

I am sorry to say Inter Milan will have to fight seriously and play carefully to win against Bologna.
1570  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitmex is sending a physical bitcoin to the moon in summer of 2022 on: January 05, 2022, 05:47:11 PM
It's good for Bitcoin publicity, and it's a symbolic act. It's also nice that they're leaving it there for anyone who can get to the Moon to collect it. However, it's not cost-effective at all. It'll cost at least dozens of millions of dollars to fulfil this trip, and Bitcoin's worth only around $50k. When we still have problems here, on Earth, I don't find it wise to make trips to the Moon only for such silly purposes. Also, it'll be in physical form there, which kind of defeats the whole point of Bitcoin because it's in its nature to be digital and people should get used to it.
BitMEX don't do it without strategic marketing plan. We can think that they do a non-sense thing but this activity will catch many attention from the crowd and BitMEX will attract many new users to their exchange.

It can be more effective than any traditional marketing effort and its noise will be huge. Such events don't occur too often. A space flight to the Moon which carries a physical Bitcoin. Hey it is an excellent idea but it seems Elon made it first last year with Dogecoin.
1571  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Andreas Antonopoulos says to stop using paper wallets, do you agree? on: January 05, 2022, 05:36:01 PM
I like the idea of paper wallets, and I don't think those who do know how to use them should forget about them, but because I have evolving needs, I now prefer hardware wallet too. I like o_e_l_e_o's way of putting it: threat model. We should use the methods suited to our threat models.
In another video, he answered when someone asked him what is a best wallet. He answered that the best wallet depends on each person and at different time. A good wallet today can be worse than others in future. I think his answer is solid. Paper wallet is good, hardware wallet is good and depends on each person, with different budget and knowledge to use it.

Bitcoin Q&A: How Do I Choose a Wallet?

But I also think that like most of his videos (if not all), his point is always for the newcomer. All things considered, it's dumber (easier) and more secure to not use paper wallets for the majority of people coming to Bitcoin new. Probably even for most long-timers.
I think it is main objectives of his Youtube channel.
1572  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Most private cryptocurrency on: January 04, 2022, 05:41:21 PM
I know there are cryptos that focus specifically on privacy like Monero, Zcash and others, so, when it comes to transactions anonymity and wallet exposure, what do you believe to be the best cryptocurrency in this field?
[Guide] Decent mixing methods is written by theymos. He recommended Bitcoin with Wasabi wallet and Monero.

Points are no mixing method is perfect and can 100% protect your anonymity. I read some posts by forum members and they discussed about a method by mixing between Bitcoin and privacy coins in and out exchanges or tumblers. I think the idea is good.

Assume you have Bitcoin, you can use Wasabi wallet and Tor, Coin Join transaction or tumblers, then you will use output after mixing as deposit to exchange and buy privacy coin. Then move a first privacy coin to another exchange and convert it to another privacy coin. Repeat it a few rounds.
1573  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Andreas Antonopoulos says to stop using paper wallets, do you agree? on: January 04, 2022, 05:29:12 PM
I do agree if we only have a wallet wrote on the paper and we don't have any other forms of the wallet, it will be risky.
Paper can be damaged by water, fire, acid and more things. Quality of print is important too. People can use alternatives like laminate, metal sheet, etc. to store private key. Whaterver method is, you should make sure it is safe enough against physical damages. I agree that paper is bad in this aspect.

The safest way to save the seed phrase is remembering the words, but it's hard if we have a lot of wallets and usually crypto investors have many wallets to seperate their investment.
Lots of things to remember so our memory has its limits. I don't believe that you can remember private keys or seeds if you don't think of it 1 or 2 months. In addition, what if you suddenly get some health issues that cause memory loss. It will be the end and you will lose your Bitcoin. No one can help you to recover your memory.

Other way i imagine, saving the phrase into a voice note and save it somewhere, if it tracked by the hackers it's quite hard to detect that if the audio files is the key.
It is a first time I know about this approach.

You are right, for now the casino is starting and it is facing a series of constructive criticisms that can be greatly improved, sometimes every beginning is very hard, but it is necessary to move forward so that in the near future it is among the best casinos
What can not kill you, will make you stronger.

We can not say anything about strategy, development, products on behalf of Owl games but it is how life challenge and award us. Web3 is a trend and Owl.games catch the trend. Days ago, Jack, a former CEO of Twitter said in the end, Web3 will belong to centralized entities again. His statement triggers lost of discussions and disagreement with him.

Let's see how Web3 and Owl.games will move.
1575  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Should you sell ethereum and btc to buy Solana/SOL? on: January 01, 2022, 05:03:07 PM
I will never sell ETH to buy Solana, I prefer to hold ETH over Solana, although at the moment Solana looks convincing but I am sure that ETH will skyrocket again soon and the opportunity to become the king of cryptocurrencies replaces bitcoin.
Solana is young and it is in phase of Ethereum a few years back. It is on hype but we need more years or at least the coming bear market after this bull run, to see how their developers will keep working for products, upgrades and how their ecosystem will maintain and grow up. Bad market will give really strong projects to shine. I hope Solana will be one of such projects next 2 to 3 years.

Holding ETH is not wrong and is still in a very good category for anyone, but if you expect ETH to become the king of cryptocurrencies and replace Bitcoin, it is a dream that will be very difficult to come true because when Bitcoin started to fall in the market, ETH was still experienced the same thing, meaning that ETH still often follows the cycle of Bitcoin conditions to date, so there is very little chance of becoming king in cryptocurrency.
ETH is one of best cryptocurrencies and if anyone ask me to pick a few cryptocurrencies which I consider as asset of storage, I will pick Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB first. Other altcoins will need years to become asset of storage like these three coins.

Solana, Polkadot are promising altcoins in last 2 years but they have to be tested more.
1576  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: TX Cost , fees and gas on: January 01, 2022, 04:57:24 PM
Talking about everything 2022 ,BTC tx price, ERC20 and BEP20 tokens.
10-20$ for 1 transactiion fee, even if sending 1$ .
Transaction fee will be calculated by transaction size and fee rate if you do bitcoin transaction or gas price rate if you do token transaction.

Transaction size of Bitcoin transaction will be depended on type of addresses from your inputs, outputs, transaction types
Transaction size on ERC20 chain will be depended on complexity of smart contract. The more complex it is, the higher transaction size will be.

A common thing is fee rate or gas price rate will be depended on current network conditions, clear or congested. It means whether you are running with fee race with others or not.

In general, transaction fee is only painful matter for people with small capital and are moving transactions with small value. Fee will consume large part of total value of small transaction.

I also doubt the intention was marketing but who knows? They are new and needs all the possible exposure they could get from different countries including the prohibited jurisdictions. They will most likely implement the restrictions later once they're satisfied with the site traffic and the number of players. I'm confident crypto casinos that we know to be big today started out like that as well.
Rules on restricted areas should be clear. Rules on KYC should be clear because it can be abused to pull KYC card later if users win big. It will be a scam if a company runs their casino with that approach. If they have rules for restricted areas, they should have mechanisms technically to detect new registered users from restricted places and reject such registration at beginning.

What you say is very logical, the number of casino scams is certainly a warning for us in choosing a new casino, I think right now Owl.games is still in the process of development and of course it still takes a lot of time to become the best casino site, and one of them is by doing promotions and marketing methods that are able to attract interest to play at owl.games, actually in my opinion, the most effective promotion and marketing in making a business grow is to improve the existing services to users and one of them is by maintaining the trust of the  users of that the site/business.
Any new company has to run advertisement and promotion sometime and at different level and budget. They can do it before their platform launch or do it after their platform launched and some products released. Depends on development and marketing strategy but marketing is unavoidable in a company growth process.

It is not correct to say all new companies that run advertisement or marketing are scam. It takes time for Owl.games to build up products and prove that their games are fair for users, and they don't cheat their users. It takes time for this casino to make its reputation. But please don't accuse they are scam for now, it is not true and is not a good welcome them to our forum.

Every match is important and PSG will not let the game be weakened instead PSG with its strong squad will continue to provide the best resistance with good goals, here I just want to see the celebration of Messi's beautiful goal because in league 1 Messi did not show his best goal.
PSG will want to make as far distance as possible against competitors in Ligue 1 in order to have more comfortable time and preparation when Champions League returns with knock-out phase. Messi has a worst season in last 10 years or even longer as I remembered. The season has passed almost half of it and Messi only has 1 goal in Ligue 1, that is unbelievable. This season can be another downward step for both Messi and Ronaldo. Their era is ending.

Quote
Let's say Lyon can't catch up to the top of the top flight but can still compete with others to win points back, not only that, Lyon also still needs points to move to the next table.
But indeed Lyon in the current season has become worse.
Lyon lost their important player, Memphis Depay to Barcelona. PSG have some problems to build good connection between old and new players but it seems so far with many star players, they manage to win enough matches. They did not have too many convincing wins but the most importance is how many matches they won in total. It's final result that affect the race to Ligue 1 title.

Lyon will likely lose this match if PSG play at their right ability.

Xavi and Laporta want Dembele to stay, he is a player who can help Barcelona's attack scheme but so far he has not shown maximum results. Dembele will get more playing time at Barcelona, ​​but he has so many injuries that it has been difficult for him to improve in recent seasons. But he is starting to show himself as an important player this season, he can stay.
I don't know why they both want to keep Dembele. He has never shown that he is a professional player and we all know unprofessional players never touch to their highest ability. We have Balotelli, Robinho, Adriano, etc. Their career can be broken because of their undisciplined traits and the career span of football players is too short. So if they lose a few years, it's too late for them to come back.

Years ago, Balotelli won Golden boy award but now none of us knows where he is playing and what he achieved in last few seasons.

Despite losing, Arsenal played well in this match and also despite Arsenal getting one red card, Manchester City still struggled to score and just happened in 90+. This is something extraordinary I think, Arsenal's next opponents have to be more careful especially in the first 45 minutes of the game. This has happened several times in previous matches this season and also, I'm always wary of that. About, when Arsenal can score early or at least score in the first 45 minutes, that lead can earn Arsenal 3 points but unfortunately, this time the opponent is Manchester City which I said before.
I agree with you. This match shows that Arsenal players are maturing a lot in this season. Manchester City did not easily to destroy Arsenal and if Arsenal did not lose their player because of red card, the ending can be different.

However, this result shows the importance of star players which are abundant in Manchester City. All players will have good and bad matches but because Manchester City have many stars so that in each match, one of their stars will shine and bring them to victory. This match would be a motivation for Arsenal to keep improving their strength and it will be a very happy ending but unexpected at season beginning, if they can finish in top 4 and be qualified for Champions League next season.

Next game Watford - Tottenham? Tottenham has been in a fine form recently, a win for them looks sure today.
I choose Tottenham because of same reason you said. They are fine and have good form recent matches. They will try to collect points and wait for other opponents lose points in this New year tournament. Watford seems to be not strong enough to constrain Tottenham.
