1681  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are you doing with your alt bags on: December 25, 2022, 08:32:51 AM
maybe this current moment is the right time for you in rethinking twice whether your alts bags is already good enough because honestly, there's nothing much you can do in the middle of bearish, but it's quite good time for migrating over some of your investments into the other since some of coins might sink in term of value worst than the other but they could have better potential in the long run, other than that there's no choice but just to hold the alt bags.

Some alts will drop more, and some will get back up. I agree that Bitcoin was and is the best long-term investment, but some alts are here to stay, and I believe some of them will reach their previous prices and set up new records.

If you trust your choices from before now it's a good time for holding and adding more favorite coins to your bags, with a discount. I guess we all wait for the next bullish year, and that year will come... we just one to stay strong.

Does completing bonus is still possible and profitable or it's just like chasing the wind?

Depends on the bonus type I guess, there are different types of bonuses. But in the end, it's like chasing a wind, if you get lucky (with some big wins) you will catch a nice wind that can take you high, and if you are not so lucky (wich happens more often in gambling) you will just lose.

...
From my experience, it usually isn't worth it, but there can be some extreme cases. You have to do the math every time and keep having fun playing instead of chasing wins, points, ranks and bonuses. They're there to keep you occupied and introduce new inputs that make you lose focus. With how much you've spent I'm pretty sure you weren't thinking about that bonus when you were doing it Wink

But we are playing for wins, points, ranks, higher levels, and bonus drops of any kind. All that makes playing even more interesting. Of course, winning something more doesn't happen to everyone, it's why most of the time bonuses don't worth the money we spent, but it's gambling...

So yeah, don't see how I can ever do another poker session. 2 hours of football is the best I can do, while cooking/looking after someone.

Should do a poker tourney where we bet on the players Wink

Our poker sessions lasted 2 to 3 hours max. There wasn't betting on players, but we had bounties and special prizes. I guess anyone could suggest anything (and there were a lot of suggestions), but in the end, each of us had a vote will be something added or not.

The number 51 and 73 is just the same user and that's me, maybe on another tournament I used another username. This is a curated list and likely a time consuming one and kudos to you @famosoMuertos for that, you've done it well. If a new series comes I think it's a good time to forget the crypto winter and past the time for the holiday season.

I am Iv4n and BlagiUzas... first is my username on SwC, and second on Betnomi. Probably it's the same with you, and for sure there are more overlaps... it's not like it's important, but it definitely reduces the number of active players, I just doubt that we have +70 poker players here on the forum.

hey all,

I am looking for a casino but with all the casinos out there, it is difficult to really keep track. The reviews help a lot, but I am looking for some recommendations of some new casinos. I like casinos that payout a dividend, a low minimun deposit and payout and nice bonuses.

Maybe you will like BTCGosu Neodice Casino Review, and it comes with:
Quote
Neodice is a brand-new dice crypto casino featuring excellent free faucets as well as great user features as well as an exclusive $9 No Deposit Bonus for GOSU players.

Simple dice site, and there's a faucet (3 types, 1 hourly and 2 every 24h). Definitely unique interface, but there is still much that is missing, compared with other places where we can play dice games. But in the end, I agree with the review, we need to give this site some time to develop... for now it's a simple dice platform with a faucet, but I think they will not stop on that.
1685  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How can CEX's prove their solvency? on: December 23, 2022, 05:46:05 PM
I guess The Big 4 would do the work. It's how CEX can prove they have what they say they have...

Quote
“Mazars has paused its activity relating to the provision of Proof of Reserves Reports* for entities in the cryptocurrency sector due to concerns regarding the way these reports are understood by the public,”

CZ wrote something similar, how accounting firms don't understand crypto, but Coinbase did it, so whats the problem?

Quote
CZ, however, replied that those accounting firms don’t work with or understand crypto exchanges (Coinbase literally just received an attestation report from Deloitte), so that is why it has not been audited by one of them.

To avoid such scams with the FTX exchange, you need to prohibit the exchange from managing client deposits. For this violation 1,000,000 life sentences. I used to be an anarchist too, but today everyone understands that cryptocurrency exchanges should be under the control of regulators.

They don't need to be under the control of regulators, but for sure they need to have some proof of reserves. SBF used the client's deposits for his own projects (reserves were in FTT) and with the collapse of FTT he literally ended up with nothing.

Just noticed your post.  And seeing all those poker sites you googled, I gotta ask, how's the traffic and the game selection in each and one of them?  Does it have at least 10 full 6 max tables running in the microstakes and midstakes?  That's pretty bad traffic imho but that's the minimum a poker site should be running.

If it were up to me, go to Poker Scout.  Check the sites with most traffic and check which whens accept crypto as a deposit and withdrawal option.

https://www.pokerscout.com/

Most sites not included in the top 20 prolly isn't worth the look.  Could be wrong.  Maybe in the micros it's worth it, but as you climb up in stakes, traffic becomes thin.

Chipstars have 0 players... BC.Game doesn't have poker. It's been a long time since the last time I visited Nitrogen, FortuneJack, and Coinpoker... there wasn't much action before, so I doubt that something has changed.

GG and PokerStars are way ahead of the others:



Bitcoin withdrawals are free, which is a nice thing, and there are some deposit bonuses... I think I will try them in the next few days.
1687  Economy / Economics / Re: What is your biggest obstacle to achieving financial freedom ? on: December 23, 2022, 08:02:51 AM
Financial freedom can mean different things to different people. Not everyone has priorities in money, although money is an integral part of our lives...

Whatever you want to do, whatever your priorities are, you will need money to make it happen. Today, nothing starts without money, everywhere you turn you have to pay something... So the logical conclusion is that obstacle to achieving financial freedom is "not having enough money". And how to get more money is a question that bothers many of us, I guess there is no universal answer to that, each of us is in a unique situation.

At the moment my obstacle is not having enough free time. With two little kids, I can't focus on finding additional sources of income...with this inflation and food prices, it's hard to keep up with the same income as I had before. And I have little kids, as they grow we will need more and more money. So I will either find a way to make more money or it will be very hard for us.

All this for $198 (minus the amount he spent)? After making a decision to take all this to another level by bringing friends (thugs) all of them should be arrested for that, money won/lost lose meaning, all of them will face higher penalties and probably jail time.

He could try to call the police or look for some lawyers, but to bring friends to a fight is something different, it should be a last resort... and consequences are almost always worse than the initial loss. Now all of them are in greater problem than the sum in question for sure...

Violence shouldn't be the answer, as I said, it's something like the last thing to do if you are really out of options... I think these guys involved now have a bigger problem just because they're "hotheads"! So the bottom line should be simple, in case you get into some problem try to keep it cool, think about your options, and look for advice before you take some serious actions.

I thought the phone number verification is simple by filling our phone number only but in fact we need to fill more information (personal information) such as first/last name, gender, country, birth of date etc.
Yep, we need to submit the level 1 KYC details in order to use the services of Booi casino. We aren't allowed to verify the phone number only without filling all data of level 1 KYC. Roobet (your signature casino) has almost similar requirements.

When they made KYC mandatory (Roobet) I stopped playing there. There are simply too many good (if not better) alternatives... for example:

Chipstars has a promotion again, this time 100 free spins but at $0.25, for deposits over $125, without wagering requirements. No KYC level 1 or two, and probably the most important without strings attached. And I like it because I can play some providers (Pragmatic most of all) without using VPN...

When we are talking about promotions I think I should mention Metaspins:

Interesting reading: With Binance, Everything Is Not Fine

Like Genevieve, I am not sure that everything is fine with Binance. This fiasco with FTX and FTT can backfire on Binance:
Quote
You see, in the eyes of the bankruptcy proceedings, transactions made by FTX to outside entities (like the $2.1 billion payment to Binance) may be considered fraudulent conveyances.

And there's that thing about the "proof of reserves", it's a bit shady what happened:

Quote
And remember when Binance released proof of reserves last month to calm the market in the fresh wake of FTX’s collapse?
It turns out the accounting firm that was assisting with that, Mazars Group, quite literally pulled the plug on the endeavor, effectively terminating the partnership by deleting the website containing the exchange’s proof of liabilities (or lack thereof, as it were).
I guess they could choose some other accounting firm... we can wonder why are they running away from that.

Quote
This is a classic scenario for crypto exchanges, everything is fine … until it’s not.
If the stablecoins in Binance’s reserves hold to their peg, everything will be fine.
If it can provide true proof of reserves, everything will be fine.
If there’s no run on the bank, everything will be fine.
If it can deliver fully audited financials, everything will be fine.
If the U.S. Department of Justice decides not to strike with criminal charges (something we didn’t even get to in this essay), everything will be fine.
For each day that passes without specific and verifiable evidence to address all its issues, these “ifs” grow bigger for Binance.

Genevieve presented some nice arguments, and I can't say I don't agree with her. Don't get me wrong, I am using BNB and I like it but not everything is clear, FTX downfall raised some questions. I guess it's far from over, we can expect some turbulent days in crypto.

Hi, is there anyone having problem with freebitco.in e-mail confirmations for address change or withdrawing ?
I haven't received any mail for days.

Thanks.

When it comes to withdrawals I had an issue a month or two ago, I didn't get a confirmation e-mail... In the end, I just had to wait an hour or something like that, the withdrawal request gets canceled and you repeat the process. Everything worked fine on the second try.

I am approaching the 100k RP, currently at 88,000 points and I will probably not be able to approach the 100k by the end of this year, but I will be close to it. Before the premium membership was launched (and the WOF), I would never be able to reach 100k RP as I don't have any referrals, only bet low amounts on the sportsbook and never play the Hi-Lo game.

You are right, with premium membership and free daily spins it's a lot easier to reach 100k RP. I'm around 30k at the moment (almost two months from the last time I exchanged them) from daily spins, playing and using some part of the free spins... I think when I decide to spin all free spins at one moment I will get there, in a few months probably...

1692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Using Bonus Buy or Not Using Bonus Buy? on: December 21, 2022, 09:12:27 AM
Many of the Slots have "scripted" Bonus buys.. like "Money Train" ... because you can basically predict what it is going to pay out. (Normally 50% of what you paid for it) ..... but others like "Wanted Dead or a Wild" are very volatile.. and can pay out `maximum` every other day.  Roll Eyes

If you want to see what the different Slots are doing with Bonus buys... just watch the big streamers... and count how many bonus buys they need to buy, before it pays out.  Tongue


Last night I was buying bonuses, from +5 bonus buys only one was x103... others were under x10, and one was around x40-50. Of course, my balance melted and I decided to stop playing. So I guess it doesn't have to pay off at all, regardless of the number of bonus buys, if there is no luck, the balance will simply melt and that's it.

Hacksaw is crazy, I guess they can pay out "max win" every other day, but you can't imagine how many "under x5" I got from buying bonuses for this game. And I tried "medium, hard, and high" volatility buys. It's a pretty dumb feeling when you buy "Deads Man Hand", where profit comes only if it's over x400, and you get x10 or x20...

SwC Poker is okay, I'm playing there form time to time. There are not many players there for some reason, but the site is working perfectly, and there's always at least several people at cash tables ... I personally like the site. Also, several months ago I withdrew around $1k from the site without any delays.

Betnomi  is a great site for poker too. There are times when hundreds of people playing there at once. And they run lots of GTD tournaments and free rolls every day.

They still owe me two hats. I think I still have some tickets for those big tournaments we got from bitcointalk private series... with kids and family that game was too late for me anyway, but I tried to play it a few times and each time it was canceled, not enough registered players.

I guess we can discuss "several players at cash tables", as you know there were some accusations about collusion and bots in their ANN thread. They didn't bother much to respond... I can't say that I had any issues with SWC, but somehow that place "lost spirit" (players) at one moment, and I just moved away. Maybe I will check them as well, but I am not completely sure about that.

...
...
I played in few crypto poker sites but unfortunately, the traffic is not really good in crypto poker sites compared to fiat, this is why I do not really follow the trend of crypto poker.
However, for now I think there is no other good choice except swc and betnomi, I cant find any other crypto poker sites with better traffic than these 2 sites although I do not think that swc and betnomi has decent traffic.


Crypto poker places are miles away from fiat poker places.

As I wrote, looks like Icopress and Cygan are preparing something for poker players, we will see how many interested players there will be. Smiley Many people here talk about poker, but when it comes to playing we don't see a lot of action...

Hi everyone,

It's been a while since I played poker with crypto, back then I used betcoin.ag but they closed their poker rooms.
Does anyone know a trustworthy place to play poker with crypto ?

Thanks


Believe it or not, I wanted to open the same topic these days... I'm wondering what is the best place for crypto poker, the most popular one, with a lot of players, good tournaments, and people actually sitting on cash tables, not bots.

Just recently I opened Betnomi poker, and they have some nice tournaments, I even started one... but I didn't check their cash tables. There's a talk about the Betnomi poker series: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5279745.msg61433779#msg61433779... So I will probably play there for a while before I decide to check some "old names" I know. But I don't expect to see much on SwC, CoinPoker, Nitrogen, and some others... I guess those are dead places by now, or with some minimum traffic. I tried a few new casinos that offer poker, but without players at all.

Anyway, I would like to see some suggestions as well...

The Binance blockchain is also created on the Ethereum platform. It's just that he has a different network, and nothing more. But it is also created within the framework of the Ethereum platform.

Yes, it's how Binance started, but:

Quote
Binance Coin was originally issued as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. In 2019, Binance launched its Binance Chain blockchain, now known as BNB Beacon Chain. The BEP-2 BNB coin was introduced as this chain's native token, and users of the old ERC-20–compliant BNB token swapped it for the new token at a 1:1 ratio.

Seems like free ride for the marketing guys. Just stick a bitcoin name into your crypto related website and boom, you are all set to gain huge exposure over the internet. Specifically crypto users will start jumping into the website at least out of curiosity and to see what it is exactly and what’s the offering from them.

Just like the way we are talking about it right now. Imaging if that project had another name then who would have published it here and who would have been arguing about it ? No one!

But we are talking about it because that is kind of marketing strategy mate.

I don't think it's a marketing strategy, it's simply a choice they made regarding the development of their native token. As I could see they just started with this, maybe one day they will create their own, but for now it's easier (and probably a lot cheaper) to do it on Ethereum chain.

Quote

1696  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: When devs don't even know what they are doing on: December 19, 2022, 05:06:02 PM
Token development on Ethereum is much simpler. I think they have their own reasons why they chose to create their tokens on the Ethereum network. But we all know the many advantages of Ethereum which is even now the second top crypto coin because of its excellent growth.

Bitcoin.com is an exchange, they had some nice trading competitions in the past, but I don't remember they had their own token, maybe that came later. In the end, I agree with you, they probably had their own reasons to create their token on the Ethereum network, but they are not the only ones... KuCoin Shares is an Ethereum token issued by KuCoin, and I am sure there are other examples as well.

Well, not all exchanges are like Binance... with their own ecosystem.

Guys, come on!!

Sometimes I play daily in Bc.game not in the last month, but it is a jaw/faucet like any other, its probabilities are assigned, there is no PF.

I have received prizes without conditions and also BCD, but the important thing!  I am not in a casino to receive free things, but if they arrive well.
But if you are excited to win free things, it is easy to spin, spin... and let us know when your grand prize comes out without betting $1.

By the way Argentina champion!!

I bet Argentina to win, but realised 1x2 its only to 90 mins and not the full game. At 90 minutes its a draw of 2-2. So I lost still. Anyway, congrats Messi Argentina!

That draw in the regular time seemed like a good bet, it's why I chose a lower but "safer" bet:


Famosos is right, we should play for fun, and it's not like we should expect to get some big prizes without placing any bets... if some coins drop and find their way to us it's nice, but nothing more than that.

By the way, I guess we all got some lottery tickets:

So if a person with low level, he can not win nice prizes on the wheel?

I hope Bc.game's operator can explain the fairness of Lucky spin! Are the results really random? Is there a provably fair like other games?

I didn't say that. Even persons would a low vip level can win a nice prize on the wheel but if you have a higher vip level, the prizes on the wheel are a lot higher! Since the new version, I have only won locked BCD, but before I won a couple of times 50 DOGE, 1 XLM, ...

I also can vouch that with the new version something in method of assigning wheel reward has definitely changed : I have a very low level there and now I always only get  locked 0.01 BCD meanwhile in the past I was getting everyday a random differnt prize.

The problem is "that low level"! As Babygun wrote in previous posts "wheel prize depends on your wagering", and I confirmed that with my experience. With wagering, we are getting more chances to win higher prizes on the wheel... When I am active I get some coins from the wheel, when I am not active I get locked BCD's, 0.05. But as I wrote, from my knowledge guys who spin "Mega Wheel" are getting nice daily prizes.

Like in every other casino, it's all about the wagering.

Both of them will do everything to reach third place, so it's difficult to predict who will win here. Croatia is the favorite, and they have already reached the top of the championship several times, but Morocco really shined this time and after everything they showed, maybe they deserve to win and go down in history as the first African team to reach such high level.
Usually, the matches for third place in the world championships bring us a lot of goals, considering that both teams will do their best to win, I think we will see goals on both sides. I decided to try both teams to score & over 2.5. I expect an open game and early goals...



Good luck all!

My opinion is different.
Both teams have a very good defense so I don't expect many goals in the match.
I think it is a very realistic scenario that the match ends without goals, 0:0 and that in the end penalties decide the winner.
I will bet on this option.
It looks like both teams will play without several important players due to injuries, and it remains to be seen how this will affect their game.
Maybe Croatia is a slight favorite because of experience.

As you can see my prediction was accurate this time. I expected an early goal, but I didn't expect all 3 goals in the first half, to be honest... After that start, I thought we will see more goals in the second half, but that didn't happen, too many missed chances.

It's gambling, and one of the reasons for so many markets for each game is that people have different opinions. But in the end, sometimes we have a good hit, and sometimes we are make a wrong bet.
