Both posters are only slightly accurate about faucets: yes, they will always be a waste of time in terms of current fiat value. At today's price, you'll find a good faucet will give you an average of 75 satoshis per claim. There is a list of largely outdated faucets at bct, but you will find the active ones at the micro earnings section.

On the other hand, there are some quite reasonable "faucets" that let you earn up to 10k satoshi per day for perhaps 2 minutes' work, look it up or PM me as I don't want to advertise!

I don't do faucets anymore, except one or two like the above every now and then. Worth "nothing" now but if you believe in the moon...

What I find on most sites is they charge a flat fee instead of telling you the actual cost per byte. I can understand that they can't predict automated hotwallet withdrawals that may choose to combine many inputs for withdrawals. My main beef (not that it's a very big one anyway) is how, after viewing the tx in explorer, the fee paid is half or so of what the sites deducted from you.

It doesn't vary very much between bitcoin sportsbooks. The ones I use all have a minimum bet of 0.001 - even the sites that allow for 0.0001, if you check the matches, very limited options for that bet size. If you're uncertain, you should always enquire support (these sites are also notoriously unclear about exact numbers as they don't always update ToC).

I used to think this was important to Bitcoin too... but I see now that Bitcoin doesn't seem to quite work the same as fiat currency like that. For example, the CHF might depreciate against USD but that won't dictate how it performs against EUR or GBP.

BTC, on the other hand, if it drops 10% against USD, will drop 10% against all currencies. So my guess is that BTC is somehow pegged to the dollar? Actually this might deserve its own question.

Just noticed the trolling on the reddit thread, though being reddit, this was to be expected 100% from people who've never really had the knowledge of or need to using mixers.

I wonder if one of those so-called tracking companies has tried tracking ChipMixer transactions?

There is one other scenario: the USD becomes somehow supremely more valuable than Bitcoin or any other currency. That is, Bitcoin value versus a basket of other major currencies continues to be "stable", but not against USD specifically.

As much as paper money is "in decline" in the developed world, it is still the "bitcoin" of currency in most other parts of the world where digital access is difficult.

It's definitely heading for extinction but hardly in our lifetime or even that of the next generation.

Hey guys, I haven't been around in poker or even chat for a while, but yes, real life, right?

Anyway, still happy to see it's alive and @ONM: the mods aren't staff. And Bit-exo is very much alive, just perhaps all its regulars are busy attending to real life. Just try to find a time where most players are on.

I'd really like to know how the US government plans to follow up their intention to "seize" cryptocurrency. Crack the private keys from their citizen's wallets? And how would they propose to utilise these seized assets? Exchange it for their USD?

Hi, I use Uber in Malaysia/UK/Netherlands. So that's 3 different currencies! I'd prefer the credit as opposed to the signup bonus but let me know what you're able to get and how to contact you. Thanks.

Just booked the Federer Under 21 Games bet, albeit with slightly lower wins (1.63)... but arrived an hour late to make a bet on the Swedish Div 1 game. Can't even find a live score feed for that one either!

Thanks for the tips, both.

Tip worked out well after all. No idea about Irish football but the 4-1 win was a good cushioned one after all for your -1 call. Can't wait for Sunday action if there happens to be any.

So... is there any secret place where developements are being discussed? I haven't got any emails nor seen any updates on their website. Great pity as this was a superb idea.

Unfortunately the only "security" you can hope for if engaging managed trading accounts is by using a service that is regulated... usually by the financial or banking institutions in your own country.

There are even managed trading services offered in this forum. Some give you full control of your account and they are only allowed to trade. Can't speak about their long term performance though.

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm beginning to feel ATH fatigue now. Maybe it's just moving too quickly and my earning just will never be quick enough to take advantage of temporary dips.

Contention on some phrases aside, which I believe is at least partially owing to language, this is a very healthy move if it is true (especially if the others are following suit). It's pretty rare for the pools from there to be vocal as this, so perhaps we will see more participation and opinion from now on. Could this be partly responsible for today's (inexplicable) rally?

But yes, start signalling support already!

Both poloniex and cex have this same risk-preventing system (some method of Proof of Solvency) - in fact, I would assume all platforms that offer margin trading have it, since it is firstly to protect themselves and the lenders, in the case of Polo.

With crypto markets extremely volatile, I would highly recommend a practice account on a forex platform first, using the same leverage, before ever trying out crypto.

Hi there, would your offer also work for non-US accounts like mine? I use Uber in bursts, something like every day for a week every 3 or 4 months. My last Uber frenzy cost me about $150 worth in my currency! So would be useful to have some credits if you sell them in another currency (credits don't expire, right?).

Yeah, I was just commenting on a separate thread on that Sachs report - guess I was hoping to see them fall flat on their face, but if any traders followed that instinct, they'd be already making a first solid gain now. Then again, it was apparently tough to buy any BTC during the 2100 tanking as major exchangers experienced outages.

Lasted mere hours rather than even a full day. That was the correction, except corrections tend not to be so brief!

It's back to touching 2,500 now. Don't you wish you had money to buy it all back when it bottomed?
