Note, Symantec is showing as detecting until a new update Smiley

What's sort of annoying is I removed most of these detections while my own antivirus isn't replying anything yet Cheesy Cheesy
My windows defender software is blocking the .exe file.
So when I want to start up my torcoin wallet is gets blocked and gives me an virus alert. When I click on ignore, it gives me an error and I need to shut down windows defender in order to just open my torcoin wallet. It is alot of effort to just open a wallet, mayby can u contact them too?

I also have Windows and for some reasons my torcoin wallet disappears every time after shutting down the computer. To make it work I have to extract all the files again from zip folder and only then it's working again. But I have never had any alerts from my windows defender.

total marketcap jumped from 74b to 87b in one day!! thats crazy Shocked Shocked

Yeah, that's crazy. Ripple is even up 6% in BTC in the last 24h, keep in mind that BTC is also rising like crazy compared to USD.

A friend of mine says XRP will be around $1 this year, and I say it will be $2. We'll see who was right.  Smiley

Or probably it will go back to where it was started and both of you are wrong  Grin.  


Yes, now I see that Ripple can go under $0.2 again. But why? Aren't big banks supporting it? I thought they want to make it "Bitcoin for Banks". I thought they see in it their chance to not lose to Bitcoin totally and that probably XRP indeed is their only chance.

Find a new hobby to replace gambling. Try working out, learning to code, video games or something like that. I wouldn't recommend gambling with play money, the best thing to do is do some new hobby whenever you feel the urge to gamble. Just keep it up and the urge will eventually go away.

It is so easy to say, but it is a very hard thing to do for those who are addicted in gambling. Changing their waysbon how they would earn money is too complicated for them. They just want to earn money in a very easy way, yet the way that they have choose is too risky but yeah, they could earn easy money on it if they are lucky gamblers.

Yes they don't have any option they must follow the expert's suggestion and stop gambling. If they do not stop gambling, then they will lose their personal life also. Don't need to do anything just think about your family members and your future then automatically you only decide and follow the expert's suggestions how to stop gambling. My suggestion is an addict any online mobile game this is the best way to stop gambling.

This might work for some people, but in general I think those are different types of addiction. You can't win real money playing a mobile game online and that's why it's not addictive for addicted gamblers but just boring. To give up gambling they should to stop thinking of it as a source of income in the first place.

Exactly. There is no money involved so there is no thrill for addicted gamblers. Gamblers wants the rush of getting a win especially if the bet is bigger. So I don't think that online mobile games will be effective as means of giving up your gambling habits s there are no money involved.

I think it will work, online mobile games like poker will be a good way to stop addiction. It will be really effective if the game that they are playing is their favorite. And as we all know, gambling addicts do not want to lose, and if they are teased in this game, they will be more focus to play this game. Yes, there might be no money involved, but there are still bets on the game, and it is really exciting to do that especially when the pot goes high.

Then why don't play free poker tournaments or dice with money from faucet? I thought we were talking about mobile games other than gambling and that's why I said those games are boring for gambling addicts.

Mooncoin was $0.000258 once at the very beginning, in January 2014. I think it has the potential to rise to that level again, but it's hard to imagine it will rise to $0.01 any time soon.
1805  Economy / Economics / Re: How to teach kids about Bitcoin? on: May 24, 2017, 01:57:37 PM
I think, it is not necessary to teach them about Bitcoin. Bitcoin is not s game. It's a serious issue. Kidds have to play game, to learn their lesson and to enjoy their childhood. So they should be kept away from Bitcoin.
I'd love to teach my kids but do they care about bitcoin? No, they just want to have fun and enjoy their childhood, I cannot even convince my niece who are already matured enough to learn how bitcoin works, how much more a kid. Maybe I will just wait for the right time, they might grow up and comprehend all this things.

I think both of you are right in general, but still it would be IMO if there were something like funny games teaching about blockchain, cryptography and such things. I would definitely buy those games for my kids (in the far far future when maybe I'll have them Smiley )
1806  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does experience matter in gambling? on: May 24, 2017, 01:32:32 PM
as I know experience is important in some gambling games such as poker, but how about the other games like dice game or roulette, do you gain any advantage from your experience, can you used your experience to win the game? or maybe because of your experience you know whether to bet low or high in dice gam

So Does Experience matter to you?

Yes, experience really matters to me. In gambling you can win or lose, but because you have experience , you can change things and wrong decision to beat again. I'm not saying that because of experience you will totally win,but it can help you to correct the wrong moves in the past.

Especially the ones when we thought there could be a winning strategy. I think every gambler had this experience at first, when you think you surely can beat the house edge with a right strategy. In that regard experience matters big time.

1808  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Dogecoin is a Crypto currency giant should be right next to Bitcoin & Ethereum on: May 24, 2017, 10:40:42 AM
Doge is the future. I trust doge. It will be 0.1$ soon Smiley
While doge is quite good and has it advantages - speedy transaction and very low fees. Calling it the future, it quite a stretch. For starters, its infinite supply is really a bad thing. People don't hold onto infinite. That's why they collect rare/special and collector's editions. Think it's the same with crypto. Limited supply increases the value of anything. Infinite just makes it commonplace. On the bright side, maybe the coin will get commonly adopted  Wink

US Dollar also has an infinite supply but it doesn't make it any cheaper. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogecoin approximately 5.256 billion new coins are mined per year, so it's not unlimited and since the demand for DOGE is rising so rising the price of one coin. This year for example the price of DOGE has risen from $0.0002 to $0.00388, which is almost 20 times.
1809  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-05-24]Bitcoin Will Hit $1 Million in 5-10 Years, Says PayPal Director on: May 24, 2017, 10:11:25 AM
If you want people to take you serious, then at least put some effort into making yourself not look like a clown. It's pointless to speculate about such insanely high prices while we haven't even been close to reaching the $10,000 level yet. If he would say that we would reach $10,000 within 10 years, I would strongly support his statement, but how can I do that with $1 million? Other than that, I do agree with his statement that people should allocate a certain percentage of their wealth to Bitcoin. People have been looking at the price reaching $1300, $1400, $1500, $1600, etc, and started thinking it was too late to invest - look where we stand right now, it's never too late!


I agree with you, $1 Million seems unrealistc, but $10k 5-10 years is quite possible.

But if we let us to indulge in fantasies for a while we can try to imagine what will happen if bitcoin will replace all the money in the world. There are roughly $75 trillion in the world right now. Since it is a very rough estimation say we have 20 million BTC.

75 trillion / 20 million = 3.75 million

So in that case 1 bitcoin will be worth of $3.75 million.

The Chinese crypto investors are becoming interested in TorCoin now .. check the recent spike in trading on the CryptoDao exchange :-)

The coinmarketcap is showing $7,243 in trade volume on CryptoDao in the last 24 hours. I registered there yesterday and now I'm deciding whether to sell TOR now or wait for the price to increase.
1811  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Perceptions about Bitcoin on: May 24, 2017, 08:41:50 AM
So a couple of days ago, in a bloggers group on facebook; a guy asked what is bitcoin? And I was quite amazed to see that many people start commenting and saying stay away for bitcoin, its black currency, under world currency, or dark web currency and stuff like that.
Obviously the people who were saying this didn't know about bitcoin and have probably heard the same from someone else, but this is the perception of many around us.
What can be done to change this? Make BTC more user friendly? More appealing to general public?

Personall I think we can't do much about that. There are different kinds of information about bitcoin, positive and negative, and people decide for themselves to which they want to listen. Times when bitcoin was getting mostly negative coverage in the meadia are over, so now it is up to an individual to what to believe.

I sold all my dogecoins for a profit at about 80 satoshi but I guess I should have held on to them a little longer.

Yep, you are right. DOGE is up 16% in BTC and almost same in USD in the last 24h. It's now at almost two times higher than when you sold yours. But you shouldn't blame yourself because: 1. this was unpredictable and 2. you've made a profit still.
1815  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: May 22, 2017, 10:38:27 AM
really?? giving in gambling is easy? Honestly I've only ever heard people say that, as far as I know many gamblers do not want to take giving in gambling because too many rules and surely you will face obstacles when you want to request a withdraw.

It is not easy , it is a very ahrd thing to do. I can only say that when people say that it is easy, that means the person is not heavily addicted yet so he can let go of it easily. When someone is heavily addicted like me than doing that kind of thing will be hard. The only way is to gamble for fun with small amount

I'm not addicted to gambling for now, but I heard that everyone becomes more or less addicted to it with time. And I think if I will be a gambling addict one day I'll use your advice. It's not like I see this for the first time, of course I've seen similar ideas many times on this forum, and as long as many gamblers say the same thing I think it makes sense to listen to it.
Listening on someones advice is really a worth thing and you are right its being mentioned already times on this forum but those advices will only applicable on person do have strong discipline and awareness to themselves but when the time that those people who give advice get addicted im sure they will surely have a hard time on applying those advices that he said to other people.
i think we are listening advises all the time from our elders, but i think the difficult is to apply, we just listen the advise from one ear and pass it out through the other ear, i think one of the most difficult job is to practically adopt and accept the advises, some time we we even know about some thing that is not good n our favour but still we keep on going and not even try to stop it, that is all  because that we are addicted and find it hard to stop it.

No doubt it's hard to stop it, this whole thread is dedicated to this problem, and we are trying to find a solution here. One option, for example, is treating gambling as an entertainment only.
Playing just for entertainment is not enough. As long as you can not control your emotions you will fall deeper. The key here is emotional control and know when to stop. Let's say you limit your money to play. If you can not control your emotions, you will still gamble despite being over the limit.


We are talking about different things. You don't have to control your emotions when playing for entertainment, you can be as much excited as you want and enjoy gambling to the full as long as you understand that you can't make money with gambling and thus you don't make plans to become rich with the help of gambling.

I think we should still be able to control ourselves, including in playing for entertainment. Because if we play as entertainment alone but we can not control emotions, if we are experiencing a successive defeat we can get carried away emotions, and the goal to play as entertainment would not be achieved.

You are right in that regard. Indeed if we get frustrated about losing, even though it wasn't our money but the money from faucet, we probably shouldn't gamble at all. But I think those are rare cases. Mostly people enjoy gambling if they don't lose their money to it.
1816  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Any future for Dogecoin? on: May 22, 2017, 09:31:20 AM
Doge have a huge ampunt of supply so expecting for it on big price in the future is kinda impossible. 1k satoshi is already big enough for doge to achieve but if you dream that it will match like ethereum or litecoin then you are definitely just dreaming.
But do not underestimate the market manipulators, some 2 to 3 weeks back dogecoin was trading below 20 satoshi and now trading around 78 satoshi. Anything may happen but I am sure it may come back to origin points too. So, dogecoins are good for trading and not for planning up for futures.

not much potential. relatively stable between 0.00000076 and 0.00000078.
In recent times, it went down up to 71 satoshi in few exchanges. But compared to many other established coins, doge stays stable.

Although DOGE is 0.0000008 right now I agree with you that it is relatively stable in BTC for the last month. What we can definitely say about DOGE is that it is not a dying coin, because the interest in it is still huge, it is listed on 300+ markets, and the trading volume is over $5 million on Poloniex alone.
I agree even though dogecoin is relatively stable at a price different from the bitcoin that rises dramatically, but the dogecoin enthusiasts are also very high

No. "Relatively stable in BTC" means it rises more or less like BTC as compared to USD. And sometimes it risies even more. In the last 24 hours, for example, DOGE has rised 49.19% as compared to USD and 44.58% as compared to BTC.
yes that is very right. i am also helpful that in future Etherium will also have good value, as after bitcoin people are giving more preference to Etherium, therefore its future is also looking good to me.

Ethereum rised 37% in the last 24 hrs, but DOGE is doing okay too with its 10%. I'm not saying Ethereum is bad, but DOGE is definitely not losing the ground, like some other coins nowadays.

Finally we can see one lottery winner post here. He told that he has won the 7th prize of lottery this week.
https://i.imgur.com/PtNFGSz.jpg

You can see his winning post there

Quote

I think one of the reasons we are not seeing more of this, is because the link in the email are not pointing to the exact area or thread where winners should post about their winnings. You have to remember these people has to register on a new forum and then have to find out where to write about their win and for some people this might be too much trouble. I would say that the email should be more specific to help people to do this. Give one link for registration and one link to a thread meant to report their winnings.

The fact that this user knew the exact thread to where he had to post about his win, is a bit suspicious. ^hmmmm^

This doesn't look suspicious to me. The guy who won in the lottery, tomos81, is a Senior member here, so I think he could figure it out where to post about his win.

Btw, I wasn't aware about that thread and now I can see a lot of interesting posts there. A guy won won $200 recently:

I just won $200 at FreeBitco.in!
