1881  Other / Meta / Re: Affiliate program as a signature ? on: May 24, 2020, 07:55:03 PM
Not sure where to post this but if my future service has an affiliate program this is ok to do a signature   campaign with in this forum right?
Signature campaigns put themselves affiliate link to track how many visitors from bitcointalk register on their website and what kind of activity they do (in most cases casinos do these kind of things along with bitly links). Also some signature campaigns let you to edit their signature and include your affiliate link while still getting paid and on another hand, there are some promotions in games and rounds where you put signature with your affiliate link and take part in their promotions.
OP I showed you a lot of examples, so don't worry.

Good job, seems your website is becoming popular and like that people take part in competitions and are becoming active.
Btw I have some ideas and think it will be good to implement but hard, yeah, I know.
What about to create blackjack rooms? Where people will be able to play 7 against 1 (dealer). There will be rooms with different min/max bets and with different promotions. Some of them may have sidebet options and some of them - not. It will be better to become as close to live casinos as possible. A lot of people already know advantages of provably fair system and I guess it will turn into advantage for your blackjack too.

Bitfury is the company that actively works on developing blockchain technologies. National Agency of Public Registry of Ministry of Justice, Georgia signed a new Memorandum of Understanding with Bitfury to implement blockchain technologies in this section and not only there.
So I guess it will be better to read similar articles, I'll link some of them:

4. https://medium.com/bitcoinblase/blockchain-application-land-register-georgia-and-sweden-leading-e7fa9800170c

There are some informations from napr about this but that's not in English language. Still I hope that provided information will help you.
1884  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Miners are happy, while we suffer? on: May 24, 2020, 02:19:22 PM
Roger Ver, Bitcoin has 40x higher value than your bitcoin cash. Even XPR has gained more trust among users than bitcoin cash.
Bitcoin.com isn't reliable source of informations, according to them miner's revenue has doubled but in reality bitmover showed you perfect example of what rewards miners get from one block vs from collected tx fees.
Right now tx fees are divided into three part:
1. Most transactions are sent with 1-12 satoshis per byte.
2. Then comes transactions with 132-150 satoshis per byte.
3. And finally seems there are some people willing to pay more than 253 satoshis per byte.

It's not an alarming news but I think everything will fade away soon and fees will return to normal but they may rise again when price goes higher.
Believe me, miners aren't happy with current situation. They want bitcoin's price to rise rather than mining fees cause it's more beneficial for them and for crypto community in overall.
1885  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it possible to live without banks? on: May 23, 2020, 11:59:18 PM
Lots of people don't use banks.
I hugely doubt...

I haven't had a bank account in years. I've only had a credit card for a few years now. Before that I went years with neither bank account nor credit card. I keep my savings secure in Bitcoin and earn all my revenues and make all my payments and purchases in cash.
If you own credit card, you are in touch with bank, right? Or do you mean xapo and similar wallets? If yes, then such services belongs to banks too at some point. I wrote very small info about functions of bank above: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5250394.msg54486394#msg54486394

Where I am now, waiting out the covid-19 scare in a remote village in the Mexican jungle, absolutely no one uses banks. No one has a bank account nor receives nor writes checks. In fact there are no banks nor ATMs.  The nearest bank is almost an hour's drive away. I now own 6 properties here, including 3 houses, and all were bought with cash, except my first one which was bought partially with Bitcoin.
It's not right to discuss only from personal visions and examples cause they are hugely different from others. If you aren't getting ill for example, doesn't mean that illness doesn't exist.
When you want to start a business and need some money, what to do? If you need loan but everyone around you is poor, what to do? What to do when you have a lot of money and there are some people who need it? What about if there is something that offers you additional interest on it while benefiting borrower and taking all these risks of loan repayments on their own? I guess that's not a bad deal. There are other things why banks are bad.

I don't know if there is something wrong with me but when I tried to open slots on bitdice, it shows following text: "Requests to the server have been blocked by an extension". I checked with different browsers and devices but same text again. Is there something wrong with IP location or does problem come from your side?
Idk how your slots but will be glad if you give us permission to play them without bitcoins or cryptocurrencies, to just play with some play money.
P.S your website works well but I remember, for ages, that left button on header that has to show us menu, doesn't work on smartphones.
1887  Economy / Economics / Re: Hedge Fund Manager Says Governments May Make Private Gold Ownership Illegal on: May 23, 2020, 10:37:10 PM
Why? Why to make such silly statement? In overall this guy and similar ones come here, some of them call themselves "economic experts" and we have still bad economics even when 'experts" take care of it. What kind of "experts" they are? Or am I the only one who can't perceive this word correctly?
Seems we will see Executive Order 6102 but V2.

How democratic is it when government tries to de-monetise something that I and millions of people own? They try to de-monetise things but not increase value of currencies. Good job!

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Grin
Governments banning private ownership of gold?OK,let's assume that this s*it happens.
The question is,who is going to find my gold,if I hide it somewhere? Grin The government?CIA?The police?
Most people are hoarding small amounts of gold,so hiding that gold would be really easy.
I don't even wanna write about the fact that governments confiscating private property is just communism.


Maybe if someone goes out with necklace, or bracelet, will be a victim and there will be a need of further tests to detect whether that thing contains gold or not.
1888  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel this pressure on physical gambling? on: May 23, 2020, 09:53:52 PM
In physical gambling (whether it's a big casino or just small gambling), do pressure on your opponents or playmates actually happen? Like for example, you only set a limited capital but since your friends still want to play, you will end up using all of your money. Or let's say in a casino, you have used all of your allotted money on gambling but since your opponent is winning and he wants to play more, do you exceed on your limit? Just because you don't want to look like you are afraid, that you don't have enough money already, and that you are losing?

Since I do online gambling, I don't feel this kind of pressure. I can stop whenever I want or when I have used all of my money. I don't feel embarrassed or what.





PS: I'm not sure if this topic already existed here and if there's I'm gonna delete this thread.
If you sey a limited capital but play with friends, doesn't matter whether in physical casino or on online casino, there will always be (possibly) pressure to break through this limit. Another actual pressures can happein in online casinos too, everything depends on your psychological conditions. When you think that you are playing to actual player, you may feel under pressure but when you know it's bot - you may not.
In overall, it's very individual task.
Psysical gambling and online gambling has much more differences than that one which includes chances of win (at some point it's really different), your skils usage may change in these situations (you can understand bleff of your opponent with mimics in real life but not online) and other things.
1889  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: HODLing is great but why not use Options to insure what you are HODLing? on: May 23, 2020, 08:08:33 PM
You could say the same with having a stop-loss order on an exchange.

But look. I somewhat get your point, but with some Bitcoiners here on Bitcointalk(or probably most?), we're not only here for the money. We're here for more than that, A LOT more than that. We believe in self sovereignty, and having total control over our money, which Bitcoin gives us hence why we hold them on non-custodial wallets and not on exchanges.

^And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Don't get me started into furiously ranting about governments and central banks.
Bitcoin turned into commercial business right now because businessman took their hands on it and when it happens, things get abused.
A lot of "bitcoin supporters" hodl bitcoin but is that right behavior? When you freeze money in your pocket in order to wait for futher price rise, when you stop circulation of money, I think that's not right. Holding only stops things from progress while circulation increases it's ability of massive spread. I know it may sounds hard to understand what I said but hope you understood what was the point there.
And my post isn't intended to start talking about central banks and etc, just about "bitcoin holders".
1890  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Signature campaigns and some discussion about seo on: May 23, 2020, 04:10:21 PM
Only owners of websites know answers to your questions. Probably even managers of campaigns don't know this information.

Without doubt, they know answer and are probably monitoring search engine rankings of their website but who knows, maybe some signature campaign managers are carrying this duty during campaign management and who knows, maybe some of them are willing to share this information with us?


~snip~

There is no way how signature campaign can move website into high place in Google search results.
I guess that's a typo?
Well managed signature campaigns raise brand awareness in bitcoin community, thus resulting in increased number of visitors on your website. Along with increased visitors from signature ads, your website's links are indexed with anchor texts on bitcointalk and this results in increased number of backlinks where some of them may be links with high URL ratings. Number of backlinks depends on how many participants you have in your campaign and how many posts they have.

With May 2020 Google update Backlink is no more important for ranking on Google search.

~snip~

Idk if I missed something but where did you get that info? I highly doubt backlinks aren't that important for ranking. Without page and url authorities google can't analyze content alone and do verdict whether this info is more relevant or not.
1891  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it possible to live without banks? on: May 23, 2020, 03:25:32 PM
With the world's economy collapsing, people are looking for alternative safe-haven assets to use in times of turmoil. Interest in crypto has sparked a lot ever since the stock market went on a decline. If people decide to use crypto, precious metals, and physical cash, will it be possible to live a normal life without a bank?

In my case, I'd be willing to exit the banking system in order to have true sovereignty over my money. After all, that's what crypto is all about. If you could live your normal life without the need to ever interact with a bank (having a bank account to make transactions, etc), it'll be a blast. With the world shifting towards the online realm for e-commerce, virtual meetings, and more, it seems likely that people will be using decentralized money more thoroughly. There are still people using credit/debit cards, but that may change soon as Fiat becomes hyper-inflated.

What are your thoughts? Huh
Everything is possible, we can live without banks but our quality of life will decline a lot.

First of all, what are banks and why are they important?
Banks are source of money where there is supply that collects money from those who have a lot (or more than enough and don't know where to store it safely) and forwards on those who have deficit of it. Banks take all responsibility and risks that this action carries while giving benefits to both side: profit to lender and necessary money to borrower. This is one of the most important fuction of banking and as a resule of this, a lot of services, projects and in overall business was created and developed further.
On another hand, modern banking has too much necessary functions than it had before. Nowadays we use cards provided by them to make transaction in stores, markets and etc. We are able to buy things online securely via our cards and more. We are moving from cash to fiat as time goes and all of these actions strenghten our connection with banks, in overall we depend on banks more than ever.

Btw at the same time banks are our enemies too. What banks do is maximizing of their profits and increasing loan percentages, charging a lot of fees and more. This in overall makes a lot of money to go from people to bank, making people poor but banks - rich institutes. I guess that's not good at all. Another bad thing is how they use our transactions for marketing purposes, not only them but walmart, google and other companies but this is different task.
1892  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin Creator Dead on Covid-19? on: May 22, 2020, 11:21:21 PM
How many people are leaving this Covid-19 every day, from the rich-poor to the Prime Minister and not being able to survive this disease, on the other hand we still do not know who is Bitcoin Creator, / satoshi nakmto! Is he still alive or dead? Do you think he died in this Covid-19? And if She/he die, what impact will Be on Bitcoin?  What do you Think
Did you know anything about his existance? Did anyone knew it (except 1-2 person, maybe...)? No, so he doesn't exist for us, he is just a Legend. So what doesn't exist can't have any impact on anything.
And according to your text, there is another subject fronted, Covid-19. How many people are leaving? Btw why aren't famous people dying because of this disease? Why most of them don't wear mask and don't keep much attention on social distance? Don't tell me that they are heroes. Maybe you'll blame me but what gives us a reason to say that statistics provided by them is correct? Do you know how much people die in a day in Italy for example? More than 1500 a day on average. Mostly people with age 70 and higher were dying and almost half of dead ones had three or even more health conditions. And in overall 99% had existing illness.  I don't think there was live statistics of daily death along with deaths caused by covid and etc. There are a lot of reasons why I don't share a lot of opinions about this virus and I'll write about it in near future.
1893  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin ever get past $10K? on: May 22, 2020, 09:56:10 PM
It's already been past halving, yet prices continue to fluctuate between the $9k to $9.5k range. I've noticed that each time prices try to reach $10k, everything "falls out" immediately. Is this a result of price manipulation by whales? At this pace, it's hard to believe that Bitcoin will ever get past $10k. Even if it does get past $10k, reaching a new ATH in price could be quite challenging.

Since it's been only a week after Bitcoin's third halving, anything could happen in the future. Right now, we're in a level of uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Maybe Bitcoin will be able to break out to new levels in price after all of this is over? Or will it continue to rise while Fiat goes down the drain? Whichever way Bitcoin goes forward in terms of price, many people will still support it. Fees are at an increasing rate, so we'll have to wait until everything goes back to normal (both in Bitcoin and the mainstream world) for prices to head all the way past $10k and beyond.

What are your thoughts? Do you think Bitcoin will ever get past $10k? Huh
I guess bitcoin still did an amazing job when it's price didn't fall during Covid pandemic. Bitcoin proved again that it's better than fiat currencies, especially in situations when we really need currencies' stable or growing value and not rapidly falling one.
I don't think we need to wait until everything goes back to normal because that won't happen soon and we will need some years to recover from upcoming higher economic crisis. If you mean relaxing of restriction in "going back to normal", then that will happen soon.
There wasn't any significant price rise for a while during last halving that occured in July of 2016. So I feel positive at the moment.
To sum up, bitcoin didn't fall during pandemic and keeps stable price after halving, right now I think bitcoin is doing very well and to be fair surpassed my expectations.

Some time has passed and there feels great progress around Bitsler. They are wagering more than 50 000$ a week right now, additionally free hourly lottery bonuses and free BTSLR wagering contests. I was always asking Baryom for more games and recently they added Twist and Fruitsler Slots. That's very nice and seems Bitsler has good progress and is going well on it's way.

1895  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you keep track of your gambling? how? on: May 17, 2020, 11:56:42 PM
Keeping track of your gambling money may give you advantage to have a close look at your profit & loss
Is it really important to know how much the profits and losses? I doubt you can smile after knowing them since I bet most people indeed will have more losses than profits in gambling. This way only hurts us and makes you more stressful during playing gambling. Also, I am afraid that you can't enjoy playing gambling if you are too serious considering profits or loss in each game. It isn't trading, bro!
I think it will just stress me if I saw those losses and besides some of the gamblers are playing gambling because they want to be entertained and want to feel the excitement that involves money.

So definitely, tracking your win and losses is nonsense, if you lose, forget about it and think a way to recover that loss. Maybe it's advantage is to have the discipline to yourself and you can foresee if there's no good path in the gambling so you will know when to quit.
In any way money tracking doesn't need special calculation here i.e. you knew you got 600$ last week and now you have 200$. You bought some cigarette and snacks during the weekend, where the money went? You know "potential destination".
Also it's a very bad advice to suggest gambler to think about ways to recover his/her loses if you don't concrete what ways you mean because there is very high chance this person will try to get back from loses by playing again, which in turn cause more loses and as a result, we get undesirable effect. But of course, suggesting to find a job (if he doesn't own) or setting the limit on the money that he has to spend on gambling would be wiser advice.
1896  Economy / Speculation / Re: All Time High:: 2020 or 2021 ? on: May 17, 2020, 11:31:30 PM
Halving is over but now everyone is waiting to see bitcoin go to All time high again. Many people say that it may touch a lot earlier to its ATH and we may not need to wait for December 2021.
So do you think that bitcoin will touch ATH in 2020 ?
Right now we can't feel the economic damage on it's max that coronavirus has done on global economy, so I wouldn't predict anything with confidence right now. If situation was like in past, then possibly we would sudden increase in price and all-time high before winter because the previous halving was a pure example and demonstration of what kind of positive impact halving can have on bitcoin's price but right now it's a thing of debate. If we look at bitcoin's current situation, it's going far better than expected but will this continue for a long time? That's hard to say, right now there is 50/50 chance on it. If price rise happens, without doubt it won't be right now but possible in winter. On another hand, if economic situation goes worse, then idk.
1897  Economy / Economics / Re: MENTAL HEALTH ANG WELLBEING on: May 17, 2020, 11:18:01 PM
If we consider the fact that America puts a lot of people on Antidepressants and artificial drugs that change neuronal architecture and connectivity of brain, then I guess mental health among people will go down in the USA. Even Trump stated that during this lockdown suicide hotline was exploded. Pharma is a business so America will "take care" of their mental health temporarily but in overall, in this case situation will go worse on a long term.
There were a lot of wrong actions taken during this worldwide lockdown. A lot of risks were ignored and mental health is one of them. It's especially hard for those who were left alone during this pandemic because of their lifestyle and also for those who lost jobs that were earning basic needs for their livings. Also in some countries banks still kept and even grew percentage on loans and again, in some countries problem loans weren't even postponed.

We must sacrifice all our comforts to adhere on the the protocols because our survival depends on each other.
First of all corona virus wasn't as deadly as they were saying. All they were doing was playing with statistics and blame me but I don't fully believe that every statistic provided by them was 100% accurate. Also we have to consider ages of dead ones when we review given statistics and we have to have full list of how many people dead with and without corona. For example in Italy more than 600K people dead in 2019 that means on average 1700 people were dying daily. Some people on this planet think that only 2-3 person dies in Europe daily, so... Even number daily death 400 sounds like a disaster for them. Also we have to keep in mind that 99% of those who dead had another illness, most of them - chronic one.
So our survival doesn't depend on each other and believe me, there won't be any virus or etc thing that will cause the extinction of human race.
1898  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: One of the Best Weapons in Trading on: May 17, 2020, 10:22:08 PM
Knowledge is the power, in everything. Trading isn't just A+b=C and done, it's solved whether the price will go up or down, NO! At the same time trading is an informational war between persons cause those who know what happened recently have a higher chance in it, you have to analyze information on a higher level, determine what specific news happened for example around currencies you trade and this includes every kind of news: related to exchanges, related to market cap, related to specific persons, etc. Every step has an impact on everything. But... At the same time, luck is beneficial and even a mistake can be a lucky step, believe me.

Yes, some traders will always gambler with their money in order to make huge profits.
There is a difference between betting on prices and buying/selling assets. The second one is spot trading and that is less likely to be a gamble if you do your research first. The futures and options market are more of a gamble, though analysis helps.
Trading isn't gambling alone and gambling isn't a synonym of making risks. Without risk, there is no reward. Gambling is pure luck except for some games. Everything has risks but not all of them are connected with gambling. Don't use these sentences wrongly.

Elon Musk is one of the guys we follow and recently he started speaking about Bitcoin (Cryptocurrency) and recently he Told in a tweet How much Bitcoins he actually Holds
Can You Guess That How much this Billionaire Guy Hold Bitcoin

He Revealed that he Hold only 0.25 BTC Worth Upto 2000+ Dollars
Source: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1261429085999296512?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdecrypt.co%2F29053%2Felon-musk-reveals-how-much-bitcoin-he-owns

Also CZ Binance Reply ELON

Do you guys realy think a 40$ Billion Networth Guy Hold only 0.25BTC?

Elon Musk's main subject is Tesla and Spacex so I guess bitcoin isn't his business, right? Still this doesn't mean he wouldn't invest in it but 0.25? He says such numbers to gain attention of people cause they'll say: Oh such a rich guy and holds only 0.25 btc? Can you imagine? My neighbour holds more than Elon Musk and blablabla...
Personally I think that he owns much more, he is a type of a person who craves technological progress and probably he would save some of his fortune in Bitcoin because this way you are a little bit on another level in management of money (banks can't touch you and you are fully responsible of your keys). Btw I won't be even surprised if he offers bitcoin hardware wallets or will implement something similar in Tesla. Then he will be real supporter of it.
