Do I hear the troll again, with his name-calling, gaslighting, and disinformation? Is he again putting words in my mouth, claiming that this is "what you're saying" and call you ignorant? Haha.

Plus it's been debated many many times before Segwit, and? The big blockers/Roger Ver-lovers like the troll LOST. The troll will say this, he will say that, everything going in circles.

Newbies, if you want to learn, listen to the troll, then read this blog, https://medium.com/hackernoon/moores-observation-35f7b25e5773

I see a lot of recent discussion about why wagers aren't happening anymore and I do agree it's mainly because of new requirements and of lowered bonus amounts, etc.

But I stick to my past words as an old player at many different casinos, including here Smiley

It's mainly because of the lack of transparency and communication. Don't take it the wrong way, I still love you guys, but you CAN change the rules, you CAN change things, but you have to inform everyone properly and clearly.

When people are confused about wagering requirements, when people have to find things out by hearing what admin said in chat, when people have to guess what happened to bonuses or rewards, or whatever even, when people are coming to this thread and now sure what's going on, then those are things to fix firstly and foremost.

I really wish you guys well, I logged in and saw the new site, but it's still lacking in a proper explanation on the front page of how things work. I would also highly recommend you update the Investment option to clarify a lot of things. It says it will not be part of casino pool, so it is totally "protected from any kind of danger". How is that possible? In all my years, there is no such thing as risk free Smiley


Coin_trader was right. The wagering requirements of x20, or is it x40, the amount of the bonus is indeed VERY hard for small players like me, and what's the point of winning a big bonus from free spins in Dig Dig Digger if we cannot reach the wagering requirements?

I have a bonus of 1.79 mBTC that I may never clear. That bonus would have been mine before the changes. Can the admins give that away to the active users of the chat box?

This is what I'm trying to point out before because it's very hard for a normal user to extend the bank roll just to clear the minimal bonus. I believe you can still clear it little by little by playing casually blackjack since it's the lowest house edge you can get if you play it by the book without any unnecessary decision making. It might take you months if you will play slow and safely but atleast you can still get your bonus overtime. Just think of it like a rakeback or some sort of cashback on your bets.

There still a chance that you can still receive it once they revert back the bonus system since you get it before the bonus was implemented. Try to use the new live support to raise your request.


When I disagreed with you, I actually thought that I wouldn't be encouraged, nor discouraged by the bonus' wagering requirement. But knowing the fact that the bonus is there waiting for me, I tried to play more than my usual time and lost more than my allocated daily budget, and it was more than the bonus. I lost in Craps, then I frustratingly played Dig Dig Digger auto-bets, then left the computer. Cool

It's probably better for me to have the bonus removed, and I have absolutely no bonus than have something waiting that will never be yours. I'll probably play again next week. Hahaha.

Running a full node would have been so easy and a common thing to fo if it had jot been technically and capital intensive, in fact all of us would have been running a full node but we consider those that has a higher value of bitcoin and those that does not mind the cost to be running it at most, but you will need a high speed internet connection, steady power supply, data, storage and the technical acquisitions of connecting the blockchain network entirely, all this are the challenges that makes only but few people to be running a full node but you can also achieve something similar to that without downloading the entire blockchain, just get a hardware wallet or install a cold storage.


It should be mentioned that that's already with design decisions made by the Core developers to preserve anti-fragility, decentralization, and keep hardware requirements as low as possible, while taking the trade-off of accepting moderately larger blocks through Segwit upgrade. Other networks gave them up because they want "speed" now, without care and without a long term vision.
1925  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: November 16, 2022, 08:28:05 AM
It seems to me that we do not necessarily need to devolve into such meaningless (and vacuous) statements such as 1 BTC = 1 BTC in order to attempt to figure out that BTC is the soundest of money that we should be attempting to accumulate.. and at the same time, the dollar is likely to remain quite dominant as a very widely liquid currency for many years to come - but still even having a parallel dollar system and a bitcoin system, hardly seems to justify that any of us should feel that we need to completely remove ourselves from the dollar system, because a lot of goods and services continue to be priced in dollars and will likely continue to be priced in dollars for many years to come - even though BTC is also likely to continue to gain a lot of value relative to the dollar as it already has historically - even though in shorter-term periods, BTC is almost certain to be inevitably volatile against the dollar... though with ongoing longer term likelihoods that the volatility will be towards the upside for bitcoin.

The thing that is still difficult to get rid of at this point is to remove to value every good and service in dollars. Because that is still very much done by everyone in this world (including those who are not familiar with Bitcoin), and I personally also often value things in dollars so that the people I talk to can understand it more easily.

Even though everyone can value something with other currencies that they are familiar with and have also used in life, but it is always rare so that the valuation of goods through the dollar currency always occurs more dominantly in life. And for the parable of 1BTC = 1BTC I think it is better to replace it with 1BTC = ... (its own value) with a clearer understanding and easier for everyone to understand.


Simplify, just use U.S. Dollars, Euros, Yen, Swiss Francs, <Your Currency Here>. It doesn't change the fact that Bitcoin has already won the war in what is truly the Store of Value of all cryptocurrencies. Ethereum? Dogecoin? Other shitcoins? No, they have lost the war.

Plus it's time to pay attention. Be ready to deploy our "soldiers", savings, for the next "war", next bull market. Don't wait for the whales to front-run you. YOU front-run the whales!
1926  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Binance is spamming mempool on: November 16, 2022, 05:53:20 AM

The massive waiting transactions in mempool only occured in less than 24 hours ago. Because yesterday, mempool is very clear and we can move bitcoin with 3 satoshis to 5 satoshis

https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#BTC%20(default%20mempool),24h,weight

Binance (if it is real) did choose a good time to create panic on newbies. They will feel more panic when their transactions need too long time to get a first confirmation. Taking this congestion, I remind people to use an opt-in Replace-by-Fee (RBF) for their transaction. So if their transactions stucked, they can bump the fee.


It's understandable that plebs like us would be more paranoid after the crash of FTX, the owners scamming their own users, but we shouldn't panic. It's just mere coincidence that Binance consolidated their wallets. Why would Binance want to cause another panic? They definitely DON'T want a bank run starting in their own service. It's what the government wants.

Quote

It's either prevention for mass withdrawals, or the community became more paranoid after the second biggest exchange has scammed the community. For me, it's probably just coincidence. But if it's as a prevention for another exchange "bank run", then I believe the result would be a positive, not only for the exchanges, but for the community as well, no? We don't want another crash.

It is not to prevent mass withdrawals. Exchanges already charge very expensive withdrawal fee on users. Their fees are fixed and expensive because they over charge users.

Binance did not reduce or increase their withdrawal fee on Bitcoin. https://www.binance.com/en/fee/cryptoFee


I know.

Following this would be helpful: https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/ and read the full node guide.

Enjoy this also: Connect to full node on Trezor Suite using Electrum server. Especially reading the extra links.


Plus this Medium article/blog/guide in how to actually install, and run a full node for newbies/inexperienced users by StopAndDecrypt. It's the best written guide about the topic in my opinion.

StopAndDecrypt was also accused to be gmaxwell's alt-account by many anti-Bitcoin trolls in Twitter and Reddit because they couldn't win in a technical debate against him. A good person to learn from. Cool

I think that your best chance may be to get the data recovered from the old HDD.


That's not OP's "best chance". It's ONLY chance, and services for recovering lost data from corrupted hard drives is not hard to find anymore.

OP, I don't know about CMAC, or any other application that generates/outputs private keys by using public keys as inputs. If there was such a program that works, the developers would never upload it, but use it to "mine" for Satoshi's wallet's private key.

Jokes aside, personally get the old hard drive, then look for a data recovery service.

Yeah there are several accusations against casino involving funds withdrawal issue which needs to be settled at early when possible and the team has responded to the thread so let's see how the conversation further goes on and hope the team is active now to answer the doubts of members.

There are no issues with withdrawing funds. Some players are trying to abuse the system as well as Rollbit and then they come here to rally support for a cause which is false and riddled with lies..


The full freedom to express ourselves that are given to us in the forum can also be abused. Disinformation, gas-lighting, and FUD can be found EVERYWHERE, and from the casino's position, sometimes they can't defend themselves from the hard decisions they need to make to stop the cheating, the exploiting and especially the multi-accounting.

There is a casino here with a very red trust rating, and there was a user here who wasn't defending the casino, but merely said that he had 10 Bitcoins withdrawn, and this user was given a negative trust rating. The user is confirmed by some people in the community to be a real whale in another casino.

With any casino, there’s always going to be users who have different experiences or different feelings regarding a casino which is fine as everyone is entitled to their own views/opinions and should be able to choose what site they play on without any grievance from other users. It only becomes an issue when any negative feelings are used to cause/attempt to cause harm to the casino itself without any proof to back their claims up.

Without speaking on any specific cases, I see rollbit recently replied to an accusation made against them, and so hopefully anything else gets cleared up.


I do feel though that for the most part a lot of the feedback here and in other sources eg:twitter/rollbit discord is positive and the sites growth speaks for itself in the sense of looking at the hot wallets unique ethereum accounts depositing/withdrawing from the site as well as the growth in users wagering via the daily races.


The point is we should also look at some situations from the casino's viewpoint. The owners are running a business, why would they scam their own users if their reputation will be destroyed? I'm not defending any casino, but we should also be responsible in our actions because we might be destroying the reputation of a good business within the forum.

The other point, it's very easy to make a brand new account and accuse the casino. Why hide behind a brand new account to make scam accusations? Why is the accuser hiding? This might open a Pandora's Box for scamming. Or it might happening, and we are unaware.

1932  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Not Quitting only a break on: November 14, 2022, 11:27:06 AM
Gambling is a habit so difficult to stop

Through out my days as a  GAMBLER  I have seen and had  so many people who for some reason have decided in their mind that they want to stop Gambling but in the latter of things said I eventually  see them again  involving themselves in gambling acts.

So many people actually tell themselves lies and intend to keep going on with those lies and continue saying this popular quote "this time no more I have quit"

Except for  people that take the act of gambling for fun who are really not affected by gambling so many people have uttered these particular quote noted above 

It has come to my notice that these people don't actually know what to do. instead of saying that they have quit they should know that they are actually  going on a gambling break..

This will only difficult if you are not willing to stop this. If you are living on unrealistic world where you believe that you can earn a lot of money on gambling and keep pushing to reach those goal then maybe you will fall in addiction which could make you hard to resist playing and control yourself to quit playing while you are winning.

So better learn to have self control first since for sure quitting will not be a problem to you.


I believe that part of that responsbility has also become from the part of the casinos themselves, especially cryptocurrency casinos because they would be very accessible to minors if they own some Bitcoin or altcoins. It's very different environment than casinos that accept credit card/bank wire deposits because credit cards are not issued to minors, and bank wires ask for the sender's/reciever's information.

Perhaps casinos should start building "Responsible Gambling" features, no? Features that can limit how much money you can bet per 24 hours/week, or how much to deposit per 24 hours/week.
1933  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🦉 Owl.games 🦉 Web 3.0 Crypto Casino & Sportsbook - BTC-Metamask-Walletconnect on: November 14, 2022, 06:57:52 AM
I can understand your frustration but you need to be more patient. Repeating the same thing over and over again and accusing the casino of scamming although they didn't make a final decision, yet, is not going to help and won't speed up resolving this issue.
You said the same thing happened to you with another casino (bc if am not wrong) so you know this is a normal procedure followed by all casinos when they suspect something is not right. Just give them more time till they get a response from the game provider.
You are right, we have to wait for the official response from the game provider because only they can prove how the actual activity has happened, I only suggest that the team should respond to this case immediately because so as not to cause negative effects among the gambling community, hopefully we will get a detailed answer soon from team and hope that the problem will be resolved soon.

This case was responded to 2 days ago in the accusation thread then the team must wait for an audit from the game provider usually will take about 1-2 weeks
Initial suspicion this is a bug because previously OwlGames confirmed there were bugs in several games that were less popular and exploited
For a while there is no choice except waiting for the audit results and of course OwlGames reputation will be a guarantee.

I just want to comment: You disable games due to possible bugs on the recommendation of the game provider.

however, in other casinos, these games still work fine. Why didn't game provider inform other betting companies about possible bug? Why are all the other bgaming games still working? why were the games that I played but were unprofitable removed?


You should also understand the situation from the casino's viewpoint. A brand new account won in one of the closest to the most impossible of results, playing a game designed to be mathematically impossible for it to happen. If you were the owner of a business, wouldn't you also be suspicious?

Plus the casino also has their right to protect the site in case a bug truly is being exploited. You can address the concern publicly, but you also need to be patient.
1934  Economy / Exchanges / Re: FTX has been hacked, delete the app, don't go to website on: November 14, 2022, 06:35:30 AM

It's currently harder to trust which exchanges are safe for us plebs.


Here's a simple way to find out: Is the exchange centralized/custodial? If yes, then it isn't safe.


You're right, but we can't challenge the fact that we plebs who trade with small account sizes, and them whales who trade with large account sizes need centralized exchanges, AND trust is obviously VERY important. What kind of sector would cryptocurrencies be in the financial world if none of these exchanges are trustworthy? It will be bad for growth, and it will also be very bad for adoption.

Plus tin-foil hats on. Is FTX itself spreading FUD/misinformation to make all of their ex-users delete the app = delete evidence?
1935  Economy / Exchanges / Re: FTX has been hacked, delete the app, don't go to website on: November 12, 2022, 10:55:09 AM
Just a heads up: a lot of people might probably say that this is unlikely a "hack" and that some FTX personnel(regardless if it's SBF or not) is just running away with the funds(and I agree that this is highly more likely), but regardless — don't open the FTX website and uninstall all FTX apps. JUST TO BE EXTRA SURE.


It's not unlikely a "hack", it's VERY VERY UNLIKELY a hack. They're going to run, then hide after what they did, and they're taking their users' money with them! Hahaha!

It's currently harder to trust which exchanges are safe for us plebs. I'm seeing some users in Twitter who tweet that "Binance is the safest" exchange, but how do we prove that unless everyone withdraws their coins to test if they have enough in their vaults/reserves to pay all their users.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5420599.msg61279333#msg61279333


I'm sorry whoever you are, but I believe Owl.Games, with their reputation on the line in and out of this forum, needs to check and validate what happened. Because from their point of view, the game of a provider that you played might have been exploited. If proven that it was truly exploited, then then might be considered = cheating. The casino simply cannot pay you even if the owner of the casino wanted to.
1937  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or wait till the end on: November 11, 2022, 11:46:19 AM
OP, no one in the forum can answer that for you, but you. But as a "guideline", and because you have your own money at risk, it will absolutely be OK to cash out if you ask me, especially if you are stressed from the bet. But if it's money from a bonus, or a giveaway, definitely you should wait for the full cash!
1938  Economy / Gambling / Re: Blackjack.fun | Live tables | Baccarat |Slots| InstantWithraw on: November 11, 2022, 11:30:48 AM

Besides tournament rewards is the bonus given for players by playing in th casino. They already done the wagering and adding x20 wager on it is just a redundant since it came already from wager bets.

I just want to correct something here. The required bonus wager is already x40 based on previous conversation of winner and the admin about claiming tournament prize. I confirmed this info again on the chat right now and x40 is now the updated requirements and not x20 that is the original wagering required.

This is so hard to complete that makes me just abandoned my bonus profit coming from my free spin because I lose some funds already just to get the free spin. I will wait wait for v3.0 before I play again for a better RTP for the bonus.

When the x20 wager is applied some of the users suggested lowering the requirements but in fact it was even increased x40?
Let's see how users respond to this new rule we can monitor it in the tournament list do old users stay active or are new users dominated


Are you talking about the Freeroll BlackJack tournaments? That's probably another game in the casino that's used and abused by cheaters and multi-accounters, that the abuse on Diggy's hole would look very gentle. Hahaha.

I believe BlackJack.fun is going on the right path by implementing other ways to stop cheating first, without implementing KYC. Plus I also believe x40 will not be maintained forever. The admins will adjust it down.

 He surely pertaining on hourly/daily/weekly tournament of the casino since this is the only bonuses that applied the new wagering requirements. Besides all rewards including the Bitcoin rewards is also needs to be wagered 40x so if you are whale player who spend a lot approximately 1M USD wager volume just to get the bonus. They will now need to wager again around 4BTC approximately 100mbtc is the total bonus.

This is not a problem for a solid whale that usually bet this huge amount but remember that they are not getting anything such as rakeback & cashback on all of there bets aside from this tournament bonus. You will understand what I’m saying if you try to compete on tournament for a higher spot.


OK, I was confused because it's wrong to call the wagering leaderboard a "tournament". Perhaps it can be called a "competition".

I'm also starting to believe that you're right about the the wagering requirement. I have more than $20.00 in my bonus wallet, and it would require me to bet $400.00 to receive that in 20x wager and $800.00 in 40x? That might take a pleb like me more than one month, and losses more than $20.00.

BUT FOR THE GOOD NEWS V3 UI LOOKS VERY GOOD! KUDOS TO BlackJack.Fun!

But this is where you should have learned, perhaps a very long time ago, that in Bitcoin the cabal has, and will always blame the technology. The people, mostly plebs like me, that are empowered through technologies such as Bitcoin will be called/labeled as radicals, or people who want to "break things", the "trouble makers". Why do you think they want to regulate it? To your viewpoint, they should only regulate the business, but leave Bitcoin alone, no?

first of all IN BITCOIN there is no cabals... i think you are again confusing bitcoin with the businesses gated AROUND bitcoin that use bitcoin at the edges
there is no business "inside bitcoin"


First of all I NEVER said Bitcoin had a cabal. I'm talking about the cabal behind the government. If you're going to act like a franky again, then you should first understand the topic at hand.

Plus from our debates from before, you're the person who's accusing Bitcoin of having a cabal, which of course there is NONE. The people behind the New York Agreement, who excluded the Core Developers, tried to be that cabal, but they never won against the community.

Those people/founders who are in charge of FTX are the kind of people who give Anti-Bitcoin people and the nocoiners a REAL reason to tell us "I TOLD YOU SO". They are those same CLOWNS who are in an exclusive group of STUPID like Roger Ver and Craig Wright. This latest drama is making it very embarassing to be called a "Bitcoin HODLer". Are we truly STUPID from the nocoiners' viewpoint? I believe, YES!

this is where you need to learn the difference between BUSINESSES and bitcoin
