1921  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What’s your gambling profit percentage limit? on: August 20, 2022, 03:18:25 PM
I use profit percentage as my restriction to not overplay too much. I usually set 100% of my initial deposit as target profit before I stop gambling. Sometimes my bankroll got busted before I hit that target which means I need to stop gambling for the day and move on for tomorrow. I use this method after suffering a huge loss by just chasing more profit even though I already gain so much money. I admit that I don’t have satisfaction on just winning because I don’t have limit goal before.

Now, I manage to play in moderate way and increase my profit in general because I already control myself on when to take profit and stop gambling for good.


Are you using using same method on limiting your gambling crave? What’s your percentage goal?



My profit percentage is kind of similar to yours. I aim for 2x or 100%. Sometimes I get more than this and many times I go busted.
But whenever I am in profits I make sure to have got at least 100% and more after which I quit gambling for the day.

Last 3 days left on the price betting events on bitcoin and ethereum. The tables have turned now because of the dump yesterday from $24k to $21k.
Volatility is high so may be it will be difficult to predict the prices this time. But the risk is worth it because of attractive returns on the price ranges.
What are you guys planning to bet on ?

Lately I have noticed that there is no deposit option on WazirX anymore. The only way we can deposit is via the P2P deposit.
Also, I have got a notification(don't remember whether it was from binance or wazirx) to move all my funds to binance to keep my funds safe since wazirx is being investigated for a fraud.
1925  Local / India / Re: What would be the best way to buy a hardware wallet in India ? on: August 20, 2022, 01:08:34 PM
Here you go buddy, this might help you a bit. I've been using Nano X for quite some time and virtually zero problems so far.

This is their twitter handle https://twitter.com/EtherbitHQ  shoot them a text if you got any confusion or concern or try their website directly.

etherbit is legit vendor in India. In past (2019) i have ordered few Nano X from etherbit for myself, father-in-law and couple of friends, everything went okay and delivery was also very fast (less than 24 hours) but ofc it would depend on the location too.

Check etherbit site during black friday sale (25th Nov-2 Dec), you might end up saving 2-3k rs.

Thanks for the link. Seems like etherbit is a good option if we want to buy from India based seller.
I like the fact that it is delivering the product in less than a week. So the chances of tampering are way to less when compare to delivery from official website.
Although it has a good reputation and reviews do you think it is a good idea to buy from resellers and not from official website ?



The second question is if we buy directly from the official website would there be a risk in delivery ?
May be the customs can keep it under their radar or tamper it or raise legal issues against us?


No, they won't tamper with your device.  Just make sure to reset the device and use your "own" keys.

But be ready to pay 100% of the cost of product as custom duty(there's custom on shipping charges too in this stupid country Smiley ) And you will have to pay else forget your device.

Buy straight from the original website, if they can ship to India


Is it really 100% of the cost of product ? I read on paisabazaar that it's just 10% of the cost of product.
But at the same time it takes around a month or more to receive the product. Now that's a turn off.

Quote
The assessable value of an imported item is Rs.1000/-
Basic Customs Duty = 10%
Integrated Tax Rate = 18%
The taxes will be calculated as follows:
Assessable Value = Rs.1000/-
Basic Customs Duty = Rs.100/-
The value to impose integrated tax = Rs.1000 + Rs.100 = Rs.1100/-
Integrated tax = 18% of Rs.1100 = Rs.198/-
Sum of Taxes = Rs.100 + Rs.198 = Rs.298/-

1926  Local / India / Re: The timeline, What is the current situation of crypto in india? on: August 19, 2022, 02:15:02 PM
I tend to disagree on the part where you said that after the introduction of the recent tax bill new investors have entered the market. New investors never entered the market but a lot of investors have opted out or have chosen the illegal way to trade. This will surely hurt the tax collection that the government was intending to get and might become a problem if too many investors try to use the illegal way.

Well actually he said that since the government of India imposed tax on cryptocurrency trading it became a signal that India won't be banning cryptocurrencies.
Since this seems like a positive news many new investors joined the crypto bandwagon.
There's no genuine way to find this out but this is partially true. It was indeed a positive signal that India won't be banning crypto any time soon.
So "MAY BE" some investors took it positively and invested some amount into crypto.
The taxation part is obviously a bad news though since the amount to be paid in tax was high enough to drive the investors away from crypto.
1927  Local / India / What would be the best way to buy a hardware wallet in India ? on: August 19, 2022, 01:54:39 PM
The title says it all. As far as I know there is one genuine Ledger Hardware wallet "reseller" in India.
But still, the wise ones recommend to directly buy the hardware wallet from official websites only.
Now comes the question what would be the best way to buy a hardware wallet in India.
Also, which one should it be? Ledger or Trezor ?

The second question is if we buy directly from the official website would there be a risk in delivery ?
May be the customs can keep it under their radar or tamper it or raise legal issues against us?
1928  Economy / Gambling / Re: The Biggest Wins with lowest risks in Casino History on: August 19, 2022, 01:43:39 PM
I think the title is a little misleading because it is not exactly the lowest risks. Although these users might have won such huge amounts on those bet amounts but may be the total amount they risked of the win would have been greater.
For example I am placing 1000 bets with each a bet amount of $2 and won $20000 in a bet.
People will say I risked $2 and won $20000 but in real my risk was $2000 instead.
1929  Economy / Gambling / Re: A New Era for Betting - (After Corona Circumstances) on: August 19, 2022, 01:38:52 PM
The virus remains, I am in Ecuador and there are cases of people who are still in hospitals and it continues to affect them, the cold in Ecuador makes this virus stick even more to kill people, it is strange that this is not let the people in the world know, the covid-19 continues to take people, and there are many affected, but despite all that, the world is no longer paralyzed, and it may be good, oepro still continues to talk about this virus.

This is surprising to know that corona virus is still killing. Are the people in Ecuador still in lock down? I suggest corona has gone and the virant which was discovered had already gone, I think it was called omicron. Any other thing now could be high level malaria or what politicians are using to get money from the international bodies. Anyways, I can be said that men has learnt how to live with the deadly disease. We should not be threatened with it or by it anymore.

I wouldn't be much surprised because the covid-19 isn't completely gone. It is still hunting for people in some parts of my country.
But yeah the affect of it is not much these days. It's more or same like a flu. No deaths are occurring due to covid-19 since all people in my country are now vaccinated.
I think vaccination has really helped everyone in standing firm against this virus or we can say it has given us our routine life back.
1930  Economy / Gambling / Re: Duelbits.com | Casino & Sportsbook | Earn up to 50% rakeback | VIP | on: August 19, 2022, 01:18:42 PM
Selling of these documents is harsh truth which we need to realise and don't provide our KYC documents to any fake casino out there which could be risky and in most cases they don't call you but will use your documents for some illegal works over the dark web so we must not provide them to anyone whom we don't trust at all.
This has been the subject of a lot of news. A harsh truth, to be honest. It is for a reason that casinos implement KYC processes to comply with regulations. Among the documents that online casinos prefer to receive are National IDs, Passports, Driver's Licenses, Utility Bills, or Bank Statements. All of these documents are very sensitive and personal. Only share with those who we totally trust, otherwise a biased platform might sell our information to third parties. The majority of the time, I tend to avoid casinos that ask you to drop such personal information.

Even if at all we are asked to submit our KYC details we must make sure that the site is genuine.
Many of the casino sites are fake and are probably running so that they can scam the users.
Casino sites like Duelbits on the other hand is genuine and reputable. We must make sure we provide our KYC details only on such sites which we trust.
Although there is risk since nothing is safe online but the risk is comparatively very low for such reputed sites.
1931  Economy / Gambling / Re: Duelbits.com | Casino & Sportsbook | Earn up to 50% rakeback | VIP | on: August 18, 2022, 03:41:07 PM
I honestly think casinos and exchanges are hitting two targets with one arrow.
By setting a mandatory KYC on their platform they are following the regulations from the government as well as selling this data to other companies for money.
Governments are keeping these regulations for AML but may be exchanges and casinos are using this KYC data for their benefit as well.
We can never know the hidden truth behind this.
As long as there's no blackmail or many strangers asking you for money, I don't think your KYC is being used by other people. Because that's where your data being used and it's a sign if many people already know how to reach you. You may correct we don't know behind truth about this, but at the same time they're getting forced to ask KYC. That's why if you're want to give your KYC, make sure you're already 100% trust with the project.

Well, I don't know about casino sites but I know the fact that there are companies that sell their KYC data to others.
Other companies use this data and calls you with their advertisements. There are also websites which sells their customer data to other companies.
Other companies then show you targeted ads and promotions. Both of this can be possible by casino sites as well.
But yeah you have a point too. Only give your KYC information to platforms which you trust.
1932  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Threshold of Loss in Gambling on: August 18, 2022, 03:31:45 PM
It's good that you are taking the losses in a positive way by learning a lesson of how to not chase your losses.
But at the same time the losses shouldn't have gone to 50% at first place. When I say 10% of my savings I make sure to deposit only that much amount for the month.
So that amount is my hard stop and the maximum I can lose. It won't matter if I lose it all in a single day or keep playing with that amount for the entire month.
The next deposit will only be in the next month.

It’s a good strategy, but it seems to me that you are either initially not very involved in gambling, or vice versa, you already have serious experience. I thought so because allocating a budget once a month is a rare event, and if you do not use additional money management (breaking down this budget at least into weeks), then losing at the beginning of the month is very difficult to wait for its end. For example, I am not much involved in gambling and I have discipline but it would be difficult for me to wait even one week if I wanted to play a little.

It is partially true. The thing is that although I have a fixed budget for gambling for the month I tend to use it only when I am craving for gambling.
It's more like an entertainment for me so I deposit the amount when I feel like gambling too much in a particular month.
I am not regular at it but I gamble around 7-8 times a month. So that's why I am having good control at limiting my gambling budget.
1933  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best wallet for altcoins ? on: August 18, 2022, 02:51:51 PM
Thinking about long term perspective.
I don't really get the point why you are opting for an alternative rather than settling with using hardware wallet especially if you are looking for longterm storage.

Even though I'm aware that Ledger has had problems with client data being exposed and defective products being produced, they are still a viable alternative, especially if the altcoins you plan to store aren't all that well-known, which I hope they aren't. The only drawback is that Ledger is proprietary, which is a huge privacy red flag. As mentioned by these threads [1], you can also choose an open source hardware wallet.

Because I didn't have many altcoins to begin with, I have personal experience utilizing the Trezor One more regularly than my Ledger Nano S. But if you want to use alternatives like Monero (XMR), you must regrettably get the Trezor T because it is the only Trezor model that supports it. Additionally, third-party applications like Near or any other wallet-type application occasionally have issues with Trezor or may not be supported.

In the end, it largely relies on your preferences, how you want to use your wallet, and which cryptocurrencies you intend to store.

[1] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5288971.0

Actually the thing is that I am kind of double minded whether to hold the altcoins for a long term or not.
Someone told me that we shouldn't be holding altcoins for a long term and keep taking profits along the way.
So in that case I would want to hold it in a non custodial wallet. Hardware wallet is good for long term ofcourse.
But if I am not holding big amounts then do you think buying a hardware wallet is worth it ?
Let's say the amount is not more than $1500 or so.
1934  Economy / Gambling / Re: Duelbits.com | Casino & Sportsbook | Earn up to 50% rakeback | VIP | on: August 17, 2022, 02:29:34 PM
The thing related to KYC is not that we are using money for wrong purpose and we can show proof to safe ourselves but most of the players in crypto market fear KYC as they want to remain anonymous and submitting your documents could be risky for them and this is reason but yes if you have no issues then you can withdraw any amount from your account.
Online casinos do not record the use of money from withdrawals for wrong purposes but treat KYC to prevent from AML and following the latest regulations, maybe the existence of KYC will address the abuse of AML in gambling platforms. But non KYC users cannot be blamed for privacy reasons but if popular casino platforms implement then they have no other option to avoid KYC.

I honestly think casinos and exchanges are hitting two targets with one arrow.
By setting a mandatory KYC on their platform they are following the regulations from the government as well as selling this data to other companies for money.
Governments are keeping these regulations for AML but may be exchanges and casinos are using this KYC data for their benefit as well.

Wow, I never knew this was the story behind FedEx. This is quite interesting. Although not everyone has such a good luck especially in these kind of situations luck really favored Smith.
Also, it was his smartness at that moment that he decided to stop gambling more after winning $27000. May be he could have lost it all if he would have gambled more.
He made the right decision to invest that amount into his company and the growth he is seeing in his business these days is due to his smart work. He deserves it.
That's true that luck are sometimes hard to attract or find when you badly need a money and then you gamble your last money, usually you can only lose but not for this guy. Despite knowing that the 27k was still not enough to get the business running properly he still discontinued gambling and invest the money on his losing company.

Luckily he overcome its issue that time, making the company running smoothly again. If those winning moment happen to other normal gamblers I think they will get overwhelmed and forgot their true purpose on why they gamble and want to earn some money but they will continue till their wins turns into a loss.

That's exactly where most of the gamblers tend to make a mistake. They don't quit while they are in profits.
They keep playing and eventually lose. If at all most of them start to quit when they are in profits then casinos will turn out to make losses instead.
1936  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Best wallet for altcoins ? on: August 15, 2022, 02:36:51 PM
Throughout the years I have just been holding bitcoin and ethereum in a non-custodial wallet but now I have decided to diversify my portfolio.
There are a lot of potential altcoins out there and I have picked up a few. Storing altcoins on an exchange id obviously not the right thing to do.
While I know that hardware wallet would be the best place to store altcoins I want to know other options as well.

Thinking about long term perspective.

1. For now, I have been thinking to store them on a non-custodial wallet but then again which wallet should it be ? My choice would be Exodus but let me know which one is best.
2. Would it better to store different altcoins in different wallets or decrease the hassle of maintaining different wallets and settle down with just one with all the coins.
1937  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I started business many days ago. Now it's time to accept Crypto as a payment. on: August 15, 2022, 02:27:55 PM
I started a small business on exporting rice in my town. It's been several months and everything is going well.
All my customers are happy with the service. So to make things a bit more interesting, I've decided to accept crypto as a payment method.
I have designed this business card of mine, and I'll be handing over this to my customers.

In the beginning, I have decided to stick on Binance pay, and BTC payment.
The BTC address is in the QR code on the business card, and also with the PAY ID for Binance.
Universal token transaction will be done through pay ID and BTC could be transferred too.
For those who want to pay with other method, can choose BTC address.

snip

I gave it a good thinking and have implemented this in my business. So I want to know you guy's opinion in this.
Feel free to suggest me more secure options and how to improve this.
Thanks a lot in advance.

It's great that you have decided to accept crypto as a payment but keep in mind about the taxes that you will have to pay for those payments and also verify if crypto can be accepted as a payment method in your country.
You wouldn't want illegal payment issues coming to your way. Also, you haven't mentioned anywhere on your card about the cryptocurrency that is being used.
Do mention that only bitcoin should be deposited to this address otherwise the funds be lost.
1938  Local / India / Re: WazirX Founder & Co-founder have moved out of India? on: August 15, 2022, 01:18:05 PM
Are you sure that's the coin name ? I tried to search the coin with that name but was unable to find it on coingecko and wazirx.
Besides that, what does your investment has to do with wazirx. I mean if the coin is crashing that's not the exchange's fault.
It is mostly because of less demand unless and until that coin is only available on wazirx.
How do you say there is no relationship between the coin and the exchange, the WazirX (WRX) coin was founded by the exchange team, so if the exchange is in trouble like what is happening now of course investors and exchange users will withdraw from trading and investing.

Yesterday I invested or more clearly bought a coin (WRX) worth $0.8, now it has dropped to $0.2, who doesn't have a headache, hoping to make a profit instead of stumbling.

Again, something that is misleading, WRX didn't drop from $0.8 to $0.2 overnight. It took around 4 months for it to drop to the current price.
Now that's enough time for someone to sell their coins and buy them back. That's not wazirx exchange's fault that the market conditions were bad.
Almost all the coins have been dumped in the last 4 months and that is not because of any particular exchange.
1939  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your General Feeling After Playing In Casino In the last 10 session on: August 15, 2022, 01:06:15 PM
Gambling indeed gives us a wide range of feelings since it involves our emotions at peak level.
We become happy when we win, sad when we lose and angry when we chase losses.
Talking about my feeling from the last 10 sessions it was moderately okayish for me.
I didn't lose much nor did I win much. So I was kind of excited to comeback in the hope to win something the next time.

Many of us who play casinos, suffer more or less. Many are blaming it again that it is a money-losing machine. In this regard I would like to share a success history by playing casino game. It is only for knowing the truth especially those are don't know the fact.

Many of us may know the name of an international courier service known as FedEx. This courier service company headquarter is in Tennessee, USA. FedEx currently distributes about 1.2 billion parcels a year in 220 countries with an annual revenue of about 3 billion. Smith, founder of FedEx, started his business with 84 million us dollar. At that time he started operations in 35 countries with 8 planes. But at one stage, the price of plane fuel increased and that contemporary time courier service did not become very popular. His company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Smith come back to Las Vegas feeling sad. At that time Las Vegas was known as the capital of casinos. He had only $5,000 when he entered a casino with a depressed mind. His destiny was revealed. He earned about $27,000 with in a week. Smith come back to FedEx headquarter and invest his money on his company even though his money was not enough to run the company but with his hard work and enthusiasm he arranged to send all the parcels. in this way he established his company.

This is really a good success of smith as well as FedEx with the favor of Casino. By the way, i am not sharing it to encourage anyone to the casino.

Wow, I never knew this was the story behind FedEx. This is quite interesting. Although not everyone has such a good luck especially in these kind of situations luck really favored Smith.
Also, it was his smartness at that moment that he decided to stop gambling more after winning $27000. May be he could have lost it all if he would have gambled more.
He made the right decision to invest that amount into his company and the growth he is seeing in his business these days is due to his smart work. He deserves it.
