I am sure that those days you are talking about was like first 2 years of bitcoin give or take. I have been here since late 2012 and I can say that faucets were giving like 10k satoshi give or take, the max I remember was 30k satoshi at the time. This doesn't mean that it was a small amount, 30k satoshi today worths so much for a faucet but it wasn't like 5 bitcoins levels, that was only in the very very early days.

I do however agree that we all wagered few bitcoins at a time. I remember wagering 2+ bitcoins away and now considering the same thing, that would have been enough to buy a small house at the ATH price for example, definitely a small amount at those days, such a huge one right now.
Just a matter of time that bitcoin has surged so high and the facuet i was talking about was of Gavin Anderson where you just have to fill captcha and was rewarded with 5 bitcoins or if you want full details you can read it here and see now wagering with even some sats is worth because everyone wants to hold them now.

There are still whales going for those big wins but we need to focus on our way and enjoy it the same way.

The winning is from another platform. But, I have said something negative about slots here and LFC just suggested I play slots for fun. Luckily I won $1000 from free spin. So I guess it's worth sharing where I posted my negative feedback about slots before. Thanks for congratulating me. I already lost half of it BTW
It's okay if you have shared your win to motivate others that you could also be lucky anytime if you have not experienced big wins earlier also.Like in your case LFC_Bitcoin inspired you to play slots and here are the results of you winning $1000 out of free spins so happy for your that win.It seems that @LFC_Bitcoin contacted the luck man to visit you once and motivate the small gamblers  Grin

I would say cash out some profits or if you wish to wager the remaining one go the way you like it and maybe you are lucky in row Grin so best wishes ahead.
1943  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I'm new here, Is it a scam or what? They ask me to invest $100 and after 24 hou on: April 08, 2022, 11:15:46 AM

They ask me to invest $100 and after 24 hours you win $2000
These are one of the most base scam techniques where they would tell you that amount would be doubled or even more to make you slightly greedy and lightened up little Spark of hope in you which will make you fall for their trap.Whenever you have these kind of mails or contacts giving away you free money or double yours it's pure scam so stay away from it.Ask yourself is this possible? Are they any paid financial consultancy services to you that will double your money fast? Stay away big warning for them.

If there were a way that they could turn $100 into $2000 then they would have done it themselves and would never tell anyone least of which random people. They could just do this:
$100 > $2000 > $40000 > $800,000 > $16,000,000
Meaning they could have become a millionaire in only 4 days!
So yeah, this is one of the most obvious scams.
This is the thing they will get millionaire at one point if they scam certain percentage of people with these shitty scam tricks.Have seen people depositing huge amount of proportion to their address and then the coins are lost forever.Mostly they hack some influential accounts and then place the fake address for coins depositing like double doge scam with Elon musk Twitter profile and similar cases.They are easily doubling their amounts like 100>2000>40000.... with people who are greedy or not aware of these tricks.
1944  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Ranking up is possible! 2900 Merits earned in less than 12 months!My 11 Hints! on: April 08, 2022, 11:02:24 AM
Now I see, it doesn't matter who registered first or how punctual you are online, it all depends on your good threads and how you carry others by teaching them and passing to them the knowledge in you.
I would say this is community based forum not some old school where you need to be punctual as you could post anytime you wish to do so or learn about various things through useful threads at any time you feel comfortable to do so.

Yes time is not factor which will determine how many merits you will earn over the forum but your knowledge will definitely have the impact over it as it's the only way you will be writing quality posts and getting merits as reward from them.The both names you are talking about like @fillippone and @Ratimov have registered over the forum few years back only and have paved their way to the forum in best campaign like ChipMixer but it has become possible only due to their effective contributions on the forum and useful threads like this.They are among top 10 merit earners on the forum which is great thing.



Of course earning merits isn't all about when a user registered here, some users are more knowledgeable than others, but it doesn't mean such users just stumbled on the said knowledge by the way, it is instead a product of the hardwork and immense efforts they put into learning and growing.
Yes you can be a newbie over the forum but might have in depth knowledge about bitcoin like technical and non technical both and share your knowledge and experience with others here which can help you to gain merits.The perfect example of this is Discovery of the year @n0nce who is full member with 1880 merits at current and he had registered previous year only.So knowledge has no barrier and he has proven it.So the best is to focus on increasing your knowledge first and learn regularly new aspects of bitcoin to help others.

The more you know about Bitcoin and the forum, the more it becomes easier to earn merits; it is very obvious fillippone is very knowledgeable about both.
Undoubtedly he has given very detailed threads about various bitcoin related concepts and have good knowledge about it which is why he has ranked up on forum so fast.I have commented previously on this thread also you might be looking at his merit speed and journey but see he also has acquired and exchange lot of useful information over these years which has made this possible.So ranking up possible but with knowledge.
1945  Other / Meta / Re: TheBitcoinTalkShow - 5 feb - Bitcointalk was hacked on: April 07, 2022, 12:44:52 PM
Okay so I am bumping this thread again because i just want to have some updates and share my views once again on the official forum channel after so long.

I know the lot has been going through all the time and you guys might be busy somewhere else and the videos got interrupted but they have generated a curiosity and interest among us that we desperately wait for them because they are sharing really cool and accurate information about the forum making it reach great audience and tell them about the different events associated with the forum.So you guy's need to keep them incoming to spread awareness and educate the people shutting down those crap youtubers shilling fake knowledge about bitcoin on YouTube.

Firstly congratulations to the team for providing gifts to the winners of the Community awards and giving their participation in the event held by @icopress and effectively managed by @GazetaBitcoin.So appreciate this effort by the channel team and making cool gift box with lazer printing and t-shirts also.

Now talking about the last vidoe Bitcointalk was hacked was really very useful for the members who are unaware about these past hacks in 2011,2013,2015 and the ways by which hackers gained access to the forum.Like the first one was through donator account and then @theymos locked the Satoshi's account on the forum.

The subsequent hacks were also mentioned and given out the information with all the orginal links to the resources so that viewers can check it themselves to have better idea about how it was done and read the post by @theymos explaining these hacks.I would say this was good and past explaining video for the forum and telling how the forum has improved over all these years.

So yo see these types of awareness content are really useful for the members as they learn about new things related to forum basically where they have accounts or will register in future.

Now shifting towards numerical aspects of the forum

Okay so now let's have some look at the channel stats to have rough understanding of the channel growth we have seen in past few months.See i am not channel adminstrator so don't have access to the accurate data but can show you some of the visible information to us as viewers.

BitcoinTalkShow YouTube Statistics

The Channel has 255 Subscribers with 5 videos being uploaded till now and this is the view counts of the videos:


You see how much growth the channel has made over these 5 videos only with maximum views reaching out to be 16k on community awards and 12k on first episode which were the most interesting part of the video.

Here is in detail view,likes and comments on each vidoe to understand them in more detail :

The channel was making progress with views counter also being raised but the last video uploaded was around 2 months back similar gap between teaser and first video.So you see there are many of us who wants continuity of the videos so would request @cyrus and the team to don't give up on this as this has begun all after very long and many years of discussion.I understand there could be some scenario problems and you can take time but giving some hints would be helpful for the community and viewers.

Will wait for new videos and best of luck to all the team and want white bear host once again back on the track to keep us engaged Grin

Nothing new of course haters gonna hate they want to pull down a too gambling platform but we know the reputation of the roobet already it's one of the most reputable and good quality of services in terms of gambling. We can not remove this kind of mentally to people. It's only to those who lose the gambling and have trouble with their deposits and withdrawals. Those are the common issue of the players. That's why they are always ranting and creating a fud.
I will say that there are genuine complaints also like when there could be some technical or other misunderstanding between the casino and player but it's resolved if the matter is brought to attention over the fourm and campaign manager @Hhampuz is ready to help personally and it's settled.But then there are people who are trying to defame the casino image without any proof so what they expect members to do? The best is to give them their own medicine by ignoring them and focus on your roobet discussions only.
1947  Economy / Gambling / Re: Rollbit.com | Crypto's Most Rewarding Casino 👑 on: April 07, 2022, 11:14:43 AM
I would say the current deposit options is fine rather than adding more of shit tokens to the Rollbit and they have to follow the rules and regulations also before adding any coin like Monero is restricted coin on many casinos due to it being anonymous.So the current deposit options are well for me and you could have easy liquidity for them in market but on the other hand adding some low demand coins could lead to some more issues.Rest team will decide themselves.
1948  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Everyone forgot April 5th...? on: April 07, 2022, 10:58:05 AM
Exactly. Like his name, the birth date and year are most probably not the real ones. And it's not OK to celebrate the biggest theft in history.
So I've seen this on Twitter already on the 5th of April, but I didn't propagate the "celebration".
But still you would see under the name of law they would never call it theft and the gold bullions are the center owned funds which can be confiscated under National crisis and you have no right for any objection.But they will find bitcoin as negative aspects for the society and will never reveal their nad acts.We can call it biggest legalised theft.

On the other hand Satoshi knew all these things and want to develop something that they don't have control over it and the result was decentralised bitcoin.Moreover yes he was smart enough to utilise each and everything in well manner and adding this birthday might be intended pun over this 1943 gold confiscation by Roosevelt.
1949  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I'm worried about the safety of my tokens and coins on: April 07, 2022, 10:43:26 AM
I will recommend Trezor model T, you can get it from their official website, https://trezor.io/. It is completely open source wallet and support thousand coins and tokens. Keep it safe from attackers. Offline attack can reveal your seed phrase, or best to use passphrase to prevent this as different keys and addresses would be generated by the addition of passphrase, while the passphrase can not be known to anyone else but you and not stored on the hardware wallet. In case of recovery, you will need your passphrase along with your seed phrase.
The Trezor hardware wallet is safe for the funds security as you are not having them on any centralised exchange and all your funds lies with your custody and keys never leave your device so practically there are no worries about safety.The risk will arise when you share you seed phrase or device physically with someone that could cause fund loss.

But speaking of Trezor we must also be aware about the latest phising attack on Trezor that asks users to download the fake Trezor suite and then asked you to fill the seeds and many people assuming it to be true lost their funds.You see even hardware wallets are prone to such hacks but the thing is the utter security lies in your hand and don't share your seeds with anyone.

All over the hardware wallets are the best like Ledger Nano S and Trezor to keep your funds safe instead of having them on any centralised exchange because not your keys not your coins is well known term.

First of all welcome to the forum but you have posted your thread in bitcoin discussion thread which is solely dedicated for btc related discussion so you could move you topic to Services section of this forum where you can offer your this mining related services to the users and interested one's can contact you.

Or if you want to explore the Mining board you can check it also but move your topic to that specific board yourself.
1951  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to hold in peace on: April 07, 2022, 10:14:09 AM
Is it true that its wrong to hold coins for many years and never look back? Someone said coins can die in just two years, they can also lose demand and hype under a year, so how do one hold with zero worries?.
You can see there are thousands of coins listed on coinmarketcap so what specific coin you plan to hold on for years needs to be clarified before giving any suggestions to you.

But there is simple mechanism of holding bitcoin and altcoins as there are two categories only so if you are into first category then surely you could hold btc for years without having fear and become dormant for years in order to gain higher profits.You must have heard about people gaining good amount of profits within 2-3 years of patience holding.You can check the history charts and will find out if you have invested few years back then you would be having good amounts.

For example if you take into consideration investing in bitcoin back in 2017-2018 period when it was around $19600 and at today's level we are at $45k down from $68k ATH but still you would be in profit.So you see the clear and broader picture of long term bitcoin holding.

But if you're planning to have your bag filled with some altcoins as most of them are shitcoins then the suggestions on my personal experience are leave them or don't go long term on them as it won't be beneficial at all.You can get idea from the picture that top-10 coins on CMC has been shifting but btc always remain the king with high volatility also.Most of them are pumped and then dumped by whales because they have no real utility so what's the purpose of holding coins like doge or Shiba? Musk will take them to the moon is old rumours and not going to happen so don't trust these coins at all.

You shouldn't even bag hold altcoins for 2 hours let alone 2 years. They all dump sooner or later because of a wide range of reasons but mainly uselessness. E
The people invest in them under some influence while seeing them rise for some time without going in detail that these coins have no utility so what's going to derive their value in future but later on most of the people loose funds and only the whales and shitcoin masters make the actual profits.Have seen people making lame excuses that btc is expensive and they can't invest in it as if stacking sats is not at all possible.We can give them advice rest all is dependent on their personal viewpoint and how deeply they understand bitcoin.

You can see @theymos has 2010 registered account and @o_e_l_e_o 2017 but you have made it to the top merit earning from 2018 only so you can made some calculations that you are already fast keeping up the pace.

1953  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin 2022 Conference on: April 06, 2022, 11:55:40 AM
This biggest bitcoin confrence has been the sparkling event and in spotlight from many months and finally the day has arrived when it's going to kick off with first warm welcome on Nakamoto stage in respect to the person who has made it possible to connect all of us through bitcoin.The advertising was very well in Miami and this could be only possible if you have crypto friendly Mayor like Francis who wants to make it bitcoin hub.

Was seeing some banners in Subway stations with actually having deep meaning to tell the people reality about bitcoin like you could see in this one :



See you could buy bitcoin in fraction which many people ignore like stacking sats is not possible and invest in shitcoins so they need to check out it.

Speaking of the conference in Miami then it's better that each segment is already managed over particular days with so many influential people to have discussion with like Saylor and Cathie Wood who will present the actual picture to the world.

FUN ACTIVITIES

Apart from these discussions there are plenty of other things that are associated with this Miami confrence like on 10th there is Music show event for the music lovers

Quote
Although the conference itself concludes on the 9th, Bitcoin 2022 Miami isn’t quite over. On the 10th, conference-goers can also attend Sound Money Fest – a BTC-centric music festival with performances by Steve Aoki, Logic, Run The Jewels, Deadmau5, and many more.

Quote
The Bitcoin Bazaar is a peer-to-peer marketplace that is 100% powered by the Bitcoin Lightning Network. Over 40 different merchants will sell antiques, home goods, books, comics, clothing, art, jewelry, electronics, watches, and more. There is also an eSports arena, and the venue will have a Bitcoin 2022 Miami Volcano sponsored by Cash App.

Check out here for more details

I’m really interested to see what, if any, positive news comes from Jack Mallers on April 7th.
Last year he announced that El Salvador were to become the first country in the world to adopt bitcoin as legal tender, through Strike & the Lightning Network. I do wonder & hole that something similar is revealed next week. Rumours going round are that Honduras will follow & become the second country to adopt bitcoin as legal tender. There are also whispers that Apple will use bitcoin as payment in the App Store. Jack has even been teasing by wearing an Apple cap lately.
Have eyes on all the things that will kick off some new whisper in the market after this conference in Miami and yes Jack might be announcing something good as his strike app is now being officially used in El Salvador with LN integration.The president is also there who will tell how well the country is going after adopting btc as legal tender and don't give a fuck about the supressing policies of IMF.

Maybe Bukele also announced the exact date for the issuance of bitcoin bonds for the bitcoin city in El Salvador as recently it was delayed due to some internal discrepancies of goverment.
1954  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bitcasino.io 💜 — 🚀 BTC Predictor of April 🚀 WIN a share of 250 mBTC 🚀 on: April 06, 2022, 11:00:18 AM
I really like this guess the bitcoin price on specific date contest from Bitcasino and the prizes are also exciting.We are normally also gambling but if we bet out funds on this one and get predictions chances each day.If someone gets close to the exact amount he could get 100mbtc from the pool which is really cool.
Agreed. Their prediction tournaments are some of my most favourite gambling tournaments in the crypto gambling world to be honest.

It's always difficult guessing BTC price at any specific time primarily because of the volatility factor making such tournaments even more exciting. I won in one of the contests hosted in the forum so far which felt really satisfying.
Yes it's difficult to give the exact price prediction but you see the most closed one will win the prize of the contest like you say within short range you can guess it.Moreover this is just game and if you are good analyst and can study the charts there is little hope you could guess it to some extent.But rest will be depending on the current factors at that time.Will see who's going to win this 100mbtc prize.
1955  Economy / Gambling / Re: Rollbit.com | Crypto's Most Rewarding Casino 👑 on: April 06, 2022, 10:45:07 AM
-snip-
but if we talk about whales they are wagering some really big amounts.
It depends. From our point of view, "big amounts" are when someone gambles away 1 BTC, for example. However, if we look back a bit further, it was quite normal for standard bets to be made with 1 BTC. For someone who owns 100 BTC or more, not much has changed from then: 1 BTC is still 1 BTC, hardly anyone converts that into dollars but it is about increasing their BTC holdings.
Yeah people having good amount of bitcoins at this time also won't care betting such big amounts and in the past when it was having very less value i have seen such bets been placed also.If we look back then faucet was giving away 5 bitcoins,Vitalik writing up articles and buying t-shirts for 8 btc or losers getting paid in btc for one competition but see now lot has changed but 1BTC=1BTC although the amount has totally changed.So we should bet with what we can and enjoy our own game.
1956  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I love Bitcoin and how about you? on: April 06, 2022, 10:29:05 AM
Of course, we all want to grow financially, and Bitcoin does that for us. However, the journey can be hard sometimes, but it is definitely worth your time and investment.
I would say seeking bitcoin as profitable source of investment is fine but you also need to look at all the perspectives why it is so popular and essential for this world.The demand and supply is the factor deriving the prices like you could see more and more people who are investing in btc for profits but the supply is limited to 21 million only and it's shrinking which makes it scarce.So simple rule is more demand and scarcity makes price surge so in long run you will make profits.

The each having the mining rewards are halfed and till now 19 million bitcoins have been mined and will take another 118 years to mine the last bitcoin so you see this is one way of bitcoin if you want profits.

The best part which makes me fall for it complete decentralisation and tokenomics development by the genius behind it Satoshi Nakamoto who changed the monetary system by shifting the powers from centralised chain of authority to distributing them to whosoever holds it.The whole system is transparent and you can't cheat for any fake transactions because it will not be validated and nobody can control the network.This is the beauty of bitcoin which all the shitcoins can't match and if you understand it at some core level you will be amazed to see it's working.It has brought up the financial revolution to the world making it deflationary crypto and many other good aspects which you can't ignore.

For me there are some of these reasons which is why bitcoin is the only best option for me so don't know about others.
1957  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is NFT? & How to get free NFTs on coinmarketcap on: April 06, 2022, 10:04:44 AM
So you worked for days to accumulate a completely virtual number in a virtual account with a price reporting website. How much real money does that even translate into? $0.000001? Cheesy
No fun of getting those CMC diamonds to redeem for these engin powered Giraffe collection which is worth nothing and will be listed on Enjin NFT marketplace in future.You would need 800 diamonds to redeem one of those NFT and you will spend quite a lot of your time over these waiting daily to get rewards on CMC so total wastage of time.

Quote
Then the supply is 20,000 per Giraffe. I hope their network don’t glitch when it’s time to redeem because that has been my experience anytime I want to redeem any of these NFTs.

This is kind of airdrop to have Enjin wallet downloaded because this is the only way you can redeem these NFT by providing ETH address.

Based on your screenshot, that NFT has 20000 supply. I expect lots of people already attempt to sell it with very low price.
I have found only matching search on opensea related to these Enjin Giraffe collection and he has listed them at very high price so the chances of selling out is low if they are getting it for free with CMC diamonds.

Enjin Giraffe Opensea

But as you said there are some who can even buy your shit art for millions having no utility at all for just making PFP in your social media accounts.

It looks like I missed some drama here  Cheesy
Not only haters, Many companies often use this kind of dirty tactics to drag down their competitors so it is not surprising if this is some kind of propaganda to tarnish Roobet's reputation.  But well, as long as the accusation is invalid and has no supporting fact, then it will be easily forgotten. 
But the fact is if you don't have enough proof to validate your point then it's of no fun and you could open as many scam accusations thread against that casino their reputation remains unaffected.There could be some problems but if you have evidence and there is technical error the the withdrawal is settled down.But to these haters or people who just come here hoping they can defame the image of Roobet or any other legit casino they are not entertained at all.
