I wouldn't fully blame the mixer ban for all this, even if it likely contributed.  But, you're completely right, Bitcointalk feels like it has lost its excitement.

The talks just dont grab attention like they once did.  My feeling is that genuine development and debate over real projects is lacking these days. The Altcoins section is mostly full of scams and shitcoins and Bitcoin technical discussion rarely touches on anything new.

The reputation of the community and the ecosystem is very damaged. You have noticed that correct?

The BTC ecosystem/reputation obviously needs repairs, do you have an opinion on how/what to do ASAP? 

I don't really agree with what you're saying here.  I'm not convinced Bitcoins reputation actually needs any "repairs" or anything - I mean, on what grounds are you saying that's obvious it does?

Seems to me its reputation as a secure way to store value is still pretty solid.  Sure, there's stuff like scalability that's tricky to figure out.  But the basic ideas behind it are still good. Going on about repairing its reputation doesn't seem that productive really. Scams are still way more common with fiat money than with Bitcoin.


On the contrary. I noticed how some bad actors give the whole thing a bad name.  But, the reputation of the Bitcoin ecosystem has always been under fire from folks who don't understand it or who benefit from the status quo.  This isn't anything new. But seriously damaged reputation? Nah, not in my experience.

Especially with all the big institutional money flooding in lately, and even Bitcoin ETFs getting approved.  That's actually changing some minds around here even among the biggest haters I know.  So, I gotta ask, what kind of bad reputation are you even hearing about?

  • We make an appeal to anybody who has made a deposit to share their experience. Currently there are no withdrawals behind schedule.

No one else confirms it after this? I know Cantsay confirmed it before this message but with all the hype I was expecting more people. Although people usually make more noise to protest than when everything is going well.

In any case, it seems to me that anonbet.net has had a shaky start but that they are making an effort to do things right.

Keep trying to improve, OP, there are many very fruitful casinos in this section and it is to be welcomed that there is a new non-kyc initiative, there are less and less of them left.

I can confirm that I actually managed to snag a small withdrawal from free spins on Anonbet.  It wasn't a huge amount, but it came through without any issues. I don't remember exactly when I requested the withdrawal, but I was pleasantly surprised today when I saw the funds in my wallet.  Maybe others are waiting for their withdrawals too.

You're right, Anonbet seems to be putting in the effort despite the shaky start, which is good to see.  And it seems they might be manually checking transactions due to past abuse attempts, but at least mine went through.

Our platform was not supposed to be mobile friendly, as we are privacy-first and there is honestly no privacy on almost any mobile device, but we have been considering making it mobile-friendly for people in countries that are not regulated as much. For now, turning your phone sideways should make it friendlier.

I get why privacy matters to you, but saying there's straight up no privacy on phones seems like an overstatement.  You've got fair worries about privacy and mobile access not mixing well, but I don't think its so cut and dry and  the way I see it, I can lock down my phone just as tight as my laptop since VPNs and Tor work fine on mobile.  And tons of folks mostly use the web on their phones nowadays.  Not offering mobile access could leave out a big chunk of potential users for your thing.

Folks, I get that some people just want attention.  We've all wanted to be noticed, and some go about it the wrong way.  I think we'd do better to focus on sincere questions and lend a hand there when we can and  when someone's plainly messing around not engaging is probably the wisest move. The mods should lock this thread now - there is no point in discussing this anymore.
There are several threads created by OP on this forum, where he always let very clear he is an avid gambler who takes big risks and enjoys placing heavy bets. I don't know what is true and what is fake on his stories, but it's always something which fascinate many users here, as we keep imagining how that can be legit and what would be the impacts of such bets in someone's life for real.

It's intriguing to think someone is willing to place 1 million dollars into a single bet, while he could just split it into many minor parts to bet on different events, decreasing his chances of losing this entire bankroll in one shoot, at least.

However, we shouldn't neglect the fact there are very wealthy people in this world who wouldn't bother at all losing a few million dollars just for fun... It's a same world with very different personal realities containing on it.

Yeah, that's true.  The OP definitely throws out some wild stories that are hard to believe at times.  And I believe it has already been mentioned that there is evidence that some of his screenshots are manipulated and fake. That's why I don't believe any of his stories, because if he lied once, chances are he's lying about other things as well.

It is fascinating to think about someone putting everything on one bet, though.  Like you said, some people have the means to absorb a big loss. For them, the thrill might outweigh the big financial risk.
26  Economy / Gambling / Re: House Edge on: May 18, 2024, 08:25:48 PM
           -   Is that 2% deducted by the house edge from all casino players for every bet they make with a game provider? So does this mean that, win or lose,
the house always has a cut on everything a gambler bets?

If I look at it, it seems that a casino is similar to the management done by a crypto exchange, where it has a percentage profit for every trade performed by a trader.
That's why house most of the time wins in the games.
Did you mean like, if I bet $1 and the game has 2% house edge, what I bet is actually $0.98 instead of $1? no it doesn't like that because when you win, the reward you get is calculated by amount of your bet * multipliers/odds.

We can feel how small of big the house edge if we gamble for long, like 10,000x bets or more, if you only bet for 100x times, the house edge won't really affect your bankroll.

     -    Oh I see, thanks for the information you gave me. At least now I know that somehow I don't think about that anymore, when I play gambling in any casino here in the crypto gambling business. As long as I make a deposit, it's a game, and that's just what I always do.

But for me, it's normal for sure that this system is used by all casinos, right? Because this is a business and not a charity, they just provide entertainment for gamblers so that they can have a win or income when they are lucky enough to bet on any games they have.

Casinos, even crypto ones, have to generate revenue somehow, and that's where the house edge comes in - it's the built-in margin that gives them a statistical advantage.  This edge varies between games - blackjack tends to be more player-friendly while slots may be more heavily stacked for the house.  You can still win in small samples regardless of the edge, but over time, as you place more and more wagers, it'll gradually grind down your bankroll, and will catch up to you eventually - even if youre lucky for a bit.

Just contact their customer support and request the procedure for you to provide the requested information.
He clearly mentioned that he contacted them after which they asked him for his passport which he doesn't have at the moment.

This was already a few weeks ago, and since the OP mentioned it takes about two weeks to renew their passport, it's possible he has already completed KYC verification with a valid document. We simply don't know yet because OP hasn't been active on the forum recently.

Welcome to the forum, anonbet. net! I wanted to provide some feedback on your site's design.  As others mentioned, the user interface feels a bit cluttered right now, making things confusing to navigate and  have you considered a redesign that streamlines things? Responsive design would also allow the site to adapt nicely across screen sizes - crucial with so much mobile usage these days.  If the platform isn't intuitive and easy to use on phones you risk losing players.  Just some thoughts to ponder that could help take the user experience up a notch.

Excited to see where you take this!

Your posts are being deleted because they blatantly violate forum rules.  Have you even bothered to read them?  Here's a thought, genius: read the rules before you embarrass yourself further.  Otherwise, you'll keep getting tossed in the moderation bin, clueless as to why.
33  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Anyone here who retired with Gambling winnings ? on: May 17, 2024, 09:20:59 PM
I have often seen stories about those who won big winnings, and that after 1 year or more they had nothing left but debts. This happened because they did not count their money and disposed of it unwisely. As for me, I have never won large jackpots, but I don’t play often. I haven’t yet retired with winnings, but if I win a big jackpot, I’m almost sure that I’ll quit gambling forever. Although almost all players probably think this way, when in reality this happens, many continue to play no matter what. Because they don’t know what they’re doing or they want to win the same amount again, but they will pay a high price for this endless greed. And as you know, the luckiest people are those who don’t think about anything and take everything lightly.

You ain't wrong! - those mega lottery jackpots seem amazing but can actually complicate things.  For me, I just gamble now and then for fun, not to get rich quick or anything.  Though no doubt, if I did hit it big one day I'd probably rethink my whole relationship with gambling afterwards!

As for the luckiest people being the ones who take life easy - I'm torn on that and  you need some balance; doing a little planning and budgeting is never a bad idea, even if you mostly just go with the flow.  Moderation's usually the way to go.  But I also believe in leaving room for some spontaneity and fun too - no need to overthink everything either.
34  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does destiny has influence in the amount we can win in gamble? on: May 17, 2024, 07:12:47 PM
What is destiny, if I may ask? Is it luck?

No on is destined to be a gambler and definitely no one is destined to win big in gambling. Anyone who thinks that "destiny" is involved in gambling win should provide statistics, research, reports, and stories that collaborates it. I will be interested to read it.

Quote
Is it what it is or it's just a fallacy?
My belief is that "destiny" or any sort "supernatural" meaning attached to it.

Good question! This debate about whether luck or skill determines gambling outcomes has been around forever.  Basically there's two ways of looking at it. 

On one side, you got believers in free will.  They say if you study the odds enough and have a solid strategy, you ultimately control how much you win or lose.  It comes down to making choices - like managing your money properly. 

Then there's the destiny camp and  to them, your fate kinda predetermined whether you'll hit it big or go home broke.  Maybe you were born lucky at the tables.  Or the universe has other plans for you.   

Wanna know what I think? Those concepts were dreamed up by people long ago to explain weird stuff they couldnt understand yet - like how ghosts or spirits affected everyday life.  Today we got science to make sense of things that used to seem supernatural.  So I'm still figuring out where I stand on this whole luck versus skill thing, but in general I'm more inclined to believe concrete evidence and things like coincidence rather than fate or destiny.
35  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Concerns grow over online gambling among teens on: May 17, 2024, 06:59:01 PM
I definitely agree that schools should educate teenagers about the risks of gambling.  Just as they offer warnings about smoking, they oughta do the same when it comes to gambling apps and websites that are so easy to access on phones these days.  A lot of kids view these things as harmless entertainment and figure it's easy money, but gambling can become a serious issue before you even realize it and

Like that guy said, most teens are oblivious to the downsides here.  Schools have a responsibility to reveal the realities about gambling to students before it's too late.  And for real maybe even some adults could use a reminder about this stuff too.  The marketing for these gambling sites can be pretty deceiving with all those ads everywhere.
36  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where are you hyper focus, online casinos or physical casinos on: May 17, 2024, 06:37:37 PM
Physical casinos do not have clocks or windows on the gaming floor, and they offer free drinks like wine energy drinks, and food so the gamblers will be hyper focused this is why gamblers spend hours without even knowing they have already spent, while online casinos offer free spins, rakeback, and cashback so you can continue to play to level up to enjoy these perks.

You're right, both physical and online casinos use strategies to keep you playing longer - it's all about trying to make you lose track of time, and money.  Online casinos can be worse cuz they're faster paced and so easy to access.  Just a tap on your phone or click on the computer and you're in, so you dont got that physical barrier to maybe make you stop like at a real casino.

I feel like with online ones, since getting money out or putting it in is pretty simple, it's a lot easier to keep playing without thinking.  And those sites load so quick and games go so fast next thing you know hours passed.  At least with real casinos you gotta move around and see real people occasionally instead of just staring at a screen losing track of everything else.

And you complain about Paker Player's feedback on your profile? This statement alone justifies the negative trust tag. It is obvious that you are completely ignorant and don't understand how he, and many other members like him, are crucial in the fight against scams in this community.

Likewise, someone earlier said something about a rug-pull... who would waste such a genius idea on a rug pool?

Who in their right mind would waste time on such a stupid idea, like the long-forgotten bitcoin doublers, and similar "guaranteed make money" ponzi schemes, and call them "genius" ideas?
38  Economy / Reputation / Re: Users like Poker Player must be stopped! on: May 16, 2024, 08:25:38 PM
Uh.. I never asked you to try the platforms. My argument, was never a means to lure you in. Likewise, I never insinuated for you to 'try it yourself', I am working on a new update that remodels the system, making it more reliable.

Even though, I operate the platforms, I still would not advise you play, as the gambling technology is new. It is bound to have bugs, it is only version 1.

A few weeks back you were bragging about thousands of players, and now you're saying it's not even good for playing?  And, you're lying about not luring new players in. Everything you've done so far on this forum is the exact opposite.

Just speaking in terms of innovation I have progressed the gambling environment, in many ways.

How exactly? It looks like a cheap knock-off lottery system, just like a thousand other boring sites out there. Only difference is, yours is uglier. Like we're in the 1990s again!
It's not even provably fair, and you've shown that you don't even know what that means.

But like I said, as of right now, I cannot advise anyone, operate with version 1 of the Unlimited Money Generator.

Which is why I am not promoting it either.

That's not true. You posted this just two days ago:

Unlimited Money Generator is not just gambling, it is a guaranteed source of revenue, if functioning correctly.

Cut the crap already. You're not only cluttering this place with nonstop promotion for your platform, but you're also peddling blatant lies with those baseless claims.
39  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Be careful with people's money on: May 16, 2024, 07:45:54 PM
I have read many news that someone will mismanage people's money. I read one about a university student some years ago that gambled with the money contributed by his course mates. The main reason that is causing the money mismanagement is either trading or gambling, but I read more about gambling online. Some can be because of other reasons.
I see no reason why you should use the money kept in your custody for anything. Both trading and gambling are not things you should think you can do and make quick money from easily, so don’t risk money kept in your custody for things like this. Most people think when they trade, they can easily make money from it, so when money is kept with them, they will always want to make use of the opportunity, but they don’t know trading is not that easy, things can easily go against them, and they will be losing money.
 
Also, gambling is not something that should be done for the sake of money, if you are gambling, there are always higher chances of losing money. Don’t be too confident with your bet, anything can happen when gambling, so make sure you use your money to gamble, and it should be done with any amount you can afford to lose.

Yeah, the money isn't yours to begin with.  That's the thing - you're meant to be taking care of it, not treating it like a gamble. 

I get why people think playing the markets or gambling seems like some golden ticket.  But that glossy fantasy rarely matches reality and  more often than not, its just a roll of the dice and people get overconfident and then, poof! Their cash vanishes faster than a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat.  Absolutely stupid.

Best thing is stick to handling the money properly and carefully like you're supposed to.  No tricks or gambles.  Just responsibility.
