When I used links to my own sites in my sig, I always got a lot of traffic from it. But, I can say that I have never personally clicked on someones sig link.

I guess it is relative as a faucet user if you "profit" or not. If you are already on the computer, and do not value your time....any amount greater than 0 is profiting. You will not get rich by a long shot....but thats not what faucets are for anyways.


If you are a faucet operator and have an adsense account, you can profit, but still not much(by American standards). One of the problems with running a faucet is most of your traffic will come from countries that adsense does not really care about, 20 unique clicks from Indonesia can net as little as $0.20 total(0.01/click). Another issue you run into is fraudulent adsense activity. A lot of users will think they are doing you a favor by clicking on ads repeatedly, but this just shows as invalid activity in your adsense account.....and if too much of it happens they will shut down your account and ban you for the future.

If you guys know what happen to that flappy bird or similar game where you earn coins was banned from PlayStore as it is against their policies.Speaking of which ,your gambling games or such apps won't be allowed to host on play store and even if initially they do it,eventually they will ban the game (app)!The alternative would be something like LuckyBtc Casino's mobile games which are hosted on HTML 5 and works smooth on any browser.

Here's the link :  https://www.luckybtccasino.com/#topmenu

An app does not need to be in the playstore for it to be functional. There are plenty of apps that are only available directly from the manufacturer.

Why does it take 10 business days to payout a win?

There is a thread regarding it here -

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1315396.0

Can you prove that you have the funds to payout winners? I think people who gamble there would like to know that FortuneJack is solvent.

They have paid over 140 btc to another huge winner before and the process took alot of time as well so this means that this is just their standard procedure in dealing with huge winner since there is always a chance that the winner could be using a fraud way to win at the casino

Fraud in a Live Roulette game? Pretty sure that's not possible.

Just looks like they're not confident with their systems or they lack the funds to pay out right away. Either way, as long as I get my BTC soon, I'm fine with waiting. I just don't know if I'll be using them again if it is always going to be like this.

Dear ethandelong,

We wrote you several times here, as well as through LiveChat, you have to comprehend and respect our procedures that we have to undergo. We have paid out much higher amount to other players in the past without causing any problems. Once again, please refrain from posting negative comments about our credibility and have a patience to wait, as we said the procedure takes 10 business days.  Thank you and have a great weekend.




But the question is why does it take 10 business days? I am wondering the same thing myself. I would never want to play at a BTC gamble site knowing that if I win anything substantial, I will have to wait 10 days to get paid, this is pretty ridiculous without you giving us reasons behind it.

I don't really understand why "fraud prevention" or whatever would have to be involved at all. It seems like a line to just buy some time. I have never used FJ, but sites I have used(like just-dice), have almost instant, if not instant withdrawals.

208  Economy / Gambling / Re: SatoshiDICE.com - The World's Most Popular Bitcoin Game on: January 04, 2016, 12:07:06 AM
Newbie question - can anyone explain me why there is a disparity between what I can see on my Satoshidice account and what is visible on the blockchain?

Example:
I deposit 1 BTC to satoshidice on deposit address A and leave the account untouched.
Next day, I can see the balance is correct - still 1 BTC in there but according to blockchain all my deposit
account has already been spent several times.

Then I make a bet - and the result is only shown on website; nothing is shown on the blockchain itself.

I am not afraid of losing anything Grin But why the disparity between blockchain and the website? Has SatoshiDice always worked that way?

Because the balance on your deposit address is a completely different thing than the "balance" shown on the site. When you deposit and it gets confirmed, you get equal value "credits" to use on the site. You are not actually betting tiny bits of BTC somehow each roll, just credits.

Where's the wallet coming from and why did he chose to crash the price the way he did instead playing the game calmly and earning more that way?

He did not admit to where it was from, but suspicions seem to be that it was a wallet used for cheating faucets.

I missed or do not understand this part of the story. What is the allegation as far as cheating faucets goes?



A I wrong in assuming most of these addresses were funded from faucets originally? When the digging started I had analyzed a few of the addresses, and that is the conclusion I came to. Looking over the 2 addresses you signed, I am still under the same assumption.

I won't say, but wouldn't it be so sad if I was just scamming faucet payouts for tiny amounts of bitcoin. And those faucets payout didn't make me much but it made me a ton of clams!

Oh wow. Interesting. Did he provide proof? Where's the wallet coming from and why did he chose to crash the price the way he did instead playing the game calmly and earning more that way?

Guess the recent talk of stopping the digging ability of clams was the next bad result coming from that wooden hammer method he used.

He signed 2 messages from 2 of the addresses.

Is anyone able to sync successfully using the current client?

I find that it syncs for a little way (a few days worth of blocks) but gets slower and slower with a lot of crap like this in the debug.log:

Code:

I can stop it and restart it which gets another few days of blocks but then it gets clogged again before too long.




I had this problem as well on various versions of the client. I blamed it on "bad nodes", and limited max connections to 5-10. It usually worked after that.

I have this interesting though that the digger actually might be someone from cryptsy. We all know they have some problems at the moment and the timing when they first stopped paying people kinda fits into when our whale digger starts digging. Now Iam not that smart to do this but cannot someone figure out how we could verify this, for example by tying someones address from cryptsy to address that has been dug by our whale?

That does not fit at all with the MO of the addresses used.....for many reasons.

Was hoping your offer would get more traction.

Participation has increased dramatically! (from zero to one)



   That's a 100% increase...  Cheesy


Percentages only apply to numbers greater than or less than 0. 100% increase of 0 is still 0.

[snip]

I can try to convince you of the timescales. At 2015-11-13 22:51:23 the digger dug the following addresses: [x9NXaGSz] [xA9338mM] [xPWEDmTS] [xEZKQHEU] [xPosuwLa] [xNNwmVoL] [xXL7bZ5s], all of which were funded in block 5763. Click each link and check which block the addresses were funded in, and which block they were emptied in. Before that he was working on block 5764, and so on back up to the newest distribution block. If you were to dig from block 9999 back to block 5764, you would have dug 38.32% of all the distribution CLAMs. Since the whale digger's CLAMs are uniformly distributed through the initial distribution we can say with pretty good certainty that he is around 38% of the way through digging the wallet he's currently working on.

[snip]

How do you know the whale digger dug those particular addresses, and is there a way to find which Bitcoin, Litecoin or Dogecoin addresses correspond to those clam addresses?

Is there a way to get a list of all the addresses this particular whale digger has already claimed his clams from?

Is there a way to get a list of all the addresses this particular whale digger can potentially claim clams from in the future?


I have searched this thread, the clams website, the clams github, and the internet for a list of the Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoin addresses whose snapshots were used in the clams distribution without success. Is there a list of those distribution addresses available?

I also searched the early blocks in the block explorer, but couldn't find any Bitcoin, Litecoin or Dogecoin addresses. Where are those addresses in the clams blockchain?


I researched answers to these two queries some more and discovered different coins have a different version byte stored in their address, which explains how a clam address can have the same private key as a bitcoin address, but both addresses will be different. Were the Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoin snapshot addresses converted to clams format before they were placed in the clams blockchain? Is that why I can't find any Bitcoin, Litecoin or Dogecoin addresses in there?


I was wondering whether it's possible to find out whether a particular Bitcoin address has any CLAMS associated with it without having to have access to the private key.

The helpful folks on the #clams IRC channel told me it is - you can convert from Bitcoin address to CLAMS address without needing the private key.

Here's one way of doing it, using the "python-bitcoinlib" library:

$ git clone https://github.com/jgarzik/python-bitcoinlib.git

Not exactly unbiased to claim that Clam would die if we changed the rules, coming from someone that is gaming the current system to make $100,000s..

It's pretty unbiased. Changing rules for Clam will not have any affect on me liquidating my clams. You can't make the change without a hardfork and you need at least a couple weeks (if not months) to do the hardfork. I can always accelerate my digging if that's the case. Which you can see, I'm doing right now.

A I wrong in assuming most of these addresses were funded from faucets originally? When the digging started I had analyzed a few of the addresses, and that is the conclusion I came to. Looking over the 2 addresses you signed, I am still under the same assumption.
