2041  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Fryx Finance - An open-source Monero/Bitcoin exchange with %0 trading fees. on: January 04, 2023, 10:47:05 PM
I see that you need to add many things to the exchange, for example the price of Bitcoin and Monero because it is constantly changing as you know, also it would be good to add price charts.
It would also be nice to add the possibility to connect the hard wallet and make the exchange with the wallet directly.

Your site is currently not like a decentralized exchange, and it is not like a P2p exchange either.
As mentioned above, OP wants more the integration of its platform to get used as a partnered exchange other than to get used as an actual exchange. So these features are not necessary.
For the time being, more information on the website on How-to to get things done is the most important. Also, making it more looking descent i mean your UI can attract partners. Of course, the most important is functionality of being as a partnered exchange.
2042  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: I'm starting an exchange | Need some help with features/ideas on: January 04, 2023, 10:28:02 PM
So this is just another instant exchange? Do you require KYC? Doe fees varies from coins to coins, OR just depends on you, OR it depends on the partner exchange?

KYC and fees are the ones that concern users why they choose to use an instant exchange instead on traditional cex, so what your take on this.

Btw being an open source is a good decision too. Also, welcome to the forum.

And what if I want to send from another wallet? Am I excluded because only 1 of my wallets are registered or not?
It's a good question, but unfortunately the instructions are incomplete, so I'm not sure if the address the funds are sent from matters or not. It's possible that it doesn't matter, but without more information, it's hard to say for certain. The only way to know for sure might be to try it and see what happens.
It does not matter if i understand correctly, since the winner will be identified on what betting address has the most balance in the end on the set block.
So anyone can send btc on the betting address and winner will receive all the sent btc from all of the betting address (or from anywhere else) minus the host fee to the winners payout address.
This is all assuming since there's no rules mentioning that its not allowed.

For me, the safe casinos in crypto gambling are the only ones you can find here in this forum that ran signature campaigns, especially those that are still active today
Not necessarily. Many crypto companies used to promote their services on this forum via signature campaigns then they exit scammed. Some still have an active sig campaign although we all know they are scammers. If you are going to rely on this then better judge based on the person managing the campaign, if he is a reputable member and an experienced manager then chances are low that he would accept to cooperate with a scam company/project.
I bet he is referring to those campaign who are still active today from running a long time. And yes, managers has a lot to do with it, reputed managers temporary stop or just end the campaign when there is a huge scam accusation against the advertised company.
But users experience and current reputation of a casino should be the one that future users should see and check to avoid inconvenience and future problem.

So cloud mining is still a thing, ha. I wonder users from this forum will still be interested on such stuff. Especially for genesis mining which is obviously a waste of time. Never had an ROI there even for how many months of waiting. Probably only those who can refer other users is the only thing you can make an ROI.
2047  Other / Meta / Re: Theymos is living the high life; BitcoinTalk is inaccessible without JavaScript on: January 03, 2023, 01:05:03 PM
I'm not sure why you need CloudFlare when the profit from advertising is more than enough to rent entire serve racks.  Is BitcoinTalk's revenue being siphoned off?
That would also not surprise me.
The implementation[1] of cloudflare is to fight with DDoS, that's why javascript is required, besides the forum doesn't serve ads anymore.
Also, read the reasons on the linked thread why he implemented cloudflare even though he hates it, also the reason why he didnt implement/maintain forum's own ddos protection.

First of all, as it is a service thread, there might be a few negative comments and you may delete that negative comments. Why you posted such a self-moderated topic?
It’s to prevent off-topic replies. If there was any negative feedback we would do everything to resolve them instead of deleting them. As you may know, you can also see all deleted messages in history. This topic has no deleted messages.

Honestly, self-moderated topic is not a big deal now it was made for a reason. Deleted replies can be seen on the ninjastic.space's archive[1], anyone who has an issue regarding of deleted replies on specific thread can create a separate thread on reputation board or even on scam accusation.

2050  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Old phone as cold storage? on: January 02, 2023, 11:56:02 PM
I guess this is much better than a hot wallet but still not as secure as true cold storage such as Electrum on an air-gapped PC.
Well, all DIY-made stuffs have always its cons. But an unused, updated android patch security, stock rom, and using it while in safe mode android phones is a bit good option for a cold storage stuff (or if there's a alternate word/term for it than using cold-storage) and better than other web/hot wallets out there.
2051  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Tips: encourage your customers to pay with bitcoin on: January 02, 2023, 11:02:23 PM
  • Offer a discount for customers who pay with Bitcoin. This could be a percentage off their purchase, or a fixed amount if they use Bitcoin to pay.
I don't know how much discount you can offer to still remain relevant and gainish in the market. We don't because we want to accept bitcoin and run into losses.
Instead of giving discount to people paying with Bitcoin, you can opt to take care of the transaction fee which could be the reason some people will avoid paying with bitcoin, especially people paying from exchanges.
Indeed, despite of being mentioned already about lightning implementation for a business accepting bitcoin payments, OP  still not adding lightning in the OP while talking on how members can suggest to improve the main post.

Taking a 30%-40% profit margin from a product will not harm the business if it only provides a 10% discount for bitcoin payments.
Where did you get these numbers? Have you tried to run a business?
Most retails only profits for 10% or even lesser for every product, for restaurants 20% profit is already high for every food they sell. Giving 10% discount will hurt the business despite of making an initiative for bitcoin implementation.

You may give discounts only for old stocks, near expiry, products that were not sold for longer time. The rest will only give you bad result than good.

Most people knows bitcoin already. At the time like this, in customer's point of view, i will hold my bitcoin instead of using it for purchase.
For a business, making a "we accept bitcoin (/lightning) payment" sign with a QR code either in a paper or digital screen is enough to encourage customers to pay with bitcoin if they want to, others are not necessary, discounts are just optional.
2052  Economy / Services / Re: Help Needed on: January 02, 2023, 03:44:09 PM
Since it was an .exe file, did you happen to installed the .exe file? Or open it? If not, good, try to delete the file (shift+delete) and full scan your computer with an anti-virus.
If it was unfortunately installed, try to uninstall it on your program list, although i dont know if its enough but do it asap, full scan your AV and do things that is recommended by your AV, or the least i could think is to reset your pc.

Here's the twitter post[1] if people will mind.

I dont know if the guy is trolling, or not. But if its true, its morr than of 211 Bitcoin was stolen to this address[2]. He is one of bitcoin core developer, right? I wonder what wallet he is using, surely if its a hardware wallet the chance it getting compromised is low.
Also, as said, PGP is compromised too looks like the device was the one being targeted.

More particularly, this rule only rules on Alternate cryptocurrencies[1] board and its sub boards not on gambling related boards. Although maybe @theymos and global mods (@hilariousandco) can enlighten us about this as well.
Also here are one of the cons breaking the rules.
That is very much not allowed. The threads are trashed, the poster is banned for 60 days, everyone who participated is banned for 3 days, and everyone who participated cannot display a signature for 30 days.

2055  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is playing national lottery smart or waste of time? on: January 01, 2023, 03:47:20 PM
I  also consider it a waste of money and time...

If we'll total her total betting amount, it would be huge enough for her to out up a business. I don't think it's a wise or even smart move because I could feel that most bettors are putting too much hope in it.
That's what almost everyone talks or lines talking to a lottery bettor or to a gambler.
 
While it will only be a waste of money when you prioritize your betting than your needs, or particularly speaking when you are not enjoying or getting excited betting, assuming people do this for entertainment, for gambling addiction better to take from professional advice.

Now, if you are indeed serious of talking of such line on every lottery bettor or simply to any gambler, then this board might not good for you, because most here will oppose of that statement considering most people here do gambling for how many years.

2056  Economy / Exchanges / Re: [Warning] 3Commas API keys leaked! on: January 01, 2023, 02:48:05 PM
According to their latest Tweet, it does not seem like an inside job after they did their investigation. But it is unclear if the lack of evidence is the result of no inside job or simply a good job from the cracker to clean their history. Not really a good look at their image after they told their users that they got phished.
I still doubt its the case, no company will admit that it's one of them, it's mentioned in the article that a third party disclosed/leak the APIs, so what's the third party to be exact? They are now redirecting blames to others instead of being sorry and claim the responsibility and refund their users. Well, its the same ceo who immediately blamed their users for being phished and hacked after reporting the case to them.
2057  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is playing national lottery smart or waste of time? on: January 01, 2023, 02:25:42 PM
I wont call it a waste of time, either waste of money its very cheap to participate actually, well, in my country, yes. Although i wont call it a smart move either.

It's true that doing gambling will give you higher odds for getting a win, but nothing compare to a winning of a jackpot prize from the lottery.
2058  Economy / Gambling / Re: Coinballer - An open-source multi-player Bitcoin gambling game. on: January 01, 2023, 02:45:45 AM
Or some will make their multiple accounts to participate the game.
How can the OP make sure that there will be no cheating on this game?
Also, with what is happening these days, how can you trust the word of an anonymous person?
Assuring no rug pull will happen if he will be holding a significant amount of money.
Making multiple accounts won't give benefits the cheaters of whatever you call them for this game since only one who will win – the one with biggest bets of the day.

About the holding of funds, it depends on the reputation of OP and the site, its like doing escrow here, which needs of time to allocate to make a good reputation – its all about trust. Which i think is need risks knowing there are escrows or services who runs its users funds after building its reputation.
If something a smart contract can do about the holding and dispersing the funds to the winner, it will be a great feature.
2059  Economy / Gambling / Re: Coinballer - An open-source multi-player Bitcoin gambling game. on: December 31, 2022, 08:34:26 PM
Please anybody let me know if there's anything else I can do to increase my reputation.
Unfortunately, you cant fasten this process, but being actively posting here your updates, doing trades to anyone, as well as following some recommendations to your site, fixing/solving issues, etc. can help. Well, also running a signature campaign which i saw that you already did will also build reputation of someone else business/service here.
2060  Other / Meta / Re: What one change would you like to see in bitcointalk in 2023 on: December 30, 2022, 10:59:05 PM
My only wish is to have an update for Epochtalk - a new forum software. As far as I know, since the last update, the new software was mostly done.
Damn, everyone is deadly waiting for this, i really wish it will be available in the next year. But, but I saw the repository's[1] last commit was way back 2021? So what development happened for this year?
If this is nearly done, announcing it for testing phase(on https://beta.bitcointalk.org/) will be the best thing theymos could ever done for the whole decade (as this development is nearly decade) next to deploying it.
