Fortunejack's well known in the community, and we've got a sizeable userbase with many games that are probably fair. The site also accepts basically every major cryptocurrency, like XMR, BTC, LTC, ETH, etc, so you're likely already eligible to play if you hold crypto. The only downside I have noticed from playing is that there's no mobile site (there used to be), but it's not a big deal as the site features big buttons and everything's extremely navigable. Can't hurt to give it a spin.

I have also used Nitrogensports in the past for betting on esports matches, namely CS:GO matches, and their site is also excellent in navigation and usability. Their casino is also decent, though I haven't played on it as much as I have bet on esports there. No real complaints with them for me.

I personally use Gmail and Yahoo for sending and receiving information, but I do know of people that use Protonmail for security. I don't store anything important on my Gmail like passwords or sensitive information, and I have both 2FA and a long password on all the Gmail accounts I own for as much security as possible.

In the end, it's up to you. I've noticed Protonmail and encrypted email providers becoming more and more popular throughout the last year, but I haven't tried it yet as Gmail and Yahoo are good enough for me at the moment.

I've seen several countries in the Carribbean, like Curacao, being used because of their last policies towards crypto gambling and low costs for a gambling site. Malta's also another popular one that most people are aware of, I'm sure. If you want more examples, just go to any online crypto casino here and scroll down to the bottom of their webpage. You'll find the country they're based in there.

GB is a huge crypto Ponzi target, partially because of how easy it is to create a fake company and all there. Most Ponzis claiming to be incorporated and insured will be located somewhere in GB as a result.

The best part of the story is that these cards will likely still have a use, most likely in budget gaming builds if the price for these cards is right, so hopefully these cards won't be packaged and stored in a dusty basement never to be seen again. It's still incredible to me how powerful the Tahiti cards really were and still are today, even with their stock wattage being somewhat high, and Tahiti was also the generation that forced Nvidia to up their game in the mid-range and drop prices a bit for cards like the 770. Truly a great generation!

I know Alza is an electronics retailer based in the Czech Republic, but that's about it for sites that haven't been mentioned yet that I know of.

Spendabit might help jog your memory if you're trying to remember a site that sells electronics in exchange for BTC. Searching the prompt 'Laptop' or anything computer-related should come up with a few results. Most of the results seem to be for American sites like Overstock and Newegg, but like what people have mentioned above, it is possible to reship items over to Europe. Just make sure you're ready to provide ID in case the reship requests it. My best experiences have been with shipito.com and UsGoBuy for reshipping.

If you want to save a bit of money, it is also possible to just get a PicoPSU powering all your components besides the GPU (and even an entire PC if your computer's low wattage). Here's an example listing from eBay.

By buying a PicoPSU, you can buy a straight server PSU with a breakout board with just 6-pin connectors and you can save compared to a larger ATX PSU that's more expensive and probably going to have more capacity than you'll ever for powering just board components (if you're going for a server+ATX setup). They save space and are real neat gadgets to have even besides that- I have a tiny HTPC build in my house that I power with a PicoPSU, and as a result of that I didn't have to get a special smaller and more expensive form factor PSU just to fit the case I had on hand.

I see. If you're willing to sell your cards online shipped, it is possible to go to the Computer Hardware section and make a listing for your cards (only accept buyers willing to make an escrowed transaction in this case). If you do things right, there's little risk and you can select what methods of payment you want in exchange for your cards, and you'll get good amounts of site traffic to your listing. Just a suggestion, I myself have sold lots of hardware through the forums and I've never gotten burned like if I had sold through eBay or any other online marketplace.

Thanks for the raffle!

Glad I discovered this browsing through the first time in days

Why would you keep mining at a loss when you could just sell your GPUs and buy in at market price? When you're mining at a loss, you're essentially buying coins above market level and it makes better sense to just pull the plug and buy in whatever coin you're mining (ETH in this case) and just hold until you want to sell, and you won't be left with dead, useless cards on your hands.

Additionally, if you're going to CPU mine on a desktop, make sure your heatsink is capable of dissipating the heat the your CPU is generating in the process of mining. If your case can fit one, there are cheap and effective tower heatsinks out there that do the job just fine, as well as lower-profile coolers, or you can even try to reapply thermal paste on a CPU if it's old- the paste will probably be crusty and not as useful if it is indeed old.

Also try to remove dust whenever possible with compressed air and a q-tip or cloth. Dust is a huge factor in temps.

I see it continuing in the future at the least. It's an alternative to ads,  which can be somewhat distracting when you're trying to browse a page, and I personally haven't noticed anything too bad in regards to temps and CPU usage when I've gone on sites with browser miners in the past. CPU mining isn't too profitable as a whole, and even less so when you're talking about using the power that a browser miner has, but if a site brings in lots of visitors (like PirateBay), it is possible that the site could be supported by that alone. Adblockers are starting to implement ways to block browser miners, though.

If you're talking about mining for a profit through your browser, though, you might as well forget about it. Even the most powerful CPUs don't make a lot after electrical costs, and you're better off with a GPU or ASIC if you want to seriously mine.

It is, but an exchange address could change at any time (thus you might lose mining rewards), and it's always best to first withdraw the coins you mine (BTC in the case of Nicehash) to a wallet which you personally control the private key of, and then transfer it to an exchange. You do incur some transaction fees, but you minimize the risk of lost funds this way.

A web wallet can work for this purpose, but make sure you create a long and unique password for it, and don't store too many funds on the web wallet. Web wallets aren't good for cold storage as they have many security vulnerabilities, and hardware and paper wallets are best for cold storage.

As a precaution, try not to gamble on sites that don't have checkers to ensure that a game is probably fair unless you trust the site and you're okay with the game potentially being rigged. It's extremely difficult to make sure that a game is legit without such a checker, and most sites should have probably fair checkers in at least half of their games.

A review doesn't really mean anything if there isn't a way to easily make sure a game is not rigged. Without a checker, every game could be rigged or every game could be fair- you just don't know unless there's solid evidence. The most easy way to avoid fixed games is to go to a site that offers the game you want to play, with some way of checking whether or not the game is rigged.

How do we know that the site is legit from the word of a completely new member with two posts that has posted no proof of purchase or receipt of any mining hardware? If you're going to say that something is legit, back it up with proof or your word is worthless.

 If you choose to provide evidence, take a picture of your miner with a piece of paper stating your username and the date you took the picture or else we can logically only assume the site is likely a scam unless someone else posts proof that this site isn't.

I'll just do more research and see if anything like that's happening with Stackry, I'm pretty sure the mass refunding for Google started near January but picked up pretty massively about one or two months ago and it's gone down since as a result of Google changing their terms of service to prevent people from SEing the Pixels, so perhaps things will change in the future. I live in the US anyways, though, so I can get any package straight to my door without any need for reshipping.

Depends whether or not you are okay with possible verification in the form of an ID, but I've found that a service like shipito.com or reship.com works well. Vykingship.com is also a pretty decent American reshipper, but they do request for verification which is a bit of a hassle.

Really? From the information I've gathered, it seems many reshippers are holding Pixel packages and not even releasing them if you provide the identification they ask you for supposedly because too many people are social engineering Google with fake labels and RMAs to get free Pixel 2 XLs, though the sites I specifically found that did this were reship and shipito. I might try Stackry for reshipping in the future, thanks for the post.

Hello, I am looking for $28 in BTC in exchange for $37 in PayPal funds from a verified US PayPal account. You will go first unless you're a green-trusted member or reputable from your trust ratings.

PM me for more information or any inquiries. I am only looking for BTC as of this moment, but I may consider LTC or ETH.

In the case of Ledger, you conduct payment using an app that Ledger has created, and in the event that Ledger somehow goes out of business, you can simply take the seed that you're supposed to write down and convert the BIP39/44 seed to a privkey and import the privkey- you then have a normal wallet. Some wallets also directly support the ledger wallet, so you don't even need to download any special Ledger software to use the wallet. The same applies for Trezor.

I personally keep two multiple Ledger Nanos and multisig paper wallets for best security, and I have also left instructions to access my BTC and alts in case I suddenly die; I feel leaving instructions to access BTC after you're dead is extremely important, as it is possible your BTC can just be lost forever after you die if you don't.

PayPal goods and services might be okay for some people, but if your buyer's trying to pay in BTC he's definitely going to ask for escrow. If you're legitimate, it completely makes sense to accept escrow as it reassures the buyer that he/she will get a good and working product, and you'll get more people willing to buy your iPhone or whatever product you may sell in the future- it costs you nothing if you ask the buyer to pay for the fees, and it hardly adds any time to a sale.
