2041  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling: process vs outcome on: February 02, 2020, 08:44:30 PM
I've seen a guy asking for advice about lotteries and it got me thinking. I don't understand why people even like lotteries. You don't do much, most likely lose and have to wait for the outcome for a long time. Perhaps, people are interested in the possibility of winning, but that would mean they are not really into gambling as the process. So what is it for you, do you play only for the sake of winning or do you care about the process of playing/researching/anticipating the outcome? I think that the process is that is attractive in gambling, and while the outcome surely matters, I would not like to wait for a long while to learn it.
I agree with you, don't find anything interesting in lottery. Please anyone don't get wrong with me but lotteries are mostly played by people with average/under average wealth. They are looking for cheap wins with high reward and that's where lottery really shines. Mathematically your chances to win lottery are super low, but mostly marketing run by them makes people to believe it's easy, no one sees the mathematical side of this game. Lottery is the game where outcome matters the most, I have never seen anyone addicted to it or had craves of lottery.
But games like dice, blackjack and etc, where you win/lose in seconds, floods your brain with dopamine (dopamine kicks when you win). That's why these games are attractive and addictive while outcome matters too.

Hello guys
As I see some people here come and go away, they change sig campaign like socks for some additional bucks. I think that's not very fair at all, well, after 4-5 week you may really change it but people here change it after first week once they get payment.
When you are enrolled in campaign, it means campaign manager trusted you enough to find place for you. "I don't give a damn" isn't right to my mind.
2043  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin ATMs normalizing Cryptocurrency on: January 30, 2020, 06:56:19 PM
My friend has bar in a prestigious place and has bitcoin ATam there. For a while I was pretty often in his bar and to be fair I have never seen anyone was withdrawing bitcoins via it. The only moment that I saw was that one old woman forgot to pay bills and somehow reminded it when she went near to our bar. She came here and was trying to pay bills via bitcoin ATM, she didn't understand anything and said, wtf is this, then came to us and asked for help. It was very funny moment.
So I can't understand why number of bitcoin ATMs increase, is there really high demand on it in your countries?
2044  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Looking for crypto game providers on: January 30, 2020, 05:29:45 PM
Hi everyone!

We're looking for provably fair bitcoin dice, bitcoin lotteries, video poker games, slots, etc, available for integration into www.satoshihero.com.

We'd like to talk to either crypto game providers who are offering their games or to those who are offering their API to build a game on top of.

If you own this kind of things or you know someone who's offering this stuff, please DM me and let's discuss cooperation!
I have no idea what do you mean in crypto game providers. There are none "providers" for dice, lotteries and similar games, you can either buy script or build your one with your developers (recommend this last one). If you are looking for slots, then you can contact to EGT, Yggdrasil, NetEnt, Play'n GO, Pragmatic, Novomatic, Endorphina amd other slot providers. 
For live blackjack and etc, you can contact to Evolution Gaming, Authentic, Netent and other providers, you can even have private tables in their studios and decide yourself min bet, uniform of dealers, interior and other things.
It's not that simple task.
2045  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: NEVER EVER deal Bitcoins with PAYPAL (F&F too!) on: January 30, 2020, 05:05:05 PM
I sold my Bitcoins through Paypal Friends and Family payment thinking it would be "safe".
I was TOTALLY wrong.
The scammer issued a chargeback claiming it as "unauthorized purchase".
I sent all the chat logs and the screenshot of the Paypal payment from the buyer and the receipt from Paxful including PGP signature, but I doubt if I will ever win.
Feels so sad that this BS has happened in the end of the year.
I'm stuck between either paying the chargeback or closing my bank account and debit card, never using Paypal again.
While paypal's refund feature is really the amazing one, it has also huge disadvantage and that's what you say. Not only personal transactions but a lot of ebay buyers say lies including: I haven't received item, it's damaged, it's doesn't have original smell (fragrance) and etc. What can we do? Nothing but to return money in most cases. Paypal is the most acceptable payment for buyers and for that reason sellers have to agree with that but why do you hang on your customer sellers?
OP pp/btc deal isn't easy, you have to trust user or if he/she isn't trustworthy, then keep in mind that your money isn't your for a while.
2046  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Exchanges are now potentially banning btc sent to a mixing/conjoin services on: January 30, 2020, 04:34:56 PM
That's great, especially I love the accident that happened in this screenshot. Why? Because when you use mixer, you have to feel confident that your privacy is protected and if they are easy enough for exchanges to catch, then this means that mixer was just piece of shit. When exchange can detect that you used "famous" mixer, that hugely affects your privacy.
Bitmixer did very correct thing, owner of that mixer wasn't stupid to shut down huge money making machine for nothing. He earned a lot of money and when understood that he wouldn't be able to last that long and protect his and customers privacy, decided to shut down his service.
Would love to see what will happen around other mixers, what will come: a new trend or new shutdowns?
2047  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Poll for favourite cryptos used on Gambling. on: January 29, 2020, 10:22:43 PM
At first you must offer people basic cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, Ripple, Monero, Zcash. This is what came to my mind in a seconds. With this basic starters pack, let's call it like that Cheesy you will meet the requirements of most players. As time goes, players will request from you to add another altcoins. For example on Bitsler there was huge demand on HDD mineable coin - Burst coin and they decided to add it, after that coin there was a rain of a lot of altcoins, demand rise and finally they offer a lot of altcoin.
2048  Economy / Economics / Re: Goverments creating digital currencies - Threat or Opportunity? on: January 29, 2020, 09:28:02 PM
Threat for us and opportunity for them. Personally I am against moving fully on digital currencies and online money in overall. Cash is great method of payment if there weren't machinations behind it. Bank added you in black list? Only thing that they can do is to freeze your account, you can feel free to buy anything you wish if you have cash.
Digital currencies created by them won't be decentralized and we won't be able to mine, they don't do good for us and were never doing, I have no idea why people can't understand that.
If we fully move on digital currencies, then they'll have all records of where we spend money, how much and etc, this is also the most beneficial for marketing purposes and to understand what people are looking for that makes a lot of things easier for them to gain more control.
2049  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Minimizing the risk- How much possible it is? on: January 29, 2020, 08:32:25 PM

I was a part time trader (actually holder)
                    ~snip
Did you find that it wasn't beneficial? Cause for me that action is minimizing risks. I never use all moments, I only try and aim to use best ones or sometimes good ones and never judge myself for my actions when I profit by saying that if I wait a little more, I would profit much.
But I see what's your point, usually altcoins follow to bitcoin but there are some that are independent from it and that's a good moment. I wouldn't say it minimizes the risk but probably the profit you may get from one altcoin won't be high enough to cover bitcoin's loss and opposite.
It's hard task, I may do some research on that, worth to keep an eye on.
2050  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is officially about to enter bull market, guys your thoughts... on: January 29, 2020, 08:02:12 PM
It's so hard to say what's happening exactly cause when we had rise from 9K up to 14k, people were thinking it was bull and finally bitcoin was going to recover but no, what we saw was price fall and we still didn't reach to 9k after some months and when halving is getting closer and closer.
But maybe I am mistaken, it's not really easy to say when will be bull run but there are two options: 1. This is bull run (pre halving) and it will be even higher after halving or 2nd - we will see real bull run after halving.
But what makes me curious is that where we will stop in case of bull run. Previous 20k is great example for people to not buy btc when price is very high. I think that experience may limit our possibility to reach even higher price.
2051  Other / Archival / Re: The best Bitcoin Sportsbooks for 2020. on: January 29, 2020, 10:54:16 AM
Hello bitcoiners!


We recently released a list of the top best bitcoin sportsbooks for 2020!  Grin

If you think there are any platforms you feel should be added to the list, please let us know in the comments below!

You can find the full list here: https://bitcoinchaser.com/bitcoin-sportsbook
How did you decide to include those casinos in your list? Did you make any survey among random people who bet on sports?
Firstly, adding of 1xBit in your list is a huge mistake because this is scam casino. When I know that you add scam casinos in your top list, then how can I trust you? I would just ignore your website and start looking of lists on another websites where I would feel more secure regarding to lists.
https://bitcoinchaser.com/casino/1xbit-casino-review <-- for example this review, it's 100% obvious that you just wanted to write nice review and not fair review in order to gain people's attention cause: 1XBit casino is exactly what they were craving for <-- No, people aren't craving for casino that steals their money.
1xBit offers chats with professionals on its forums. <-- again huge no no. Have you ever been in touch with their support?

So what I want to say is that make fair reviews and do a lot of research when making list of top casinos. I can't see stake.com in your list and it's very popular casino, another reason to re review your list.
2052  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: I have a good domain name, but looking for an idea or partner... on: January 28, 2020, 11:51:49 PM
I have a good domain name, which is: coinanc.com  

Currently I have nothing on there.

I think it's a catchy name because it's almost like inbetween: Coinbase, and Binance. Coinanc with no e at the end.

Could make for a good bitcoin exchange or something. I'm looking for ideas, and or a partner to possibly develop the next big thing on there. You can also contact me direct on there if you'd like.

What are your thoughts, any ideas?   Roll Eyes
I don't know why but personally I don't find that domain attractive. If you look it to be catchy, then what about to try sedo domain parking?
At first I just misread it as coinance and then when I was looking for posts, saw that mk4 had suggested the same. But seems coinance.com was registered in 2013 and is still active, somehow website doesn't exist. If they had any business, then idea of sedo domain parking would be amazing for you but still there is website coinance.app
You know what to do, good luck!
2053  Economy / Economics / Re: Richest 2000 People richer then poorest 4.6 billion on: January 28, 2020, 11:43:16 PM
Richest 2000 People richer then the poorest 4.6 billion.
Richest 26 persons richer then 3.8 billion people.

Today I read this in the newspaper that Oxfam Novib calculated this in their report called time to care about economic inequality.
Especially women in underdeveloped country's are stuck in poverty and can't get out.

We all know this has been going on for years but it is pretty shocking to see the enormous difference in these numbers.
It is also hard to comprehend that most concentrated part of the wealth is hold bye a small club of men.

How do you think this is devided with Bitcoin we can all just see the top richest wallets in Bitcoin, but do you think Bitcoin is more fair devided then the current money system?
What would be the most fair way of dividing a cryptocurrency so the whole world is actually part of it and gets wealth?

It was divided to bitcoin in past, not now and that's very sad. For example nowadays exchanges hold a lot of bitcoin, see this article: https://cointelegraph.com/news/nearly-10-billion-in-btc-is-held-in-wallets-of-8-crypto-exchanges
So a lot of coins are held by exchanges and you know: not your keys - not your coins, this isn't silly expression, it's true. Nothing to talk about that, bitcoin mining is 100% turned into commercial business because of increased difficulty and not revealing new miners on time makes it almost impossible for simple people to mine it.
Everything that's good at first gets abused and finally bitcoin isn't exception. But after all, bitcoin has 100x more advantages than current money system.
It's still more decentralized and it has fixed supply, blockchain technology. No one can edit 21 million bitcoin and no one can mine bitcoin on their own after reaching to that limit. We don't depend on 3rd parties, i.e. banks. It gives you possibility to feel a little bit independent from current money system.
2054  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 2020 the year of Bitcoin technology getting accepted by governments on: January 28, 2020, 10:53:14 PM
2020 will be the year when more governments are going to be including blockchain in their systems to become more transparent and more reliable in order to offer a better service to their citizens.

Also, BTC will be more popular this year because since 2018 was mentioned a lot if the media, even when they talk in bad way about it, Bitcoin keeps growing, even negative news is good for the network of networks!

So many people are still just knowing bitcoin but can't understand the concept of decentralization yet! they just don't get it! because they have been indoctrinated for decades, and know it is more difficult for them to understand one important word: decentralization!




Oh of course, all they want is to be more transparent and take care of us on another level, that's what they are thinking about every day and that's the reason of why some of them have sleeping issues.
Cmon, governments aren't that much interested in bitcoin implementation but they are interested to gain more control on it and they are doing it pretty well, as it seems lately.
I think you wanted to say blockchain instead of bitcoin and don't know exactly what you wrote? Cause according to every statistics, not bitcoin but blockchain is the most wishful technology to be adopted by governments and also demand on blockchain developers is rising significantly.
2055  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Running an online Bitcoin gambling website on: January 28, 2020, 10:33:08 AM
I have a few questions regarding running a Bitcoin gambling website online.

I am located in Canada. So I'm not sure if it's legal for me run a site like this online from within Canada.

If it is legal for me to host the site else where, where is it possible for me to host it and do I need to get it licensed or it's okay to operate without a license since it's crypto.
If I amn't wrong, gambling laws are a little bit different in Canada Provinces. You can use some Canadian gambling review websites to have an imaginary about what's happening in your country. It's not that easy task. Firstly, casino requires a lot of money, professional IT team behind it, customer supports, partners and etc, this requires time, knowledge and a lot of money. Crypto gambling websites are mostly launched in Curacao, seems this is the best place for them to operate from and there is a reason why every popular casino operates from Curacao. Do you even know laws of crypto in Canada?
As mocacinno said, better to talk experienced persons in this subject, it's not an online solvable task.

Do you mean online or offline wallet or both of them?
Personally I would avoid online wallets except some because there was one website bit.ac offering storing of a lot of altcoins but they turned into scam.
On blockchain.com's wallet you can store following altcoins: Ether, Bitcoin Cash, Stellar and USD PAX.
Exodus is a good wallet for storing altcoins.
Ledger Nano S if you hardware wallet.
In overall don't leave coins on exchanges, it means you are insecure and no one knows whether something happens to your coins or not (steal, hack and etc).
2058  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: So...Is Bitcoin the ultimate coin that does not need more development? on: January 26, 2020, 09:21:44 AM


As subject goes, is Bitcoin the maximum version?

Is it still possible to develop it?

or

Can we still expect better coin than Bitcoin?
Oh no of course.
There are bitcoins and there are altcoins, there is huge difference between them and altcoins were created in order to offer something better in it, some of them succeed this way. Let's talk about that, what bitcoin has and what it lacks.

Bitcoin is as simple as it is - it's decentralized, mineable with fixed supply, with some fees, with blockchain. Is it maximum? No, cause...
Bitcoin lacks anonymity and Monero rises here with it Ring Signatures, it creates unique signatures and combine them with old ones, makes it hard to tell who created transaction and Stealth addressing, making it hard to tell the destination of sent Monero.
Bitcoin lacks what Ethereum has - Smart Contracts and DApp platform.
Bitcoin Mining - It turned into commercial business.
There are still some currencies to compare bitcoin with, but I find it very boring and included example of two popular coins, Ethereum and Monero.
So to sum up, bitcoin isn't the current maximum version of cryptocurrencies.

Cause this exchange seems scam website like Yobit. This not only warn people to stay away from promoting this exchange but also possibly may raise awareness among thread viewers in overall to stay away from it.

2060  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Who bought Bitcoin in late 2017? Still recovering or fully recovered? on: January 25, 2020, 08:05:22 PM



Well i am in the same boat.

Just out of curiosity, is there any still recovering from the deadly bitcoin price in late 2017?

or fully recovered and seeing profit? or Sold away at that moment or later?


Reddit is full of such stories, you will see a people who bought bitcoin when price was rising from 14k to higher and most of them bought when it was 18k. It's still ok but there were a lot of people who were "late bloomers" there, sold house and bought bitcoins at 18-20K, imagine how huge stress it is and god knows when price will recover. They had to pay loan to keep house, so for such people I think there is no recovery, they wouldn't even risk day trading because of huge emotional stress and hopeless because of that mistake.
But also don't forget that if you sold bitcoin at 20K, it means someone bought it at 20k. There were dozens of people who sold btc at 20k, so there were dozens of people who bought it. Without darkness we would never see the stars you know.

There may be a lot of people who recovered too, you have to learn on your mistakes. After bought on 20K, a lot of people would do more analyzes and consider more suggestions in trading and they could easily recover from it. Imagine I bought at 20K, saw price started fall and sold them at 15k, then hold my USD for a while. Saw price become 3K in 2019 year, great moment to buy bitcoin and did it, then sold when price hit 9k for example, I am in huge win there and not in loss. I think 2019 year was great opportunity for people. I know it may sounds like fairy tale but it's hugely possible that someone did it, personally I sold every btc when price was 16k but bought when it become 4k and sold when it hit 13k last summer.
