2121  Economy / Gambling / Re: Livecasino.io - 🔥 up to 20% cashback🔥up to 20% rakeback 🚨 instant withdrawals on: October 08, 2022, 06:32:48 AM
I might finally check out the casino after reading this.
That's great to have a "blackjack specialist" as slaman29 is calling you, here on the forum. But it would be even greater if you could share some of your experience with us. What is your favorite blackjack game? What is the best provider for blackjack games according to you? It seems you were playing at blackjack.fun before, why are you looking for another casino, if it's not too intrusive?

Blackjack.fun was straight up blackjack, no fancy stuff, no side betting, no live dealer, but it was VERY fast, very small limits of 100 satoshi and a very high max bet that I could remember.

Most important was dealer HIT on soft 17, and I believe this made it so that house edge was something like 0.4%, which is the smallest of any Blackjack.

He's looking because as explained above, rewards have become very low, but more importantly if you check his history, he doesn't want KYC at all, which is what happened at Blackjack.fun.

It would be nice to see IndependentGambler play here and compete in multiple tournaments, I tried to ask support regarding KYC
unfortunately it is not certain whether KYC will be implemented or not it's totally based on the player's activity while $2000 is not the main benchmark
Even if he withdraws more than $2000 does not automatically have to go through KYC unless the transaction activity is suspicious, I mean an indication of money laundering.

An occasional withdrawal of $2k will not alert the site, I reckon. This amount still is 5x far from the amount of $10k where the site must comply with KYC and AML regulations and report any transactions exceeding $10k.

This article is about KYC and AML requirements on money service businesses, cryptocurrency exchanges and custodian services, however, compliance requirements might also be similar for online gambling sites.

Also, this is nothing problematic if you did not do anything illegal. Similar to fiat gambling services, KYC has also become a regular procedure for gambling services in the cryptospace.



AML programs need to stipulate what KYC information will be collected, as well as appoint a compliance officer to monitor and oversee transactions. To stay compliant, AML programs must be able to identify and report suspicious activity and file Currency Transaction Reports (CTR) for transactions in excess of $10,000.

I  tried to watch today's game, I really did. Unbearable puntfest. Even beer didn't fix it. I give up.

Worst game of the year.  Honestly Russell Wilson looks like shit.  Denver looks like they are going to be a bottom of the barrel team.  Of course their starting rb goes on the IR.  My teams in fantasy this year have all went to the trash heap.  I hate injuries lol.  But yeah what a snoozefest that was.

It appears I saved myself from wasting time. I reckon the game would only be watched from the beginning to the end in excitement if someone made a bet with his whole life savings and his car on either of those teams?

@ChiBitCTy. You did not like Raheem Mostert, I will be holding him for you hehehe. I am speculating that he will be getting more snaps with Bridgewater as QB1. He will be a good flex option also or an RB2 in some weeks.

It appears that it was not only the people from social who has noticed about Jim Cramer's bad predictions and bad declarations. Tuttle Capital Management has filed for an application to create and list an Inverse Cramer ETF hehehehe. This might cause Jim Cramer to be more careful in his predictions.



Inverse Cramer ETF becomes reality

Tuttle Capital Management has filed to launch two ETFs going short and long the views of celebrity analyst Jim Cramer.

that pdf with everyones name/entity reminds me of the mtgox leak.. doxxed everyone, basically.

shitshow is an understatement.

I have not entered the cryptospace when Mtgox had their own leaks and problems. However, I read some articles and I have heard about some people's bad experiences.

Also, agreed! It is a big understatement. It is a breach of privacy and those users will certainly be in a list somewhere for scammers and darknet criminals. The IRS and other government agencies might also be studying the list hehehe.

Stupid move meant to fool gullible users into believing that their personal data is now safer, yet it not the case. They are using the NFT buzzword because they know that lots of noobs would wet their pants on just hearing the word.

Nothing new here, Binance and Cz have always come up with "innovations" that are just copied and pasted from somewhere else, and then eventually they die out as the hype reduces.

We should not be very disapproving about new developments in the cryptospace. Very much similar when bitcoin was created and developed, many people misunderstood it. NFTs might be in a similar type of situation. I agree that much of the NFTs that are presently minted are worthless, however, this does not imply that NFTs will never have any good use cases.

I predict that the next great crypto phenomenon that will bring millions of new adopters in the cryptospace will be through NFTs.
2126  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2022-06-28] Bitcoin mining revenue mirrors 2021 lows, right before BTC breached on: October 07, 2022, 03:48:08 AM
It appears mining revenue for the most efficient of miners will break even only if bitcoin continues to go down on $10k, according to Wes Cummins the CEO of Applied Blockchain. I am not quite certain if he is really an expert on bitcoin mining, however, assuming that what he has said is true, bitcoin is presently very safe from the mining death spiral.



So if Bitcoin continues to go down, the most inefficient operators are going to go offline, the more efficient operators make more tokens from their hardware, so it’s a little bit self-correcting. But that’s kind of the levels. $10,000-ish right now, depending on your hardware or you electricity costs, is the variable break-even, and $20,000 is the break-even to buy new hardware, or even a little bit above that.

There is an article that was published in a mainstream media outlet saying that Celsius executives have withdrawn at least $17 million of their money before freezing withdrawals for their customers. However, this is not the only problem. It appears Celsius has also made public a court document containing all their users' names, transaction times, and amounts of deposits and withdrawals. This is certainly a very serious breach of privacy.



Gizmodo has uploaded the latest Celsius court filing, which totals over 14,000 pages, to the Internet Archive for anyone who really wants to get into the nitty gritty of the bankruptcy case. It appears the filing is so large because it seems to have the names and recent transactions of every user on the platform.

@NeuroticFish. Is that the excuse for using taxpayer's money to speculate and gamble on bitcoin? He is gambling his future in politics? That is a very head shaking argument because behind every politician's move there is always a hidden agenda. We as natives of the cryptospace and holders of bitcoin should know this by now. I am not quite certain why the community likes to defend him. Is it because he is acting very much similar to those annoying and embarassing bitcoinbros?

**Wanting to trade for RB**

I am absolutely stacked at WR. I could use an upgrade to my second RB.  Though I really like all my RBs and they have a ton of upside potential, I’m looking to move one of my WRs and RBs to someone who’s got an extra RB they’d be willing to trade that would be a slight upgrade to any of my RBs (outside Harris of course).  Someone like Aaron Jones for example is the type of back Im looking for.

Anyone interested please let me know



uhsra

Are you still looking for a running back? Raheem Mostert is presently available in the waiver wire hehehe. He is not very consistent, however, his weekly projections appear to be good enough if you use him as a back up for your team. I would add him if I did not have Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson already hehe.

I am still looking to upgrade at RB, but I don't see Mostert as being an upgrade for any of my running backs, but I appreciate you looking out for me! 

There's gotta be a taker somewhere, pair something like London and Penny or combo like that for a decently better RB.  This way your team gets a stud WR and a very solid RB.  Just keep me in mind if anyone has a need like this pop up please and thanks!

Man the Rams really showed their true colors last night.  They are just not the same team as last year.  Stafford is clearly not himself.  I think that shoulder injury that was bothering him in the pre-season is a more serious deal than they had been or are letting on.

I would not trade Penny if I had him. He will be very useful as a RB3 if one of your starting running backs is in the IR list. This is according to some fantasy players in social media hehehe.

Are you not disappointed with Najee Harris? I had him last year and he is not the same player. But it might be an attractive trade if you pair him and London for a better running back hehe.

It might be Stafford's shoulder or much of the opinions everyone made on him when he was playing for the Lions might be true? His true colors are showing?

Good luck with that chicken legs Cheesy


That would definitely crack the moment he tries to hit his shin guard to Francis Ngannoue's Shin guard, If this fight Continues I will not be Surprise if Jon Jones would lost and Ngannoue wins the fight with KO/TKO via injury like what happened with Tom Aspinall with his fight with Curtis Blaydes,


Hehehehe agreed. However this is being hyped in the some news articles and in social media already. It also appears this chicken legs will be uncle Dana's next candidate after Cyril Gane to bash Francis Ngannou. If Bones Jones is the winner, he might be much easier to control by the UFC in contract dealings. Ngannou has rejected all proposals from the UFC and as we have witnessed, he has become a problem.

On El Salvador, I have asked this before, however, I have not gotten an answer. Would it not be more advantageous for El Salvador if they used Jack Mallers' original plan for Strike of using Tether USDT as the currency and bitcoin's network as the medium of transport? I reckon Bukele would have the advantages of the dollar without owning a Federal Reserve money printer hehehe.

Time will tell. Using Bitcoin was a great advertising for El Salvador. If Bitcoin price will go again over the roof, El Salvador can even sell and get some of their problems fixed, or at least boast their performance (it would mean a couple of % of their GDP).
It is a gamble and Bukele is a high roller. But the history shows that those who did bet on Bitcoin were winning and there's a very good chance Bukele will win too.

Agreed that the bull market will return and anyone who invested in bitcoin will have a return on their investment, however, Bukele a highroller? I would not call him that. He is a government official who took the risk by using taxpayer's money to speculate on bitcoin hehe.
2132  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: How can a thief benefit from his thefts? on: October 06, 2022, 03:18:25 AM
I think there are some exchanges without KYC where you can able to trade or swap tokens into privacy coins like grin coin or monero.
No one would be able to trace trace them once they trade or swap them into privacy coins.

Cryptocoin laundering through an exchange that is centralized is very risky and not very advisable, I reckon. Use a decentralized exchange that swaps Bitcoin to Monero then hold everything in Monero. If the hacker does not like everything in Monero, he can also swap from Monero to Ethereum then swap them to different Defi tokens, stablecoins or buy bluechip NFTs.

I reckon hackers that want to launder stolen funds should avoid using bitcoin as the only moneylaundering mechanism because of services similar to Chainalysis and Elliptical that are scanning all of our transactions.
2133  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: October 05, 2022, 04:56:53 AM
With a proper diet and enough time of preparation, moving to another weight division is not hard for this monster.
That's true. They have months to prepare for the fight, it's sufficient to adjust their body and train. It would be a bit different for what Inoue used to but I think it's not hard for him to adjust just incase.


It's too early to talk on that, I think moving up is easier than going down in weight, and besides, Inoue has the power and speed, that's enough to still make him a fighter to be scared of once he moves up. After this fight, if he wins, I think that's gonna be his next move, so let's just wait and see.

It's part of his possible plans, but maybe he also sees more money from this division and he's good at maintaining his weight
so we never know what's the real score is in terms of moving up.

Just how you see it, too early for discussing that and there's always a balancing thing to make a decision, he might be thinking
about it, but for now, he's focusing on winning all the belts.

We will see any update for sure if there's a move coming from Inoue's camp, but for now it will be more on this upcoming fight.

It's not really that early, besides, we won't be having this kind of speculation if Inoue himself didn't say or consider that he'll move to the next weight class if he is already finish in unifying all the belts in his current division. Talking about his chances, there is a high chance that he will move after this because majority of us here already are already convinced and thought that Inoue will be crowned as the undisputed champion rather than Butler.

Inoue was interviewed recently by the JapanTimes and this is what he said:
Quote
“From here on, I want to give performances worthy of the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter.
“In order to do that, I need to unify the bantamweight world titles and then take on the super-bantamweight division.”
https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2022/06/28/more-sports/boxing-2/inoue-pound-for-pound-bantamweight/


This is what I have been speculating! Now it will become true! Inoue clearly has the talent and he should not be another ordinary champion. He deserves a similar status to Mayweather and Pacman, I reckon.

If he challenges Stephen Fulton, Fulton should challenge Murodjon Akhmadaliev and unify the super bantamweight championships first hehehee. It will be the first time in boxing history where 2 undisputed champions will be fighting in the ring. However, if Fulton does not unify the championships in super bantamweight, Inoue might do it hehe.

Politicians and their idiotic rules.
I fully agree that underage people should not gamble. How about doing KYC during registration then?

I really don't understand what a move like this will accomplish. It just hurts legit companies that are offering legal services - because gambling is legal.

The government has been always known to control the storylines and support them with regulation to manipulate where the people spend their money and the flow of where money goes. It is presently the beginning of a recession, it would not be very shocking for everyone if the government of UK is beginning a campaign for people to throw more of their money in the lottery where they have no chance of winning hehehe. Lotteries are cash cows of the government.
2135  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does everyone want bitcoin to be stable in price? on: October 05, 2022, 02:18:43 AM
Trading and speculation does not really help with adoption. Having a stable price would be really positive for Bitcoin. Compared to the US dollar, Bitcoin has not been a great store of value lately. For some people it would become less attractive because they just want the price to moon so they can buy lambos but overall having a stable price would help Bitcoin's credibility as a currency and store of value.

Agreed! A stable price for bitcoin would also help rebitcoinize the cryptospace where bitcoin would again be used to price altcoins and be used as the first choice for trading against altcoins, very much similar before 2017.

I have speculated before that stablecoins will be regulated and used by regulators to control the liquidity of how much comes in and comes out of the cryptospace. This is very dangerous and another method for them to manipulate the market. This can be avoided with bitcoin, I reckon.
2136  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2022-08-09] Iran makes first import order using cryptocurrency on: October 05, 2022, 01:26:17 AM
then I personally see another legal tender coming, this time, not bitcoin alone, but for cryptocurrencies - top ones.
Highly unlikely specially about altcoins!
There is a key difference between El Salvador and Iran. The former is one of the poorest countries that didn't even have their own legal tender (they use another country's fiat!), Iran on the other hand has its own currency and is among the top 10 biggest economies.

I very much agree.

On El Salvador, I have asked this before, however, I have not gotten an answer. Would it not be more advantageous for El Salvador if they used Jack Mallers' original plan for Strike of using Tether USDT as the currency and bitcoin's network as the medium of transport?

2139  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does everyone want bitcoin to be stable in price? on: October 04, 2022, 04:31:57 AM
@pooya87. Stable in value against what, however? Where would we get the basis for bitcoin's value?
It is hard because value itself is mostly measured in terms of fiat and if we measure it in terms of anything else (gold, a barrel of oil, bag of potato, ...) that too can be volatile. But I suppose the best way is to measure it in terms of a combination of goods and services instead of fiat.

For example we can say bitcoin value is stable if your cost of living is 1BTC and remains that way regardless of what happens to the price ($1k to $10k to $100k to $1000k).

Agreed, it is very hard and very hard to use bitcoin as a store of value and a medium of exchange because of volatility. If you run a business, you can accept bitcoin, however, it would not be very good to hold them because of bitcoin's volatility against the currencies that are being used to pay for the business' expenses. If the argument is for the business owner to speculate on the price, that would be very head shaking if the arguers want the business owner to also become a speculator. It might bankrupt him.

In contrast to fiat, fiat is always stable because it is used as a legal tender and is always controlled by a centralized government, so fiat always remains stable at all times.
Why do you thing fiat has been always stable?
In the united states, people have to pay around 8% more for their living costs compared to last year. There are many countries even with much higher inflation rates.
Fiat has been never stable in value.

However, for the holder who has bought bitcoin when it was more than $50k, the reduction in his wallet's value has reduced by more than 50%. What if he presently needs the money because of an emergency?
2140  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2022-09-15] In the US conservationists want BTC to switch to PoS too on: October 04, 2022, 03:56:02 AM
@cr1776. I made a similar argument like that already, however, @Betwrong's argument based on Chainalysis' data is different. It is telling everyone that crinimal usage of bitcoin is very low. I reckon this might give the antagonizers another argument. They will also begin to say that bitcoin is a ponzi and only good for speculation without creating much value for society.

Also, if there is really a shortage of electricity, what will common society demand to be turned of first? The bitcoin miners or the things that they consider more important to them like the factories that create their goods or the banks that run their financial fiat system? We bitcoin users are only less than 1.5% of society.
