But I remember that the admin once asked in the chat room about the plan to make tokens for the blackjack.fun community
Some people respond positively some others doubt it and the chat is not continued , we know  admin just wants to know the response from the user but who knows in the future it can be realized.

Really, having a blackjack token will really be great fun for the community and network a lot has been expected and from the look of things blackjack fun team is busy right now cooking up something big for their community, as the wait for the updated new version of their platform is underway a lot of new and incredible features are expected and if the team choose to create their token along the line, that will help to build their ecosystem.


Or, instead of issuing a volatile token, which will only be sold or be manipulated, BlackJack.fun can offer casino rewards that can be exchanged for free spins, free dice throws, or free Plinko balls. I believe it would have the same positives, without the inconvenience.

How much did Real Winner wager last week? I believe GOD has wagered more than anyone this week compared to any total weekly wagers of the past weeks, and it's only a Thursday.

oeleo loves to go to extremes to then explain away why he thinks he should not care about real world things..


No, I believe some people just miss the point, or doesn't try to see it in the context of other people. It's like our long debates before, I post the things that are from my limited knowledge in reply to you during that time, but I would later learn some of your points are valid/correct.

Personally, I think making mixers illegal would have a tremendously positive effect on this forum.  It would likely cut down on wannabe scammers, spam, and harassment from bored signature spammers looking to stir up drama for more reasons to post. 

There are privacy coins people can use already.  Tangling Bitcoin up with money laundering and defending it so you can make a couple bucks to spam here while pretending it's a privacy issue seems pretty selfish to me.


I believe they shouldn't. Whether to use them or not are trade offs taken if the user thinks it's worth keeping his/her privacy, but risk being "reprimanded" by the government. For ordinary users, probably not worth it, or just use WasabiWallet, less risk.

Hi OwlGames, I was browsing around your casino, and I noticed that its users can only log into the site through using a MetaMask wallet? I'm not an Ethereum user, nor am I a Binance blockchain user.
I think it is a design of Web3 casino. You control your keys, you control your tokens. You will have to connect your wallet to Owl games site, give it access to your coins and here you go to be able for betting.

Is there a "regular" way to log into OwlGames casino and deposit Bitcoins?
I want to know how to do it too. Did not care about Bitcoin deposit so your question reminds me about that. Previously I only use tokens to play games at Owl.games.


There's a "sign up with email" link in the right side at the bottom.



Plus they actually accept Bitcoin deposits for users who don't want to convert to other coins.

There’s an option to signup using email when you click the connect button. They will require to provide user id and email address to create account. Your password will be sent to your email and you can change it on the in game option. I’m currently using email address on my account to make sure that I can recover it just in case my wallet got hack.


Thanks, I found it after five minutes of browsing around the casino. It's a little hard to find to be honest. OwlGames should probably use a different color for the link, or place it in the left side, and at the top.

I'm excited to try my luck in Craps provided by Nucleus. The Craps games, both live and first person, from Evolution were not very "cooperative. Hahaha.

I agree that it always better to make a good DCA strategy for trading. I also agree that there is no specific dip on trading and you have know that Dip , buy and sell amd hold these all are the part of DCA strategy. Now if one wants to trade for long term then he must buy and hold at good dip and for that also there is a long term dca strategy. You will see how bitcoin holders are profited. Buy in the dip and hodl word for the long-term traders.


Ser, selling is not part of DCA, because DCA - or Dollar Cost Averaging - is a buying strategy to accumulate an asset for a long term hold, also called in the Bitcoin community as the "HODL". The philosophy behind DCA is the acceptance that most of us "investors" can't predict market price movements accurately, which can make it a very good strategy for plebs like us who don't know much about trading.

When I was a child there was a toy which was quite popular, probably some of you have seen it before.
...
I remember that toy and had a lot of fun playing it although I used to cheat a bit by shaking the toy to force the rings to move in the right direction Smiley
I'd love to see a casino version of it but developing one is going to be very challenging. The design and animation can be easily imitated but not how it works as winning on the real game depends on how skilled the player is and the laws of physics while the casino game needs to be based on pure luck.

It could be also implemented as a skill based game if the casino somehow manages to turn the game into a contest against other playes, like Poker is.

That way it could be a skill based game and do not translate to losses to the casino but rather to the player who plays the worst.


I believe if a Bitcoin/cryptocurrency casino wants to have a community of LONG TERM users, they must offer more skill-based/strategy-based games in their sites. Simply depending on people gambling their coins away until they are out in the shortest time possible is not very sustainable in my opinion, especially during the bear market.

Try to learn how to play Craps, and learn the strategies instead of playing simple dice games or roulette, or other games that have high house edge.
2207  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: August 24, 2022, 05:18:01 AM
The DIP is still not visible in my eyes, and I'm really scared to enter at the current price,
yes even though many people say that $22k - $23k is the bottom price, but for me the bottom is still untouched.
Bitcoin is likely to dip below $20k soon, The stocks market have been pulling up recently while Bitcoin is now acting a lot weaker than the SP500 and the stock market. So you need to trade carefully. But it's still a buying opportunity in my opinion. If NASDAQ go down 2-3% this week, Bitcoin might go for a Small Splash.
Trader applies strategies to conduct trading business. Here those strategies often fail because those may not have been adjusted with time. But there is one strategy that is always effective is to buy low and sell high. But there is no specific limit to the dip. It is better to buy from a possible stage by doing market analysis on the other you can buy it from any bear market which is currently on going.


A "trader" who applies "strategies", but cannot profit more than if he/she merely bought, and HODLed Bitcoin shouldn't be trading in my opinion. Because what would be the point of trading if HODLing Bitcoin, or if you also like altcoins/shitcoins, hold an index/basket of good coins, whatever those coins may be, is more profitable? Plebs like us should preserve our sanity and leave the market to the professionals.
2208  Economy / Gambling / Re: What is a game you would like to see in an online crypto casino? on: August 23, 2022, 10:46:34 AM

A first shooter game like CS where every user can join a server and get paid for every user he got. I'm not sure if there is something like this yet but it might just be fun.

I saw a play-to-earn game like this bit it's about ranking wich user fights for thier rank because everyone who ranks up to 200 will be rewarded with the revenue-sharing program.


"Play to earn" is a broken model. The game issues the tokens to the users for them to "earn" and sell to the market. BUT it requires the community to speculate on the token to support the price, and therefore to also support the whole system, which truly is not sustainable.

There's always that probability, but there's also some probability that it wouldn't. There are no absolutes in the universe. The Pi Cycle says the bottom for the current bear cycle has been reached. Plus Bitcoin has never traded below its 200-Week SMA for long periods of time, although it's currently its longest time trading up and down the indicator. To be honest, I'm worried it might be invalidated.

Mixers that mix bitcoin without letting it be obvious that it came from a mixer?
Shower thought. What if a mixer only accepted transactions sent to it through the Lightning Network? In theory, it could help with OP's question on how to "hide" the fact that someone used a mixer, because a transaction in the Lightning Network takes multiple hops before making it to the destination. It won't be your actual UTXOs that reaches the mixer. How will outside-observers know that you're actually using a mixer?
shower with some soap thought
locking funds up. and then using said references to then do some offchain swaps where the utxo to unlock of someone elses (random person) then goes to you. is better than spamming the network with traditional mixer span..
.. but if you then advertise that other network(LN) as a privacy enhancing tool (like regulators already recognise LN as a privacy enhancing tool) still gets all the locks to LN  red flagged
yep all them locks listed on 1ml are red flagged as suspicious.

You started the post reasonably, but there you are again, franky1. Starting to include subtle disinformation, and gaslighting techniques.

you love the word gaslighting. but you have no clue.
try to do your own research and stop relying on buddies/peoples teachings..
funny part is i am the one that provides actual data from actual sources of actual things that are actually related.
its your buddies that just quote another buddy who quotes another buddy all with similar mindsets as their "sources". which makes them the gaslighters

go check the FATF policies
https://www.fatf-gafi.org/media/fatf/documents/recommendations/Updated-Guidance-VA-VASP.pdf
heck i even linked them to your lil buddy group. heck i even sumarising a few paragraphs of importance to them.. i even made them colourful to really show the things in a way that might tempt them to read..
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5409206.msg60729993#msg60729993
(its in blue)
and guess what..
the FATF do mention about layered networks promoted as scaling solutions but used as privacy enhancing tools.. so yep FATF are well aware of LN


..
i know your buddies are whispering to you to ignore regulations. dont do research and try to stroke your head back to sleepy land of utopian dreams that LN is the best thing ever and regulators dont know about LN.. all becasue one of their buddies told them so they should tell you that your in a good place with them

but your wrong
to save another if trying to battle your buddies groups ignorance. ill just repeat myself in the same post giving you 2 oppertunities to be brave and do the research by checking
something that is diferent to what your buddies have told you
 
here i picked out just some of the hundreds of things in the wall of text policy(your buddies never read walls of text so i know they did not read the FATF regulations)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5409206.msg60729993#msg60729993
the blue writing will show you that they know of LN and they consider these 'layering systems' and 'scaling solutions' that are promoted as privacy tools as suspect and red flag triggers


I never saw read the updated guidelines before, thanks for posting. OK, I admit my mistake.

Quote

HENSE why i said stop advertising things as "privacy enhancing" and instead call a new smart contract network (with less flaws as LN has) a "property rights" network
then you will have more legal bases to defend against certain things. while then offering a feature that still (without mentioning it) does the functions you need

its called being smart. to find the loop holes of regulations. like how uber disrupted the taxicab industry without calling themselves a taxi service

rather then pretending regulations are not real and then advertising things as the very thing regulators are watching out for/actioning against


this topic is about the topic creator wanting to do a function without it being easily spotted as doing that function..
i gave actual advice..
the certain few people  of a certain group however.. are just saying "dont worry just use a service publicly promoted as doing the function"
(facepalm).. thus they are the ones giving bad advice


Personally, I'm not pretending that regulations don't exist, and "they" the government are not real. In fact, my discussion in another topic about WasabiWallet blocking outputs used for "illegal transactions", and its users accepting the trade off, is something which I believe is the same debate to not ignore regulations because it could cause the user some legal problems years later.


I am not fond of mixing at all, it should be illegal
So asking change for the meter would become illegal too? It still amazes me how many people always ask for more government regulation and less freedom.

Quote
people who will keep doing it for bad purposes
Let me guess: next you'll tell me you have nothing to hide?

LOYCE..
you are kind of realising things. but afraid to step over the line and go against your buddies rhetoric.

the feature of a service that gives out change for a meter. is not regulation red flag.. because.. wait for it.. i think you know. but if not take a seat and wait for it.. [drum role]:

although the function is the same.. ITS NOT ADVERTISED as a mixer. its not promoting itself as a privacy enhancing tool..

get the idea yet? the loop hope i was talking about you guys seem to not get

stop advertising that people should use things defined as mixers, knowing that the use of mixers are the things that get people on watchlists

become smarter. start a new smart contract network without the LN flaws/bugs and bottlenecks.. dont advertise it as a privacy tool. call it a property rights protection network. (secretly it can function to swap coins between users without being on a ledger) and dont advertise it as a mixer/privacy enhancing tool. and so regulations are then not going to go after it.

yep a service giving change for a meter would be red flagged if it continued doing the same service. but started calling itself a privacy enhancing tool/mixer/tumbler(all the keywords of regulation red flags)

its not red flagged because its not advertised as such..
.. simple


From a technical standpoint, would sanctioning the Lightning Network be as easy as sanctioning Tornado Cash? Tornado Cash is a mixer in Ethereum, Lightning is a whole network of nodes from different locations worldwide.
2211  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: August 23, 2022, 06:17:07 AM
I believe there will be many of our fellow plebs who are going to sell from now to 2023, and they will actually be the same plebs who will FOMO back, and help cause another market surge during the next bull cycle. OK, but fellow plebs, the current state of the market is indeed truly frustrating, BUT just HODL. There are people in the market who are currently accumulating Bitcoin, knowing that the risk transfer required to start the next bull cycle is happening. Don't sell to these people, be one of these people.

For sure, I am not going to presume to know how long our current consolidation might last, if we might get lower BTC prices from here, or how far lower any such dip might go. 

You are correct Wind_FURY that this whole down market could last into 2023.. and sure it could last anywhere between another day and another 18 months, so in that regard, there can be quite a bit of uncertainty regarding how much time that any of us has to stack up on sats at these prices and potentially lower BTC prices.

Of course, many of you realize (including you Wind_FURY) that I emphasize buying rather than HODLing, and for sure HODLing would be the second best scenario in the event that you do not have any money left to buy, and I do realize, as Wind_FURY mentioned, that there are going to be quite a few current bitcoiners (HODLers/Newbies) who could well get shaken out of their coins in the coming months as long as the BTC price does not go up from here...   Yet this way of thinking about the future presumes either that BTC prices are going down from here, or the amount of up (perhaps flat) that we get from here, will not be enough to inspire confidence in continuing to HODL whatever BTC that the current HODLers happen to have... These could be signs of either being over-invested or just NOT having enough conviction in regards to having had bought BTC in recent times and likely being in the negative for a decent amount of time while bills are coming due and fear continues to linger about whether the BTC price is going to go up from here at any point in time in the near future.


I believe the problem is "it's not having enough conviction" in HODLing. Over-investing + conviction = mentally insane person who can HODL in ALL kinds of market situations. Although buying during the DIPs of 2019 truly would help if you're HODLing today, it wasn't very easy during 2019, and especially during the Covid Crash of 2020. Placing your coins in cold storage will definitely help you from the temptation of selling.

You would be technically correct, but "they" didn't care about that when "they" sanctioned Tornado Cash.


I'm more than that: There's absolutely no sign from governments and AML services that a Wasabi CoinJoin is the holly grail of bitcoin outputs. Just because they've hired one chain analysis company to tell them which outputs they've analyzed completely shadily and non-transparently, and have reached the conclusion that are likely, according to their undisclosed measures, to be suspicious, it doesn't mean the rest of the world thinks likewise.


That's not the point, because it's all not about you, or what you believe, or all about the rest of the world. It's also about "them", and "their" policies. WasabiWallet merely took the decision to block "illegal transactions" as a preventive measure.

Quote

What would happen to all of those outputs that went through Tornado Cash?


I honestly don't know how it works,


It's a mixer.

Quote

don't know how reliable that was,


Probably reliable enough.

Quote

and neither how they identified that the outputs come from Tornado Cash. I have never used Ethereum.


Let's assume they can, and will. What would happen to all of those outputs that went to a sanctioned mixer?

Quote

WasabiWallet took the decision to block outputs used in "illegal transactions" as defined by "them", as a way to avoid "them" from sanctioning Wasabi.


I'm afraid they'll just block lots of transactions, some of which are going to be "illegal", and leave it there. You can't know for sure they've avoided sanctioning, but they're doing fine so far by bootlicking the authorities' beloved analysis company.


If you were nopara73, what decision would you make, that you believe, would be best for yourself, WasabiWallet, and its users?

I have my answer, I would like to hear yours first.

truly untainted outputs


What the fuck. Truly untainted, based on who? By default, every output is "truly untainted", because bitcoins are fungible. That's what we're saying pages now.


Based on "them", and "their rules". If you were truly reading my posts, you would truly get the context of my posts.

Quote


Protection from government sanctions.


No. If 10 out of the 300 inputs that are used in CoinJoin are "tainted" according to the chain analysis company, they can't file a lawsuit to every user who's part of the CoinJoin, that's just nonsense. Zero protection there. That's probably why they're implementing blacklisting in the first place.


You would be technically correct, but "they" didn't care about that when "they" sanctioned Tornado Cash. And that was the point. What would happen to all of those outputs that went through Tornado Cash?

WasabiWallet took the decision to block outputs used in "illegal transactions" as defined by "them", as a way to avoid "them" from sanctioning Wasabi. It's the user's choice if he/she wants to take the trade off of using Wasabi, or not.

Quote

As illustrated by Tornado's sanction, will exchanges and other services really accept all those outputs that can be connected to Tornado? I believe they will not take that risk.


You're going off-topic again. Show me what protection do the users gain. The ability to send money to anti-privacy and pro-censorship services that treat bitcoin as non-fungible and enforce claptrap rules is irrelevant.


Did you get my point/debate, or are you trying not to? I don't know why many people are so provoked by the trade off taken by WasabiWallet, and its users.

n0nce, when you posted "WasabiWallet has no government blacklist", you mean they're not in a blacklist, is that correct?

so you would need to create a whole new smart contract network. NOT advertise it as a privacy enhancing network (while physically ensuring you dont ask for info that breaks privacy) but where the other network facilitates legitimate usage and more then just a niche things. oh and also where the routing/payment process does not require a gossip policy to publicly displaying fund locks as part (because yea thats not actually privacy in the first place) to ensure its not super easy to know which locks are tied to LN channels.. because yea common sense..
a network advertising itself as a privacy tool but by default publicly gossips all the utxo's linked to its network references of channels.. is not really then private


I found this editorial opinion about the Gossip Protocol and the users' privacy from Bitcoin Magazine, which I will read later, https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/bitcoin-lightning-gossip-protocol-privacy

Plus in theory, having a mixer accept Lightning Network deposits and withdrawals might not be needed because Lightning could already act as a "pseudo-mixer" when a user sends a transaction through multiple hops to himself. I believe it will be those "unintentional use cases" that might bring more demand for Lightning transactions.
2216  Economy / Gambling / Re: What is a game you would like to see in an online crypto casino? on: August 22, 2022, 05:25:08 AM
Common but pretty much enjoyable since this game is easy to play and understand that's why many gamblers love this game. And also many think that this is more easier to win because the selection of colors are few so I guess its not surprising to see that many gamblers are still playing this even if there are so many games selection offered by various casinos.
Gamblers prefer games that can be won easily compared to challenging games because of the small chance of games that are difficult to win, so it doesn't matter if the game will be boring but can get passive advantage from games that are easy to play, but because it includes dice games, the team will update resource game for hard-to-win levels with high bets.


I believe not. Gamblers who prefer games without using the brain are a different type of gambler from those gamblers who prefer to play more "thinking games", like BlackJack, Poker, and Craps. I'm not saying that they don't like to think, or they have a low Intelligence Quotient, but the Bitcoin gambling community needs to promote those games that attract a different class of gambler, not just those who prefer to randomly click/tap bet.

Yeah! Blackjack.fun is constantly evolving. It means that the developers of the site do not stop on the achieved and they do everything possible for attracting new users. All this also affects the attendance of blackjack.fun it is constantly growing.


They will have more surprising things in the upcoming version. Hopefully, we will see the update sooner. It's delaying but we know late is always better than never. The team is very hard working. In the near future, I hope this will be bigger than Top Smiley


I hope the team also includes Evolution's craps dice games, either live craps or the first person game, to the site during the upgrade to Version 3! The current craps game the site has doesn't load. I have already informed the admin in the chat. I believe ANYONE who likes to play BlackJack will also like playing craps. It also requires strategy to play, it's not merely a game for throwing the dice to get lucky.

Plus the site also has a "genre" called "craps", but those games are not really craps games, except for one game, the game that doesn't load.
2219  Economy / Gambling / Re: Question for regular casino players. Will you use Lightning if available? on: August 20, 2022, 08:36:26 AM
I want to ask again, and this time to the users. Will you use the Lightning Network if available? Or will you continue to use whichever altcoin you're currently using?

Lightening network is not what much casinos are in a look after and same is applicable to the gamblers as well, using a lightening network is by far a better option as long as the conditions warrant such which will help the payment system more faster and to cover as mny as possible transactions within a shortest time but users will always prefer using their altcoins in gambling because they have some varieties of them which are mostly supported by the casino they use.


Plus there's a hidden "feature" in using the Lightning Network, "in theory". It's also an off-chain layer not just for faster, and cheaper transactions, it can help with your privacy too. Because if you send yourself a transaction, your transaction in Lightning takes multiple hops, and you receive outputs that are not connected to those UTXOs you sent.

I believe that's one of the "hidden reason" why there's so much disinformation, FUD, and gaslighting regarding basic information about Lightning. There might be entities that don't plebs like us to use it.

A lot of poker game tournaments have been announced on this board over time, and am I kind of wondering what makes poker games so inclined to the tournament and we don't see such competitions being announced for other games?

I do think that it is highly because of the nature of the game itself.

Unlike other card games such as blackjack, etc., they fairly end quickly and the process is relatively simple compared to the techniques involved in poker. In addition, poker is one of those card games that mix luck, skill, and technique in order for you to win the game. Either you win due to the overwhelming card quality that you have on the pool, or because you bluffed the opponent even if your hand is bad.


BlackJack requires some skill to win profitably too, but it's a different set of skills from poker. In poker, I believe it's a mix of math, probability and psychology because you are also playing against another player. In BlackJack it's more on just the math and probability, but it can be a good card game for tournaments.

There's another casino game that requires skill to win profitability, and it's like BlackJack because it's more about just the math and probability. It's the dice game called CRAPS. Every gambler in the forum should play it.
