Advertising is the key, you don't have to use a website that you own, just make use of existing advertising networks or search engine advertising.
The hard part is that you have to be able to buy clicks cheap enough so you can turn a profit.

By trial and error, you'll know on what keywords to bid, which networks you should use and what to write in the ad itself.

Having your own website is a big plus, you'll basically be able to advertise for free, but if you don't have one the options listed above can also work.

How about some renewed interest in Russia? I have no idea how large their influence would be on a global scale, but I do think it's possible that we'll see more adoption there.
Putin recently called for regulations of crypto, but without prohibiting them.

Source: http://bitcoinist.com/vladimir-putin-endorses-blockchain-russia/

I'm curious to see what other people think about this...

I am not sure, but I think people overestimate Russia, I do agree however that India and maybe even china could be a catalyst.

Also, thinking about it, all these government "ICOs" by Venezuela are a very good sign I think. As any exchange can list the currency and allow people to convert these worthless tokens to better ones say, Bitcoin. Thus opening the gate for the whole population to adopt this new technology.

Thinking that many governments won't realise this when launching these new "E-Currencies".

I'm not sure that I agree with you that these government ICO's are a good sign, specifically in the case of Venezuala's Petro.
Petro is essentially a dictatorship issued crypto, backed by Venezuela's oil reserves. People there can't even use their own currency (Bolivar) to buy into Petro.

I'd like to see other countries develop their own form of crypto-currency, hoping they'd do it differently than Venezuela.

Some reading material on Petro:
https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2018-02-25/venezuela-s-petro-cryptocurrency-won-t-help-debt
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-22/venezuelans-unable-to-buy-maduro-s-cryptocurrency-with-bolivars

From the second article:
Quote
Investors will have to overlook confusion about how the currency will operate. The white paper says the Petro is built on the Ethereum network, while the user guide the government published says it’s on the Nem network. There are also questions as to whether the $735 million raised so far touted by the government is true, as the public Petro blockchain shows inflows for about half of that.

Bitcoin allows you to be in control of your own money, you don't have to rely on big financial institutions anymore to safeguard your money.
You also have the freedom to use this money for whatever purpose you like, donating to wikileaks for example. Can't do that with cc or paypal anymore.

It's transactions are still a lot faster than with traditional banking and they're slowly getting up to par with CCs

Gridcoin is a pretty interesting project in that regard, since it makes the electricity consumption of mining go towards scientific distributed computing.
You're basically helping with scientific research by getting rewarded for completing computational work on BOINC.

If I was just in it for the money, I don't think I would still be posting here, regardless of any signature campaigns.
Don't really see what you're trying to say with this post to be honest, all just in order to promote this 'Winnercoin'?

I'm going to be completely honest with you, the chances that Coinbase will do anything for you are very low.
Checking their support pages, they're pretty clear that sending ICO to your Coinbase ETH wallet will result in loss of coins.

Source: https://support.coinbase.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2829461-altcoins-and-icos

I've also taken the time to check if there were any similar situations in which users did get their ICO tokens back... I didn't find any success stories.

You should still try contacting support and hope for the best. Just remember that they are not obliged to help you.
2248  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How safe is Bitcoin gambling on: February 23, 2018, 01:44:59 PM
The winning rate is so low but we can still win like if you can bet a lot while 2x your bets so it can happen that you can win in crypto gambling like in many dice games here in forum,my answer is base on real experience in dice because i don't want to play if only have btc for my bet so it safe but risky.

You're talking out of your ass right there. How is the winning rate so low? Compared to what? Traditional casinos?
Most traditional casinos don't even list the house edge on their games, unless they are legally required to do so in certain countries.

I can pretty much guarantee that the house edge is lower at crypto casinos.
2249  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Softwares used to translate on: February 23, 2018, 12:25:04 PM
The idea is that I want to participate in Bounty Programs.
I saw people that are translating websites.To do this shouldn't you to put the website link in html or something?
I don't know if I explain good.
For example I saw text in images translated from english in indonesian. For this I think the user used Adobe Photoshop to do this.
I am right?
My question is: to translate a website you don't need any software to put html codes there?

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding you, indeed. Most websites have a control panel that allows translators to easily make localized versions of that website.
ICO promotion images are indeed probably created with Photoshop, but the translations are done by humans.

I doubt that website translators actually have to use html these days. Most websites are using some kind of CMS which has built-in features for adding translations (not for actually translating though)

Edit: I just wanted to add that each ICO probably uses a different system or CMS for their website. If you're a translator you typically don't have to worry about that, you just need to be good at translating. You can always learn to use their back-end infrastructure to input those translations.

Some troubles with todays maintenance...we'll be back when everything will be in place. Sorry for downtime.

edit: fixed.

Yeah, noticed that it ran kinda slow the first hour or so after it was done, might be unrelated though.
Still, good to see that my inactive referrals were also removed. This also happens after these updates, right? Or I must be remembering the number wrong Smiley
2251  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Addiction? on: February 23, 2018, 11:40:32 AM
Because crypto made trading so easy for every user to do it became a problem for those who are getting easy addicted by activities that prommise easy money.
Those who have gambling addiction might develop an addiction with trading because is is a fine line betweeen the two. I advice those who know to have this kind of problems to stay away from crypto or assign someone to manage theyr portofolio because it could wuin them.

I have a friend who got over his gambling addiction after loosing all the money, car, house and famlily. He was clean for 3 year and the got into crypto trading. This was a slope that got him to gamble again and invest money he can not afford. The difference is that now the admited he has a problem and is getting treatment for this.

So my advice is to be very carrefull about this game. Dont let it ruin your life and dont be ashamed to get help.
Gambling is a total different ball game and anyone in this sort of environment looking for money, is definitely not making the right call, because they will never find it. However, when relating what the OP said to general investment, the idea of making use of every opportunity, waking up every day and expecting something new all makes it ball down to the fact that we all want to be part of an existing future.

The truth is that no one wants to miss out, and even if I find myself in the crypto investment world a huge percentage of the time, I will only count it as being smart and not addicted.

I think that it is sort of the same as a gambling addiction though. You get addicted to gambling because you're basically triggering the reward center in your brain each time you 'roll the dice'.
Same could be said about trading, I'm sure that day traders can really get addicted to the thrill of making a big amount of profit in a short amount of time.

Your brain doesn't care if you're gambling or trading, it only cares about getting that sweet release of chemicals.
2252  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which coin do you think is best for gambling? on: February 23, 2018, 11:26:33 AM
I personally prefer dogecoin and ethereum but these days ethereum also have network congestion and fee is really high so dogecoin is best right now.

Raiblocks is another coin that have no confirmation time and zero fee and I think it will be accepted in some casino soon because nobody wants to wait for hours to get confirmation and pay high fees just to move coins in and out of the casino.

What other coins you guys think can be viable option for crypto based casinos?


I think ethereum is the best too. But we all know that as the journey of eth goes by and continues and we know that it is the best partner of bitcoin when it comes in about transactions and etc. ethereum is one of the best we can use in playing gambling or make it as bankroll but then we can see a big pump or very sharp rise and I doubted if their are still on us using ethereum as bankroll instead on using it they use some coins just like dash or doge coin when the place bets.

I will rather suggest litecoins since they confirm even faster and cheaper than bitcoin and are also relatively cheap on the market compared to their other leading cryptocurrencies. Not many are accepting it just yet but i think litecoins are better for gambling to me than ethereum.

I've also used Litecoin more and more for gambling. I started using Litecoin because the Bitcoin fees were so high at the time, but even with low fees, I continue using it because transactions confirm faster.
Also allows me to make smaller bets on the website I'm playing on, Bitcoin minimum bets were just getting too high in USD value for me.

I see a lot of members mentioning ETH, but I've never really been into using ETH.
2253  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Softwares used to translate on: February 23, 2018, 11:15:22 AM
Well, you have enough people here from many different countries, some might have higher degrees in linguistics even.
They just translate manually, I'd assume. If I was a campaign manager, I would not be paying a dime for something that's translated by an app.

Do you have any examples of threads being translated by an app? Are people being paid for doing that?
2254  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Softwares used to translate on: February 23, 2018, 10:48:28 AM
Really don't use a tool for that, hire people to translate those kinds of threads for you.
I don't think any sort of translation software is up to par yet with human translation, prove me wrong if you think otherwise.

I you can't dish out the funds for a couple of translators, you shouldn't be running an ICO or whatever.

Or you weren't thinking of offering your services as a translator and using an app to translate, I hope?

If you just want some help with a few words, Google translate is fine, but also check another source
2255  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Transaction fee down to $0.11! SegWit works! on: February 23, 2018, 10:29:44 AM
Bitcoin transaction fee is down to $3, average cost of sending a bitcoin transaction is cheaper than it's been in a year and a half, showing the price isn't the cryptocurrency's only unpredictable metric these days.

https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-low-fees-why-happening-why-matters/

You can get away with paying far less than 3 dollars, even with non-segwit transactions. You don't have to pay 100 sats/byte
My transactions are going to pretty fast at 5 sats/byte

On bitcoinfees.earn.com you can see that transactions under 10 sats/byte still get confirmed in about 2 blocks
2256  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Transaction fee down to $0.11! SegWit works! on: February 22, 2018, 10:10:00 PM
Segwit usage is still low. It is more likely that transaction volume has dropped because the crash scared a lot of people away.

Segwit usage is still barely at 10%, but I would say that it is very slowly going up.
I also doubt that this has a big effect on the current mempool size, probably some effect though...



Take a look at these charts of segwit usage:

But I don't think that was the point that OP was making, he's just happy that he's saving so much on fees.
2257  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your Dice gambling strategy? on: February 22, 2018, 04:40:09 PM
When playing dice, I really enjoy betting with high payouts, like x175 for example. Other than that I don't really use a specific strategy.
Once I hit my x175 target, I usually up my bet size and go for x45. i just choose these number arbitrarily, I don't believe in superstition or anything like that.

I don't really have much fun playing on a low multiplier, but that's just me...
2258  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin still exist in your country? on: February 22, 2018, 03:35:58 PM
I wonder,that the other country didnt accept bitcoin.
What does this even mean? No, really, I'm having trouble deciphering this comment.. Care to use Google translate or something to be able to phrase your question better?
I'm really surprised that other people are able to give you any sort of answer. They must be some really great linguists or something, it blows my mind.
2259  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: What to do when you have a great idea and nothing else? on: February 22, 2018, 12:23:00 PM
The most important thing you can do is just start working on your idea and learn all skills needed while you're doing that.
There's a big chance that you will fail, but you will gain a lot of experience by going for a hands on approach.

Skills that you learn while you're working on this particular project can be used later in life.

Remember that starting is the hardest part.
2260  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Martingale for win, my own experience on: February 22, 2018, 10:54:17 AM
There's a thread about this martingale strategy and you can read some feedback about how it worked and how it didn't work for them https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=610339.2100 it might have worked for you but it will not work to everyone. You are a gambler and you should know that its a game of chance. I tried it when I was new and curious about the strategy and no, it didn't work for me.

It's not really a question if martingale 'works' or not, martingale does work, it's simple. You cover your losses by doubling your next bet, what's not to work?

It being profitable in the long run is a different thing...
You would need a literally infinite bankroll for it. Losing streaks that last +10 turns aren't that uncommon and I've also seen +20 turn losing streaks.
