2381  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dealing with ISP block on Gambling websites on: June 30, 2022, 08:50:38 AM
But please make sure in advance if the casino allows VPN use because some casinos don't and some allow it. Maybe for the terms of using a VPN, we must visit the casino site and log in with our real IP so that the casino can see the machine number on our device.
I rarely find casino sites that apply restrictions on the use of VPS and DNS, all terms and conditions are only limited based on the list of countries that are not allowed, all countries that are allowed can be accessed directly without VPN and DNS but it depends on the ISP of each country. So if you are an active gambler then it is better to subscribe to premium VPN and DNS to avoid suspicion while evaluating user data by casino site admins.

Maybe for unrestricted use of DNS but I don't know if it's a VPN because if someone can win a lot of money from various games, they can be asked to verify their account and the casino will ask about the VPN they are using. Somehow, the casino can tell if someone is using a VPN or is using their real IP. Therefore, it is better to be careful when using a VPN for gambling and make sure that the casino allows the use of a VPN. Even if we are not active gambler, it is better if we subscribe to a VPN to avoid tracking from hackers who want to know our location.


Or maybe before making your first deposit to a blocked casino by your ISP, why not tell the casino itself ahead of time that you will be using a VPN, and the reason WHY you're going to a VPN. I believe most of the online casinos in crypto are OK with it because privacy is more valued by the users in crypto than the no-coiners who play in fiat online casinos.
2382  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Roger ver got liquidated and owes like 47 million to CoinFLIX on: June 30, 2022, 08:39:19 AM

Roger Ver is one of those Bitcoin personalities who has destroyed his own reputation, and probably wasted his precious Bitcoins to invest in business/companies based on his forked-shitcoin Bitcoin Cash. It would have been his best move if he kept quiet and did nothing. He would probably be one of the biggest Bitcoin billionaires in crypto.

During the scaling debate, I believe Jihan Wu used him.

His reputation was already exploded when people got to know about his ebay fiasco  Cool
But this time, he's left with no reputation+probably no money either




https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/vmvq8g/whistleblower_reveals_inside_look_at_coinflexs/


Was that about Roger Ver and his fireworks business before he became a popular Bitcoin personality? I believe that didn't give him a bad reputation as a Bitcoiner because no one cared about it. What destroyed it was his support of Jihan Wu and the Chinese Mining Cartel's "big block" hard fork.

PLUS, if he literally did NOTHING from an investment standpoint, his Bitcoin would all be in profit and he would have enough capital for himself, and his grandchildren's grandchildren. Has he really lost everything that he has defaulted on a leveraged trade in Bitcoin Cash?

Good for you mate! I’m sure the 5BTC wagered level will get additional benefits on the next update. I was surprised that you managed to farm wager in patient way. Do you just use the roulette and dice in daily basis then use the hourly, daily, weekly reward to recover losses on farming? I usually failed to do it consistently and always end up on playing blackjack to recover my loss while I’m always losing my capital.  Cheesy

How much profit you got so far on your 3 weeks journey?

I no longer play roulette because there is no auto bet now I prefer to play on Rocket dice and Plinko it's easier with auto bet.


I'm curious how large are the surges and declines from winning to losing, or from losing to winning within that three week period of auto-betting.

Quote

Yes that's right, I recover losses from hourly/daily/weekly rewards and at least I should finish in 5-6th place
Overall I still make a profit even if it's only a few mbtc not bad  Smiley


If I make $1.00 auto-bets for the same three week period as yours, how much profit would I have using the "farming method"? I believe you discovered something very nice there.

I will share you my trick. Download auto clicker for desktop and setup the pointer of the auto-clicker to the position of play and skip button since it’s same position. The only downside of this method is you can’t use your computer while running it. Been using this trick before but now I rarely gamble due to my personal business needs to be manage directly by me.

Roulette will give you less risk compared to dice and plinko while you can save a lot of balance and take more profit. Good luck!


Is using external software while playing allowed by Blackjack.fun?

Finally today I reached 5 BTC wagered  Smiley I did it in 3 weeks because I started actively betting since the last 3 weeks
Not as imagined when I thought it was so difficult but I hear discussion here how they use the best strategy and I follow it
Even today my wager is 900mbtc because I hunt daily contest , so how about you guys?




 Shocked

5 BTC wagered in just three weeks? That's very impressive, ser. We mere newbies would like to be taught how you do it. What games were you playing, how much do you bet per roll/game/pull, how large is the weekly cashback, and most importantly, what's your profit - loss ratio like? Plus how do you not become emotional during playing? That's the problem for me, I easily get angry at a loss of $50.00.

2386  Economy / Gambling / Re: Question for regular casino players. Will you use Lightning if available? on: June 29, 2022, 06:51:42 AM
I do not think implementing lighting is even a question. You just need to see that even if a limited number of users are willing to use it because it confers and advantage then is a question of using it to create an advantage to gather more users to use your site. From my user perspective, sure lighting is much welcome. The more alternatives the better for me.


Would you then be 100% sure to use the Lightning Network if it was available in your favorite casino? Because I'm starting to believe that more than 50% of the people who posted "yes" in the topic, won't actually use it once they learn that it will require an extra step to put Sats in your Lightning Wallet, and another extra step to convert them back to Bitcoin. If you use a custodial service/app like BlueWallet, you would need a third party service like, https://zigzag.io/
I have been hearing lightning network and I don't know how it was even to compare it with the casino gambling game I want to know the difference between this lightning network and bitcoin and the casino game does it mean that this lightning network is a very important to the extent that it consist on it home like a Bitcoin or it is a network that support the industry of Bitcoin procession I think I need more explanation

To understand all the advantages of the Lightning Network, you must, of course, try to use this network yourself.  This is not difficult.  By the way, after the legalization of bitcoins in El Salvador, the use of LN there has grown many times over.  Of course, at first it may seem difficult when you need to block a little Satoshi in the channel.  But then everything becomes easy. 


Is that true? Because what is implemented by the El Salvadorian government is their Chivo Wallet app, which I believe to be a custodial wallet. The transactions made through the app are not Bitcoin transactions. They're mere IOUs that can be censored.

Quote

I support those casinos that will introduce such a form of payments as LN.  The more such casinos, the better.


It can become quite technical if you want to use it non-custodially. I will ask the Lightning experts how to use it without depending on a third party.
2387  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: PoW will eventually cause a Death Spiral in any coin dumb enough to keep it. on: June 28, 2022, 12:21:26 PM
They claim PoW tech is the greatest, and yet can't point to any new PoW coins since 2020
Because those who support PoW have no need of any other new, pointless, garbage, centralized shitcoins
(I am a Proud Bitcoin Cult Member, everything not BTC is Shit!!)
 whose purpose is to just enrich developers and create new whales. You're going to need further persuasion to make a miner work for it. Unfortunately, we might not form the overwhelming majority. Most developers out there, with the slightest integrity, spend their time on developing apps to give solutions to notorious problems when an open-source libre software that has already resolved them efficiently exists.

Listen Kat,  

If PoW Tech were superior , then the majority of new coins would be using it.

The fact that you guys , have failed to name even one new PoW since 2020 points to your failure to promote it as a consensus technology.


It's because it's VERY HARD to bootstrap a non-scam/non-shitcoin POW cryptocurrency network, which instead makes shitcoin "developers" print tokens out of thin air to bootstrap their "POS network". I'm not saying POW is perfect, or Bitcoin will never die, BUT it has been running for more than 10 years, chugging along without downtime. Bitcoin's life expectancy will be longer than expected. The Lindy Effect.
2388  Economy / Gambling / Re: Blackjack.fun | 0.28% House edge | Live tables | Baccarat |Slots| InstantWithraw on: June 28, 2022, 12:05:46 PM
I have withdrawn amounts $50.00 to $100.00 from the site, and it has always indicated a different fee value in Bitcoin everytime. I believe the withdrawal fees depend on network congestion, and the size of the withdrawal.



The fees shouldn't depend on the size of the withdrawal but solely on the current network congestion and if the casino has to break up multiple UTXOs to send you your coins. But what is the minimum amount that the casino allows to be withdrawn in BTC? Neither you nor Eternad mentioned that. Don't they post the information somewhere on the withdrawal page/tab like almost all other casinos?


I'm sorry, I only assumed that it MIGHT also be the size of the withdrawal. I never said that it was definitely the case.

For the question, "What's the minimum?", this is only another assumption, but I believe it might be for as long as you can pay the withdrawal fee, your transaction will go through. But who will withdraw $1.00 of Bitcoin if his/her entire balance is $2.00 with a withdrawal fee of $1.00?

Everything might be clear in Version 3.0 with its UI/UX improvements.

@Pmalek will definitely get only an exact answer since he will write it down on his table for the casino withdrawal fee.

Is the UI/UX improvement is part of the major changes on version 3.0 aside from additional social features such as PM, tip and sharing achievements. I really like the current aesthetics because I can choose my preferred background and theme on the settings which only this casino have.


Which should be very easy for BlackJack.fun to fix. But after withdrawing $50.00 - $100.00 at a time, and I just remembered I also had a withdrawal of about $25.00, I'm confident the minimum withdrawal amount isn't very high, and that it's very easy for many people like me who are only "light users".

2390  Economy / Economics / Re: WHY ITS SO POSITIVE THIS BEARMARKET. on: June 28, 2022, 09:52:13 AM
What's very positive about this bear market is, the narrative isn't "Bitcoin is dead". The current narrative is, "how low will Bitcoin crash, so I can Buy the DIP, HODL".
I agree on this narrative. Before, wheneve we hit a bear market, there were those negativity spreader and they're telling that bitcoin was dead and it will never recover.


Because they truly ever understood the "Honey Badger", and what underlying value it's bringing to this world, and what it's real underlying nature is. We haven't seen the full power of Bitcoin's capabilities, which can break down political strongholds. The attacker and the defender would be required to HODL Bitcoin.

Quote

But this time, it's all about the craze and desire to buy at the dip so that they can buy some and collect as many as they can while we're seeing the dip of bitcoin.


They're learning, the HARD WAY. Cool

OP, it's also not only about "cleaning" the dumb money, in fact I wish it didn't happen because many people, especially newbies, lost their savings because of trading WITH TOO MUCH LEVERAGE.

Hi blackjack.fun,

I would like to know what is the minimum withdrawal amount in your casino and how much are you charging your players in withdrawal fees?
I would check this myself on your site, but the information isn't public, and players who don't have any funds in their accounts can't open the withdrawal page.

In my thread about Withdrawal Fees and Withdrawal Amounts on Crypto Casinos, BlackJack.Fun is mentioned as not having any minimum amounts. Apparently, that's no longer the case. If you take a look at the last couple of posts in the linked thread, you will see that a player attempted to withdraw 0.0001 BTC, but he/she received a message that the amount is too small.   


I have withdrawn amounts $50.00 to $100.00 from the site, and it has always indicated a different fee value in Bitcoin everytime. I believe the withdrawal fees depend on network congestion, and the size of the withdrawal. But what I noticed is that the withdrawal fee will be a little higher than the average requirement, to ensure that your withdrawal is included in the next block.
2394  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: why can't bitcoin be based on something that has value? on: June 27, 2022, 09:01:06 AM

BUT to take the topic seriously, OP is asking the WRONG question. He didn't consider the actual history of Money, and how things without value, became items of value, https://nakamotoinstitute.org/shelling-out/

i'm actually a big fan of the history of money and one of my big ideas is if bitcoin could have a physical representation without needing verification digitally. so you could just hand a bitcoin to someone as a payment without any government or central entity backing. but that's a separate topic for another thread sometime. perhaps if you know so much about money and how it evolved over human history you could contribute to this idea of mine. we need to keep this thread on topic though...


It's actually not. You were debating if Bitcoin's "value" should be based on something backing it, "that has value". If you got the context why I was bringing up the history of money, it's because the properties that Bitcoin already has is in fact of value, with censorship-resistance as one of Bitcoin's main value propositions. But we also have to acknowledge that the true nature of Bitcoin might not be priced in yet, and it might be illustrated by a sanctioned-Russia.
2395  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin, I salute your final ATH. on: June 25, 2022, 10:50:02 AM
im no trader but to my untradered eye this chart appears to contain confirmations indicating there are more ticks before, in fact there are more than 6. The chance of double spend here is astronomically small.




You might trick newbies and scare them, but you will be remembered as the person who made them believe that Bitcoin will not surge to another ATH again, WHEN it's in actual ATH again. Keep trolling, and continue the swindle of making everyone believe that BCash SV is the real Bitcoin. Bitcoin will reach six digits, and you will keep posting that meme. It will be laughable.
2396  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: [Megathread] The long-known PoW vs. PoS debate on: June 25, 2022, 10:37:12 AM


Here's another shower thought. What if a developer builds, and bootstraps a new cryptocurrency network based on POS, and if you want to join the network as a validator, you can buy the tokens, BUT, only through Bitcoin.


Isn't this Merged mining Proof of Stake?


No, I didn't think of it that way, just simply if you want to participate in the hypothetical POS Network, you need Bitcoin and can ONLY use Bitcoin to receive the POS token.

Quote


Does that make the new POS cryptocurrency network backed by Bitcoin's POW?


It is definitely backed by bitcoin, and since bitcoin relies on PoW, it's indirectly backed by PoW. Not something "environmental evangelists" like LegendaryK are going to support of.


Bitcoin needs to be mined, to buy the POS token.  Cool


So... Why don't you buy bitcoin?


You can buy if you want to, but the context still is, all Bitcoins in existence are created into existence as block rewards received from mining.
2397  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: why can't bitcoin be based on something that has value? on: June 25, 2022, 08:55:22 AM
i think what the summarised answer(in question form analogy) to what the topic creator is asking is:

why arnt house prices fixed a stable square metre amount that all houses are backed by

totally forgetting the features and utility of what a house is and does and forgetting that people in different regions have different supply or demand. even if a house ultimately on the market does show houses do have value and when comparing the square metre 'comps' per year shows a more stable value rate than the volatile market price of houses sold each hour of the day

in short the market price of each house sold hourly is not the same as the average/minimum comps. but that does not mean that houses have no underlying value

a house does not need to be backed by gold or pegged to something else.
its intrinsic underlying value is the 'comps'
bitcoins underlying value is the mining costs (asics and electric)
golds intrinsic underlying value is its mining costs (diesel, digger and sluice machines)

the price is then the speculative buffer/layer of cheap or premium volatility amount above this underlying value that backs it


I believe you're giving OP too much credit. His post-history is very revealing that he likes trolling in the forum. Probably because the crash made him lose money in trading, OR he's holding coins bought near ATH and he trolls to relieve him from the stress of HODLing.

BUT to take the topic seriously, OP is asking the WRONG question. He didn't consider the actual history of Money, and how things without value, became items of value, https://nakamotoinstitute.org/shelling-out/
2398  Economy / Gambling / Re: KYC casino or no-KYC casino, but with no bonuses/no cashback? on: June 25, 2022, 08:41:47 AM
I prefer no KYC  with the exception of users that are questionable, reputation is what counts, but it's hard for a casino to do non-KYC if they are licensed and want to be compliant, they also need KYC for users who they think are violating their rules.

KYC now protects both players and casinos, but we are in a Cryptocurrency environment where players want to protect their sensitive information.  


I should have explained it more when I started the topic, but to get more context I'm thinking about a casino that's built directly on top of Bitcoin or the Lightning Network, like DirectBet. No accounts, no registrations, just Bitcoin transactions. Plus to help preserve censorship-resistance, let's pretend the UI of the hypothetical casino was running on the TOR Network.
2399  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Coin margin or multi asset? on: June 24, 2022, 11:56:27 AM
OP, it's a bear market, if you want to be safe, use fiat/stablecoins. But quickly shift to using Bitcoin during bull markets because your capital grows in fiat-value during price surges, giving you more opportunities to take more and larger trade sizes. BUT if you ask me, just HODL. Don't lose more of your capital by making stupid trades in this kind of market.


Thanks, I understand, but traders do not have to stop to trade in bull or bear market, though traders can hold more of their assets during bull market. What traders are mostly concious about is a less volatile market to make profit, it can be during bull or during bear. Traders always continue to trade, using low leverage is better and having risk management plan.


Traders actually like more volatility, up or down, because that's where they can make the most of their profits. That's why many young people made enough capital during 2016 and 2017's bull cycle, and reinvested again and became millionaires during 2020 and 2021's bull cycle. Markets that don't move much, won't make you profits much because the price movements are small.
2400  Economy / Gambling / Re: KYC casino or no-KYC casino, but with no bonuses/no cashback? on: June 24, 2022, 11:33:15 AM
I counted six for KYC, and most of everyone for non-KYC, with others having an opinion, but without a clear choice.

If you were given a choice, would you play regularly in a cryptocurrency casino WITH KYC, and with added benefits like first deposit/welcome bonuses and cashbacks?
Who will refuse those offers?  and also the security you can have and the advantage you can take? of course I will be on this track in first place.

if I have to choose?then this is what i wanted.

Quote
Or would you like to play regularly in a casino, WITHOUT KYC, BUT also without the welcome bonuses, cashbacks and other extra rewards?

Why would someone use this above the first? because of privacy ? and what comes next? being a victim of scamming? and then what? cry?


I'm not talking about a centralized casino site with just a "promise" that the service will be without KYC "forever". I'm talking about a site like DirectBet. A site that's built directly on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. You don't register an account, you just need your Bitcoin wallet, make a bet, send your Bitcoin, and if you won the site will send your Bitcoin back to you + amount won.
