I think most people wants to conform to the norm and they are wary to challenge those norms and standards. We live in a world where most people live like sheep. There are only a few people that will have the courage to test something "new" and also to push the boundaries of what the society deems to be the standard.

The educational (FIAT) system, still teach the old school financial tools and structures, so we should focus on adding "new" tools and ideas to that system. 

In my experience, most startup exchanges and relative new exchanges have no serious issues with "Coin tainting" ...because they are simply too focused on building a large user base. (The same goes for KYC requirements at casinos) .... once they reached their target, they suddenly start asking KYC verification and they they start to adhere to strict regulations.

Also, most of the support personal do not even know what you are talking about, they just give you some generic answer that was prepared for them. 

I think it is time for someone to be innovative and to redesign the whole "Crash" engine. Most of these casinos are using the same "Crash" engine, with only some slight changes to the graphics (Fire footballs or rockets or charts) and also the color scheme.

Game developers should bring in something "new" ....like team modes, where people go head to head against each other in a P v P scenario. They should also fix some of the bugs... (timeouts on big multipliers) that happens when there are a huge multiplier or the lag issues. 

Well the DICE configuration is 1.0102 Multiplier / 2.00 Roll Over / 98% Win Chance ...... with 1000 x $1 bets. The LIMBO configuration are similar, with a Target Multiplier of 1.01 and a Win Chance of 98.01980198% and also doing 1000 x $1 bets.  

I do 1000 bets on each to see if Stake are feeding..... and if my losses are above $15 (which happens more than 60% of the time) .. I just stop wagering.

Do you have a configuration that gives better results?

I hope they are not cutting down indigenous wood for this? In my country we use firewood, but the wood we are using are from invasive trees. These invasive trees are taking large amounts of water from the ground and they also kill other indigenous trees, because they take their water. 

I guess the wood briquettes industry are making a killing in Europe now.. and also briquettes that are being imported from other countries. (What is cheaper.... Gas or briquettes that are being imported?)

It is not "Bitcoin" that funded this, it was the kindness of the people that are using bitcoins... that funded this project. When projects are funded by people using "Fiat" currencies, people do not rant and rave over the currency that was used, so why should it be different for this project.

We should thank the people who organized this and the people who donated "money" to fund it. Thank you to the generous people in the Bitcoin community who opened their wallets to help to pay for the most precious resource those people need. 

If you think about it.... whatever strategy you play does not really have an impact. Your bet result are determined by your client seed and the server seed, so in theory... whatever Slot you are playing, should give you the big win... when that gives you a winning combination.  

The RTP and variance will just give you the intervals and how much will be paid back to the players.. but in the end, your success or failure are locked up in the two seeds.  

This thread just help to highlight what people believe and how their game play are influenced by that.    (Have you seen those people in Brick n mortar casinos rubbing the Slot screens?..... yea we are talking about those believes)

Stake is definitely making loads of money on this $5,000,000 Birthday race, because the wagering cost to the player are significantly higher than usual. The DICE/LIMBO wagering strategies are costing almost $15 per $1000 wagered at times..... where it usually averaged between $9 to $10 per $1000 wagered. 

I am experimenting with other strategies that might give some better ratios, but nothing has shown to be less than the above. Looking at the rankings..... people are wagering millions and I doubt that they will profit from that kind of wagering. 

Nobody can hide from the impact of inflation, no matter if you are rich, middle class or poor. The people suffering the most are the poor and middle class... and you will find with the higher unemployment after the impact of the Covid pandemic... a lot more people moved from the middle class to the poor category. 

I definitely feel the impact of higher inflation and higher fuel prices....and I have not received an increase in my salary for the last 4 years. (I am just happy to have a job) 

They say he worked right to the end, coding for Bitcoin until he died. What a legend.... and also privileged to be one of the first people to work with Satoshi Nakamoto. (not a lot of people had that privilege)

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) took his body, but it could not take his legacy. A lot of people go out of this world, without making any significant impact on the world, but Hal Finney left it with the knowledge that he improved a lot of people's lives. 

Rest in Peace ... Hal Finney!

The thing is... businesses build a brand, for example McDonald's and Wallmart etc... and they even take people to court if they copy their fonts or color in their company name, when they copy it. It is bad for their "Brand" if these copy cat sites misuse their image for their own profits and when they do not give the same level of customer satisfaction as the original company.

When you play at a very popular casino, you get a good experience... because their support is fast or their deposit and withdrawals are fast, but when you get to the copy cat sites... those things might be lacking.... and then you feel cheated. (They look like they are part of a franchise or a group of casinos... so you expect top quality from them)  

I actually asked "Eddie" from Stake.com during his weekly stream about the "friend" that opened a very similar casino to Stake.com and he said "not that I recall" ....but he also said that they are not too worried about sites copying their concept and that it was actually flattering that other people were doing this. (I guess, if you are printing money like them, you would not mind a lot if people copied you)

There are not a lot of big casino software developers out there, so I figure some people just buy a white label casino template from these guys and they just change the color scheme a little to fire up a new casino.  

Nah, my apologies.... it was my mistake, because I am so used to typing my own urls... I typed www.preev.net and it should be https://preev.net/     

I am going to wait until the extra Fiat currencies are added, before I am going to use it more frequently, otherwise I will have to do two calculations to get to the fiat value of the bitcoins I want to calculate. 

The government are not leading from the front, so you will find that the corruption will filter through to the general public too. The “Nigerian prince” scam, also known as the “419” scam has gone viral all over the world, but it started in Nigeria. 

I have worked on contract in Nigeria (Lagos / Ibadan / Benin City) and bribery was part of the challenges that we had to face, when we worked there. This made us part of the problem, because we gave in to the request for money to get things done. (time is money, when you deal with African time) 

I think the two most shocking points was the "urination" on the chairs.... and that Las Vegas is not the gambling capital of the world. I have had some instances where I visited a casino and I got a whiff of urine ....but I thought it was older people with weak bladders having a accident... but normal people doing that..... no no no!

Also, to think that China of all places...has the biggest casinos... was a bit of an eye opener for me. I think the western world just accepted that Las Vegas was the gambling capital of the world, because most movies are creating that perception. 

One strange thing someone told me about September was that it was seen as the "Birthday" month for many people, because a lot of babies are conceived during the December holidays when people are in a holiday mood...and 9 months later in September, the babies are born.

So, people have a lot of Birthday parties to arrange and presents to buy, so they have less money to spend on investments in September... compared to other months of the year. 

It says I am a "Low-Risk Gambler" .... and I agree with it, because I can stop whenever I want to and I do not have a constant urge to gamble. I see gambling as something like entertainment, even if it can be a bit stressful at times.

The Quiz will ask some hard questions ... that some people will lie about... so the outcome might not be the correct result, if people are not honest with the answering of the questions.

It will help if you can keep the site "online" for a couple of hours during the day, because it has been offline or unavailable for days. If it is still under construction... then you should announce that, when people visit the site.

It just looks bad when we discuss this site and when we saw it online.... and now it's been "offline" for a long time. Cmon, you can do better than this. Are you having technical difficulties with the site... or did you stop the project?

During Eddie's Stream yesterday... I asked him .."if one of his friends opened a new casino that are almost identical to Stake.com" and he said "NO" .... so I hope you are saying the truth if you are saying you are one of his friends.

The positive things was..... Eddie said, in principle ... that they are not threatened by competitors using their concept or look... and that they are actually flattered by it. 

I like the P v P concept ... so I will support this site, because they have something different. In some of my previous posts I actually advocated for sites to implement P v P .... because it is an unique concept that will draw in a lot of new business. 

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4541166.3480  (look at my suggestion for Bitcasino.io)

So, how do you suggest... we stop people from making their own choices?

Everyone is free to create their own coins and also to decide what coins they want to buy. We are interested in the success of Bitcoin and crypto currencies...

A lot of us believe the development of Alt coins can be beneficial to Bitcoin, because it is the breeding ground for innovation. Bitcoin can cannibalize any technology it wants to... so if something groundbreaking are developed by someone else... then Bitcoin can use that too.
