2441  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Binance seems to be HACKED once again. KYC documents leaked on: August 07, 2019, 04:13:32 PM
The KYC documents of individuals circulating and being bought and sold is a serious issue whether it was originated from binance or not.
There are plenty of such posts today about binance hack while the Bianance has officially stated they haven't been hacked at all.
We'd need more proofs and confirmation before deciding the origination of the IDs leak.

There's some new sites in the space that run on smart contracts on ETH, such as no loss lotteries where peoples DAI (a decentralized stablecoin pegged to 1 USD) is pooled together and then lent out on compound finance.

At the end of the pool (usually 15 days) The interest that has been generated by the pool is paid out to one lucky winner. Your chance of winning increases as you buy more tickets to the pool.

Here's the link to the project in question, but I do want to know if this is something that people are interested in --> https://www.pooltogether.us/

It's a good idea. But the actual amount won by the lucky player would be less with a hold of large amount of time. The lottrey would need a significant amount of bought tickets and a significant time to disperse any good amount to the winner.
Much of the amount are lost in transaction and putting into compound finance and withdrawing.

Hi, guys! I'm thinking about moving to DEX and wanna know your opinion on trustful DEXes.

So far, I've only used Etherdelta and Forkdelta. And I had no problems. I don't think the Binance DEX is very decentralized. You have to buy BNB and it is very difficult to stay decentralized while doing so.

Etherdelta is my most used exchange in the past. Though now I've heavily limited myself to a selected number of coins and CEX.
Binance DEX is a decentralized exchange, even for any other DEX, you need to have one base currency or other. Binance on the other hand provides the option to pay the fees in transacting coin for many popular currencies.

Crypto helps us to create a free world economy. The way it should have been. The complex monetarial system has many flaws and is an instrument to keep poor poorer and rich richer. Fiat currency is a tool of oppression and citizens by their governments. When were are free enough in our financial activity, our thoughts and speech, blockchain would help topple any oppressive government and install a citizen friendly regime.
2445  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 06, 2019, 04:58:43 PM
Bayern Munich is reportedly interested in Gareth Bale. Real Madrid star whose fate is uncertain was used as an alternative if Leroy Sane failed to obtain.
Bayern reportedly have prepared a bid for 73 million euros. But Manchester City declined the offer because it was considered too low. The Citizen put the former Schalke 04 player at 137 million euros. Both parties have not met their common ground until now.

Bayern Munich would be a safe a fruitful settlement for Bale. He'd be on a winning team and still be in Europe. Bayern would also benefit from Bale being on the team as they have no competition in domestic league while can't give a large competition in the European league. Though they were  knocked out by the winning team in the last three UEFA Champions League, twice by Real itself.

58 runs in the first 10 overs with 3 wickets down. There's no hope for West Indies, even though Pollard is still batting, they'd not be able to achieve any more than 150 at most. Which would be an easy target for India while chasing. Losing the toss was the first loss for the west Indies.
2447  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does card counting really work in Blackjack? on: August 06, 2019, 04:26:08 PM
It works somehow most especially if you are very keen into every details and if have a very good mind that can focus and not forget things because for me, card counting is very difficult because you have to remember your counting as well as the cards, I even tried it one time but got lost instead because instead of having focus I got distracted when counting thus, I can say it is not for me.
Counting cards will be an advantage for those gamblers who really keen in succession to take some edge, it's very tough but there's always possibilities even in  small chances you'll be able to work it out, focusing and allowing yourself to manage memorizing those numbers of decks and keep trying to achieved your desires advantages after learning the right system to use.
I think the benefit aside, this card counting is very difficult and definitely not meant for everyone. Slow thinkers and those who find it difficult to focus can never do this and we can’t blame them. Me for instance, I would say that I should be counted out of this immediately because I am poor with numbers, bad at memorizing and I hate whatever that brings me tension, so definitely, I do not belong to the category of card  counters.

I had a friend who was a PRO with this and of a truth, I would say that it was nice and he basically was in control of his game, but I knew he was super intelligent. He was my classmate in college and the entire class knew him as a genius, I don’t really know what went wrong that made him not to continue with the education line but he went focused on gambling and was really doing excellently well.

Card counting is not legal in gambling. You can be kicked out and denied your reward for counting the cards. Many people have won as well as been kicked out for wining by counting the cards.
Card counting itself is not an easy task, you'd need a high level of attention and a super memory.
There's nothing as card counting in online gambling as the shuffle are totally random.

Hello! What is an average fee you pay to crypto exchanger? I use changelly and pay just 0.25% and I think this is pretty weird. How do they make money? Sometimes I think that they sell users data and I'm thinking to pick another exchanger.

A word of caution for Changelly as its been linked to fraudulent wallet called freewallet and mining service minergate.
There's no any rules and regulations for an exchange what they can do or not with the data provided by you. If there's a fradulent exchange, they'll gladly sell your personal info for cheap price.
Exchange like Shapeshift and Changelly provides on the spot trading where they take a minimal fees as they have no large expenditures. And the last time I did an exchange from Changelly, they haven't asked for any personal info, don't know about the situation as of now.
2449  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think the idea of sovereign cryptocurrency is a good one? on: August 06, 2019, 01:41:04 AM
Government backed crypto and fiat turned into crypto would be a general trend in the next decade. Soon, every financial sectors including all currency would be on blockchain. Government needs to do it as if they don't, the ease of using crypto would make everyone to dump fiat and national financial bills.
So, in one way or another, crypto is coming from the government itself.
2450  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is There A point To still Hold Litecoin As An Investment? on: August 06, 2019, 01:18:40 AM
This is Litecoin's repo:

https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin

it didn't undergo any improvements in over a year (all recent commits, that were over half a year ago, are all meta data). From what I undretand, its founder abandoned it.
There was a price hike due to the recent halving, but for the price to remain high or to increase, there needs to be a future to justify the mining and demand.
This doesn't seem to be the case, as the project is abandoned and stagnating.

So I'm asking, is there still a reason to be excited about or hold Litecoin?


Being logical, Litecoin is a project left behind by it's developer. It has no future as there is no leadership to give it a direction.
But considering speculation, litecoin is the best performing coin for investors in 2018 and 2019. It could still be a good investment for the rest of 2019.
2451  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling habits that will cost you on: August 06, 2019, 01:02:42 AM
Don't gamble with the motivation of getting back what you lost. People often look at what they lost than what they are left with and bets recklessly ending losing up their total bankroll. Provide a budget for your gamble. Don't gamble the money you have set aside for different things. And when you win say a 100% profit, withdraw the profit as you have already doubled your base amount and start playing with the base again, being too greedy would make you lose all.
2452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best solution to handle gambling addition, in a country. on: August 05, 2019, 06:13:33 PM
Considering the gambling addiction ratio in a country is increasing rapidly, what are the best possible solutions the citizens or government of that nation can implement to deal with the problem. Before you jump right into suggesting, the government should ban/tag gambling related activities as illegal in the country, you should understand that running away from a problem don't actually solve that problem. Beside proposing a ban on gambling only encourages the citizens of that nation to gamble illegally.

In regards to online gambling, there's not much the government can do to restrict it's citizens from gambling. They can blanket ban the gambling sites but VPN would easily enable users to visit the site they like. For real world casino, a government can easily implement rules to restrict the amount and time it's citizen utilizes to gamble as users are made to carry their IDs in almost all of casinos.
2453  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Nano Historical Data Question Coinmarketcap on: August 05, 2019, 06:08:10 PM
I recalled nano pumped up to 37 dollars at one point.  On coinmarketcap, it was less than 1 cent when it came out.  After a few days, it went to 10 cents or so.


What i want to know is... when was nano available to buy?  Was it on the first date that is shown on coinmarketcap?


Is there a way to know what exchange offered nano which i know was called raiblocks back then when it first started out?  Did binance offered nano at the beginning?  Or only after a certain time and if so, anyone know when this occurred so i could look at the price it was available at?


I ask this because if someone say bought 100000 nano at 0.01 each which is 1000 usd.  And they held it to the point to where it pumped to over 30 dollars... then sold it all... well they would have made over 300k usd profit...


Did ton of nano holders just sold most or everything when it pumped that high?

Raiblocks was distributed using a faucet and many people were involved in claiming it. Raiblocks for a long period of time was exclusively available on it's own exchange. But the price was ever decreasing and the coin was near forgotten when they rejuvenated with new name and aggressive listing on exchanges. Binance was not the first one but that listing provided them a good boost.
2454  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Longest Winning Streak in a Dice Game on: August 05, 2019, 05:56:56 PM
I haven't actually counted every of them but as I remember, the longest winning streak for me was of 10 bets with the odds of 2.5
That was in an old site called bubbledice, I don't think it exist at the moment but it was a game integrated with money pot where you could adjust your odds anywhere, similar to current windice but more flexibility.
2455  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: binance dex different from other dex exchanges? on: August 05, 2019, 05:50:33 PM
why are developers aiming for binance dex when liquidity is still the biggest problem of dex exchanges? Apart from the big name 'binance' what did the dex have to offer that's different  from other dex exchanges?I don't see any difference,do you?

Binance Dex having an amazing UI, has some features that stands it out from the rest.
Firstly, they have the cheapest fees among DEX, i.e. when you pay in BNB.
And even if you don't have BNB, you can pay the fees in almost any currency. While most of the DEX are either specific to Ethereum network or other similar platforms.
2456  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum (ETH): what's the Next Four years going to look like on: August 05, 2019, 05:32:10 PM
Ethereum ETH celebrated its 4 years some days ago, no one believed the project would have achieved what it has achieved within these four year, as at Oct 2015, the coin all time low was $0.420897 USD and the All Time High $1,432.88 USD (Jan 13, 2018), now the current market price is $235.03 USD. what do you think the next four years would look like? i see the coin going stronger and bigger, what do you think?

In my opinion, Ethereum is largely devalued at the current time in comparison to other altcoins. We can call it a sleeping giant.
Ethereum is working on implementation of Ethereum 2. In next two years, they would bring POS based verification of transaction and a rise in scalability which would help make Ethereum much more accessible and hence have a boost in price.
2457  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which is better Government run Lottery or private run Lottery on: August 05, 2019, 05:25:15 PM
With the introduction of blockchain, a lottery run by smart contract is much more better than done by humans with manual drawings.
Government involvement in lottery may bring some credibility for the results but for most of the countries I know, government does not operate such scheme. And where it does, the bureaucracy has a bad track record that makes the lottery itself questionable.
2458  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Choose Lottery Instead Of Anything Else? on: August 04, 2019, 12:28:44 PM
So I've been wondering a lot time now why some people choose to play lottery which is made in such a way that it's statistically impossible to win and not any other game that gives about 49% chance to win? In online crypto-gambling there are a lot of such services.

Personally I'd advice against gambling overall (ye I know I wear a gambling signature at the moment!) but if someone insists on playing something without thinking or using skills, then why not buy a random stock? That'd give them 50% chance to win and with some research they could increase this chance.


I found this nice video a day ago, it tells the truth about lotteries in a funny way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PSWTDhHGt4

A very good point is made at 2:55 about the probabilities
Also at 4:07 they lottery in comparison with gambling and stock market in a funny way... "we take away all the skill of blackjack or poker just to make sure we have the best chance of getting your money"! Cheesy

The good thing about lottery is the participants are sure that 99%+ of the total collected amount would go to users. They are not playing against the house and the house just collects a commission from the winners.
I don't think there are any online gamblers that just sticks to lottery and nothing else. Though lottery is fun, it has a lot of passive time and has no thrill between buying of tickets and the draw.
2459  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: August 04, 2019, 12:25:15 PM
The bowlers bowled brilliantly, but the batsmen played some Cricket. I still feel we could witness a whitewash here. The batsmen need to step up their game.
I don't think WI will be whitewashed. They will at least win 1 t20 match. Their batsman are not consistent. They can wash a team anytime.
In ODI, they will not win a single match I think.

A T20 match could be easily influenced by a single player and though west indies lacks a good team, it has some extraordinary players specially with the bat. This way, they may single handedly turn the game into their favor. But with the current form, it would be really difficult for them to beat the indian team.
2460  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: How to do Double spend on: August 03, 2019, 04:06:41 AM
Almost all people and most of the sites requires you to have a number of confirmations before making your deal done.
Even the sites that advertise zero confirmation deposit require you confirmations before withdrawing.

The easiest way to double spend is to load your private key in multiple wallet and send to different address before any of them confirms.
