Are you worried about Bitcoin mining energy consumption? I've read it's using more electricity than Argentina, it's using more than energy than American Airlines and Bitcoin miners in Iceland use more electricity than their entire national domestic consumption.

Electricity production is far from being the biggest source of greenhouse emissions. Society should worry about things like meat production, construction, chemical industry, metallurgy, transportation and lots of other industries before thinking about Bitcoin mining.

IMO this environmental FUD is not only beneficial for banks and nocoiners, but also for the big polluters who found a nice scapegoat for distracting the public from the real problems.

This is very true. As based on this article, manufacturing consumes the biggest energy -
This is to give an insight on how industries are consuming the energy.

https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/use-of-energy/industry.php



Bitcoin mining may consume good amount of energy but it may not be comparable to manufacturing industries.
Besides, there are other bitcoin mining facilities which are already using renewable energy sources.
This is why, some new crypto miners are deploying the use of solar panels or utilizing hydro power.

We're Back!

What do you mean we're back people are hoping that you the developer Lightlord or his representative will be active here again and the campaign continues again, many loyal promoters are still hoping and wearing the code does this mean that the campaign will continue, you should give more details and not just let people hanging like what Lighlord did when weeks become months on his promise.

Why your main focus is on the campaign only? The most important thing now is about how lightlord and zodiac can be more active again in this forum to respond any question/complaint/suggestion related to the casino. Lets forget about the campaign first and do not blame them if there are still some users wearing the signature. The manager has told them to remove, if they keep it means they do it as they wish.

I am just happy that Zodiac posted here and I believe, it will give hope to other players that are in doubt with bitvest's existence.
We know there are a lot of hesitations from everyone for the past months, and with him posting again on this thread will assure players that they are still very active in business.
Anyway, campaign I believe is not the vital point here. As long as they are resolving all the concerns of their players, I think, that's more important at the moment.
2443  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can I control my gambling addiction ?? on: January 24, 2022, 05:51:08 PM
whatever small amount I earn instead of collecting it I think to double and triple it but again and again I am loosing all my saving. Since last 4-5 months of my work I have saved nothing and again loosing all in gambling.
Please some one seriously guide me on this.

I think that - at least for the start - you need help from a friend or family that will handle the money for you and leave on your hand only very small amounts (he/she will have to know about your problem).
This means that he/she will get your full income and will give you some sort of daily "allowance" from your money for your needs. This way you cannot spend too much on gambling.
Of course, you will not be allowed to use credit cards or lent money.

You have to go out more. You have to find other ways to have fun. And you also have to understand that gambling is not a way to make money, it's a way to spend time (and obviously money).
You may need professional help too (psychologist).

It seems he badly needs help, he needs to ask assistance from a very close friend or family member.
Who knows his battles in gambling and has genuine intention to help his struggles.
Also, the OP should ask himself, why he keeps on coming back to his gambling activities?
Strong will  power and sheer determination are needed here to change his lifestyle.
Easy to say but hard to implement on yourself. But you need to find the root cause why you can't stop.
As suggested above, look for other activities that you think you can be busy of and forget the time.
Only you can start the change. Others are only accessories to your change of lifestyle.

KYC Policy <- Read the terms, everything is explained there.
It is better if you spend your time more to visit the site first to find what you are willing to know, if you cant find it on the website then you can ask it in this thread.
Even he could get details about the KYC requirements if he checked the first few replies of this thread. Previously we have discussed about it here. @TwiceDice Casino, there are several casino registered under the same license of TwiceDice. Are those websites partnered/affiliated with TwiceDice casino? All of them have same UI and design.

I guess KYC is something that really bothers everyone.

Regarding different casinos under the same license, indeed they are managed by the same legal entity.

we are all right to be concerned about KYC and the reason is simple:

How are we going to deliver our documents to anonymous sites that have anonymous owners? it doesn't make sense. but anyway I don't know what governments think when they implemented KYC only on the customers' side instead of being for both parties, that is, customers would only do KYC in casinos where the owners are properly identifiable and for that the casino owners would be forced to post real name and photo in the casino

As the casino is strictly implementing their KYC if you exceed their limits of 2k EUR deposits, then, it is your prerogative if you will continue or not.
The rules are clear and simple. If you don't want to supply your KYC docs, then, better adhere their limits.
This is govern by their gaming license and we can't dictate them to produce their KYC info also.
To avoid possible problem with your accounts while playing on their site, the better thing to do is observe their terms (i.e. their KYC policy).
Otherwise, just play on other casinos which don't require KYC but check their limits also.

As I checked the website of this project, I was wondering if the team can also add their profile links.
It is backed by Technicorum company based in Singapore, so does the project has physical office in Singapore also?
What would be the major edge of this project that will ensure the implementation of their goals?
One aim is to be the payment gateway for influencers, who among the popular influencers today are already tapped by this project?
2446  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Thurman vs Barrios - Feb 5 on: January 23, 2022, 11:51:29 PM
^^ No doubt that Barrios believes in himself that he can beat Thurman, that's why he chooses Keith to be his next fight in his first attempt at 147 lbs. And he should be really preparing hard because he knows that this is a very difficult fight for him.

He wanted to climb up, and Thurman was his key to success. This path is too tight though as he is new to this division while Thurman was a former champ and very fit to this class.

Quote
And upsets can happen in boxing, as we can see recently, Magsayo beat the reigning champion in 126 lbs in Russell via a decision. So we will see if he has what it takes to pull another upset for this year.
He can use that fight as inspiration, If Magsayo able to beat a defending champ he also has that chance, it will be more on how to prepare he is when facing Thurman and what kind of strategy his camp provides him in order to push Thurman to his limits.

If they have good scouting, they can enhance the part of whatever lapses Thurman has.

Preparation is the key here for both boxers. Thurman is the favorite by bookies.
But yes, upset can happen to any boxer. Just look at the recent Russell vs Magsayo match.
So now, we will see how prepared both of them when they are inside the ring.
We don't know what kind of training and strategies are they preparing for this fight.
But I may favor Thurman here to be the winner of his comeback fight.

Paying two bucks for a single transaction in ethereum network is enough to make people feel so depressed with it. Look at this https://etherscan.io/gastracker

I need to pay around 80 USD for swap on uniswap and 30USD for ERC 20 transactions. It shows how bad this blockchain is. You can ask others who have paid these fees to trade on ethereum protocol and they will be saying the same thing like you. If you're feeling your emotion caused by this and that's a part of human.

You are feeling bad by seeing you must pay a lot of fees and i know how it feels today. This blockchain is so over rated blockchain.

This is the reason why new networks are rising their popularity of usage to address the high gas fees of eth network.
If you want to avoid high fees, and you are dealing with eth network, check the gastracker site first and execute your transaction when they are relatively low.
Otherwise, you have no choice but place your order and incur high fees.
And now that there are new networks like SOL or MATIC, maybe check these new networks if you can use them with your transactions.

Bitcoin can be for everyone as long as that person wanted to gain and learn it.
First of all, it depends on the desired or the interest of the person. If he isn't interested in Bitcoin, he won't learn about Bitcoin seriously. Then, how does he gain from Bitcoin? I never think Bitcoin is for everyone, many people even have no interest to have Bitcoin. It is the fact, we cannot expect much from those people who have no desire for Bitcoin.


This is a matter of self preference when it comes to market.
Some do like forex, whereas, others don't like to get involved with crypto.
But definitely most users here in the forum are in for crypto trading.
Now, it is up to you how you will enrich your knowledge when it comes to crypto.
In this forum alone, you will already gained tons of info ranging from compiling wallet, creating token, mining, and so on.
It is on your prerogative what path you will take when you are in this market.

Today I wanted to buy some BFG with some extra cash I have... the price is hanging around $0.018, $0.0178, but I wonder can we expect to go down a bit more? The market is red, and maybe I can get a bit more BFG's for my money if I wait a bit longer... classical investors dilemma! Smiley
I did and you should, and if it goes down again you keep buying as long as your fund allows you, it's hard to know when is the floor price it is indeed a dilemma but the hardest thing is when the price recover while you are sleeping and you lose your chance to buy, an 11% dip is good enough for future profit but still allocate some funds in case of another dip.

If you are unsure with how the market will turn better to split your fund, keep buying from time to time if you saw downfall continuing to happen, it will give you better compensation once the market start to grow again, besides, it's always a good way of investment since BFG have staking and other stuff that you can earn more coins.

It's about trusting your instinct when investing in something that you are believing.

We never know when, but with good research, you will still be in passive side of your investment.

The good thing about accumulating more BFG token is that you are earning passive income while you hold.
The staking coins are on top of the market that you can easily exchange it to your preferred alt.
As the casino is gaining more players, it means, their business is expanding and so the chance of increasing its token's value is high.
Once the market is bullish again, high likely that it will at least go up again to $0.023-0.025, which is already higher than the current price of $0.018.
2450  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Gary Russell vs Mark Magsayo WBC Featherweight Title on: January 23, 2022, 09:26:00 PM
Congrats to the winners, I see that most of the posters here were betting on Magsayo, you enjoy the day.  Smiley

That was so lucky for Magsayo, Rusell got injured so he took advantage of it.
If Rusell wasn't injured, I think Magsayo might lose in this fight because the scorecards result were very close, one judge even score a draw.
Magsayo really did a great job and seriously, Rusell looks no injure at all since he also throw good punches to Magsayo, its just that he is not that good to beat Magsayo. Let’s accept it without any excuses, Magsayo dominate the match and he is now a world champion and still undefeated, luckily I place some bet on the last minute.
He can throw some punches but using only one hand, it was not an excuse but he was clearly injured and it helped Magsayo to win that fight. The scorecard were close although Magsayo won via majority decision, things could be hard for him if Rusell had two hands.

If Russell's camp is not satisfied with this fight, they may ask for a re-match once Russell is fully healed.
But we don't know if Magsayo's camp will easily accept the challenge.
But this chance of Magsayo's winning is very good for his career as he got his first world title.
After this, he may get bigger fights and of course higher paychecks.
And sportsbooks may not underestimate him in his succeeding fights.
2451  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Does Hold is Gold on: January 22, 2022, 11:51:11 PM
I think holding a coin with good fundamentals is a good money choice and of course the team in it is constantly trying to make projects to increase the price of their coin so until now I believe holding is gold,
and I think if what you're holding is a meme coin you can wait for luck.

Holding is worthwhile if you are holding valuable coins.
But if you are holding meme coins or tokens, this is quite risky.
The future of most meme projects are hazy as it depends on the team behind the coin.
But with doge, the existence may not be a question but the price is hard to predict.
As we have observed, the movement is erratic whenever it is tweeted by Elon.
And as a holder, you should not rely on this kind of marketing.
As much as possible, better hold a coin with tangible plans and development.

Sound is greatness! Let's make a deal. If you trust me we can agree. Since you could double money within a month even you don't need to access the funds, let's do it. The deal is, to borrow at least $10K for me from your friends and family. Trade yourself and you will have all the access, so you can trust me. Then make it double in a month since it's guaranteed. Then return borrowed amount and send the profit to me. I promise I will pay your fee. Do you believe me?

This is funny though. But what you just proposed to them is what they are proposing to their potential investors.
If they are serious with their business, they don't need to look from users here.
Better pitch this concept to the people that they really know can give them the funds.
Also, with the situation in crypto market, hard to trust your hard-earned money to strangers.
Let alone, promising a very good return, which, normally ended up bad.
2453  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your thoughts about online casino vs.physical casino on: January 22, 2022, 11:09:59 PM
If not because of online, I do not think I will ever gamble in my life, online makes life easy with gambling. For better privacy, online casino will be better because it is you and yourself and the betting company unlike physical casino that you will have to interact with people, but it is still the same goal, to play casino games and try to win and earn some amount of money. I have never played physical casino before, online casinos makes it easy as you can gamble at your home, but addiction is the problem of online casinos and other online games people gamble with.

If you are an introvert person and don't want a crowded environment, online casino will be your best friend.
And that is right, addiction will be your problem if you don't know how to control yourself as it is easy for you to access your account.
What I like about online casino is you can easily check the provable fairness of your game.
Unlike in physical casinos, I don't know how to check the fairness of your game, because mostly they don't care about that.
Also, you can gamble without anyone knowing it. That is, if you don't disclose to anyone you are gambling. Smiley
Because in physical casino, you might see someone that you know of when you enter the casino.
2454  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: what my friend said in november came true. on: January 22, 2022, 10:05:08 PM
Your friend knows how the market works, you have to think that Bitcoin can pump forever and corrections are necessary so we can go up higher in the coming years. Don’t regret for not selling that’s ok, think for long term and you’ll be fine. Actually you have two best options left, just hold and buy more Bitcoin because its very cheap and beside and it can lower the cost you’ve made on buying Bitcoin before, so I highly suggest to buy more.

What you can do right now is hold to avoid losses. Hopefully, the OP has no immediate needs for his funds.
Because a lot are selling at a loss, if they panic and if they have urgent needs.
But if not, you can hold off and wait for the market to recover. It is not always going down.
Remember, in this market, we have the privilege to do what we believe is right for our funds.

Hi crew. Hope you are all well in new 2022. Good moment to buy btc or eth?

Depends on how you anticipate the next possible move. Hug the dip instead of taking it as the worst trend.

If you asked me personally, yes it's a good moment to buy those coins at their current price.

It's by far the best thing to do instead of asking that question when BTC is now upward trend again.

It really depends on the person, his capability and his goals why he is buying at this moment.
Can you hold a lil bit while waiting for the market to go up again?
But if your funds is for your everyday expenses, I don't think that's a very smart idea.
Because if your funds are tight, you may end selling at a loss also.
So you need to assess your financial capability. Can you hold a lil bit long while waiting for the market to be in the positive direction again?
2456  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🔥 PlataØCrypto.io 🚀 - 1st Play to Earn x Provably Fair Crypto-Casino on: January 21, 2022, 11:42:22 PM
Almost a week, no update from the representative in this thread as well as in the twitter account and discord. Is your official launch a bit delayed due to some issues (maybe)? Your selling point "play to earn" and "guaranteed no KYC" looks interesting so it would be nice if you can reveal when will you launch it or at least give us a regular update. Keep on silence in all places you try to promote/announce your project does not look good at all.
While we're still here waiting but the OP didn't comment after 6 days of inactivity if there is a delay for the problem then it's better to let us know so we wait for sure.
In fact I also always check discord and twitter there are no updates, while we are all waiting for what the OP said to bring big changes after coming back.
I will not subscribe to any emails before launch.

It's just quite disappointing that they have introduced their site yet couldn't provide a continuous update about it. I hope that the one who posted this thread would at least answer all the queries here especially most people are showing their interest. It will only sound shady now that they're inactive even on their social media sites.

Maybe, don't expect anything from them for now.
Because with many casinos that are already established, it is not our loss if they will not push thru this project.
They are lucky that there are some users who expressed their interest to check this out.
However, at the moment, they have nothing to offer yet. So let's see how this site will progress...
2457  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Gary Russell vs Mark Magsayo WBC Featherweight Title on: January 21, 2022, 10:43:58 PM
Certainly, why would we compare Magsayo to Loma? Magsayo is nowhere near Loma's experience, the man still have a lot to work and prove to be one of those worthy boxer like Loma. Let's save that discussion later, for now let's see how would this fight end as both boxers are tough and willing to do their best to defend its title, but I have no doubts on Magsayo here as I know that he can defeat Russell eventually.
That's right, rather than busy comparing things that can't even be compared right now it's better to focus on what will happen in this battle.
I quite agree to say that Magsayo will stand victorious in this match but of course we can't take Russell for granted.
There are several things that Russell can do, one of which is the power he has.
but even so, magsayo's endurance is quite good and indeed the chance of winning for magsayo is very large.
I guess the power belongs to Magsayo as he is a knock-out puncher, however, his skills in boxing is not yet seasoned, he still needs to train harder so he can easily make an adjustment in the ring. This is a 12 rounds fight, adjustment is necessary and he should not only look for a KO all the time.

Will be watching this fight. And yes, Magsayo should not only look out for possible KO.
But he needs to work even at the start of the match. Because who knows, that KO will not come into play as Russell is also a good boxer?
The odds from sportsbooks are highly favoring Russell to win. Are bookies right on this one or will be another upset inside the ring?
For sure a lot of Filipinos here are rooting for Magsayo, as you can see it clearly from the results of poll here.  Grin

I think it too cause Op did not open after January 13 2022 I think their website is under processing and development and this is a teaser thread so that gamblers get thrill to the next update or what is this site. But the OP must buy a copper membership in order to promote their casino/website professionally to us.
Or maybe you are right that if he came back he will use another account.
It is much better if they launched the site when it's done so that we can explore and try out the site and see if there's any bugs/issues that they can fix. Even some casinos that newly launched have issues or bugs and needed to fix after people tried it out. Gamblers are not just gamblers, they want to gamble on a site that doesn't have bugs/issues but some do want to exploit bugs/issues to their benefits to win. I would also want a gambling site that doesn't have issues.

If they are serious in promoting their casino, the OP should come back here and read what users are saying.
But so far, he has not posted after creating this thread. So for those who want to try, maybe use very small amount of funds.
Even if it is stated on their site that they have gaming license, we don't know yet if they can easily be approached at.
As a new casino, they should be active here and show their visibility to the players.
2459  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Gary Russell vs Mark Magsayo WBC Featherweight Title on: January 20, 2022, 11:52:22 PM
Hopefully the match will push through if this rumor is true,

What do you mean by "hopefully the match will push through"?

Do you see any news or articles that it will be canceled?

Can you share the rumor links?

and yes there’s a higher chance now for Magsayo to upset Russell on the early round and the odds are backing it up. Magsayo should remain focus though and not to be complacent, Russell will still throw punches for sure.

I think that was the other way.

Magsayo's odds of winning per round is high meaning the sports bookies think that it will happen by a low chance. The same goes for Moneyline odds.

No news regarding the cancellation of this fight. So it is just a rumor.
Couple of days and we will see this fight. As others have posted, the odds are very high if you place bet on Magsayo for being a winner in rounds 1-3 or even 4-6.
Can he pull upset at early rounds here? This is very interesting to watch.
Based from the odds, sportsbooks are favoring Russell to win by decision because the odds are low at this money line.

Hi guys, just an update (since this thread seems to be outdated)

-

But what about project development updates?
The dev team should really update their thread as it was more than couple of years ago that they posted here.
So more than likely, a lot of people are not noticing their project because there's no update from them.
But they are pretty much alive outside of this thread. Maybe, post short updates on what they are doing right now.
