I'm sure you would be able to find someone either through LocalBitcoins or Paxful.
There are a lot of sellers there that will accept debit card and usually they do not require you to get verified.

There are also sellers from Pakistan that will do exchanges in person if that's an option?

It's definitely a very interesting idea and I think your reasoning is correct to not turn your CLASH tokens into another tradable crypto currency.
Do you already have an idea on what the UI would look like? I'd be interested in knowing how you're going to turn this into a somewhat immersive experience for players.
2483  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Wallet for altcoins on: December 27, 2017, 02:56:41 PM
I would strongly advise you to not keep any coins in an online wallet, despite the easy of use.
It's not that hard to get a USB drive and install a standalone version on it for every coin you want to hold.

It has happened before that online wallets disappear with users' funds, so be careful.

Multi-coin desktop or mobile wallets like Coinomi or Exodus are also a reasonably safe option, at least safer than using an online wallet.

This looks pretty great as it stands, but it would be cool if you're planning to add more features in the future.
Are there any plans to add different views for your investments, like graphs for example?

An android widget or app is definitely a must as well for me.
2485  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to identify Support and Resistance? on: December 27, 2017, 01:54:44 PM
Investopedia has some really good tutorials for these basic trading concepts, though they're really intended for stock traders, it more or less stays the same with crypto trading.
Have a look at this page, it also has a pretty good video on it for better understanding of the concepts explained.

https://www.investopedia.com/articles/technical/061801.asp - Support And Resistance Basics by Casey Murphy

Investopedia is your go-to resource for learning about trading in my opinion.
2486  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: How to make your project successful? on: December 27, 2017, 01:15:47 PM
It depends on what you define as 'successful'... If your only goal is to get as much funding as possible, then it's easy, just spend a lot of money on promoting your ICO on different advertisement channels and you're done.

If you want your actual project to be a success, you need to invest more into the development of your idea. If you have a great idea and a working prototype, the rest will follow.
This is a lot more important than just getting enough funding through an ICO.
2487  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where do I buy Bitcoins? on: December 27, 2017, 12:54:24 PM
I would personally avoid Coinbase like the plague. They're known to close down users' accounts and will pass on everything to the IRS.
You gan find a seller on LocalBitcoins or Paxful, just pick someone who has a good reputation.

Depending on the payment method you use, you'll pay less fees than on Coinbase as well.

Whenever decentralized exchanges get more popular, I'll be using that.
2488  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think dicing can take over the real money market like it did with Bitcoin on: December 27, 2017, 12:46:13 PM
And I don't think it will because if you go to land based casino, they are already dice games and you can bet as well. The problem is most of the gamblers there, prefer other games, and it's not gaining a followers for land based gamblers. I myself have bet a few on dice games but Its kinda bored as compare on online dice. Although I observed that there are some elderly persons who prefer land based dice though, maybe they are old school or just simply want the simplicity of the game instead of playing slots or any other games.

Why not? I mean if you look at the current amount of money being wagered at dice websites, I think they are already giving traditional casinos a run for their money.
Dice games provide the best odds of all games, so I think they're only going to get more popular.

Some people might actually enjoy the simplicity and fast pace of them, they have a lot of benefits over other games if you look at it in detail.
2489  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What blockchain events do you visit? on: December 27, 2017, 12:22:32 PM
I'm planning on going to CoinfestUK in April 2018, Manchester isn't too far from where I live, so travel time will be minimal.
If there are any conferences in The Netherlands, I would go as well, but I don't think there are any on the schedule currently.

I do meet up with some people on a monthly basis to talk about crypto in general, but I woudn't call that an event, more like a small meetup and it isn't public.

Congratulations to s0lidus on winning that huge BTC lottery.

A suggestion: Add a "Your tickets in the last round" tab to the lottery page as many players don't know to check the ticket numbers before the draw. This will make it much easier to verify the fairness at randompicker.com after the draw happens and make life a little easier for the chat room moderators to deal the questions.

Haha, he actually won it? I do feel bad for Dellwin435, the prize wouldn't be that big if it weren't for him.
I'm rooting for him to win the next one at least! That one is also getting pretty big.
2491  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Segwit2x Tomorrow - will this reduce Bitcoin fees or will have no impact? on: December 27, 2017, 10:35:48 AM
Since it's a hardfork, it doesn't have any impact on Bitcoin itself and I doubt it will have much impact in general.
Segwit2x's founder, Jaap Terlouw, has said something interesting however, they will be redistributing part of Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoins to supporters.

Does anyone know how this would work?

Quote
The founder also promised that in addition to the common practice of crediting BTC holders with equivalent balances of the new coin (B2X), they would also receive “a proportional number of Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoins as a reward for their commitment to progress.”
2492  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Official wallet for Qtum/Ripple on: December 26, 2017, 05:34:52 PM
There doesn't seem to be an official wallet for Ripple I'm afraid, but there are options if you would like a desktop wallet.
I think Rippex would be your best option if you're not looking for a hardware wallet. I definitely wouldn't recommend an online wallet either.

Check out: https://rippex.net/carteira-ripple.php#/

This wallet is also fully open-source btw.
2493  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Where to find Developers? on: December 26, 2017, 04:19:31 PM
Yeah going to a freelancer platform would really be you best bet in finding someone suited for the job.
You'll probably be able to find someone with experience on Upwork or Guru for example or perhaps even Fiverr for smaller jobs like logo design or writing (if needed).

It also couldn't hurt to post something here in the forum in the 'Services' section, but make sure you don't get scammed and find a reputable member.

If you're looking to start an ICO or coin, there are certain companies that offer specific services for that too.
2494  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin's price is getting low on: December 26, 2017, 03:33:08 PM
bitcoin is a currency i think that is for season of rise and falls because it would be christmas so many holders are want to sell because they are spending it on christmas to buy some staff or give some money on christmas or donation to a charity or else spending it on new year so they have money when the new year comes
Yes there is instances where in bitcoin can really get low? why? due to the the concept and law of demand and supply as simple as that, since bitcoin has a low supply of course the tendency is that bitcoin will really have high price once the bitcoin demand will increase more than or higher than the number of supply.

These sudden changes in price have little to do with supply and demand, they're more like a symptom of the high amounts of speculation going on in the crypto markets today.
It's not that there are currently a lot more or a lot less coins available, it's just that mainstream investors have jumped on the crypto bandwagon.

There are a few whales around that are profiting big time now.
2495  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I won $123 for few minutes on: December 26, 2017, 02:51:28 PM
Hi to all,

I'm CryptoProphet Smiley

I won $123 for few minutes..

I made analyse and see that 8 most often is first digit of provably fair hash..
for 4.95x game is really hot!
I checked results..
7 bets have first digit 8 of 25 all bets.

Strategy for profit:
25 bets 0.001btc = 0.025btc
7 wins = 0.001*4.95 * 7 = 0.03465
Profit = 0.03465-0.025 = 0.00965 btc

Yesterday I tried this and won good money!

My winnings
https://blockchain.info/tx/f24f6fbe482e7a81918663256bc26e6f56fd82b654abb82e05b53f0ac05dc6d6

https://blockchain.info/tx/06b392ff27ae4cc312ce26cb70c5adf173f18baf0cb43cb0542209796e499775

I wouldn't really call that an analysis... What does it matter if 8 is the first digit of the provably fair hash?
Seems like you're seeing patterns that aren't really there and you should be careful about looking too much into these things.

In the end you were just very lucky and I doubt you could repeat this and end up with the same results every time.

You also didn't share on which dice site you were playing btw.
2496  Economy / Gambling / Re: ★Crypto-Games.net ★ 10 coins ★ 7 games ★ Since 2014 ★ Largest crowdfunded casino on: December 26, 2017, 01:42:01 PM
Is it possible to win more than one prize in the lottery? Say someone has near 100% of the lottery tickets.

Yes, just read the last page. As you can see, S0lidus won the first and second prize

What prevents someone from buying a very large percentage of the tickets, like 95%, knowing that there’s a positive EV thanks to the 1% the casino adds? I guess just the possibility that someone comes later and buys say 10 times as many tickets and “steals” her money (the EV wouldn’t change, but it would make winning more unlikely). Or is there any maximum amount of tickets you can buy?
There's a limit of 10000 tickets per player. Even with EV+, player will still have the possibility to lose all if another player wins with less tickets (unless he would be the only player in the lottery, which never happened Smiley )

So is it fine for you if someone buys 10000 tickets of every lottery you run?
Sure, why not. Sooner or later someone with tiny win chance will win that round.

Don't forget that this already happened before, not with someone buying 10k tickets of course, but I remember that the guy who had 500 tickets from the wagering contest didn't win that lottery.
Also, people with just a few tickets I've also seen get first prize sometimes, rainbot even won once with just 1 ticket Tongue 
2497  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Crypto media you trust on: December 26, 2017, 12:58:14 PM
I read quite a few crypto related blogs and news websites, but I don't know if I really trust any of them at face value to be honest.
Whenever I see a new article, I always try to find the information at the source, if it's listed or do some basic research myself before believing any of it.

Most news websites have different writers on their team, each with their own views, so I've seen many different sets of opinions creep up on the same website.

The Merkle and Cointelegraph are pretty good if you just want to follow the latest news.
2498  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Batch Transactions on: December 26, 2017, 12:26:21 PM
It's possible to do batch transactions with Electrum, it's a desktop wallet.
In Electrum, it's not enabled by default, you have to go to 'Tools' >> 'Pay to many' and you'll have to option to add multiple addresses or load them from a CSV file.

I have no idea which mobile wallets support this, if there are any.

Thanks, payment received!

Also, I can take 2 slots if you want Tongue Two times base pay + 1x bonus (pers. text + avatar) per week for 50 quality posts p/w, I'm serious, but I guess it might be a bit unethical towards other participants.
Probably not an option, right?  Grin
Sorry, not an option  Grin

Haha, can't blame me for trying Wink Kinda glad as well, 50 posts per week would be a bit too much probably.
