2621  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you feel selling your BTC against your plans? on: March 07, 2023, 12:42:01 PM
Most of us will say we are disappointed or hurt because we sell it, but it depends on the perspective of the person. For me, I invest in bitcoin so that, in rainy days or emergencies, I can use it. That is really the main purpose of holding bitcoin. Though if I were in your situation, it would be best if you borrowed money from relatives or someone else and returned it, as you were still expecting the money, rather than selling bitcoin. It happened to me a lot of times. I would just borrow, but when it came to needing huge amounts, that was the time I sold, no matter what the price was.
For sure your points are correct. Investment sometimes serves that purpose for which you have mentioned here. Most times you know people do not want to touch their investment for certain reasons best to them and also some people do not like going for loan or borrowing option do they do all they can by going for their investment that is why most people invest big time so they could fall back to it when ever the need arises. Most of the replies I went through really gets me wondering if really people do under the situation of things as to the Topic I made here. It is not all about having a physical investment or a digital investment. I think they really do not get the point clear somehow but everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion.

I was reading this story at the same time laughing. Ignorance indeed is a cancerous disease. If OP had not taken his time to do research he would have been still be following his friend sheepishly while his friend was comfortably stealing his investment at his convenience. This made me remember my early team age when I first got to hear about visa atm card. My friend introduced me to it then and I had no knowledge how it works he told me I would pay some money to get it then as I was not an account holder that he would hold the card for me. Me not knowing how the system works agreed to it and gave him some money to get the card for me and he held the card with him and I was giving him money to save in the card for me not knowing that he was using it as a conduit to scam me. It got to a point when I started asking him questions about my money and the card. It became obvious that I decided to find out more about the card and to my greatest surprise only account holders can have such card which he has been eating my money so when I met with him I asked him for the card and he did not hesitate to give me when I looked at the card based on what I was told, the card was not having any name inscribed on it so I asked him about the account related to the account there he knew I had found out about it and I now know what he was doing. After that day I did not see him again till today. That was a very a costly mistake I made back then but I was relieved after I discovered that and it are me to always ask questions and sis my research before going further with anything.
2623  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / How do you feel selling your BTC against your plans? on: March 07, 2023, 01:39:26 AM
A thought came over me while spending my BTC. Although I was wondering if members have had that experience and  too  how others would feel about it hence this topic. Now here was what happened. I had an emergency which requires an urgent attention and it involves funds. I had no option than  to get the funds immediately as the payment I was expecting has no yet been credited to my account I had no option at that moment than to fall back to my bitcoin and what touched me most was that the market was red and It was obvious I had to sell to sort out the urgency at hand. While doing that, there was this feelings I had then as a result of the red market as at the time I was doing the transaction . I was just having that thought over me then and wishing the market could just boom immediately so I could only release just a small fraction of my BTC to sort out things then and another was that I could just receive my much awaited alert so I could stop the BTC transaction immediately. You know that feelings that comes when you want to do something you really do not have plans doing immediately maybe you have plans for it in the future and all of a suden an emergency comes up which would force you to do the needful. I had that feelings and it was real and really devastating at that very moment.
If you have had such experience, how was it like?
2624  Economy / Gambling / Re: they are scamming us? on: March 06, 2023, 07:50:23 PM
The point here is that they don't need to scam us to make money - far from it. I'm not saying that in some cases a casino might try to do it, but all a casino needs to do is to get customers and then be careful with their bankroll management so that no whale will make them go bankrupt. That's all it takes for them to make a lot of money. RTP is what makes them money and for that, they don't need to scam anyone.
You made a point here and that is why some reputable casinos remain in business even when others are failing, and on a contrary opinion to ops that point to a one-sided fact and compressing it to our face to believe that casinos are outright scams.
-Casinos are out to make profits and they have systems that they run their platform with but the contract with the player is spelt out in the T&C of the casino which a player is mandated to read and agree to before playing on the casinos.
For sure casinos are definitely out to make more money but I think they are sometimes compelled to do otherwise when it seems that they are running short of funds which they would want to do at all cost to keep in track and forging ahead in the industry forgetting that karma would definitely bounce back at them. Lastly, in respect to the terms and conditions as stated by you, there is no doubt about that. Before a member get registered on board any casino, they must first sign up for their terms and conditions before playing any games on that casino which means they are agreeing to what ever the outcome of the terms and conditions they have signed up for may be, they are all up for it so therefore they would not go against or contrary to what they have signed for. I myself have come to realize that this is the aspect of registration where by casinos hold down members from taking some actions against them because of there are no terms and conditions for signing, I think some casinos would not see the light of the day.

license, reputation and fast response, sometimes when these 3 points are already owned by the casino of course people are sure they will feel comfortable playing gambling on this site, usually what casinos don't get is a fast response, most of the time the response in solving problems is always slow that's what makes gamblers feel uncomfortable, that's what must be improved and paid attention to adding service support so that they can solve every gambler's problem quickly. at least the team is actively doing updates too in this thread  Wink

Not most because I play on many casino and they all have quick live support to answer my questions. I think you are talking about serious issue like account ban/freeze that typically consumed a lot of time for waiting since the team do a thorough investigation on the case since it’s a sensitive concern. No casino can offer a quick resolution on handling a violating of ToS issue especially if the user is just requesting for an appeal to casino action.
Yes good sites always provide fast response and service in their live support. Which I also found on many sites I used.  Gamblers are more attracted to sites that provide quick support and resolve any issues quickly. Because everyone wants to have security in his account and security of his deposit. So gamblers are more motivated to use the site they feel is the most secure. A good sign of quick response to solve a problem.
A gambler must consider a few things when choosing a good casino platform. The most important of which is customer service. Casino platforms who are ready to provide good customer service easily attract the attention of gamblers. It is normal to have errors in casino gambling, but how quickly the errors can be solved that is the matter. Casinos that provide good service will be able to gain their good reputation quickly.
A good customer service is a standard for a good casino. A good casino won't make you feel unsafe or alone in a casino. There are times that there will be short delays in customer service responses but making you worry about it will give you a bad image or a bad feeling about the casino reputation. I personally don't use casino support that much but when I use it, I don't really have any problem using it on the casino that I'm fond of using. Starting casino should invest on a good customer service since it's the way of directly connecting gamblers to the casino. I hope casino knows how much is the importance of customer service is given that we are talking about the importance of it. 
You are absolutely correct, but it is rather unfortunate that majority of casinos do not know how important having a good customer service is, or maybe most know but just don't find it necessary to put money in building a good customer service that would promptly respond to customers enquires, suggestions and difficulties.
Like you, I rarely have issues that would require me to contact a customer care, but then, when I do, I really don't like to be kept waiting for days, maybe a few hours is very understandable and manageable, but I usually quit using any casino that takes days to respond to customer's query.
Casinos forget that there must be a medium through which they communicate with their various investors and potential clients who are interested in their project which is the  customer care service. The customer care service stands as the first marketer of casinos because through them people would get to know more about the casinos which they do not understand. The casinos entertain inquiries, complaints and lots more from the public and this also plays a very big goal because the way and manner they are responded to determines if they would come back to get registered or still remain with the casino.  As you may know, customer care is very much important to gamblers and bettors as the gamblers and bettors are important to the casinos.
2626  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The flop on: March 06, 2023, 05:05:11 PM
No one's talking about the fallen hero?
Especially that of 5th March, which has left so many utterly surprised, how man u which was known for its so many wins could lose to Liverpool with such striking goals is something to recheck.
Manchester United is not a fallen hero because the club is not that it is relegating, it is still one of the clubs that would likely make it to next season's champion league. But what happened yesterday was a very big surprise for everyone, 7 goals to nothing was not expected.

It was a big surprise and shock to the fan base across all sports for Liverpool to have trashed ManU Saturday. Although ManU is still active and in good shape but was humiliated as they underestimated the capacity of Liverpool. Still in the football spirit, it is a game of fun and there is or must be a winner in every game played. I believe ManU learnt a big lesson from what has happened to them on Saturday and for those who bet in favour of Liverpool I believe Liverpool made them xtimes richer now. Congratulations to you all for your big wins.
2627  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many crypto wallets do you own? on: March 05, 2023, 09:33:32 PM
Going by your topic and as sensitive as it is, one would have the thought of owning more than one wallet for his or her own safety if in the case of possible hack, funds a d assets are split amongst various wallets so that one does not entirely looses all their hard earned funds and assets. These wallets possibly might be on different chains as the case may be. What one would need to do is converting your funds From the initial payment be it in bitcoin , ether etc to the chain coin then the next meeting be is sending your coin to their various wallets for storage. Any storage wallet of your choice is ok as long as you are in possession of your private keys and passphrase then you are safe storing your assets in that wallet. Mind you you alone should have assess to your keys for security purpose.

I just hope that from next week Monday cash will begin to circulate as normal because I believe that the banks will now have cash to pay since the old Maria is still a legal tender,so no panic. Let's not be surprise to see that it is this same old notes that banks will use to pay their customers by next week because I guess,we will be using more of the old notes than the new notes because it will be more in circulation than the new note. So many people still have this old notes in their possessions which they will start spending it. Nigeria politicians don use Nigerians head roll dice wey lead to the lost of lives and property, how them won come take bring back those dead people wey die on top this problem.

What annoys me most is the untold hardship these politicians have caused Nigerians. So they want to tell us they were not knowledgeable enough to know the situation they want to put Nigerians into before bringing such policy. After causing Nigerians stress and hardship as a result of naira swap people under pressure to change their old naira with to new naira note with high fee charges for paying  and withdrawal. Making things very expensive and costly just within this short period. People were in a hurry at the dieing minute to swap their old note for a much higher fee either through buying of products time two it's price as a condition for accepting it or you use the new note which the masses have no option than going for it as that is their last resort making them to loose money and after all these stress they are talking of revisiting the policy as a result of court order. Men this bunch of leaders are very annoying. People lot their lives, People lost money, people were under pressure during these past period all because of meeting up with the naira swap deadline and after all that Mr. President could come out to make such speech. It is now finally clear the sole purpose for which the naira swap was introduced.

Currently looking for web development work. I'm a full stack engineer with 2 years of experience around web development, whether that be front end or back end.

Recently I have mostly done contract work on shopify and wix from scratch

Let me know if you need anything done, the specifications and we can go from there Grin

This is a good one mate. It is ice you are marketing your skills here but I would suggest you edit Thur thread adding your portfolio as stated below bey you so one can easily see them at one upon first glance  rather than scrolling down to check for it as some investors or potential clients do not have that time of scrolling down to start looking for your portfolio and past works. Do well to put them here and also if possible tell your past clients if they are registered here to also vouch for you as they have tested your services as you claimed you have had many deals and jobs in the past. This will speak very well for you instead of much talking.
And lastly, do not fail to seeking the services of an escrow for transparency and credibility if there be any client you are working who have indicated interested for you to work for them.
2631  Economy / Gambling / What if bitcointalk creates a casino review and ratings board for members. on: March 05, 2023, 06:59:20 PM
Apparently, the request by members for casino review is becoming demanding due to some experience they have had with some casinos coupled with the complaints of account banning, suspension and poor customer care service which is now beginning to eat deep into casinos with claims of account holders defaulting their policies which if properly investigated, the gambler is not guilty of the penalty and actions metted against them. Some cases here onboard this platform have been sorted out with some gamblers being innocent and funds by winning being released to them while some casinos and their representative are no where to be found.
 Of lately, there have been some issues with casinos locking their thread preventing further discussion by members while directing members to their website customer care which is barely active in responding to members.

Nevertheless I was thinking if there could be a thread under the Economy board created separately for casinos review ( all casinos registered here) with star ratings whereby members could also take part in the ratings for casinos and their performance which would make them seat up doing things right. This would make all registered casinos and their various representatives onboard this platform to doing their work diligently in responding to customers and being active here.  However, if a casino fails to doing or resolving issues between a member and them and consecutively, such casino is being reported here and after much deliberation on the scam accusations board or reputation with no fruitful result, hence there is every possibility of blacklisting such casino by high rank DT1 and DT2 members after they have put efforts to resolving the issues but the casino fails to resolve.
With this, I think casinos would start being up and doing accordingly to avoid being blacklisted here because if they should get blacklisted, that means they are not upto standard for operating  here.
With this casino review and ratings board members both old and new would know better casinos to identify with and if any member chooses to identify with a casino after seeing their ratings and review to be very poor, that member would have no option than to face his or her problem by themselves when it dawn on them or if the case is otherwise.

This is an opinion which would welcome more contributions and possibly ways to develop this particular board if considered and deemed fit to hid to.

Thank you

I join competitions from time to time so I don't mind if another platform would offer it. I don't have specific features or unique reward program to suggest but just have a system to prevent multi-accounting. Nobody wants to compete against two or more accounts owned by the same person.

This is another point to make mate. It is not very funny though that you are playing with a bit related accounts owned by one person cheating and draining your hard earned resources. Even though you are ok with it, it is not alright. I wish a Chet detector not could be used for tracking multiple accounts holders on casino sites that would be fine. But looks cheaters these days are now wiser so your noticing them means you going extra miles to equip your casino with high grade wares to tackle that issue of cheating. These cheating accounts are the reasons casinos some times act funny by banning and suspending accounts with claims of defaulting their rules without considering the fact that they are denting their reputation just to safeguard funds for themselves in running their casino.
2633  Economy / Gambling / Re: they are scamming us? on: March 05, 2023, 05:14:32 PM
 Do not forget that casinos are more or less a business oriented organization. So therefore would want to make more profits to running the casino and also salary payment to her staff. Just like every individual, gamblers or bettors would want to make profit from gambling on casinos same it is applicable to casinos too. No one wants to loss. I some times feel the same way you too feel about casinos intentionally doing what they could to strap gamblers of their hard earned resources all in the name of gambling for fun. Although not all do it intentional but believe me you, they always want More gamblers to fail do they could make more profits to their coffers.  I think sometimes the issues of account ban and suspension must likely be that the casino might be running short of funds do would probably generate more funds from that act of theirs in banning and suspending accounts but they would not say it for us to know rather they would find fault and do the dirty job on people's account and funds.
2634  Economy / Gambling / Re: who to trust in gambling sites? on: March 05, 2023, 04:49:21 PM

There's always a risk if you want to play in small casino, shit can happen even though you've analyzed and think the site wouldn't scam you.
There is even a big risk if you choose to play in a small casino.
After all, small casinos are casinos that many gamblers are definitely not interested in.
The thing that is most feared by playing in a small casino is when gamblers get a large number of wins and they don't pay for the win because the amount of funds stored in the bankroll is insufficient so they choose to leave without paying anything.
This risk is rarely encountered, but as gamblers we must always be careful.
Small casinos usually put a maximum table limits, so if you go beyond the limits, then expect that you will never receive your winning funds. That’s the reason why high rollers never gamble at a small casino, but they prefer to play at big and reputable casinos so that if they got lucky and win, they can always withdraw their funds without delays. The problem with small casinos, aside from they limit your winning chances, there are also high chances that these casinos are not reliable since they have not build yet their good reputation from different gamblers.

Most times, small casinos  likely put ban on high winners when they see they can not meet up with releasing big win to winners. They tell you to do kyc which initially they stated no kyc onset from the beginning and upon registration after much verification on your documents and they see your are on the right track, they request for your source of wealth and when given to them, sometimes they argue it out and some times when they see there is not argument, they get the account blocked and suspended  tagging it a defaulter of their platform. All these are the tricks of small casinos and those casinos are not much popular and known. They are.not even here onboard this platform so I would advise as they are not trusted to be genuine, reliable and capable.
2635  Economy / Gambling / Re: We NEED Bitcointalk Members Feedback on Casino Challenges! on: March 05, 2023, 10:57:05 AM
as far as I can see and creating an account there all the platform features of this site are good enough and of course being easily accessible via a browser on a mobile phone is enough for me to see the quality of this casino site, the chat room is also different from other casinos it is not provided only for active gamblers even new registered users can chat there and that's cool, the games Limbo and Crash are also there. Incidentally, I like these two games. My suggestion is to add other cryptocurrencies like MATIC polygon and XLM because both have cheap transaction fees and also please add bonus promotions new user deposits or other promotions that make gamblers feel at home playing at this casino.  Wink

Incoorperating new crypto currency features as a means of payment is a good idea because most gamblers prefer some certain chain than the other and this sometimes comes in as challenges because they would need to bridge or passing through the process of converting through a third party exchange which they might not be comfortable with doing and causing more transfer fees or charges like wise gas's fee too but when there are other chain option available, potential gamblers would definitely not waste time in the long process but rather, do direct transfer from which ever chain or Wallet they are holding and this would save them time and stress involved. Lastly, I would talk about the customer care service because this is another vital department of every organization. The way they handle situations, respond to their customers determine whether or not the customer would still remain doing business with them. It takes no or little time for a careless customer care to destroy the hard earned reputation of an organization which has been built for a long time. With this, I would suggest you handle your customer care with utmost sense of belonging because that department is another engine room of organizations.
2636  Economy / Gambling / Re: who to trust in gambling sites? on: March 05, 2023, 10:40:09 AM
I mostly look into casino sites registered here because I believe they too would have some good reputation aside being registered here. This platform is a platform that accommodates all but genuine and sincere organizations which are reliable and trustworthy. Some few casinos as mentioned my members here are ok to deal with as they have been in existence for quite a long time now and running successfully without any complaints with a good customer care service which is the key focus to a lasting project and they are running signature campaign managed by high ranked members with large followership. Nevertheless, there are some few review sites where you can also ratings for casinos, it would also guide you too making your decision on casino to deal with.
2637  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🦉 Owl.games 🦉 on: March 03, 2023, 12:06:27 PM
Let me update you one more time regarding my scam accusation thread which is now closed since 2 weeks.

They did finally pay me the confiscated 0.1BTC today. Two weeks ago in that thread I said I already got it, but that turned out to be a little premature. I had their absolute promise and therefore decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and report that I already got it, to speed things up a bit. But I still had to keep pushing and send messages and now today I finally got it and withdrew it successfully.
congrats that you finally got your winnings back.

So the conclusion is that Owl has a TERRIBLE support and you are lucky if they answer 10% of your messages, but if you chase them really hard you will get justice in the end. So I would definitely not recommend them but they are not a scam afterall.
seeing the scam accusation you posted and the comment holydarkness posted and the threads he shared, I completely agree. if their support continues to be that bad I won't be surprised if the gamblers playing on their site decreased because of their bad support.

He is very lucky he got back his funds from them due to his persistent communication with owl games. Their customer service is very poor and that is one of the selling point of every organization be it casino,   centralised exchange etc. You see, it is one thing to build and another to destroy and mind you, it does not take much efforts to destroy and that is the part owl game is towing which is not good for their business. They started by locking their thread here without any tangible reasons for which they had reasonable number of participants from this platform and another mistake they are making is not responding to their customers via their customers Service which is the only option they have left open for members. I would not be surprised when owl casino will start loosing value as a result of customers neglecting the casino. They should better seat up and live up to their expectations if they want to still be relevant in the game.
2638  Economy / Digital goods / Re: Sell a Casino Script | 27 Unique Games | 100 Slot Games on: March 03, 2023, 11:54:24 AM
I hope this is not another seller who re-coded another script from one popular marketplace just like the one who sells a script here, he should have a way to prove ownership of the script and if possible a testimonial from another buyer with a working casino from a script OP is selling, its better if the seller has his own site to house all the scripts he is selling, this is the easiest way to gain a reputation as a seller.
Of course, I also will recommend an escrow its important to protect buyers from newbie sellers.

Let's hope for this and wait for some kind of update from the OP here, although he gave his contact in telegram and all contacts on the deal are apparently supposed to be there.

I think OP should provide proof of ownership that he owns the script and also provide his portfolio and previous works. He should also call for his past clients to vouch for him or her here so that any potential buyer would know and have that confidence in what they are buying as these days it is just a copy cat and prototype of what others have down some people would rewrite and put up for sale for an inexperienced buyer to buy and start suffering from hacks. I am not too comfortable with the telegram conversation op opted for, I would prefer every conversation about this deal be here for transparency and credibility so other members could also contribute to the conversation for any potential buyer. The conversation started here and should end here and lastly like I have said earlier before now, there should be an escrow for this deal so that both parties involved will haveo differences as to reaching and honouring agreement.

The rate at which crime increases in the society is very alarming.

Security is every one's business so it is advisable you watch after yourself, family and assets properly.

2640  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If bitcoin is lost in a wallet can it ever be recovered on: March 02, 2023, 08:35:02 PM
The reason for this question is that I just wanted to know if after losing one's bitcoin, will it be accredited to the number of Bitcoin mine even if the wallet can never be recovered
If Yes then can't the wallet be trace back Afterall it is possible to see the number of Bitcoin own by an unknown individual through bitcoin Blockchain and with the years of dormancy of the address its possible to know if the wallet address might be lost and if the address as been long (like 2010, 2011 or 2012) such address could easily be hacked because it likely an Hot wallet and security was not that strait

The issue of accreditation is not an issue, there are 21million bitcoin mined already these are the numbers that will ever exist and nothing more nothing less  Nevertheless, all bitcoin can be traced or tracked via bitcoin explorer which is built on the bitcoin blockchain. This explorer enables individual to have a clue of transaction destination which stands or serves as evidence of payment or issuance however the case maybe. However dormant wallet addresses are mostly accounts holding for long. Some of those wallet you see that has big volume of bitcoin in them and have not done any traceable transaction can likely be seen as a hodler account in which the owner have been holding for a long time. Off lately there have been series of accounts hodling bitcoin for long that have been activated with bitcoin transferred. You should not be worried about that as it does not affect the total supply of bitcoin.
