Can I enter the BetID somewhere to verify if I copy/pasted the right ones?

I think the larger problem is network bandwidth rather than hard device capacity. Even with high speed Internet connection (> 20 Mbit/sec) it can take a couple of days to download the block chain from scratch.
Yes, that is exactly what Chines miners are worring about. The increasing block size may impact their mining facility and the rate of mining reward. So China has it's great firewall with very limited bandwith, but they also have the cheapest (and dirtiest!) electricity. The cheap electricity made them the main miners, pushing all competition off the market, and since they all share the same interests, they have the power to keep blocks small. I see a chicken-egg problem, which limits the growth of Bitcoin. |

People playing gambling are now growing because of its anonymity and fast transactions.
Bitcoin is having free advertisements by using bitcoin in gambling, almost all transactions flowing in blockchain is from gambling.
The internet got big because of porn, followed by much more applications. Gambling could be the thing that pushes Bitcoin to much more users. I myself for example have never done any online gambling except for Bitcoin (and a few Doge but that's all cryptocurrencies). Even now I would not even consider getting my creditcard for any gambling website. |

Since nobody had posted anything on R6 yet, I did a search for winners. All they have to do is claim it here with a qualifying bitcointalk-account: Bet ID: 572859999 - Grant_70eoaBet ID: 574915555 - dddnuriBet ID: 575134444 - madcoinBet ID: 576128888 - Andreas80Bet ID: 576141111 - Andreas80Bet ID: 576178888 - Andreas80Bet ID: 576196666 - Andreas80Bet ID: 576232222 - Andreas80Bet ID: 576243333 - Andreas80Bet ID: 576266666 - Andreas80Bet ID: 576352222 - Andreas80Bet ID: 576399999 - Andreas80Bet ID: 576410000 - Andreas80Bet ID: 577239999 - dddnuriBet ID: 577327777 - aRp |

I am new to the site, I made a few (faucet  ) bets, went to my user settings, and when I came back, "My Bets" is empty. Is that supposed to happen? Or can I still see my old bets? You should still see your bets, maybe there was some delay loading. Can you try again and if still an issue click the help button and let me know. When I try again, I don't see my first few bets, but everything after the "glitch" shows up again. I'll leave it unless it happens again. I have completed pi challenge (from faucet ), but as I don't qualify yet, I will keep it without posting here until I have 400+ Activity and a one week old account. I may do it again with 1000 times higher bets and keep this as my fall back. |

Nice contest! It's like PD's Bingo-competition, I like it  I have just created an account, and with my current activity I need to wait one month, which means the contest is over. - 300+ Bitcointalk activity and BetKing account older than 1 month
I will however soon (within 14 days, although I'm not sure when exactly the cutoff is) reach 400+ activity, so I only need to wait one week: - 400+ Bircointalk activity and BetKing account older than 1 week
So it seems I can join anyway I am new to the site, I made a few (faucet ) bets, went to my user settings, and when I came back, "My Bets" is empty. Is that supposed to happen? Or can I still see my old bets? |

That's the client, not the blockchain. I currently count 74 GB. It's not only the download, it's also "the other side" where the nodes have to give you the data. On a HDD it takes a lot of activity checking the data, on a SSD it will probably be faster. And it also eats CPU-power. I imagine Bitcoin has been doing several transactions per second for the past 7 years. A HDD will have to re-check all these transactions, with an access time allowing a maximum of a few hundred per second. That makes it something you simply cannot do in a few hours, no matter what your internet speed is. A SSD will be faster, but mine isn't even big enough for the whole blockchain. |

"All apartments include: Smoking allowed" I don't know if this is standard in Croatia, but for any non-smoker from the Western world this is an absolute no-go. You'd have to pay me (in Bitcoin of course) to stay there. |

Do you think if BTC had a stable price which could only be altered by $0.01-0.10 it would still be as popular and as used?
I don't think so. Bitcoin hits the news when its price explodes, and its price explodes when it hits the news. This has happened several times in the past. Compare it to the stock market: would stocks be popular if the price would be stable? At least stocks can pay dividend to get some return, bitcoin can only give a positive return if the value goes up. That being said, the people "holding" bitcoin waiting for an increase do so to get more dollars. It will be a long time before bitcoin itself is enough to use everywhere without converting to fiat first. Bitcoin is by design aiming for deflation. The supply of new bitcoins slowly dries up (most bitcoins are mined already!), while fiat money is continuously created aiming for inflation. That means - as long as it is popular - bitcoin will always go up in value if you measure it in dollars/euros. It may be more stable against gold at some point in the far future. |

and our worst apartments are BTC0.1790 per night
I think you have to work on your advertising skills Who's going to ask for "can I have your worst apartment please?" This could be a large step for Bitcoin in Croatia and whole of Europe Do you want to do this to gain more customers, or to create Bitcoin awareness? I don't think you can get a normal paying customer to buy bitcoins to pay his hotel with, but you might be able to draw more bitcoin users to your hotel. If I had a choice between two hotels, and in one of them I could pay with bitcoins, I would do that just for fun |

There was a 291 BTC payment to send .0001 BTC just a little over a week ago. Last I heard the miners were looking for the sender to refund the money, but no one had come forward. There was an article on Coindesk about it, and someone noticed the transaction and started a thread here about it.
They could just return the money, although that has a risk as the address can be abandoned by the owner already. Maybe they can send a small amount back to the address the 291 BTC came from to draw some attention. |

and that's should take you around a week or two to find it for 10 chars.., no ?  as it took me around 1 hour for 1Defcon... 4 characters more add a lot more time. While 1Defcon takes me 23 minutes for 50% chance, 1Defconfour for example would take 500 years for the same chance. |

You dont really understand gambling. You should know before you play that house always win in the end. In gambling you have a higher chance of lossing than winning.
OP seems to think having an edge for the house means it's rigged. He also doesn't seem to understand the word "provably" in "provably fair". What I don't get though, if he things all casino's are rigged, why does he play there? Go find a different hobby Provably fair is based on math and encryption. It's hard for most people to fully understand, but the good thing is: you don't have to understand it to use it. |

Somehow this might be the problem why people don't try to use bitcoin. But you can verify your customer with the btc wallet address that he will give it you to receive the payment from you and yeah, that is also risky because there is no cancellation of sending btc to other wallet when you already sent it to them. (I don't know if there's a cancel sending)
Google: "double spending". For a cup of coffee a zero confirmation transaction is perfectly fine, but for a complete dinner for 4, say 0.25 BTC, you don't want your customer to undo the transaction. On the other hand, you also don't want your customer to be waiting for a confirmation, taking up table space, and getting annoyed if the next block takes too long. |

True and don't forget because many people have become addicted to gambling, with the internet and no control it is even easier to get addcited. I do hope some better regulation will come against scam casino's btw. They got a free heaven to commit scams unto us.
Regulation is not going to change anything if a casino can easily switch to a different country while payments are in bitcoin. How are they going to regulate any malicious casino if if they can't even take The Pirate Bay down? Just like servers spreading infected software are still around. Regulation is not going to change anything. Besides, scamming people is already illegal in most countries anyway. That does not stop scammer from doing so. Of course gambling addiction is a risk, but that's mainly up to the user himself. I know I'd easily get addicted, and the solution is simple: I use play money and never risk anything I'm not willing to lose. It's even worse if you gamble with money you borrowed: You can't afford to lose it as you don't even own it. You can try to regulate everything, threat all adults like children, but what happened to people's own responsibility? If someone wants to gamble, he'll find a way anyway. |
