Really great idea and I would definitely use such a service once more exchanges are added.
The number of arbitrage possibilities are kinda limited if you only support Poloniex and Bittrex.

How many exchanges are you planning on adding? Also, how much will you charge for your Coincatcher analyzer?
2682  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin Sports books on: November 08, 2017, 12:46:42 PM
If you are talking about sports book that only accepts bitcoin as payment method than you should look at nitrogensports.eu or sportsbet.io
Both of them are in business and can be trusted however I will go with nitrogensports.eu rather than sportsbet.



i agree, nitrogensports is the best one for the now for sports betting. i wish they put live soccer lines on their site.



They do put live soccer games when there are big games.
Last time I was betting on a live soccer was during the champions league quarter finals, I believe that they open live bets on soccer during major events such Champions League and FIFA World Cup.

But don't expect for good odds, I was very disappointed to find that they are taking about 12% house edge when you bet on live games, not fun at all.

That's one of the reasons why I usually stick with traditional sportsbooks during live events such as the world cup.
They offer much better odds and you're able to bet on many more things than on Nitrogensports for example.

If I want to place a bet a few days in advance, Bitcoin sportsbooks are usually fine, but I do compare a bit between different ones before placing bets.

On another note, BTG got a testnet since a few days. It's only a matter of years until they've got things running on a main net level.
Even then it's probably just going to tank the price anyway, it's now trading for around 0.027 BTC at Yobit.
Imagine what the price will do once everyone starts dumping their BTG, people are just waiting for it and they've probably prepared as well.

Bitcoin cash was a success compared to this thing  Roll Eyes
2684  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Amazon Integrate Bitcoin? on: November 08, 2017, 12:04:52 PM
It is a payment system, so of course it can. The question is do they need it? it has unstable movements  in the price all the time, so there is no point to do that in the closest time

Unstable price movements won't impact amazon at all.

Please keep in your mind that if Amazon is going to accept bitcoin, they will do it through a 3rd party channel such as bitpay, which converts the BTC to fiat at the rate of the buy point.
Which means that you pay with bitcoins, but amazon gets fiat, they are not open to any changes in the bitcoin price.


That's a possibility, but it's also possible for them to keep a certain percentage of the Bitcoins.
Overstock is doing that and keeping around 50% of all Bitcoin payments they receive, perhaps there are other companies that are doing the same.

I'd really like to see some statistics on Bitcoin payments from other companies, if usage is too low then I don't see Amazon accepting Bitcoin in the near future.
2685  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which knowledge is important for crypto trading? on: November 08, 2017, 11:25:08 AM
Wow, I thought studying about charting and basic trading is already enough. Thanks for the tips you guys posted, this thread is really helpful. I wish I could master the skills that would fit my trading style. Thanks!
Reading or watching tutorials is a really good start, but it's very important to get some hands on experience too.
Start trading with little amounts and pick coins that are volatile (big price swings), you'll get a feel for the market and can apply your strategies immediately.

Also don't forget to make a log of your strategies and the profits or losses it generated.
There are services that offer this automatically though Smiley
2686  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: ✴ Blockchain Cops and Lawyers on: November 08, 2017, 11:17:52 AM
While this is a good initiative, I don't think it can be implemented without the support of governments themselves.

A big exchange wouldn't give out user info to just any body.
You'll need government support for that

I can see one way how this could work, investigators could act as private investigators to solve crimes for a person that has hired them.

Private investigators also exist in the real world and they usually find ways to act legally, so why wouldn't someone be able to hire a specialist that has the knowledge of how to track a criminal down through the blockchain.

They also forward all incriminating information to law enforcement.
2687  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Thoughts on OpenBazaar on: November 07, 2017, 04:07:50 PM
It's definitely not end-user friendly and I doubt that there are many active users.
I've read stories of sellers getting a few sales here and there, but seems like you'd have to advertise a bit yourself.

Haven't used it myself recently, can't imagine many people have.
2688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Relationships! on: November 07, 2017, 04:04:51 PM
It depends on how you define gambling, I think most couples have gambled together once in their lives.
Could be as simple as playing the lottery together or participating in a raffle.

I've also seen couples that came by our irl poker game and they both played, there were also other women there, so it's not that gambling is exclusive for men.

2689  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Altcoin trading on: November 06, 2017, 02:43:32 PM
It's definitely enough to start learning how to trade, I'd actually recommend starting with such a low amount.
There are enough coins that you could buy for 1 dollar or less, those are perfect to start out with.

It's not unlikely that you'll be able to make a few dollars profit with that if you pick the right altcoin Smiley

Read up on some trading tutorials before you start though!

I have the chance 2 fell 400 red,after half an hour of the game.How can this be?You scammers
My attempt at an exegesis, as it looks like it's the sport of the moment:

"I too1 had a chance at [random game]. After half an hour2, I found myself 400 [satoshis] in the red3. [Random rant follows]."

1 slang from "2".
2 probably because he's a bit slow, this may mean a couple of rounds.
3 meaning he lost 400 satoshis.

Dang, I wouldn't have been able to figure that one out, you could be right but who knows?

But would he be going through all that trouble to post here for 400 satoshi's? On the other hand, 400 rounds on red in roulette would be quite silly as well. Tongue
2691  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wagering requirements on deposit without bonus, acceptable? on: November 03, 2017, 05:52:20 PM
I guess it’s because some casinos used to match ypur 1st deposit as a free welcome give-away. People would just withdraw the welcome give-away so then they’d effectively be playing for free. I think it’s fair yes.
No, I've specifically mentioned that some casino's do this without offering a bonus, so a wagering requirement on your deposit alone.
Wagering requirements on bonuses are fine, I mean that's pretty normal.
2692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Wagering requirements on deposit without bonus, acceptable? on: November 03, 2017, 04:50:04 PM
I've read a few posts and topics recently that some crypto gambling websites have wagering requirements in place even if you haven't received any bonuses.

Fortune Jack for example had a x5 wagering requirement in place for all deposits, meaning you could only withdraw after you'd wagered your deposit 5 times.

They've changed this into x2 recently though:
Quote
Wagering requirements apply before any deposit made on Member Account can be withdrawn. The deposit amount must be turned over 2 times before your withdrawal request will be approved. Wagering requirements can be met by playing on slots, casino games and live games.

What do you think about this? Is it fair for casino's to put measures like these into place or not?
2693  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Samsung galaxy s5 mining bitcoin? on: November 03, 2017, 04:19:05 PM
I downloaded an app yesterday. Now I've got 9,600 satoshi without much efforts, just did 3-4visits since I don't have an internet connection the whole day. It's a 'mining' app that depends on how many cores your phone has (just written on the faqs). I'm still not sure yet if it's paying, the minimum payout is 400,000 satoshis. Gonna try to be more active tomorrow since I don't have any other plans.
I don't really do mining (gpu, cloud or whatsoever), when I was a newbie, they say it's not advisable for me. This will be
the first time, and I don't know if this is already called mining. Grin
Are you sure that it's an actual mining app? Can't imagine you could even mine 9600 satoshi's in one day with your phone.
It's possible that they just pay you from other sources of income, advertising or selling your data to companies perhaps?

I'd be careful with downloading apps like that, before you know it you have malware on your phone.
2694  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin Casino You've ACTUALLY WON? on: November 03, 2017, 01:52:59 PM
Of course Bitcoin casinos pay out, but it's easier on some casino's.

There are a couple of casino's that require you to wait a few days before they send out the payment, it needs to get audited etc.
I tend to avoid those, because I like want to get my winnings immediately Tongue

But on sites like Crypto-Games you receive your payment in a couple of seconds after request, no risk at all.
2695  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: new addition to my site: tool to prove CPU mining is dead on: November 03, 2017, 01:38:11 PM
CPU mining will never fully be death, because its the most decentral one, there should be a software called "passive earner" that people can install and that is beeing updated by a specialised company
that software than uses passivly unused computation power to mine promising cryptocurrencies, that are beeing chosen professionally by that cryptocurrency company,

you could earn millions with such a software,

regards

OP is talking about mining Bitcoin though, in every scenario, you would be making a net loss when trying to mine Bitcoins with your CPU.

The only way anyone could make something through CPU mining Bitcoin is if someone installs a hidden miner in software that is used by millions of people.
That's pretty unethical if you don't inform your users, but it has been done.  

I think there are some altcoins which could still be mined with your CPU, but you won't earn a lot from it.

Here's a thread about that:

2696  Economy / Economics / Re: Gold Is Yesterday, Here Comes Bitcoin As A Reserve Currency on: November 03, 2017, 01:10:58 PM
Bitcoin is a modern currency but gold is a traditional asset.Bitcoin cannot replace gold so easily because the amount of security gold provides , Bitcoin cannot provide.
Bitcoin is actually looking less like a currency these day, I mean how could you use something that's so volatile as a currency?
It shouldn't have to replace gold completely, both Bitcoin and gold could easily coexist.

What do you mean by security btw?
2697  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Vietnam Bans Bitcoin as Payment on: November 03, 2017, 12:51:18 PM
lol, people can look the price of BTC. It has reached the new peak. If one country ban Bitcoin lead to prices increasing, I want all countries in the world ban Bitcoin. Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
You're probably joking but it should be pretty clear that countries banning Bitcoin does have a negative effect on Bitcoin's price.
Just because it's not the case now doesn't mean that it won't be like this when a larger country decides to ban the use of Bitcoin.

Fact is that Vietnam is a smaller country and there has been other news that has driven the price up for now.
2698  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why do most people invest in wrong ICOs to lose money ? on: November 03, 2017, 12:37:15 PM
Participate in ICO is risky. many projects are closed. By experience the best time to participate in the summer ICO. It is also better to use insider information Cool

There is no right or wrong time to invest in an ICO, you just have to pick the right project regardless of when you choose to invest.
Most people don't really have insider information, so it's silly to give that as advice.

Instead people should focus on doing research about the team, technical aspects of the ICO and what kind of work has already gone into the project.
2699  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 0.03 BTC to 3 BTC Challenge on: November 03, 2017, 12:22:18 PM
LOL how Smiley) i think you cant do this. altcoin all dead right now. How to trading and x100 yours balance Cheesy
No, it's still possible with altcoins, there's still enough volatility to make some good trades.
Certain altcoins are also doing quite well and if Bitcoin drops again, we'll see altcoins jump up again.

It's going to be a really tough challenge, but you can do it with proper bankroll management and picking the right investments.
2700  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Coinnnnn.com - Feedback please on: November 03, 2017, 11:33:37 AM
Call me old-fashioned, but I liek it much better when there's a clear graph with everything on the X and Y axis defined.
I also just don't like the design of the graph you currently have, way too simplistic and bombastic for me.

Also, the design of all of the information under the graph is a bit too underwhelming, everything is just plain black, the text/title size and spacing seems a bit off to me.

It's a good start, but you really need to upgrade the overall look and feel.
