2681  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Newbies are safer with top altcoins on: July 15, 2020, 05:54:59 PM
That was always the very first advice given to the new ones whenever they get to enter this industry. Yes, it is indeed safe to get them into the top Altcoins to keep their money safe for investment and to avoid them getting into shit coins that are spread in the market. It is a way of practicality for them to first get familiarize the known Altcoins on the top spot before exploring the vast world of cryptocurrencies. But still, newbies must not be reliant on the top Altcoins. They still do need to know everything they must know before coming up into investing because being knowledgeable will keep you safe from threats of getting scam and whatsoever.

Keeping yourself reliant on the top spot will not say that you will be safe on those coins since all coins are volatile so exploration for worthy and possible coins is also an option once you are done familiarizing yourself into the top Altcoins. Your safety on investment must not be just dependent on the top Altcoins because what you know will truly keep you safe. So before deciding to get into investment, be sure that you are already knowledgeable enough to give what it takes and know what must and must not be done on entering an investment.

You are browsing through Twitter or telegram and you come in contact with news like this '𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙨𝙤 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝  Mr George Anderson ịt has been a life changing experience and a God sent to humanity 𝙞𝙣𝙗𝙤𝙭 𝙝im 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙖 𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙚'
Join link???

When ever you come across such it's a total scam, it's never real to begin with, it's just a fake good news to lure you into a trap, do not bother to read

The fact is people who make it big aren't always ready to share news about how they do it

That was seriously a cheap and obvious trap to scam people. I guess no one that is already here for too long in crypto will be lured by such message foe it is really an indecent and informal way of encouraging people to get into such schemes. Maybe the new ones might be caught into such trap so still it is very alarming to think that such spam messages have been circulating on the Telegram platform. So it is right move to let other people know about this so that no one will be victimized of such act.

At first glance you will be really suspicious about something like that most specially if you have just created your account and received such message. But new ones are still falling for that one since they are not aware that they are being targeted by those scammers that are working on a dirty way just to earn money from other people. We must raise an awareness about this to avoid people from keep on falling into such traps specially for the new ones since they are the one who is directly affected an being targeted by such schemes.
2683  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty Managers and Shit projects on: July 15, 2020, 01:17:20 PM
Why to put only the blame on the bounty managers? They are just accepting the job being offered to them and that is to keep the campaign organized while the promotion is going on. No one can entirely know what will be the exact outcome of the project only the developers or the team behind that project. Bounty managers are just doing the task being held on them that is why they are getting paid for. Also, as a participant of that campaign, you must be the responsible one to seek the informations needed by your own self to decide if you were going to join the campaign or not.

The blame must not be forced into a single side because both have their own fault. On the bounty managers, maybe it was their fault for not assuring the legibility of the campaign, on the part of the participants, the informations they need to know if they were joining a worthy or legible campaign. But the main blame is for the team or the developer behind because our only task as manager and participants is to promote the project to attract potential investors and the team are the ones capable to manage what will be the outcome of their project. If a bounty become a scam, we, the manager and the participants are all the same victim so no one must be pin point that it is his/her fault only.
2684  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why are you involved with Crypto? on: July 15, 2020, 12:08:42 PM
Many of us might share the same way or reasoning why we got here into cryptocurrency. In my case, I got here into cryptocurrency simply because of curiosity and the urge to know more what cryptocurrency is all about. When I have learned that you are capable or you can have a chance to earn an income here, I got more interested on learning and knowing more about cryptocurrency. That is when my journey in this crypto community have started. I play along various ways possible to earn such as joining into bounty campaigns, doing trading and investment as well as joining into airdrops. My curiosity is the main reason why I am here and since I have already enjoyed working on it, I stayed even I have witnessed and experience the hard times on this industry because it became already my passion.
2685  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slots are better than Dice. on: July 14, 2020, 10:37:39 PM
It still depends on the player. Maybe some are thinking that slots are way better than playing dice but other people who are into playing dice are thinking that playing dice is much better than playing slots. Both have different way of playing so the comparison is generally not in need since we do have different preference on the games we do play. It is not right to push through your belief that something is way better that the others belief since we are not on the same point of view.

At the end of the day, what really matters is that you enjoy what you have played whether it is the slot or the dice game because different people do have different preferences on which game they think that they are lucky enough and which suit their gaming skills and preference. Simply, there is no one sided game that we must push through to be better or to be the best game because maybe for you it looks easy to play but for others, it would take them further thinking and calculations to be able to play since gambling games are generally application of mathematical probability applied in real life. Whatever the game we play, let us just enjoy it and respect other people's point of view about it.
2686  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Life soundtrack for Gamblers? on: July 14, 2020, 02:23:16 PM
I think it doesn't really matter what kind of soundtrack you were going to use on your video since the content is what will really matter after all you are promoting the content of the video and not the soundtrack. Although good background music is good to hype up the video presentation, still doing promotion will be more effective if you will be doing it on a simpler manner which is just plain. Just do a creative video presentation so viewers will not be bored on watching and add some spice on the thumbnail since most of the millennial viewers are basing the way of watching on curiousity brought by the thumbnail making them watch and discover what it is all about.

But if you insist to put some spice by adding a soundtrack, then most common songs will do. You just need to do copyright of the music which can be hassle compared to doing it just on a simpler presentation.
2687  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Home Court advantage = Not an advantage now because of no-live audience? on: July 14, 2020, 01:37:13 PM
Live audience is a great factor to boost up the confidence and hype of the players residing on that court but there might be times playing alone can still feel better because if you deduct the existence of live audience, the pressure on the players that they must win because it is their home court and all their supporters are there would be lessen.

Home court advantage would still be an advantage because players are more familiarize into their own court since the drills and practice games are being held on their own territory so when live game comes on, they are already familiar and can move freely around the court. It is just a matter of support when live audience are there but the advantage of playing on your own court will give the best confidence for the player on the court.

In a new normal approach there are countries that put manikins in substitution of live audience to let the players feel they are still having a support so existence of live audience won't be a problem anymore. It will still be relying on the team players on how they will perform during the game using their home court advantage even without the presence of live audience.
2688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Las Vegas Casinos are open - end of the Pandemic era. on: July 14, 2020, 01:01:38 PM

Furthermore flights to Las Vegas are already full, and people are coming in large numbers to play out there, hence I’m sincerely praying that no one gets infected while playing out there.

Our stupid, unnecessary moves is going to kill us. For a gambler it's not something that he must do, but still they have to go just because they feel the luxury. No one is safe until we have a vaccine.

Imagine how would one feel if they caught the virus because they were too stupid to go the casino and got infected from there.

I agree. Gamblers that will choose to get into casinos in Las Vegas will surely die out of stupidity knowing that covid-19 pandemic is still on and having a mass gathering would just create commotion and the spread of the virus will be just a snap of the finger. Although they were thinking to open up the casinos for the sake of their economy, still it is an inappropriate action to do because we are still not safe since there is still no vaccine proven to kill the virus although there is already a vaccine released by Russia that have already done its final stage of trial, it will be still on a process until once proven effective to kill the virus.

It will be okay to open up casinos if they will assure that they will be just operating on 30-50% capacity to further observe social distancing and strictly implement precautionary measures like sanitation to prevent the spread of virus. But still it will be irrelevant to get into casinos at times like this because it is still too dangerous to get outside because of the infectious disease. If a gambler do really want to play gambling, there are online gambling sites to choose with which can provide a lot more convenient gaming experience with the assurance of being safe at home. Let us just set aside the thought of going into casinos for a while until such time that the vaccine is discovered to end this pandemic.

Exec Embezzles $22M From ‘Influencer’ Marketing Firm, Spends Nearly Half on Crypto Gambling




I know this is an old article but I'm just surprised that crypto casinos is this big already.

The article says one person has lose maybe at least $10 million in a casino from a poker game, I mean, how big we are already? I'm just amazed.


Can we just discuss the market size not the gambling addiction or anything related to that?




The size of the whole community of crypto casino is already that much big specially at this time that casinos are temporarily closed and people have no choice and if they wanted to play gambling, they will be just dropping by any online crypto casino for a much more convenient gaming experience even players are jus staying at home.

That article is not already surprising because there are lots of cases that lose of money is associated on playing in a crypto casino. That amount stated on the article is not that big if you will compare it into the whole loss being recorded while playing in a crypto casino. That is amount is really massive indeed but just for the individual loss of the player. If you will be better think of it, it is just a part of the big community that crypto casino have. It will just continue to expand as long as there are players that are being encourage playing on this platform so such loss will be stated to be a small part of it.
2690  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your favorite crypto for gambling? on: July 11, 2020, 04:03:45 PM
I mainly gamble on casino sites that don't yet accept cryptos, but if I do play on crypto casino's such as stake, I always use dogecoin. Fast transactions and low fees. Never used another crypto mainly because of the fees.

Indeed, but with the volatility, some still prefer using Bitcoin as their main currency in crypto gambling platforms. Those users whom preferred Bitcoin either often had a lot of holdings in the platform they gamble so they didn't bother any fees at all or either they were simply love gambling and play in it constantly, and insist to let those platform hold their cryptos than to withdraw then deposit again.

If I gamble for fun, I gamble with Dogecoin. There will be no feel of guilt or regret if I lose because I'm doing it for fun. I can say that it's my favorite crypto just for gambling and if I gets serious, bitcoin is the choice.
I will mention LTC too, it's a good coin to use for gambling for fun.

What do you mean gambling for fun? And how could you differentiate playing with fun vs playing seriously? lol Grin
Yes, Dogecoin's low fees really are for those whom just want to play now withdraw later or should we rather say those users whom play only for their spare time just to have some fun after their works or stuffs. And I think the serious gambling is when a gambler gambles everyday for money making.. right? If I am, dogecoin can still be an option. TBH, any crypto will do as it would have same amount if exchanged to your local fiat.
2691  Other / Meta / Re: Is counter feedback a good solution? on: July 11, 2020, 03:32:02 PM
Counter feedback isn't 'good' solution but at least there is solution at all. It's like something is better than nothing. To be honest I am not a fan of 'counter feedback', it's better if possible solution by discussion. But if a user become inactive for some reason who have left negative feedback then there is no other way except counter feedback (if case has been solved). Doesn't matter if both rating reflect on profile, when someone will read feedback then they will realize everything. Also the warning for newbies and guests will be removed by leaving counter feedback. So somehow this is a solution although isn't better.

Indeed. If it was the case that someone would counter feedback, it would be pretty much mostly based off as a revenge with pure subjective reasons and criticisms. In which is still happening especially if the accusation was based on hate from certain arguments that leads to further investigation of a user's past and finding a little mistake out of it. Meanwhile, IMO, I still don't bother nor judge those who had gain negative trust while having positive trusts as well, because old and veteran users here in the forum often tends to see the validity of the reference of each flags first.

And you're right, CF must only be applied if and only if an inactive only had been active just for a negative feedback on someone. But still, opening a thread in reputation before red tagging a user either a feedback or a counter feedback is the best way to solve a certain issue.

Is it a good option para sa mga newbie? I mean kahit ako hindi masyadong nag-dideep dive sa mga lightning networks and wallets kasi kampante nako sa Coins.ph at iba pang mga segwit and non-custodial/hard wallets. if ever na itry man namin ito, what features does it have na wala ang mga common wallets na ginagamit natin ngayon? (syempre maliban sa Lightning-like speed of transactions nito and UX na sinasabi mong nagproprogress from time to time)

But still, I might check it out and soon kapag nahumaling din ako baka ipromote ko din ang paggamit nito sa iba lalo na dito sa forum!  Grin
2693  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Kudos to Bitcasino.io on: July 10, 2020, 05:03:00 PM
Is this a marketing strategy to earn back the trust of Bitcointalk users to Bitcasino ? because the OP is newbie and i dont buy a single word. Perhaps this is related to the other thread posted in this section about an issue Bitcasino not paying in full instead gave the user a small of amount of his winnings in installment.
I can also see a security flaw. First all, it's very bad for a gambling website to not set up 2FA it should be mandatory because scenario's like this could happen.

Indeed. bitcasino.io already had a bad image here in the forum and a newbie promoting and stating that its support help him with his fault is just ridiculous. If their system would be faulty and had a lot of security flaws, them rewarding the victims and those victims such as the OP is just a pure desperate action by the platform to gain back the forum users trusts. Also, if they were generous like that, I might be always tell them that I'm hacked or what, because that generosity isn't a good thing but rather a foolish move IMO.
2694  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: How to add bitcoin as payment method in website on: July 10, 2020, 04:31:27 PM
Hi guys can anyone guide me about payment method integration one of mine client https://www.ainit.net/ want to add payment method bitcoin in thier website any merchant suggestion website is based for they offer services in sydney dubai pakistan.

Better link your bitcoin address or QR code (if your wallet offers such feature but you also need to indicate on your platform the use of the wallet you're using) on your platform/website yet it is only good for small businesses and one-at-a-time transactions. If you would do that, you might need to have connections with the sender first so that you could validate that they are the one who would send you the payment (which is a lot of work to do especially if you have a lot of payment incoming).

If you like to make it automated and just simply let the users transact and pay you while you didn't need to verify each transaction one by one, better asks or hire programmers in the Services board.

Hello!
I am the project Manager of "Trading Automation Nowadays" . This is software that will engage in trading and it is absolutely free. But you must remember that free cheese is only in the mousetrap! For this reason, after receiving the software, you will need to give 50% of the bitcoins that the software will earn you. Isn't this a cool collaboration? Places are limited! If you want to get into a closed project, then contact the founder in the telegram @McSiena

This wouldn't work mate. 50% is a huge deal for traders. Broker are much efficient and cheap as they would only get .25% of your earnings. So basically if we used your "automation" that made us lose, would you give us the 50% rebate of that loss? We'd rather work hard than use a bot that isn't verified nor popular, and give its maker a 50% part of the earnings. And if you really wanted to gain clients (in which you would find a hard time gaining here in the forum), better post this on Services as it fits your idea.

This offer is really funny and ridiculous. I mean, 50 freakin percent for a bot? Hell no! Cheesy no hard feelings dude...
2696  Other / Meta / Re: Paraphrasing, is it ok? on: July 10, 2020, 03:02:08 PM
An example:
The system has no balance. We can all see in the luxurious mansions of the wealthy San Francisco that only a few blocks away from the poor tents of the homeless. We can well feel this in individuals and certain businesses that do nothing better for civil society but earn ridiculous amounts of money. We can understand this by looking at those who are just as eager to spend money, and on the other hand, we are witnessing a very difficult situation for those whose debts have crushed their souls.

The system is rigged. We all can see it in the opulent residences of the rich in San Francisco which lie blocks away from the squalid tents of the homeless. We can feel it in the way that certain people and businesses do little to better civilization yet make ludicrous amounts of money. We can hear it in the frivolity with which certain people spend money and the morbid gravity of those whose souls are crushed by debt.


This was indeed a plagiarism. Paraphrasing is changing the whole context, from the positioning of the parts and figures of speeches to the whole context itself, onto your own vocabulary and your own word styling, AND indicating your idea's source (This is a common issue in academic papers and researches). The text you've accused didn't paraphrased at all, but rather synonymized [1] other words yet remains most of the literal words used, the idea, and the parts of speech.



[1] synonymize

2697  Economy / Reputation / Re: Earning fraudulent Merits: automated translations to local boards on: July 10, 2020, 02:34:52 PM

What I found funny here is that Google Translator translates so off that you couldn't understand it well in your own language. In my case, if someone uses the translator and translates some English context onto Filipino, the proper construction of the sentences would be different and wouldn't be that understandable. And shouldn't be the local community be knowledgeable with the google translated articles?

But if there were really users that do such ridiculous activities, negative trusts isn't a fit for the issue, but rather a report or deletion, and a warning by the moderator. Negative trust should only be implied if and only if the user did not comply with the warnings (for the 3rd time/3rd offense), while if the user is already high ranks (in which they already know such activities is prohibited and never been tolerated in the forum), negative trusts upon 2nd offense would be fine..
2698  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [SCAM] Fake Atomic wallet phishing app on: July 10, 2020, 02:02:35 PM
I have decompiled the APK and reported to AtomicWallet via Twitter DM

The app loads a local HTML file into a webview and asks for mnemonic phrases which then sends to a Google Form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfUiPHs1lOr_XLMemq6aMLcS3BQ4BaYOJXDUTMEMqibPgazsA/viewform)

Can you indicate here the apk codes that has the line that leads to that file? Knowing that it redirects to a google form then sends to the attacker wouldn't be enough, evidences such as screenshots or the real code will do.. The file you've indicated only is I guess a dummy file form. If they would use google, wouldn't it be that hard and difficult to link due to security measures of google?

Now I see why they only need network access permission, so that they could redirect the user's phrases input in the fake app.
2699  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it beneficial for the crypto casinos to add stable coins? on: July 10, 2020, 01:39:24 PM
.......
Now, here's my questions, is it beneficial for the crypto gambling industry and can we expect other popular casinos in the forum will soon add stable coins?

It is the dream of most gamblers here, to somehow have a safe haven for their holdings. With the common volatility of decentralized cryptocurrencies, many find it difficult to have a certain and stable amount of their winnings. They might win a hundred dollars now, but the time they need it, it could be only 90.

Meanwhile, some would still find having stable coins unnecessary and unrealiable, due to the fact that having stable coins could also be risky (even riskier) as you couldn't expect that later it could cost half of its price today depending on the big time holders of that certain coin (with USDT, once the USDs price suddenly go down, then their holdings in USDT would be pretty off as well)

Both have pros and cons. It would only depend on how and when would the holder withdraw his holdings.

Although it is smaller issue, I think we need to know here of what we should do when we encountered that bug? Do we need to erase the sig materials and refresh before it wear again or we just let it be fixed?

Pffrt already mentioned that he had slow internet connection at that time. This wasn't a bug but just a loading error. Try going to a certain bitcointalk page and instantly stop the process while it was loading (depends if you have a fibr optic connection in which you would have a hard time stopping at the right moment). Try it on threads that requires a lot of images to load such as signature campaign threads. You'll see that it wasn't a forum-wide bug, but rather a slow connection leading to slow load of website elements.
