Seeing an office doesn't make a business legit. As far as I know they're no financial institution, if they were, much stricter rules would apply to them.

You're double-counting. If I give you 1, you give 1 away, and I take back my 1, you're down 1, not 2.

Spam to your friends is still spam.

Tropik and Bobrdobr are the same person.

Proof: They use the same IP on their accounts on rollin.io. Confirmed by Admin and me (Mod Loyce) in Rollin Chatter Box. For privacy reasons I can't provide a screenshot of the IP though.

This user got paid his 5 mBTC prize.

This user did not get paid the 5 mBTC prize for cheating with a second account in the same contest.
This is a violation of the Contest Rules:

This happened right after I announced Open Season on cheaters.

Don't forget this can also mean Bitcoin gets forgetten again. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this will happen, nor do I see any reason why it should happen, but it can happen anyway.
What do you think is more likely to still be valuable in 50 (or 500 for that matter!) years? Gold or Bitcoin? I bet gold is more likely to stlll be around.
But if Bitcoin is still around in 50/500 years, I bet 1 dollar in bitcoins now is worth a lot more by then than 1 dollar in gold now.

Does anything change if you increase swap-size? Memory leaks may be swapped away.
Alternative: take 2 GB ram and run oclvanitygen a few hours, then restart it. Repeat that and see if it crashes again.

Here it uses full CPU while mining on Nvidia. I assume it needs CPU to deal with the keys it finds or something. So the videocard just produces millions of keys per second, the CPU checks if they are the right keys. But I'm just guessing here

Edit: after reading shorena (see below) I am curious now what the CPU is doing

Dear users
I like rollin
I like contests
But there's another thing I like: busting cheaters! The hunt is now OPEN!

Unfortunately, that means from now on prizes are subject to a delay, so we can investigate instead of paying to cheaters in the future. This keeps contests open for honest players. Too bad it had to go this way.
To all cheaters: red trust will find you.



All honest users: enjoy the games

If it seems to good to be true, it probably is.
0.5% chance for 1 bitcoin means 5 mBTC on average per claim, that is 500,000 satoshi. Most faucets pay around 500 satoshi (or anything around that amount), which means 500 sat is the amount that is affordable for the site.
If a site offers 1000 times more, or US$ 2.21 per claim, you can safely assume their advertising doesn't pay that much.

(It is of course possible to get a lot of money for each advertisement, if they are very targeted, for instance a car-website linking to car dealers with visitors who actually buy cars after visiting the site. Faucet-visitors don't care about the advertisements and aren't worth much for advertising agencies.)

Why would you choose to accept a 5% chance of losing your coins? The moment money and being anonymous get together, there will be people trying to scam you.

There is another possibility: an Orphaned block can happen:
I don't know how often this happens though.

That depends on where you live. Here a 10 year deposit gives at most 2% interest, and that is at a totally unknown foreign bank. The first big local bank gives 1.2% only for 10 years, which happens to be exactly the same percentage as you pay on tax on savings. So your money doesn't grow at all, and inflation (caused by the massive quantitative easing) eats through it. In 10 years you can easily lose 20 to 40% of its value.

I noticed this too. The spreadsheet is sorted with the largest profit first, while the OP says this:

Both make sense, but they shouldn't contradict each other.

If the halving does not happen, that means more than 21 million bitcoins will be mined. It would also break the fundamentals of Bitcoin.
It is possible, if all miners agree to just keep mining more coins. But the miners too have an interest in a stable trustworthy coin. If they make fundamental changes like this it is going to be an interesting time to say the least.

Story is: I hit it right when the contest started already (2469137777), but I had the requirements for R9 in mind, not R13. Now I got it anyway

I even made a profit hunting it for 2 minutes

With luck, every strategy works
The house edge is always around, but it is important to note that is is an average only. You can win or lose with or without the house edge, the only thing the house edge does is make your winnings a bit lower.

I can recommend doing the math on some bets manually (or in a spreadsheet), it gives a clear understanding of how it works. Just try to reproduce the winnings the casino gives you in a spreadsheet.

So you're arguing halving the block reward will lead to an increased supply of bitcoin? That could actually explain why the price went up a months after the last halving: the reward stays lower, and the increased supply of people who are holding now and selling after the halving dries up after a while.

This is complete nonsense! Not only is it so unlikely it will simply not happen, on top of that every bitcoin address uses a private key. So if you're afraid your paper wallet's private key will get "guessed", there is no safe place without a private key to store them.

I disagree. Not many users understand Bitcoin. The change addresses alone are confusing!
But you don't need to understand it to use it, as long as you use a simple wallet it just works, just like you don't have to understand cars to or computers use them. And just like cars and computers, every user can do stupid things with bitcoin too.

I read more and more about politicians wanting to get rid of cash money, aka coins and paper bank notes, in favour of banking only. They want absolute control, which they can't have with cash.
With bitcoin they can't have absolute control, they'll try whatever they can to keep it small. But so far bitcoin is still unimportant on the scale of the global economy.

Why would this happen? The price has been above 400 for a long time, it's going up now, what makes you think it will lose 10% in the coming days?

I'm still amazed by the impact on the price after the core developer left a few months ago. That makes me think the price can also go up a lot the moment the miners agree on creating bigger blocks. That would be the opposite of the effect of a developer leaving and increase the confidence in bitcoin.
I get that miners like small blocks, as it means less data and higher fees. But if larger blocks lead to more confidence and thus a higher bitcoin price, it could be very beneficial for them to increase block size.

Let me quote myself and edit it a bit to current affairs:
I do love their MegaSplit playground and am still hooked to playing this. Can you add this? Split into 256 balls, merge tiny balls in a fraction of a second, 30 seconds for big balls? It gives a completely different game play, it's much faster and much more fun.
Teaming is still possible, but only if you're big. Waiting 30 seconds is too long, but if you're smaller splitting up a few times makes you small enough to almost instantly merge again. It is very addictive

Why? Most bitcoin users own only a very small amount of bitcoin, more small users won't change the price much.
If investment funds start buying bitcoin it could go up a lot with only a few more users. Investment/pension funds is where the money is, and you need big buyers to make the price go up that fast.
I doubt this well happen anytime soon though. Besides, you don't need a fund to buy bitcoin, you can do that without the middleman.
