I don't really mind that websites do this, just because I'm not really affected because I'm using NoScript.
It could actually become a better revenue-model than advertising, if it's done with the users' consent though.
I personally wouldn't really mind lending my processing power for mining if it's only active when I'm on their website and if they ask for permission first.

One thing that is for certain is segshit has not fixed the transactions problem.
All one has to do is look at the unconfirmed transactions to know that.
So if you use segcrap 1X , then paid extremely high fees like $20 to get your transaction thru or wait 2 weeks and hope the volume drops.
or
if you are smart use Bitcoin Cash or Litecoin and bypass core devs incompetence completely.

At least get your facts straight, you won't be paying 20 dollars for a regular transaction with just a few inputs. The only way you're going to pay 20 dollars is if you're sending a transaction with around 20 inputs. For a transaction with 2 inputs, you'll pay around 3 dollars if you want to have it confirmed within 2 blocks or so. Go check it yourself: https://bitcoinfees.21.co/https://estimatefee.com/Fact Segshit coin sucks , and many like you ignore that. 66311 Unconfirmed Transactions Problem is getting worse, which means you have to paid higher fees, $20 guarantees your transaction is included in the very next block. If you pay attention, you would realize this is how core dev designed shitwitcoin to force users offchain into the lightening scam network. Fees will get higher as time goes on , that is it's design. In Time , $20 won't be enough. ╥Aztek Less than 20 dollars will also pretty much guarantee your transaction will be included in the next block, I'm just saying that you're spouting nonsense without even backing up your claims. If you're paying 20 dollars in fees for a transaction, you're just calculating it wrong or relying on wallets/exchanges that are vastly overestimating/charging the amount of fees needed. The way you've written your post(s) just proves that you're spreading FUD. |

When the site is called provably fair but no one can make sure that it is provably enough except they are expert or most people tell their experience for the site.
Provably fair are made by human and there will be a chance for human error so just considering this before make a real deposit
Well, it's true that programmers can make errors while programming a provably fair system, but in reality this would get discovered pretty fast. It's really not that hard to check if the provably fair system is working correctly and people should stop perpetuating that ' it's too hard to check this yourself '. Just pick a casino that has had its provably fair algorithm audited on this forum for example, there are threads for the big gambling sites. |

Don't get me wrong, it's a great idea that some schools are accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment, it definitely helps spread awareness about Bitcoin in general.
But what I would really like to see is more schools offering courses focused on Bitcoin and blockchains.
If we could see crypto-currency related courses from both an economic and a technical point of view, I'd be much more excited.

A lot of you people replying don't seem to realize that this has literally mothing to do with the antivirus software McAfee.
John Mcafee sold his stake in his company years ago and isn't a part of it anymore.
If you check out their website, there's no mention of this having anything to do with the Mcafee antivirus.

Coming from the traditional gambling world, I can't understand why Bitcoin gamblers love this dice gambling so much. It seems odd to me, there is no sweat, there is no waiting for the result, it happens instantly, and is negative expectation.
The sub-industry of dice scripts is also mind boggling. Why would people think these scripts can beat the 1% hold?
What magic is in the betting systems that can overcome negative expectation?
For me, it's sports betting and poker that get me going. Both can swing the edge to the player in the right situations. Both have moments of extreme excitement and unsure results.
I don't think that most players choose dice because they think they'll be able to beat the house edge. It's also just fun to play dice and test out different strategies, not a single strategy will be +EV in the long term, but that doesn't mean that you can't end up with some winnings after a few sessions. Also, the fast nature of these dice games is what attracts people, I would say. |

I'm just going to hold onto it for a while just as I with with the previous fork. It's going to be pretty interesting seeing at how much the price will be settling to, I think it's going to be less than with BCH. Can't really hurt to wait a bit if you're making a profit regardless  |

Thanks everyone for the advice! I had decided to adjust my portfolio for long terms investment, primarily in Blue chips and alts that had potential - established team, well-delivered/realistic roadmap, consistent development as well a more discipline investment schedule, guess the ups and downs of day trading is too much for me to handle while maintaining good performance with my programming job.
Would consider buying some bots to interact/trade with exchange api sometime after a more extensive speculation , the road is still long to success is still long but achievable, good luck everyone!
Yeah for me it's also much more efficient to focus on long term investment plans than to actively trade every day/week. Now I just have to spend one afternoon each month or so researching possible altcoins to invest in and review each investment every couple of months. If you want to look into trade bots, I can recommend either a Haasbot beginner license (0.06 BTC per 3 months) or cryptotrader.org (0.003 BTC per month). |

Yeah I've already been using Bitcoin to buy pretty much everything you can think of since 2013. I've bought many computer parts, smartphones and other consumer electronics with BTC over the years. If you plan on accepting Bitcoin, you should also try and keep part of your revenue in Bitcoin. Overstock is doing the same and they are profiting big time because of that strategy, they are keeping 50% of their Bitcoin payments in Bitcoin.

Generaly I'm using non-leveraged options. Just to reflect the real site profitability.
But e.g. yolodice allows you to make separate investments. So I have also some 5x and 10x lev. (smaller investments). The problem is when somobody wins huge amount (jackpot or w/e) the 10x leverage investment will be gone.
These leverage options are very high risky investments and you should only invest some partial amount on these kinds of high-risk investments. Many traders lost everything due to these high leverage options and it is same in casino investments also. So far I didn't do any leverage bankroll investments but invested in few casino bankrolls without any leverage options. Yeah i think your suggestion was also pretty risky to begin with, but if you want then you can try it anyways, but as far as what i ak concerned and as he said it was too high risk on that option on leverage, the tendency is that you might actually lose everything rather than win some of it. Just saying it anyway. If you undertake a game of chance, then you will already have to decide on that. Well, you will take risks or not. Gambling is always a risk and if you bet so specifically. But it's not entirely about gambling here, it's about investing in a gambling site that offers a leveraged investment, which is very risky IMO. I'd rather invest in a casino with a smaller site balance in a certain altcoin, it's still possible to get some really decent returns on a relatively small investment that way. On Crypto-Games for example, you can invest in Gridcoin or Peercoin and get a nice profit once there's a lot of gambling activity on those coins. |

My feeling is that we want a currency that offers privacy to some extent, without revealing our transaction to the world but still be possible for law-enforcement to track illegal activities.
What do you think?
It all depends how you define illegal activity and/or who defines illegal activity. Well respected studies have shown that use of bitcoin for money laundering (high on the list of mainstream media) is actually extremely low, as there are much easier ways of laundering large sums of money (eg open an HSBC account?). The same goes for the purchase of drugs and arms. More interesting is what governments define as illegal activity when it comes to legislation. Some examples: - People living in UK bought bitcoins when they were a few pounds and today sell them for a few thousand, will have made a capital gain. Any gains over £11300 in any one year will be taxable. - People living in China who want to get round exchange controls and move their wealth out of the country might use bitcoin to do so. - Residents of Zimbabwe or Venezuala might use bitcoin to protect themselves against hyperinflation. In many ways, it's a similar debate about strong encryption. I tend to a libertarian view and would want maximum privacy. I don't think that the need for strong encryption and privacy on the blockchain (kind of a silly notion) are really similar debates. There are so many more essential structures that depend on strong encryption than on the need for privacy. Privacy on the blockchain is already pretty limited and one could wonder if it is 100% possible to use Bitcoin anonymously, even if you make use of Tor, mixers etc. If you want a digital currency that offers privacy, isn't it better to just look at Monero or Zcash for example? |

Well, you've invested too much into one coin that didn't have a track record and you lost.
You really need to diversify your investment and pick out multiple coins after careful research, don't just pick any random coin or ICO.
How long has Sia been around for? Just a couple of years, with the only significant activity on the market starting in 2016.
You simply bought too late, if you lost that much you bought at the top of its price.

I have a question about referrals that I couldn't find an answer to in the FAQ on the website. Are referrals added to the list once they visit Crypto-Games or do they have to make an account? Was just wondering since I've seen my numbers go up, but not my earnings  I might have asked Lutpin this in chat a couple of months ago, but I don't remember what it was or if anything has changed. |

I used to get almost all my information from the Bitcoin wiki @ https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Main_PageThey're still pretty good, but some sections are pretty outdated, it is good for learning about some technical concepts though. Also, you can find a lot of information on Youtube, might be easier to understand for some people. I follow a channel called 'The Cryptverse', it's pretty good for information about certain coins and ICO's. |

Are you planning on offering a similar service, but for certain popular altcoins?
Certainly possible. What coins would be first on your list? Personally, I'd like to see some of the more traditional altcoins added, such as Litecoin, Monero & Dash for example. I'm not really into tokens or Ethereum, so I wouldn't really mind if those got added, though other people might think otherwise. Something like Litecoin would also be easiest to add, I think. It's pretty similar to Bitcoin |

Wow people saying a Hero account can go for 1 BTC, how long does it take to become one? And is it worth selling kowing you could use signatures to get a steady stream of income. Or has the income reduced as there are more and more offers of less than valuable altcoins?
A hero account really isn't worth 1 BTC, how did you get that number? Do you have a source? I can't imagine that this price estimator would give you an estimate of 1 BTC for a hero account. Plus it isn't really worth selling your account anyway, you earn more by just participating in a signature campaign in the long run and you're basically also enabling scammers. Check prices for accounts here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=93.0Btw, my own legendary account is 'only' valued at 0.20664000 BTC by this tool. |

Is there anyone here that is making money full time in the cryptospace? If so, can you help guide with below questions?
> What is the minimum investment a newbie needs?
> How do you select an investment?
> Do you HODL or day-trade?
> If you day-trade - how do you pick a coin that is day-trade worthy?
Thank you in advance for your time and help!
Not yet, but I will be getting all of my income exclusively out of working with crypto in the near future. I have a job offer waiting with a start-up that will bring a form of crypto-currency to certain countries in Africa. Apart from that I do earn a little bit from investments in Bitcoin and some altcoins, but it wouldn't be enough to live on. Also signature earnings, but that's barely enough for anyone to live on  |

Belfort called Bitcoin a fraud and said that “the biggest problem I see from Bitcoin, and why I would never buy it, is because they can easily steal it from you through hacking. I know people who lost all their money like that.”
Seriously? Easily steal by hacking? how about banks? they also can be hacked through credit cards which often happens today. Jordan Belfort is making a statement about Bitcoin without fully understanding what it is all about, does he know anything about blockchain technology? and why people should listen to this man who have been in prison because of manipulating the stock market, running a penny stock scam and money laundering. The thing is that if your credit card gets hacked, it's usually no problem for the credit card company to reverse the payments. With Bitcoin, it's just impossible and you're relying on the efforts of law enforcement to get your coins back (never happens). I can see why people who have a poor understanding of technology consider Bitcoin to be unsafe. For them it probably is. |
