Great! At least now, we can be sure that there will be no American FBI seizure of the Bitfinex servers. BTC-e also should have done this, but they were very complacent and thought that the FBI would never catch them. Remember the seizure of Alphabay? When they were only catering to the users from the former USSR, they didn't had any issues. But when they started accepting customers from the United States, the site was seized by the FBI.
It's still very appalling that the US can just shut down any service even though it's not even located in the US. Reminds me of their actions against Megaupload. What actually happened with the coins people had on BTC-E? I mean, a lot of people had coins on there that they had legally acquired, so the US just gets to keep everything? Are there other exchanges we need to worry about? |

Weird thing to say, I've never even heard about invite-only casino's except maybe for really special kinds of custom betting targeted at really wealthy individuals.
There are enough honest casinos to choose from, if you find one that's been in business for a couple of years there's a good chance that they're actually legit, you know.

Okay, I was impulsive Deposited 0.1 BTCBut didn't go with 0.06, I was going with the same 0.000001 and Martingale until I win 0.03 Seemed okay, +30% which would be a 1.3 bet after losing 16 bets in a row But Lost 17 bets again o.o http://prntscr.com/gyydspAm I really that unlucky  Should of cut losses right away  Still have the bonus, I'll report back, but doing x40 won't happen lol I think you made the right choice there by not playing any more after that last loss. If I were in such a situation, I'd also be tempted to deposit more at first perhaps, but I would ultimately decide to quit playing for a couple of days at least. Nothing worse than continuing to play when you're on a losing streak. |

He's a former chairman of the Fed, seems pretty obvious that he doesn't believe in something that's actively competing against fiat currency.
Besides that, it's more of the usual stuff, against Bitcoin but talks very positively about blockchain technology.
Also notice how he's very much in favor of Ripple...

My strategy is to hold, it is less stressful in my opinion.
Day trading can earn good profits but it is time consuming. I have a day job and can’t be on the trading screen watching the whole day, doing research and analysing the market.
Yeah same here, I just don't have the time to learn about it and actually do it every day and the possibility of making losses due to bad trades makes me think that it isn't really for me anyway. Also, I'm not too keen on keeping large amounts on exchanges, doesn't seem like a good idea, but for day trading it's a must. |

I think that in this case a subscription model would be a lot better than issuing tokens to exchange for time.
It's definitely not guaranteed that an ICO would bring you that much more popularity, I mean your tool is also probably meant for a niche market.
You'll just disappear amongst all the other ICOs that are already out there.
You would also need to advertise your ICO to get enough funding, wouldn't it be better to spend that money on advertising your subscription based service?

I've definitely earned a lot mora than 1 Bitcoin through my signature campaign and I've been in the same one for years now.
Don't know how much I've earned in total over the years, but I reckon it would be more than 5 BTC for sure.
Been a member at times when Bitcoin was trading under 1000 dollars, so you got a lot more back then.

It seems like there are only 4 coins supported when you click on 'Add local wallet' in the dashboard?
The website looks really good and I'm interested in seeing how the statistics look once I can add my altcoins.
There's no option to add Dash or Factom for example?

Anyway, especially if you're just a player, it's always better that you just keep those coins in a wallet of which you control the private key, right before a fork I mean and just do it yourself.
It also saves CG from some work, they have to send out those coins manually, at least they did with the previous fork.
Both 2x and Gold currently lack replay protection, which is a mess to handle for everyone, regardless if you only have to manage your own wallets, or those of 400 active users. Oh yeah, I did read your previous posts  I meant that if replay protection was in place, it's generally better/safer to rely on yourself to handle the fork. CG doesn't have to give you those forked coins, if they decide it's not worth all the trouble, they're entitled to keep them. I'm pretty sure there have been a few exchanges and online wallets that have just kept the latest forked coins (BCH) |

Hey aren't you forgetting YouTube channels there? There are some very good channels that provide a good source of information. I can contribute with some, if you want to list them as well. As for Research sites, I mainly use the ones you already have there, but sometimes I also use this one: http://news.8btc.com/I've already mentioned this, but I think my post got overlooked. And yeah 8btc is a pretty good source for news from China indeed. Their website loads pretty slow for me however. I know you're making list of websites, but it might also be a good idea to also add certain high quality Youtube channels. There are a ton of really crappy ones, but there are also some really useful ones that people like to watch instead of visiting a news website. The Cryptoverse is definitely one of my favorite Youtube channels: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLnQ34ZBSjy2JQjeRudFEDwAnyway, it's just a suggestion, since all websites that I would have mentioned are already listed  |

will the site be crediting bitcoin gold or segwit2x coins to btc balances?
Taking all these things together, there's still a lot of if's, when's and maybe's. Some of those might change heavily and rapidly in the next days (at least this is my assessment).
I wouldn't expect an official announcement from CG before all important aspects are fully cleared.
This includes a firm forking date (block or timestamp), a binding statement about any premine, as well as working replay protection.
As long as these things aren't checked out, the decision about if and how CG proceeds regarding BTCGPU might still change.
I'd expect them to handle the fork similar to Bitcoin Cash, and proceed with distributions, as long as the circumstances allow it and a distribution seems reasonable.
This. Until there's so many if's we can't say anything for sure. Keep in mind we distributed Ethereum Classic and Bitcoin Cash to our investors in the past. If everything will be cleared, we'll do the same to following forks. Haha, good luck with that, at this rate, you'll be distributing these 'airdrops' every couple of months Anyway, especially if you're just a player, it's always better that you just keep those coins in a wallet of which you control the private key, right before a fork I mean and just do it yourself. It also saves CG from some work, they have to send out those coins manually, at least they did with the previous fork. For investors, it's handy that CG provides this service for you, just so you don't have to remove your investment. |

Very interesting, it would be cool if we could see some actual statistics on sales numbers instead of one testimony of an Amazon employee + a spot in the best sellers list on Amazon.
I do wonder if it's people who are new to Bitcoin who're buying those hardware wallets or if it's people who've known about Bitcoin, but are just switching over to hardware wallets instead of software wallets.
Can't imagine that newbies buy a hardware wallet straight away, but I could be wrong.
Any thoughts about this?

As far as I know there are no such thing as taxing when it comes to all cryptocurrencies as a whole and I don't believe that its possible to tax them unless you government has legalized all cryptocurrency exchange sites and wallets which will be pretty hard to accomplish thanks to the blockchain.
You're completely wrong on that, it depends on where you live, but most countries do have some sort of law that requires you to declare your income from cryptocurrency and pay taxes on it. It won't mention crypro-currency in the tax law, but they usually lump crypto earnings together with something else. |

I'm holding quite a few Gridcoin at a loss currently, it isn't that bad, but I'm just going to wait a bit till they get a bit higher again.
The altcoin market in general is looking a lot less attractive than the Bitcoin market at the moment.
I'm probably going to sell most of my altcoins before the fork happens anyway.

Thanks for the useful information.
I would like to add up something.
The fact that the casino site allows you to view the source code doesn't mean that they are using it as the code for their casino game.
You should always view page source and make sure that it fits the code that they show you, sometimes they show one code and use another.
Don't fall for non-random generators.
Well, the problem does not really lays with the checking of the code and comparing them with what they actually use. The problem is that 99% of the people that play on gambling sites do not care or do not know how to do it. The thing is it is extremely difficult anyway to determine if the site is using some cheat to win, after all if they were cheating they would hide it pretty good. It's not that difficult to check if the website is using cheats to win and all bigger websites have already had their provably fair mechanism checked. If they show their statistics, the house edge should also reflect on those, at least in the long term. I'd also say that there are more people in the crypto community that care about those things than you would think. |

How many copies to you keep? I personally keep two copies of my private keys. Do you keep it on multiple mediums (paper, usb, cryptosteel, cdrom, etc)? Yes, for larger amounts, I have a few paper wallets which are laminated an a copy on usb drive made on a pc that was never connected to the internet. Do you keep the full seed/key on each medium or split it (e.g. 1/2 on one paper, 1/2 on other paper)? Full seed on each medium, I think this is enough for ;y personal needs, we're not talking about that many coins. If the seed/key is encrypted (e.g. veracrypt or keepass), is it safe to store on cloud storage? I definitely would never store anything important on cloud storage. Where are the best places to keep copies (cloud, buried in yard, home safe, bank safe deposit box, parent's house)? You need to figure this one out for yourself, but I like to keep it in a place I have easy access to. |

I think trading has a way bigger gambling element than traditional gambling mate  Plus you could double your money within minutes unlike trading where you need to be glued to your monitor watching all the graphs and news and shit. Too much work for too little gain. I strongly disagree with this, because this is not true at all, you could not double your money in gambling, it is easy to say but so hard to be done. I could assure myself that I could get something in return in Trading even it takes months, at least it is worth the wait, unlike in gambling that you would only win in the first try, to the second, but after that, you are just going to lose all of your money and will be addicted to this. Lol, it's pretty easy to double your money with gambling, just do a 50% chance dice bet and you'll double your money almost 1 out of 2 times :p People wouldn't be gambling if it were that hard and long term you would very likely lose. |
