This should apply to sports-bettings that cannot change/control the outcome of matches/games bettors are betting on.
I think the provable fair we normally refer to is the feature found on betting sites to make the bets fair/fraud-proof.

This would make sense if your team is benefitting from the bets. Donating the money to the team instead of betting would be a better way to show your support. I think betting should simply be seen as predicting/guessing the right answer or likely outcome in competition/game with money or valuable.  And I think it should be done correctly.

Would you then call forex, stock,  precious metals trading, etc gambling? The traders clearly risk money to bet on price of currencies and commodities.
If those are gambling, then lot of other things I didn't mention here could easily be classified as gambling.
I hope you are not basing you definition/meaning on online dictionary definitions. They certainly can be proven wrong

Sounds interesting. 
I have couple of trading stimulators or demo sites bookmarked, but I don't know if there is any that does this:
I think adding token-like incentive could even encourage people to work harder to learn, understand, pass a test and get rewarded. I have always fancied rewarding people to spend time to learn and understand something well.

Interesting.
Digital fiat currencies aren't that transparent. I don't know of anyway to prove that apart from trusting those who control them "privately" to prove it. The case is different with Bitcoin... it's public and transparent, and lots of activities/transactions on its network can be seen and possibly tracked by anyone.

In regard to mixing stolen money by mixing services, I wonder if any of them have been caught deliberately mixing stolen bitcoins. That will be very immoral.

I guess part of the reason some allow things this way is to prevent tyrants from censoring good contents. But I think there is nothing wrong in preventing/censoring bad contents from spreading. It would be quite risky to share a society with many people who have unrestricted access to bad/evil contents. I think bad content should remain with their creators/owners and not spread to many people

I don't really have problems with ads, as long as they are not bad ads people and I don't want to see.

I don't know much about what is going on there, but from the little I know, it seems they are trying to create a suitable governance system that wouldn't affect their agenda and probably the quality of decisions they make. Unfortunately, they are trying to do this by creating an elitist type of setting instead of true consensus/governance that doesn't exclude any stakeholders from full participation in network consensus and governance. Deliberately making governance for all stake holder hard to participate in doesn't sound decentralized to me.

Ofcourse.
The inappropriate ads and contents usually manage to sneak through no matter hard you prevent them.
I think inappropriate things could be reduced to a safe level if the internet is restructured in a way to allow users have a say in the kind of things/products/services they use or things they are fed with. Companies that provide services on the internet really need to be transparent, open-source, accountable, decentralized, consensus-driven, guided by rules etc. Lots of the evil pass through because people are kept in the dark.

Well, the stadiums(open ones esp) and fields seem to be some of the few places I have heard about where "customers" aren't allowed to come in even with the social distancing and other safety measures obeyed. I think safety rules should be followed and the safety measure of policy makers shouldn't be inconsistent and unnecessarily extreme. This is to avoid putting people who are following the extreme measures that are not necessary in serious danger. Qualify people should make the rules and we should be guided by them or stick to them.
The pandemic rules seem not be consistent unfortunately. They give this rule and do something else.

Having money involved doesn't make it gambling. If I stake other valuable things aside money (like a banana, apple, meat, etc) to prove my skills/reputation or how good and trusted I'm in my predictions and I lose it for not being correct, is that still gambling?

I think it's important for bettors to bet honestly or bet based on truth/fact and not emotionally. Betting against the team you love doesn't me you hate them. It should be for the integrity of the system, for the benefit of people and for the betting/prediction community. If you see reasons to bet against your team, I believe it's better to bet honestly against them, as long as it isn't for selfish reasons. It's more like saying "this team have really good stats, they did their job well, I think they will win".. I would bet this way unless I believe miracle could happen or GOD can turn things around in favour of the poorly prepared team

I guess your problem is the volatility? You want something "stable" for quick transactions and for holding Bitcoin short term, right?
Well, bitcoin is designed to increase/decrease in price, depending on demand and supply... If there is more demand for the coin than there is to sell , the price will  increase... If there is less demand for the coin but more supply(or more to sell), the price decreases. It increases more in price than it decreases though.   This is an important feature of Bitcoin that protects users (esp those using it as store of value) from inflation.   It could be made to fluctuate moderately though, for the sake of quick/short-term users and people like you.
Or you could just factor in the fluctuation in price and increase the amount of Bitcoin you wish to buy a little bit... This should compansate for the shortfall in your fund whenever there is decrease in price. If price goes up, you gain

Interesting.
Looks too centralized and heavy though.
I'd prefer some sort of modular platforms with different sizes (from small, medium to large).

In my opinion, a good crypto based project should adhere more to the ideals of Bitcoin as risk/uncertainty increase for safety reasons.

Apart from being deflationary, what else can the token do? Can the project do very useful and unique things for users? Is it safe and decentralized?
These^ are some of the things that make tokens valuable to users and attract exchanges willing to list them for free

One of my major concerns with AI is autonomy. An autonomous AI that lives in an evil world, exposed to evil, learns from its environment, and makes complex decisions  could be hijacked, corrupted, turn evil etc .
If people understood what they are getting themselves into, they would never have an AI without really good/moral rulers ruling over it. Where do you get such rulers?
By the way, AI has to be well built without mistakes

I think it's important to know whether the developers really warned users that the project is in test stage.  The warning would be clearly written on unhidden parts of the platform. And it's important to also know whether the users were warned not to invest big amounts or what they can't afford to lose.
By the way, projects like that should be well tested before they are released to public for serious usage.

Interesting. Sounds risky.

Things could even be changed in new software without users realizing.

I guess the unlimited is mainly  for regular traders on exchanges with the feature. I would probably choose "approve" if I don't trade regularly... or use "unlimited/limited" as regular trader, but with feature to have a limit or minimum amount that can be withdrawn from my wallet at a particular time, and get alerted for anything higher than the minimum or when the limit is crossed. I could then approve it manually. The minimum could be in fiat value due to differences in tokens/coins prices.

Interesting.
I think one of the reasons why cheating will likely be minimal or non-existent in sports betting is because the outcome of games is not dependent on or determined by things controlled or owned by betting sites. If a betting site owns and controls the football players(for example), things could be easily manipluted.

Still not the right age to bet without supervision. If you are interested in prediction/betting market, I would advice that you wait until you become adult and able to control your self and make right decisions.
 I do not recommend ever gambling in betting sites/centers, even as an adult. Your bets should be moderate and responsible

Good thing that you have decided not to gamble.






✳ The "merit" was for the bolded below. Good you changed your mind!

Could be a good idea, as long as the bettors are not gambling. The word gambling is probably what triggered the guilt feeling here: How would you want responsible & skilled people to participate and still call them gamblers?


This is ok if it's about correctly predicting the sharks migration in sustainable/safe manner and to help the animals.
