2801  Economy / Economics / Re: Own a house or rent one? Quick survey! on: June 17, 2021, 12:40:13 PM
That's a tough one. I'd prefer it if I had a house, you have the freedom to perform any changes you wish, renovate it, build a pool in the backyard and so on, while you are responsible for any damages made (My landlord still hasn't fixed some faulty plumbing where I live).

However, it's an expensive procedure, I mean, 40% of your income will directly go to loan payments for approximately 25 years. My main concern is that a lot can change during these 25 years, on top of the interest, which will add on top of the purchase price. Unless we're talking about purchasing a small apartment, which wouldn't cost a fortune.

It also depends on your age, I wouldn't be interested in buying a house at 25, I'd prefer renting.

I've been looking up for opportunities here on the forum to find some good project that could lead me to financial freedom, sadly signature campaigns aren't one of those. Signature campaigns sufficient enough for us to have a good kind of living thus having some main source could do good for us. This pandemic taught me a lot about earning online by applying in freelancing. It could give good amount of money as well as experience as well.
There used to be more campaigns in the past and if I remember correctly, a few of those were decent paying ones. Unfortunately, many people treated them a source of main income, and some users even resorted to making alt accounts in order to take advantage of them. This, and a variety of other reasons, such as low quality posts, spam etc., have resulted into fewer campaigns and a reduced payment for your posts.

~
My last source of online income is signature campaigns, I've been in one for quite a while and I wish I had more time to post more, but I do not, I'll prefer to not post crap all around the forum just to get my post count up.

I might not make much, provided I had more free time than I would definitely earn more, but I'm satisfied that I have another method of earning some kind of income. How are you making money? Are you a full-time trader, a DeFi investor? Let us know!
you really understand what you want, including the risks you will accept, you also do what you like according to your passion, it's very fun. this is exemplary for all, we also need mental health and a sense of happiness when doing main and side jobs so as not to stress, all of this is not just about money.

Besides daily trading, I also occasionally join signature campaigns. Currently I only focus on fixed campaigns and weekly payments. I also often join testnet.
I consider the signature campaign as a disciplined exercise, because I do it every day with a portion that I divide equally. from this business I can make money, although not as much as I can from trading. the most comfortable thing is to work according to hobbies and we make money in it

However, I do agree, with both of you, it's a potential side income, which is handy, and an exercise/activity from which I can actually learn and develop knowledge.

I highly doubt that they sold more cars than you could count on the fingers of one hand. It's pretty doubtful that Elon Musk was genuinely interested in receiving Bitcoin as a payment method, to me, it just looked like he simply wanted publicity and was also one of his ways to manipulate the market, suspecting that such incident would potentially spike prices.

2805  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Man lost £20,000 in one night after becoming addicted to online gambling! on: June 14, 2021, 01:51:11 PM
To me it's not a big things in gamble. £20,000 is about less than 1 BTC right now. So I think the many big gamblers deposit more than this amount to do gamble.

For why the words if very familiar in gambling that, only do gamble what you actually afford to lose. To protect money from addiction in gamble , people should not deposit big amount. Because the more big amount the more big pressure create when come a big hand lose, And one time bet all in and lose all fund.


Define "Big gamblers" here. I don't think there are many people who go nuts and bet such amounts, it's pure stupidity and those gamblers you are referring to, aren't that dumb to do that. I hope you're not implying that 20 grand isn't a huge sum of money, just because it's less than one BTC.

That guy was a pure fool, he gambled just because he wasn't feeling mentally okay, I understand that, I've been there, but it's just foolish to let your weaknesses into online gambling.

Spreadsheet for round 129 has been turned in to lightlord for payment. All outstanding payment to be processed shortly, sorry for the delay.

Available spots. Tier E
All ranks excluding member.
Minimum 5 earned merits in the last 120 days
Reviews in 24hrs reapply

Users on my Blacklist (BrainLess List), don't bother applying.

Note: My DM is always open to any inquiries, complains, observations etc.

Regards,
Brainboss


I think my guess of Lightlord delaying payments in order to pay for round 129 was possibly accurate. Thanks for the update! Looking forward to receiving our payments!

If Lightlord pays us today he will save a lot of money in transaction fees. Even 1 sat/byte transactions are being confirmed fast. The mempool is empty. I guess he doesn't care much about the fees, though.
But the thing is we are in the last Minutes of week 129 meaning any moment from now Brainboss will make the count and i assume that Lightlord will Add this week to the payment as he will not having a balance for another week.
though That's a great news because of fast transactions this very moment .
My other guess would be that he might be waiting for this week's posts to be counted, in order to avoid fees etc., and to pay this week too, since we were already in the middle of it, when the post was created.

Like you,  I am also into a signature campaign and I hodling all the coins I've earned from my signature campaign, honestly, you cannot live in a signature campaign alone you still have to find a decent job, I have an 8 to 5 work and I just skipped my work to post I', also investing in the top coin in the market, quite disappointing because the coins you are holding are not gaining you profit while the coins you've let go has just been pumped and that is Doge.
I try not to spend my signature earnings, because holding is what secured me the funds I have right now. I used to have approximately $600 in BTC, my wallet exploded shortly after December, now I have 6x times that money due to holding, which is lifesaving to say the least.

Try not to spend any earnings you get, apart from gambling a few bits here and there, I keep most of my earnings on a separate wallet.

Honestly it is not "that" difficult to gain those skills because they are out there, the education is usually free, if you want to really make a profit you can learn design, coding, writing and many other stuff for free online and all you need to do is just spend time on them and work hard. I know it sounds like it is simple, I know it is not and we all know it is not, especially after a certain age it becomes very difficult, but if you can just spend 2 hours every day for 1 year you could basically move your entire life to home, that is just a price well worth it.

I personally did it for one of my skills and thankfully I am doing fine right now, and I can probably do better in the future as well. I just personally have a good path, but that doesn't mean you have to take same path, as long as you reach your destination.

Finding another source of income by doing in such online job is some sort of easy especially in a cryptocurrency related online job like trading, signature campaigns, bounty or you may also apply for a community manager especially in a new established project but what it only takes you to enter those kind of work related is your skill. Of course you were going to trade your skills to be able to get a load of work so it's a must that you should make yourself skillful to what might be your target area you were going to work with. Currently I love doing signature campaigns and bounty campaigns and start to educate myself coz I'm planning to learn how to become a community manager.
Trading isn't that easy, it requires a basic capital to get going while it involves quite a lot of risk. Signature campaigns also require a lot of effort, in order to get accepted in one and make constructive posts. I don't think there's an easy way to make, either, if it's with cryptocurrency or not.
2810  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Elon Musk Tweeting Power gone on: June 12, 2021, 09:02:15 PM
You said well because Elon musk doing some volatile tweets and that's why crypto currencies are pumping and dumping hard.
I think we should avoid elon must to follow.Because he isn't a suitable crypto influencer.
Again we should follow great Crypto influencers who posts something great for crypto users.
You can check here some great influencers on twitter to follow-
https://articles.whalesheaven.com/5-crypto-influencers-you-need-to-follow-on-twitter/


What's the point of suggesting some other "influencers"? At least, Elon Musk is a successful businessman, with plenty of innovations. He did manipulate the market for his own good, but that doesn't change anything. I'd rather follow him rather than an 18-year-old girl, I'm not bashing at her, but I'm taking the hat off Elon Musk, for trolling the entire crypto community, while earning millions in profit.

Skills is one of the essentials in order to earn online, it could be a lot of things, as long as it's providing value.

In my case, I offer digital design for brands or marketing, I suggest you guys to invest in learning as well, it gives you value.
If I have spark of interest in trading, I will surely try to learn it.
I'm also supporting what you've mentioned, I've also considered mastering e-commerce, website building, HTML skills and so on, but I'm unsure on where and how to start.

I pretty much know the basics regarding website building, I've created an HTML/CSS site and an eShop with WordPress, as a part of an academic project.

I'm having trouble maintaining focus throughout these courses. I've started a few through Edx in the past, but would not continue after a while. Sometimes I'm fully motivated for new knowledge but when it comes to practice, it's like I'm missing the willpower to do so. Might also be because I'm still not sure about what I like most, haven't thought where I could see myself in a few years nor in where I could be an expert in.
2812  Economy / Services / Re: 1xbit.com is SCAM! on: June 12, 2021, 06:04:44 PM
They scam people and don't resolve issues that come up, and then they rush here to advertise and create an impression that all is well yet nothing is OK!

Why would you want to advertise a site that has scammed so many people?

Here are some scam accusations I got about 1xbit. Just because you haven't been scammed doesn't mean you should advertise a site to continue scamming others.

01. 1xbit/1xbet scam
02. 1xbit blocked me, a chance to get the deposite back
03. 1XBIT - 59 ETH MISSINGS - ALL BETS CANCELLED - ACCOUNT BLOCKED
04. 1xbet / 1xbit
05. 1xbit blackjack error
06. Scammed by 1xBit over 130BTC , causing my sister her life
07. Was anyone scammed by 1XBiT/1XBET
08. 1XBIT CANCELS LIVE WAGERS
09. 1xbit stealing money
10. 1xbit Scam? Please tell me help me
11. 1xbit stole my winnings almost 1 year ago
12. 1xbit account locked after tried to withdraw about 4 BTC
13. 1xbit closed my account and stole 1.2+ BTC
14. 1xbit scam
15. 1xbit closed my account and took my deposit and all my winnings
16. 1xbit turned my account off after I won a lot on e-sport matches
17. someone can help with 1xbit locked account
18. 1xbit scam!! merge cases
19. 1xbit took my deposit/winnings and closed my account

People who advertise scam are no different from the scammers themselves.


Seeing all these people still applying or even thanking them for receiving their weekly payment is frustrating to say the least. Not only are they promoting a scam site, but also sacrificing their accounts for a few bucks. Chances are, they won't ever be accepted in any other signature campaign.

I also read something like that, the bunker is in the mountain in Switzerland. I don't know if that's true.

I was watching a documentary on national TV and the journalist team entered that bunker after a few months of waiting - security measures are really at a high level - it seems to such an extent that even legitimate users cannot get their funds.


That's exactly the same message I received, fortunately, after tracking my transactions from other wallets etc, I found out that most of my money had been moved to BitGo, which was inactive for more than 2 years, my balance was intact.

Can you explain how your funds from Xapo were transferred to BitGo? While it really seems weird to me, maybe other users might try to get their coins in a similar way.
I might have not expressed what I meant to say correctly. I remember having some BTC on Xapo, acquired many years ago from faucets. What I didn't remember though, was that I had transferred most of my funds before this whole incident happened. Most was fortunately transferred, I suspect that approximately one mBTC was left in Xapo, which is a lost cause now.
2814  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: The Electric Heater that earns you money on: June 11, 2021, 08:16:45 PM
Nice concept! Wanted to know is there an option to run it without heat ie summer times? If not there would be alot of down times harder to get ROI.
Mining generates heat, so not wanting heat is always down time.
Now you've reminded me of my only hands-on experience I had with mining. It was at least 2-3 years ago, 2017 if I am not mistaken, where Altcoin mining was really popular. I was using my standard PC, which was then upgraded with two GPUs for the sake of mining, the software being used was Nicehash.

The profit back then was pretty decent, I was mining from early August or September till the winter months, February if I remember correctly. The heat it was generating during winter could potentially act as a small heater for sure. As you can imagine, having a desktop PC, running 24/7, with overclocked GPUs, it generated quite a lot of heat.
The amount of heat that your computer generates depends on the graphics cards that are installed in it. If you have 2 video cards GTX 1060, then the heat will not be too noticeable.
If you have 2 video cards GTX 1080 Ti, then this is a potential heater for half a kilowatt.
This is not enough to heat the room, but it is enough to warm your feet in winter.
Yeah totally, I'm not implying that my build was enough to generate heat, but it was enough to notice if you were sitting on the desk right next to it. It's fascinating though that Antminers have such mining capabilities, that it's enough to generate enough heat for a small room.
2815  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Xapo Wallet on: June 11, 2021, 07:35:00 PM
Hello,
I used to have a wallet on Xapo, it's since 2014 when faucets were popular back then. I managed to recover my account after a quite tiring process, due to their lack of support mostly. After logging in successfully, I was asked for verification, provided my driver's license, a photo of myself and a bank statement from Revolut (It was the only one I had in handy).

After a while, my account was blocked and this is what I received, "Unfortunately, due to compliance or regulatory reasons, we can no longer provide you with our services.". That's it, I cannot even login to my account, which has a balance of a few mBTC. Just like that, I am blocked and haven't even been told why.

What can I do now? Probably nothing I guess.

The same thing happened to me, I remember there was a balance of 0.012 btc and about 1.35 BCH and it was not active for more than 2 years, when I installed Xapo wallet and login they was blocked my account, after send an email and they answer make me disappointed.

Unfortunately, due to compliance or regulatory reasons, we can no longer provide you with our services.

We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause. We appreciate your time with us and we wish you all the best.

Sincerely,
The Xapo Compliance Team
That's exactly the same message I received, fortunately, after tracking my transactions from other wallets etc, I found out that most of my money had been moved to BitGo, which was inactive for more than 2 years, my balance was intact.
It is quite justified for someone to deny the provision of their services at a certain moment, this usually happens because companies have to adapt to the new legislation and have no choice. What is completely unjustified is the retention of clients ’funds, and if you ask me it is completely illegal and has no legal basis.

As far as I can see people are complaining about their actions everywhere because they have literally lost everything they had in their accounts - which is again a big warning to anyone who has ever wanted to use any custodial service - after all it means you can lose everything you have if you are not your own crypto bank.
I completely agree, I stopped using online wallets ever since. The BitGo one at least provided me with a PDF which included the private keys.
2816  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: YOUR FAVORITE GAMBLING? on: June 09, 2021, 08:48:42 PM
I'm not familiar with sport betting, like most of you have already mentioned, because I was never interested in sports whatsoever. Thus, I prefer simpler options, which are solely based on luck. I started gambling on Bustabit's crash game, I find that game highly addictive, interesting and nerve racking at the same time. I've stopped playing there because I lost my whole deposit, and went on another website with more options, which also has the same Crash game.

Despite losing my money there, it's a love/hate relationship I wouldn't change. It's probably one of the most interesting games I've played.
2817  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers - How do you use your signature campaign earnings? on: June 09, 2021, 03:46:06 PM
There is no hard and fast way on how i spent my signature campaign earnings. These days ,since i get my signature payments together after few weeks, it give me opportunity to buy something useful for my family. Previously when i used to get payment weekly, i used to spend it online on gambling or on other stuff.
I used to be like this before the pandemic happens. Most of my earnings from the signature campaign are spend mostly on Gambling. I sometimes won, but all my balance got back to 0 after just a few days. I don't know, but I think I'm the worst gambler. Now every time I got my payment. I just saved it to buy the necessary foods for myself and share them with my family.
A lot of people turned to online gambling during the pandemic, you're not alone. I wouldn't look down on myself if I were you, such things happen due to the nature of gambling, it's only luck. It's best to save most of your campaign earnings, since you already had an unpleasant experience. Moreover, making posts may require quite some time to reach a decent amount of posts.

Thus, you could try gambling micro amounts, earned from your signature campaign, or taking a break for a while.

It's best to save your money instead if you already experienced bad things like that

The problem is that if you save all your money it is likely that you will end up feeling bad about it. Saving too much may respond to having lived bad situations or even a poor infancy with lack of means and it may make some people feel sure about their future, however if it is too much it also will make them feel poor. Personally, I tend to save too much, so I have to loose the grip a bit from time to time and do something fun. I try to keep on the 10% of my income for fun and things I really do not need.
I don't fully understand what you've said, I don't get how someone might end up feeling bad if he saves all his money. My guess would be if you are referring when someone is a cheapskate, and not spending a single dime, am I right? I like saving money, regardless its source, because I like feeling of being safe, secure and on top of that, having purchasing power.

I don't want to be anxious of having enough money to spend the month, or if something unexpected happens.
