Going to give this a try. I'm assuming the finance part is a fixed term loan with higher interest rate?



Also more initial capital.  I believe you must put in 10 bitcoins minimum.  But yes higher interest rate, but still the ability to withdraw at any time, you just lose the interest accumulated for the current month.

This is right.  The account is still liquid, you just lose the 12%+ interest if you don't hold it in the account for the entire term.  The money continues to net interest at the specified rate automatically after the previous term is met.

What is the minimum term length?

Is there a page anywhere that has this documented?

1 month is the shortest. And yes, it's on the financing page.

i also let it auto bet a few rounds and den quit. mainly to earn that withdrawal fee so it is like fee withdrawal for me. usually i will also get a few more extra and use that to run for fun.
I do autobet and always lost i use martiangle X2 and raise 100% if lose, only 10 mintes my balance to 0

Every time I auto-bet I get this weird gut feeling like I have a higher chance of losing.. So I almost never auto-bet and when I do it's only for a couple spins/rolls.

There is zero difference. Your chances are exactly the same regardless of if you bet 100 times a second or once a month. The only difference is the once a month will take many years to bust since it takes longer to rack up bets.

Kind of curious if bustabit which is formerly moneypot has a similar url for investing since its not in the faq or if I missed it somewhere or is it just moneypot that has an investment part.
And also if they are different games
https://www.bustabit.com/investment (Does not Exist)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=709185.2340;topicseen

bustabit (also owned by me) doesn't offer an investment feature at the moment Sad

Thanks for the clarification so investors hang out at moneypot and no double dipping two sides yet  Wink
Thanks

Players can rest easy hehe

The issue with BAB is that it's a volatile game, so it doesn't work too well with an atomic bankroll.

Again, cheap advertising today, and smooth service after we made some optimizations. Just in case, we are going to upgrade our server before we continue accepting new publishers.

It's great to see the site still rolling along. But with the low advertiser pool, what happens if it doesn't grow for a while? Seems like you're already taking a financial hit.
Financial hit? Smiley
All of our publishers are getting payed great so far. The top ones are getting close to 0.005-0.01 btc daily for a single 468x60 banner. Every drop in the pool means very cheap advertising opportunity, so people just won't miss that.

You could see our current CPC and CPM prices at the front page as a proof how cheap it is to advertise through us.

I meant the financial hit to you. Just with the low amount right now, I figured your fees aren't fully covering all costs yet.

158k Krill account for sale.  You can enter every krillroll on SWC--including the 150k--and get 27% rakeback.  Asking for 2btc.  Post in this thread or e-mail razzledazzleswc@gmail.com

How much do the highest freerolls (150k) give to the first place winner?
Depends on number of entrants, but last one had 15 players, I believe, and first place was 2.2 btc (RazzleDazzle shipped it).

Interesting. That gives the account a lot of potential value... considering one win could more than pay for it.

2947  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: [ANN] a-ads.com: Affordable traffic for bitcoins. Generous affiliate program. on: October 07, 2015, 07:50:41 PM
We have a generous affiliate program: people that attract paying advertisers get half of fees we collect from them (~10% of their spendings).

We probably over-deliver since we display only globally-unique IPs by default and advertisers get more impressions than they probably expect for their money.

We even offer free advertising for advertisers that agree to integrate with our API (http://blog.anonymousads.com/2015/04/receive-free-traffic-pay-after-you-get.html).

But the advertising budgets are low, average CPM is only ~$0.15 for 1000 of globally-unique IPs. That probably means that advertisers (i. e. the ones that pay money for advertising) switched to other advertising networks.

What do you think is the reason of the declining revenue? What is the most important thing that needs to be done to fix it?


I think it's more catering to publishers than advertisers. If there aren't enough publishers, advertisers stop. MellowAds has been taking off lately, so you might want to look into what you're doing differently.

Signature Campaign. Good side earnings while you are busy at work. In my current campaign rules are not that strict and maximum post is easy to reach so even Im busy at work I can still lend time to do a signature campaign.

I do not know much about signature campaign. But I make some 100k Satoshi from faucets daily in my leisure time. I work on faucets daily some 1 hour. If you are good in choosing faucets, then faucets earning also would be nice.

100k satoshis per hour by faucets only? Even with a good faucet rotator it's kinda hard but anyways you are good. Keep up the good work.

i agree on this statement seem little hard but if you can gather that much then you use faucet almost 24 hours

Not really. He probably does ~10 faucets in a rotation and so spends a minute or so every hour hitting all of them. It's not that difficult.
2949  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dice game strategy? on: October 07, 2015, 07:47:01 PM
The best strategy that works for me for now is betting x3.3 multiplier and 55% increase on loss but keep in mind you should have at least half BTC and start from 1 satoshi.
It is not a strategy at all, you are just using little martingale system with some changes (which is proven to be not exactly working) and rest is just your prejudice. When people understand that martingale is not best way to mitigate your losses.
It is working for me and that is all I care about. With martingale you win only one unit every time you win, with my strategy your winning progress with your bet.

How many rolls are you doing? I had a strategy that worked out to be profitable after 2.3 MILLION rolls, and then busted and wiped my bankroll.

I used poloniex but now they have stopped free coins giveaway. Now a days I use yobit, other than trading profits I make some free coins from their daily free coins.

I have been for a long time in poloniex and i have not seen any giveaway?
For which giveaway are you talking about? I use both of them poloniex and yobit.
Yobit has it's free coins section, they recently removed the 500 satoshi "faucet".

They used to have a free coin area IIRC, for newly released ones where the developer wanted to help spread awareness. Most of them were dormant/empty, though, so it didn't have much value.

I thought the reason it blew up was because the max. win had been hit. Does it not explode the rocket when that happens?

Nah, if the max-profit is hit everyone is cashed out at that point (which is earlier than they like) but doesn't affect the actual game bust. He just got super, super lucky Cheesy

Ahh, cool. I think a neat promo next time (like with the coins) would be to do something along the lines of "first person to bet at least 10k bits and cash out at the exact bust point above 3.00x"

Looks like the investor profit just took a large blow. Luckily I noticed my invested value quickly plummeting and divested it all before the real damage occured. Must've been a large gambler who pulled off a lucky streak.

hehe. As cowbay would say: "dust". Just yesterday I lost a net of like 100 BTC bankrolling XD

It seems most of the action was from "molloype" who wagered ~520 BTC on BB, and ended up losing about 0.456 BTC. However investors paid 2.56 BTC to BB in commissions, which results in a net investor loss of 2.11 BTC.

Remember, investing is a risky game, don't put any money in that you're not completely prepared to lose.

Not *too* bad, then. It's gone up like 20 BTC in the past week and a half, so this is just a 10% drop from 9-10 days of profit.
2955  Economy / Gambling / Re: bustabit.com -- The Social Gambling Game (formerly moneypot.com) on: October 07, 2015, 06:30:38 PM
Can anyone good with math figure out what are the chances of someone even doing this? Right on the dot? Like come on, that is BS.. Seriously seems like some sort of exploit was used.

I'm not really sure that's calculable. There are millions of patterns of events that are "wow wtf". e.g. it crashing at  1.23, then 4.56, then 7.89, so even though each might have a 1 in a million chance of happening, there's so many that it's almost certain one of them will happen.

I thought the reason it blew up was because the max. win had been hit. Does it not explode the rocket when that happens?
2956  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: [ANN] Mellow Ads - simple, bitcoin advertising - CPM/CPC campaigns now available on: October 07, 2015, 06:27:54 PM
IMPORTANT UPDATE

We are currently trying to fight off a sustained DOS attack against our main server. Mellow Ads is currently offline whilst we deal with this, we hope to have it back online as soon as possible.
Please accept our apologies  for the inconvenience that this is causing and thank you for your patience.


We are now back up and running Smiley
Again, we want to give a big apology for this extended downtime. We are confident now that the system is much more resilient to this sort of DOS attack, but we are continuing to implement further security measures to absolutely minimize the chances of this happening again.

  • Please be assured that all accounts/passwords/balances etc are intact - there has been zero loss or exposure of sensitive data or funds.
  • Any CPM and CPC campaigns should just pick up where they left off - while the system was down no views/clicks happened of course.
  • Any Network campaigns that were active have obviously lost some time due to these issues. Therefore we have extended the end date/time for them all by 24 hours to compensate for this. So if for example you started a network campaign on 4th October and paid for 7 days, then it will now run until the 12th October (instead of the 11th October)
  • Network/campaign/ad space statistics will obviously show lower views and impressions over the last 24 hours

Thanks again for your patience, and for using Mellow Ads Smiley



A huge +1 for reimbursing for lost time (looks like 2x as much time, too)! Are DoS attacks what was causing the lagged server over the past week and a half, too, or just recently?
2957  Economy / Investor-based games / Re: [ANN] MinerFarm - Virtual Mining Game for Real Bitcoin on: October 07, 2015, 06:25:59 PM
why is my profit is the same for three days.?i dont understand.withdrawal fee is very high too.i joined when it started and have 0.00032 for profit but when i wanted to withdraw ,it says ill get -0.00018.vey interesting.
it's because there is a fixed Fee for withdrawal ( 0.0005 BTC ) of any transaction ... 0.00032 - 0.0005 = - 0.00018 (this is exactly correct and nothing is wrong since this is the system on minerfarm )

and as to your first question, there are a deduction for daily maintenance, electricity by the end of each day that's why depending on what your equipment is there is some charge fee's by 24th hour of each day
so from the start i have been working for the site owner it means

Withdraw charges are common for the Bitcoin network now.  Coming out with a positive ROI is possible with a bit of strategic planning of what pool you join and some patience too.  Yes, the game is edged to give incentive to the admin, but this is also what allows the game to be sustainable...some people will win and some will lose.  There's various ways to offset losses by being selective about pools you join and also just being patient for a small pool to find a block.

I don't think players with the free 10 GH/s are going to make a profit. Most cloud mining services offer the same thing for the same reason.
2958  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] HaoBTC, mining dividend paid out hourly on: October 07, 2015, 03:31:46 PM

I wouldn't be worried about exit strategy. Just securing funds. As Eric has said in response to my questions, the worst that would happen to users is no more interest. But asking what happens if they're hacked is a great question.

I think they need to introduce some bounty campaigns in order to detect any backdoor(s) if present within their databases. And most importantly, trusting their staff members is vital to run an investment scheme where any miracle may happen anytime and the staff members doesn't run away with all the funds ! Wink

Technically, they have a bounty system: the hot wallet, :p.

I get where you're coming from, though. I'm personally less worried about site security than I am what they do if it's compromised. To me, it's like a bank: if the bank gets robbed, it doesn't affect me. I don't care about their security protocols, I just care about the end result for me, considering I have no say in how they run their business/secure it.
Has Eric answered to what the company would do IF they did get hacked and lost a large amount of users' bitcoins?

Not that I'm aware of. At this point I'd require a third party handling insurance. So far, every self-insured BTC business I've heard of has tanked and not followed through on their promises.
2959  Economy / Investor-based games / Re: [ANN] MinerFarm - Virtual Mining Game for Real Bitcoin on: October 07, 2015, 01:54:54 AM

Wow thats alot of bot accounts. I mean 45 ths thats 4500 free 10ghs accounts. I mean what would be the point of creating so many accounts. You would still only receive pennies per day from all those accounts.

And if there was 5384 accounts that where banned wouldn't that be a total of 53840 ghs or 53 ths and not 45. The numbers don't add up.


It's likely that some of those accounts are inactive (producing 0GHS) or have been around for more than a week (degradation of hardware).

I'm just surprised at how many bot accounts there are. It's not like they're going to make a sizable profit.
2960  Economy / Gambling / Re: MoneyPot.com :: The bitcoin gambling wallet on: October 07, 2015, 01:50:42 AM
@RHaver - How do you see this change affecting investors? Surely this change will decrease the number of users as there are so many players who exclusively bet 1-99 satoshi. I can see all those players moving to other sites outside of MoneyPot's network thus decreasing the the volume of bets and in turn the total volume of bitcoin flowing through MoneyPot's apps. I understand the need to decrease the load on your network, but at what cost?

Sounds like bad news for investors to me. I could be wrong though, we'll see how it pans out.

I think people are forgetting how small a satoshi bet is. It quite literally something like x1000 times the EV to just process that bet in server/db costs. PocketRocketsCasino did a nice breakdown. Just today a (real) gambler was asking why the servers seem a bit laggy, and digging in I found a bot was spamming ~25-50 (i didn't count) satoshi-sized bets at once. At this point, it's really not gambling, it's just going for some vanity bets/second metric, and the end result is degraded service for everyone.  I'm having a look now at building something like a priority queue, to give first priority to larger bets, and bets from unique ips, but it's getting a bit involved. So far the only real use-case I can see for support satoshi-level bets, is that it helps encourage some gamblers fallacy-type betting.

I know pokercoin.casino is going with a split-bankroll, so they can support dust bets (and get the money from it) and only forward us the larger bets. It's probably quite an elegant solution on this issue.

Yeah it costs us more space on the database as well to do these bets but really the dust bets come with the territory because dice is like that. Is there any other restrictions,changes to income, or other pertinent details we should be aware of on the horizon? If so let's just get it out now so we can make alternate preparations and not be caught off guard and put into a position where we need to make development changes to suit your decisions. Sorry to be blunt, but really I figured our input as a first casino of Moneypot would be taken into more consideration when it has direct effects on what we provide.

This is a good point... satoshis become btcs with things like martingale. Especially those doing 10x bets.
