301  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Locking the Bounty coins without information in the Thread is form of decieving! on: July 02, 2019, 07:07:49 PM
Well, that's what you get if you work before getting some form of payment upfront.
As long as there are people stupid enough to do these bounties, there will be scams around.

You don't have a leg to stand on, since I can assure you that these projects are fully covered against possible lawsuits.
More than that, who's going to sue them when you're literally working for such low amounts...

If you do work for someone, get your payment locked in escrow or get paid upfront with existing coins that have value.

Yeah, definitely a Cloudfare issue, which kinda sucks, since it's used by so many different websites.
Glad it got resolved pretty quickly, but any downtime is pretty bad when so many websites are affected.

They should really have some sort of failsafe when that happens
303  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: John McAfee Believes Dogecoin “Will Go To The Moon” on: July 02, 2019, 02:18:07 PM
What's not to like about Dogecoin? It's an awesome meme and allows you to send coins fast.
If you're not investing your life savings into Doge, you're going to be missing out for sure!

No, but really, why do you think they're hyping up Dogecoin? It's a complete joke, but a really good one.
Doge even had advertising on a Nascar car, if anyone remembers that? Tongue

Besides, is there actually proof of Yobit doing this, for the exact reasons you've mentioned?
Or is it just a coincidence?
What's a coincidence? What proof do you want of yobit being scammy?

Them actually disabling wallets of coins that are dropping in value?
For the record, I'm not saying this isn't the case, I've never used Yobit myself, nor have I heard about these claims.

All I've heard is that they're a shady exchange, but I've never really looked into it any further than that.

Why would I trade on Yobit, when there are dozens of other options out there that don't have such a negative reputation?
305  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Beginner's guide to online slot gaming on: July 02, 2019, 10:10:09 AM
Pretty good explanation of all the different components of slot machines, but overall I don't think that most people have much use for a guide like this.
Slot machines are made in such a way that even the dumbest person will pretty much instantly understand how they work.

All in all, it's fairly obvious stuff, but at least it's pretty well written.

Good that it isn't some sort of strategy guide Tongue That wouldn't thrown all your credibility out of the window Wink
306  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Grand Theft Crypto: The State of Crypto-Stealing Malware & Other Techniques on: July 02, 2019, 09:19:04 AM
The other week there was a company in Belgium that got completely shut down due to another crypto ransomware attack.
I think around 1000 people were technically unemployed for around 7 days or more.

This wasn't the first time something like this hadn't happened, but definitely the most significant attack of its sort.

Just mentioning it because it seems pretty crazy that something like that can happen and have such an impact.

@PassThePopcorn

The thing is, even with staff watching, can you really be 100% sure that people aren't using transparent resource packs to mine for ores?
I mean, it's fairly obvious when you go straight for diamonds, but you can definitely make it look like you're discovering them by accident.

That said, even if cheating were possible, I do think it's a great idea. As long as you could prevent the majority of cheating, it might be enough to host something like this.
308  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Minecraft UHC (battle royale) game for bitcoin | NEED HOSTING PAY IN BTC on: July 01, 2019, 07:04:26 PM
It's a really cool idea and I wish it were possible to do this.
The thing that would make this impossible to do in a fair manner, would be that it's pretty much impossible to prevent people from cheating in Minecraft.

You don't have 100% sure ways to prevent people from cheating, so anything involving money would certainly attract cheaters.
Unless you force people to record all of their gameplay for example.

@stomachgrowls

Yeah I'm basically paraphrasing what he mentioned in PM Wink
Looking forward to writing the review as well, actually a bunch of people are looking forward to reading it now Tongue

I must've told at least a dozen people about it already!
310  Other / Meta / Re: What has changed in last 60 days to allow Yobit to have campaigns here ? on: June 30, 2019, 04:58:36 PM
Yobit is a CLEAR SCAM.

It switches off its wallets trapping traders coins on plummeting markets. Some have been off line for years with no response even when devs are contacting them.
These are coins that have fully working wallets there is no reason for them to take them off line.

Total shit hole should be blacklisted from this forum. Damages the entire movement when exchanges get to advertise here that are pulling this shit.

Read what Loyce said:

Scams aren't moderated. Freedom of speech prevails, it's up to the users to check who they do business with.

This isn't going to change, I'm 99.9% sure of that. To me that's one of the cornerstones of this forum and I'm not saying that because I like scams being promoted or anything like that. If you want strict moderation of content, I think Reddit might be a better place for you Wink

Besides, is there actually proof of Yobit doing this, for the exact reasons you've mentioned?
Or is it just a coincidence?
311  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: DigiPiglets - BTC Piggy Bank NEW SAMPLE PICS - First 10 Orders 50% off on: June 30, 2019, 04:48:51 PM
Any new updates regarding the shipping of this?
I'm going to move to a new address soon, so the address I've entered before will not be in use anymore.

Hey eternalgloom, I sent you a PM! Stay tuned
Whats the updates of these piggies?  Grin

They will get finished eventually Wink
OP's pretty busy with some personal stuff, but I have no doubt that he'll get them ready whenever he has time again Smiley
312  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino investment - how to calculate ROI? on: June 30, 2019, 01:05:38 PM
Slightly off-topic, but this kind of thread reminds me that there currently isn't any sort of software that allows you to easily track gambling investment.
I mean, you have all these crypto portfolio apps, literally dozens of them, but not a single app to track investments on crypto casinos.

Excel is great, but it takes quite a lot of time to manually create and fill in the sheet.
313  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Universal Basic Income Cryptocurrency on: June 30, 2019, 11:49:40 AM
There are already a couple of altcoins and tokens that specifically market themselves as being universal basic income projects.
I've made a pretty large overview thread of all the current crypto basic income projects.

Have a look here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3242065

There are 24 projects listed, if you ever come across any that aren't listed, send me a pm or reply to the thread Wink

I have been hearing about such a project from last many years but there is nothing solid yet available and i think such a project cannot be realized untill there is a stable and huge source of revenue that should be provided by big governments or institutions.

That's not a universal basic income project.

Would it be possible to set up a cryptocurrency that pays out a regular amount to people who download an app, as well as obviously paying miners, so it can be traded for a local currency on a platform such as Coinbase and thus used as a Universal Basic Income without needing any government to set up a scheme?

I do not know a great deal about crypto or blockchain and know such a scheme would be much more complex in reality than the brief outline given above but I'm just trying to establish whether such a thing would be feasible.
Making such cryptocurrency is possible, even there are some that have done that, but the problem is how you can make that coin's value not deplete due to being issued without reason, it is like printing money as much as you can and you can't hope to the money to be able to hold if that goes on

I agree.Such coin won't have any value,because it would be given away for free and it's non-usable,because no merchant or crypto exchange will accept it.The idea of universal basic income has nothing to do with the crypto-world and there's no way to be implemented successfully.

I completely disagree , yes, they need an additional source of funding, but it's not impossible to find this. NGO's or governments could easily fund this.
Basic income would be relatively easy to fund for people in third world countries for example. Some countries have an average monthly wage of less than $100.

Heck, even a remotely wealthy philanthropist could secure enough funding to provide thousands of people with a form of basic income.
314  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Iran seizes 1,000 Bitcoin mining machines after power spike on: June 30, 2019, 11:40:23 AM
It's well known that authoritarian countries aren't crypto-friendly.

That's not always the case though, Belarus for example is very crypto-friendly and it's a dictatorship...
While some democratic countries can be completely against crypto.

In the case of Iran, I guess they have to do something to prevent their national currency to drop even more.
Not sure if they're already in the hyper-inflation stage, but things aren't going too well with their currency.

--snip--
Affiliate can be a good job but it is not meant for all of us. I have tried affiliate a lot of times but it never worked for me and the little earnings I was able to get, I didn't withdraw because I couldn't reach the limit for withdrawal. I think it meant for those that maybe has a blog that gets lot of audience who reads their articles and follows them and even do everything they say. If not you will just be wasting your time cause nobody is going to look at you sharing links and trying to convince them to register on a site they know nothing about and worst of it all… A Casino.

Oh come on what a spammy comment is this? So, you failed at getting any affiliate and now you're saying that most people won't be able to earn anything.
You don't even need a blog to advertise your affiliate links, you can just buy targeted advertising and advertise your link that way.

Sure, you need to find a way to make back the money you spend on clicks, but that's not too hard when you're advertising a decent casino.

Also, don't quote the entire OP...
316  Other / Meta / Re: Not against the rules/guidelines but feels like it should be - Clickbait Ads on: June 30, 2019, 11:01:15 AM
Looks like their posts are already removed, but I wish you had quoted them in the OP. (No, I don't actually need to see them, I get the gist)
I think it's pretty clear now that anything obviously low-effort can just be reported and will be removed pretty quickly.

Just saying this because I've noticed a couple of these kinds of threads, linking to someone's post history for similar behaviour and it's always dealt with fairly quickly.

Report away I'd say and don't worry too much about thinking you might be wrong about reporting it.

After all:

Might be a good idea to add a source to your post, especially since you just copied that title from a Coindesk article.
Pretty close to plagiarism, I'd say, even though you've written the post content yourself.

Wouldn't LN be better for this, since you're going to be dealing with such small amounts?
Cool project though, I don't agree at all with what @Zemomtum says. Who cares if it's limited to Twitter, you have to start somewhere...
319  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This is why I am so frustrated with bitcoin on: June 30, 2019, 10:20:14 AM
Sorry, I really try not to be too rude most of the time, but this topic is just plain ridiculous.

First of all, do you really think that begging for people to start investing more in altcoins, will actually make that happen?

Second, there have been billions of dollars invested into various altcoins, but you can't ignore that most of it has been a huge bubble in the past.
The absolute majority of coins out there can't put forward any decent looking usage statistics, especially compared to traditional similar services.

That makes their valuation completely wrong, even at this point.

Invest in the projects you like, but don't go thinking that the world owes you anything...

I don't tend to bump this topic all too often, but I thought I'd just do it once.
If anyone knows about any other crypto UBI projects that aren't listed here, just leave a reply and I'll add them as soon as possible.
