I think this is a crazy achievement for Bitcoin, with a total market cap of 1.42T vs the silver market cap of $1.38T right now Bitcoin is worth more than Silver.

And is crazy to think, How a virtual asset can be worth more than a precious metal? It's crazy times that we are living in, and money and value are just losing sense. Markets decide what should worth a lot and what should crash.

Voy empezando el día, me preparé un café y decidí ver el precio para saber si la fiesta se había acabado, y para mi sorpresa me encuentro con un alucinante $72,600 y al parecer esto se va a descontrolar, no estoy seguro que tanto seguirá subiendo pero el olor a $100k está en el aire.

También cabe aclarar que el mercado de capitalización de las cryptos sigue subiendo, y por ahora se encuentra en $2.71T mientras que el de bitcoin es $1.42T.

I think the quantum transition involves the encryption used by Bitcoin, sha256 will not be safe enough to keep operating the nodes and address management, so, new encryption algorithms will substitute sha256, the best options now are 3 algorithms: CRYSTALS-Dilithium, FALCON and SPHINCS+, this ones are quantum resistant cryptographic algorithms. And it looks like these ones will be the future of cryptography.

True, the UFC 300 will not be that spectacular event. I see nice names like Pereira, Holloway, Oliveira, Garbrandt, Holms... But i don't see a spectacular fight at all. Maybe they should bring some fighters like: Nate Diaz, Cormier, Werdum... some of those crazy fighters.

I mean, a fight like Cormier vs Werdum for the main event on the ufc 300 would be just crazy fight and something that we all would love to see.

The past fight from Sean O’Malley was rigged as hell, no one understand how he wins after been a punching bag all the rounds, and this time i have the feeling that he will lose by KO. That's the only option for Marlon Vera because if they go to points it will be a lose for him.

About the other fights i feel Michael Page and Dustin Pointer will win, but we know how crazy UFC can be, let's grab some popcorn and enjoy the event.

How? Can you explain step by step how the smart contract validates each round?

I don't see a client seed, and the problem about that is the house can predict the next bet outcome, but i haven't seen the smart contract yet, so, please explain to us how it works. And i feel like you should have this explanation in the site because just saying "The smart contract guarantees..." doesn't make it provably fair. 

Es como si "La mafia del poder" no quisiera que bitcoin pase de $70k, nada mas se acerca y salen a flote las órdenes de venta.

Ayer platicaba con un amigo como funciona el precio de bitcoin, como hay ordenes de compra/venta y cuando se liquidan es que el precio se mueve, y cuando me preguntó, ¿Pero quien liquida esas órdenes? fue una pregunta que me dejó reflexionando y que no fue tan fácil de responder, ya que el accesos a los mercados de cryptos es muy fácil, tenemos gente común o como decimos aquí "De a pie", aun que sea difícil de creer hay menores de edad jugando en esos mercados, e incluso hay robotos colocando ordenes de orden/venta y liquidando. El tratar de visualizar lo que pasa ahí y los agentes implícitos es un ejercicio interesante.

Is the first time i see this kind of betting in UFC, i have seen something like that in Soccer where you can bet in the corner shots and stuff like that but significant strikes its a crazy bet, and i say it is crazy because the fighter could place a bet and just be careful in the number of punches he land, doesn't matter if he wins or loses, in the end, he will win the bet.

And i have mixed feelings about that Sean fight, the past one was rigged as hell, let's see what happens on this one.

Collusion and multi-accounts is one of the main problems in online poker, and is really hard to avoid it, even if the site has a department focus on that area they will notice after the collusion has been done and that would give a bad experience to other users.

But is great to see a new poker site, i really love texas and will give a try to your site soon.

Gracias por el dato colega, desconocía el nombre de la técnica, pero como bien mencionas, se ha usado mucho para hacer videos de humor en el pasado, aun recuerdo algunos de starwars con canciones graciosas, o incluso de políticos como trump cantando canciones de eminem. Sin embargo también se han usado para hacer estafas.

Personalmente me da miedo el tema del deep fake, el echo de que puedan crear un video de algún pariente diciendo que esta secuestrado y pidiendo dinero es algo que se me hace brutal en temas de ingeniería social, realmente tenemos que ser escépticos al 120% hoy en día, y por mas real que se vea, ya no podemos creer en la pantalla.

¿De casualidad sabes si dichas entrevistas son creadas con inteligencia artificial? Volvemos al tema del deepfake el cual utilisan inteligencia artificial para igualar el tono de voz y tambien hacen sincronización de labios con el mensaje. Lo interesante del asunto es que está tan bien echo que realmente parece como si fuese una entrevista real.

Sinembargo hay otro método que es cortar y pegar hasta crear el mensaje deseado.

When the price is on its ATH is a critical point because it means all the holders are on a profit point, and the only way to win on that situation is by selling. That's why we saw that crazy crash from $69k to $61 in a short period of time, as you say, it means some whale sold a big amount of BTC, And it will happen again if the price gets that high. Some investors are looking to make a profit in the short term. If you think about those who bought at $61k yesterday, if they decide to sell now, then the could walk away with 10% profit, and that's big for 24h.

Today i tested the casino and would like to report some bugs:

1.- under https://bitroul.com/provably-fair

Please enter the number of the round :
The - and . symbol shouldn't be allowed. It should be sanitized to only allow positive integers, it even allows inputs like "24-3"

2.- The client seed area should be only letters and numbers, as you can see, it allows any character, this way hackers could do some SQL injection or JS injection.

3.- When we place a bet and it's finished, then we move to provably fair, and verify some previous bets, when we come back to the game, it doesn't recognize the bets on the board as you can see in the next image:


4.- If we place a bet, when the animation start we move to the Provably Fair tab, then we get back and the animation gets weird, and the ball moves in a vertical way, and the ball always ends in the same position between 17 and 34.


5.- When you make a deposit, user should not input the amount, the site should only provide a depo address and read the amount when the depo gets confirmed.

I selected a 0.1 deposit on the site and send 0.01 LTC:
https://litecoin.atomicwallet.io/tx/9d3cd3d814eea795f0e3b36d108c78de86ad93cf523cfe3e577bbd312496fde4
Never get the deposit


Update about my depo:

I get 2 mails:


And then the second one:


So, i will have to wait some hours to recover the 0.01LTC, i mean, it was for testing proposes and it wouldn't hurt if i can't recover them, but i don't like at all the deposit system managed by a 3rd party. 

Hello ShadApoc, i have a casino software that works without providers, it has 4 provably fair games and works with its own node. The engine has features like a chat with moderators system, and a admin panel. And right now i have 2 versions, one running with Clamcoin and another one running with litecoin (this one is the fresh one). And the software could be adapted to other coins.

My software isn't public yet, but i have a private link for those who want to try it. I will send you my contact info in PM.

Desconocía esa página de 8marketcap, pero es una excelente referencia, es interesante comparar la capitalización de bitcoin con grandes empresas y grandes activos, me impresionó que el mercado de bitcoin vale casi 3 veces el de Visa. Creo que eso aclara que tecnología es mejor 

Y ver que está tan cerca del mercado de la plata se me hace algo épico. Esperemos que lo pase pronto.

Yesterday i had my first experience with this casino, and i really enjoyed it.

I made a 0.25LTC deposit and tried to play Nitropolis 4, but it wasn't available in my jurisdiction, so, i had to choose another provider. I decided to play Master Joker (pragmatic), and there i had some luck sending my balance to 0.5 LTC, after that, i rolled some Plinko bets, but that was a rollercoaster, so, i decided to withdraw my balance, 0.51LTC. The withdrawal takes less than 3 minutes.

It was a good experience for my first time on this casino, i will recommend it to my local friends 

More than working without emotions i think we need a clear goal with gambling. Let's say you make a $100 deposit and your goal is to get $250, if you reach that goal then you can walk away, if you don't reach that goal and you lose it all you can call it a day and try later. And when you have a clear goal things like depo $100 to go up to $1000 and then lose it all, will never happen.

This way you will not feel bad if you lose, and you will have the chance to walk away with money.

Justo estaba viendo ese comportamiento, una vez que Bitcoin tocó los $69,000 entonces llego el desplome a $61,000 lo cual es un gap grande, hablamos de un poco menos que el 15% de pérdida en un chico rato, sin embargo vino la remontada, y ahora mismo esta en $66,500.  Creo que ese desplome fue una advertencia del mercado, la gente tiene que entender que está tratando con alta volatilidad y alto riesgo.

Esa caída de 69 a 61 seguido por la recuperación me recordó al siguiente meme:

I watched the video, and looks like you avoided the thief by doing a double spend, but i don't understand why you have to make manually that second transaction. It would be nice if your service sent the second transaction in auto, but I see a problem here. The second transaction should always have a bigger fee than the first one, other ways miners could give priority to the 1st one.

And maybe it would be better if you offered this as software and not as a service, maybe big companies would be interested in it.

En teoría con esta política buscan incentivar la inversión y el turismo, aun que mas bien yo diría que buscan incentivar el lavado de dinero. Tal vez para paises de primer mundo $25k no es mucha plata, pero para paises de latinoamérica es bastante teniendo en cuenta que con eso puedes comprar una propiedad o un auto usado de gama alta.

Cabe aclarar que esos 25k son la sumatoria y no solo 1 transacción grande, pero aun así creo que el límite es muy elevado y no creo que esto sea algo bueno.
