LOTTERY ROUND 131
This round, the winner with the lowest number of tickets is #3 with 126 tickets.
#1 won with 777,690 tickets.
The week that I deposited 1.3 BTC and lost all, I had ended up with 860,000+ tickets and didn't win jack  Cry
It said I had 28+% chance of winning, on my lottery page, but guess what? Didn't win any of the 10 prizes. How unlucky can someone be???
Never waste any BTC or reward points on lottery tickets. Its so unpredictable, and chance of winning is ... idk... weird
I was so disappointed that I lost almost $13K, that I wanted to believe that I was gonna win some back with the lottery, especially seince I had more than 28% of all the lottery tickets in the world! I didn't...

BTW, congratulations to me!!! I finally just became a Full Member  Grin

In a lottery, only 10 people are going to win and I think site need to remove that % of winning feature because it is not applicable. Even though if you purchase 90% of tickets but not sure whether you can win a lottery. It does not depend on how many tickets you got but it depends on your luck in the lottery.

You shouldn't have spent so much money but it is learning for you and should avoid these big mistakes in future.

I don’t think the site has to remove that at all, as it is applicable indeed.

Luck depends also on how many tickets. I you have 90% of the tickets you need way less luck to win the lottery than if you have just 0.0001% of them.

Anyway, buying so many lottery tickets is pretty crazy. Site owner must be very happy with customers like him.

(Post-edit: I’ve realized that he probably didn’t buy the tickets, but got them due to gambling so much, which is pretty crazy anyway)


Exactly that. I had gambled so much that I ended up with over 28% of the lottery tickets lol
Another interesting fact was that right after losing all, the free roll amounts went up also for about 3 days before they’d started going down again (due toBTC price rise). So you’re welcome  Tongue

By the way my deposits are now more than double the free rool winnings ( 2.32 : 1 ), I still get the captcha. My dep + referral commissions instead are 1.62 : 1 on free roll winnings. Maybe this is the value that should be double ( 2.xx : 1 ).


Interesting. So the formula
No Captcha: D > F + C, where D: deposits, F: free roll earnings, C: referral commissions seem to work for you and me. Anyone else?

It seems that the campaign manager here cannot reply to my message 1 page back. he cannot provide the wallet transaction and the balance of this campaign this means this is a really scam. provide more information and wallet transactions and 15 BTC wallet balance before people trust you.

Ok, we saw and we did reply, but we can't let people like you who don't understand to troll us!

So please either you mature up and understand how this ANN & Campaign work, or move on man ..Move on, it's not like you HAVE TO...

But we want you to please do us a favor come back on: Dec 16th, Dec 31st 2017, And JAN 31ST 2018.

THAT'S IT.

P.S Stop keep coming here to promote the ICO of that company you have it on your Signature, we know what you are try to do man! Grow up!

P.S So these people who you joined their last campaign scammed you? or you still hope to get your money from them? You know which one we are talking about.

I don’t understand what Alpinat is asking for. He wants to see the 15 BTC in a wallet address to verify bounty exists?

Is it even possible to get scammed by a signature campaign? My understanding of scamming involves an investor investing and losing currency to a scammer rather than making ROÍ from currency spent. In signature campaigns, one would just invest signature space, and get paid with currency. Not really an investment. More like employment.

If you worked for a company trying to promote itself and your boss asked you to wear a uniform with the company’s logos and ads, would you ask your boss to prove that he has enough money in his wallet to send you your paycheck when it’s due?

I do not want to see captcha, how many accounts must I have? nice thanks

You shouldn't have more than 1 account. Referrals, yes.

The best way is to make deposits. How much is the question. And if you can understand what some of these guys are trying to do then you have better maths than I do. But the best bet is not to break the rules. And also deposits will help.
yes , thanks you , will deposit for freebitco , but you know deposit how much ?

Moonkid, If your account is new and has a balance less that BTC0.0003 (min withdraw limit), capucha won’t be removed unless you deposit more than BTC0.0003, according to reports from other users
my account is old and balance is 0.00131345 but have captcha , i can deposit how much Smiley

Go to Stats, click on personal stats. How much is your Free Roll Winnings? How much is your  Total Deposits?
I’m almost sure that your deposits must be greater than the Free Roll Winnings to have Captcha removed

does anybody know that what to do with free wcx I earned ?! can I send them to a wallet or something ?!?! If so, how ?!
WCX? What is that and where did you find it?

when will new miners be sold?
I wish I knew! I wish I even knew where they would make such announcement, if they ever announce miner release dates.

Advantage is for emperor Wu, you are buying cloud mining contracts to help Antpool to stay in the top 3 worldwide mining pools, then he thinks that we owe him something, then after having enough money, he feels like it is the time to double my Bitcoins, for a few months he tries to convince people that what he is saying is for the best, shills posting tirelessly, when he couldn't fool every body, he forked Bitcoin cash and didn't share them with us beggars, I'm willing to be his shill around here if he gives me 10 BCH I can finally buy my dream house (if I'm going to shill for him, don't you think that I need at least a place of my own? I also need to have a place if I've ever want to bring a prostitute to perform a jumping for the first time in my life, also I've heard if your shills jump a girl, they could be strong and have a better chance of success in shilling for you). a simple lol would suffice.

Are you saying that you have a hashnest account, had BTC in your hashnest wallet, and never got an equivalent amount of BCH after the fork? In that case, you should submit a support reauest

I had 2.04 BTC before the fork and after the fork I found a new BCH wallet with the same amount:

Quite unusual for an ANN thread. Now this piques my interest. Hmmm, how to join Bounty Campaign?

Hi! You may join campaign here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2494912.0

I'm kinda a newb at signature campaigns... Sorry if my questions seem dumb:

- Is it just a signature campaign for a project that no one will know about until the end of the year?

- Is investment a requirement? Why would anyone invest blindly when nobody knows What is C?

- If we reply to people in this thread, does it count toward towards our posts count?
310  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Bounties (Altcoins) / Re: C | 15 BITCOINS TO SHARE [Bounty Thread][ANN] on: December 04, 2017, 03:30:35 AM
I hope its ok to post questions here. If not, please let me know and I'll delete this reply.

in the signature campaign template:
Starting post Count:   <------ here, do we count the registration post count, or do we +1 to our post count, so this post wont be counted?
Date of Join:  <------------ date joined Bitcointalk or date of registration post?

Edit:
Day 1: Post Count : <------ Is Day 1 the same of the registration post date, or do we start updating post counts starting on the next day?

* Do we have to invest anything to the addresses you provided, or is it optional to get paid for the signature campaign?
* Why does my signature look different than the one in the OP for Full/Senior/Hero/Legendary Members?

Thanks in advance for your attention.

Regarding the captcha. I have deposited more than 2 times my earnings. Yet a few weeks ago the captcha reappeared. Now...last night it disappeared and I made 2 or 3 rolls without but then it reappeared for a roll I made right before going to bed. Now this morning it's gone again. Uhm....  anyone want to try to explain this behavior?

Perhaps you deposited a little more than EDIT: freeroll total, then you played a little and caused your total deposits to become less than double the total free rolls earnings?

Good theory, but no, my deposits are more like 3 times more and have been for awhile.
In any event, why would the captcha then disappear again for a few rolls, reappear for one, then disappear again?
That's exactly what hinted at you being near the 1:1 ratio of deposits to freeroll total.
If your freeroll total earnings is F, and your deposit D was a little more F, say D = F + 0.00000400 BTC -> Captcha removed because D > F
An hour later, if you rolled again and won 0.00000500 BTC, this would bring your new freerolls total to F' = F + 0.00000500,

substituting F with D - 0.00000400 from D = F + 0.00000400,
F' = D - 0.00000400 + 0.00000500 = D + 0.00000100
,
so D = F' - 0.00000100 -> Captcha activates because D < F'

From here on, the only thing that would make sense to win remove captcha again without more deposits would be if it also had to do with your account balance or some other referral commissions C. Do you have any? Is your D > F + C when you have no Captcha and D <= F + C when you have Captcha?
I have zero referrals so I cant test anything with C.

Another formula I can propose that also works for me is considering the Balance B in addition to your D and F
I hypothesize that there is no Captcha IF (D > F) OR (B > 2F), so if your balance was oscillating around 2F, the Captcha would also come and go accordingly...

What do you guys think? Do any of the above formulas work for you?

I'm not complaining, mind you. When it's not recaptcha, it is easy enough to do, I'm just a little puzzled by the odd behavior.

314  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win free Bitcoins every hour! on: December 04, 2017, 12:53:33 AM
First, Accumulate at least 2000 satoshi. EDIT: make that 2048 satoshi, so you would still make profit if you win after the EDIT: 11th loss
Research game theories, betting theories like Martingale
It's harder than it sounds, but stick to your strategy with cool nerves.
Expect to zero your balance a few times before learning how to do the above 3
Shouldn't it be after the 10 losses. 1 +2 +4 +8 +16 +32 +64 +128 +256 +512 +1024 = 2047
the 11th bet of 1024 will be the last chance to win it all back.
This above is the original (unmodified Martingale). Notice that, after your last losing bet of 1024 sat, if the next one was a winner with a bet of 2048, then your profit, after all the stress of the 11 loss streak and almost having a heart attack, your profit would be only 2048 - 2047 = 1 satoshi !!! Sad
That's one of the things each needs to modify in his version of Martingale!

I never said I used basic martingale, I was just saying 2047 only gets you 11 rolls
and the 11th roll will be your last chance to win it all back
If you said the next bet of 2048 could've won it back, then your correct it's the 12th bet
but your starting balance must be minimum 4095  Cool
fyi I started with multiplier of 3 do hi-lo switches, but this method cannot be used straight forward
once a while need to change strategy of different combination multiplier and hi-lo sequences
oh... I understand now, you also modified the bet amount too, not only multiplier
the point is modified martingale with several strategies adapting the house roll pattern
it's not easy.. and you need to control your emotion and use the best strategy after you overcome greed

Oh, I see what ur saying. yea, my math was off. I meant after "11th loss" (12th bet)... I was referring to basic martingale as an example (which doesnt work because at the end if u win, ur profit is whatever your first bet was, i.e 1 satoshi in the above example.

I'm kinda new to the lingo of this. What do you mean by "started with a multiplier of 3"? Does this mean triple the bet every time, or Payout = 3, Win chance=31.67% ?
If you are referring to tripling the bet every time, I think that can be extremely dangerous if you don't have a laaarge balance and u don't start from the minimum bet. I think it's safer to play with the amounts. (Hint: The bet amounts don't have to be common multiples. PM me and ask me for my referral code if u want my secret  Tongue I haven't been able to refer anyoe so far)  Cry

I'm still experimenting with my adapted Martingale. One trick I recently started using to avoid dangerously long streaks is watching the rolled numbers and try to predict a pattern. Usually it;s not easy, but a few times, you could detect a recognizable pattern. Example: if you roll the following sequence of numbers:
13503
24679
39573
45012
You can bet almost safely that the next roll would be higher than 50000

Another example of a recognizable pattern is something like:
49321
51893
46061
54021
32023
You can bet almost safely that the next would be above 6000

Then again, the problem with these patterns is that you never know when they change and switch to another pattern or just another totally irrelevant random number  Roll Eyes

BTW, a nice technique not to lose your cool is stick to a certain daily percentage increase in balance. I carefully increase my balance about by 10% every day. It takes me about 1-2 hours every day, but I just calculated that in if I keep compounding it, I will break even (make up my lost BTC) between 80 and 81 days from today

316  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win free Bitcoins every hour! on: December 03, 2017, 10:20:46 PM

Regarding the captcha, as far as I know you should deposit an amount equal to your free roll earnings and it will be removed from your account. You can see your earnings by clicking Stats -> Personal Stats. For example if you have earned 100 000 satoshis, the captcha will be removed if you deposit 100 000 satoshis, but I recommend you deposit a bit more because the captcha may appear again if you continue to earn using free rolls. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I can confirm that this could be possibly true (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=320959.msg25688240#msg25688240), but a lot of speculation could be made... Is there an official statement somewehere about how the captcha removal actually works?

Why the hell are there 2 topics with the same exact name? This is so confusing!  Huh
317  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win free Bitcoins every hour! on: December 03, 2017, 08:59:36 PM
How much is the minimun for not captcha for roll?.
Until the other day when i withdraw nearly 0.10 bitcoin never see the captcha image, but now i see.
AFAIK, your balance should be greater(double or more) than the roll amount to turn off the captcha. i haven't yet deposited on freebitco.in, i'm going to in few days(small amount) to earn interest as well to turn off the captcha.
You mean the minimum roll amount? I thought it had to be more than double the minimum withdraw amount or something...
In any case, is it removed automatically or is the user supposed to send a request somewhere?

EDIT: after further research on another topic on bitcointalk.org with the same exact name Huh : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=319540.3360
I found some claim that you need to deposit an amount greater than or equal to the free rolls amount you have won so far. Other say that you don't actually need to deposit, as long as your balance is greater than or equal to double the free rolls amount you have accumulated. (you can see this info in Stats -> Personal Stats in your account.)

Is anyone aware of any official statement about this, or is everyone just speculating?

Well, the Captcha or not decision is more complicated than that!

Simply having double the balance (due to winnings) of total free rolls does not work because I have free rolled BTC0.00149102, but my balance is only BTC0.00070584 (so my balance is actually less than half my total free rolls  Tongue. On the other hand, my total deposits so far are BTC1.33296526. So if the Captcha removal requires a deposit double of the amount of total free roll winnings, then it would make sense. But then again, my deposit is greater than the current balance also. But then again, I could speculate a lot more theories with my total deposits amount  Embarrassed




P.S. I bet someone is wishing I was their referral right about now Embarrassed  Tongue
318  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Advantages of bitcoin cloud mining on: December 03, 2017, 07:22:45 PM
Do they really mine bitcoins? It is fake, right? But some of us including me has an experienced to invest in these kind of scheme and gladly make a profit with it and I think that's the advantage of it. But eventually they're becoming scam after a week or a  month.
Are you asking about Hashnest? If so I can speak for them from my experience:

I am 99.9% sure they're mining. It makes perfect sense for one of the major ASIC miner manufacturers (Bitmain Antmienrs) and pools (Antpool) to mine. If someone wants to help me become 99.99% sure or 50% sure, I could provide you info from my payment history and see if we can find proof of mining. (I have no idea how to prove mining or what it looks like).
But, if you were able to manufacture the best and most efficient miners, would you also use it for mining, in addition, to sell it to others?

A lot of people think all cloud mining is a scam, and ask: If you make your own mining equipment, why not use it to mine yourself rather than sell to others?
ANSWER: Like most businesses that need to grow fast, they have to raise capital. One of those ways are issuing shares to their company. In this case, Bitmain, in order to grow fast and make put their Antpool in the top 3 of global hashrate, instead of issuing company shares, they started selling their miners for cloud mining on their Hashnest website for a higher price than they do on their Bitmain website. These extra profits from the demand for Cloud Mining (from customers with high electric cost), allows them to double their profits compared to selling and shipping the miners, allowing them to raise the capital that they needed to R&D and grow their mining operations faster and catch up with top players and stay in top.

Sadly, since they reached the top 3, they don't sell ASIC miners on Hashnest as often as they used to, which also makes sense... If you think about it, if you are already a top dog in mining and its technology, you don't need to accelerate growth anymore and just enjoy 20% of the global hashrate...

They used to list cloud ASIC batches like 3-5 times a year when I invested in them (back when they used to produce the S1, S3, S4...). Recently they have been barely selling any cloud miners and when they do, they get bought off in a few minutes, causing me to miss out on the newer miners... I believe they haven't put up for sale any miners since November 2016...

Of course, there's the hashrate market, where people trade individual hashes (shares of previously bought miners on the Hashnest shop) of various miners (currently S9, S7 and L3 hashes) using buy and sell orders just like exchange and stock markets. Those hashes do generate bitcoin revenues, but you rarely get ROI. In the market you could make ROI by trading (buy low, sell high). Also if you have enough hasesh of a miner (example 12500 GH/s of an S9) when the miner is not profitable anymore, you get the option of having it shipped to you for a fee rather than it disappearing completely like in ponzi/scam cloud miners.

If anyone knows how to find out where they announce (if they do anymore) new ASIC release dates, or how to sign up for some kind of notification, plzzzzzzzzz tell me! Thanks

Speaking of Captchas. I don't have them on my account. Its great, but I don't know why. Any idea how to remove captcha on from the sister doge site?
Captchas are so annoying and I'm so bad with them!
I have bad eyesight, and most of the times I roll, I would have to wear my glasses just to see the the captcha, and even then I get it wrong half the times.  Angry
When I'm on my smartphone? Forgetaboutit!
All this caused me not to use the sister website much... Captcha is just too time consuming for me.
I currently have 13.59 doge there... Sorry if this is a little off-topic, but I have already submitted a ticket about a week ago... no reply. and I can't find an active forum for it...

Shouldn't it be after the 10 losses. 1 +2 +4 +8 +16 +32 +64 +128 +256 +512 +1024 = 2047
the 11th bet of 1024 will be the last chance to win it all back.
This above is the original (unmodified Martingale). Notice that, after your last losing bet of 1024 sat, if the next one was a winner with a bet of 2048, then your profit, after all the stress of the 11 loss streak and almost having a heart attack, your profit would be only 2048 - 2047 = 1 satoshi !!! Sad
That's one of the things each needs to modify in his version of Martingale!

If you play to retrieve the lost BTC, you will finish losing even more. The house edge is here to make you lose at the end. And with martingale strategy (or any other one as well), you will lose more after your nth loss in a row than you've earned after every 0 to n-1 losses streak before a win you had before.
not always true, in a provably fair game there's a chance to win more. don't get greedy and control your emotion
once I lost 0.01 BTC then deposited 0.013 BTC and after almost a month I did manage to get up to .058 BTC
but because of greed I started initial bet higher and higher as my balance get higher
then one time I can't control my emotion and can't think straight, I kept hoping the next roll will be green
I ended up with (I think) 20+ reds losing streak and left me with 0.003 BTC
and it didn't last long... 2 hrs later I busted (after claiming free hourly roll and playing multiply a bit)
I could've withdrew and secured my initial deposit (0.01+.013) and still have 0.035 to play with
again... greed... I was thinking higher balance can get me more winnings  Tongue
Has anyone noticed, that once you reach or overpass your goal, you get too comfortable and lose control of greed? It happened to me like like 3 times  Grin WHats up with that??? any psychologists around?

happened numerous times again afterward when I play with accumulated faucet amount
and just now after a week started from 0 to ~18000 satoshi, then busted
again because of greed & emotion, I encountered bad streak but overcame it and lost only 500 sats
but I want to get that 500 sats back fast and stupidly raise initial bet and continue losing all ~17500, busted! Cheesy
- Do not let yourself get greedy. It's better to play small amounts and be safe than to risk high amounts and be sorry. Patience!
- Even with the best technique and the coolest nerves, the game depends highly on luck and odds are against you. So if you consider yourself unlucky (like me) better not invest more
If you can't control your emotions than you shouldn't gamble at all.
In conclusion (In my opinion),
modified martingale "could" work but must be adapted to personal style and house roll patterns
basic unmodified martingale will get you straight to busted in no time
If you can't control your emotions and gamble... don't expect to win, do it for enjoyment,
accept the consequences... but if you actually win, think of it as bonus
Good advice. I would add:
Expect a tendency to become the greediest bastard on the planet once you have reached your goal (or made more BTC than you expected), and have some countermeasures to self-control  Smiley
