Funny how people are blaming changetip for being "centralised". Guess what, their goal was to enable instant tips on social media, not to become a high value, anonymous payment processor. FFS, they enabled people to send bitcoin tips to those who didn't even know what Bitcoin is. By that, changetip have probably done more in promoting Bitcoin than any other business. Not every service needs to be decentralised.

And no, sending small tips (micro transactions) directly to btc address don't work, it's horribly ineffective and uneconomical.

I wonder how many of members so concerned about centralisation are actually willing to sacrifice comfort and convenience and start using decentralised services. Open Bazaar failed to get any serious traction, probably same goes for bitsquare (not sure though), and this post it's also pretty revealing.

ChangeTip, few years back one of the most promising Bitcoin startups (raised $3.5m seed funds) failed to get traction and will be shutting down soon.

So much for now for the social media tipping for masses. All the users are encouraged to withdraw any remaining balances.
It's a shame to see them go, but you can't operate if you don't generate revenue. I think it's one of those cases when getting massive cash injection at the start does more damage than good to the business idea.

Ps. Dogetipbot seems still to be working tho 

You can find all you need here:

these stats are for Monero only.

Overall profitability looks very good at almost 2% compared to expected 0.5% but the activity is rather low (daily wagered), with occasional spikes.

Looking at the last week's activity, it would make more sense to invest BTC rather than XMR. Weekly wager/total site investment ratio was 129% for BTC, while only 21% for XMR. This means investing the same amount (in USD terms) you'll get over 6 times better expected return when investing bitcoins.

Hi, I have some questions regarding your affiliate program:

1 - What happens if referred users bet with altcoins? Will you convert commission to BTC or do you keep separate records for each crypto? If the latter, what are the minimum withdrawal limits?

2 - As per below (from your website):
Is the future bets commission only paid if referred user uses the same btc address or email, or do you also use cookies?

3 - Could you provide a current list of blocked countries/jurisdictions?

Thanks

On the subject: is there any policy regarding advertising other businesses via avatar + personal text? I guess what's not forbidden is allowed, but common sense suggests that Bitmixer probably wouldn't be very happy if someone advertised their direct competitors (other mixers).

Irrelevant. Anyone involved in multiple business activities, or investing in startups etc will likely have some failed businesses in his record. Vast majority of newly formed companies go under within first 2 years (~75% for the UK, last time I checked).

Anyhow, since the election is over, I'm locking the poll.

Results:

Total Voters: 57; H Clinton - 19 (33.3%); D Trump - 38 (66.7%)

Thanks to all for participating.

Not really. The site has been offered for sale previously, but since there was no serious offer (afaik) everything stayed the same and there was no drama. Since it's clear that investors' funds are not part of the deal, there's no reason to panic.


So if there are no other offers, will you be considering the BTC1,500 one or is it too low? Was it made by anyone with good trust record?


Not sure has the promo already started or was it just test-run, but I already received an email with promo-code for 0.01 btc. Thanks for that!

That was likely a lucky mistake. He must have had entered "2" in the 'win chance' box instead of 'payout'. Looking at his previous bets and his immediate reaction, I don't believe he did that intentionally. Note that the house edge was almost at 8% for that bet.

What can you do? Have you got any skills? If so, you could provide some freelance type service in exchange for BTC, or for $ and then just buy BTC with that.

If you're not skilled in any area, you can, you know, just look for a part-time min wage job (or similar, ie. become Uber driver etc) and use your earnings to buy bitcoins, if that's what you want.

As posted above, some of the US election bets had to be processed manually, so I just want to make sure that they have finished with it before sending email to customer support. Maybe there's nothing wrong with my bet after all.

Edit: Bet is settled now and payment received.

Thanks for clarifying.
So since my 2016 election bet is still showing as 'confirmed' (not 'settled'), does that mean you're still in the process of manually processing bets, or is there something wrong and should I contact customer support?

Is there any way to check which address I requested the winnings to be sent to? I don't see it neither in email or on bet status page.

Will the bet status change from 'confirmed' to 'settled' or 'paid' when it's settled?

He did it, absolute madman. Today Indian Prime Minister N. Modi pulled 500 and 1000 rupees banknotes out of circulation. From midnight, those will no longer be a legal tender. That's what I call a short notice.

Official reason: too much "black money" in the economy. Unofficial: to force people to declare their cash-stash and pay tax on it if they haven't.

Assuming you're talking about addresses generated by your new Mycelium wallet (not about importing from other wallets, as referred to by Millionero above) then yes, it's possible. You get new receiving address each time, as re-using addresses is less secure, but you can see previous addresses (and use them again) when you highlight your account and click sign message (top right), you will see all your addresses listed, just copy the one you want to re-use.

ps. I'm talking about android version.



I hear you. You're not the only one. What pisses me of equally to the high fees, is unpredictability, you can't really plan your txs ahead. Sending small amounts (i.e $5 worth) with normal priority and paying almost $1/tx just makes no sense.

You're lucky that you noticed beforehand, I use 'normal' priority and tend to never check the fee amount, as so far they've been reasonable, time to change my habits I guess.

No bank would ever provide you a loan for the purpose of crypto trading, at best you could just apply for a standard, personal 'consumption' loan secured by your salary.

But you don't even need that, since most of exchanges are now offering margin trading. So if someone claims to be successful in trading, then he could accumulate enough own funds relatively quickly, without asking for crowdfunding.

That's unless they're talking about more advanced stuff, i.e. organising pump & dumps, then it would make more sense. But yeah, I'll stay out of it anyway.

Pick one.

That's merely ~11% of the minimum goal, and the most attractive period to invest (20% discount) is over. I wish the Inchain team all the best, but things are not looking great. The only hope is that couple of whales will show up and save the day. But logic dictates that anyone who is interested has already invested in 20% discount period. Hope I'm wrong.

The funny part is that the claim that Recyclix doesn't do any recycling themselves (apparently they're just crowdfunding platform now) came directly from Recyclix staff. See posts above.
They cornered themselves when trying to explain the legal status of their offer.

1- They can't claim that they buy/process something on your behalf, as even 5 year old would know that it's not feasible to buy and start processing almost immediately, not to mention buying forklift trucks etc. They even stated in their shipment policy that: "The User does not receive rights over the waste, recycling materials, granules, or equipment that he or she purchased using funds from his or her Account."

2- They can't claim they offer any kind of investment or asking for loans as that would require them to obtain license from financial regulators in each country.

So they try to dodge any questions with "we're just crowdfunding platform", which is laughable as crowdfunding is just a way of raising funds, and depending on how those funds are meant to be used and what the customers are promised, they'd still likely be classed as financial service company.

tl;dr Don't ask sbogovac to make sense out of it, he's just pointing inconsistencies. Ask Recyclix directly what is that they do (or claim to do) and why they contradict themselves on FB and in videos.

You're doing it wrong. You need to be cheaper than competition. Cut it to 400 btc, or do "2 vulnerabilities for 600 limited offer" or something.
