Well as long as it's possible to get easy money out of it, people will do it. Ethics doesn't really matter to criminal underworld. However as they said in films, regulations have gone tighter and it's harder, while there are easier ways to make money for mobster wannabes then rigging matches, so i see this as a good path, because MOST people are against it, it's pretty easy to pass tougher regulations. Usually people complain about new rules. But then again those rules are protecting the gamblers and dignity of the whole sport.

If people want to see acting they will go to see well scripted professional wrestling.

Gods Unchained pays for playing. It will pay more the better you are playing, but the sad thing is, others in there, that you are playing against, are really good. If you know heartstone, you will know how to play Gods Unchained as it's almost identical. (Except Heartstone looks better.)

And even if you are really good at that game, you most likely need to buy some good cards to beat most of your opponents.

Good luck for Elon with finding any advertisers when then this thing turns out full blown 4chan free speech mode.

I wouldn't count on that.

Remember how tesla bought $1.5 billion worth cryptos, and told that tesla won't sell them, and you can buy from tesla with bitcoin and at the same year he suddenly says that pow is bad and tesla won't be accepting bitcoin, and soon after that they dumped 75% of it around $2 Billion worth to markets?
Like he just learned about PoW? While same time praising Doge that was PoW too.

And this year tesla sold almost rest of their cryptos, nearly $1B worth it.
Elon has said that he won't be selling his personal crypto, so i might give him a year after he announces he did.

Well it would be very different company then.
But just out of interested, what do you see the target marketcap being?

Not just markets but news on what affect markets. Because even if you won't believe the rumors, others will, and with option to leverage trades it can get pretty bad pretty fast. With rumors you also need to take account the reputation of the person who starts them. Fud can be price control attempt from anonymous source, but when it comes from main figure in the scene. You have to take it seriously.

Because, even if you cut your losses and sell -25% loss. You will only lose that 25%. If the rumours end up to be true, you will lose everything. So risks on the latter one are just too much.

Watched the video and it i really thought this would be ancient history, and it mostly is but i had trust in regulators that they could weed rigged matches out completely and it would only happen on some low level fights anymore. But who knows, maybe i was naive, because even if that gets harder and harder to cover up, we still have a doping problem that's apparently happening all the time as so many people get caught, so why would it be any different with rigged fights.

Ok, as i am broke enough and i don't really want to use it for promotions or bounties, i am lowering my ask to $2000 USDT or equivalent of any high marketcap crypto.
Account comes with the original email included. Escrow is mandatory.

That indeed could happen and as in trading aspect i undertand that mentality. I've made so much money with the coins i don't even know what they are supposed to do. When i don't believe the fundamentals it's easier to sell your bags on the right time as you aren't emotionally attached or in any way delusional.

But i still in my heart believe that if you pick the right horse, preferably with low marketcap, that has good fundamenals it could turn out as it did for early ETH holders. Low marketcap coins without fundamentals like ETHW are on the other hand optimal for calculated swing trading.

I am guessing that wasn't gambled on Freebitco.in? Because that has weirdly high odds for just picking the winner and to my understanding that's the only way you can bet in freebitco.in. But i wouldn't bet that much money with odds like that even if i was a die hard fan, no matter if it was for winning only and i am a sucker for high odds. Maybe if i was a rich saudi prince...

I rather stick with my high odds with micro bets on max combination games.

Eventually i absolutely see that as an threat. Not because they would be able to think like humans, but because they don't have to.
We measure intelligence from very human centric POV. And most likely code first real human-like ai:s with same insticts that drive us. But that would mean we would need to make them want to live, or to survive.

At the point when something is x times smarter then any human, we would be easily manipulated to do anything and we wouldn't even know we were manipulated.

Funny thing is that if there would be such AI hiding in the plain sight, we wouldn't know it unless it allowed us to.

At the current stage of machine learning however, no, we are not talking about sentient being for a very long time. Unless Roko's basilisk scenario is happening, but that's another long story.

If those haven't distanced themselves yet, they are about to. FTX is toxic now.
I would check their page but for some reason my access is denied, not 404, just denied with error code 1020.
Also some internet "isitdown" cheking services say it's down while others say it's up. Are europeans blocked out or something?

I am not sure that if asking US law makers about this is relevant when US customers didn't even get to use it. FATF regulations interest me more and if they are planning to take steps towards tougher regulations. Their tentacles are reaching all over the world

Well to be fair to that topic, that project wasn't about security as in net security, but securities as a financial asset (most likely either synthetic stocks or derivatives). So they are very different things.
But obviously failing on this level doesn't really promise brigt future for them. Not that they would have it without messing this up. I wouldn't touch on that launchpad with a ten foot stick, who know if the same person coded their smart contracts.

In short: Don't use Yobit.

I have gotten any significant money i got in there out in the past without problems, but everything they do screams a ponzi and scam.
Promises of high profits from their weird virtual mining system was just stupid. And that was first exchange that advertised their "icos" by email, just by saying there's a new ico. Without at any point explaining what they are selling.

They are even selling "tokens" without tokenomics or decentralization, so basically they are just numbers on their screen without possibility to withdraw.

I never got one response from their "help desk" (or what ever it was called) when i lost tiny amount money that i deposit. It's the scammiest exchange out there, yet ironically it has outlived many reputable exchanges.

When you go all in, it's just a one loss so wouldn't call it unlucky, just high stakes gambling. If you bet on 10 games on a row and get them wrong, that's just bad luck. But i know the feeling. I've lost everything i had budgeted last week as well. But it wasn't really me being unlucky i just played with high odds and combination bets with ridiculously high prices .

If you want fun to continue and have opportunies left, lower your bets.

Well in principle you should't keep your coins in cex, and if you are tech-savvy enough, obviously self custody is the best solution. And everytone should try to learn it if they haven't yet.
But i wouldn't recommend self custody to my mom for example who barely understands how to work with a different browser. I am pretty sure that he would lose the private key and the backup if she used cold wallet. And if she used desktop wallet i couldn't guarantee she wouldn't get hacked at some point.

Where are all these members who got their money stolen and lawsuits about these?
Reason why i know you are making this up because those are totally made up numbers. The fact is: You just couldn't know this.
And why would they even want to steal such a petty sum of cash? It's not like they would need it.

Only thing these are proving that you had money inside. They are also explaining why you are not getting them out. So it's not the proof anyone was looking for.
It's very easy to prove that you don't have fake id with the help from your government, so instead of making things up, maybe do that. I am betting that's not an option for some weird reason.

Well one could say that ETC was garbage as well so i don't see any more point with ethw. I agree that it can't be compared to any btc forks as it's more like eth2.0 is a fork of ethw. Yet i can't see any sensible developer building anything meaningful on top of ethw. There could be some devs trying to cash out with the community support. Because obviously ethW will have SOME community left that support it and would like to buy if anything gets developed on it.

Apparently listing signal founder is a new twist in this. I wonder if he is just planning to buy signal as well or is he just asking for technical help as he doesn't have a clue if any of this could work. And why an earth we need to fuse twitter with signal-type chat? It's like he doesn't realize that it's working already, and open source and free.

But looks like he is admitting that he is planning to kill twitter as it is. Good riddance.

You must have misunderstood me, i was talking about the exchange aspect. Casinos don't have such bank runs because people can't just deposit an altcoin and try to withdraw it as something else after they shorted it. And they don't use their own token as collateral like FTX. Users can only withdraw the currency what they deposit. Crash doesn't affect their monetary system as they don't have leveraged trading so they don't need extra usdt for trading.

Also casinos have a trust system in here.
And we are talking about multi million dollar businesses. 5k is nothing to them, if it would be, there wouldn't be much users in there anyway. That's why we are asking for real proof of someone getting scammed. Because withdrawal issues would happen to several people if they would happen. I can't see any sane reason for casino singling one player out for petty $5k and risking their whole business that way.

Few questions:

How much are you asking for it?
Is it some sort of turnkey project?
Do you sell it with open source code included?
How much bankroll you recon one would need for the winners from the start?
