3141  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Exchanges not accepting mixed BTC, so is BTC no longer fungible? on: June 11, 2020, 06:19:44 AM
This was the case for a long time, for example exchanges refused were closing accounts of customers who made deposits from their crypto gambling accounts. This can be explained by the fact that crypto casinos are unregulated and can be used for money laundering, so coins that come from them might be dirty.

From a practical point of view, there should be ways to "clean" your coins. Maybe it's enough to just move them between your addresses to build up a bit of history after the mixing. Or maybe you can deposit it to some exchange or other service that doesn't care about mixing and then withdraw from them. It all will not work if you will be personally approached and requested to explain the origin of your coins, but it might be enough to avoid triggering the automated chain analysis tools.
Isn't this the exact reason why exchanges implement KYC? I mean, more and more exchanges are asking for user identification. They are doing this in order to keep the user database clean. They are doing so that users don't launder money using their exchange. The KYC process helps them identify those who might be laundering money using their exchange and hand over the information to the law enforcement officers.

The only government that can manipulate bitcoin is the US government  Smiley But I see no reason to believe that they are doing this because there is no need for it. Bitcoin has actually been entered into the legal field - everywhere it requires KYC, exchanges track suspicious transactions, etc. Bitcoin does not represent anything dangerous for the government.
Like why do you think the US government can manipulate bitcoin? It is a decentralized network and coin. No one can control it. Stop listening to those stupid conspiracies and educated yourself Smiley.
Yeah, exchanges implements the KYC function so that their user database remains clean.

I am pretty much this was because of fat fingers, but how an earth there's no security measures for this kind of thing? It's 2020 already and after seeing this kind of mistakes, i am pretty sure that ETH adoption is further away. Just one warning message informing about the possible huge mistake could have saved millions for this guy.
I remember reading an article about it in the morning. The fee was received by probably SparkPool (the name was something like that). To my surprise, they said they have face this kind of event previously and dealt with it. The fee hasn't been distributed among the miners yet. They are currently investing what has happened and how it happened.
So looks like they are going to do something about it.
3144  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: GAMBLING SITE INVESTMENT on: June 10, 2020, 07:47:08 PM
I feel like the risk is really big for the low profit you are getting. The problem with investing in casinos is the whales who came and take big amounts from them. Today if a whale goes to the casino where you have your investment and walks away with more than 5btc then you will go to negative. It is about time to see that happens. So, be careful and play it smart.
This is not how it works. The casino usually implements some sort of rules so that a single whale cannot come and wipe out the bankroll thus also protecting the users fund. They usually set a maximum bet win limit based on the total percentage of the bankroll. So, one single whale can no way win all the coins in the bankroll. The more they win, the lower, the max win will be.
I would never say its a risky investment. Remember in the long run, the house always win, so you will also be making profit in the long run.
3145  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Las Vegas Casinos are open - end of the Pandemic era. on: June 10, 2020, 06:29:31 PM
The pandemic isn't over. They are just easing down the lock down. The casinos are taking all precaution to make sure distance are maintained, but I doubt they are going to maintained as intended. Though, I do agree its a really bad idea. A single infected person (those asymptomatic virus carriers are more dangerous) can end up infecting tens of others all while playing.
Sadly, there are quite a lot of people here who aren't taking this seriously. When things starts to get even far worse (it is already worse!) and beyond repair, then people will start believing the deadly affects of the virus.
3146  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ninety nine percent of new projects are money grabbers on: June 09, 2020, 08:16:58 PM
To me many new projects are here today just for your money, you invest in them and you make them rich, that's why we keep seeing unqualified people becoming developers, it's always about the money, I wish crypto projects are much harder to built, maybe only few scam projects will exists...... I know how easy it is to built erc20 token and website too, God have mercy on investors, I hope solution comes soon
Lol, you think those scammers actually build a project? And do you really think it is easy to develop such projects? Those scammers don't build anything. You won't even find a working demo platform from them. All they will provide you with is some bullshit ideas. They will use marketing strategies to make those bullshit ideas sound (and those tokens) really awesome to you!
Its a good thing that it is easy to set up those projects. Though it is your responsibility to check if the project is legit or fake.
3147  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Coca Cola going to join Cryptocurrencies Australia and New Zeland on: June 09, 2020, 07:46:17 PM
Vending machines across Australia and New Zealand will soon accept cryptocurrency, thanks to a partnership between Coca-Cola Amatil and digital asset integrator Centrapay.

https://www.zdnet.com/article/you-can-now-buy-a-coke-with-cryptocurrency-across-australia-and-new-zealand/
It is actually a really good news, but the article doesn't mention which coin will be used (or i missed it. Just skimmed through it when it started to talk about the virus). I doubt it is going to be bitcoin. Would be stupid to wait for like 3-5 mins (and more than an hour during heavy load or pay ridiculous fee) in front of the vending machine for just a soda.
Highly likely they are going to use some altcoin.
3148  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is third party Bitcoin services really into Bitcoin for the technology? on: June 06, 2020, 02:55:50 PM
We have seen this multiple times before... These third party services start by drawing customers into their services, by promising them freedom to use and store their bitcoins as they want and then when they have acquired enough customers, they turn into a Bank or regulated financial institution.  Roll Eyes

We have seen this happening with "Circle" and the latest service …. "Xapo"  - ( https://blog.xapo.com/changes-to-our-business-and-service/ )

I guess there are more profit to be made when you are a Bank. Now you can over charge people for transactions and additional services, like the Banks in the Fiat system.  Angry

It is sad to see how these companies are exploiting the Crypto currency community with these Trojan tactics and we are just too willing to fall for that.

                                                                              Who will be next?
I guess circumstances made them take those steps. Xapo and Circle had a really good user base (probably back in 2015 Xapo was doing crazy promotion and people over here would talk about xapo everyday). They had no other option but to change their policy or else they would have to end up shutting themselves down (probably the legislature is to be blamed?). I don't see any other reason for them to "hurt" their own business! If everything was fine on their end, they wouldn't change a thing.
3149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which is your favorite gambling game? on: June 06, 2020, 02:49:49 PM
I prefer playing games that are fast and easy. Those which does not require much of a skill. Skill based gambling games gets me burned out after few sessions.
Games like Dice, Slot, lotto, Roulette and minesweeper kinda falls into this category. Not much of a work, all you have to do is click and hope you get really really lucky!
In case of p2p games, I would prefer playing poker.
3150  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What type of gambling do you want? on: June 06, 2020, 02:05:21 PM
Dice and Crash are the favorite for many when it comes to online gambling and I am not different.
Dice is fast and Crash is social. I would be much more fascinated if someone somehow be able to combine the good of those two to create something that is fast as well as social. Such format would surely be a hit.
If you want to socialize and gamble at the same time, then you can try casinos that offer live chat while gambling. You will be able to gamble and chat with your friends, share bets and probably create some friendly challenges.
I do like the idea of dice and crash at the same time. I mean there can be a game like, people keeps on betting for a certain period, and the user with winning riskiest bet wins everything (the loss from other users).
3151  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Home Court advantage = Not an advantage now because of no-live audience? on: June 06, 2020, 01:43:45 PM
Yeah, true. The stats speaks, team playing at home are always seem to have better chance to win than playing away. I guess it is because of those all psychological affect. They tend to perform better as the crowd cheers for them, being used to playing at the same court and referee being bias (its kinda true  Roll Eyes). So even without the crowd, the home team still be getting some advantage. I am talking about NBA over here.
3152  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Any freelancers here that use crypto/blockchain? on: June 06, 2020, 05:50:21 AM
You should visit the service section of this forum and you will see so many people were working from hom but they were getting payment in bitcoin or altcoin form.

I have been getting my payment in stable coin form too.

i may try to take a look at concordium too.
I remember someone suggesting Latium on this forum. I did give it a visit (no digital art or anything related Sad ). You can work on small tasks or projects and get paid in crypto or fiat (depends on the person who hires you). Though, to get and bid on most of the task, you will have to have a verified profile. So, not much of a privacy the OP is looking for.
People on the forum were also saying other to be careful, since there are also "fake" projects or tasks that don't either pay or rejects your work for no reason.
3153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you borrow money as your bankroll if you trust your skills in gambling? on: June 05, 2020, 07:36:16 PM
Right to say loan taking is not good for those who do not have skill about gambling but so may people I saw who has become millers with gambling and after winning they return the loan but we should take this risk only when we become fully satisfied about the growth and power of gambling skills. When you become sure that you won't lose take Loan but after all you are risking your money, I wish everyone end up winning in gambling.
Doesn't matter if you are good at "gambling" or have some mind blowing "skills", you still shouldn't borrow or take loans from anyone or the bank just to gamble them. You are not only risking yourself financially, but other peoples money too! You should always keep this in mind that there is always a chance of losing the money.
Anyway, if someone has good skill on gambling, why would they need to borrow money in the first place? What happened to the money they had?
3154  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: "NEW NORMAL" Betting on: June 05, 2020, 07:31:49 PM
The certainty of the vaccine is still gray.. we can't wait until the vaccine is found in order to start a sports match.  I see some countries have relaxed "LOCKDOWN" because it is no longer effective and submitted "NEW NORMAL".  I read that the English league will start again, this is the best news;

Quote

billions of dollars have been lost (betting, broadcasting rights, tickets, and merchandises) because sporting events have been postponed waiting for vaccines to appear. sports matches without spectators must be done (to support "NEW NORMAL" & and slow the spread of COVID-19)..

I was very bored watching the old football match and then repeated so on and so on sports TV stations Cheesy.  so that the "stay at home" program is effective, entertainment (sports matches) must be continued..
Even if the vaccine is out, it is going to take months before half of the population gets vaccinated! So, maybe we have to wait for like another year for a medical end to this pandemic.
As far as I know, most of the sports event are supposed to resume. NBA seasons is about to return and will pick up play really soon (probably by the end of July)!
So what is this "new normal" betting you are talking about?
3155  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best altcoin ??? on: June 05, 2020, 07:21:29 PM
Hello friends,
I just want to know that is there any good altcoin which will give big insane profit in near future? Coin that in undervalued now.
Please give suggestion..
Don't listen to the random suggestion. Look at the thread, you will see people shilling or promoting shit coins. Again, you will always receive biased suggestion. People will convince you to invest in coins that they have invested in, no matter how shit that coin is.
No one knows which coin is going to give you "insane profit". Just do your own research, looks for coins that you think will be suitable and invest on those.
3156  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Giving away too much quantities of tokens in bounties on: June 05, 2020, 07:13:07 PM
I've seen one or two bounty campaigns on here with massive token allocations for bounty participants, I'm wondering how this won't affect the value of the token, I believe giving away too many quantities of tokens can easily ruin the value of the token, most especially bounties that are doing 4 Rounds of campaigns, what's your take on this???
What is the supply of the token? I don't think any project would be giving large amount of supply to the bounty hunters. They know that if they giveaway higher percentage of the tokens to the bounty hunters, the price is going to dip.
Check the supply and then you will know if they are overpaying or not. If you think they are overpaying in tokens, then don't just join it.
3157  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The best time to buy is NOW!!!! on: June 05, 2020, 06:50:14 PM
Getting set for the next push up in the crypto world i viewed the top 100 coins on coinmarketcap and i have identified about 5 different projects i am definitely going to get stocked up as the year goes by.

They are all selling at a very good price now. The best time to buy is now
Projects and coins aren't the same. I think you are talking about tokens.
Anyway, hope you did proper analysis before you start investing. And try to make this thread more informative. What are the reasons you think that the price is going to increase this month? Why did you choose those coins (you didn't even mention which tokens and coins you have invested on or interested). This way, you will be able to make proper discussion, and you might also get more suggestion based on your investmet.
3158  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ask Google: What is the best performing asset in 2020 on: June 05, 2020, 06:06:38 PM
It is not google that answers your question. I mean, it does, but it uses some algorithm and stuffs to get the answer for you. Like others says, since most of the articles (with good SEO) and statements states that bitcoin is the best, hence google also says bitcoin is the best.
If articles starts saying that bitcoin is the worst even if it is not, then you will see that google will say bitcoin is indeed the worst.
I would say never to just take anything for fact just looking at the small snippet (not just for bitcoin, for every case. Read the whole article first).
3159  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Trading on exchanges inside your very own wallet on: June 04, 2020, 06:08:31 PM
If traders and holders can trade on Exchange in their wallet that they own the private keys it will reduce exchange hacks, I'm not talking about dex because this idea is better than DEX, I know some wallets like coinomi and atomic support insta swap using external platforms like shapeshift or uniswap kinda but just think about it

This is something I'm looking forward to, while many might think it's impossible I think it's damn possible, what do you think
No matter what way you use, hackers will always find out alternative path to breach everything. Don't trust any exchange saying that they are 100% secured.
That is why, as soon as you are done trading, move your funds to your own secured wallet! Don't keep it anywhere near an exchange or a wallet that is connect to the exchange.
3160  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The best device for online gambling. on: June 04, 2020, 06:06:50 PM
Well,  many of us have already appreciated the benefits of online gambling whether it be casino or even poker. But what device is better suit for it, mobile or  big screen monitor connected to PC?

I'm feeling awfully uncomfortable being connected  via mobile, even the big mobiles of 6.8-inch screen  are not entirely satisfactory. Therefore I largely at my 32-inch & 4K  monitor when gambling online, primary  the slots machines. And what about you?

I don't mind playing on any device as long as it works. Different people might prefer different platforms, depending on what is available to them.
Those who travel a lot might prefer playing on a mobile platforms, while others who works a lot in front of the computer might want to play on a desktop.

You had a horrible experience playing on phone probably because the casino you were playing on wasn't optimized for mobile phones.
