Thank you to Moneypot.com investors our max win per bet is now over 5.44 BTC jump in https://betterbets.io today to discover a superior casino and betting experience!

That is amazing. The moneypot bankroll was something around 460 when I checked it yesterday, and now it is 545 and my share has been significantly diluted...

Some investors divest, win more BTC, then reinvest it all. I've seen this happen on multiple occasions, Smiley.

On a good note, after almost three months of being in the -, I'm almost at a 0% profit (which is awesome! It means we're on a general up trend investment-wise).

Hey LF, in your signature it is advertised that there is a bonus for Royal Flush, is it only for ring games or the tourneys are included in it because just the other day:



I think that deserves a big bonus.  Wink

One more suggestion, I think the players who are absent on tourneys should be kicked out, they sit till the end until they run out of chips and it is very boring and the blinds times should be decreased, it goes way slow.

That should just be for ring games only. Never heard of a site giving bonuses like this in tournaments, :p.

Paper wallet is the best. Make sure it is generated using a offline computer. Do not use brainwallets (my personal suggestion).

Back when the 'horse battery staple...' phrase was known, many people are using brainwallets as their main wallets. It is a very good and secure wallet, if you can memorize your phrase and you're sure that the 'randomness' in that wallet cannot be cracked by computers.

easiest way for a secure brainwallet is download electrum and let it create seed words. those are not crackable, at least not for now.

Those are MORE crackable than creating your own. Theirs come from a select database. When you do it yourself, the possibilities are endless.

Closed permanently, I've visited it just earlier to see if it still exists. Sad And to those planning to create a brainwallet, don't use common words to create a passphrase. Humans have been proven to be not that good at randomization. Anyway, do you know any sites similar to brainwallet.github.io that can still be accessed?
is brainwallet.org different or same with brainwallet.io??
for website brainwallet.org is closed permanently, but for brainwallet.io is still open and can be accessed.

brainwallet.org closed down after someone at defcon announced the release of a 'brainwallet cracker'. To me it's closing was symbolic though, such wallets are as seemingly as secure as they were before the release.

I'd love to see how these are cracked. You can have one word or a hundred. There are millions of words. You can do it in English or another language. You can do it literally or phonetically. There are gazillions of possibilities. It should be harder to crack a brain wallet (that isn't obvious) than it is a 30-character password (that also isn't obvious).

I prefer using a brainwallet on your local language with different capitalization, symbols and other stuffs. To be able to produce a library of all the possibilities to crack a single brainwallet, you must have terrabytes of data, ranging from the English language to any other language possible. So the release of a brainwallet cracker shouldn't be that much of a problem, given that there are still a lot more ways to produce a genuin brainwallet passphrase without simply relying to the common English words/phrases.

You can also mix it up, using multiple languages, different capitalization, special chars, and both literal and phonetic words. It's impossible to crack. The only ones that would be are those that are obvious. Or the "Horse battery staple..." because that one's been shared for years.

I could never use this service, if you do; you are taking a very big risk. While it seems great, I definitely dont want to go to jail. I wish there was a similar service, but legal and very cheap. This kind of thing really hurts the image of Bitcoin and its efforts to become mainstream.

I wouldn't use anything like this, either, but let's face it -- Bitcoin or cash, this will happen regardless. People need to quit acting like nobody has ever used cash for nefarious purposes. But does everyone go around saying "USD? NO. PEOPLE USE THAT FOR DRUGS"? No.

Huge +1. I've never heard of this method being used before, but it's a great idea. Did you come up with this from somewhere else or did you get the idea on your own? This is a huge step forward for obfuscation of addresses.

I independently came up with it, but I'm sure it's been proposed many times before. I know a lot of people have worked on coin selection ideas that make change amounts difficult to distinguish from the sending amounts, but in practice it's very difficult to do that well. On the other hand, having multiple change addresses makes it easy to have them completely ambiguous with the actual withdrawal, at the expense of making the transaction a little bigger and occasionally spend-linking a few extra outputs together.

(The other disadvantage being that transactions with 3 or more outputs are relatively uncommon, so I can't use them too much or it will be characteristic of a MP withdrawal)

It started off when I was playing around with blockseer on MP and some other sites, and it was a bit surreal to see that in what seemed like ~99% of the cases you could build up a pretty accurate picture of the hot wallet, purely by tracking transactions and deducing which was the change and not. I'm pretty sure that with enough effort, it would be quite easy for someone (e.g. coinbase or circle?) to build quite an accurate idea of what is a deposit and withdrawal (but not really link them together).

As another benefit, the code now monitors the size of the hot wallet and actually automatically spills it over into cold storage (using bip32 addresses) which avoids the other potentially privacy damaging sweep operation =)

Really cool idea. I think this should be displayed somewhat prominently when making a withdrawal, though. Some sites in the past have had issues when making a deposit that had multiple outputs to it, and would ignore the deposit altogether as a result. I can't think of the big one I did this with, but I learned when I withdrew from the original SWC (which had like 50 outputs linked together) and never saw my transaction show up on one of the exchanges.

Starting to really see the effects of difficulty here. But so far, it looks like the next boost is going to be small, which is a plus.

Are you able to delay your payments so you don't keep getting weekly payments of a couple BTM?

I'm still happy with the proceeds ATM. About the weekly payments: i manually request a weekly payment, i don't think accumining does auto-payouts Smiley (maybe that's something they can comment on?)

Ahh, cool. I like manual more just because you can keep from getting a flood of smaller payments. Thanks for that info, Smiley. And yeah, right now things look good. Appears to be a sub-year full ROI if things keep on this path.

They're different. Brainwallet.org was a much better site than any others I've found. That said, it looks like you can use Brainwallet.io to do generation as well if that's what you're after.
3170  Economy / Digital goods / Re: luka's MONEY METHOD $$$ EARN 1000+$ IN A MONTH $$$ LIMITED EDITION on: September 21, 2015, 04:28:43 AM
It is a 'crafty' method to make some money. Basically as Erkallys said it's a buy low and sell high method nothing of new.

So essentially it's just an overview of how every other business (read: millions of them) earns their money, :p.

We can say it like that too but I give you all the resources and secrets for success

I assume that you are the next Bill Gates or something along the lines if you have 'all the resources and secrets for success.' Why would you sell a method which earns you a lot? That would actually make a competition to you if you are the only one making money out of it. And market is big? I wonder what market are you trying to sell to.  Roll Eyes

Based on other posts here, I believe I've already locked down on the general idea of it. Basically, you're buying things cheaper (i.e., in bulk) and reselling like a store. This would also explain the whole idea that the market is big enough to hold more people (as there are ALWAYS new items being made, and more than enough room for a lot of sellers).

Now that makes sense. So it seems that you'll buy things wholesale then sell it per piece. That explains it, though it will be kind of difficult to sell in case those items bought in bulk doesn't have a big demand on the market (also if there are a lot of sellers already, you will have a hard time selling those items you bought.)

Selling isn't the hard part, it's profiting. You can buy an item for $3 that sells for $10 and still lose money on each sale after shipping, returns, etc. I'm guessing this guide helps by understanding what's profitable, Smiley. OP can confirm or deny if this is what the guide's about.

for me the safest and simplest method to store my bitcoins is a paperwallet.yes it is the best think when securing my funds i will always keep it safe and yes I can trust myself when the point is for the security

Brain wallets are even safer. Then you aren't even worried about people stealing the paper or finding it accidentally. The only way people can get the private key is by forcing you to tell them.

I agree that brain wallets are safer, only if you know the phrase to access the wallet. If your phrase is only made up of simple words that could be easily guessed by a computer, then you're doomed and your funds are doomed, too.

Actually I'm just using blockchain for my wallet. What's the example of brain wallet ? Is it easy to use ?

They removed the address I was using (https://brainwallet.github.io/) but what you did is input your passphrase and it would spit out:

Compressed key
Uncompressed key
Private key

And then you can even use that site to send out a transaction from it, by putting in your passphrase to get the private key, then signing the message there and having it pushed to Blockchain. It was an awesome site and had a clean interface. Sucks that it's gone now, Sad.

I don't, and yeah, I used that site a few weeks ago. Surprised it's closed. It was sleek, powerful, and full-featured. It sucks that I don't know of anything even remotely comparable.

Note, though, that passphrases are easier to keep than most people realize. For example:

I ran the other way
I ran the other way!
I ran the other way?
I ran the other waY
I Ran the other way

All the above are different. Just by changing capitalization or adding a special character, you add a whole new level of security. The best idea is to pick 10 words that aren't necessarily related and use that. I.e., "dog couch door tomato rain pills bucket blanket wonderful whatever" -- add specific capitalization to make it even harder.

Don't force us to have to see the wheel if we don't want to. I, for one, will stop playing at this site if I can't play without the wheel once it is added. Just saying.

If you're just playing for the dice aspect, why not do a dice site instead?
3173  Economy / Gambling / Re: MoneyPot.com :: The bitcoin gambling wallet on: September 21, 2015, 03:43:03 AM
As a new privacy feature, some (but not all) of your withdrawals will now have multiple change addresses (which may be from the cold, hot or warm wallet).

Here's an example withdrawal: https://blockchain.info/tx/93edee61b741dca549f4fad518caa7a4728b9e3f73b055756feb977fd8d7c7fc

This makes it even more of a PITA for anyone trying to do blockchain analysis on MP withdrawals (as it makes it almost impossible to reliably tell change addresses from withdrawal addresses).  And remember to generate unique addresses for each transfer you receive, and when you need that extra level of privacy use our awesome cold-addresses ( https://blog.moneypot.com/cold-addresses/ ) for deposits.

Great idea, privacy concerns are always a concern for some bitcoin users and especially helpful for this business. Good job on this implementation!

3178  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: September 21, 2015, 01:57:46 AM
Ok guyz!

What should be my target for the oct-jan bull run?

$1800 or $2500?

Just remove a zero from each number and you won't be disappointed.

I think everyone needs to think very carefully before making assumptions about continued lacklustre price movement. When bitcoin went from ~$25 to more than ~250 within a couple of months leading up to April 2013 many would have thought they would never see anything like that again. Those who sold out and didn't buy back in again when it went back below $100 would have been kicking themselves when the big boom happened that following November. Well we're in the same situation right now. If things start seriously unravelling with fiat (and indications are that this is going to happen; it's only a matter of when) there will be a race into PMs and crypto. It's entirely likely we could see another run up that will make the ~$1200 from Nov 2013 look like the $250 from April 2013 (i.e if it follows a typical logarithmic trajectory, a $10,000 ATH is not out of the question).

Bottom line: I would be very careful jumping in and out of BTC at the moment as it could suddenly take off and will catch many out.


I have very close to my ATH of holdings of crypto currencies and trying to buy back what I was recently forced to sell. 

I believe at some point the usage and price will go up.

I just have no expectation when that will happen.  I don't even listen to the weather forecast.

The issue here is that usage doesn't relate to price at all. Most services that come out are all about going from cash -> BTC -> cash quickly, which negates the usage factor altogether. We need more to adopt BTC as a method of transacting, without continuing the dilution via liquidation.

this is wrong.

if usage goes up demand for btc will go up.
supply will not inrease therefore price has to inrease.

if price is stable it just means demand and supply are in a equilibrium.

Usage only matters if people are holding. Take this, for example:

We have 100 BTC. There are 100 people interested. All 100 are buying and instantly selling their BTC.
1000 more people get interested. The market is constantly buying and selling, so they jump in as well.

This has no effect. If people HODL, this will change things. But that's just as easy to do with 1k people as it is with 1m.

The screenshot looks good, except that it is a bit odd to see the green background covers only part of the wheel. Either you make the green background bigger to include the wheel in its region, or you make it smaller and put the wheel on another background. Two examples I found on google:

   

Thanks Shogen.   I like the one on the right too.    But I think more of a contrasting color in the "my bets" tab would suffice.  Maybe red?

I'm more for the one on the right as well. It helps keep a feel of separation between areas of the board. In your other image you posted, the alternative would be to split it so that the wheel is half on and half off the green. It just looks weird being at like 65%/35%.
