I'm not a doctor and I have not consumed this myself, but my wife is a licensed psychiatrist and tells me that Quetiapine (Brand: Seroquel) is sometimes used for people who have a gambling addiction, albeit in very low doses.
It's actually an antipsychotic that's also used as a sleeping aid, but it also helps you to control certain urges.
I'm sure there are many more options and some say that therapy might be a better one than relying on meds.

I do not know, I guess only a little, and it was not hacked completely, but only bitcoin or coin theft on the site. Well, hackers may not be interested in picking up his site, but they are interested in the content that is on the site.
No idea either on how many gambling sites have been hacked. I guess most of them have tight security and they are empowering it so that their funds won't be robbed by hackers. This business is serious and I'm sure that no casino will start with a weak security for their operation. There are probably quite a lot of casino's that are operated by incompetent owners/developers, just look at the sheer number of casino's that are listed here on the forum. Then look at how they've built their website, some are really terrible. It wouldn't surprise me if some of them had some pretty major security holes. |

What's the reason people keep investing in ICOs anyway? Is it just quick money?
Do you think that a proper team with some good reputation builds enough trust so that people invest? I feel that this was the case at EOS
I think that in a lot of cases, it's just a form of gambling to be honest. People just see the results of succesful ICO's and they want to jump on the bandwagon. Usually completely ignoring all the ones that have failed. Sure, it's certainly possible to do enough research about an ICO to be reasonably sure that it has a good chance of succeeding, but it's still a gamble in the end. You never know what might happen after it launches. |

I also received a pm here from a brand new account last May offering to join them. He said the only thing I need to do is make a couple of forum post and I will get an advance notice on which altcoin is going to pumped.
When I ask him to use his/her real account instead of brand new account, he said he ain't monitor or use that account which is obviously just using for screwing others. After he seems i'm not interested in joining, he stated that there are enough people who joined. It's nice I didn't get easily fooled.
You should definitely report users like that, it's definitely not cool to receive spam like that from people you don't know. I wonder how many people would actually fall for something like that, must be quite a few, since I've seen so much pump/dump related spam the last couple of weeks. The only thing you can really do about it is warn people as much as possible. |

I just ignore them and if I reply to a thread like that, it would be to deter people from joining.
Especially if they charge you membership fees to be able to join.
I'm also not fan of what they're doing, I don't think it's very good for altcoins to get pumped like that without any real reason. It really screw up the market and it tricks people into buying something that's not worth it.

For me it would just be impossible to win it on the site I play (Crypto-Games), I don't wager nearly enough to even get into the top 5 spots.
I don't mind that they have a wagering competition though, there are other ways to get some extra winnings.

I would believe this story when I see some official communication from the government of South Korea. "On the verge of legalizing" is not the same as "definitely legalizing". Nowadays, most of the crypto-coin news sites are after sensationalist stories, and they can twist the facts or hide some of them.
wow, i think so like you but i say if this is true so the south korean will get a new era of cryptocurrency world that was a dream who hold or buy sell bitcoin from their country. its great announcement of them. but I confidently tell that bitcoin is to be legalized in the whole world today or tomorrow & your comments also appreciable. I don't think the news about South Korea's intentions to legalize Bitcoin were only on crypto-coin news sites. Yes, if google the news it looks like that's true. But don't forget that we google it in English. Most likely if we were googling it in Korean we'd have different results. There is still no confirmation about the news, and the Bitcoin exchange rates are going down for the past 2-3 days. If the news was true, then there could have been at least a 5% spike in the exchange rates. Agreed, but haven't we had that spike? Bitcoin was around $2,420 before the news appeared and it became $2,600 two days later. That's even a bit over 5%.  On a serious note I do believe that Bitcoin will be accepted by the South Korean government as a savior of their economy in the nearest future, even if the news was fake or wrong. How does legalizing Bitcoin 'save' South Korea's economy? And why do you think South Korea's economy needs saving? SK is one of the few countries that didn't fall into a recession during the global financial crisis and they're not doing too bad now either. They're the 11th largest economy in the world.... |

I was able to get my post through, after forum went down. You can lock this topic |

It's not going to get you a lot of profit if you just invest such a low amount into Bitcoin, but if you plan on keeping it for a really long time and also keep adding more investments, then it could work out for you. About the additional Litecoin investment, I'd say go for it. Litecoin looks really promising, especially because they still have so many features planned. You can check out the Litecoin development roadmap here: https://litecoincore.org/But the website seems to be down atm |

Me too
EDIT: was able to reply here at least.
Very strange, I've not tried replying to other topics, so just testing again here |

Hi guys!
We all know that gambling is not only a fun but also potential danger. So are you limiting yourself somehow when gambling? DO you use casino's instruments to prevent you spending more money?
Or do you just limit yourself by setting a certain amount of money to spend? Or you don't limit yourself at all?
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Yours OshiHugo, Oshi.io CM
What do you mean by this (text in bold)? I've only seen a few casino's that offer ways to limit your playtime. I mean, on crypto-games you can always invest your winnings, meaning that you can't access those funds for at least 24 hours, so I guess that's one way, but most casino's do not offer this. I do limit myself, but that has more to do with being in control and not letting myself get carried away. |

I don't really mind that they offer this, as long as it's not the only option for creating an account on their website.
I'd even use it, I have some social media accounts that are not tied to my real name, so in that sense I wouldn't lose anonymity per se.
It's also pretty handy to not have to remember different log-in info, my password manager on my browser acts up sometimes, especially on Firefox.

Great to see that you've added a Litecoin lottery, was hoping for a Dash lottery, but a Litecoin lottery is also a really great addition to the website! I hope it will get a lot of use, but with a week between each round, the pot should get reasonably big |

Everyone's talking about bitcoin being godlike and all good, but is there some downside to it, excluding the funding of terrorism and whatnot, but as the deisik said: Though in a somewhat different context. Just earlier today I explained why Bitcoin can be used as an economic weapon of mass destruction. Since that explanation was made in another language, I think I can repeat it here. Countries with rogue or just incompetent governments may fall victim to a Bitcoin "attack", so to speak. In these countries population heavily suffers from constant currency devaluations (e.g. Zimbabwe in the past or Venezuela right now), so with Bitcoin they can completely abandon their low paid jobs and make a living entirely off Bitcoin. From an economic point of view, that would work as a reversed inflation tax. With a direct inflation tax, it is the population that suffers most from currency devaluation, but when we reverse this tax, it is the government that now gets hit by it. Thus Bitcoin can be used by powerful nations (say, the US) to ruin weak governments from inside entirely via economic measures without violence or blood (unless authorities start prosecuting people for using Bitcoin, of course) Some scenarios like this, where bitcoin can destroy one's economy or something similar. Theories. Currently people who live off Bitcoin still have to exchange it for their local currency, and they still pay taxes in a form of value-added tax if it's present in their country. So, a government which is "attacked" by Bitcoin can simply find a way to tax it. Of course people might start using Bitcoin directly to avoid taxation, but it's not much different from cash and current tax evasion practices, so I don't see any radical differences that can make Bitcoin a "weapon of mass destruction". It's difficult to avoid taxation altogether, even when you buy stuff with Bitcoin directly (I hope this is what you meant), you're probably still paying sales tax if you're buying from a shop. I guess you can find ways to also avoid paying that, by only using marketplaces for example, but that would be pretty diffucult if you want a full range of options when you're spending your Bitcoins. |

Seems like an excellent name for a Bitcoin related game actually, but that might be a bit too difficult to realise.
On the other hand, I'd really like to see another good Bitcoin RPG for example.
A faucet might also be a good option, but it's not really the right time to start just another faucet.

Digital marketing and Email Marketing are the best ways to Bitcoin Marketing. There will have chance to go with paid marketing like Google Adwords, Facebook advertising, etc.
Sorry, but most of the options you have with email marketing are almost the same as spamming. I really doubt that's a good way to 'advertise' Bitcoin. The best way to promote Bitcoin are stores accepting it and mainstream news outlets writing positive articles about it, imo. |

From OP's link: In 2014, Pyszne.pl was acquired by Takeaway.com, one of the largest online food ordering websites in the world. It's a Dutch owned company, their Dutch website http://thuisbezorgd.nl has been accepting Bitcoin for years. They process Bitcoin payments instantly (0 confirmations) to forward your order to the restaurant. I haven't tested it with a very low fee, that may be a risk for them if it never confirms. If that happens, you might get a bill at your delivery address. I've been using the Belgian version (pizza.be) for years using Bitcoin. If you add a fee that's too low, they will send the payment to the merchant once it's confirmed. So the restaurant will only receive your order once it's confirmed. A few days ago, I sent a transaction with a 0.0007 BTC fee and it took around half an hour for the restaurant to accept my order, the day after, I ordered again but added 0.001 BTC fee and it got accepted right away. Your story only highlights the difficulties associated with trade in BTC. Many businessmen this just pushes away from crypto currencies. Constantly have to recalculate the price of the goods due to the instability of prices. For buyers too inconvenient that you can enjoy your Breakfast 30% cheaper than dinner, or Vice versa. I'm not really sure if it does, since they're using Bitpay, they should get the value of those Bitcoin when the transaction was made, that's just the reason why merchants choose Bitpay. In this case, when the transaction confirms a bit slower, would they get the value from before or after it confirms? |

I never panic when I see the price move either way, if you panic during such times, I would definitely reconsider being a trader in the first place.
You just have a make a calculated desicion zhether you buy or sell and you should think of that before the price changes.
Even if the price dropped back to $1000, I'd still be very happy, I probably would have sold in time and that gives me the chance to buy Bitcoin really cheap.
