Wow. They've gone up a LOT. I got 15-20 referrals way back in the day. Each one paid a whopping $5, .

I just learned about YoBit recently. I like that they give away free coins and don't even have a captcha for them. While it's not much, it helps spread awareness.

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.

Bitpremier is free to list on, but I believe it was a 15% fee of the sale price once (if) sold. Somewhat hefty.

OP, I have no interest in using Uber, but if you want someone to look over your ebook and give a review of their thoughts, I can do it (without spoiling the method).

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

I love the site. Especially how where you input things like your IBAN number and such, it's not even utilizing HTTPS. Security is overrated, especially when dealing with finances!

I'd think it would be the company. If they were holding drivers liable for all losses, they wouldn't make it far. And Uber makes a lot off everything regardless, so they can sustain the hit. That said, this seems extremely shady and brings about ethical issues.

Yep, to put it into perspective, someone used Purse.io to trade his BTC for an item on his wishlist. He ended up with a visit from police and an accusation of theft because whoever bought it for him was carding. IIRC it was like $10k in legal fees for him to finally put it behind him, but helps understand the risks.

It says "Get ready for WAVE 3" and not "WAVE 3 NOW RUNNING" for a reason.

That makes no sense. If a government wants control, they simply make it illegal in all forms, and release their own version that is legal to use.

I wish this were color coded in some way. It's so hard to follow as it is, .

My best hand so far on SWC was a month or so ago on PLO. Awesome hand as people kept trying to bet as high as possible, but the tl;dr of it was:

Flopped full house
Turned quads
Rivered royal flush

My first time with the royal, and I won a LOT of chips there (tournament) as people were saying in and raising/re-raising as much as possible.

This isn't really a solution. That's like saying "You can make a credit card transaction anonymously by using your card to get a cash advance and then use the cash." No. This doesn't affect the Bitcoin transaction -- you're just essentially withdrawing the money and using it in other ways.

I think the best method is to allow people to choose their own withdrawal amount (i.e., no minimum), and just charge the transaction fee. That way if someone wants to withdraw 0.0003, they can, and you still aren't losing money by doing this often.

It's just 1/55, which means it's either a very, very new virus or it's just a false positive. I've seen nothing to make me think AutoDice is stealing anything/infected.

Generally speaking, 1/55 would be a false positive. IIRC it takes something like 9/55 just to even warrant a second look. I'm on Windows and have had no issues yet.

I'm 99% sure these are carded/hacked accounts he's using to get the codes, so if you do get one from him and use it, it ends up being tracked back to you if you use it online. They can also do the same in store (same as how they catch people using fake money).

Ah, wasn't aware it was stopped. I did see that for weeks it was pretty stagnant in terms of people that were signed up. It really wasn't a bad deal -- even if you were a net-zero player, you'd still win with that. Same with the new promo, though, but the new one's a lot less lucrative I believe.

You can also always save up for a future prize. There's no telling what's coming next, .

Yeah, there was a pretty detailed story last year about someone that had their house siezed for defaulting on their loan. The issue is the house was fully paid off many years prior, was a clear and free asset, and they even had the deed proving it. It went to court, they lose the house and ended up in a multi-year battle, with the end result being that the bank apparently went for the wrong address (like 110 xxx drive instead of 106 xxx drive). They were given nothing for their hardship (having lost everything, being put on the street to figure out what they could do, having no way to even get another place in the meantime). And apparently this exact situation happens ~1k times a year in the U.S. in the same exact manner.

The simple fact is that even if you have proof of what you say, the court can completely ignore that and screw you regardless over a clerical error.

Not to mention a lot of people don't realize the government can take anything they want, classifying it as "eminent domain." And that's even when there is no claim you did anything wrong. This is also something that happens much more frequently than it should.

Basically, what you think you own, you don't. There's this false sense of security in having things like deeds, but the fact is you can lose it at any time -- all it takes is someone with power to see it and say "I want that." And there are even more loopholes to steal your stuff than just these two situations, but these are the most common.
