OOOoooohhh ... I like the $10 US button - kudos to who ever thought of that one.  Is it possible that when the $10 button is clicked twice it becomes $20 - thrice $30 and so on?
3202  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin betting on the 2020 US Presidential Election | Trump vs Biden on: November 19, 2020, 12:28:37 AM
The key dates to watch for ( as referenced in this post: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-11-12/biden-trump-us-election-result-official-what-happens-next/12875804 ) are:

  • 9th December

    Quote
    The states have until December 9 to settle any disputes over the election result, including recounts and court contests.

  • 15th December

    Quote
    Each state's electors have until December 15 to vote by paper ballot for the president and vice-president.
  • 24th December

    Quote
    Those certificates must be delivered to the designated officials by December 24.
  • 7th January

    Quote
    That's when the House and Senate hold a joint session to count the electoral votes.

    When Biden or Trump receives 270 or more electoral votes, the President of the Senate will announce the results.
  • 21st January

    Quote
    That's when the president-elect will be sworn into office on Inauguration Day.

So basically, the 7th of January 2021 is the most likely date any gambling websites will hold onto funds until - after which point punters can query why they haven't been paid out.

(and given the rise and rise of bitcoin over the last few weeks, those funds are getting richer and richer by the hour)

A perfect example of what I just said:

If you were banned that means all your feedback should be wiped as well? On second thought this is actually a great idea  Roll Eyes.

Time to repeat myself:

That and most admin/mods see themselves as "unaccountable".

Did you notice this (just example):


I've been using the "copy quote to clip board" a few times already.  The first couple of times, the page needed reloading, but then it finds its stride and we're in business.
3207  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Bitcoin Unit Converter: Convert satoshi, mBTC,Finney, μBTC to 33 fiat currencies on: November 18, 2020, 01:38:10 PM
These are all just thought bubble/suggestions, you're welcome to run with them or not as you see fit.

Quote
It supports 170 currencies (I added just about 40 because the dropdown would be too big, it would damage navigation). If you miss important currencies, let me know. I can just add them to the dropdown list.

Perhaps a box to just type the three digit code (and an optional dropdown menu for major dollar/pound/euro/yen/peso/rouble/yuan/rupee/dinar etc currencies?)

Quote
I liked this idea. I will make a 1 BTC and 1 mBTC  button. Do you have more suggestion about btc values?

Just a thought bubble, not a request - a "clear all" button restores the 1 BTC = X US$ - I might have a think about other buttons for quick actions.




I don't use anything except "bitcoin" eg 1.1, 2.3, 0.007 etc or, satoshis 2345, 5678 etc sats as I've seen attempted scams where one user is talking milibitcoins but only pays "bits" or something similar (can't recall specifics just off the top of my head)

I do like the milisats for LN!

Quote
If I changed the BTC value, it would convert 1 BTC to 0.68. (looks ok)

But if you change to VES (Venezuela Bolivar) that would be only 0.00000175.

Do you think it would be better to do this way? I can easily change to that design.

Because the fiat amount is the only one that can change, to my way of thinking the amount that was there (eg €23.45 gets converted into the newly selected fiat eg £20.99) and I like the US$ as the "standard reference value!




Another suggestion:

Code:
£ $ ₹ € ¥ ¢ ≠ ÷ ™

Perhaps adding currency codes might help if someone doesn't speak any of the languages, they can still navigate by recognising £ $ ₹ € ¥ ¢ for the major currencies?

Yep, that's one of the ones I tried above, this https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/tx/7da3515aa3a7492b9e99ef95b7a3e7bbaf500c474de68b3dc4c756d18729abdd/ seems to be the only place accepting it (which is why I was hoping your site might have seen it) - I'm rebroadcasting daily as it drops from that site every ~ 18 hours.




Does anyone know how to do one of these? https://sochain.com/api#send-transaction

I'm trying to use this page: https://bitcoindata.science/plot-your-transaction-in-mempool.html but nothing happens when I enter the TX 7da3515aa3a7492b9e99ef95b7a3e7bbaf500c474de68b3dc4c756d18729abdd - I'm going to see if I can reach out to @bitmover for help on this one.

I selected "AUD" from the drop-down menu and this happened:



I would have thought with the bitcoin value as 1.0 that it would have carried over, however the page seems to have taken the US$ value instead.

Is there a way to have a "clear" button to restore the values to "one" or "zero"

How often do the prices update?

How are you doing your conversions of exchange rates?  Is there a way to select other sites that provide bitcoin (or fiat) prices?

*edit* I've just noticed the "Exchange rates from European Central Bank using exchangerate.host API. Bitcoin price from coindesk." at the bottom.




Have you heard of preev.com ?  I *was* about to suggest you have a look at that site, but it's gone off-line.






Check out xe.com too.



Kudos.

Admin and mods are pulling at the "rules" in different ways, one admin/mod will nuke a user, the next will go "gee, IDK, they *might* have posted something ok once - ya know?"

Most Admin see their roll as a free kick for themselves but end up kicking own goals more often than not because they are "interpreting" vague to the point of oblique "rules" which most of them will claim are either guidelines, or not official, so it doesn't count to them.

That and most admin/mods see themselves as "unaccountable".  Be grateful *any* UID's get banned.  (and if they can't ban you, then they'll delete your posts ad-hock)

A banned users' trust feedback and default trust should also be removed, but isn't.  Funny that eh?
3212  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: The Lightning Network FAQ on: November 18, 2020, 01:32:46 AM
Again, an unrealistic scenario.Smiley

 I (like most users) don't get paid$ 10 many times over the course of a month. I usually only pay$10. After 10 payments, my channel  will be reset to zero. And you will need to either re-create the channel, or replenish it using a third-party service. And this is the fee for an additional  on-chain transaction.
I'll try a more realistic one: how about you get $1000 salary once a month, and pay your normal bills with it? Bills will go from high amounts like your rent to daily small amounts for coffee. Then you indeed can't use the same funds several times. It becomes slightly better if you receive your salary every week. You probably don't want an open channel with your employer (I wouldn't want them to know my remaining balance), so you'll still need a third party.

I have some funds in a Blue wallet that I don't mind exchanging 1:1 for on-chain funds - (you) pay the TX fees on your end and I do likewise.  Having no funds on your end is good as it enables you to have inbound capacity when you open a new channel.



Just an aside for a previous comment in the thread:

If you have 1 BTC, wouldn't it be better to open 10 X 0.1 channels, or even 100 X 0.01 channels which would make you a mini-hub that others could then start connecting to?

Tor for Andorid seems to have updated ok.
3214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin betting on the 2020 US Presidential Election | Trump vs Biden on: November 18, 2020, 12:18:13 AM
Now will the gambling websites pay when he concedes (if he does) or will they still wait for the certification in January, figuring out that with Trump, anything could still happen ?

They would only have to wait until the College Electoral votes are formally counted (which is still a few weeks away) - all court cases have to be finalised before that date.

Week 20 Trusted by seven UID's (on top of the three who have trusted you for the past twenty weeks)
Instead of collusion, I think this was caused by a thread on a local board. Awareness lead to an increase in Trust relations, and that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Yes, I was thinking along those lines.  In week 21 there were four reciprocal trust4trusts - three of which were new additons that week with just one having trusted ekiller (railer) the week prior.
3216  Other / Meta / Re: DefaultTrust changes on: November 16, 2020, 12:57:21 PM
... utter rubbish ...

Week 20 Trusted by seven UID's (on top of the three who have trusted you for the past twenty weeks)

Week 21 You add ten UID's to your trust list (your very first DT trusts of others), 2 distrusts of others, are trusted by twelve more users (AND five UID's remove their trust in you the same week)

Week 22 You add eleven more to your trust list, distrust two more UID's, are trusted by three more UID's (one gets banned and one removes their trust in you) - and you are distrusted by two for the first time.

After that there's reciprocal trusts for trust or distrust for distrust...




It's not just this user, it's the seeming collusion to en-mass trust/distrust others.

... serial scammer Dean Nolan is doing in his censored thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5287374.0

You're critical of someone else having a moderated thread ... by having your own moderated thread?  How does that help?  You are only going to stifle those you are critical of, or, their supporters.  If I can make a suggestion - Your thread would be better suited if it were not moderated and a frank, but respectful discussion occurred.
3218  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Live betting question. on: November 16, 2020, 12:24:03 AM
I'm wondering why you are waiting until the match is under-way to place a wager?  With the exception of a late scratching, or a player being injured (or rain or something along those lines) I would have thought your mind would be made up before the game starts.

The only exception to this would be if one side are blitzing their opponents and it looks like they will win.
3219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting strategy advice on: November 16, 2020, 12:20:18 AM
At the start of this year if you had said the same thing about the Brisbane Broncos Rugby League team (who have won the NRL grand-final quite a few times over the years) you would now be reporting that you are totally out of pocket as they only won their first three games and finished at the bottom of the ladder for the season as the wooden-spooners not winning any games for the rest of the season.

If you have a favourite team, that's fine, but there will come a time when then finish last (and might even get relegated if such a system is in place for your type of sport you follow)

For the template i don't mind it, but the post until now still use my Twitter, and it really worries me if the account is suspected to be mine. And most importantly I have clarified that the account is not mine.

Placing trust feedback on their trust feedback page gives credibility to your assertion where just saying it here in this thread doesn't hold as much weight.

At the moment you have none on your page.
