CZ did a good thing by backing out from the deal otherwise all his investment in order to save FTX would have gone down the drain.
Currently, FTX has officially announced of going bankrupt and I wonder what's gonna happen next.
Things doesn't get settled here because FTX was the second largest crypto exchange and I think we will get to see some traction in the next few days/weeks.
Considering what has been revealed, yes. It would have been a worst move ever to acquire something that's now been under the close eye of regulators and law enforcement and Sam is probably being sued for numerous reasons. This happened so fast my head is still spinning. It would need a miracle for FTT to survive from this as FTX didn't. Maybe at some day some people could make a group lawsuit that would be for FTT token holders. I am not sure how that would play out.

This is the second No KYC decentralised casino in a short time. I am happy if this trend continues as there are demand for it.

I've read the roadmap and i have to ask what are the requirements for incentivised test participants? Is it just following the steps in your site? I am asking because you are talking about "Qualifying participants" and "winning" TrueCasino CHIPs which makes me think that there are limited number of participants and they are chosen somehow.

it would be fair if they compensate for the people who suffered losses due to trading CROBABY tokens, because I see them making unilateral decisions, they withdraw liquidity without any notification, you could say they took investors' money away
Legally they should give "ico"or "presale" money back to token holders. But i don't think anyone lost that much money that they are willing to take this to court. Officials could be interested about this though and there are tons of free government funded reporting systems for whitle blowers about unregulated icos, online scams and such.

Although i am not sure it they want to waste their time as hunting pseudonymous scammers that takes a ton of time and resources. Often they get help firms that trace blockchain transactions as a service and if they won't give their services for free, it can cost way more then stolen amount, and everyone's salary who is involved in the search. So finding them might not be anyone's priority.
3204  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Not all gambling games are based on luck, some require skills on: November 11, 2022, 03:51:21 PM
Is there any gambling project that have a soccer game and horse racing game onboard? I believe that these two genre are not based on luck but skill that's why I ask this question, since most gambling projects have games that are based on luck like roulette and others.

Winning in those are still based on probablility, as by insight and knowledge or a good math head you can make odds work for you. But even if there's a lower probability to lose, that probability is called luck by some people.

So no pure luck, but it's still luck. Compared to casino where you don't have real control, in real world sports or poker, you can control your changes by adjusting probabilities via your skills and knowledge.
3205  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: CZ dumping FTT on: November 11, 2022, 03:22:39 PM
He was fully aware of what he was doing, he was basically taking revenge. According to CZ there was a period where FTX ended up "attacking" binance, and he saw that as treason because he was the first one to invest into it (well binance was but cz=binance in my mind).
This means he was expecting loyalty and instead he got attacked from them and this made him a bit angry and at the very least dislike FTX. Right now, he found a chance that he could just sell all of his FTT and take a small hit but he could destroy another website. This is why I believe he did it, otherwise he could have sold it for 22 dollars each, and he didn't and made a loss, all because he wanted to destroy FTX and nothing else.
Yup, and honestly, not that some background has opened, it wasn't the only reason. He was aware about some issues happening. The fact i thought that the fud was over was very naive thinking from me. Everything they had exposure to was being dumped and they had to prevent bank run effect.

There were also some leaked damning info about the FTX. ( https://twitter.com/cobie/status/1590610757334728704 )
The rabbit hole is so huge that i would need to do ton of research to cover everything and how it affected to firms that had loan deals with ftx. It's like a card house, one falling after another.

But there are way more capable people reporting about this then me so i don't think i'll be doing any exposure thread.

I am just wishing he didn't went and short FTT or others at the same time, as that could be seen as market manipulation for profit, and then Binance would be in trouble too and we would be REALLY in trouble.

Came back to visit and see how that 2022 portfolio is doing in the middle of this market chaos.



I am not that surprised about doge to be honest, it seems to always peak before the altcoin season and at some point i guess, the #altcoinseason starts.

Lately i've been thinking i should buy matic, as now when i have used it i find it handy to use. Or maybe i've been influenced to buy it as i see influencers mentioning it a lot, i am not sure. But i am surprised that it has survived that well. I was kinda hoping it would drop more before me buying it. But i guess i'll be just rushing in buying it now.

Bitcoin and eth haven't done that well but it could be way worse and we have to remember it's just few days since things started falling a part in ftx and ftx seem to have dumped everything they had.

XRP i don't personally like and BNB has some decent pr that they gained with that with a power move. I wish that CZ hasn't said anything but things would have just broken slower.

3207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or wait till the end on: November 11, 2022, 01:18:52 PM
So what would you would advise as a gambler? is it better to collect the cash out or wait for the full cash

I just started betting online and noticed that i can even do that. I always thought that bets are locked but it makes sense mathematically for casinos to allow people taking smaller sums or cut their losses. Statistically speaking it's same for them.

And first time almost cut my losses because i couldn't take the heat and it wasn't a familiar enough sport to tell if the opponent was dominating too much. So i am guessing your question depends on how is the  game or match is going. I am don't have enough knowledge on some games to see if key players are not having a good day, but in in MMA or boxing i think i can see if someone's going to dominate someone else so my guess is that i can easily cut my losses if things aren't working in my favor.

If the game is even and well-matched but i was winning by betting ratio, i would probably wait out the rest of the game/match.

If i play complicated sports that i don't know enough of, which is most of them, i personally need to wait for the end to see how it plays out because i can't read the playing field, or what's happening in the game, and i wouldn't know if i should trust the moving betting ratio.

Does anyone that has rank 2 or higher spin Fury wheel ? Please share your success rate. I am rank 2. I usually get 100 SHIB or 5 BTT. Few times I was lucky to catch 10 TRX and 3 BFG several times. I've noticed, that the last 2 times I catch BFG, they are not added to my balance, but are displayed in Transactions>Bonus with status "completed". Not that I want to call BetFury as cheaters (I would laugh if I would do that, because of several cents Cheesy) , but I think that is some kind of a bug. Do you have similar experience ?
There's one lvl 2 player (MMIike) on the top winners list whio won 1 BNB:



So i guess it's possible to win, but i am rank 5 and already gave up with that wheel. Never got more then 100 shib and played it daily for a long time.

If i rememeber correctly those wheels payed pretty well with bfg tokens back in day when "mining" was still profitable. Odds for the main price were insanely low (many times harder than lottery in my country). And i can't remember anyone winning the jackpot.

There's nothing wrong by using your time with playing for excitement, but one should adjust their expectations when it comes to that wheel.
3209  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: LiveTree ADEPT [SED] Crowdsale complete! on: November 10, 2022, 06:06:47 PM
What about the old sed tokens??
is it useless anymore??
why change sed to sedc??
I missed a lot of information, but clearly I have around 3000 sed in my wallet, can it be used??
This really needs to be answered by Ashley, i haven't heard about them since they promised to buy back the tokens and cancelled it. I still remember that after that they started to kick people from their telegram channel who critizited their lack of communication and apparently i was one of them.

He hasn't communicated about the swap in here either (if there even was a swap). Or if it's still possible to swap the tokens and how. The fact that we should listen trough 1h20min glitchy ama without video and hope to find any clues what to do with our SED isn't really helpful.

I am waiting for 2 weeks for him to give an answer that satisfies bounty hunters. And if he fails to do that i am red trusting him for not respecting the people who worked for a long time advertising this. I will remove the red trust after he answers what we should do with our sed, or points out a link where we can get answers.

3210  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Is Binance poised to become a monopoly? on: November 10, 2022, 07:45:00 AM
Consider how Cryptsy (a now defunct exchange) caused a severe blow to the crypto market prices as it was one of the biggest exchanges in the world. Just like it happened with Cryptsy, it could happen with Binance at some point in the future. I believe regulators should step in to help prevent Binance from becoming a monopoly. Only then, there will be healthy competition which results in greater decentralization in the long run. It looks like the merger won't happen anytime soon (Binance backed down after it saw FTX's books), so we should have nothing to worry about. Just my thoughts Grin
I agree. I remember people trusting Cryptsy and Mintpal too (currently both of their ceos are indicted). But markets weren't really even regulated. Whales played pump and dumps and exchanges didn't require KYCs and for some reason Bittrex didn't seem that legit at the time when it came as a rival.

When Binance came, regulators were just catching up. And newbie investors didn't have the trauma of big CEXes exit scamming, failing or getting hacked. People who came before 2017 knew that anything can happen and tried to warn everyone with the facts like "not your keys, not your coins".

I still think that the whole game has changed a lot. Regulators are watching things more closely and CEXes are working with them. FATF laws are coming and soon Regulated DeFi will be a thing and losses by theft can be covered by insurances. Security now is way more sophisticated and normies can trust security of Binance way more they can trust their own tech savviness to keep hackers away.

Only thing that can seriously mess things up now are unseen disasters we haven't thought about, or huge lawsuits and stuff that happened to FTX and even then you have to fear more market volatility then some exchange stealing your coins.
3211  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: In 2013 someone paid to store all the lyrics to a song on the blockchain. on: November 10, 2022, 06:43:56 AM
Blockchain technology has many applications whereby the government and centralized institutions have interest to utilize this great opportunity and many industries also get this done to secure their future portfolios in using blockchain technology, i think there could be more engagement on this discussion with members if the thread moved to Beginners and help or economics.
Yet it's mainly known for making people rich or poor. It's known for scammers rug pulling investors, crypto (sextortion) blackmails, drugs, money laundering, ico bubble where it was mainly sold as a solution to problems that doesn't require blockchain in the first place, rich and poor people bragging with collectable jpgs, PoW as a waste of energy that's destroying the planet. All this without understanding how it any of it works, and apparently it's occasionally Rick Rolling people.

We need a serious PR upgrade.
3212  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Is Binance poised to become a monopoly? on: November 09, 2022, 10:04:26 PM
Hasn't binance already announced that it is acquiring FTX ?
Even if not then binance is already a leading crypto exchange which makes a step closer to monopoly already.
Now that FTX is collapsing, Binance is becoming even more stronger which we can clearly see on BNB charts.
It's a very though situation out there in the crypto market currently. Stay strong is what I would say.
CZ just backed out from that deal. This makes it so much worse for FTX. They were desperate, signaling how bad things were over there. And now even Binance won't bail them out. If i had still money in, i would be panicking now. Also anything that has exposure to ftx/Alameda will get market dumped. Bank run will be a race and only rule is to get out FAST.

CZ knew what he was doing.
3213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gambling today and lesson i learnt on: November 09, 2022, 08:13:15 PM
Make your money and leave.
Here's where your reasoning goes south, because this is the exact reason why some people come back to play. They assume that there's money to be made in the first place  if they just leave early enough. Or if they haven't made money, they will make it next time. Reasoning to justify gambling, while only reason you would need is it to be fun.

Gamble for fun, especially with roulette and casino games, don't try to reason sense why you didn't make money or did make money.
If you thought you have figured out a system, just trust me; edge isn't on your side, only luck can be your side.

Also "winning energy bringing more wins" sounds superstitious, weird and fun, but there's as much logic behind that as leaving early.

This is now 8th time you posted this copypaste. I am starting to think you don't read any of the answers.
I am all for spreading the word about how scammy 1xbit is, but what you are doing is not only against ANY forum rules, it's just annoying spamming.
You don't have to read the rules, but use your common sense that this is against ANY forum etiquette.

I am hoping that after your account gets banned by repeating this copypaste, you won't leave thinking that bitcointalk is somehow against free speech and suppressing your criticism.

Has Stake been hacked? I received what looks to be a valid email from noreply@stake.com (email headers match - it's not simple spoofing), with the subject "Stake: Welcome to the new VIP program!" and a body offering more bonuses. Clicking the link, I get redirected to http://sso-stake.com, which is currently offline and definitely doesn't look like an official Stake domain. The domain was just registered today going off of whois records, so I suspect whatever platform Stake uses for email marketing might have been hacked and used for a phishing campaign.
They just posted this phishing warning few minutes ago to their telegram group.

Thanks for staying vigilant. I am paranoid enough to always check urls from anywhere i get them but getting post from correct email might fool people easily.

But correct me if i am wrong but Email spoofing doesn't need hacking the site to work afaik.

I'm not sure if this was planned from the beginning, but we may never know.
Here's a nice summary of how it all went wrong for SBF and FTX:
https://twitter.com/milesdeutscher/status/1589631447517655040
By the way, I don't think it's all over yet.

I mean that he would have known it creates fud and how it plays out after that as there was fud happening already, even from Bitboy from all the people Cheesy.
Maybe i am overestimating how smart CZ is but surely he knows that one wrong tweet from him can destroy a token?
And when he mentions selling his ftt bag and that he learned from luna at same sentence. If that wouldn't do it, nothing would.

What it comes to Commodity Futures Trading Commission, they are mostly interested on authorization of FTX US Derivatives after their liquidity problems, not legality of this takeover.

Did they acquire it already or is it in the process of a deal?
-cut_
They signed Non-binding Letter Of Intent to aquire it, so they have an intent to do so.

I've played it for a while now and i like the whole idea a lot. Maybe needs some tweaking and crash game but the fact it's decentralized amd you can earn with ZKAS makes it interesting.

Have i understood correctly that i can't yet earn ZKAS, but this is just a testnet run? If so, when are you going to launch it for real?
3218  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - The Leading Crypto Casino - 🦉 Drake, UFC, Watford Main Partner ⚽ 🥊 on: November 08, 2022, 07:12:46 PM
who knows DLive will catch up on Twitch in the future? as Twitch is banning most gambling streamers, they will go to the next good one. and later on, DLive platform will improve further to cater high number of viewers. we can't say yet the future of DLive at the moment but this early, they are already showing good signs that they can handle high number of viewers.

I don't think they should be even compared. Twitch is way more mature and knows their target audience. On the other hand i still don't know what kind of place DLive will be in 5 years, it's still kind of all over the map and it has 1.8 stars in appstore with only 4K Ratings.

I am pretty sure twitch keeps ruling with live streams as it already has an edge as a leader, at least with online gaming. Gambling on the other hand can be tricky to broadcast without decentralized service like DLive as there are ton of games that aren't licensed in United States.
3219  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: CZ dumping FTT on: November 08, 2022, 05:49:25 PM
Is this the result of a long-planned plan? This is the result of weighing the pros and cons. CZ has a limited pattern, but there are not many people who have reached this level who are not ruthless and full of blood. The market is like this, A and B It is C who is injured in the fight, and C is mostly retail investors in most cases.

Things have been hectic, withdrawals rejected and huge panic in the market. Next bail-out by binance and now they are going to aquire the whole FTX. I didn't see this coming, although it was probably the whole plan from the start.
https://twitter.com/cz_binance/status/1590013613586411520

This wasn't a fight, this was a giant takeover. Something tells me that FTX token would be interesting bet to buy now, as no one knows what are plans for it next. Anyway.
Fud about this is totally over.

Edit (CZ explains his reasoning for the tweet): https://twitter.com/cz_binance/status/1589695556909424640
3220  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: CZ dumping FTT on: November 07, 2022, 09:29:40 PM
cz is a fucking liar .
only spreading FUD and fake news .
SEC will sue binance soon .

That doesn't make any sense and i can't imagine that i would get a sensible answer to this but as you are throwing accusations i must ask:

When no one can even figure out what he was saying, then what was he lying about?
He haven't even hinted about any insolvency, that rumour came from somewhere else, and looks like it has no basis.

Was he lying about slowly getting rid of their own FTT bag? Now why would he lie about that then?
