3301  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Reasons of why bitcoin accepting shopping sites are not famous on: April 15, 2017, 11:12:23 AM
It's true that many mom and pop websites accept bitcoin in an effort to attract more customers but BTC certainly isn't the reason they are not "famous". But there's no reason to correlate their acceptance of BTC with the size of the businesses because bitcoin as just another payment option certainly isn't holding them back.

Sometimes making a fuss about such issues is the only way to get your money back. Post in the scam accousation board naming the casino and detailing the issue, and perhaps link to your post form reddit.com/r/bitcoin. If they care about publicity they'll to their best to address your issue.

That's the thing, you shouldn't try to hit goals when gambling because you could waste all your fund trying to reach them. Just go in it to waste some time, or have some fun. All with small amounts each time, win or lose, just get away quickly.

But that is the problem here, impulse gamblers can't control themselves. It is the worst way you can be a gambler. If you are an impulse gambler, you are not thinking straight, you just think that gambling is your thing and no one will stol you from doing it. You do things so you can gamble like borrowing or even being a thief. It is the type of gambler where they are like attracting by the casino like a magnet amd they will never mind because they like it, they have no control and needs a treatment by psychologists.
Getting professional help is not a bad idea if you can't help yourself. First step is to accept that you're impulsive with gambling through, but I don't disagree. If someone can't set limits to his gambling and instead sets fails at self set goals (that are doomed to fail), then getting help would be needed.

Different exchanges, different rules. Liquidity at those two is wildly different so hard swings are unlikely to see a swift follow up in each market since the speed at which traders can close gaps depends on underlying liquidity and apparently accounts in one exchange are harder to fund than the other.
3306  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Estimate of internet traffic needed to mine on a pool? on: April 15, 2017, 07:24:57 AM
Latency and stability are more important than bandwidth. A home connection would be fine for even a competitive amount of hashrate, thing is if the pool your miners are communicating with is too far away from you then you'd better pick another one. That's why pools nowadays offer EU, NA and a variety of servers to pick from.

How to check input and output?
If the transaction has been propagated you can check through a block explorer. Otherwise, it should be the job of your wallet to pick them in order to formulate a transaction.
3308  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: BitCoin Core vs unlimited - what if on: April 14, 2017, 09:31:52 PM
Thing is, adopting any change among the bitcoin network could damage miners not making the right choice on the long run. No miner would move to a risky fork or different chain if there wasn't absolute need to and consensus.
3309  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Insanely high miner fees on: April 14, 2017, 09:29:59 PM
Your wallet tries to put your transaction as a high priority one based on current market standards. You coyld always pick a different wallet that'd let you pick smaller fees by hand but that wouldn't guarantee transactions confirming on a timely manner.

Spectro I just saw on twitter are offering a free virtual card which might be useful to you @spectrocoin if you rt their message.
There is few open scam accusations against them and their bitcointalk account is tagged as scammer for almost a year. So i don't think it will be wise decision to use their cards.

Bitpay can be good card providers for OP as he is from USA.
Yup, that's true about the scam accusations. Spectrocoin haven't addresses several pretty serious scam accousations against them and thousands are at stake. IMO such practices should serve as a warning that the worse could happen and spectrocoin are not to be trusted with your money.

Many people are cheering for litecoin for it proporting to adopt a technology developed Bitcoin. It now experiences a price fall of almost 7% after the market correntd from the news break out. The fact that litecoin could essentially become an extended testnet doesn't mean that it has any real world use other than being another alt.

Uquid is good for virtual, Coins bank named is perfect for POS transactions as it has good rates and fees are free for the first year of use.

Check out my thread "list of Bitcoin debit cards" for an extensive list of cards so you can do your own research into them.

3313  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin also lead to corruption ? on: April 13, 2017, 09:16:38 AM
We all know that there is corruption everywhere, like in government or any other organization. Because of money, corruption can always happen with greedy people who always wants more money to them. Since bitcoin can be considered as money, can it also lead to corruption?
As what you have said corruption is everywhere there are many people could corrupt bitcoins because bitcoin is like a real money, so there are some people who are addicted or has a greed to money that may lead to corruption.
But other than that, Bitcoin is quite popular among criminals because of its properties so it's no surprise that some people end up being corrupt only after they find out about Bitcoin.
3314  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BitcoinUnlimited "miners" will be automous bots powered by Ethereum on: April 11, 2017, 07:48:07 PM
In what system are those bots going to be hosted on? It'd be hard to avoid centralization on a premise that bots would play a major role in the market.
3315  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin also lead to corruption ? on: April 11, 2017, 07:22:23 PM
Wealth can very much lead to corruption. Provided that Bitcoin favors anonymity it is quite easy for people that are not ethical to slip into corrupted or at least non legal practices.
3316  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: AsicBoost Probably the reason Segwit is being blocked. on: April 09, 2017, 10:36:53 PM
Ι don't see why any party would use such cryptic technology to block a solution on bitcoin's hottest issues. Would the creators risk the reputation of the technology by only providing access to it to people looking to divide bitcoin's progress? And if yes, what what's to gain out of something like that?
3317  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Blockchain bug *urgent* on: April 09, 2017, 08:35:02 PM
What kind of bug is this?

We call this a sixty six dollar bug

What is this.Never heard about this bug before.Even Google search doesn't come handy.Could you please elaborate or direct me to any online source of information on this.
It's an attempt to a witty joke about how much the bitcoins in the transaction OP is asking help about is worth in USD.
3318  Economy / Exchanges / Re: List of bitcoin debit cards on: April 09, 2017, 08:26:41 PM
Great thread!

Does anyone have a list with all cards that do not require KYC/verification and their limits?


Thank you in advance
I could compile such a list if there's interest for such a thing. But such cards are quite expensive in fees and all so they are not good for frequent transactions and certainly not practiczl for microtransactions.

What about countries which there is no regulation for cryptocurrencies and the bitcoin user does not know how much tax he has to pay? Isn't it worth to use such cards with ATM machines?

I don't know. Well, ATM transactions fees can be quite high and anonymous cards don't have high limits. I'll look more into it when I have time creating a list in the following days.

How reliable is this?

What is up-time like?
Likely not at all. If there is no money there is no liability and lots of bad actors are attracted so your webspace's reputation wouldn't​ be that great.
