No fast transfers between exchanges, no good liquidity at Finex and withdrawal issues too. Not that hard to explain.

Now's not the time really, especially provided that BTC has gone up with it's price spiking and rallying above all time high levels, taking alts up with it... Seeing another astronomical rise would be kinda unlikely as experiencing a widespread bullish market for alts doesn't seem too likely from here on. But who knows, you could be getting the lucky exception.

Bitcoin isn't that of a great currency either if you think about it. People and parties that accept it as payment regularly are likely to be converting it to FIAT cash because bitcoin's volatility doesn't make it that of a good tool when it comes to exchanging it for products. Other than that, the fact that trasnactions are not even close to instant and also quite expensive makes it far from ideal for use as a currency other than a value transfer protocol. Cash exceeds at small, fast transactions something bitcoin can't do.
The fact that certain cryptos are putting more effort of the underlying protocol's side isn't that bad of an idea and gives the monetary token of said crypto more value as more users partake in the network.

Not that safe, but that really isn't the biggest issue here. Blockchain.info has bugs that have not been addressed since its inception and has been observed to be quite unresponsive at times of high demand. If you want a feature rich web wallet you should try greenaddress or if you're after simplicity but wouldn't mind compromising some features and privacy Xapo is ok also ok.

https://twitter.com/rogerkver/status/853250894162350080Only a node that is mining is a true full node. The rest are just slowing down the propagation of blocks between the real full nodes. At this point, I am convinced Roger Ver is compromised and is posting absurd shit like this to tip us off. How can a person be compromised? Roger Ver is the #1 bitcoin idiot, only famous for becoming rich as an early bitcoiner with his buddy "the first bitcoin felon". Are you forgetting Roger's rich past with idiocy and crime? I don't know if Roger is trying to talk about SPV mining here (he's proven that he knows close to nothing about bitcoin's technical side as he doesn't even know how to transact BTC) but if that's the case, here's some actual insight by someone that knows what he's talking about.

Perhaps only a dozen or so altcoins have proven to be good long term investments. I only was a "bagholder" with ETH as it really was the only alt I treated as a buy and forget investment after buying in the ICO. I did get out of the market through the recent peak though.

No such thing as a strategy. Here's the thing though, with small amounts, it'd be unlikely to win anything sizeable. Going double or nothing is perhaps a good way to lose fast but hitting enough wins in a row so you can withdraw from a single faucet claim is just too unlikely.

Of course not. tUSD and whatever else peg are separate entities from bitcoin and the way they pave has close to no effect on bitcoin's longlivity, as well as its markets. If they were to go through a rough patch, certainly people would lose money through those trust based systems but bitcoin markets unnafected by them would survive and outlast them.

I see there is a good difference if price of crypto on various exchanges.Is it profitable to buy from exchange X (where price is low) and sell on exchange Y (where price is higher than exchange X)? Is anyone here doing this? Please share your experiences and advices.
This is called arbitrage an crypto pairs only when it can be done extra fast. If an exchange has pairs of several cryptos that are interchangable and also has a system to transfer balances withing the exchange fast it can be done efficiently but due to bots using such a system for profit gaps close extra fast.

Primedice is funded privately, so we know very little about profits they make. Some websites however, are funded by investors publicly and this is an easy way to have a look at how profitable they are. Some sites also publish stats voluntary, like bustabit.

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.

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.

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.

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.
