bitsler is already a "multi altcoin dice website" they have Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin and as Baryom stated in his announcement in last page Burstcoin is in the implementation stage and will be added in the next couple of days.

and as for faucet, i would also like seeing a faucet, but i think this was suggested before and rejected.

you think they are better but in fact if they were really better they would have already gotten big in the past 8 years.
do you really think bitcoin was the first?
there were other altcoins around when bitcoin came out, and it crushed all of them because it was decentralized, had a good distribution plan and was secure because giant security experts had checked the code.
all the altcoins you find these days are either premined obviously or premined in a hidden way so they don't have a fair distribution.
when someone controls over 70% of the supply of an altcoin, that altcoin can never succeed. and that is because of the decentralization and security that i mentioned above. with bitcoin everything has always been transparent from day one. you could mine the first blocks and get the reward like anybody else. the coins satoshi and Hal mined are still there and have not moved all these years. but you can't say the same thing about most altcoins.

short answer: adoption!

the name is altcoin aka cryptocurrency. but the definition has changed and right now these altcoins are only carrying the name of currency in their description and nothing more than that.

so in my opinion, altcoin success would be when one or some of these altcoins start living up to the promise. start being used as a currency. and for that, they first have to be a better currency than fiat and also a better currency than bitcoin. also have certain aspects to themselves. such as
- ease of use for average Joe, not a shitty or complicated wallet
- ease of use in general, meaning i as a user can run a wallet for myself without requiring a third party such as web wallets, exchanges, etc to keep my coins.
- decentralization, if people wanted to use centralized coins they would have either used fiat or used the government/bank issued cryptocurrencies that thy are currently working on.
- security, people want to be sure that their money is safe. the code needs to be safe, they shouldn't hard fork every couple of months just because the code wasn't reviewed first before releasing. the network security should be high enough that eliminates any kind of attack vector or at least makes them expensive enough to prevent an easy attack and have solutions for them too.
- stability, the wild pump and dumps that happen in altcoin scene kills any project no matter if they are good. no sane person or business would risk using an altcoin that is small and can get dumped 80% in a week.

but all the things i said are just noise because the nowadays developers don't care about anything apart from "how much money the project makes them" and that is one of the reasons why we keep seeing ICOs!

you are half correct.
if the scaling issue is finally concluded and we move forward. and also the backlog aka mempool is finally cleared only one scenario can happen.
- the news of moving forward comes out
- price surges upward at another 50% up to 100% from where it is going to be at that moment
- then a correction happens but it will be very short lived and very small because the good news will come out contentiously about bitcoin and all the altcoin bubbles will finally blow up and all the money+profit will fly back to bitcoin and we see another 100% rise.

i am thinking $4000 first then upward towards $8000

this is the million dollar question! in other words hard to give a proper answer to.
for me it is if i see the coin is just starting to pump, not be at the end of the pump pressing its luck for a little bit more stretch. because a coin that hasn't gone up yet can go up 1000% but if it already is up, it can't go up another 1000%!
and also at this point price is also a big factor. you can always pump a coin which is worth 100 satoshi up to a huge price like 100,000 satoshi but you can't pump a coin worth 0.01BTC to 1BTC!!

also lots of other things to consider too. like if the volume is high enough, how are the buy supports, is there any big sell walls ahead.

at least you already know this. that means you are half way there to success.

just place this code in your first post and it automatically updates the balance of each address, hence monitoring the transactions:

are we sure all of this 49BTC is really payment that people made and not just the scammers sending some bitcoin to the wallets to convince victims that others are paying?!

there really isn't any simple method to gain referrals for any service in general.
you need to find a target audience, you can start by putting the referral link in your signature. but mostly i would suggest finding gamblers that may be interested in playing online. and then introduce them to bitcoin and gambling with it online and how easy it is. then give them your link. and as i said it is not easy by any means.

after a certain point it becomes impossible to speculate in altcoin market. in the beginning it was much more clear to see which coins are being accumulated and how much they can go up, but after some pumps happened everything became unclear. right now many pumpers are pumping dead coins even! maybe just for fun of it, the markets that were being reviewed for removal are not rising 100% with a big volume!

it is actually mostly because of the gullibility of people in altcoin market, there are a lot of pumping groups which buy some altcoin and then tell others to buy it and as soon as the followers start buying they dump on them to make profit. and that is why there is no more accumulation and no rules in this market. there is no prediction either!

for example Lisk has gone up 500+% in the past 2 months! it seems to be rising again these days!

that is why i am only trying to jump in and out for a very short term investment to make quick but small profits. not to mention easy!

it actually is also being used as a currency, you just haven't been looking!
do some research, find how many online and offline places are actually accepting bitcoin as payment. and you don't need to even look far. just google where to spend bitcoin and you'll find lists of thousands of places that you can spend it and people do spend it.

you can also look at this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1895526.msg18819433#msg18819433

it has always been like this, bitcoin has always been used as BOTH investment and a currency!

why?!!
people are saving up gold, stocks, and all kinds of shit and never spend them. you don't go to a coffee shop and pay for your coffee with a piece of stock and yet their prices are going up!

if anything bitcoin will rise even more, since it has both attributes and will always have it.

actually it has never been difficult to "dethrone" bitcoin. bitcoin is not perfect!
but the thing you are missing is that nobody ever tried to take its place

a lot of altcoins pretended to do it though. but none of them could even come close. in reality when you start using bitcoin and then use altcoins and compare the experience you will understand clearly what i am talking about here.

otherwise yes, standing outside and just reading some script online written by altcoin pumpers and looking at some numbers like the price and the time between blocks, ... would surely look like some altcoin is better than bitcoin.

there is an X mark on the top left side of the chat box that you can click to hide it.
and chat is not really using that much traffic! i just checked with my firewall, i closed everything else and just left bitsler open. for a couple of minutes and the total amount received was barely 80 KB

also you can click on the gear icon in the chat box and deselect the options like show tips and rains to make the chat messages less crowded.

well there are a lot of factors to consider if we want to begin comparing how much miners are really making as profit while mining each coin. of course it is not just the total. the numbers that i shared are true while ignoring all the costs associated with mining (eg equipment, electricity, labor).

otherwise you first have to let ethereum hasrate grow as big as bitcoin's 3.377 Ehash/s and then let the difficulty also grow to equal bitcoin then let some mining farms shape up and then compare them.
right now the difficulty comparison is ridiculous: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/difficulty-btc-eth.html#6m it can't even be seen on the chart since it is too small!

and also not to mention all the sell pressure that the block reward of ethereum will cause in the long term. it is 14.8 times more pressure! and miners always dump their reward if you want to calculate it it USD. and currently the only reason why that massive sell pressure is not felt is because the coin is being pumped and there are a lot of ICOs running on it which is causing a fake demand. you can't participate in these ICOs with anything else other than buying ETH tokens!

how did you even succeed in doing that!
it is literary impossible to do so because a litecoin address is starting with the letter L
for example: LWdfXUxLBV9nCJ6yk5Ed2pBNhiV7kTaTQJ
and there is a checksum in the address that any wallet uses to verify if the address is valid before letting the user to send anything.

at the same time ethereum addresses are called accounts and start with the hex mark 0x
for example: 0xde0B295669a9FD93d5F28D9Ec85E40f4cb697BAe and don't have checksum so if you put that in the withdrawal address of a litecoin wallet it will reject it.

so unless i am missing something since i am not completely familiar with ETH that is coinbase's fault for not validating the address before allowing you to withdraw.

can you explain why you used this math to calculate how much miners are earning? because it seems completely irrelevant to how much they are earning!

this is how much miners are earning each day based on average blocks that are mined and the fixed block reward:
BTC (last 24 hours) : 1,838 BTC ($3,929,521.3 USD)
ETH (last 24 hours) : 27,200 ETH ($4,245,054.28 USD)

so obviously when your total block reward is 14.8 times more than bitcoin you earn more reward in total. and that total is only 0.08 times more!

so yeah ethereum miners are making 0.08 times more profit than bitcoin miners

whenever i say none of the existing altcoins can replace bitcoin ever, i am talking about these things!

people always love comparing altcoins with bitcoin and say ... is better than bitcoin because it can do such and such thing. and when you start arguing with them you can finally realize that they have never even used that ... in first place!

all these altcoins will show their real faces and problems associated with their protocol as soon as they become big. let some of these altcoins start getting some small traction and then lets see how they can handle a large number of transaction, heck lets see how they can handle years of being under different kinds of attack from media attack to spam attack on the network and on the nodes, miners etc!

but apparently everyone is only interested in how much profit they can gain so they keep saying ... is better.

well from a quick look at you, i can see you are using Coinbase as your bitcoin wallet, specially when you are receiving payments as small as 0.0003BTC so i think you aren't really the one that should be talking about fees and if we are greedy or not

start spending some coins from your Electrum wallet which you keep offline and then after a dozen transactions where you bought some stuff from internet come back here and lets talk more about fees

all the altcoins are for the short term game not the long. you just have to learn when to get in and when to get out.
for now it seems like litecoin is not ready for any rise and it is mostly going down versus bitocin while keeping the USD value somewhat the same.
you can keep watching it and when you saw the signs of rise then jump on board and meanwhile jump on other altcoins that are getting pumped and get off their train fast.

lightning network, no i doubt it because litecoin transactions were already fast enough, it really doesn't need a kind of an offchain solution to make it any faster.
SegWit however was a good addition for many reasons, not only it fixed the malleability issue but also it opens up way for some more development, LN is just one of them. and besides it mostly can open up way for bitcoin's SegWit so that is a win.

and don't confuse the price rise with more usage, the rise will come and it will go to the moon but not because it is used more.

everything points towards an altcoin pump.
back then the orderbooks were nearly empty with occasional buy walls being placed at strategic prices to prevent hard crashes of the altcoin prices while the pumpers kept on accumulating.
after they were done accumulating shitcoins then the spamvertising campaign started and the pump followed. the orderbooks changed and volume went up (as it always does during pumps).

if you look at the charts they look ridiculous. the volume before the pumping month starts is practically nonexistent.

this is actually the key thing to know in altcoin trading and not that many people do it right.
people usually buy into the pump and then i see two things happening with that coin
- it is either a small altcoin with small pumpers which means it drops faster than they can say what the f... and lost their money in a blinking of an eye
- or it is a big altcoin, and whales unload slowly on them and since they want profit they keep holding the bags and watch price slowly go down and meanwhile keep their fingers crossed so maybe price goes back up and they can sell at their dream price with profit. surely they lose a lot of money too.

nah you are just trying to be modest
but actually i like the things you write here, well most of them anyways. keep it up.
