Bitcoin at one stage was backed by nothing,

Bitcoin (value) is still backed by nothing. Just like the value of any major fiat currencies.

You not going to lose your investment. If you lose money so does the website you investing is and why would they want to lose money ? Its actually one of the best investments you can make since losing hurts the house way more then you. Its in % so of u just lost 1% of 10btc the house just lost 1% of 10000btc make sense ? Put your money there andnforgrt about it. Everything has risks dont listen to these people that saynits a bad idea and you can lose everything because you won't and it is a good idea.

Stop posting BS. Of course he can lose. House has mathematical edge, but that doesn't prevent player(s) from being lucky and draining the bankroll. He could also lose to scammy operator who can disappear with funds (as we've seen in the past) or he could poorly choose kelly option etc.

Key factors to consider whether or not to invest in the site are: 1 - do I trust the site owner(s) enough, 2- what's the ratio of daily wagered and current bankroll (and what will be your % of bankroll).

Also, investing in house should always be considered a long term thing, if you don't have patience - don't bother.

It's not "backed" by the USD, anymore than gold/silver/any commodity is. Just because USD/BTC rate is most commonly used to track Bitcoin value, it doesn't mean that Bitcoin is dependent on USD. You can use any other currency exchange rate (just like CNY/BTC is probably more popular in China) if that makes you happy.

Owner has never bankrolled the site himself....and lucky him. The site has long been in the red...

The site is +35 BTC in profit.

WTF is your problem anyway? You're throwing random accusations of owner scamming investors (with zero proofs), you keep posting BS of site being in red etc and then it turns out you're invested in SD and begging to go back to 10x kelly.


Is it still possible to have that legacy option? I mistakenly downgraded to a 2xKelly and would have liked to remain at 5x or 10x

Explain yourself. Is it a lousy attempt to freak other investors out so you get bigger share in bankroll?

Post this in the scam accusation board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0

Include all the proofs you've mentioned etc.

I'm not familiar with that site and don't think I've ever heard of them before. Do they have official thread here at all?

hello, just want to inform if safedice just launched their signature campaign.
SafeDICE.com Signature Campaign
[...]
Signature Campaign Rules


  • Minimum of 15 posts per week. Users who are unable to make 15 posts a week will receive the partial payment, and then be removed from the campaign.
[...]

Minimum posts requirement was later raised to 18/week.
3429  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Using Url Shorteners on: July 07, 2016, 09:01:08 PM
... but also wanted to shrink it down to earn something from users who click on my link. Is it allowed? If so, are there some limitations? Because i know people can make posts entirely just to get someone to click their link. But what if i typed my post detailed enough that it deserved to have a shortened link.

By the rule of thumb - referral links are not allowed, but it's down to the mods to make judgement whether leave/delete your post. The (unofficial?) rules only say something like "no referral link spam" iirc.

The only chance you could get the mods to turn the blind eye on your ref link is:

a) create constructive, interesting topic, not something clearly created just to sneak in the ref link
b) be transparent about it, don't hide it under shorteners and provide 'clean' link option along the ref link.

Yes, we can arrange to pay you directly to your SafeDICE account - and as you pointed out this is a great suggestion, anyone else who wants this option, please let me know.
...

Thanks.

You could consider making all the payments to SD accounts (i.e. starting from 2nd week), it's a standard practice, and by doing this you make sure that all the participants are at least familiar with the business they're advertising.
3431  Economy / Services / Re: SafeDICE.com Signature Campaign - Weekly payouts up to 0.025 BTC + bonuses on: July 07, 2016, 09:53:23 AM
Hi, I'd like to sign up for signature + avatar.

My BTC addy: 1CstuTvCxadzEq3GzxTsDpB55VJJTJoScd

But I wouldn't mind getting paid directly to my SD account, username: pawel7777 if that's an option (it should be!)

Are we allowed to replace links in the sig with referral links? It would be great.

ps. Both signatures seem to be aligned left, rather than one being centred.

Greetings to our loyal players and to potential new players,

Many of you have noticed that there can be some delay in answering support emails or replying to your questions here on this thread. This is a valid observation, and I want to inform you that from now on , there will be more focus on support and community, since I will be assisting Sam with support, replying to your questions here on btctalk, and other new projects.

Important notice:

We will be starting a signature campaign soon, so please check out this thread on a regular basis.

Also there are more exciting stuff in the works right now, that I cannot yet discuss but you will find out about it in due time.

We are looking forward to welcoming new players and investors, and there are exciting times ahead of us.

Best Regards,
Alex


So are you the PR person from the vacancy advertised here?:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1411417.0

or are you only responsible for customer support?


This is great, but I'd like for Sam to just confirm this is legit and that you're not just someone trying to take advantage of the situation.

Great news for our affiliates - we now pay you 0.25% commission for all wagers made by your referred users in the MULTIPLY BTC HI-LO game! This should provide a nice earnings boost for active affiliates.

Noice!

Does it work for all referred or only for new ones? Will the dice referral earnings be shown separately from faucet commission?

Also, what's your commission on wagers? Can't see any info on this anywhere.

The more concerning problem is the frequent downtimes.

This.

Daily wagered and profits were pretty good lately. No complaints here. But downtimes every 2-3 days are really worrying.
3435  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BitCoin as Payment option on: June 22, 2016, 12:52:24 PM
Hi,
I work for a SaaS based company called JigoCloud http://www.jigocloud.com and we are currently thinking about offering BitCoin as a payment option for our customers. 
Can anyone see any disavantages? We are slightly concerned about security issues etc..How long do people think BitCoin will be around? We don't want to develop something and than see the popularity of bitcoin decline.

Thanks
John



Just use payment processor (BitPay, CoinBase etc), you'd be accepting BTC but could opt to convert 100% into fiat money. So no price fluctuation risk, no need for complex implementation, no storage risk etc.

Although I'm not sure how do they cope with confirmation times nowadays, before RBF and full blocks they accepted 0 confirmations.

That's probably the best and safest way to start, and if BTC turns to be popular among your customers, you could then accept bitcoins directly (if that's what you want).
3436  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin have lost more than $100 in a day... on: June 21, 2016, 08:44:46 PM
I also think that the price drop has to do with the upcoming britain leaving europe possibility.


How would that be related? I could find arguments for brexit to drive BTC price up not down.

Upcoming is the referendum, which is non-binding anyway. Even if 'Leave' wins, the exit wouldn't happen any time soon.
3437  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Dutyfree.io - Buy cheap cigarettes with Bitcoin on: June 21, 2016, 03:49:15 PM
When the site is dutyfree why just restrict to cigarettes. Let us start bringing more products to the site which is available in any duty free shop. This will help you cater more people and also help everyone to get things under one roof.

I am not sure but I think that laws for selling alcohol online are stricter than they are for cigarettes.
So maybe that is why they only sell cigarettes.

Laws are probably the same/very similar. But selling alcohol online internationally would be just too difficult. It's heavy, fragile (glass bottles), more likely to attract Customs attention, and most of all, it's not very profitable, as the difference in pricing between the countries is not as drastic as it is with cigarettes. The potential savings would be eaten by postage and packaging costs.

Hello, I had a problem with your site. Someone withdraw from my account on SafeDice while Im auto-rolling. I thought I already lost from betting but when I checked the stats, my net is a profit. Can you check my account? From which it was transferred? username is le03rd.

Been playing other sites like PrimeDice, Bitsler and Rollin.io. Never had this kind of problem.

You can check 'history' (click profile, top-right) and see whether there was any withdrawal or not.

Im selling 2 15$ Amazon gift card + 1 20$ Amazon gift card for %75 of BTC. Pm me, im still trying to figure out exchange method in here seems like we can use escrow or idk..

Wouldn't be easier to use purse.io? Make a purchase on buyer's behalf and you should be able to get 80%-85% of face value in BTC.
3440  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Craig Wright is back. Now he's a blockchain patent magnate on: June 20, 2016, 08:53:24 PM
Yeah, we've all missed him, but now he's back and all over the news again.

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-bitcoin-wright-patents-idUSKCN0Z61GM

Craig Wright, the Australian who claimed to be the inventor of bitcoin, is attempting to build a large patent portfolio around the digital currency and technology underpinning it, according to associates of his and documents reviewed by Reuters.

Since February, Wright has filed more than 50 patent applications in Britain through Antigua-registered EITC Holdings Ltd, which a source close to the company confirmed was connected to Wright, government records show.
