I know a lot of different card games ...but the gambling industry will not take these card games.. because they take too long to play. They want games like Poker ..because they are quick and it can generate a lot of wagering in a very short time and this obviously increase their profits over time.

Would I like to see these games Online? Well, I do not think so.... these games are more suited to a more intimate time around a camp fire or on a rainy day with friends and family ..without the stress of gambling and the disappointment of losing constantly.  Wink Wink

Guys, this one was one of the hardest challenges that I tackled in a very long time.... Pragmatic bonuses are incredibly hard to do lately and I struggled for 40 hours to finish this one.  Embarrassed

If I never see Christmas Carol Megaways and Christmas Big Bass Bonanza ever again, it will be too soon! Well, I hope the reward is good for this one, because I wasted a LOT of money on this challenge.  Angry

Did those two really give you more trouble than Buffalo Power? 
I'm approaching 10,000 spins without a 120x now on that one.

Yea.... Buffalo Power was really the easier one of the bunch, but I guess timing is key here.... it depends how many people are playing that Slot at the time.  Huh In any way... I spend about $580 on this challenge to complete it and I got my reward of $203 for it today. (The wagering increased my post-monthly bonus amount a little bit and it added to my tickets for the draw)  Wink

It was a hard grind, but it was a bunch of fun too... if I just wagered it on other Slots... I might have lost it all without any reward.  Wink
3423  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A good man/woman leaves an inheritance on: December 16, 2021, 11:32:12 AM
I think the best "inheritance" to your family and friends will be the "Crypto" knowledge that you leave behind. If that knowledge can equip them to make a decent living or to earn passive income.... then I should think it must be a better "inheritance" than simply throwing money into their lap for free.

Now this can be in the form of funding for a "Crypto" course or books on the subject or even just tips and tricks to boost their knowledge so that they can earn money.

Another saying says.... “If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.”  Wink
3424  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Xi, Putin wants Bitcoin without wanting Bitcoin on: December 16, 2021, 10:02:35 AM
Well, why would two countries want to trust a piece of software that are run by mostly non-communist developers? Putin showed some interest in Ethereum because he thought Vitaly Dmitriyevich "Vitalik" Buterin a Russian born would be a good option to pick. The thing is Vitaly Dmitriyevich "Vitalik" Buterin is a Canadian citizen, so it is not a perfect fit.

These two countries want FULL control over their digital currency, like they have over their own Fiat currencies and Bitcoin does not give them FULL control.  Wink
3425  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 90% is already there, only 10% is left on: December 15, 2021, 01:29:05 PM
There are more than enough "Satoshi" around for everyone on this planet, so the Supply is not the problem. The problem come in when people are hoarding too much bitcoins and that there are not enough bitcoins in circulation to make it viable to use it as a "currency".

We will be long gone by the time when all the bitcoins are mined on this planet... so let's not worry about that. We should focus more on the equal distribution of bitcoins and not how many there are.  Wink
3426  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Understanding the Ponzi Narrative on: December 14, 2021, 08:43:37 PM
OP, the biggest "flaw" in their narrative is this ===> Aggressive Marketing.

In any Ponzi Scheme, people joining these schemes are encourage to "market" the scheme to some kind of "network marketing" downline to keep the influx of new capital into the scheme. The people coming in...gets some reward for the people they introduce to the scheme... (Example : Level 1 = 10% / Level 2 = 5% etc...etc..)

Bitcoin has none of this... Anyone can buy bitcoins without ANY kind of reward system linked to it. Nobody are told to market "Bitcoin" to anyone .. you can just buy and hoard or Sell or use it when you want.  Wink

I know Ponzi schemes ..because I have "tested" it multiple times before. Bitcoin is a "Currency" or a "Commodity" ...like Cash is a currency and also a Commodity when you trade with it on Forex.  Wink
3427  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin main use case now on: December 14, 2021, 03:35:55 PM
You are so wrong.....

Go to ANY Online Crypto casino now and see what coin does they accept? I bet you it is Bitcoin and some other less popular Alt coins. The main use case for Bitcoin is not trading, because the casino industry is huge.

Do you know of any Alt coin ATM's out there.. that are distributed as much as Bitcoin ATM's are? No, because most retailers accept Bitcoin as a payment option.  Wink
3428  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What happens to my Bitcoin when I die? on: December 14, 2021, 10:20:40 AM
Well, the best thing to do is to leave instructions with your lawyer for your family to find your "Private Keys" and passwords. I have hidden mine in a secret location and I left instructions with my lawyer that only my friends and family would be able to decipher. (Easy explanation : "Please find a little bag, buried at our favorite tree at our best family holiday location")

Just make it more complex.... so that the lawyer could not find the "hoard" by asking a couple of simple questions. Prepare the family that they will receive a question as part of your Will.  Wink

3429  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Exactly how does BTC development go on, if the current group all quits or dies? on: December 13, 2021, 03:45:00 PM
Well I know Gavin gave the "key" to the Kingdom over to the Lead maintainer "Wladimir J. van der Laan" back in 2014.... so I guess he has a backup plan to give over the "key" to the next person IF something happens to him. This "key" is actually not a physical or virtual key, but just "rights" to privileged actions. (Like sending "emergency" broadcasts and certain repositories)

The succession plans/Disaster plans MUST be a secret .. because enemies of Bitcoin or crazy people will harm those people, IF they want to sabotage the experiment. (A single point of failure will be a target, if the enemy know who to take down)  Wink
3430  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Selling Bitcoin on Coinbase in South Africa on: December 13, 2021, 03:35:25 PM
Why use Coinbase if Luno.com are the preferred site in South Africa to Buy/Sell Bitcoin and Ethereum?  A lot of my South African friends are using Luno.com and they are VERY satisfied with their service. A lot of the African countries are also using Luno.com ...so they have a nice trading volume and it is quick and easy.  Wink

I will stay away from Coinbase if I am not a USA citizen, because you will probably never get your money out of it.. after you bought some coins. They have VERY strict KYC/AML requirements.. so not even a VPN access to their service is recommended.  Wink
3431  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [ANN] Chrono Kings - a game/world Within the Block Chain on: December 13, 2021, 03:26:39 PM
I was a huge fan of a MMO (Text based) RPG game called BatMud (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BatMUD) which was created in 1990. I was absolutely obsessed with this game and I would have been a full blown addict, IF it was linked to some kind of Crypto coin back then.

The day when they release a game like https://www.bat.org/ (BatMUD) with Crypto currency as a in-game currency... I will go nuts. If you ever want to design something like that, please notify me when it is done. (I will be your #1 Fan/Player/Promoter)  Wink
3432  Economy / Economics / Re: No where is actually safe on: December 13, 2021, 03:06:24 PM
You know..... The people losing or not profiting from Crypto currencies are the people who are not patient or those people who were forced to Sell early.. before they could make any profits. I have a long-term strategy with my Crypto investments and I make sure that the money that I invest in Crypto .... is disposable money and not debt.

If you use debt to fund your Crypto investments... you are one of those who will not be able to wait for the best time to Sell... and those are the people who are losing.  Wink
3433  Economy / Economics / Re: Tonga will probably be the next country to make Bitcoin legal tender on: December 13, 2021, 09:56:13 AM
Well, the president of El Salvador said that the main reason why they started to accept Bitcoin as legal tender, was for remittance purposes. The Money transmitters are making a killing by charging people crazy high fees and that is not helping these citizens. (Most of them are working in other countries and sending money home to their kids and family)

It will also open new tourism opportunities for "Bitcoin" tourists...because some people earn bitcoins and they cannot spend it in their own countries. They then go on Bitcoin holidays in countries where they can spend it.  Grin Grin Grin

I was very lucky on the previous "Kiss" Slot, but this new Kiss Reels of Rock are very hardcore and the variance is very high!!! The RTP is 96.2% which is above the slots average of about 95% to 96% so you will not go out of pocket very quickly.  Wink

I like the Cat Clans Slot more from Snowborn Studios.. the best thing is the Cat-A-Pult Free Spins Feature  Grin ... it gives you the Tribal cats feel... with a twist.  Wink  I am a dog person... but I loved those crazy cats!!
3435  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Isn’t KYC anti-ethical to Bitcoin? on: December 13, 2021, 08:50:51 AM
Bitcoin adoption was difficult at first, so third party wallet providers and exchanges came onto the scene to supposedly help with that, but they killed all pseudo anonymity. So if you are serious about pseudo anonymity, you will have to go the extra mile to protect that. (Mixer Services)

Let's not forget that "Cash" has pseudo anonymity... so it is not something illegal. The problem is ... some people misuse the pseudo anonymity for criminal activities (as with cash) and that has given Bitcoin a bad reputation. (which is not fair at all, because the majority of people use it for legal purposes)  Wink

I hope the two official protests will not change anything.

Well I hope this does not happen, because Verstappen earned his win.!   ........My nerves was shot in that last lap.... exhilarating stuff, right to the checkered flag.  Cheesy  (It is a pity that the Safety cars were brought on.. it would have been a whole other story)

I think the Hamilton supporters must be gutted.... but there are always another season for them to try again! Well done once again to the King of the podium.... Verstappen!!!

As I expected, delisting fun/btc pair from binance made people lose faith and start panic selling.
Now we see the lowest price in 2021.
Never gets old, "The time to buy is when there's blood in the streets", panic selling are for those who gets blinded in the short term or so they say that doesn't have the risky appetites on what they invested. Alt markets are favoring on NFTs and Metaverse but I think FUN will have its time, it's just a matter of patience.

I don’t think that’s the right way to sell FUN, because it never really depended on Binance for its value rather it has a huge member base and utility which is helping it grow. Also you’re absolutely correct if a token in this case FUN is legit then one should buy it hands down while it’s cheap or falling, and then simply hodl it as it’s bound to give good results in the long run.

This is a sunk cost fallacy. If you keep buying FUN you might just end up more rekt. This token is down more than 90% in the long run so I am not sure what good results you are expecting.

The tokens that do well ...are the tokens with utility ..and having only 2 or 3 casinos accepting FUN as a deposit option ..does not really help it's cause. It is a bonus that it is still listed, but it needs a lot of trading volume to stay on there.  Roll Eyes

Also, we know all Alt coins take a knock when the Bitcoin price goes down... so it does not come as a huge surprise that the FUN token will also take a knock ...seeing that the Bitcoin price has dropped this much.  Wink
3438  Economy / Gambling / Re: BitVest, The worst casino I have ever seen on: December 12, 2021, 10:25:00 AM


and now you are blaming the site because of your own mistake? sending litecoin to bitcoin address? aren't you here against bitvest ?

I think OP is intentionally creating an issue against Bitvest, you send a coin to the wrong wallet then blame Bitvest for not fixing it, in the first place this would not have happened if you did the right thing, then finding fault on Bitvest because you want to justify the error you have done.
You should have waited for the support to answer or follow it up from time to time because it's you're carelessness that caused this, will other casinos allow other players to deposit a coin to a wrong address, I don't think they will allow it.

I think he send LTC to a Bitcoin Wallet through a 3rd party and things went haywire and now he wants to blame the receiver (BitVest) for not responding to him. They probably never received the LTC/Bitcoin in the first place, so they have nothing to respond on.

I would suggest you setup a LiteCoin wallet and then send the LTC directly from that wallet and not through a 3rd party service provider. That way you can sign a wallet as proof that you are the owner of that wallet.  Roll Eyes
3439  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you even want all your BTC to be anonymous. on: December 12, 2021, 10:17:20 AM
So there are some serious no KYC people on this board. There are many who think all BTC should be anonymous.
We continually have several threads on it getting posts all the time.
Even a one I started about privacy vs. anonymity https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5366195

But..... does anyone worry that some of that might come back to bite them in the ass at some point in time when it comes to taxes / proof of ownership / other things.

Case in point. I bought 1BTC on Coinbase in 2016 at under $600 a BTC I sold it this year. I know I am going to take it up the ass in taxes. It is what it is.

Now lets say I bought 1BTC anonymously and I can find someone to give me the $50000 in cash today. I should report it and if whoever gives me the money should report it, and if we don't report it it does violate the law. But, whatever. Once again, that is up to how an individual wants to do something.

Here comes the kicker.
Lets say at the last big bullrun in 2017 I bought 10BTC @ $16000 when it hit $60000 this I wanted to sell and get a really nice house somewhere. If all BTC I accumulated back in 2017 was anonymous. I am going to really take it up the ass in taxes since I can't prove what I paid for it....since it was anonymous. So the IRS will take it as $0 cost.

So following that, so do you really want it all with no paper trail. Or even a difficult to follow trail, since if it is difficult to follow and you do have to prove it you might spend a lot in time and effort (read money) proving it.

Just a random Saturday thought.

-Dave

Well, I think most people have Pseudo Anonymity when they use cash .. right. There are not actually people taking note of all the serial numbers of your paper notes and following all your cash transactions.... so why should Pseudo anonymity or financial privacy be an issue with Bitcoin?

People do not have the ability to see from the cash that you give them.. How much cash you have left, so why should this be any different with your Bitcoin transactions? We are Pseudo anonymous to protect that information... not because we want to evade taxes.  Wink
3440  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bonus of over 1000 Euros stuck behind wager wall, fml on: December 11, 2021, 04:45:37 PM
I suggest you take a look at the bonus terms on the link below. It will explain what you need to do.
https://www.clubriches.com/en/contacts/bonus-policy

Their wagering requirement is 30X.
The source says that both the deposited money and the bonus money count towards the wagering requirements. But a deposit has to be made.

If you decide to try and fulfill the requirements, you need to know that not all games contribute equally to the wagering requirements. The only games that contribute 100% are slots and Slots and Scratch Cards. The rest contributes 10% or less. What does that mean for you? If you play Blackjack, for example, and you wager €100, due to a 10% wagering contribution, it's like you only wagered €10. But if you play slots or scratch cards, a €100 bet is considered a €100 wager.

It's all explained in the bonus terms I linked above. Read through it.

I do not think he wants to spend money to get to the 30x wager requirements. He just wants to find a way for someone else to fall for this and then deposit into his account... for the "bonus" that does not exists.

He or she could care less about your wagering tips, because he is just posting this to scam more people. I seriously doubt that he would take the time to read the ToS.  Roll Eyes
