For a starter, I guess OP should go with soccer or NBA as these two are more accessible and have a vast of viewers and bettors as well. And if these two were successfully completed then he can try with esports, likewise you already established some bettors.

Anyway, waiting for mechanics.
3462  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best Ethereum-based gambling sites? on: October 19, 2019, 08:17:09 AM

As of now, there are many gambling sites that are entirely based off Ethereum. But, it's yet to be determined which one brings the most intuitive experience for even the most novice gamblers in the industry.

Afaik, ethereum dapps are for gaming while eos and tron are for gambling so maybe that's the reason eth based dapps isn't that popular.
While some dapps switched to eos ecosystem because of its powerful infrastructure for decentralized application hence a user friendly especially for novice. And by far, dapps made eos and tron much wanted.

3463  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Opinion - The HK protesters should take advantage of Bitcoin on: October 19, 2019, 07:28:06 AM
Security is a big issue - the biggest issue here is if they use fiat payments and the bank suddenly closes their account since they get screwed over. Bitcoin solves this problem completely.

I don't think they are looking at BTC as an investment option and really want it to go up or down. It's fairly stable in it's current state and that's good for them, they don't want to suddenly lose all their money due to a market crash.

What's going to make this interesting is what new payment processor will be taking over here.

I would agree, a good asset that can be alternative for payment instead of using banks. Though we can't say that bitcoin will take over when it comes in payment method as there will be people who will be against it because of its decentralization.

While I think HK is being open for innovation of currency so perhaps the switching isn't that hard, and the mass adoption can be obtain even little by little.
3464  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Didi sold everything for Bitcoin on: October 19, 2019, 06:58:56 AM

Reminds of the bitcoin couple who also travels everywhere. Though they didn't sell all for BTC, its good to know people out there courageous enough to do all these, sell everything for BTC. That is something special at least he is only 40+ unlike some people who did nothing special in their life growing old and did nothing but survive. He is a millionaire so live the dream Didi!
He chose the right path, choosing bitcoin as his investment in exchange of everything he had is something that a real risk taker can do. He will live his life to the fullest with great fortune in the future when bitcoin will hit its new ATH in the future.

He really got the balls to sell everything despite of the unstable market. He must really trust bitcoin enough to sell and live a minimally life though somehow he still fortunate that he lives in a first world country, I mean we know the support that the government gave to homeless people.

Hoping his bitcoin is on the secured wallet and with his revelation, I'm sure his privacy is limited now. Praying for their safety.

<…> So what OS you would suggest? Windows ? If its window 10 then i still pass. I do consider on using 7 instead. <…>
Windows 7 Support ends on January 14th 2020. That is just a few months down the road, and will leave a Windows 7 based computer with no further security updates nor updates, nor support from Microsoft. Windows will be Windows for good or bad, but if you are on it, one should not lag behind version upgrades too long.


I would agree, just recently upgrade to windows 10 even windows 7 is still works fine. Sad but we have to let go.

Back to OP, I think even we use the latest OS if hackers did find our system vulnerable, they can hack it anytime and the least that we can do is not to put too many extensions nor just seldomly use chrome.

If satoshi becomes active again on the 10th anniversary. Then...?

Old members saw Satoshi, when he was active on bitcointalk. But for those (Including me) who have bad luck, who have passed the almost 10 years to hear about Bitcoin! They will ever see Satoshi again on Bitcointalk ?

I read a thread before wherein Theymos and Satoshi is discussing about bitcoin and blockchain technicalities and that actually blow my mind. How lucky Theymos for interacting that legendary icon, isn't it?

Though, I don't know what thread it is as I'm just browsing some threads back then and that thread caught my eye. I know, deep down there, Satoshi is watching us. Lol!

Hello, can I take part in this contest with a pencil drawing? I ask this question because I cannot design on a computer or smartphone.

I think so, as long as it's an ART.





Cool and I thought that's a foot. Hahaha!
Happy 10th anniversary bitcointalk.org!

Hackers have been distributing a compromised version of the official Tor Browser that's packed with malware designed to steal bitcoin and spy on users. Security firm ESET says it's been going on for "many years." http://ow.ly/KXTC50wOt53

Geez, we are all clueless that ToR had already been attacked by hackers for years. What else could be next then?

There's no way you could directly blame anything on Bitcoin, though. If these people couldn't use Bitcoin, they would just use something else.

The fact that being pseudonym had been taken advantage by these people. They see it as a gateway for criminal acts considering it took almost 4 years for authorities to caught these maniacs. Imagine of how many videos are being sold from their 8 terabyte storage.

I pity those children.  Cry

Indeed a roller coaster ride, it sounds cliche but this word suits best for the movement of bitcoin.

Though, bubble really burst out last year of and even by  now there is no sign of bull run and more likely to be on a stable manner. While some says that the movement is more organic growth but personally this is what made some people distant their investment, all they want is quick bucks in their pocket.
3471  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: BW.com - serious warning!! on: October 18, 2019, 03:43:44 AM

The general logic is that the more volume an exchange generates, the more people are trading there. That used to be the case with high volume exchanges, but in the last year or so high volume is a worthless metric.

Seriously yeah, since last year I heard some exchange sites tampering the volume just to rank up in coinmarketcap and when you look upon the site there is nothing specific volume. And by far, this reason had made less reliable for coinmarketcap. To be honest, I'm just using it now for checking the coin ranking.
3472  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and kiddie porn on: October 17, 2019, 12:39:39 PM
You give people privacy, they use it.

Probably they ABUSE it.
And this by far is sick and gross of pedophiles. I might assume that the site is the one who advise to use bitcoin as mode of payment to those who want to hide their identity.

On the best side, the criminals are now behind bars, however some surely will wait the news to be over and business as usual again.
3473  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: here's a place to trade your cryptocurrency for any merchandise on: October 17, 2019, 11:11:55 AM
Hi guys, we are building an automated market for exchange goods and services with crypto.
Please check our website if you're interested: www.ethconomy.io  Wink


Just visited your site and I thought that you have already some goods and services posted on your site. And I sense that you're most likely to have a token or do crowdsale?

However, would it be better to advertise it when it's fully functional? I mean people will definitely have a not-so-good impression about your site. It's kinda plain and even don't have Menu.

Hello there, EmCoin.

I think you posted on wrong board.
Please move your Ann thread in the Announcement Section. Just click the move button found at the lower left side of the page.

Move it here. Announcement ( Altcoins )
3475  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Let's stand against Bounty Scammer. on: October 17, 2019, 07:42:24 AM
At this day, why would you engage in bounty hunting in the first place? You risk getting scammed, the project might flop and your earned tokens will be worthless, it might never be listed on exchanges, and even if everything works out, your reward earned during weeks of posting and clicking can end up being just a few dollars. It's not 2017 anymore, when you can earn hundreds of dollars for some retweets, people should move on already.

Apparently, they're taking their chances to earn even they know they the risk beyond it. However, few times are enough not to continue wasting time and better yet move on.

Perhaps, even ICOs regain their spot, people won't buy it anymore because of the risk and definitely just a waste of time and money.

I guess everyone here should boycott the bounty campaigns, let's see if they can still raise the money they needed.
3476  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Pricing everyday items in SATs on: October 17, 2019, 06:32:56 AM
FYI 10 thousand satoshi is simply 0.00010000 or 0.0001 BTC. Is that 0.1 mBTC? I don't even know, i also refuse to use that.

Haha 0.1 mBTC is actually confusing.

Tbh, I prefer to read 0.0001 mbtc than 10k satoshis, I don't know but reading it on decimals is much easier. Or maybe if this value had become our norm of daily spending then we get be all used to it.

I would love a physical representation of Bitcoin and I'm sure over the years, i've seen the coins that have a QR code basically stamped on them.

Nah, obviously people don't want anymore to carry some coins and will prefer to have the QR code to be scan on machine and on their phone as well.
3477  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: One Satoshi, From Which National Money Are More Valuable? on: October 17, 2019, 05:28:30 AM
Perhaps time will come that one satoshi will have an interesting value while fiat already eaten by deflation.
Nothing to compare for now since both are not that worthy but one thing we can assure is that only bitcoin will have a decent value afterwards.
3478  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Problem with Watch-only wallet and bitcoin address on: October 16, 2019, 04:21:14 PM
ps. try using TestNet for testing these things. that way it won't cost you anything and you also don't spam bitcoin network. Electrum wallet supports TestNet.

OP wanna try things even out if his control. Even though that cost him, it seems he got the answer he's looking for.
Though now I wonder what's with the 228th address and why he picked that? Hahaha!

One thing I realized here, everything in crypto is such a genius.
3479  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Localbitcoins is intentionally trying to lowkey steal from its customers (me) on: October 16, 2019, 02:08:30 PM
I am sure though that people behind LocalBitcoins are not allowing the goodwill and reputation they worked for years to go to waste.

But they seem reluctant and quiet about the issue. If they really care about their reputation and considering this isn't the first time, they should have at least a control team that handles this kind of issue. Honestly, implementing KYC is becoming the escape goat of fraudster.

Though not really fan of LB, and just use to buy some satoshis before, hence not used on storing my coins in any exchange site.
3480  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Craig Wright as "Bitcoin creator" at a conference in London!!! WTF??? on: October 16, 2019, 12:12:22 PM
This conference is indeed a circus and I don't know why people are still buying it. As they say, bad publicity is still publicity as so Craig Wright.

While Craig Wright was in fact the author of the whitepaper and all of Satoshi's posts on bitcointalk.org, I feel he should give more credit to his partner in crime Dave Keilman who died a horrible death before BTC's rise to popularity.

I'm sorry? I think I didn't get you right.
