, when you convert your points without putting big amounts each 7 points will give you 0.11 chips
that means 63 points will give you 0.99 chips , while when you conver big amonts every 66 points will give you 1 chip


He is not exploiting anything. You are supposed to get .11 for 7 betcoins. 

This is what I see when i go to convert...




This equals 0.106 chips per 7 Betcoin Points. What they're doing is essentially exploiting the rounding error from 0.106 to 0.11 (as Betcoin doesn't convert in fractions) to get a ~9% bonus.

Betcoin said they round down...so next time you convert..do the math based on how many chips or fraction of chips you got...and you will see that it is less than 1 chip for 66 betcoins. SyGambler has not done anything wrong.

What he said was literally "Typically, the correction is a round down scenario." In other words, that's what's likely going to happen when they fix the issue. Not what happens now. Aka, it is NOT working as intended, and they are going to be fixing it soon. Basic English, my friend.

They are not going to fix anything as the way it is now you never get the full amount they always round it down no matter what...I have done the math, SyGambler has done the math...and you are naïve in taking at face value that you get 1 chip per 66 betcoins without confirming it.

So if you convert 66 points at once, you get 1.04 chips instead of 1.00? I don't have 66 to test that with at the moment.

What is the min. dads /hrs for POS?
Didn't see in ann
Thx.

i think its a 24 hours...

Yes, it's 24 hours, but if you don't have enough HYPER, you're competing with people who have more, so it may not show up until a couple of days (but then you'll get as much as you would for those couple of days). It all equals out, because it takes into account the age of the coins also.

While this is close to true, not exactly. The more often you stake, the more you will stake, as you compound it. For example:

I have a coin with 100% per day stake
I have 100 coins
In 24h, it would stake 100 coins, or I can wait 48h. So let's compare the difference

Scenario A) I delay for 24h. On stake time, I now have 100+200 coins=300
Scenario B) I do it at 24h each time. Day 1 I now have 200, day 2 I now have 400

This is an important difference.

I know I read back in the day that staking once a month got you about as much as staking every day for a month. I'd have to search for that post to find how that was figured out.

However, from what I understand:

Scenario A) If you delay staking with Hyper, you'll get more HYPER from your stake because the coins are older.
Scenario B) For your staked Hyper, you'll get less stake because they're not as old.

It's around a 1-2h difference on age, so the longer you wait to do it, the more you're losing out on due to compound interest. At 5%/month, that makes it even more important, as that's 5% of 5% per month, or 0.125%. While that may not seem like a lot, that is then 1.5% per year, which then compounds even more from there.

I don't think 0.02btc can somehow can make any profit but if you put effert in it then sure you will get profit in it too..how about invest in it on any gambling site's bankroll..or try to improve your trading skills with this

Trading could be good for OP, but investing your money into a gambling site's bankroll isn't clever. You can end up losing your investment pretty quick in that kind of investment or wait for it to grow slowly. Afaik, you cannot pull your investment in those sites until the terms are completed e.g. the investment should stay here with us for a week.

Huh? There's only one site I know of with a divestment lock. The vast majority allow you to invest/divest within seconds if you want. Not sure where your information is coming from.

Thanks for all your replies! They've been very useful. BTW, the site in question is: http://CryptoBargains.com/

I like the design and the setup! But first of all, I'd make sure all your content is right. For example, your FAQ (http://cryptobargains.com/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=4) is empty. These things show pretty poorly to potential customers.

It really is a shame that so many scammers exist online. It's a good thing there are at least some honest people out there still who do not lie or scam people to make a quick buck. Sometimes I wonder if anything in this section that is not a scam.

Couldn't agree more. I have a project I'd love to look into taking investors on with, but with the massive amount of scam attempts and such around here, I just feel like I'd lead myself into a dark hole and get my reputation destroyed over an honest opportunity. It sucks that people are too lazy to work anymore, and want everyone else to do it for them so they can reap the benefits. Can't even go to an online Bitcoin poker/dice/casino site anymore without a flood of people constantly begging for free money so they can gamble, then begging more when they lose it.

I did not mean to be misleading and I am glad Nick came in to clear everything up.

I want nothing but the best for the company.

So you made up an official looking account, lied, and sent out outdated information that wasn't supposed to be public? I'd hate to see what happens to companies you want to fail.

Not to mention his post, after reading it again twice, refers to himself as being part of the company throughout. "We" this, "we" that, "we are licensed," etc. You don't refer to others as "we." This was intentionally misleading people.

1) It would keep from writing a script that constantly (x period) crawls the entire site, pulling images and everything (which would be a waste of bandwidth on your end)

A crawler script should not be loading the images, unless you are automating your entire browser or something.

Any crawler scripts should load only the html markup which is still a lot more text than an api but it's not "too much" compared to the images.

I was thinking about using something like a document import through PHP (it's been a while, but basically just pull in the page and parse what's needed from there). I figured that would also include images and such as well?

Using something like file_get_contents(url)? That would only include the html markup text and not include any images.

However lets not derail this thread too much, if you would like to chat a bit more PM me.

Thanks, and you got it. I'm new to parsing data still, :p. I need to get into actually reading specific blocks but I suck with reg expressions. Anyways, you're right -- no more derailing, Smiley.

Dooglus, can you tell how much bandwith just-dice is taking per hour when you are in the chat tab? I assume its not so much but it might pile up.

Occassionally i have to use my smartphone internet and i didnt find a way yet to measure the bandwith usage per tab in firefox.

So can you give an estimate number for hourly bandwith usage?

Great question, as always.

I just lost the whole morning trying to figure out an answer. I was hoping that the socket.io module would provide a way of keeping track of bytes sent and received, but it doesn't appear to. Even worse, I don't think it would even be able to, because the data that goes over the websocket is compressed using the 'deflate' algorithm, and that happens transparently in the browser and isn't even visible to the application level. So with some code changes I could get the site to tell you how much data it is sending and receiving per hour, but that would be the uncompressed amount, which isn't what you care about when you look at your phone bill.

I don't have a good idea at all of the bandwidth usage, which is why I was hoping to be able to tell you "just type /bandwidth and it will tell you" - but I can't. Yet. If ever.

Also I guess the bandwidth usage would vary a lot depending on how many big bets are being made, and how much people are chatting.

I think this is over-complicating it. Anyone with an Android phone already has an app that tracks bandwidth on a per-app basis. So just zero out usage (or keep up with your current usage in Chrome/whatever) and then leave the site up for 15m (or 10m or whatever you want to extrapolate from) and see how much the usage of that browser has changed.

Here is the first batch of games:
Preorder Mad Max - $25.90
Door Kickers - $6.99
SpeedRunners - $3.90
Don’t Touch Anything - $3.99
Rogue Legacy - $4.49
Depth - $9.90
Crusader Kings 2 - $9.99
Gothic 3 - $3.90
Homeworld Remastered Collection - $16.90
Spec Ops: The Line - $5.90
Invisible, Inc. - $12.99
Magicite - $5.49
Choice of Robots - $3.49

Make sure to check them out! There are many good games among them. Choice of Robots is only text-based but received an overwhelmingly positive rating on steam and what we've seen from mad max up till now looks promising!

Question, and it's a little early on my end to ask this probably, but I figure it's worth dealing with now than working it out later... is there any chance of adding a pricing API? Essentially, what I'd like to be able to do is pull all games between x and y prices. Two reasons for asking for a pingable list:

1) It would keep from writing a script that constantly (x period) crawls the entire site, pulling images and everything (which would be a waste of bandwidth on your end)

and

2) The list sorting doesn't have any URL associated with it, so I can't just crawl a specific URL and have it automatically sorting the games based on price and then crawling until it hits the y bound

//stuff about pizza parties and freerolls

Essentially, there are three groups of people in the crypto world:

1) 99%: those who want to get rich for free/by doing nothing (aka "I'm going to exploit the crap out of everything I can to make an extra penny because it'll make me rich later!")

2) 0.7%: those who just do freerolls because they aren't good enough to play for real money and/or find that most players are so ridiculously loose/donkeyish that you can't do anything without going all-in and hoping they don't suck out on you

3) 0.3%: those who play ring games/paid tournaments

The hard part is landing #3s. And I'll be the first to admit I fall in #2. I like poker, it's fun and all... but I'm not good enough to take part in paid tournaments/cash games because there are far too many donkeys. I managed to win a bit on Betcoin the other day but that's because someone who kept going all-in every single hand (and had gone from 4 chips to 33 by doing so, winning random hands people called him on) pushed against my KK and lost.

Could you please explain a bit more? Like a section for listing gameshop websites with affiliate programs or something like allkeyshop.com?

So, basically, my site deals with gaming news/reviews/guides/etc., but that's really all. The idea is to completely reorganize the site so that each game has its very own page, and part of that is going to have information about its publisher/release date/type/etc. etc. From here, it will also list places to purchase from (price, site address, any other relevant information).

I'm actually planning to make it much more elaborate than that, but that's the high-level version. And I do plan to actually set up a shop as well at some point, but I'm not sure when. Essentially, though, it'll tie into all of that regardless. Think of it as being like Amazon. While they sell items as well, they also link to third parties so visitors can choose the one that is cheapest at the time.

Hope that helps clear things up, Smiley.

*Added Crypto-Games Bitcoin dice review.
*Reorganized the data a bit across the site
*Fixed some rogue formatting issues
*Altered the color scheme slightly to something more pleasing
Maybe add that they have investment feature too, and they have proof of bankroll(cold storage address)
Here:

Investment was added under features. The cold wallet is something I just added though (made a new section under stats). Thanks for the suggestion!

This equals 0.106 chips per 7 Betcoin Points. What they're doing is essentially exploiting the rounding error from 0.106 to 0.11 (as Betcoin doesn't convert in fractions) to get a ~9% bonus.
3578  Economy / Securities / Re: Gelfman Blueprint: 7-11% Monthly Return on Your Bitcoin on: August 24, 2015, 04:51:23 AM
Greetings,

My name is Nicholas Gelfman, and I am the CEO of Gelfman Blueprint Inc. Evidence of this can be provided if necessary.

I'm posting here to inform everyone that this advertisement was unauthorized and should not have been posted.
Alex Aleksandrovski is a customer, not a partner, and made this post with the intentions of bringing in more customers to earn a commission for himself.

Although we do appreciate the commitment by our customers to the business, we don't allow them to advertise without our consent, except to family and friends.

While much of the information posted is indeed accurate, there are a lot of discrepancies, a lot of the information is private, and we had no plans of advertising publicly like this. I discovered this thread by chance, while doing a google search on our company to evaluate our online reach. No one in the company was informed of this, and the information was mainly copied from an investor packet along with some information personally added by Alex. Much of this information was private and only available under NDA. Given that it is already out, I will clarify some points, in the order they appear in the post.

  • Alex Alekandrovski is a customer, not a partner.
  • We're registered with FinCEN, not the US Treasury. Technicalities. Also, the address on our MSB registration is outdated as we moved offices two months ago. An amendment has already been sent to FinCEN.
  • While we are indeed a "hedge fund", the term is being used very loosely given the lack of a better comparative term.
  • The monthly return is not 7-11% and was not averaged over 3 years. The current return is advertised at 7-9% monthly over an extended time period, and is based on the return you receive after we take our commission. Our actual full return rate is only available to investors. Customers are only informed about their return rate, not the fund's.
  • We do not make 10,000 trades a day. The algorithm is capable of evaluating up to 10,000 trades a day, assuming 24/7 heavy volume.
  • There aren't "7 total market scenarios that have occurred since the beginning of bitcoin". There are 7 distinct branches in the algorithm's initial decision tree.
  • Almost the entirety of the "Other Projects" section is inaccurate. Really the only accurate statement is that there is indeed a patent pending. I can not provide any actual information on e-Bit as that project is currently in-house only and not for disclosure to anyone other than VCs and investors.
  • We are not using Breadwallet's API. That was an idea we had in the past, that we later decided against due to constraints.
  • The dropbox link is an outdated, older packet, that is not intended for distribution.
  • The home page on our site is new and not fully functional. It was put up on the production server solely because the previous one was hideous and we decided that putting up a decent looking page with 3 out of 6 tabs working was better than what was there before. The page should be fully functional by the end of the week.
  • The fees we pay per trade and the amount of coins we can trade while producing similar returns are inaccurate. That information is disclosed only on a need to know basis to investors in person.
Once I discovered the post, my initial course of action was to contact Alex and have this post taken down, but I read the replies and see that there are some people he's already responded to, so I'm posting this to inform. After ample time, this thread will be removed.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to PM me or email me at nick@gelfmanbp.com

Thank You,
Nicholas Gelfman



Yeah, he also PMd me a full listing of monthly return, along with other information, in a packet that looks like an official one.

It's sad that he went through all that work to mislead people like this, and thanks for clarifying things.
3579  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Choosing paper wallet on: August 24, 2015, 04:08:36 AM
If you want the truly safe way to make a paper wallet, you have to do a couple things:

1) Find a PC that has NEVER been online (i.e., building one yourself with brand new parts -- while it hasn't been seen yet, people say you could even infect a bios)

2) Download one of the scripts for generating cold wallets

3) Generate it on that system

Never take that system online. If you need to transfer from it, sign the transaction there and use a USB drive to take it to another system where you transmit it to the network.

How are you supposed to download a script if you aren't supposed to get online in the first place? Download a script to a USB and then transfer the file from the USB to the computer?

I'm still new to paper wallets so forgive me if my question seems like a newbie.

You got it!

And @Frosten, in regards to the building a new PC thing, it shouldn't be a necessity, TBH. But there were a lot of theoreticals thrown around in 2013 about being able to infect the BIOS of systems and a logger as well, that may be able to exploit things in some way. That said, is it a concern? I don't believe so. But it's better to be safe than sorry if you're storing a lot.

MoneyPot holds other peoples money so it needs to be very pragmatic if bitcoin did ever fork. If it is not blindly obvious which side of the fork has overwhelming economic and mining support, we will just go on both sides of the fork with everyone simply have an independent balance in both <BTCxt and BTC>.

I however, don't think it's going to come to that. And if discussing my personal view, I think that bitcoin needs bigger blocks, but that bitcoin-xt is the wrong way to press the issue.

Considering how widespread BTC is at this point (relatively), this is going to be an interesting event to see play out!

And @BB -- I'll be getting in touch soonish. I did a major update to CryptoPlace today and will be getting more content out for BB (and an update) shortly!
