3581  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How much of your wealth is in Cryto/Bitcoin? on: March 17, 2017, 04:53:41 PM
For me it's only around 15% of all my savings in total. I do buy some Bitcoins every month, but I also sell some if there has been a recent increase in value.

I find it still too risky to put more of my savings in Bitcoin, I also put some in altcoins and just regular fiat.

There's this daily crypto related news show on Youtube called 'The cryptoverse', they have a segment where they go over the Bitcoin price and altcoin prices, as well as give any news regarding Bitcoin and altcoins.

I've based a few trades of off news I'd seen there and it worked well for me at the end.

It's also pretty interesting to watch and the presenter knows a lot about trading imo.

Check it out here:

What's in other large exchange websites' TOS about failing a trade when it's due to a glitch in their software?
Do they offer some form of compensation if that ever happens?

I'm personally not sure where I stand on this, since it's never happened to me.
3584  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin has no competition on: March 17, 2017, 04:39:48 PM
I'm not sure if other digital currencies will deliver meaningful competition to bitcoin. It could happen, but the network effect and momentum that bitcoin already has would be hard to overcome.
i think yes there is no doubt that not a single currency can compete bitcoin. bitcoin is the number one currency of the world and i am hopeful that even in future bitcoin will remain as number one currency of the world, i think that a time will come when bitcoin will even overtake USD.
I seriously doubt that Bitcoin will stay #1 forever, just look at the succes that ETH and DASH are having currently.
I'm guessing it might have something to do with Bitcoin's current situation, which will not end soon I'm afraid.

Once dash breaks 100 dollars, I can easily see it overtaking Bitcoin's first spot.
3585  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you like 0% house edge casino games? on: March 17, 2017, 04:25:33 PM
0% house edge can't guarantee you will win, actually luck is main factor for winning. I think this is still a concept and they haven't delivered anything yet, so it will be really exciting to have a first look at their games when they will release them.

One of the similar platform which have successfully completed their ICO was vdice which is truely an ethereum smart contract based dice site.

but it can guaranteed that you are not losing anything against the house, this mean that at least your win/loss ratio will stay the same in the long term, which is huge for me as i can remain in game playing and try to retrieve my loss if i had a bad run
Trying to retrieve your loss is never a good idea, not even when you're playing on a game with 0% house edge.
You'd need an almost infinite amount of money and see the results over a long period of time to be able to make your money back.
3586  Economy / Economics / Re: At what exchange rate would you call Bitcoin dead? on: March 17, 2017, 04:21:10 PM
I'd be tempted to sell if the price dropped below 10 dollars and stayed that way for more than a few months.

On the other hand, I'd probably sell everything if the price goes above 10k.
3587  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Solitaire on: March 17, 2017, 02:16:00 PM
i have been experience playing Solitaire several times with my PC and it's not difficult to find the sites provide free download for this game and because this game could played for single person i don't think there was bitcoin gambling casinos provide Solitaire for their options games
If it is not that difficult to find sites that provide this game,why haven't you found out a few sites and linked them here ? lol ? FortuneJack posters are always on some other level shit.

@Op,for simple reasons : Lack of Interest.Just look the number of people interested in the game ,just two in the entire thread.Also the game is quite time consuming as compared to a single dice roll.At the end of the day,true gamblers love the money rolling and long lasting fun games barely matter.

But that's my point! It has the potential to draw massive interest simply by being different. It's not like blackjack where every variant has been exhaustively analyzed to the point where there are no secrets. You play with optimum strategy and you will still lose (ignoring any card counting of course).

I'd say it's more akin to poker than anything. Most people lose but a few people win and the house wins too of course.

But you're right about 1 thing. I am definitely not a gambler. More of an advantage player Smiley

And btw, I don't think the other guy was saying he knew of sites that offered this game, just that there are many places where you can download/play the game for free, which is obviously true.

Solitaire cannot be a gambling game! It's to impossible. I don't see where you would gamble in solitaire, there is no way you can make odds here or some kind of statistical way of analyzing it to create some point of gambling with it. You can't bet on whether the player can finish or not, because some players are good and some are not.
You clearly do not know what you're talking about...

Every card game could be turned into a gambling game, it's possible to calculate the odds for every card game, even solitaire.
The reason why there aren't any casino's offering this is most likely because it would take a lot of resources to get it custom made and it wouldn't be payed as much as other more known casino games.

Hi I could walk you through making a website.
My hourly rate is 20$

skype: ikwileten12

I think what he is looking for is a partnership, he said if no one shows interest he is going to do it himself. The topic and the content seems contradicting to me
I think he's either looking for a partner or if that doesn't work out, he's willing to pay someone to give him a course to build it himself?

OP, you know there are a lot of free resources out there for learning how to build a website, right?
3589  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cup of Coffee on: March 17, 2017, 02:03:20 PM
No one uses cash at starbucks. It's all phones, credit cards and debit cards. Try and buy a beer on a plane. They don't take cash.
I don't know where you live, but in the UK cash is still common, even with tap and go on cards. Also what planes have you been getting on? They usually take cash in a ton of different currencies.
Every plane I have been on in the US refuses cash and only takes card.
You can still easily pay with cash on planes in Europe, I've taken around 4 flights last year and I was always able to buy some drinks and snacks with cash.

Now on topic, I'm personally still using Bitcoin to buy food through takeaway.com, even with the higher fees it's cheaper than using Paypal or debit card, as they charge a 1 euro fee for that.
3590  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Block Size Benchmarks on: March 16, 2017, 02:52:28 PM
Is there some kind of calculation to see how much the transaction speed would go up when Segwit is implemented with 1mb block size?
Bigger blocks will be needed, but to me it seems like it would be far more beneficial if segwit were implemented before changing block size.

Bigger blocks are NOT the best way to increase the transaction rate


Bigger blocks are the most dangerous way to increase the transaction rate, there are OTHER OPTIONS APART FROM BIGGER BLOCKS. We should do the least sensible, most dangerous increases LAST, not FIRST.
That's kinda what I was trying to say, I'm just an end-user, not a developer, but common sense makes me think that by implementing segwit, we're making the use of space more efficient (correct me if I'm wrong), which seems the best and most logical step to take first.

Why is that the best and most logical step to take first?

Why not do the simplest, least risky, least invasive, least controversial thing first, which would be to bump the blocks to 8MB or even 2MB?

The network can easily handle then... THEN maybe we can talk about segwit.

Where did this myth come from that its better to do segwit first?


Well, according to this page, increasing the block size also seems to be somewhat controversial.
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Block_size_limit_controversy

And then this:
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/security-researcher-found-bug-knocked-out-bitcoin-unlimited/
https://cointelegraph.com/news/community-reacts-to-bitcoin-unlimited-bug-calls-for-segwit-activation

I mean if I see all this stuff, as a non-developer, it seems to me that Bitcoin unlimited also has plenty of issues to be worried about.
3591  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the best short-term investment you have ever made? on: March 16, 2017, 02:43:16 PM
What is the best short-term (3 months or less) investment you made?

The best short-term investment that I joined and run in 3 months  was investing in high-yield investment program (HYIP), this hyip is known to last only a short period of time but sometime we need some skills of intelligent and feeling about what will happen in that hyip if it can take longer or will just scam your money after awhile.

I think HYIP is not recomended to investment
Hyip anytime can scam, and only wait to scam, maybe you not reach BEP, HYIP site is scam
if you playing hyip must choose good site and early join in launh site, but still gambling, because not known hyip site is good or not
but if late join only can get scam without BEP
The reason why you shouldn't invest in HYIP's is because you are almost directly complicit in scamming other people.
HYIP's will always run away with some people's money and by investing, you're enabling them to do so.

That's why some people on this forum will give you negative ratings when you even talk about investing in a HYIP, and rightly so imo.

I did say that bigger blocks will be needed, because this seems to be inevitable in the future. Could Bitcoin even handle, say, 50 transactions per second without bigger blocks?

What would be the maximum amount of transactions per seconds it could handle without bigger blocks? Are there other solutions, improvements aside from segwit?
3593  Other / Off-topic / Re: Is it possible for us to hack some gambling sites? on: March 16, 2017, 01:30:56 PM
I have this weird things in my head, when i play gambling games like hacking the website and take all the bitcoin that i bet and their bitcoin they put in the website.. also every time lose i think about this kind of stuff hacking gambling websites is it possible for us? how can we manage to do it? is it really that secure?

Like someone already said: "You should close and lock this thread!". What you wrote is not legal, and I'm gambler I don't wish someone like you to take my money from casino.
I don't like thief's, and if you are losing stop gambling and go to do something where you are good at.
Thread is full with nonsense, and I don't think that anyone will give you any constructive answer, instead of that you will be discredited cause you call for illegal activities!
This thread should really be locked because OP seems like gathering informations if a gambling site would possibly be hacked and it seems he have plans on hacking one because he got mad when he do lose on playing it which is really an illegal thing to do.
It's not illegal or wrong to have discussions like this, so I disagree.

OP's intentions might not be too good, but there are legitimate uses of hacking and finding exploits.
It's in everyones benefit to go and find exploits on gambling sites and disclose them with the owner without making them public.

Even without the site specifically asking it, I still think it's good to do if your intentions are to better security and not to drain the website of funds.

It's also definitely soccer for me, just the fact that with the worldcup, it's a real worldwide event makes it more interesting to bet on.
Also one of the only sports I watch Tongue
3595  Other / Off-topic / Re: Good places to advertise crypto related stuff on: March 16, 2017, 01:23:02 PM
It really depends on what kind of crypto related stuff you're talking about.
If it's some kind of freebie stuff, faucets may do the trick and it's dirt cheap.

Anything else, you'd probably want to advertise at some news websites, or just buy some keywords through adwords or Facebook advertising.
You don't have to look at Bitcoin-exclusive advertising, adwords is still very good!

3597  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ANY STRATEGY TO WIN IN GAMBLING? on: March 10, 2017, 09:07:06 PM
In sports betting there is the arbitrage strategy, you can gain good profit, but this strategy is very hard and needs a lot of time and resources, unless you use some paid services, I believe all sport bettors know this strategy. In addition, in sports betting there are many strategies because the odds are changeable as well as they vary from site to other, but as I said you need a lot of resources.
Arbitrage isn't that hard per se, it's just a matter of getting odds from as many sites as possible and comparing them.
It's time consuming for sure, but literally anyone could do it, it's not rocket science Tongue

I'd suggest starting by reading up on it, even if it's on the Wikipedia page and then just start comparing odds on, say, 3 or 4 websites.
You should find some good opportunities.
3598  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it profitable to run a Bitcoin faucet in 2017 on: March 10, 2017, 08:59:10 PM
Crypto currency is now very interesting to many people and so I think that this will be interesting to many. But you need to attract many advertisers to your site. And clients
You don't really need to attract advertisers, you can just pick and choose whatever advertisings you want, unless you want to make specific deals for your faucet.

I'm guessing that some advertising networks aren't compatible with faucets, because they're against their TOS, but you'll still have many to choose from.
3599  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: To those who says Bitcoin is too expensive for a virtual item on: March 10, 2017, 06:19:36 PM
I get a lot of people that tells me, " Bitcoin is a virtual item, how can a digital item be that expensive? "
Where do people you meet live? People are buying cars for like 10000$-30000$ on average and bitcoin for 900$-1000$ is expensive? Its not Wink, its great investment.
People will realize it after 10 years will pass from now, like with introduction of internet.
I've heard this as well, there have been quite a few public figures who have stated that they didn't see the value in Bitcoin.
Also, kinda weird to be comparing cars to Bitcoin, totally different things and not a great argument that you're making there tbh.

I think faucets time is pass. If u can, make gambling site. Chess, Backgammon, rummikub i didnt see those games bet for btc. There r lots of dice games, sports betting, lottery but Chess, Backgammon and rummikub isnt.

Also people can spend lots of times in site with these games. If i can i will not wait a second. You can have more profit then faucet. I think lots of people tired for faucets. Dont add new one.


I agree with your opinion. Now people are not so actively spend their time on faucets. Especially because the faucets do not give a lot of profit. Now this idea is not relevant
i do not think that earning bitcoin from faucet is such a good idea of making money, because from there you cannot make such a good amount of bitcoin it is just the wastage of time.
yes one can make a very little amount of money from faucet that is why it is just wasting the time. i think if a person have some bitcoin and he know about trading then he has very good opportunity to make good profit form investing bitcoin in trading, even from a very small amount of bitcoin he can make a good profit form bitcoin.

Yeah i agree with you, because of faucet reward very small so everyone leave faucet. and i think its not profitable to run faucet service again
You guys have no idea how many people still use them, even though they pay so little.
The only problem currently might be that payouts are practically impossible due to the high fees.

I'm sure that there are still enough faucets out there that are profitable for their owners
