I think the problem was relating to the fact that the collusion detection system wasn't strong enough, and even if they blocked or froze accounts with funds, they never distributed it to other players in the pot or the table. But its extremely hard to detect collusion at times, and specially with the possibility of people using 2 browsers or TOR, it can make it hard for them to detect collusion.

Did they refund your coins or just kept them as part of blocking your account ? I find the sites and wallets very unethical in the way they operate these day. 

I don't intend to start a discussion. Its just one answer to his question on here. I am also in no way saying that those are better than SwC, just that there are other options too.

Since there are devices which use a camera to visually estimate where a ball will land based on the speed and all, I think this would definitely be possible, but again extremely hard. However, it is hard for them to rig the odds/even bets. Only the number bets are what are unsafe to place as that can be manipulated to an extent.

I didn't know there was actually chatter about him  being Satoshi an year back .
Founds a couple videos this morning too about speculation about him being Satoshi. Also seems a lot of the people have been talking about the similarity in writing styles in that thread as well. Don't see why did this become a big news just today then.

He obviously didn't reveal himself. The newspapers and some study done in a university , claimed that he is probable satoshi because his writing style matched to that of the original paper by satoshi , and his writing style.
And we have had people do a bit of stupid things before  , like DPR using his real name to ask a programming question.

Maybe we will have Satoshi Return and comment "I am not Nick Szabo" , just like he did before. We will atleast know he is still alive .
Also , this does sound fishy as it reads on wikipedia "After the release of Bitcoin, the timestamp of his blog post was changed to appear as if the blog post was published only after the release of Bitcoin."

Do exactly that. Localbitcoins is actually the safest and best place to trade bitcoins for paypal, if you are comfortable sending your ID if they request it. But it does happen that if you send a big amount, then they might just charge back in that case and not mind the negative rating left by you. So as long as you are trading small amounts in the 45-day intervals, it should be fine.

I believe the same thing happened as well. Just one of the cases I previously posted about.


It actually had 3-4 BTC invested in the first few hours itself, without much info. Which probably meant the developer sending coins to the ICO himself, just to get the ball rolling.

Consider the fact of a famous casino I know. It has had around 10K wagered in the past 2-3 months or maybe more. And mathematically there are supposed to make 100 BTC in that time, and they did make around 150ish.

Now even though they did make money, but imagine the risk you are taking by letting your money stay there. There has only been Justdice till now, which has ended well for investors. All the others, I believe will not stay for long and mostly haven't done so. Its the same case for cloudmining. So I would just suggest staying out of both.

I would suggest staying away from gambling site investing , The past has shown that they are more riskier than any form of investing specially because you are essentially trusting your coins with an anonymous third party. Just for the 1% you will have to risk it all and might not even get anything back.

This is true specially with bitcoin. For normal poker you can always deposit using with neteller to other poker sites which accept Fiat, and play with the best alternatives to pokerstars(if US is where you are based in) .


If you are looking for cash games, then you can also try Nitrogensports. They don't usually have a lot of traffic, but they do have much more traffic for 100NL and above, than the other sites. But again SWC is always an option to play on at those stakes.

I think to have your password reset you need to have an email on the account.
If you don't then,  "To recover other accounts please email support@swcpoker.eu" is what it says on the site.

There have been endless discussions on this, the only thing it coms to is the fact, that are you in it for the technology or do you have money invested. If you are a person using it for sending money to another place, and only buy it at the point of the use, then it doesn't matter. But if you happen to store it for long term, then obviously it matters as you will essentially be losing money on it.

There are a lot of services similar to this. However, not every question or search is something you can just ask on reddit or quora. There are things which are only known to people of the trade, for example a coding question or something, and this might seem that market better and offers to pay in bitcoin. But I doubt it will be able to cope up with the competition that exists

Rather than the threat, the laws in those countries aren't clearly defined regarding bitcoin . Banks and Governments can't pass rules or laws overnight, so most of the banks avoid it. There are always exceptions though. Just because there isn't a clear law defined for digital currencies being used , the image of bitcoin being all gambling and drug related make it worse in those countries.

If you don't post about the source, then best to not post about it. You are more or less just spreading FUD in that case.

They actually might if it violates their policy and like twister said, that if they detect some kind of money laundering or fraud with it, they will freeze your funds. Surprisingly, just to avoid money laundering they also have a policy to not allow you to cross the normal verified limits, so anyone laundering a big amount of money with bitcoins, cannot do it through neteller.

Sorry I forgot to get back to you on this. I have similar limits, they had told me that they can't increase the daily limits if I chose to deposit with bitcoins, but they can keep increasing my lifetime limits, as long as I provide to them my ID documents which will reset the limit everytime I do it.

Been doing only 3 things till now. Tip/Store and Gamble. I have never happened to have used it for other purposes yet. But soon , my brother will be moving to another country ,and I am sure I will see more use for that .
