These are good stuff, op.

But the hard part is you have to stick with them to eventually incorporate them in your habits and some people may struggle with this. If that's the case, I would recommend setting up a reward system that works for you everytime you do your part of the month/day.

There are also many apps that help you track your habits. I would recommend loop habit tracker for starters, see: https://loophabits.org/



For people who are worried about their data, they are stored locally and app is open source.

I've been to a couple of mental health online communities and second option is the most recommended to avoid at all cost as it apparently only made people feel worse and avoid treatment.

Hence, I'd always go for first option. Ideally, it is best to seek a professional help but if they're showing reluctance on that, they may try with self-help resources first -- what matters is they are progressing. When it comes to unhealthy habits, stopping all at once typically does not help for me. Instead, I reduce the consumption slowly and/or replace it with another alternative that gives almost the same amount of dopamine.

In extreme cases though, there may be a need for involuntary treatment as they could become a threat to people around them. In this case, reaching out to a professional or through the local social service is the next step.

Hasn't google lifted the crypto ban on their ads couple of years ago? and from what it looks like, this policy update seems to be about "Cryptocurrency Coin Trust".

But I'm pretty sure whatever new policy they hand out will be bypassed by scammers lol. This is why I'm honestly not really sure how much crypto ads on google help since 90% of what I encounter are cookie cutter scams.

Nice topic op  

IMO, as a whole, I don't think license alone affects this, there could be other factors too such as what type of products are provided, stuff with the game providers, payment providers and the casino's risk appetite. To expand the risk appetite, this is because most of the time there are grey areas in our laws so it's not strange if some casinos would like to explore those grey areas and live within the edge - in exchange, they can expand their market.

Yeah, it is open source, see: https://github.com/btcpayserver/

True. This is only about their domain name which they can always abandon or sell to someone unsuspecting. Not to mention, it's pretty common for scammers to jump from one domain to another because at some point, they will run and create another scam.

I suppose op could be talking about the simple merchant feature in electrum, see: https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/merchant.html

But it's pretty limited and there are many better options out there so I'm pretty sure it's not one of the popular choices for merchants. As a consumer, I've never seen it either.

Bitcointalk is overwhelmingly ahead, don't think they'd be worried in terms of competion. In addition, mentioning other communities contributes to a lot of discussions hence such ban would only hinder the discussion value of our threads. Simply put, it's counter-productive.


The restriction is most likely to tone down the possible spam, it's an open secret that affiliate links tend to be spammed.

He has to use a privacy focused exchange for the btc <-> xmr trades.

For instance exch.cx

1. no typical kyc/aml policies
2. has an onion version, works without JS, no cloudflare
3. does not use 3rd party liquidity provider

You get to choose from 2 pools of btc as well; one having less chances of getting flagged by custodians but less privacy or more privacy but higher chances of getting flagged.

But a reputable mixer is okay too if you don't want the extra hassle.

Pretty sure the wayback machine has many old snapshots of the website, have you looked into it? see: https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/https://www.bitcoinmarket.com/

You can't login of course but I saw snaps from "recent trades" tab, for instance:

That sounds too much even if we consider the contest is about to end. I would say such approach is counter-productive as you're likely to annoy your users.

I'm curious though if you have received a different email each time? -- same topic but different in writing because, if it's the exact same content, perhaps there's a chance something has gone wrong with their mail system and mistakenly sent it multiple times 🤔

General gambling communities has also a good amount of crypto players, perhaps you could find some peeps who have dabbled in "decentralized gambling" platform.

For starters, you could look into subreddits like r/onlinegambling or r/gambling. There are also stanalone websites like casino.guru (they have a forum) and casinomeister. You could probably find more when you google! But before anything else, try to confirm first if such post is inline with each communities' rules.

Same thought.

From what I understand, they got the money back so case is pretty much over.


Unless... OP's bud is still planning on putting in some more money to scammer's fake exchange hence the: if the scammer searched for the domain name and found this thread, they might know the victim's onto them statement. I hope I'm wrong though since this is some extremely risky thing.

1. Bitcointalk of course.

First, I'm more likely to read opinions of prominent bitcointalk members rather than an influencer. I don't really keep up with influencers as I mostly have seen more bad rather than good. In bitcointalk, I'm more active and naturally have people whose opinion I'm more inclined to read and ponder.

Second is that, I appreciate brands that build up their rep slowly in the forum which takes effort, time, money. Plus we have the scam accusations board which up to a certain extent could help when things go south.

2.
    Exploring the Bitcointalk forum - Highly satisfying
    Casino advertisements on various online platforms - Neutral
    Taking recommendations from friends - Neutral
    Following advice from social media influencers - Unsatisfactory

3. Yes.

4. Why not? there is stigma when it comes to gambling in many places hence I think it could alleviate some of that e.g. time limits, budget limits, implementing "responsible gambling", etc.

Previous address retirement cases had an option to manually credit deposits.


You could still be in queue. Binance has a habit of implementing changes per batch.


LOL so true! over the years, I have gotten loads of emails from binance asking me to verify my account. My reward voucher even went up to 50 bucks IIRC lol. But isn't there an option [in binance account settings] to disable promo emails only so important announcements won't be affected?

From what I understand, there is no mandatory identity verification, but there could be some cases where they may request it from you.

For instance:


and probably if they find anything unusual with your account? like any other casinos in compliance.

To be fair, the man's just trash -- sorry for the wording but I have to say it lol.

What can we expect from a man with a history of child abuse? of course, he's not gonna be the type who would gamble in moderation.

In addition, this story too is a serious case of child neglect, another form of child abuse and something seriously punished in many places.
