bitkong is definitely not based on skills to be honest, in my opinion it is based on pure luck just like dice or any other ordinary gambling website, poker or something like that is more skill based because you act dependently on the situation.
I'm well aware that it's not based on skill. But it's definitely one of the few games I enjoy playing. So, like I said, more games like that - games that are fun and looks good is more important to me. |

Does anyone know the current hash rates for Sapphire Nitro+ 480 4GB and 8GB for ZEC, PASC and XMR? I would greatly appreciate it!
I'm looking into selling my GTX 1080 (got it for free) and purchase two Nitro 480 8GB or three Nitro 480 4GB. There's about €50 in price difference between the two, but I am also going to use this PC for gaming as well. I'm pretty sure the 4GB version is "good enough" (I know I'll be losing a lot of gaming performance compared to the GTX 1080, but I'll be able to use Freesync instead, so it compensates somewhat) but if the 8GB version has vastly higher hash rate, then I might go for two of those instead.
After all, I'll be looking to sell these eventually and perhaps upgrade to an RX 490 whenever it's released, or shortly after.
Thanks!

In cases like yours where there is price difference go for RX 470. Performance between two 4gb cards isn't worth it.
Are you saying that it's not worth €43 more to get the 480? Then again, it's 20% more expensive. |

Hello,
I was going to purchase another GPU to add to my PC's for mining. I had decided to purchase the Sapphire RX 480 4GB Nitro+ but then I found an Asus RX 470 4GB Strix for a lot lower price.
Now, I know that the Nitro+ card is supposed to be better (even though it's the 4GB version) but the price difference here in Sweden for these two cards is pretty big.
The Sapphire RX 480 4GB costs €243.
The Asus Strix RX 470 4GB costs €200.
And as a reference, the Sapphire RX 480 8GB costs €296.
I've got an RX 470 8GB Nitro+ and an RX 480 4GB Nitro+. The 480 does better, but not that much better. The question is, since the Asus 470 is €40 cheaper, perhaps it's not worth getting the 480? It would take a long time to earn back those €40 since the difference in mining speed isn't that much higher. It's not like it's 50% higher or anything. It would take about a year to earn back those extra €40 if my calculations are correct.
My current 480 4GB Nitro+ gets about 12% more mining speed than my 470 8GB Nitro+ when mining Pascal.
I might be wrong though, so please enlighten me if I am, I would love to be proven wrong.
What are your thoughts on the issue?
Thank you in advance!

I found that BitKong.com is a simple but fun game as well. I guess those are the kinds of games that I'm really looking for. So any more tips with games similar to BitKong, Satoshimines and Bustabit is greatly appreciated! They do not need a faucet, but some way to test the games without actual money would be nice.

Too bad it's shortening your cpu's lifetime. The amount of crypto you earn mining won't nearly be as much as the cost of new computer components when it breaks. 750ti is OK but price per MH isn't as good as radeon cards.
Good thing there's a 3 year warranty on my CPU. I'll be buying a new one before the warranty ends anyway. |

The reason why they don't have those types of "skill" games is because it would be very easy to cheat.
Sure, but what about simply fun games that aren't sport betting or cards? Something where you can gamble and have fun playing at the same time. |

Are there really no fun games where you can win (and lose of course) Bitcoin that aren't card games or sports betting or slot machines? Except for Satoshimines, Bustabit and the games over at Bitsler? There has to be some more?

maybe you can trying to play sports betting, in sports betting, you need to have knowledge and skills to analyze each of teams and you need to calculate the chances you can win. i think poker is need skills too like sports betting because in poker you need to combine the cards and compile the cards so you can win the games.
Well, I don't like sports so I would never be able to properly bet on sports. I do play PC games though, so some of those could be interesting. But I've already tried (and am currently) betting on e-sports. It's not that interesting, so I got bored of it quickly. Besides, if I would bet on sports, I can just use my bank account. The whole point of playing BTC games is for fun while still being able to earn some money if I'm lucky. |

So basically, you have to guess what the other players have chosen [...] It is a game of skill, because there is no luck
Sounds to me like that's pretty close to the definition of luck. |

If you really looking for skill base game since you are not want to hear about poker go to sports betting you can gain more chance to win because you can choose a good team for watching their previous games the skills there is for analyzing who will win.. You can also try dragon tale http://www.dragons.tl/ i do not know if this game still alive but i play this game past few months.. you can get many games there and almost all are skill base game like in ricepond.. Unfortunately I hate sports. I even tried watching e-sports and betting on them but it grew old fast. The games I'm looking for doesn't have to be advanced or anything (I mean, Satoshimines and Bustabit are simple as hell), but they do have to look clean and be easy to get into. Dragons.tl doesn't really fit that description, with a slow website, ugly design and really not much information about it at all. Doesn't fit my "requirements" unfortunately. It also sounds like it's an included miner in the "game". So yeah... I really do appreciate the suggestion though! |

I've made 10mbtc from $1 which is 1mbtc it's fun as every 4-5 spin I'm winning by making double I started playing them when they were doing promotion and providing 2mbtc free to play.
Oh, I'm sure it can be fun and all but I'm just saying that it's not "skill", or at least don't feel like it, compared to Bustabit and Satoshimines. I might try them out a bit, we'll see. Thanks! |

You asked where you can find illusions and betcoin.ag is doubtless the number 1 source...
I also said I'm not interested in card games so those posts have nothing to do with my question. Good pun though. |

Please, please take your dispute somewhere else. I don't mean to be rude, but you two are really off-topic. I'm still looking for fun games to bet (hopefully win) Bitcoins on.

You could try playing Roulette at Bitsler or at one of the moneypot roulette sites. Low house edge, and when you lose, it's kinda your own fault for picking the wrong number (like picking the wrong tile at satoshimines). You could also try sliders at bubblesbit or bit-exo. It's kinda like dice, except you pick the winning ranges and if you lose, you kinda think it's your fault.
Not sure if there are any others that aren't card games.
Yeah, I've tried the sliders and all of Bitsler's games. They're not at all like Satoshimines or Bustabit in my opinion. At least I don't get the same feeling when losing (or winning). Thank you for the suggestions though! |

Ah ok, we'll I prefer games that do actually require skill haha. Pretty much all casinos want you to feel like you were so close to winning so that you'll try try again (and in the end with their edge they'll always win of course.
Right, I think I need to rephrase again (or stop drinking these beers). I would prefer pure proper skill based games of course, but not card games. If there are none, then games that give you the illusion of it all being your own fault (again, like Bustabit or Satoshimines). Not just some casino slot machine - they might give you the feeling that you were "so close to winning", but that's not what I mean. Sorry for not being clear enough. :( |

Poker is probably the only game that skill will give you an edge but either way it's still gambling. Try playing video games for rewards if you really are skilled at them then you don't have to worry about stupid petty little card games.
Oh, I didn't mean actual skill. What I meant was games that give you the illusion of being based on skill, or give you the illusion that it was your own fault that you lost. For example, playing Satoshimines gives you the illusion of being your own fault if you don't cash out but pick too many squares. Bustabit does the same when you can always cash out and it's your own fault for waiting too long. Obviously both of those games are based on luck and whatever multiplier/mine position the server chooses. Sorry if that wasn't clear - English isn't my primary language. Bustabit is skill based game not sure about the satoshimines though. I'm currently playing bitcoinspinner which is skill based. There are many sites just find something that interests you. Good luck
Yeah, I'm sure there are many sites out there but I'm looking for suggestions. I've gone through many sites but most just offer the simplest stuff, dice and roulette etc. I'm hoping to find something a bit more fun than that. I'm currently looking into Bitcoinspinner that you mentioned - how do you suppose it's "skill-based" like Bustabit? It seems random to roll the wheel, even if you get to pick the strength. |

Thanks for the suggestion! However, I probably should've mentioned that poker (or other card games) doesn't interest me. Mostly because I suck at them (or don't know how to play at all).
Any other suggestions? :)

Hello,
I'm wondering if there are any websites where I can bet on "skill" based games? What I mean is for example the games over at satoshimines.com and bustabit.com. Obviously they're luck based, but they feel like skill - or rather, my own fault for losing (it's still luck, but they feel that way).
Heck, pure skill games (if there are any of those) would be even better of course.
I'm not looking for rolling dice or similar.
Thank you!
Edit: I should mention that I'm not looking for poker games or other card games. Reason being that I either suck at them (I would probably have bigger chance of winning when rolling dice at 2% chance to win) or don't know how to play at all. I haven't been interested in playing cards the last 30 years of my life and I'm most likely not going to start enjoying them now - even though poker might have a higher chance of winning compared to other games.
Edit 2: Sports betting is also out of the question. Been there, done that.
I did, however, find BitKong.com which is a simple and fun game. I guess that's more what I'm looking for. Simple and fun "unique" games, not the usual slots, dice, rolling games that every site has.
