Even if you made a post that contains wrong information, I would say leave it. You will probably not be the first nor the last user who made such a mistake. Other members might think the same way like you did about a specific problem. When someone corrects you, the thread will have great examples of what is wrong and what is correct, and an explanation of why a certain post/opinion is wrong.
I disagree. Especially on technical subjects, it's bad to leave incorrect information. And that's why I sometimes strike out part of a post: it makes it obvious it was wrong.
I just sent a PM to a user for a mistake made 2 years ago. It's good now.

That's a good point. I also advocate the editing of incorrect information on the forum. Many visitors find information via Google or other routes, and some posts give misleading information and should be corrected, so it is good practice to edit or to strike out such misinformation when someone points to it.
3602  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers - How do you use your signature campaign earnings? on: February 28, 2021, 12:59:24 PM
It is clear after seeing the results that signature campaigns are a good business for casinos as most people gamble at least partially what they earn with them, so casinos find it cheaper to advertise than it would seem at first glance.

Some people may even gamble more than what they earn with signature campaigns.

Of course, provided these people gamble on the same platform from which they earned the coins.  Cheesy

However, the casino is the one that makes the most of the campaign through advertisement.

I will modify it a bit more and come back with a new system also taking into consideration Trofo's suggestion about increasing the odds by x1.5 instead of x2.

I would suggest you consider the Labouchere (or split martingale) betting system as well. I think it might be appropriate for your betting experiment.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labouch%C3%A8re_system

Quote
The theory behind this Labouchère system is that, because the player is crossing two numbers off of the list (win) for every number added (loss) the player can complete the list, (crossing out all numbers) thereby winning the desired amount even though the player does not need to win as much as expected for this to occur.
...
Theoretically, the player needs to have his proposition come at least 33.34% to eventually complete the list.

Personally, I get excited about playing different games with what little I have. It's such an exciting time for cryptocurrency, and I hope that everyone will continue to enjoy gambling with it as I do. It's really awesome to see where it's all come from and where it's going.
3605  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Trust In-House Casino Competition? (Wager/Multiplier/Raffle) on: February 28, 2021, 12:20:07 PM
Many casinos have leaderboards for a wide range of competition. Is there a way to verify the validity of the users and their scores? What stop the casinos from printing random (fake) users and put that on the leaderboard?

This was actually a legit question. The obvious answer is… We can't actually verify the validity of these competitions. The only thing we can do is trust the organizers. Who's putting on the event, who's rating the games, etc.
Once someone wins an event it's up to the organizer to verify that this person won fair and square.

From a personal perspective, I think the above sort of points to the fact that we're still early adopters of Bitcoin, I would say the majority of the large Bitcoin holders are people that have been waiting for Bitcoin to go mainstream, are just waiting for the market to mature. They're pretty risk adverse, but I think that could change.
There's been a lot of attention from the gambling world in the last couple of years, the news has been relatively favorable for Bitcoin overall, and there are some really innovative applications that have popped up, specifically around investing.

It's nice to see that the online gambling industry has so far been relatively open to the potential of using Bitcoin, but it's still early.

There is a hard drive with what on it?
If what you are saying is true, you should have the original version of the Bitcoin Core client on that hard drive. Can you confirm that?

Be very careful not to damage the data on the drive, so I would recommend cloning the drive before any other actions.

I do like coinbase, but as I'm based in Australia, it doesn't look like I can withdraw to a non-custodial wallet or withdraw for Fiat if need be.

I believe you are still able to send digital currency from your Coinbase account to another wallet or exchange. But it is best to check with Coinbase support before.

In general, in my research, bitcoin is not much affected by the statements of people with high money power. Yes, Musk's tweets seemed to have had some impact, but I think he was an exception.

This latest price movement is mostly the result of increased institutional attention and Musk only greased the wheels further. I don’t think the price was affected so much by his tweets as by the statement that Tesla invested $ 1.5 billion in bitcoin and that they plan to accept it as a means of payment.

I believe you can verify your seed phrase in any software that supports BIP 44.
Supported clients are, for example, Electrum or Mycelium. Just make sure you work in a safe environment.

From Etherscan: "When the network is busy it can take a while for your transaction to propagate through the network and for us to index it."

Are you sure you put enough gas price for the transaction?

I missed the news about LTC deposits/withdrawals. This is good since BTC and ETH transaction fees have been skyrocketing lately.
I have always considered Litecoin as a good alternative to fast and cheap transactions... just like bitcoin's younger brother but with faster transactions.

I would really like Roobet to implement on-site exchange functionality.

Miscellaneous:

User SmokerFace was recently found cheating in signature bounty campaigns by recycling his posts. I am posting this in case he decides to reactivate some of his alt accounts.

Yes, I trust all the reviews. But in my understanding, this is important for those who directly want to interact with the flagged account. The red mark acts as a warning.
In my case, when I mark such accounts, this is a warning to bounty managers. No matter how negative we feel about bounty programs, but this is the same part of the forum.
And they involve people who are trying to work honestly. But when farms from multiple accounts are pitted against such participants, successfully raising their accounts in the rankings using transfer of merit, I think it's unfair. And the most appropriate is to tag the scammers.

I agree. In my opinion, scamming is a very broad term. If it is proven that a member cheated in bounty campaigns and promotions with multiple accounts, I see this as indirectly scamming other participants and organizers of such promotions. I think such users should be marked in red as a warning.

Crazy man has started going for bitcoin developers and their families saying that most of them will fold... so the only question is who will be his next target?
Maybe regular people and anyone who uses Bitcoin...


There's someone out there who's lost it completely.
The madhouse is too good for that guy.
3617  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is a Lifeboat on: February 27, 2021, 08:23:39 AM
Bitcoin could provide a solution for countries (like Venezuela) that are mired in cash.

In Venezuela, the bolivar might as well not even exist, because it is literally worth less than the paper it’s printed on. The Venezuelan government has been forced to deal with the US Treasury and American sanctions. These sanctions banned any transactions of Venezuelan currency to the US and froze some of the country's assets. The Central Bank of Venezuela has therefore been forced to print notes and coins that are not accepted elsewhere, in order to stay afloat.
All of this could have been avoided had they integrated cryptocurrencies into their economy.

I think that's a satisfying answer.
The only thing I'd like to see is your official mobile app so there's no fear of threats associated to the web wallets when using the Bitamp Web Wallet.

A lot of people still use the Internet wrong by typing web addresses in google search instead in the address bar, and they don't even use bookmarks.
3619  Local / Hrvatski (Croatian) / Re: Pregled Bitcointalk Signature-Ad kampanja on: February 26, 2021, 07:03:05 PM
Jebes mi sve ako ovo pravilo od minimalno 3 posta dnevno (I to jos u specificnom omjeru) u FortuneJacku da bi se dobila lova nije jedno od naglupljih ikada, jos i gore od onoga da se ne broje postovi iza 5 stranice. Sta ako recimo jednostavno odes negdje na vikend, ili si jednostavno prezaposlen/umoran za pisanje smislenog posta? Propustis dva dana i nista od isplate?

Kao da nije dovoljno da je velika vecina postova na forumu ionako izforsirana i pise se samo da se ispuni kvota, sad ce se jos morati  i na silu pisati ama bas svaki bozji dan. I kako onda ocekivati normalne postove na forumu sa takvim pravilima... I onda se kao prica da je signature kampanja kao neki pocket money, a pravila su kao da ides na neku tesku sljaku.

Da, ovo je jos jedno glupavo pravilo u kampanjama.
Sto je jos gore, Hampuz je cak napisao "within each 24 hour period", sto bi znacilo da morate obratiti paznju i na vreme pisanja. Na primer, ako jednog dana napisete prvi post u 15:00 sati, sledeceg dana morate da pisete tek posle tog vremena jer vam se u protivnom post nece brojati.

Ne znam koliko ce Hampuz biti strog prema ovom pravilu, ali cini mi se da menadzeri izmisljaju pravila samo da bi sebi olaksali stvari u vodjenju kampanja.

Cak sta vise sam razmisljao da koristi pcie 6 pin za direktno napajanje risera..da li je to jos bolja opcija.

Ovo je, u svakom slucaju, bolje resenje. SATA kablovi nisu dizajnirani za napajanje grafickih kartica i, u zavisnosti od kvaliteta napajanja, zice se mogu pregrejati. Kada u takav rig dodate i jeftine "SATA na 6-pin" adaptere, moze se i zapaliti.

Moje pravilo je: sto je moguce manje kablova i adaptera i sto boljeg kvaliteta jer na njima ne treba da stedite.
