yeah but it says play anonymous in op of this thread.  just wondering which one is mistake because it cant be both.
It's not anonymous in the IP (VPN/Tor) sense, but about the bet placed can be hidden from the public.

For example:


No one will know that I won the 349.55x if I didn't post it here.

Isn't the new ETH created on that DAO hack?  Correct me if I am wrong because as far as I know ETC is the one that maintained the original blockchain.
Yes, from BTCers point of view, I believe ETC is the original Ethereum chain since VB forked the ETH chain to undo the damage.
However, ETH is VB's project so he can do whatever he wants with it. In other words, VB's chain = Legit chain.

My point is, smart contracts prove multiple times that it is not secure. If the software is in BETA and they put a lot of money there, it is a recipe for disaster.

So I've got 2 systems.  Both have an 8 core cpu but the gpu isnt that great in either.  Will the mining software be able to make use of the CPU cores and will they calculate a comparable number of blocks in relation to a GPU?  I believe one system has a 750 Ti and the other a 1050 Ti?
These are weak cards, and you probably have weak CPUs too...
With these systems, you can only mine 2nd - 3rd tier altcoins (people call it shitcoins). Forget about profitability if you live in a standard electricity cost area.

Generally, CPU for cryptonote coins, and since you have Nvidia, it performs better for equihash coins.

What's your thoughts on this?
Same old story, nothing new. Why would anyone keep putting lots of money in one central point of failure (i.e., a smart contract)?
It's like no one learns from the DAO hack which created ETC.

FYI, there is a probability that the creator puts the mistake by himself and hacks it by himself. The good thing is because of DeFi stuff, he takes no responsibility.

They don't know how to team up as the farmer against the emperor, if we both have a good strong card we can make the emperor use his strong card early and the other farmer still has strong card when emperor doesn't have a strong card anymore. So, we can make it always passing the turn.
Lol this team-up thing reminds me of my young days playing capsa/big two. It's easy if you can set-up communication with your friend. Usually, the "leader", the one who plays after the enemy can give you lots of advantages. If he wins the turn, you will get the chance to play your low cards. If he wins the game, you can use the free turn. The goal should be about assisting the leader to win first with the smallest amount of resources. So the follower can beat the emperor with his "saved" high cards.
3790  Economy / Economics / Re: How to save money and beat up inflation rate? Options please! on: July 03, 2020, 09:39:50 AM
I would like to know from your brilliant ideas to come up in a decision on how to save money and beat the inflation rate. Inflation rate is very common to all or most of the economy every country faces. The capacity of money to buy goes down as inflation rate increases consecutively over a period of time. The most affected in this problem were the poor like me.
If you are already wealthy, it's called hedging, while if you are still poor, you might prefer to put your money in some investment plan.
Hedging usually done with gold or government bonds or both, while investment can be varied according to your risk preference, typically stock or corporate bond, or both.

I was geared to save as one insurance company came to our workplace and invited us to join with them. The agreement is we have to pay monthly which will then accumulate over a period of time and had a lot benefits for being a part of the insurance company. The monthly payments accumulated will be 10-15 years with more or less 10-20% returns from the accumulated savings being made. However I am still not satisfied because the inflation rate goes to 4-7% annually that might not compensate even 20% increase over optionally 10 or 15 years of returns from the insurance company.
Probably you were offered some unit-link type of investment. Generally, I'd say stay away because:
- probably you won't need the insurance;
- you have to pay the fund manager fees (included);
- you need to trust the insurance company.

It might be better if you buy mutual funds or buy stocks directly. You can construct your own portfolio with blue-chip companies that you like.

Do you think that bitcoin will be better in saving money and beating up the inflation rate?
Sadly, no one can predict the future, so investing in Bitcoin is still very risky in the long run. Well, if you don't want to miss the moon train, you can use a small portion of your total investment into Bitcoin. It's like a gamble that can give you a substantial amount of money if you are lucky.

Only I doubt the "loss after 5,000 spin = $250" part. The thing is that the RTP of slots is 95%, on average, when millions of USD is wagered. With just $5K it can be more risky: you can win something(or even win big), but you can also lose your $5k completely. Not many people can afford wagering $5k within one week, unless the money is not theirs, but the casino's.
Yep, there will be variance, but I doubt there will be zero wins after 5,000 spins. Let's take a look calculation from digdia.com with assumption high volatility slots (other variables stay the same as above):

He will be within -$859 to +$359 half the time and average loss of -$250 (HE).
If he plays 5,000 spins every week, I believe his loss will be closer to the theoretical RTP. As long as he prepares for a terrible visit of -$2,020, I think he will be fine since he has multiple revenue streams.

in op it says play anonymously but in my account it has place to upload documents.  is it really anonymous or do you need copy of my id to cashout?
I can cash out without uploading such documents. I think it's because I only withdrew a small amount of money.
If you just want to play, let's say <$100 no one will bother to ask your KYC.

Playing the "Fight the emperor" game is probably my strangest experience this year.
- There is no tutorial: I had to figure out how to play, luckily I'm familiar with capsa/big two and stuff.
- The countdown is not accurate: if there is a 20-second waiting time, the software should take into account the delay time. So in the back-end, you set 21 seconds so the input in the last second still valid. For an old man with regressed reflex like me, I missed lots of play because of this issue. Sometimes the button invalid even if the count reached 3 seconds or more.

I think speed and responsiveness are the main issue. Nevertheless, It's still pretty entertaining.
3796  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think players can play properly against a recovered Covid-19 opponent? on: July 02, 2020, 06:44:07 AM
It depends on his natural fitness. Some players can get back to their highest fitness level in a relatively short time, but some players need more fitness training. It also depends on their symptom, whether it's no symptom, mild, or severe.

In the case of mere influenza, a player can get back in training after five-day rest at home.* So it's safe to dismiss any performance issue if the players got no symptom or mild.

Thank you for your quick response. #thumbup

You asked me about China's GDP per capita. I can tell you that it has risen a lot in recent years and it is expected to increase a lot more in the coming years.
According to the chart that appears on this site, you will find that it increased from  6000$ in 2012 to  11,000$ in 2020 and this is a very good progress.
Yes, it rises along with other countries. Depend on how you phrase it:
- Projected 2020: still below Mexico and Thailand
- World Bank 2018: still below Suriname
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28PPP%29_per_capita

Please be aware of using projection data since it might (likely) different from reality. You can safely draw your conclusion up to 2017, but not after:

The best practice always states whether the data is a projection or historical.

This is not my opinion alone, but the opinion of many people around the world.
It's fine if it's only your opinion and no need to take cover behind "group identity" that cannot be verified.
I can say the whole intelligent manly man community supports my opinion, but what's the point?

I am talking about China's success in controlling the Coronavirus in a short time.
How did you know? Did you currently live there?

there are free and democratic countries that have created and deployed many viruses in the world like the United States and everyone knows that.
Could you name at least one in this peaceful era?

Yep, this is economics board, so I shall ask some economic question:
What do you think about China's GDP per capita? Is it still considered "strong" and "advanced" ?

China fanboy
There are new Covid cases reported in China, just search. Moreover, they also "produce" a new virus carried by pigs.
They single-handedly ruin the world economy because of the corrupt regime didn't want to inform the world about the coronavirus epidemic and let infected spread the disease everywhere.

CCP propaganda won't work in this forum, sorry.
