What if you create multiple paper wallets and you split the main hoard into smaller chucks and distribute it via a Mixer service from the main hoard to the paper wallets?

The main idea should be for people not to trace a single use Bitcoin address to a specific individual.. right? So when you split the coins to multiple paper wallets via a Mixer service, you break the chain and you can simply "sweep" individual wallets into different wallets to spend the coins?

It is only when you use a single wallet for everything, that you get exposed ...because you might use that wallet with a service where you were identified and then when you re-use it, it links that identification to all other transactions that are done with that wallet?

You can obfuscate it even more, by using several different Mixer service....
3902  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The use of Bitcoin as a local currency! on: August 16, 2021, 11:22:02 AM
Most governments do not want ANY competition for their local reserve currencies, so they will do anything in their power to squash any competition for their power over local currencies. You have to remember this, governments have full control over the supply of reserve currencies and they have ZERO control over the supply of Bitcoin... so why will they ever want to relinquish that power to a new currency?

This is why you see government regulating Crypto currencies and also defining it as a Commodity. A Commodity are not in a position to compete with their reserve currency.  Angry

Hey guys,

Another giveaway also on our Telegram channel.
Take a look and make your BTC price predictions: HERE.
I've just submitted my entry and thanks for mentioning the giveaway.

The new games you've suggested was great, enjoyed playing starburst it didn't have a lot of extra features like jammin jars 2 but the wild respins have the potential for big wins.

After testing these games I might give in to the app promo, been itching for a few rounds of blackjack.  Cheesy

Get yourself involved ralle, brother Wink Everybody loves a bit of Blackjack on a weekend Smiley
I thought starburst was pretty good, not tried jammin jars 2 yet but I will when I get time.

Jammin Jars II was a bit of a disappointment for me, because I think my expectations for it was way too high. I expected them to do a full overall of the original gameplay and also some stunning visual upgrades. The DJ is a bit more involved in the game play now and the jars are doing more of the same thing that happened in the original game.

The RTP (Return to player) is at more or less 96.4% ...which is slightly less than the original.  Tongue  (The base game is as unpredictable as the original, so expect some surprises there)

It has a lot more potential, because the maximum win on Jammin' Jars 1 was 20,000 times your stake, but Jammin' Jars 2 increase this to a whopping 50,000x.   Grin Grin Grin  - Still a good game ...Go vinyl hunting.... boys and gals... hope you get the Giga Jar feature!!!!
3904  Economy / Economics / Re: "Crypto is no longer in the early adoption stage" on: August 16, 2021, 05:47:19 AM
I think the early adoption for Bitcoin was delayed, because it was fighting for legitimacy in most countries. It was the explorer in new territory for all other Crypto currencies. The early adoption phase for other Alt coins will be much shorter now, because most people are familiar with the concept of Crypto currencies.  Wink

Bitcoin might be past the early adoption for the technology as a "Commodity" ....but it still has to pass the hurdle, namely government acceptance as a "Currency" ...to be 100% out of the early adoption cycle.

I have always said, If you want a token or coin to be successful.. you have to create some kind of use case for it.. so this can be a new use case or you can form partnerships with merchants and retailer to accept it as a currency. Once you achieve that goal, the token shifts from being a shitcoin to a legit coin with value.

Most of the shitcoins out there are backed by nothing, so they fail quickly within a couple of months or within a year....and the only people that profit from it...will be the pumpers and the early adopters. Well Done.... I hope Travala.com push this FUN token to new heights.  Wink
3906  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Always gamble with sense on: August 15, 2021, 02:48:05 PM
The Sport betting sites have people that are feeding them the "odds" ....so they know what the probability is for a win and for a loss. Most people use the "odds" to determine their bets and they chose to bet against the "odds"..because it offers a higher profit when they win. They then lose a lot of money, because they take a huge risk.

The casinos and the bookmakers know how to maintain a balance in the books by adjusting the odds as much as possible so that there is an even amount of people betting on a win or loss.  Wink
3907  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Twitch introduces restrictions on gambling-related links - deadline 17 Aug on: August 15, 2021, 09:29:41 AM
Streamers are very creative people..... they will find ways to bypass these restrictions. So imagine this scenario.... the Streamer creates a personal website or an account on his/her social media platform and encourage the people to go there.... when they get there, they are presented with hidden url's to fake review pages ...where the Streamer link his/her ref link to that Url.  Wink

What about a green screen ...flashing their referral name on a demo video .... they say nothing... they just show "demo" movies.  Roll Eyes (Example : A video of their big win.. that are stored on Youtube... where the Youtube video have the referral link)  Roll Eyes
3908  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Argentine President sees no reason to oppose Bitcoin adoption on: August 14, 2021, 05:04:19 PM
Most third world countries fight high inflation and a devaluation of their reserve currencies. High taxes and VAT are also making foreign investment difficult, because these companies can just chose to shift businesses to countries with lower taxes. If a currency like Bitcoin can be used, it will cancel most of these problems.

With a Gross Domestic Product of about $400 billion, Argentina is one of the strongest economies in Latin America, so it will be great if they could accept Bitcoin as a currency.  Wink
3909  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Singapore Police Say Crypto-Related Crimes Keep Rising across the Country on: August 14, 2021, 11:03:22 AM
They are blowing this up to look as if this is a huge problem, but have a look at the total amount of crimes (37 409 cases) ... then it is nothing compared to the other cases that are not Crypto related. (393 reports of Crypto related crimes)  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Source : https://www.statista.com/statistics/947850/singapore-total-crime-case-number/

So why is this such a big issue? Well, it is simple.... when you want to create your own digital currency, you have to get some kind of reason to "ban" the competition.  Angry
3910  Economy / Economics / Re: knowledge and Capital which is Very important in Business or Investment? on: August 14, 2021, 08:10:24 AM
I think it is a combination of a little bit of luck and some startup capital to kick start the business venture and then a whole lot of knowledge to do it successfully. You can have a shitload of money and zero knowledge and your business can fail, because you have to apply the knowledge to run the business.

This is why I say, do proper research and gain some experience ...before you invest in anything... and then hope with a little bit of luck, that your timing is spot on to grab that market.  Wink

https://news.stake.com/elite-sports-betting-tips-august-13/

I just have to say, one of the new releases ...... namely ==> 3021 The Bounty Hunter is da Bomb!!!  ....It has a very good intro and also the game play is very addictive.... you just cannot wait for that "huge" base hit.. but but but.... there is more!... The Free Spins are actually the best feature....the bonus round comes with multipliers up to 25x per win, and this can lead to payouts up to 3,714x your stake!

It is a medium volatile game, with a very low hit percentage..... but when it hits...it pays like a M$%^er!  ..... I just love the Gigablox feature !! Enjoy!
3912  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin losing its purpose? on: August 13, 2021, 09:57:43 AM
Bitcoin has not lost it's purpose.... people are still using it as a payment option, but governments classified it as a "Commodity" to protect their Fiat reserve currencies. Once government put it in a "Commodity" box, it is very difficult for merchants and retailers to legally accept it as a "Currency".

Imagine reporting your yearly tax to the tax authorities in your country and then showing your profit and losses in Crypto currencies. They will throw the book at you, because the laws of the government does not allow for you to use Bitcoin as a legal tender. (Currency)

The Bitcoin community must stand together in their respective countries and they must vote for a party that are supporting Bitcoin and Crypto currencies.  Wink
3913  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting on the Paralympic Games? Ethical or not? on: August 13, 2021, 06:33:10 AM
I think I should have started a Poll on this, because the majority of the people seem to be in favor of betting on the Paralympic events. Come to think of it, if betting was allowed, it will mean that more sponsors will be willing to make donations or sponsorship available for these athletes.

We have casinos like Stake.com that are sponsoring famous UFC fighters and Soccer clubs, so casinos can definitely consider sponsoring disabled athletes to enable them to compete at these games. (It is costing these athletes a lot of money to get to these games and to train for this event)  Wink
3914  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does anyone know what the most successful whale wallet out there is? on: August 13, 2021, 05:35:45 AM
Bitcoin is pseudo anonymous, so you will find it almost impossible to track who those whales are. You need a whale to spend coins from that wallet and then link their true identity to information that was made available to the public to be able to identify those whales.

Also, most whales do not store large amounts of coins in one wallet, because it draws too much attention. They will have several wallets with small amounts of coins in them and they will make sure that those wallets are not linked to one wallet.  Tongue  (Mixer Services)

The wallets/addresses with large amounts of coins are normally cold storage for casinos or exchanges.  Wink
3915  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting on the Paralympic Games? Ethical or not? on: August 12, 2021, 01:20:29 PM
We will soon see the start of the Paralympic Games.... ( 24 Aug 2021 to 5 Sept 2021 ) ...so I was thinking if it was ethical to bet on these events? Will it be disrespectful towards people with disabilities or will they want to be handled in the same manner that any other athlete wants to be handled? 

I spoke to a few disabled people at work and they have no problem if their athletes get the same attention as any other athlete that competes in the Olympic Games.  Wink  They say it will be disrespectful if they are treated in any other way...

So what do you guys and gals think..... ?

In the first place, they are holding the Paralympic for equality and to be treated equals like a normal athlete and their sports like all the sports in the Olympics, so I don't see anything wrong why it's unethical to bet on their games, the unethical is questioning their capability, these athletes have train real hard and their respective government has supported them, we should give them the same treatment like athletes in the Olympic.

Ok, you make a good point, but I still feel it will be rude to bet on Sports where people are disabled. There should not be anything wrong with people watching Sport where disabled people compete, but betting on it.. is taking it a little bit too far?

In any way, will bookmakers and casinos agree on betting on the Paralympics... or will they think it is too controversial to allow bets to be placed on disabled people?

Any casino marketing staff ..wiling to give us some opinions?

Welcome to the forum....

I like the site, but there are a few things that bothers me...

1. Why do you place all the features on the landing page? This is not recommended, because this increase the load time for the home page. Why not use the first page for a introduction to the site and then have tabs or drop down menu's for the different features that are offered on the site.

2. Some sites like this lose focus, because they create these sites to spread their referral links to get affiliate income. So their primary goal is not to assist people with information, but rather to make money from the ref links.  Roll Eyes

3918  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin in China: What’s going on in the crypto community on: August 12, 2021, 05:58:58 AM
I think even though a blanket ban on Crypto currencies in China will have a devastating affect on the Bitcoin price, everything is not lost.. yet.  Wink  We know mass media thrive on spreading misinformation and used the popular saying.. "China has a Monopoly over Bitcoin mining" as a scare tactic to discourage people to invest in Bitcoin.

The events in China are actually good news for the Crypto currency community, in the sense that the mass media cannot use this "scare tactic" anymore, because the majority of the hashing power has now shifted to other countries and the so-called monopoly has been broken.  Wink

Your casino is called, "TwiceDice" but I could only find one dice game... and it was hard to find.  Huh  I was a bit disappointed.. because looking at the name, I thought this site specializes in Dice games...  Roll Eyes

Well, let's forget about that...because the site looks decent and the experience is fun. The rollover requirements of 35x within 15 days on the deposit bonus is a bit tough, but we know casinos just use that to hook people.. the casino always get their bonus back... so it is nothing new.  Sad

Good luck with the site and welcome to the forum.  Wink
3920  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The risks of using Bitcoin on: August 11, 2021, 04:39:34 PM
I think a lot of people are putting too much emphasis on the risks involved with governments and regulations. In most countries, governments are chosen by the people through a voting system. If you are lucky enough to live in one of these countries, then you have a say in what happens.

Use your vote and the votes of your family and friends to vote for a government that can bring change that favor Crypto currencies. The older generation will vote for "Fiat" based governments, because they accepted that as the norm. The younger generation wants change and they want more effective currencies and technologies... so go out and get the votes of these people to make Crypto currencies the new standard.  Wink
