I since learned a lot more about scripts and have my own for martingale-esque betting, and the bottom line is regardless what script you are using, there's no escaping the house edge. Thus, no bot is profitable in the long term - and if it is, it is only by luck. (That's my belief anyway, read below for the exception).

There is one dude on bustadice who is up 88 BTC over 2 years and 1 million bets, ghostnipple. I don't know how he does it, but he makes me think it's possible to predict the behavior of a seed somehow.

He was also down over 3 BTC at one point, so... I've heard the theory that he has insider information; of course that would be the obvious one. Otherwise who knows what's actually going on.

Huge difference here. Hhampuz is being hired to run a bounty, not "speak well" of HEX. Hhampuz is more of an advertising agent -- he is providing a service for hire. Aantop, on the other hand, is more of a spokesman and influencer. People buy coins based on what he has to say. So really it doesn't say anything about the forum.

After having read the HEX "layman's guide," there's a couple different ways to approach defining what HEX is:

1. HEX is not a Ponzi scheme as it will always pay out what the terms of staking dictate (whereas Ponzis always eventually collapse and stop paying). It's also not a MLM per se as it only has 1 level of referrals.

2. HEX is a Ponzi scheme because it requires an ever-increasing influx of new users in order to keep the price growing, or just stable. Those already in will constantly try to recruit new holders to prop the price up.

If you choose to go with #2, well then you have to account for the fact that most (if not all) cryptocurrencies are at least somewhat inflationary and require word-of-mouth in order to attract new investors (aka, people to sell your bags to).

The difference between HEX and most other cryptos is that HEX does not purport to do anything other than go up in value. It has no plans to be a means of currency; after all, Ethereum already does that, and if people want a currency they would just use ETH as they need it to transact HEX (an ETH token) anyway.

Final assessment: HEX is a worthless shit token led by a douchebag, but it is not a scam.

His "initial call" was off by over 15% and the market was long overdue for a correction at that point, so I'm not particularly impressed. In addition, he's been wrong every step of the way since Jan 2018. He's carried the rest of this thread with attitude and pretension, and somehow people were once again suckered into believing confidence = wisdom. In this case, "wisdom" infers:

1. fighting the effects of massive inflation created by the Federal Reserve, and
2. losing a shitload of money to affinity scam forks (twice).

Some people just enjoy being wrong I suppose.

Yeah don't do that.

We can pretty much moderate ourselves.

To those for whom nullius posts actually pose a problem, there's the Ignore button -- it works quite well, I should know. I like the off-topic-ness of that thread and appreciate the opportunity to banter with some of the regulars about any subject that is slightly or more interesting.

Am not sure if I ever had a post removed from WO by a mod, ever.

I checked in on this thread just to post this meme.

Dang. ABC really shot themselves in the foot here... I absolutely have to wonder: what were they thinking?? What good is getting 8% of miner rewards per block going to be if the total miner reward per block is only worth $100?

Well its good for about $8, I guess.

I followed that cash.coin.dance site during the BSV split -- they did a good job at keeping track of the war. This time around something peculiar has happened: the incumbent party (ABC) has stopped producing blocks! ABC only produced 3 blocks since block #661650. I know they have some sort of auto-difficulty adjustment mechanism in place to prevent them from never producing another block again (due to the lingering high difficulty pre-split), but as of right now they are literally 39 blocks behind BCHN.

So close... Brown did have a good game, just not as good as you were hoping. I have to say, its "good" to see him back in action (despite all his drama and the roadblocks created by his personality). He's gonna be a great asset for TB so long as he can stop himself from doing anything too stupid off field.


I thought for sure Seattle would be the favorites on this game, but nope. Even as a Rams fan I think this is a solid bet... though Rams did just take the lead again in the 1st quarter.

Tua Tagvailoa (sp) seems to be off to another good start, beating the Chargers 14-0 thus far. He's gonna be fun to watch for the rest of the season.

Well, I don't think Hhampuz would take this campaign if he hadn't already received funds to pay campaign participants. So while I'm not exactly happy to see such a wanton moneygrab being advertised via signature on the forum, at least there is a quality control element that only Hhampuz and a select handful of others can provide.

This is frustratingly common.

Damn man, that was a really good catch. Can you link the post where you put that image earlier? Is it already in this thread or a similar one?

I noticed there was something just a little bit fishy about this guy and actually suspected it was Rambotnic building up a new account. First, he told an insane story about how he had a hard drive with bitcoins on it and his grandfather turned it into a keyholder. He managed to rack up a few merits there. Then he started posting betting predictions that were just awful, telling small lies about the outcome of his bet.


He's been kind of silent for a while, maybe he knew it wasn't gonna work out and moved on.

That was now over 4 years ago, in 2016, before the forum really exploded in popularity. A lot of accounts that are high ranked today used to buy and sell accounts back then or before then. Since then, the potential for damage caused by the fake reputation given to a scammer (such as yourself) has increased considerably.

What's considerably tagworthy in your instance is the fact that you are stirring shit on the forum under the direction of game-protect, and you keep switching to new accounts in order to evade red trust. So regardless of whether or not your account was hacked or purchased, you should be tagged for the reasons gosha@e-coin was tagged, as that is also your account.

That's not how walking away works!


Then you haven't actually walked away. Seriously bro. This isn't good for your mental health.

I won't comment on this any further but just know what you're doing doesn't look good to anybody.

Well, it was a nice gesture anyway, Phil.

You presented 2 potential outcomes, so lets go through them individually:

1. Yes. So long as when you say 1 BCH you mean 1 BCHABC. You will also have 1 BCHN.
2. It's hard to know for sure at this point but it looks like BCHABC will fold soon after the fork, given the fact that it isn't supported by much hash power.

My advice would logically be to sell the BCHABC ASAP.

Actually on second thought, my advice would be to sell BCH now, given what happened last time around (hint: the price of both BCH and BSV combined doesn't equal the price of BCH pre-split).

You're absolutely right -- looks like it was purchased at about the same time by the same person, for the same reason.

I notice BitcoinAccepted was wearing the Wolf.bet signature, and that campaign has been "paused" since August. So he's not actually in the campaign, neither is aomakun in the Idena bounty. The merit transfer kind of seals the connection. Also neutral tagging aomakun for now.

I think I know what you're looking at, but on the off-chance I'm not, sure, feel free to send me a PM if you'd like. Has he sent you a PM yet? If so, you should post it, I bet it will help give away the connection. Funny how he was just bragging about having all these high ranking alts we didn't know about and then goes and uses a brand newbie account for his next scam attempt.

It was as short as I could make it and still do it justice. There are plenty of intricate details untouched. I did stop and consider the potential ramifications, but they're really aren't any, at least not to be had by people whose opinions I value.

Here's another account that was re-activated recently to switch from whatever they were doing before to now mainly complaining about casinos, their terms and conditions, frauds, scams, etc:

BitcoinAccepted

Clearly a unique case as its a Legendary with only 2 earned merits and a password change on 10/6. Looking back at their post history, they mainly sold goods out of the U.K. Now they are apparently a sig campaigner with somewhat broken English that posts exclusively about gambling and casinos. Here was their first post after "coming back," what a compelling way to break the ice (remember, they went from perfect English to this):


He's particularly keen on involving himself in the scam accusations of others, always taking the side of the "scammed." No definitive GP / gosha connection yet, but something to keep an eye on.

Good job, as usual you're most likely on to something here. Funny to see him trying a more civil approach than usual -- there's still a bit too much of a chance its not him to do a tag right now. But still. Give him a few more days and posts and he'll dig his own grave. This guy is one of the most awful humans I've ever come across on the forum, and apparently he's been here for 6+ years.
