Nice one.
The non-custodial exchanges still have some disadvantages though. Censorship resistant, privacy, trustless/permissionless transaction, etc not guaranteed. They are however better than centralized custodial exchanges. I think decentralized exchanges/wallets can provide most of the features of non-custodial centralized exchanges.

Agreed.
Better to build separately but still co-operating though to avoid centralization. Developers should probably focus more on creating cryptocurrencies that are interoperable or "compatible" with one another. People should welcome other projects as long as they're built on Blockchain principles, are safe, interoperable etc.
I don't think it's a good idea to mix both worlds(centralized & decentralized) though. There should be serious & transparent checks and balances carried out by everyone in both. This will be hard to accomplish in centralized settings.
People should not be discouraged from building good and useful things especially through transparent and safe crowdfunding method. Everyone should be allowed to contribute to the funding of decentralized projects.

Well, know one should enjoy taking risk.
In my opinion, we should avoid making risky things fun to prevent addiction.
Don't risk what you can't afford to lose. If you must gamble, gamble on things that add value to your life or and less on things that are neither beneficial nor harmful.
Not a good idea to gamble on bad games or things that are bad.
^This could probably be applied in all spheres of our lives.

I guess the right question should be "Can you share at least one gambler who earned consistently from gambling". I bet there are many who became rich from gambling... if not, who then won/wins the big prizes(that could make anyone rich) staked by gambling centers/sites? I have heard stories of people winning large sums of money in sport-betting alone. Could those be fake? Perhaps, shills are "winning" gambling prizes allover the world? Well, I don't know.
Earning consistently from skill-based "gambling" is possible too. Probably smaller amount of people succeed in this.

https://www.cryptomillionslotto.com/ and https://cryptomillionslotto.io/ is just the same. They do have their thread on this forum https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3417982.0I dont see more information about this lottery site but having 30 million in crypto sounds too impossible yet it isnt even heard out here on crypto space. So i would definitely not to consider that this one is legitimate.Come to think even Freebitco.in lottery cant even reach up this amount into their lottery even they are popular enough.So with that alone you can tell the difference and make your own obvious decision.  Nice one. The creator of the announcement thread even has poor reputation. Op should probably go through the comments and references of those who tagged the account to help him/her determine whether to trust the company or not. 30million is actually hard to believe. I guess it's 20 million in tokens  |

What stops governments from printing billions or trillions of dollars of fiat currencies to control or attack the network in proofs of stake model? To be honest with you it is pretty easy to attack a proof of stake network if you have access to fiat printing machines..
I would not use either of them. There are better and more efficient mechanism that can be used

I agree. I think satoshi spoke about sidechain in one of his posts. He is/was most likely in support of it. One would wonder why some are against sidechains/segwit/LN whie satoshi wasn't against it.
Sidechains should adhere to Bitcoin principles though. Or they should be properly rated, so people can choose to use or avoid what is safe for them

By 2030, I doubt anyone will be able to tell the difference between a robot and a machine. :/
You mean robot and human? In term of behavior and intelligence I guess? Well, I think there should be something that different humans from robot, no matter how small the difference is. Safe, good and useful robots could actually be allowed. They shouldn't be too complicated for the creators to control. Development of robots should be open source and very transparent |

What exactly is the purpose of those flags at the right? It's a distraction in my opinion. I don't understand why it's necessary to put national flags at a corner of decentralized applications list. Guess the intention is to encourage competition and get more people from other countries to join, whether it is safe for them or not.
I think if an evil entity sees lots of flags they don't like, they will probably begin to attack the application or give you lots of problems till it's destroyed.
There is nothing wrong with having those data, but it should only be used when necessary

Electronic voting is a real world application utilized in elections for decades now. Its not a theoretical vaporware pipedream scenario, in the way that many seem to mistakenly believe current day voting systems are still exclusively paper trail based. Its a common and ubiquitous aspect of elections and politics throughout the world. Blockchain based systems can carry advantages in insuring the integrity of data, if they are implemented correctly. And if they are complimented by solid end user authentication systems such as voters being required to provide ID to vote.
is a
India itself may be too polarized a setting to implement a secure electronic based voting system.
There are too many conflicting political interests for something as important as a national voting system to be developed independently without some bias being built into it. I think for something like this to work, it would need to be developed and implemented independently by someone
who can objectively look at things and ensure the design fits the theory of how such a thing should be built.
Shouldn't be left for "someone" to develop. It should be developed transparently. Stuff like election (and other public matter) too delicate to be left in the hands of one person or few people to manage in non transparent manner. I don't see why it can't be developed transparently. I am not sure I wouldnt trust any election material that is developed in the dark. |

Since you have been following it, you are the only one that can say if it's still worth investing or not.
I don't have in depth knowledge about the project but looking on the basic information of the project, I think it will be hard to rise again since it's trading volume is already very low now.
It was only special when Bittrex was one of the best exchange in the market, but it's status now has dropped, so I think this project needs to be listed in a big exchange like Binance before it will rise again.
I have heard alot about the decentralized exchange but I hardly see people recommend it outside of this forum thesedays. I watched some of their videos but wasn't too impressed by the complicated tutorials. Besides, the heavy downloads could discourage lots of people. Hopefully they make it more simple and easy to use in the future. |

Bitcoins have three useful qualities in a currency, according to The Economist in January 2015: they are "hard to earn, limited in supply and easy to verify". Economists define money as a store of value, a medium of exchange and a unit of account, and agree that bitcoin has some way to go to meet all these criteria.
One of the best transaction today is with the use of cryptocurrency because many people want to use the crypto or the bitcoin because it is faster to have a transaction and today there are a lot of people want to make bitcoin as the primary or secondary payment to the bills, services and other things with the support of crypto. As a person does not want to lose their money with the use of cryptocurrency we want to adopt the use of it but still, there are some country does not accept with the use of bitcoin or crypto as a payment still the adaptation of the bitcoin to the economy are still not supported to improve the economy. Some usually say that Bitcoin or other decentralized cryptocurrencies don't have too many useful purposes. I bet when crypto becomes very useful some will scream that it's taking over the world and destroying their currencies. Well, I think it should exist side by side with national currencies. If people decide to go for what is "really" safe and good for them, it will be immoral & unjust to prevent them from doing so. |

Seems that many want to stay at home and play not with the crowded casinos.
I'll go with the crowd who says that they don't want to go with the crowded casinos anymore if there's an option to play without the need of having to go out.
For me its better to play in an uncrowded place because yoi can decide without hesitation or have clearly mind when playing. Also when you play in crowded casino , its not easy to concentrate to your playing because of too noisy around you. So playing at home is one of the good place beside you dont need to go out, then it can give more comfortable feeling to play. The concentration with a crowded place really breaks if you're easily distracted from the people that surrounds you. The comfort of playing at home is much the choice of most gamblers that wants it more relaxing and quiet. But some tend to prefer the crowded one if they want to seek for attention and that could happen if they're winning with their bets or if they start to become popular inside the casino. Some probably also prefer the crowd just to socialize. while others prefer the online ones to avoid distraction and noise. I tend to think that the reserved ones will avoid crowded casinos. The fun-seeking & sociable ones will prefer the noise and crowds. |

Level 0 is partly true, I think. I would just play a luck-based betting and forget it. If I win, fine , but If lose, it doesn't matter anyway because I don't want to be attached to the game. I actually do this in trading. I just set my trade with alerts, forget about it and get busy with more important things. Once I get notified, I trade briefly, set my alert again and forget about the trade. I try not to get attached to my trading fund. This helps me to be more productive and not to be consumed by the market.

Seems you really want the wallet sent to person?
Well, I honestly wouldn't send lots of coin like that. Some will probably know what the wallet is(unless disgused), steal it or try to crack it. I probably will send empty wallet first and then send the person the keys via the internet in encrypted form. Then send a message to the owner on how to decrypt key and store it in the wallet.

This will work better if there is a well written, easy-to-understand contract or Terms of Service, which should be read, agreed and signed by both parties. The copy of the contract distributed to parties involved. This will help in time of dispute. You could tip knowledgeable people to write a good agreement or get custom ones suitable for that particular good(painting) .
I have thought about this too. The possible solution is a bit long to explain here. I think crypto communities could also have people providing the arbitration service for some fee via dapps or something.
[Reputation tied to the sellers/buyer's real address and identity eill also help. This can be done without violating the privacy/anonymity principle of Blockchain]
This could work: a decentralized service gets you two/three trained arbiters or witnesses down to your location. The witnesses have copies of the contract too. (The witnesses will need to be randomly picked by a well decentralized system.)
It's important you go through the sellers product specifications, quality, health, pictures etc before buying a product. That's what the arbiters will use to judge any case.
The dapps will also help provide or advise on security if necessary. Or you get that from different dapps.
If you are buying or selling expensive products, then the 2 to 3 witnesses are worth using.
It's fairly safe to rely on reputation & identity feature if you are buying/selling cheap things.

I don't believe in all this.
I don't believe in human effort either.
Our decisions in life will either lead us to the pit or to everlasting life/paradise.
I strongly believe in being guided by my CREATOR & HIS rules. That works excellently for me. I don't believe in my personal efforts at all . All the good decisions I make come from GOD not from me. Infact it's dangerous to do things by your own efforts.
Blind leading the blind is dangerous. it's the current situation we find ourselves in this world.

Seen ava on few places, but I am not very convinced yet. I probably need to do some research before considering it. Some of the few things I would consider before using the Blockchain(is it a Blockchain?): - is it open source project, - how secure is it, is it developed transparently, - is prone to abuse or centralization. Don't forget why Blockchain was invented. - Is it a community project - how did it get its funding - who currently controls the project. — The most important one: does it adhere to important Blockchain ideals like, decentralization, privacy/anonymity, trustless/permissionless, censorship resistant, immutablity, security, deflationary, etc - Would projects building on ava be made to adhere to those^ principles? Who ensures that they do not derail? The community members made thousands/millions of people or ava team? Check this out... Principles of Bitcoin: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Principles_of_BitcoinNot perfect but it's a pretty good foundation to build on |

Didn't load properly on my lite browser unfortunately. Decentralized video sharing platform should strive to be proper decentralized version of YouTube, especially in the area of simplicity, ease of use, useful contents. YouTube has lots of useful contents. And I believe if useful contents are encouraged/rewarded more and are easy to find, content creators will be encouraged to create them.
