41  Economy / Speculation / Re: 3 Reasons Why Bitcoin Could Explode over 2019 on: July 04, 2019, 11:33:38 AM
Bitcoin has returned to the limelight in 2019 after rebounding by more than 260 percent from its cycle low of $3,126.88. The recent 30% correction however,.....read more

Not to mention, the entry of big financial firms such as TD Ameritrade and Fidelity Investments into the cryptocurrency space is also assisting the bitcoin’s bullish case.
I'm not quite sure that these financial groups are aiming to help bitcoin grow in any way; the growth of bitcoin if anything hurts the influence these institutions have. If anything, they'll try to manipulate the price and seek to have their own trading bots go at it. seeing as how bitcoin is fairly more volatile as an asset compared to most stocks, they stand to make a pretty large amount if they are able to assert any control over the price.
42  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin developers jump ship with the sudden high demand for Blockchain dev on: July 04, 2019, 05:23:12 AM
Blockchain has been a lucrative field of study at current time. And many enthusiastics, programmers, engineers and freelancers has shifted their interest towards blockchain. Computer engineering collages has started including blockchain as a field of study. So, I don't think we'll ever have a shortage of developers.
the first half of your statement, I have no doubt, but the part in bold there, I don't think the blockchain is a subject broad enough to be considered for a major, its too niche to make a 4 year program out of. a few classes here and there, I could definitely understand, perhaps that's what you meant?

Just take a look at other projects. Did Linus Torvalds abandoned Linux when getting hired? No, if anything they could insist in their contract their work in other projects remain separate and not subject to company ownership, etc.

Many free open source developers get hired by companies but they keep doing their work in the projects they lead outside their employer.
the example you gave in this case might hold true, but the corporate world isn't always so kind; some of the bigger companies (facebook being a relevant example) might include clauses in their contracts stating those devs cannot touch any other blockchain / crypto related products while they work for the company. and depending on the paycheck, the dev might choose to forgo their other projects.

Is it shady, mates?
It always becomes shady when a unknown "company" like this one starts posting pictures of another known company like Bitmain. Without providing proof of their claims they are trying to attract buyers for the contracts. This is robbery at its best which is easy to do in the internet.
shady is an understatement, they claim transparency is their priority, but then they try this? should be the only red flag users need, no further questions asked. on top of that, i don't think they've given any sort of proof they have any hardware.

I hope you have legit service, because I lost a lot on different scams and I don't want to lose my money again. I need some time to take decision whether invest or not
no. reading the first page of this thread should be enough to dissuade you from any throughts of sending money to these people.

Why do not you show video of your datacenter? as you are regulated by the government and you have nothing to hide from anyone, recording a video that shows your data center should not be a problem for you and this will be very good for future investors
at this point they'd need a video tour of their data center with the entire 'team' on camera with a shoe taped on each of their heads, holding up papers with the date / time and their names to have any hope of proving their legitimacy.

also, seems to be hosted in russia.



10% on referral purchases. in a business with marginal profits. sure.
users really shouldn't need to question if this is legitimate or not.

hint: it's not.
44  Economy / Gambling / Re: LUCKYBOT - THE AI-ENABLED GAMBLING BOT (autopilot, free vouch copy) on: July 04, 2019, 02:52:28 AM
Who knows if this person was paid by a casino owner, or is one himself for that reason. There is no beating the house edge
that is assuming everything from win odds to win multipliers was correctly implemented; there was a case a few years ago where i did manage to find such a oversight on the casino's part.

High probability of profitability, that would essentially mean that your bot is able to produce a more than 50% likelihood of being profitable over the long run.

Can you tell me how AI is able to defy randomness and the house edge to somehow make players more profitable? Don't tell me you are saying you think you can find patterns in huge random code to avoid certain numbers or favor others?

Smells like BS.
it sounds like op is implying the bot can magically conjure up conditions for +ev, which shouldnt be possible assuming the edge was correctly implemented on the house's side.

3. Do you 100% guarantee to win? NO! Just to be clear, the bot is not a 100% winning machine. Normally you play against a casino with 1% house edge and  you hope to win big and walk away before you lose your money (99% chance in a casino with 1% house edge). What LuckyBot does is to fight the house edge and decrease it from 1% to 0.1% or less, which means longer shot at winning big (>99.9%). I
this is complete bs. a house edge is implemented by means of adjusting multipliers based on the win chance (multiplier less than 2x on a 50-50) or eliminating the possibility of winning in certain conditions ( 49.5 < x < 55.5, where x represents the edge case where the player cannot win assuming a 2x roll); your bot cannot change this.

Fairly sure this isn't intended as I've never seen it this way on other sites, but I don't think your dev team has set any limits on the faucet. Usually, other sites require a zero balance or a balance below a certain threshold to be able to use it, but I've been able to claim it 14 times in a row now.

Bitcoin core is a wallet program you can use to hold or spend your bitcoin. It is also considered a 'full node,' which means it will download the entire blockchain, as well as any future blocks to keep tracks of all transactions.
BCH (bitcoin cash) is a fork of bitcoin, which can occur if enough miners support a change in protocol. In this case, BCH is a hard fork, which split the blockchain into two separate paths and essentially created an altcoin (bitcoin cash).

Bitcoin cash is a cryptocurrency like bitcoin, but it is an altcoin. you cannot  use software such as the bitcoin core wallet with bitcoin cash.

some time ago bitcointalk was going through a lot of ddos attacks, and the homebrew protection designed by theymos just wasnt cutting it anymore. you can read his post here if you really want to. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2485318.msg25449826#msg25449826
Yes, I was aware about it. I think it's time for us to create our own security algorithm. It's been over one and half years now. We are paying this people and possibly compromising our privacy. I hope theymos do something about it.
theymos did put out a post somewhere for the tech savvy members of the forum to devise a solution, along with a few requirements. I don't believe anything came of it in the end.

Managed to actually find the post:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2497008.msg25572747#msg25572747
The first major flaw with my setup is that it wasn't easy to change. My setup would grab a few configuration details (eg. the origin server IP) from VPC-local DNS records that I would set, but if I wanted to make deeper changes, I'd have to modify one of the instances, convert that into a new AMI, terminate all of the other instances, and then start new instances again. If I wanted to change the number of gates, I'd have to start/stop them manually and change the DNS records myself. A good solution would never require this much manual work, and would use things like auto scaling groups and CloudFormation to simplify it. It should only take a couple of minutes to add a new iptables rule, for example.

The second major flaw with my setup is that it lacked a good, systematic way of classifying IPs as good/bad/neutral. All of the gates should collect long-term stats on every IP which connects to them and contribute it to a central database. Using some sort of model over the data in the central IP database, it should then be able to determine whether an IP address is probably good (because it's been acting like a normal person browsing the site for a long time), probably bad (because it eg. just started requesting tons of pages), or unknown/neutral. Then based on that classification plus an idea of how busy the site currently is, it can block an IP, allow an IP, or insert a Cloudflare-style captcha challenge for an IP. If you pass the challenge, the system sets a cookie on you which whitelists you for several days.

For the forum to go back to a homebrew solution from Cloudflare, the above two pieces would need to be very-well-satisfied.

sure, i'll look at it. just shoot me a pm.
edit:
took a look at it.
requires some of your real info, and seems it should work, although i have no interest in trying this out, so i cannot confirm weather or not it works for sure. As said in op, you need some real personal id, and some initial investment / work put into it. tl'dr: there doesn't seem to be misleading information in the op. Personally, I think its not 100% whitehat, and won't be trying it out.

Hello all! I have quite a bit of balance in my americascardroom account. I cannot withdraw it so I am trying to sell it half off via the P2P transfers.

I have tested the P2P and I can transfer it and it can be withdrawn.

Im selling it for half of what the value is, ex: $50 will get you a $100 P2P transfer.

If you would like to buy or have questions, please add me on skype: sb.agar

Thanks and have a great day!

Weeeell, it's tough to give a definitive answer, because there are some pros and some cons. The huge advantage of Android it is such fact that Android is open system, and you it is easier to interact with it, but huge disadvantage that Android = Google listening you and recording your words and search requests.
I'd argue that ios is probably the easier for users to interact with, it's been a major selling point of apple devices for years and its a huge reason customers are loyal to the brand. And let's not pretend as if apple respects your privacy any more than google does, there's been plenty of cases where apple has committed egregious crimes against privacy.

apple allowing uber's ios app to go as far as recording user's screens without their knowledge: https://www.businessinsider.com/uber-iphone-app-secret-access-sensitive-apple-features-2017-10?
and the cia backdoor that was a fairly big deal a few years ago that i dont care to find a link for.

Granted, android is multiple times more invasive on average, apple isn't without blame.

Now a days,almost everyone in this world having smartphone and most of them are android which is from Google.After the introduction of android we are not much secured as how we are before all our private information are in the hands of google and some third party apps without our knowledge so what you think about having android?

Recently I am starting to be more aware of the bad privacy practices of google , this is the only reason why I am considering buying apple phone. In general I like Android because it has a lot of options and i dont feel like I am being restricted a sin Apple phones.
see above article. pick your poison.

I strongly believe that God exists and by looking at the sun, moon and stars we can prove that God give us enough evidence that he exist.
what evidence? seeing the sun and moon is evidence that there is a sun and moon. i don't see what you're trying to get at here.

There are several 'transaction accelerator' services such as this one: https://bitaccelerate.com/ that you can try, or if you're a tad more tech savvy you can try rebroadcasting your transaction with a higher fee, assuming it hasn't been confirmed yet. Regardless, the fee should not matter as long as the sat/byte value is high enough. I wish i could give you the values but I'm not really up to date on that info. I've sent transactions (using segwit addresses) with feed as low as 30 sat/byte and have had no problems having them confirmed recently.

for replacing the transaction, i'd do some searching along the lines of 'how to replace-by-fee with <x> wallet' on google and start reading. I haven't done it myself, so i dont think i'd be of much help in the matter.

I usually just report one of their posts with something along the lines of:

this user is an alt account of <banned user> (banned user profile link). ban evasion.
Mods do not have access to IP logs, so this will often be insufficient, and no mod has the time to trawl a user's post history to try to find the evidence. In the comment box you need to include proof of ban evasion. If it is as simple as the user admitting to previously being banned, then link to that post. If it is something more complicated like both using the same bitcoin address/twitter handle/etc., then you may need to create a post in the Ban Evasion or the Known Alts threads, detail your evidence there, and then link to that in the report comment box.
I uh... forgot to include that part in my post.

I usually just report one of their posts with something along the lines of:

I dont really know if the mods pay much attention to the threads, and reporting pretty much guarantees a staff member will take a look at it eventually.
