What matters is the hash rate ! Bitcoin is slow and has expensive transaction fees and it has sucked for a long time! Call me a troll but it's the truth...
You're not a troll, you speak the truth and a lot of people, me included are becoming disillusioned. I have used bitcoin to bet with for 4 years now and used to be able to transfer coin quickly and cheaply from account to account via my wallets....It's now become a nightmare due to fees and absurd slowness. I am on the verge of going back to fiat bookmakers....cheaper and faster. Sad, but you have to be practical.  |

I want to send someone $200 in bitcoin....what fee would ensure it happens inside 24 hours?
|

Site is not working guys! |
|

Going to try that if it still isn't clear in the next few hours.....I need a bet on tonight's football! What sort of tip does the guy expect? |

Next time use BitcoinCash if the other person is open to accept it or pay >3$ fee
Ok, cheers. |

The fee was slightly low so could possibly be the reason for the delay. It's estimated to start confirming within 23 blocks or so. Thanks....Any idea how long that would be roughly? |

Sent 0.016 btc to someone 13 hours ago......seen by 8 peers, still an unconfirmed transaction. It never used to be like this.....the only drawback of bitcoin in my opinion. |

Hey TonyQ.
Sorry for the delay but I finally heard back from my cousin. He plays at Bovada, he is able to deposit money(USD) and actually he told me recently they made it mandatory to take back bitcoin. So I think that site would have what you are looking for.
Cheers
Yes, they also do what I was looking for. Thanks for your help. |

.....there are any sportsbooks out there that allow you to deposit with a card and withdraw to a bitcoin wallet and vice versa?
Thanks in advance.
I've found a sportsbook betdsi.eu, you could try them. you can also find more sites, if you google it.  Yes you're right, they do do it. Thanks a lot. |

You could try 5DIMES SBOBET Both are accepting CC and have withdraw in bitcoin. But as you are depositing with CC, the bitcoin withdraw will not save you from KYC procedure and documents check. Thanks a lot. Much appreciated. |

There definitely are sites out there that allow that. As a matter of fact some sites require that you withdraw in bitcoin. I know my cousin just recently had to set up Bitcoin in order to get money from his account. I'll double check what betting place he is using and let you know when I hear.
Please do this and let me know Cheers |

Now found this:
Alleged bitcoin launderer and BTC-e administrator Alexander Vinnik will be extradited to the United States, a Greek court decided Wednesday morning.
Vinnik, a 37-year-old Russian national, has been indicted by a U.S. grand jury on 21 counts related to financial crimes. Most notably, he is accused of laundering $4 billion in bitcoin, including funds stolen from Mt. Gox. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 20 years in federal prison.
Vinnik allegedly committed these crimes while operating bitcoin exchange BTC-e, although he claims he was just a technician and the exchange denies he was ever employed by the company.
“I have nothing to do with what I am accused of,” he reportedly claimed during Wednesday’s hearing.
International law enforcement officials seized BTC-e’s domain in July, and Vinnik was arrested soon after while vacationing with his family in Greece. He refused voluntary extradition to the U.S., maintaining that, as a Russian citizen, he should be tried by a Russian court. Russia also submitted an extradition request on separate charges, and Vinnik stated he would voluntarily comply with that request.
However, as reported by the New York Post, a three-judge panel ruled that the U.S. request to extradite Vinnik should be granted. Vinnik is allowed to appeal the decision to the Greek Supreme Court, and he is expected to do so this week.
Previously, Vinnik’s wife told Russian media outlet RT that she believes the U.S. wants to exploit Vinnik’s intellectual and technical abilities and has concocted these charges as a pretense to force him to work for them.
BTC-e, meanwhile, was hit with a $110 million fine by FinCEN but has recently relaunched under new management as WEX. According to CoinMarketCap, it processed more than $40 million in trading volume during the past day, making it the 12th most popular exchange. WEX’s BTC/USD pair ranks seventh on the list of bitcoin’s highest-volume trading pairs.
