When Diablo III was released, it featured real money auction house for all in-game items, and while some players made a lot of money from it, the majority of the community hated it and it was soon removed.
True, Diablo 3 RMAH ended up as a failure.


Most of the gamers are not interested in making money from games, in fact they are very much against the trading of gameplay items - if you played WoW, you know how much the community hates gold sellers.
While it's true that some are not interested in making money from games, there are plenty of those that are interested in spending money for stuff in game. Regarding community hating gold sellers, seems like you and I played a different game. People hated those that were exploiting the game via bots and hacks, while huge amount of people were buying and selling gold. Hell, interest for gold was so huge (despite numerous bans) that in the end Blizzard started doing for what once they perma banned players -  selling people gold in exchange for money, while in the same time those that farmed gold can exchange it for gametime, and even sell Blizzard games (that part is breaking TOS, but it's still a popular way to cash out).



Now imagine if Blizzard turned their WoW token into a blockchain token - now there's suddenly an extra huge incentive to run bots, scam people, hack accounts, etc. because there's an easy way to turn in-game money into real money.
Did implementation of WoW tokens brought more hacks and bots? If it wasn't for that change, subscription numbers would be down by like 50% and instead they are making shit load of money by pushing (to some degree as those still exist) gold resellers out.



But I believe this model isn't even profitable, because it pushes players away from the game.
Not necessarily, if economy part of the game implemented well. The one I hope will done that right is Gold Fever so you might wanna check it out as closed beta should come out by the end of the year. When it comes to GF, I am mostly interested in making passive income by investing in certain things as in the last few years I don't have time anymore to play any games. Unfortunately.

"Play to earn" will never be popular, a large precentage of gamers are middle class people who absolutely don't need to collect pennies for hours of repetetive tasks.
As someone who played several  games at the very competitive level (World of Warcraft) and games with complex economy (EVE Online) and made very decent amount of money with both of those, I say that you are wrong there. Anyway, time will tell regarding play to earn concept and in the end, play to earn is more than just some mindless grind for pennies.
4043  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Lack of NFT technology on: November 30, 2021, 04:56:30 PM
OK so the gaming industry is slow but I don't think it's that slow play to earn is probably something that'll take a while to come out, most mmo games ban you from selling stuff anyway in their terms (I think it requires extra licensing).
Yep, majority of AAA mmo games like World of Warcraft ban you from selling in-game stuff and services for RL money, but market for that is huge and is not really stopped by that restriction as people do it anyway, so there is a huge demand for a proper play to earn system.

It's true that things are moving somewhat slow; Steam (biggest game store) recently banned all crypto/NFT games from their platform, in fear since CS:GO skin gambling fiasco, but on the other hand Epic (another major game developer and publisher) is "open to games that support cryptocurrency or blockchain-based assets" on their upcoming store so things are moving nevertheless. And if Epic starts making shit load of money that way, I have no doubts that Steam will change their mind and figure out the way to accept those as well.

As an old school gamer who always liked economy part of the game, I must say that I am really looking forward to day where you can legally made serious money while playing proper games (unlike that Alien Worlds, Axie Infinity and Alice crap) without breaking TOS or competing at the highest e-sport level.
4044  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Salary paid in crypto. Best practices/services/low fees? on: November 30, 2021, 12:33:22 PM
One possible direction would be something like Binance card, which you may top up with fiat whenever you want or top up with crypto (depending on what you expect on short time - increase or fall of the price). The fees related to the card are small, the conversion rate cannot be better
I second that, Binance card is a good way to spend your crypto for everyday needs, if you don't mind doing KYC on Binance. Deafault cashback (1%) basically covers the fees (0.9%) so from that point of view, you won't find a cheaper way to spend your crypto. On top of that, you can use it for ATM cashout but daily limit is pretty low, only 290 euro. The only problem with Binance card is that is not 100% reliable so every once in a while you card will get rejected for no obvious reason. Beside that, it serves me well as I got sick of paying 6-7% fee on BATM.

Solid alternative to Binance card is Coinbase-Revolut combo. It is not as easy to use as Binance card as you have to send money from Coinbase to Revolut (its basically instant but its still an xtra step) but Revolut card is far more reliable.

It must be killing bitcoin that it can't do NFTs.  Eth is so much more capable in some respects.   Wink
Yeah you are right, one look at bitcoin price and everything is obvious. What a bad troll attempt...


In a year or two NFT will be dead like ICO is now.
Wouldn't be so sure. True, heavily inflated and manipulated JPEG market will probably crumble but I think that NFTs will become an important part of for example  gaming industry as "play to earn" is becoming a thing now. And when you take into consideration that gaming is by far the biggest entertainment industry  (bigger than a whole movie and music industry combined), no wonder that games that are using NFTs are popping left and right. Vast majority of them are still browser-style crap, but soon AAA stuff will start coming out, when major game studios realize the potential to make even more money that way.
4046  Local / Hrvatski (Croatian) / Re: Mjesečna Analiza za Hrvatsku Lokalnu Zajednicu (Bitcointalk Croatian) on: November 29, 2021, 12:51:05 PM
Evo jos jedne mjesecne analize naseg boarda, a ovaj put sam stvarno nadmasio sam sebe sto se tice kasnjenja. Chartovi i liste su preuzeti sa @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboarda te @TryNinja Ninjastic.spacea.



Broj postova  u periodu 01.01.-31.10.

Nakon 9/2021 u kojem je napisano 505 postova, prosli mjesec je bio malo bolji sa 534 posta. Povecanje nije veliko, ali ipak veseli te je svakako bolje nego da smo nastavili sa negativnim trendom. S obzirom da nema novih clanova, tesko da ce biti nekih vecih povecanja u blizoj buducnosti, ali sta je tu je. Ako nista, bar se ne spamaju gluposti i board nam je cist.





A evo i kako aktivnost boarda izgleda od pocetka 2018 pa do danas, skoro 3 godine kasnije a trend je i vise nego ocit.




Na usprednom chartu i dalje stojimo jako solidno te smo i dalje  tom krugu aktivnijih boardova, iako smo doduse bili blizi Talijanima, Filipincima i Portugalcima nego stmo smo sada. Na vrhu su i dalje Rusi, a Turci su imali jako velik pad u odnosu na proslo razdoblje, cca 50%.





Analiza merita za period 01.10 -31.10.

Iako smo bili aktivniji nego u 9/2021, podijeljeno je samo 159 merita sto je pad od cca 25 u odnosu na prethodno razdoblje. Izgleda da je vecina dosla do prizeljkivanih rankova tako da se nikome ne da biti malo aktivniji.




A evo i liste onih koji su dijelili i primali merit. Cisto brojcano, i dalje to izgleda sasvim ok




Na usprednom chartu smo i dalje tu negdje oko sredine sto je ok. Zanimljivo je da su nas skoro stigli Pakistanci, koji ni nemaj svoj board. Na vrhu su naravno Rusi, a Njemci su ostvarili ogroman skok od preko 200% u odnosu na 9/2021.




Na merit/post chart ratio se po mom misljenju stvrano nemamo sto buniti, 0.3 je i dalje prilicno solidan rezultat a vjerujem da imamo potencijal i dosta veci da se kojim slucajem pojavi neki akitvni novi clan koji ima volje napredovati kroz rankove.





Lista aktivnih clanova naseg boarda u periodu 1.10-31.10.


Za kraj evo i liste aktivnih claova u prijespomenutom razdoblju te njihov broj postova. Sampion lokalnog boarda se zna, a ostalima vise srece drugi put. Mozda sada netko bude imao sanse posto je slackovic trenutno bez kampanje, ali se ja ipak ne bi kladio protiv njega. Cheesy

I am assuming you search about 1xbit after lost fund. So take a lesson from here. Whenever you move into a new gambling site, please research as much you can. So you might realize how they are behaving with the customer. Don't believe always online positive reviews, would be manipulated So visit multiple sources to a deep check.
Big part of the problem is that 1xbit is aggressively advertising all over the place, just take for example Coinmarketcap. For huge majority of newbies that's the place where they go to find about coin prices, mcaps and all the other info, so when 1xbit pops up, they think it's a legit site as they don't think that something as popular as CMC would advertise a scam gambling site. Of course, once they get scaammed they type "1xbit scam" or something along those lines and that's how they stumble upon bitcointalk.

Just take a look at this juicy 1xbit ad on CMC saying "get your 7 BTC here". I mean, who doesn't want 7 BTC?  No wonder that bunch of people swallow the bait and register there.

4048  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WHEN DO YOU BUY BITCOIN? on: November 28, 2021, 03:03:05 PM
Haha. I think this is the most frequently asked question for us. I am in crypto since 2013. But most of the time I didn't HOLD my coins. I regret this.
Rare are those that managed to HODL since 2013 without selling anything so you shouldn't beat yourself about it. I enetered crypto at similar time (late 2013) and also had to sell some of my crypto from time to time, sometimes even when price was really low but that's just how it goes. Luckily, I only sold the bare minimum I had to due some unforeseen expenses so I managed to hodl majority


I don't know what is Dollar-cost average method is. But, As I mentioned before, I do this to buy BTC,
So, lets say that you want to buy BTC for 1200 USD, but you don't really feel like giving all the money at once so what you can do instead is to divide that money and buy let's say 100 USD worth of BTC each month, no matter the price. That way you are averaging your entry price and you reduce  impact of volatility. It takes some patience though, but in the long run it works 100% of the time. Well, when it comes to BTC at least, I would never use that method for any other cryptocurrency.
4049  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: 1xbit scam company? on: November 28, 2021, 11:44:47 AM
Sorry to hear that you are yet again 1xbit customer that got scammed. I am not sure that much can be done as they have long history of such behavior without people getting their money out, and numerous similar topics made here on bitcointalk.

You can keep (I guess) trying to figure out way to get your money back, but considering who you are against in this case, I would simply forget about the money and take it as a lesson.
4050  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WHEN DO YOU BUY BITCOIN? on: November 28, 2021, 11:37:32 AM
I was asked exactly this question by my next door neighbor, that know I am into crypto as we hang out from time to time and since he is IT guy, that topic eventually popped up.

Since he has regular income and decent salary but not much money saved as he had some big expenses recently, I suggested him to start buying bitcoin using dollar cost average method, investing basically as  much as he can afford without cutting something important. In the end he decided to invest like 100 euro on the bi-weekly basis. Worst of all, we had exactly the same convo like year and half ago when I told him to start slowly using DCA method, but many like him though that it's too late now (back then BTC was around $10k).

Naravno, video tako dobro izgleda da je cijena prakticki odmah krenula pumpati tako da je sada vec na duplo od onoga gdje je bila prije 2 dana kad sam ju spomenuo. Uglavnom, ovo je igra kojoj se svakako veselim te ju planiram igrati cim budes mogao, nadam se vec u beti.

Yes, you know, @Rikafip, this is something that happens when you rush to the update! Next time you’d better take your time  Grin
Haha yeah lesson learned, I won't rush next month.  Wink



I hope you didn't feel offended. I just wanted to let you know so that you can fix it. I appreciate your patience. This kind of research and analysis is really tough. I saw LoyceV Doing the same thing and he has few threads like this.
Of course I am not offended, no worries about that. Mistakes happen, I sorted it out and that's about it. Regarding the effort needed to make this, to be honest @DdmrDdmr and @TryNinja are the ones that are really putting a lot of effort and without their tools I wouldn't be able to do any of the stuff here. So they are the ones that are doing the heavy lifting, I am more like piggybanking.  Grin



Few questions, I am still a newbie learning every day. I am curious about how you got that data? Do have access to the database? I visited Loyce. club and saw he provided tons of data on his website. Are there any secret options? Don't laugh at me. 😇
As mentioned in my overview, I am using 2 great tools: @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboard and @TryNinja Ninjastic.space.


Q2. What are DT-1 and DT-2? How to become a DT member? How can I know that the guy is a DT member? Does DT mean Default Trust?
For start, I recommend that you read LoyceV's Beginners guide to correct use of the Trust system].


Hehe. It's happened often with me. Whenever I try to do something faster, I made mistakes. xD
That was actually a joke because I really slacked (yet again) and made this overview much later, as I used to do it at the beginning of each month.

Thank you very much for Your Nice Stats.
But, Here I found something interesting. IDK if I am wrong. here it is
You are not wrong, I made a mistake. As you pointed out, I (out of laziness)  just copy/pasted that title from the previous month and forgot to change from "September" to "October", but table is correct.  Anyway, it's been sorted out now and thanks for letting me know.
4054  Other / Meta / Re: Disadvantages of non detectable early Plagiarism on: November 24, 2021, 11:49:55 AM
I usually just Google it:
Same thing here. I tried several different tools, but in the end I just stick to the simple Google search that proved to be the most effective way and more than in enough in 99.99% of the cases.


Google gives you raw result and you can only estimate the percent of plagiarism between original and plagiarized post.
I might be wrong here, but I don't think  that percentage of the plagiarized material makes any difference when it comes to deciding whether someone will get banned or not. At least I haven't noticed any difference.

Unfortunately, a further decline in forum activity is evident and it is now an obviously unstoppable trend that will be very difficult to reverse.
Yeah I think that many of us (I certainly did) expected to see much bigger numbers and new members coming at the start of the bull run year ago. But as we can see, all this hype and news didn't bring many new people in local boards, and situation is not any better in the general part of the forum as well.

I still keep sending to bitcointalk all new people I met in RL that are interested in Bitcoin. I must admit that I didn't have much luck yet, but will keep doing the same.

So a couple of days ago, I was walking in Buenos Aires and I saw a bunch of big Binance ads (pay with BTC, etc. The kind of ads aimed to the regular Joes, not to investors).
Is anybody else seeing that kind of advertising in their city?
I live in a pretty big city and I haven't seen anything like that yet, no exchanges are anything crypto related advertising here yet.  Argentina is a big market so I guess Binance is spreading there.


To be honest, I'm kinda worried they might wake up to cryptocurrencies and start taxing them...  
That's just matter of time, whether we like it or not and no matter the country. All we can do is enjoy while it lasts as once crypot makret becomes big enough, all countries will want even bigger piece of cake than they are taking now.

I tried using trading bot once couple of years ago (friend bought a bot so I also put some money into it and let it trade) and managed to lose like 90% of my money so yeah, so yeah that was the lesson for me not to do stuff I know nothing about/don't have enough time to figure it out properly and I would advise you to do the same as there is no way to earn money without some effort.

As @Bitcoin_Arena  said, this topic should be in trading discussion section but since you probably don't know how to move it there, I reported it do the mods so they will sort that out.
