The 25% Rakeback is impressive.. because I do not get that at any of the other sites where I gamble. There are not a lot of people playing at your site... the only person I saw was "hauzenberg"  Grin

I am a bit worried about the claims that your "Provably Fair" system is flawed, so I am not going to hit the Limbo and Dice before you explained why hauzenberg is querying your system. Will monitor this thread .... and then decide what to do.  Wink
4102  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How has crypto positively impacted your life? on: June 25, 2021, 04:55:09 PM
I have to say that Crypto currencies has broadened my knowledge considerably. I got into Crypto currencies a few years ago, because I was a victim of Credit card fraud and I lost a lot of money. I started looking for an alternative payment option that would be a safer option than Credit card payments and I found Bitcoin.

This changed my life a lot, because I did not just get an alternative payment option... but so much more. (Examples : Knowledge on trading and encryption and also alternative income options)  Wink

The new Plinko is funky and you guys are giving some of the other popular sites with Plinko, a run for their money now.  Wink  I am totally addicted to Plinko..so I search all the sites with a Plinko game and then I degen on it.  Roll Eyes

The promotion for Plinko is also very good to boost it, but I think the highrollers are kicking ass with this one. Thank you for a nice gambling experience.... I hope you revamp the other games soon.. with even better promotions.  Grin  (10/10)
4104  Economy / Economics / Re: Founders of South African Bitcoin exchange disappear after $3.6 billion 'hack' on: June 24, 2021, 06:53:16 PM
The title is misleading, because this site is not an exchange.. but rather one of those scam investment companies that are using Bitcoin (Crypto currencies) as the investment option. This AfriCrypt fraud has been compared to the Mirror Trading International scam. (Ponzi Scheme) ==> Africrypt boasted returns of 2-11% a month  Roll Eyes

Go read more at https://www.moneyweb.co.za/moneyweb-crypto/africrypt-hack-of-nearly-r54bn-dwarfs-mirror-trading/ and also see that Raees and Ameer Cajee – reportedly disappeared to the UK (A country from where they can be extradited to South Africa)  Wink

4105  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you worry about not being able to convert BTC to fiat in future on: June 24, 2021, 03:53:18 PM
Nah, some of us have been around since the day when you could only convert BTC to Fiat, if you traded it person2person and Bitcoin was relatively new back then. Everyone know about Bitcoin now, so it should not be more difficult now to do it again.  Wink

Also, taking a "Bitcoin Holiday" to a destination where Bitcoin is still accepted ...should also not be a problem, if you can find a way to turn it into something that you can bring back in or transfer via the Internet.  Wink   (Larger amounts makes this a viable option)

Japan and some other countries accept Bitcoin as a Currency, so you can have a great holiday, if you go there and pay with bitcoins for everything.  Wink  (Your own country will then loose out on the VAT and taxes)  Cool
4106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Recognizing Gambling Disorders, Symptoms of Severe Gambling Addiction on: June 24, 2021, 11:40:13 AM
"Responsible gamblers knows when to Stop" ...so if you cannot stop for any reason at all, then you have a problem. The same goes for any other activity or even food or alcohol. I know people who are addicted to "Exercise" .... because their brain gives off "feel good" endorphins when they exercise and they get addicted to that. (Doing too much exercise can also be harmful)

If you need to gamble to "fill" some need or to get some rush that you are not getting somewhere else, then you have to do some introspection to see if you have a problem and then get some help, if you do.  Wink
4107  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bitcasino.io 💜 — Discover the best VR poker games ♠️ 🥽 ♥️ on: June 23, 2021, 12:26:03 PM
Virtual reality gives a new whole experience for a gambler when they visit the gambling site. They will see a new interface with the game, and they will feel like playing gambling games in a real situation. That will be something for the gambler if the VR technology can apply in almost all gambling games someday, so even if they are playing gambling online, they will feel like playing gambling in the offline casino. I am sure that situation will happen as the technology will develop to that level. But what bitcasino.io did really gives something different for the poker games.

I think this might be what the Brick n Mortar casinos are aiming for in the future. The Covid 19 pandemic and the Lockdowns has made a significant impact on their profits, because people were not allowed to visit casinos and let's be honest... most Brick n Mortar casinos are filled with older people and these people are avoiding casinos now, because most of them have Commodities.  Sad

I predict a future where Brick n Mortar casinos will be replaced by VR casinos, because the other advantage is the huge savings in overheads. Virtual casinos can operate with much less employees and the gambler pay for the electricity to play most of the online games.

Welcome to the future of gambling guys.... Thank you Bitcasino for showing us a glimpse of what is to come.  Wink

4108  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: I started a blog interviewing crypto people. I called it Crypto Fireside. on: June 23, 2021, 06:43:21 AM
Hey, Great job Man...

It will be a blast if you can conjure up some interviews with the controversial issues and characters in the Crypto scene, like Gavin Andresen, Mike Hearn, Roger Ver and John McAfee to get the behind the scene information on their latest projects and also some answers on why they turned against Bitcoin and why they tried to sabotage it. (The real reason, not the financial reasons)

I think the most interesting interview can be with Andreas Antonopoulos (The person behind the Legend) .... because people just love this guy!

Good Luck!!
4109  Economy / Economics / Re: Twitter ban, koo opens up. How will this play in Nigeriann business environment on: June 22, 2021, 11:34:37 AM
The Nigerian government should be more concerned with the "bad" reputation they have... as the "Scammer paradise of Africa" ..than banning Social media that are trying to stop hate speech and propaganda.

They cannot point fingers at the "West" for being biased, because Twitter has done the same with Donald Trump. The problem is, these African leaders feel like "Gods" in their own countries and actions like this (banning of Twitter accounts or Tweets) .... take away the fear of  their people towards them and they want to stop that. (Example : North Korea)

I applaud Social media companies that stand up to misuse of their platforms to spread fear and intimidation, even if it is from the highest position in another country.  Wink
4110  Economy / Economics / Re: How Bitcoin Improves Financial Access And Inclusion on: June 22, 2021, 07:52:45 AM
In my experience, more people now are trading with Crypto currencies .... something that previously needed professional traders and specialized training to do or this was done through a Broker. So Crypto currencies has opened up a world of opportunities for "newbie" traders to cut their teeth and to sharpen their trading skills.

You also do not have to pay a Broker to trade on your behalf, so you put more profit back into your pockets by doing this yourself. Several "newbies" has made a fortune by buying new Alt coins low and selling them high.  Grin     (Power to more People)

This also created new job opportunities and something that can be done online in times where people have to work from home due to Covid Lockdowns.

4112  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: China’s Bitcoin ban is short-term negative, long-term positive on: June 22, 2021, 05:27:18 AM
I think one of the biggest advantage of China's decision, is the shift of the hashing power.... because it has been a long-term debate and other countries even perceived that as a threat, because they were saying China was having a monopoly on the Bitcoin hashing power and that they might execute a 51% attack with that power.  Roll Eyes

It seems as though some miners in China has been shutting off their miners and they have been shifting it to Japan and other countries, where the governments are more positive on Crypto currencies.  Wink
4113  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Dumps to $32K as China’s Bank Announced a Ban on Crypto Usage on: June 21, 2021, 12:18:42 PM
" It is worth noting that the Agricultural Bank of China is actually working on the national digital currency and has conducted several experiments to launch it. "  Roll Eyes

So you ban other digital currencies to eliminate the competition to your own digital currency that are under development. I really feel sorry for the Chinese citizens that are supporting a government like that.  Sad  

This mentality borders on a type of Stockholm syndrome, where the victim grow feelings towards their captors. This is something that the Western world cannot understand and most people would expect something different from a civilization that are more than 5,000 years old.  
4114  Economy / Economics / Re: Aren't we the reason why BTC is becoming too much centralized? on: June 21, 2021, 11:19:09 AM
Who says it is only the institutional sector that are buying these coins and not millions of other individuals that are buying, when the price goes down to affordable levels? I know most of my friends and family are buying the dip and none of them form any part of some large institutional organization.  Roll Eyes

The "Dip" is necessary to flush out all the speculators from the Bitcoin scene, because these people are the people that are "trigger happy" when the price goes down and the first people who are selling. True believers in the technology and the future of Bitcoin will hoard and buy more coins on the Dip and use a small percentage of their coins for eCommerce.  Wink

4115  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in-$200 FreeBTC⭐Win Lambo🔥0.2BTC DailyJackpot🏆$32,500 Wager Contest on: June 21, 2021, 09:57:50 AM
...........probably in first 5 thousand or so in visitor count as well (making this up, I do not know real number).............
Freebitco is now the 1370th most popular website in the world based on Alexa ranking.
They are ranked higher than all other gambling websites that have thread on this forum.



They are also the 10th most popular website among all gambling websites on similarweb ranking.

This is actually very remarkable if you consider that research shows the average time spent on a website is about 45 seconds. You should think that the average faucet user, should only be visiting Freebitco.in for a few seconds to claim the hourly faucet and then move onto something else.

I think most people claim their FREE hourly Satoshi's and then they use the Multiplier to try and gamble a bit to see if they can increase their bitcoins.  Grin   (Most of my referrals are doing that, based on the referral commission I receive)

I think it is about time that Freebitco.in add some Slots or some Crash game to increase the time people are spending on the site. (Let's also have FUN tokens being added as a token that can be gambled with)  Wink

4116  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and CO2 emissions (Should we care?) on: June 21, 2021, 05:44:12 AM
The only reason why Elon Musk wants to bring the CO2 emission and clean energy into the issue, is because he wants to sell more "clean energy" solutions. See this ==> https://www.tesla.com/solarroof

Let's not forget that Elon Musk is a clever business man and he never does something without considering how it will positively impact his pocket, so he made this statement to get people to invest more into "Clean energy" and possibly into his projects.

Should we care about CO2 emission? Yes, it is our responsibility to look after the world we live in. Do Banks care about their energy footprint...? No, they care about their profits.  Roll Eyes
4117  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: AirGap wallet- Self custody made simple and secure - Protect your crypto offline on: June 19, 2021, 03:07:55 PM
Can you give a brief explanation how the tx's is being transferred from the Vault to the Wallet? (QR Code) without the source being contaminated or altered using Malware?

Would it not be more secure if the tx's could be encrypted between the source and destination? (To prevent a Man-In-The-Middle attack between the two devices? I have been looking for something like this to sweep coins from a Paper Wallet to a online wallet, but the Private Key must be encrypted at all times.  Wink
4118  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Anonymity and Privacy while using Bitcoin. Which one is the right word to use? on: June 19, 2021, 11:44:06 AM
We talk about Pseudo-anonymity, where you appear to be anonymous, but in reality you are not 100% anonymous. The moment when you link your Bitcoin address to some third party service where your real identity can be tracked, your anonymity is gone. So, if you buy your bitcoins through a regulated third party... you have zero anonymity.  Roll Eyes

Even if you bought your bitcoins through an anonymous source, you lose your anonymity when you pay for a product or service where they require your real identity.  Tongue  (Casinos / Merchants / Hardware wallet providers etc)
4119  Economy / Economics / Re: Why don't banks work with cryptocurrency? on: June 19, 2021, 11:07:37 AM
Nope.. The real reason is this.

Governments control Reserve currencies and they have the power to print money. The Reserve Banks dish out that Money to Banks and they distribute it to the people in the form of loans. Now, why would Banks piss off the hand that feeds them and also the guns that protects them?

Also, when Banks fail... governments jump in with huge bailouts that are funded with taxpayers money to save them... So it is in their best interest to support the hand that feeds them.  Wink
4120  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2021-06-04] Elon Musk is ‘definitely too influential on Bitcoin prices’ on: June 18, 2021, 08:23:40 PM
Elon Musk might have control over all the other smaller shitcoins like Shiba Inu and DogeCoin.. but only a small influence on Bitcoin. Many people believe that his tweet over the high energy usage of Bitcoin...started the down turn in the Bitcoin price.. but they are wrong.

A bunch of Chinese Bitcoin whales wanted to push out another whale and they collectively dumped loads of coin on the markets, which caused the dip in the Bitcoin price... it just so happened that Elon Musk posted that tweet a day or two before that. People give Elon Musk to much credit for things he did not do.  Wink
