I quite like the design of your website, it looks very simple and I like that you have a bet going for the US presidential election on the front page.
Not too sure about the colors, but that's just my personal opinion.
4202  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Has anyone ever lost bitcoins before? on: October 07, 2016, 02:53:54 PM
yes I often lose at gambling and losing in gambling will never recover.

then I lose on trading and it's easy to recover it for me, but it certainly takes time.


I don't think this is what OP meant, losing Bitcoins in gambling is not the same as getting coins stolen or being scammed.
You're prepared to lose when you engage in gambling, at least you should be.

I'm lucky enough to have never been scammed and I've not had any coins on an exchange that went down with all funds.
4203  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If you believe banks will work with Bitcoin, you're delusional on: October 07, 2016, 02:50:59 PM
Why would banks give two shits about Bitcoin with its baby market cap and low daily transaction volume? There are single businesses with 50-60 times the market cap that Bitcoin has held steady at for 3 1/2 years.

Company Caps                           Market Cap
                                                ($in billions)
Apple Inc                                    613.69
Alphabet Inc                               551.94
Microsoft Corporation                   449.94
Amazon.com Inc.                        399.01
Facebook Inc                              369.70
Exxon Mobil Corp                        360.95
Berkshire Hathaway Inc.              354.66
Johnson & Johnson                      324.89

This is probably the most accurate reply here. Banks would embrace Bitcoin if it had a higher market cap, because they could make money off Bitcoin in various ways.

I see a lot of responses in this thread that come close to conspiracy in my opinion.
Indeed, now banks are mostly interested in Bitcoin because of the underlying blockchain technology, but if Bitcoin suddently had a market cap equal to that of Apple or Microsoft, they would be all over it and lobbying the government to be able to use it.

Also, don't forget that they are bound by government regulations surrounding Bitcoin.
4204  Other / Off-topic / Re: Where u use bitcoins? on: October 07, 2016, 02:19:27 PM
After getting scammed of about $30 i had stopped looking for investments so currently i am using only yobit.net for trading purposes and except this site i am using bitcoin yo buy something from online stores which are from another countries because for bank transfer it requires more transaction fees and more time for processing.
Well, you're going to get scammed if you invest in things that look too good to be true.
There are a lot of ponzi's, but they should be easily recognizable, since they all have similar websites and concepts (Bitcoin doublers etc.)
4205  Economy / Economics / Re: How to save money. on: October 07, 2016, 02:14:40 PM
It sounds like an old style but it is still being used. Buy a piggy bank or some box that you cant open without breaking it. You put some money there every salary then if you will it is full you can break it. Still the best way for me to save.
Since we're all using Bitcoin here, there's better ways to do this.
You just make a paper wallet and put it in a place that you can't immediately reach.
4206  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Apple Pay vs Bitcoins on: October 07, 2016, 01:45:48 PM
Does Apple Pay even work in Europe? Not that I am running an iPhone but I have the impression that like 80% of the people here are using Androids and mostly Samsungs. I know that Samsung are developing their own payment app so Apple Pay is not the only player on the market. Anyways if you are paying on a POS terminal you could just use your Bitcoin debit card as well without a problem.
Yes, it does work in some European countries, but at least in my country (Belgium), the majority of people have an Android indeed.
4207  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Advantages of Bitcoin over traditional payment systems on: October 07, 2016, 01:29:40 PM
You also should include the disadvantages, it doesn't seem honest just to show the good stuff, you should give a complete picture.

Yes there are several disadvantages as well and as well all know comparison = similarity + dissimilarity. On this note I would like to point out some relevant points regarding this matter:

1. Volatility of price of bitcoin is there which makes it a prime target for traders. Bad news for stores/shops
2. Payment Gateways integration is low for bitcoin with respect to fiat currency.
3. Payment Availability in bitcoin is also low. Not many people get paid in bitcoin for offering their service (I am talking in general which means outside this forum)
4. Acceptance and Popularity - bitcoin needs more acceptance throughout the world, that does not mean the US/UK - the rest of the world is also there.
5. Irreversibility of transaction - though I consider it as the least because it is a fault of the user to mis-click and not system. However we are all human and we tend to make mistakes.

Edit: I did remove one about which I am also not very confident as a disadvatage but is rather a misconception.

Lack of consumer protection, network congestion leading to huge confirmation times, and lack of scalability are the main disadvantages.

Also, I don't think it's fair to compare Bitcoin with a payment system as bitcoin is not suited to be used for shopping, specially online shopping.
Care to elaborate on that? I'd say it's perfectly suitable for online shopping, especially recently with relative low volatility.
Also, many retailers would disagree with you, since there are quite a few that have implemented Bitcoin payments and they've not removed it for years now.

The list of businesses accepting Bitcoin is growing, maybe not as fast as everybody would like, but slowly it's winning over even large corporations.

And for OP, having a list of places that accept Bitcoin, especially large retailers or service providers is always good to mention when you talk about the benefits of using Bitcoin. No point in talking about benefits to a regular person if you don't provide him with practical use cases.
4208  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: cryptocurrency services list website startup on: October 07, 2016, 09:50:02 AM
I would not use it, it just looks too beginner. I didn't like the design and I don't see any good info on there.
How much time have you actually spent designing this? I don't think it would be more than half an hour by the looks of it.
4209  Economy / Gambling / Re: Investing in btc casinos on: October 07, 2016, 09:44:34 AM
Its very risky gambling

Investing in casinos is less risky as compare with gambling on. I think investment is good decision if we had some extra amount and can hold for some times. Than we could get profit by investing in gambling casinos because our will be on side of the house. Everybody know this the house always win in long run.

Although having an online casino might be profitable it is not guaranteed that all the investors will get their profit or even that they will have their money back. So it is better to invest in a site if you know the owner personally or if you can see that he/she have a great reputation here on this forum for example.
Also an option to make it a bit safer would be to invest in a site that will allow you to withdraw your coins instantly.
And definitely look for a site that has been around for a while.
4210  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The danger of the cyptocurrencies on: October 07, 2016, 09:41:57 AM
There's a lot of dangers in digital money, well, I don't think Satoshi is from CIA or whatever and I think they don't have interest in "few billions dollars"... The big players can buy all bitcoin and still have money to make a party.

But yeah, digital money can disapear, we can se a lot of altcoins going away with ICO money, can you imagine if someone do that with a ready coin?

Well, there's a lot of risks, so that's why you should not invest all your money in cryptos Wink be smart and trust none.
yeah it is really not possible that satoshi is cia because bitcoins are kinda against governments
I wouldn't say that it's impossible, maybe unlikely. But Bitcoin is definitely not against governments, Bitcoin isn't against anything.
You could say that the founder was looking for a way to move away from centralized banking, in response to the financial crisis.
4211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin Casino Affiliates on: October 07, 2016, 09:36:47 AM
I will share my experience with Crypto-Games.

Haven't made that much through affiliates, but I have 69 in total, not really a low number. In total I've made less than 0.01 BTC.
The stats are updated daily and you get quite a lot of info about referrals, all earnings for different coins and games. What I'd like to see though is where referrals came from, but I do not know if something like this would be possible to offer.

Referral earnings are processed (almost) instantly and I can withdraw them instantly.

I do not really understand question no 2, what do you mean by account manager?

4212  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: European Drug Report: Dark Net Rising in Use, Making Drugs Safer on: October 07, 2016, 09:10:29 AM
Interesting but why are so many people dying lately from drug use linked to the street level?
Dealers mixing fentanyl into all drugs seems to be lighting up the death toll. Have read the reasons for this but not sure I buy the Cartels finding this to be a easier game than cocaine fields. Think it points more towards China but the reason is some what unknown.

On the one hand the internet has made it easier but it also makes one bad person on one of these sites with a screw loose to bring the death toll up. Not every customer knows how to check their drugs or even bothers.

Sellers are also doing this on the darknet, I've read a few stories where people died of Fent that was mixed in with Xanax for example.
Or they willingly bought Fentanyl and just used an incorrect dose.

It's quite interesting to follow the darknetmarkets subreddit, you can read some pretty interesting stories there sometimes.
4213  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 'Brave' browser starts paying bitcoins on: October 07, 2016, 09:05:02 AM
I've been hearing about this, it's awesome that they actually finished it.

If Opera starts to do the same thing like they stated then Bitcoin will become even more expensive because of Opera's large userbase.

Source: https://cointelegraph.com/news/opera-browser-may-consider-integrating-bitcoin-implements-built-in-adblock
That would be pretty great news, I could also see Firefox doing something like this after Opera starts doing it.
Chrome would never implement something like this, since Google relies too heavily on ads itself.

How large is Opera's userbase exactly?
4214  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win free Bitcoins every hour! on: October 07, 2016, 08:57:30 AM
i dont know if loterry is fair but for sure the faucet itself is.

i dont know why i never won tho...

to be honest i dont visit it like before maybe 1 per week just to see if he is on same place  Grin

but i remember that several users here ask who won to place proof and if i recall only few of them did mainly was 3rd and 5th prize

The chances that the winners would be looking at this thread are fairly low and the chances to actually win first prize are also very low.
I don't know for sure it is fair, but I do think so.
4215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: to all gamble site master , how much do you want to pay for a regular player? on: October 07, 2016, 08:55:01 AM
Are you talking about welcome bonusses or what?
Would you give the reward first, before those players have even played at your site, because I could see people talking advantage of that...


yes  see my giveaways , welcome bonus. 

0.01btc for every regular player.
Ah ok, I understand now, but your thread is a bit confusing, you should add this info in the main thread of your site, and you can bump it every 24 hours.

I think that would make more sense, any way good luck with your site!
4216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: we should talk something useful,here on: October 07, 2016, 08:51:53 AM
I don't think I fully understand your questions.

what I want to talk is how to make the gamble fair enough.
Why? Some sites are provably fair, some are not. If you want to be sure that you gamble in a fair way, only play on provably fair sites.

as far as I know there a lots of dice site , and they can be proveble fair.
You've answered your first question...

and any other examples of new type of games ( gambles)?
What are you asking here exactly? You want to know about more unique ways to gamble? Custom games maybe? I really have no idea what you mean by this.

Nitrogen Sports will also be adding the option to bet on the presidential election soon.
surprised that they haven't added it yet though

https://nitrogensports.eu/sport/specials/u.s.-presidential-election

And yeah, don't use the site OP has mentioned, probably a scam.
4219  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: do you accept bitcoins in your business on: October 07, 2016, 08:39:21 AM
yes i will surely like to accept bitcoin in my business actually i want to promote bitcoin and for that i am ready to accept bitcoin in my business but i think there are very little number of people who know about bitcoin.

True, there are only few people around that has bitcoin in the community... I too is planning to open a repair shop and planning to accept bitcoin but  the thing is, there are only few of us here and not even over my fingers in the hands... But who knows, someone might have a big stash here and I just don't know them...  Smiley
that's actually such a struggle when you're going to implement bitcoin in real life,too low of amount people who use bitcoin around so to keep up the business,the only way is making bitcoin as an alternative payment option,so you will accept any customers even though most of business won't accepting only one payment,they will accepting any possible payment option
I think it is wise to accept bitcoin in gambling business than in a store or merchandise business.

If you do a business online selling physical items your market is not that big so you will not be profitable, you should not start a business that is not proven to be profitable and you should not go other than online gambling sites.
You're not really making sense here, why should owning a regular retail business not be profitable?
You can easily implement Bitcoin payments in any online store that sells physical items and also be profitable.

You're saying that it's only profitable to accept Bitcoin for gambling sites? What a load of bullshit....

Besides you're not guaranteed to make any profit with a gambling site, it still has to be popular and be secure etc.
It requires a huge investment either way...
4220  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to explain bitcoin to teenagers or children on: October 07, 2016, 07:50:56 AM
I would have left out that estimate that you've made, saying that 98% of the children and young adults in your country don't know about Bitcoin.
You haven't even said which country you are from, let alone provide a source for that.

Children and teenagers should have no problem using Bitcoin, they are usually a lot more in tune with current technology than the older generations and if they ever need to use Bitcoin for something, most of them will learn how to use it quite easily.
It's not rocket science, sending payments is quite easy and you don't have to know about all the technology aspects behind Bitcoin to be able to use it.
