Are the reward points and lottery tickets in the Multiply game based on the cumulative amount you bet or only on single bets?
For example, if I make five bets of 0.00000100 BTC, will I get a reward point and ticket, or only if I make a single bet of 0.00000500 BTC?
Is there anywhere I can see the amount of points and lottery tickets I've earned from the Multiply game?

It is cumulative so 5x 100 sat bet = 1x 500 sat bet. The only way to see how many you earned is to visit the rewards and lottery tab before and after playing. You'll also need to wait a few minutes for the server to update and refresh the page.

WARNING. This looks like an obvious scam attempt. No casino would just publish a deposit address for investments. I've reported the post so hopefully, it will be deleted soon.

these things seems waste of time for me. instead of hoping to won some coins from this system airdrop is better. Undecided

Airdrops seem a waste of time to me. Instead of hoping to win some Bitcoin it's much better to be an airline pilot.  Roll Eyes

Thanks for reply. i think 100$ is very much for one captcha but i will try it. in addition my base reward became normal yesterday after new algorithm. thanks again

It not just for one captcha, it's to never have to identify a street sign again  Wink You're not actually spending it you're just depositing it and we even pay interest to you. Then you can withdraw anytime you like as well.

its feel a little bit slow today compared to yesterday and there is problem with this page probably some files removed from server or maybe just because of the connection being too slow it timeout while downloading the image


The files definitely have not been removed. https://bitcointalk.org/Themes/custom1/images/star.gif If you just click on the link then the image loads. The problem is with images either being slow to load or failing to load within a post.

Not sure why people use exchanges like a wallet to store coins.

Bitfinex is one of the exchanges that do p2p margin lending. You could easily get a return of 10-20% pa on your coins if you invested them there.

Gold has more than enough real value and utility, for example, as jewelry. If I'm not mistaken, over 50% of all gold produced annually is used in jewelry across the world. Apart from that, such countries as India, China, and Russia are ready to buy massive amounts of gold whenever its price declines a bit. In fact, only around 15% or so of all gold in the world is held by central banks and governments. In other words, there is real demand for it which supports its price at pretty constant levels.

Gold's only utility beyond a store of wealth is as a shiny pet rock. People buy gold jewellery precisely for the reason that it does store wealth. It is easy to resell and recover your investment +/- change in gold price.

There are striking similarities in the reasons there is demand or gold and the reasons there is demand for Bitcoin.

It has happened over a much longer timescale with gold but there are also striking similarities in the charts.

either there is some miscommunication, or i am missing something.

why are they treating this as a compromised account? you're not saying your account was hacked (and funds stolen), so why are they asserting that and requiring a police report?

I think it must have something to do with this.

bitfinex asked me to do a complete verification after I lost access to my account a while ago.

From reading the email Bitfinex sent they are not convinced the OP is the rightful owner of the account. If I'm reading the OP correctly they are either trying to recover a hacked account/lost password or they did that earlier and now Bitfinex has become suspicious about it.

TheQuin hi. i want to ask about captcha. i dont want to solve any more captcha. i want to roll without solving captcha. i want to overcome this problem only by depositing. What should be the minimum amount of deposit to roll without captcha. i deposited more than 500.000 satıshis but i still solve captcha. thanks

I can't give you an official answer on this but from my own experimentation as a customer I think you need to have a balance that is 1) More than 2x your total free-roll winnings and 2) More than $50 $100 value in BTC.

So with the current exchange rate that's a little bit more than 500k. I'm not guaranteeing that will work as it might have been changed again but give it go.

Edit. The boss is watching, it's $100 not $50.

Well, bummer. Until now I didn't know the app wasn't official. I have now removed it, changed password and enabled 2FA. Perhaps a HUGE warning on the official site is in order since many, many users are using the app?

I would hope it would be obvious that any official app would be advertised and linked to from the site.

My minimum payout is still halved though. Any chance it can be restored to normal? ID 12114971. If not I may consider opening a new account. Which sucks, because I'd lose the few refs I have.

Have a quick read back to my previous answers and you'll see what you need to do to get back to full rewards. I don't see that opening a new account will help.

So its been a few months now

I'm taking that to mean that the admins are unlikely to re-enable user stats until the new forum software is ready in 2067.

As wetsuit explained above.

So we have been forced to reduce the free play rewards using an algorithm, specifics of which I cannot reveal as that would compromise it.

I can tell you that your gambling, buying lottery tickets and deposit history is taken into account.


So, if I'm not able to do a deposit. gambling and buying tickets will help to fix this? I just want to be sure that I get it right.
Thanks.

Yes, spot on. I can't tell you what the threshold is for playing Hi-Lo and/or buying lottery tickets because I don't know, but if you play/buy enough you'll find it.
4393  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win free Bitcoins every hour! on: March 27, 2018, 04:08:35 PM
I am back at 25 sat now. Dont know why but thank you.

Maybe try reading back 2 posts  Wink

I have made some further improvements to the algorithm so it should be better for some (not all) users who were previously experiencing lower rewards.

Yup, back on the last page https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.msg32964177#msg32964177

There's some discussion about whether I'm right or wrong after that post.
4395  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win free Bitcoins every hour! on: March 27, 2018, 01:48:46 PM
my mother and i, we are legit users, we follow the supreme two rules: dont create multiple accounts and dont use bots.

We're not saying you aren't legitimate users.

It is not at all suspicious but reducing the base reward is necessary to keep the site profitable and the faucet available for all. The faucet is funded by the house edge of the Hi-Lo game and those that buy lottery tickets so it is fair that they continue to receive higher rewards. If you don't want to gamble then you can also deposit and keep a larger balance and you will also get higher rewards and receive interest payments as well.

i not doubting about botnets, sure they are out there, but what im saying, this solution right now, at the state it is, is not working, its creating colateral damage (soon your stats will tell).
take it back to the drawing board, test it extensively before re-implementing, in the mean time, use multiple captchas type...

Reducing the base payouts on freedoge.co.in has successfully transformed it to making a profit and we are now extending the approach to Freebitco.in, only this time the reduction is not for all. We do of course monitor our stats and most importantly our PnL line.

4396  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win free Bitcoins every hour! on: March 27, 2018, 01:00:34 PM
well, then its simply flawed...,
better take it off and implement two or three differente captchas for the free roll page.
i bet that would be a preferably solution for everyone.

They adapt to any changes we make in a couple of days. Adding extra captchas would only buy us that and also frustrate genuine users.

currently my base prize goes up and down all the time (down again now) and on my end nothing changed

If you mean it jumping from half to full then this indicates your account usage is hovering around the level required to receive full base reward. If you mean it fluctuates by 1 or 2 sats then that is simply the USD to BTC exchange rate.

btw, im unaware of any bot that can actually solve recaptchas (not talking about those slow indian services..., watch youtube for it, LOL)

I'm not qualified to answer that but when wetsuit says there are botnets trying to bleed us dry and they adapt to everything he does to stop them, I believe him.
4397  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: FreeBitco.in - Win free Bitcoins every hour! on: March 27, 2018, 11:26:24 AM
This answer does not help me very much. I try to collect some Satoshis, dont want to waste them in a raffle. I am never lucky with raffles so i dont use them.


This seems very odd to me. A user that Claims regularly from your faucet is suspicious for you?

This algorithm apparently affects users who are not bots. I am one of them.

I'm not Bot. Please fix it.

At Freebitco.in we have managed to only reduce it for some. The bots and abusers prefer Doge for its low transaction fees.

I just checked. My reward is still down at 13 sat/roll. Why?

1. The account is Legendary account with rad tagged from all DT members plus from a lot of regular members. The account is a mess.
2. The account is a Legendary account with and included in DT
.
.
n. There could be nth scenarios.

In both cases (1 and 2, forget about the rest) for the forum I have no idea what to do since I am a newbie. Case 1 is an injustice for me since originally it was not me, Case 2 might be a blessing but again it's not me originally.

I case 1 just change the email on the dirty account and make a new account.

In case 2 just thank some unknown fool for the gift.

It is no longer the case. I just registered a new account for a new venture that I'm a member of, and although email verification was not required, an address was. Here's what is displayed on the registration page:



In that case, as it is easy enough to get an anonymous email I don't see any reason not to include a verification email on sign up.
