4481  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling with Fiat or Crypto? on: December 04, 2019, 10:23:44 AM
But I still prefer to play gambling with fiat than crypto because I don't have to risk my real money.

I don't understand this, fiat and crypto are both money, and therefore you are risking money regardless of what you use to gamble.

Sorry, but I have to ask this, are you have you tried gambling both in crypto and fiat?

Ah, I make a mistake by writing that. Thank you for reminding me. I edit my post Grin

Yes, fiat and crypto is money, but when I play gambling with crypto, I don't risk my real money, but I send some coin to the gambling website so I can directly play gambling. I mean I prefer to play gambling with crypto than fiat because if I use fiat to gamble, I need to use my money from my pockets.

Lol, you repeat again that fiat is real money. Or you probably mean physical fiat... physical =real?
 Guess you don't gamble online with your local virtual fiat currency or you don't really gamble on local gambling sites.  I kind of understand your point though.

I feel that the website is quite thorough and that a lot of work went into making it. The idea of websites' hosting is great and I think many people would consider its use, do you think this may be something you'd later introduce a surge charge for, if atm is free, as a way to keep the project going?

Also, are there affiliations to some of the games you listed on there, or can anybody pitch in? Thanks, and great work btw

All together a lot of changes and improvements were made to the forums layout and the new format should be a lot more engaging and easier to learn from.

Thanks to all on BitcoinTalk for your comments and suggestions!


I have to be totally honest to you, What my impression on your gambling forum is that no one actually talks about gambling that often, I noticed that there is a low number of forum participants.
A post a month ago has no reply, threads are actually empty at all. I do not intend to discourage you with my comments, all you need to do is to attract potential participants for your forum who is related on gambling. About the website, I fairly like the layout it looks like the cryptotalk forum if you have seen it but the thick margin is annoying.


He improved the forum alittle bit... It looks better now though there are other things that need improving.
As regards "no one talks about gambling often" part, guess they will think otherwise due to Bitcointalk success in that area. I guess people are encouraged to create their own gambling forum when they see how Bitcointalk gambling sections are thriving. They probably don't understand why things work  here.
4483  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Truly Random is Random on: December 04, 2019, 08:19:52 AM
My guess is all or most of the factors responsible for the distribution have to be known and understood else it's considered random distribution.
I believe nothing is really random. We humans are limited in our understanding of what creates the so called randomness, so we use the word random.
There are probably unknown reasons why the points at the right are distributed that way. You can easily understand why if you have sufficient understanding of how it's generated
4484  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which cryptocurrencies are highly undervalued these days? on: December 04, 2019, 07:16:12 AM
I guess, the sh**coin tags of all new projects have made things a little hard for crypto community. I believe lots of people have good project they believe are worth considering but for the fear of being tagged scoins, they withdraw back to their shells. People prefer to recommend the top/established coins rather than new projects. This is how innovative can be tactically killed or slowed down in Crypto.
I guess good and long lasting incentives could help counter potential apathy for new great projects.
4485  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin value on: December 04, 2019, 06:48:33 AM
Bitcoin is programmed to increase in price to counter inflation.
 So we expect it it to naturally and continuously increase in price. If somehow the price stops going up while demand keeps going up then it's certainly not normal or natural. Also if price remains stable while demand is decreasing,  it's certainly not normal or natural.
4486  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Did Satoshi Nakamoto Choose 21M as Bitcoin’s Maximum Supply? on: December 04, 2019, 06:27:46 AM
I guess he factored in the world's population. He believed 21 millions is enough for billions?
The idea is to encourage scarcity and deflation.  The creators of Bitcoin understood what sound money should be. They imitated gold scarcity I guess. It needs to be both Medium of exchange and Store of Value. 
Sound money also has to be long-lasting, valuable, scarce, deflationary, divisible, hard to counterfeit, etc

I have been able to manage my health with those below. Hope they work for others.

In summary:

— Don't do what you don't like.

— Try fruit fasting every morning.

— Watch what you eat or Eat healthy. If possible follow the Jewish dietary rule in its natural form. I think the dietary rule is called Kosher/Kashrut foods (I am not really sure). https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/what-is-kosher You can apply the Jewish dietary rules to you local healthy foods.

— Drink lots of warm water in gulp, mixed with fruit juice that has lots of sour, acidic taste. plus green tea. The water has to be a little above warm.

4488  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investors are getting smarter but why not developers???? on: December 03, 2019, 05:12:12 PM
I guess you meant to say investors are "avoiding" and not "invading" some exchanges?

Many developers don't bother too about the quality of exchanges they wish to list on as long as the exchanges listing fee are cheap. Unfortunately, they do this at the expense of their investors & the project. I guess there is no easy way they could know what exchange is reliable and trustworthy. Regular online reviews are not always very reliable.
4489  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever done to experiment to determine percentage of winning? on: December 03, 2019, 12:18:13 PM
If your record is consist of more losses than wins, it means gambling cannot become a way to ensure money. It is a random game that totally depends on luck. your current way of playing is the correct one. No need to keep track of loses because it will just hurt and urge you for recovery. Sports betting can increase the percentage of winning on the basis of your knowledge. Just enjoy the game.
More wins or losses either way it's not sustainable for most gamblers. On sports betting it's possible but only a few could pull a consistent win rate with a good enough average odds per bet.

Most good gambling platforms give you a way to track your previous bets.

I recommend that everybody goes through to find out their win percentage and especially calculate their wins/losses.

This way you can determine what needs to change with future gambles.
Calculating your wins and losses to know what changes are needed won't help unless you're using the same multiplier and with that said it sounds like gambler's fallacy.

Sport-betting and most skill-based game, I guess. Ofcourse, only few win something in competitive games like skill-based gambling. The interesting thing about this is that this few  rely on gambling for regular source of income.
 Such consistent win rate is unlikely on probability based gambling.
4490  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: $1 billion XRP unlocked from its escrow wallet by Ripple on: December 03, 2019, 10:24:48 AM
The third-biggest cryptocurrency, Ripple exhibition has fundamentally declined prompting dread among its investors. They are at present resting at a help level of $0.20. Ripple opened $1 billion XRP from its escrow wallet yesterday speaking to its inventory portion for the month in simultaneousness with its pre-decided timetable.

This right now adds up to $225 million. This implies another $220 million worth of XRP is accessible for Ripple to utilize anyway they need to. Thinking about the general decay of altcoins and the bearish value developments of digital money, this move isn’t greeted by Users of Ripple.

Source: TheCoinRepublic

1 billion XRP is a lot of supply. They probably won't sell everything at the current price of Ripple coin unless there wealthy entities willing to buy 1 billion XRP at 0.20. Or they wish to sell the whole thing gradually across multiple exchanges.
 They need enough demand for XRP to be able to safely sell everything else they will mercilessly dump the coin
4491  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Practical "Self-Exclusion" from Bitcoin Gambling Websites on: December 03, 2019, 09:30:57 AM
The locking of gambling addicts Bitcoin is a good idea too. But I think the owner of the locked Bitcoin may sell fiat to buy another Bitcoin when the addiction kicks in. But if he ends up locking all his funds, he probably won't have any money to pay bills, money for food, fare, etc
4492  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Can this Be The Solution To The Incessant Exchange hacks? on: December 03, 2019, 05:46:11 AM
I doubt the problem is about bug. If they want you hacked, you will be hacked. The main problem is weakness in centralized exchanges and centralizion of fund. The exchange funds should be controlled by multiple people atleast or the funds should not be stored on single or few addresses. Besides, the whole centralization thing should be considered strange in crypto world and discouraged... We tell them "You are on your own if you decide to go that route". So, everybody using centralized platforms in this space should be aware of the risks.
There was a suggestion on the use of special withdrawal addresses controlled by multiple people for large funds. Once withdrawal is triggered, the funds are moved to the address and the owners can prove they own them and have their funds released. I wonder if this will work on centralized exchanges without problems
4493  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Earning DEX Fees VS Earning CEX Fees. Thoughts? on: December 02, 2019, 08:24:22 PM
It is mandatory to host this on VPS server? Can it still be considered decentralized if people will be hosting it on VPS servers? This's probably my first time of seeing the VPS aspect since I started paying more attention to posts on Blocknet decentralized exchange.
It's still an interesting project though...
4494  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Survey: At What Price would you stop investing more money into Bitcoin ??? on: December 02, 2019, 06:21:45 PM
Won't stop "investing" as long as Bitcoin is still very useful to me. To be honest, I am more focused on the features rather than the price.. . Value should be proportional to Price. And bitcoin remains extremely valuable as far as usefulness is concerned.
Do people understand what Blockchain/decentralization is compared to centralization. If they do, they will find Bitcoin very valuable?
4495  Other / Off-topic / Re: Andriod or IOS on: December 02, 2019, 05:01:08 PM
Many people are still confused on which mobile phone to choose when they need to buy new phones. Will people prefer Android for ease of use / customization or use IOS, as sort of Jail but with greater security ?

Tell us your views and experience on this.
IOS devices also can be hacked so why losing convenience, my choice will be Android which is more customized and lot cheaper than an IOS device.
I did not heard about IOS device was hacked, Mostly always being hacked are those android device.
If you look at the features of IOS Ill think you will be believe about security on it.

I found out also that have some fake IOS device using some users and that kind of device was easily hacked.

Question is how do you know that things are not getting "hacked" on the other operating system when there isn't enough transparency? Open source matters most to me. If there is another operating system that is more open than Android, I will gladly choose it over android. It good to know exactly what is going on at the root level and how the codes work.
4496  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are crypto casinos/dice houses not caring about multiple accounts. on: December 02, 2019, 04:40:24 PM
Even though I am not regular at casino things, I think multiple accounts would be allowed, as long as you are not using it to cheat the casinos. But if their rules say no to multiple accounts, then the rules have to be obeyed.

I don't see the essence of having multiple accounts in playing casinos, though, if you have many accounts, then you can earn more profits, but the case in casino isn't the same, you will not earn too much from multiple accounts in casino since the chances of winning will not increase if you have many accounts. You can have your funds stored in 1 account because if you have many, then, you need to fund all of it and it costs you more transaction fees.

I was thinking that the real reason for having multiple accounts is to bypass certain restrictions or limits, like betting with yourself, exceeding minimum bets etc.
 Well, I don't really know why having multiple accounts is frowned at. I assumed it is necessary to prevent gamblers from abusing the system and earning more than is allowed.
 
4497  Economy / Economics / Re: Future without Middle men big way, but big Question? on: December 01, 2019, 04:12:42 PM
I guess lack of middle men is one of the reasons transactions are cheaper in Crypto world.
What use are the middle men in your transportation of your customers phone from point A to B when you can use a small drone quickly, efficiently ,cheaply and easily? The quicker mode of transportation or the use of cheaper transactions will benefit the economy aswell. The middle men will also benefit from quicker, cheaper and efficient ways of making things. The long-term benefits of all these is what am not sure of.
4498  Other / Off-topic / Re: What food can you buy with $1 in your place ? on: December 01, 2019, 03:33:29 PM
I want to know in your place the food is cheap or expensive.
With $1 in my place. I can buy 1 plate of food and 1 glass of ice tea.
Maybe someone can have more cheap.

A plate of food is alittle bit above one dollar where I live. It's cheaper in some places though and quite expensive in other places. The big restaurants sell way high(around 3 to 10 dollars) and they can be found mostly in towns and cities. Ironically, most of their foods are not as healthy as foods from small/medium sized restaurants
4499  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: IDAX Crypto Exchange Confirms CEO Dissappearance with Cold Wallet Keys on: December 01, 2019, 03:00:50 PM
Here's the reason we should not store our assets on exchange, like this news

According to the article it could be a type of exit plan.
This can be happened in any exchanges. There are many ways to lose our funds this is the one example.




Quote
This can be happened in any exchanges.

Can it happen on real decentralized exchanges? I don't think so. Or maybe the loss won't be as big or as serious as those of centralized exchanges considering that trading on DEX is peer-to-peer and can be instant.
On proper decentralized exchange, everyone trades from wallets he/she controls. It would be very unattractive to to serious hackers


Sometimes I wonder why exchange CEO have too much Power over people's funds. Why not use multi-signature addresses or something?

OP seems to be basing his ranking on complaints against gambling sites and the problems they have. Well, sounds like a simple way of ranking. I guess the standards will be raised as more effective ranking methods are discovered. If your ranking is totally honest  and effective without abuse, many people will find your site useful.
