Sounds like a bad Eminem song from back in the late 90's - early 2000's. Don't think this would make anyone get into Bitcoin.
4542  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Pokemon Go type of game that pays people bitcoins on: July 15, 2016, 11:23:42 AM
What if there was an app type of game where instead of just getting points for going places and killing monsters, you go to places to kill monsters and get bitcoins?

But the "monsters" and locations would be different based upon your demographic/interests. And people could incentivize a certain type of person to go to certain locations.

The app could also access your personal information such as age, gender, hobbies, finances, etc.

Imagine you're a Jeep dealership and you're having a huge Jeep sale. You drop some bitcoins right smack dab in middle of your dealership and let the app summon 20-40 year olds that are into outdoors/Jeeps.

Or a nightclub instead of ladies night putting some bitcoins inside the club to attract 21-25 y/o females. Even some rich guy could drop some near him to get the ladies to come over.

A strip club that puts some bitcoins attracting males with good finances to come in.

There could be some sort of beacon that draws people toward the place which might be brighter for more bitcoins, beep faster as you get closer. Maybe have it take a little while to "mine" the bitcoins in the location so you're apt to stick around a bit (and do some shopping/browsing).

I think this isn't a bad idea.  People love free money.  In order for it to become actually viable with the types of people you're talking about (clubs, dealerships, people selling things) then bitcoin would have to become a large bit more popular and accessible.  As easy and fun as bitcoin actually is, a lot of people still just consider it "for hackers".  Nevertheless, I think your idea isn't too bad.
If you look at it the other way, then I would say that a game like this could probably get more people into Bitcoin. If you manage to make the game itself fun, it's not like it's extremely hard to get into Bitcoin.

It's definitely one of the more well known names in bitcoin gambling, but I've personally never played on their website.
And also very trusted, if you check out reviews and their thread on the forum.
4544  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The higher roller . on: July 15, 2016, 11:18:22 AM
I would need to see some data on the subject to come to a conclusion.
But I would guess that Bitcoin gambling is still way less popular than traditional gambling in casino's, thus there being less high rollers in online Bitcoin gambling.
4545  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: John McAfee will start BTC Mining on: July 15, 2016, 11:16:17 AM
He should have gotten into it sooner, not right after the halving.
It still might do some good in convincing other people to start up large scale mining, but only if he's successful..
4546  Other / Off-topic / Re: What is Max amount of btc once you own? on: July 14, 2016, 10:50:17 PM
At one point in time, I had like 10 - 15 Bitcoins and spent most of these on various items, like a new phone etc. back when the price was around $1000.
Bought all of these items with Bitcoin of course Wink

Now is probably the time to start saving again for the next bubble.
4547  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The best way to quit gambling for good on: July 14, 2016, 10:47:35 PM
I saw many people suggesting to gambler that bet huge amount and need help to stop gambling, what they suggest is limit his own bankroll and reduce the amount over period of times, this method will not work seriously. Because of human mentality, casino win on human mentality vs players. Reason is when player win, they feel money is so easy to get and they want to win more, and when they start to lose, they start to bet more and want to recover back their losses.

I will explain below:

once you deposit and loses money, you will have the mentality to deposit more and think of recovering your losses, at this point of time, you already don't want to win profit anymore. you target is just to recover your losses, and you tell yourself too when if I recover all my losses back, I will stop.

But at this point of time, you start to lose more and more, the more you deposit, the more you lose. At this point, devil already control you, you will see nothing beside anger and desperation.

Just ask yourself honestly, how many times have you met with the scenario I describe above, I cannot change human mind, every person have their own thinking, but I wish if anyone read my post, go think of it calmly and if you get what I mean, just quit gambling for good, life is not all about gambling, stop sitting in front of the PC and thinking money will drop from the sky. There is no free lunch in the world, get a stable job, lead a normal and happy life, enjoying good food or even holiday with your hard earn money is even better.

To quit gambling for good is don't deposit even $1 at all, just play with free faucet for fun and and find something else to do other than gambling. Maybe meet up your friends for dinner or movies or playing PC games is another good way.
If you're addicted then this is usually the only way. It's most likely easier to stay away from depositing in the first place than it is to set limits and gamble 'a little bit'.
You'll only end up fooling yourself and you won't be able to control your behaviour.

I am really bad in managing my money i also wanted to ask that question here and to get some advice.Got to know some different ideas.I am bad in it because i gamble and when i loose its disturbs my all management of money
I think that's more of a gambling issue that you have, as opposed to a money management issue.
You should quit gqmbling first and then think about managing your money.
4549  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: A WORLD WITHOUT CREDIT on: July 14, 2016, 10:29:36 PM
The biggest problem with this will be finding people who are willing to fund projects.
Since you're basically asking them to fund people's dreams without getting anything in return.

Besides, how do people know that the person asking for money is not just making up a story?

Your previous answer didn't mention anything to overcome this...
4550  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin in everyday life on: July 14, 2016, 10:22:15 PM
I really could see Bitcoin being accepted at more brick and mortar stores. It would be pretty easy to just pay for your purchase using a wallet on your phone.
AFAIK it's possible to pay with your phone in McDonalds in my country, through another service called SEQR.

I wouldn't be surprised if they also added Bitcoin, one day..
4551  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin getting in to economic crisis on: July 14, 2016, 10:16:51 PM
we've heard a bunch of times about fiat money and escalating problems. any reason for bitcoin to decline rapidly and all the online wallets closing down how will everyone fear the loss of bitcoins. It can happen because its the problem with real money its causing bitcoin to get blocked halfway.
I would think that just the opposite of what you're saying would happen. People would be attracted to Bitcoin because of the economic crisis, and Bitcoin could be an alternative to gold and silver for the more tech savvy people out there.

This is already happening on a small scale.
4552  Economy / Economics / Re: We must build a new exchange rate system on: July 14, 2016, 10:14:06 PM
It's all about supply and demand, there is just not enough interest in Bitcoin yet for that to happen. You can't just 'decide' that the price should be X amount of dollars per Bitcoin...
Just basic economics....
4553  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why fool yourself ? on: July 14, 2016, 10:10:31 PM
Why do people fool themselves when they gamble ? I hear many people many times say you should roll lots of 98% or 90% or whatever odds on dice.

That's a bad idea and way less profitable so why do people fool themselves into thinking its better to bet low odds.

Of you roll 50% or 5 rolls at 90% some people will tell you to do the 90% one. The chance is the same actually. You actually lose half your profit rolling at 90%

5rolls of 90% = 50% profit.

1 roll at 50% = 100% profit.

Ita basic maths people....
because people thought betting for small odds it would be more save than betting on high odds but i personally won't do that because it's just only wasting my time also gambling are based from our luck even though you start it from small odds but doesn't mean will automatically get profit and if you aren't lucky you will lost all your money even you start it from small odds
I would think that by doing so, you would just increase the chances of becoming addicted, since you're trying to maximize your play-time and taking more risks by doing so.
But then again, some people just want to have fun for a bit longer than just making 1 bet, and can do so without getting addicted.
4554  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: MY gambling strategy to limit loss and make btc on: July 14, 2016, 10:07:07 PM
But what would you do if you never get to that 0.001 win? Deposit again or just quit?
Must probably happen sometimes and you'd lose your previous winnings if that happens too often.
4555  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: reasons to buy from individual? on: July 14, 2016, 09:57:08 PM
It could be more anonymous if you buy from a forum member and possibly even faster than most exchanges if you pick the right seller.
It's riskier however, but you should be fine if you trade with someone who's trustable.
4556  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Richbucket.com looking for advise! on: July 14, 2016, 09:54:20 PM
You just need some more promotion, start by doing a giveaway on this forum in the Games&Rounds section.
Or start a signature campaign and keep the funding for that in escrow.
4557  Other / Off-topic / Re: Save you Bitcoin for your (grand) child / children? on: July 14, 2016, 09:51:35 PM
Given that I don't even have children, it's pretty hard to imagine setting up a saving account for them :p
I do have some personal paper wallets that I'm saving for retirement...
4558  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mark Karpeles on bail on: July 14, 2016, 09:49:20 PM
Can't believe that he's out already after committing fraud on such a large scale.
Still seems like yesterday when I first heard the news of him being arrested.
4559  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: I wanna invest on genesis-mining. Is it a good idea ? on: July 14, 2016, 05:27:32 PM
My earnings went down significantly after the halving, so I don't really think it's a good idea to invest, unless the price rapidly rises again.
That said, they're one of the most transparant cloud mining providers out there, so chances of them scamming you are pretty low.
4560  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I have a huge gambling problem, any advice on overcoming? on: July 14, 2016, 05:24:36 PM
I suggest you have a trusted relative hold your btc.

I suggest you contact Gamblers Anonymous.

I would offer more advice but the key for you is to have your funds frozen/held for you for a while.

Then attend a few meetings with GA and possibly go to a doctor to help prevent your addictive habits.


Hint look at my profile  I have 17,000 posts  most were done to help people.  And they help me not be tooo crazy with my demons.

I have done more then 25,000 posts online  since 2003  much better then getting high or gambling.

This is the best advice on here.

You definitely need someone to help you store your funds, maybe your partner or parents? I know it will be hard, but you need to at least tell someone you trust about this problem.
I can't stress enough how important it is to contact a doctor or a psychiatrist and start treatment asap. It's not too late, but you need to take action before it completely destroys your life.
Remember that you could lose everything if you don't stop, you don't want to have to loan money and end up in serious debt.
