4641  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Game-Protect.com did not refund my money and stopped replying to my emails on: November 05, 2019, 05:00:31 AM
at what day and how the scam happened?
Allow me to explain the day when the scam happened and your modus operandi.

On 30/04/2019, you lured h4ns to pay 210 EUR and to participate in your extortion attempt. Ignore the foundation bullshit, and clearly, your strategies were about extortions via article and email (scam #1).

Game Protect via email:
Quote
So first they could ignore, but later decide to get rid of the article.

Too bad, on 30/06/2019, your extortion efforts were not producing any results.

You then asked for more time, and hopefully, they (Betmaster.com) would decide to get rid of the article, bribe you, and you then can give some portion to h4ns.

However, h4ns then realized he was being suckered and decided to post here.

-Fin-

Hmm.. let's see bitcasino.io and sportsbet.io are your next targets, aren't they?


Note (edit):
- Article about betmaster was never produced (scam #2);
- There is no guarantee that the extortion money will be sent to GP clients; and
- h4ns never received the 210 EUR back (scam #3).
- h4ns never received the 450 EUR (lie #4).
- Disguising payments with the term "donation" (scam #5).

Your opinion about developed countries that only take resources from poor countries without really advancing poor countries is the practice of capitalism.
Nope, capitalism is only about private ownership -> seeking profit.
You might be confused with mercantilism -> colonialism/imperialism.

how does capitalism rule the world:
...
There are many social and political problems mashed up together in the term "capitalism."


Source + read more: https://fee.org/articles/if-scandinavia-is-socialist-then-so-is-the-us/

So, the opposite side of Laissez-Faire Capitalism is Pure Communism, where the government controls everything. For me, I'd choose capitalism any day.

However, if you are talking about corrupt governments, in which NOT Laissez-Faire, then you have a point.
4643  Economy / Economics / Re: The Economic Analysis of Demand for Bitcoin on: November 04, 2019, 11:07:06 AM
Okay, it's widely known that Liquidity Preference Theory is a theory that explains why people prefer to hold cash. The problem is, Bitcoin is far from being cash so that this theory might not (all) be useful to explain the demand for Bitcoin.

Transaction motive
Bitcoin cannot be used (at the moment) for purchasing daily goods and services, because of regulation, scalability, etc.

Precautionary Motive
If you get sick, how many hospitals or doctors that accept Bitcoin? How many house or car repair services that accept Bitcoin?

Speculative motive
This one can be used to explain Bitcoin demand at the moment (to some extent). People hold Bitcoin to get quick access to trade altcoins.

Name, business model, logo changes are common in new business. You might want to read about "pivoting."
https://www.google.com/search?q=startup+pivoting

Of course, there are trade-offs (costs-benefits). Usually, pivoting will hurt a business in the short-run but benefit them in the long-run. In EarnBet's case, I'd say it understandable since they want to attract BTC-ers, LTC-ers, etc., and don't want to be associated only with EOS.
4645  Local / Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian) / Re: [MOTIVASI] Beberapa Kata Motivasi Dari Mereka Yang Sudah Sukses !!! on: November 04, 2019, 09:38:21 AM
Setuju dengan agan Husna, kalau sebaiknya kutipan di sini ada kaitan dengan Bitcoin agar threadnya tidak of-topic di SF Indo. Selain itu untuk kutipan yang menggunakan Bahasa Inggris, lebih baik agar disertakan juga kutipan aslinya dalam Bahasa Inggris, karena maknanya bisa berbeda apabila diterjemahkan. Atau lebih baik lagi dijelaskan konteksnya.

Ane ambil contoh kutipan Steve Jobs.

Anda tidak bisa menghubungkan titik ke depan. Anda hanya bisa menghubungkannya ke belakang. Jadi Anda harus percaya bahwa titik-titik itu akan terhubung di kemudian hari

Quote
You can't connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards...You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever - because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path.
Steve Jobs (2005) https://youtu.be/Hd_ptbiPoXM?t=737

Kutipan di atas sebenarnya sangat kuat untuk para entrepreneur karena jalan menuju kesuksesan itu sangat berliku dan membingungkan. Setiap kali agan mendapatkan batu sandungan atau tantangan yang sangat berat, agan harus percaya bahwa hal itu akan menjadi titik atau "checkpoint" yang ceritanya nanti akan "nyambung" ketika agan sudah sukses dan menceritakan pengalaman hidup agan tersebut. Misalnya:

- Kalau bukan karena harta ane habis gara-gara "invest" di shitcoin, ane ga akan membangun bisnis ane sehingga sukses sekarang.
- Kalau ane tidak di-DO dari kampus, ane tidak akan menciptakan Microsoft, Facebook, etc.

Kepercayaan ini akan membuat agan bisa terus memiliki tenaga untuk bekerja mewujudkan mimpi agan.

Penjelasan konteks ini juga penting agar kutipan tidak dicocoklogi untuk hal-hal yang tidak ada kaitannya dengan cerita mereka (pada saat kutipan tersebut muncul).

What the heck is BSOV? Bitcoin Satoshi Original Version? LMAO Grin

I said it many times that Bitcoin IS NOT a deflation based currency:
I don't think Bitcoin is a deflation based currency because you need negative inflation to be called deflation. Bitcoin is a non-debased currency with ~21 million supply. I think it would work since it promotes price stability and economic certainty, similar to the gold-standard era.

Deflation based currency will inevitably fail. People will not trust money that magically disappears from their wallets.

That's a sad view of the world.

Fresh graduate can’t land a job in corporate world, because...
They (fresh graduates) are incompetent or can't stand the fact that they have to build their careers from the very bottom of the hierarchy.

the capitalist want to pass their position to their heirs, and their next heirs and next heirs, fresh graduate have...
Choices to build their own companies, or build their reputation so that the "heirs" acknowledge their skills and then have no choice to offer them positions.

Or stay unemployed.

General Electric used to be the iconic Corp that top students line up to compete for the few top position, now it is delisted from the DJIA index and the scumbags inside the Corp are fighting among themselves for their self-interests, it gave me a unknown pleasure to know that more and more used-to-be the blue chip, the best Corp in the united state the land of freedom, began to crumble one by one
The beauty of capitalism and free market. Inefficient (and obsolete) companies fail because a lot of new companies compete in the same market. They (new companies) have more competitive advantages than the incumbent, e.g., new technologies, new systems, etc.

I should say - I use only my brain - and I have more worry against the change in the climate of our world. Please see the threads in the OP Smiley
Maybe a change in the art of mining a good thing then.
I immediately regret my decision to post on this thread. Since you only use your brain, you don't need discussion.
Mining is working perfectly, as intended. "If you don't believe it or...."

Also, don't worry about climate change Smiley

Eleven years old paper and still relevant. I just quoted it a while ago.
I wonder how many years Satoshi did the research before releasing such a masterpiece. Plus, miraculously, no one could identify Satoshi's real identity.
Let's be honest, when I wrote a paper, my wife know what I'm doing, and she will tell all her friends Grin

Having more than 50% of the hash rate is like being the strongest man alive. It doesn't mean that he will punch you in the face just because he can.

Quote
The incentive may help encourage nodes to stay honest. If a greedy attacker is able to assemble more CPU power than all the honest nodes, he would have to choose between using it to defraud people by stealing back his payments, or using it to generate new coins. He ought to find it more profitable to play by the rules, such rules that favour him with more new coins than everyone else combined, than to undermine the system and the validity of his own wealth.

4652  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best Ethereum-based gambling sites? on: November 02, 2019, 12:41:32 PM
IMO on-chain ETH casinos are crap, mainly because of high tx fees and speed (very slow). Therefore, lots of operators migrate to TRON and EOS for a better user experience. If you only want to bet with ETH, you might want to play at the reputable casinos. AFAIK almost all reputable casinos accept ETH.
4653  Economy / Economics / Re: Economic Incentives for Inflating Cryptocurrency on: November 02, 2019, 12:24:00 PM
If you think 7% is too crazy, try to come up with a rate that you think would work. Smiley

I arrived to a conclusion: a moderately high rate would work. Something between 5-10%. I ended up with 7% because of Rule 72.

IMO you should not determine the "inflation rate" by guessing (including educated guess), especially if the rules are predetermined like Bitcoin. In the real world, central banks didn't set the inflation rate, but they control it with monetary policy, mainly to increase/decrease interest rates. Hence, the increases/decreases in the money supply are the effect, not the cause.

You should read papers about population, interest rate, and inflation.
https://www.google.com/search?q=relationship+population%2C+interest+rate%2C+inflation

Don't get me wrong though, feel free to develop your own system, to be one of the many experiments out there Smiley
4654  Economy / Gambling / Re: MintDice – Bitcoin Casino With Online Slots, Bitcoin Crash & Bitcoin Investment on: November 01, 2019, 04:51:14 PM
How about the kind of "poker" that is similar to slots? I don't know what it called though...

The game was like pull the lever, and you receive five random cards. If the player gets a pair, triple, four a kind, flush, etc., he will get x payouts, just like slot games.

Maybe this way you could attract both slots and poker enthusiast.
4655  Local / Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian) / Re: Pemberian merit pada thread signature, Apakah itu layak? on: November 01, 2019, 03:19:48 PM
Gini gan, ane juga pernah memberi merit pada thread sigcamp yang long term. Kalau gak salah "Mintdice." Alasan ane cukup sederhana. Ane pingin thread yang seperti ini (sigcamp jangka panjang yang jelas bayarannya) lebih banyak bermunculan di bitcointalk.

Lebih banyak thread kampanye yang jelas bayarannya dan pengelolaannya, akan membuat anggota-anggota dalam komunitas menjadi lebih sejahtera, bukan begitu?

Agan ndak perlu khawatir itu akan membuat penilaian manajer menjadi bias karena rata-rata mereka sudah memiliki standar tersendiri mau menerima peserta macam apa. Misalnya punya banyak merit juga percuma kalau agan daftar di kampanye juday, padahal agan aktif cuma di lokal, dsb.

Balik lagi tentang pemberian merit di thread OP sigcamp, meskipun memberi merit itu "bebas," tapi ane dengan sadar merasa itu pilihan yang rasional sebagai insentif untuk membuat lebih banyak thread sigcamp yang bermutu untuk bermunculan di service board.

4657  Economy / Economics / Re: Ushering in a Crypto Golden age for India on: November 01, 2019, 02:57:02 PM
Not sue what is meant by Golden age by the author! It's no golden age, just dark times for crypto communities in India!
Mate, I'm not familiar with the government stance about cryptocurrency in India. Did they neutral, support, or oppose cryptocurrencies?
I heard they wanted to ban cryptocurrencies, but is it legal to invest in BTC, just like investing in commodity futures?

From my observation, a lot of bitcointalk users are from India. It must be demoralizing though?
4658  Economy / Economics / Re: Economic Incentives for Inflating Cryptocurrency on: November 01, 2019, 02:44:35 PM
I'd suggest OP to move this thread to altcoin discussion, except you want to talk about the inflation specifically (not about bitflate).

IMO "inflation-based" cryptocurrency wouldn't work, why? Because it's competing directly with fiat currency. Furthermore, fiat has the ability to change its inflation rate depends on the economic condition freely. As you can tell, a 7% inflation rate also way too high, except you compare it with the Zimbabwe dollar.

Last, if your system only a fork of another system, with a little tweak here and there, I'm pretty sure it will fail.

I'm an economics scholar (and also a tech geek), and this paper https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf brought my attention. It's a true masterpiece.

4660  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BitCoin Cash on: October 31, 2019, 04:49:07 PM
Sorry for the late reply
It's fine, thanks for the reply.

it's about me not completely trusting electron cash's Dev team. Electrum is written by Thomasv, it has been community vetted so many times... Electron cash is a fork of electrum that has been modified. After these modifications, I don't feel it has been reviewed quite that much, so I don't feel secure importing keys or seeds into a wallet I don't fully trust, and keep on using said keys or seeds afterwards.

This is not an accusation tough...
Yeah, it's a legit concern and should clear all the ambiguity from your previous answer, or in other words, it's about Electron Cash "security."
(Not about Electrum export/sweep, assumed that the environment is safe).

It's good to be skeptical in this space.
