That is true, but you can in some extent disable all this tracking and history settings in your google account and disable all this data collection, so even if your account gets hacked they wont have much information.
I am happy to report that my Google Timeline is completely empty. According to Google, I have never even left my house and I am planning to keep it that way. No movements in my town, I have never travelled anywhere, visited any new cities, and they have no photos to connect me to any destinations. The less they have, the better.

there are complete full offline maps you can use for navigation, OsmAnd or OrganicMaps are Open Source and work offline.
I don't know if they are open or closed-source, but several years ago when I was travelling I used Magic Earth and Maps.me and they also worked offline.

I would like to offer my Avatar and Personal Text space to someone from the community for free. It can't be a casino or other for-profit business.
Preferably, I would like it to be a project that creates some value on the Bitcoin network, but has limited or no funds for advertising. Some developer or his site from the Project Development board maybe.

- No altcoin promotions or sites promoting or developing alternative coins!
- You have to make your own avatar if you want me to wear it.
- I reserve the right to stop the promotion at any time. It's free after all.

Post your suggestions in this thread. No PM begging.

Dang, I made a deposit like 2 minutes before it went down, gotta wait now...
Don't worry about your deposit. Before you started the mixing process, ChipMixer gave you a session token. You can restore your session with this token. I hope you saved it. But the thing is, those session tokens are only valid for 7 days, and after that they expire. They can be extended, but you need access to the site to do that. Since these are extraordinary circumstances (the site being down), I am sure the support can help you here.

@ChipMixer
What happens with a user's deposit if the site doesn't come back online 7 days after the session expires, but he couldn't use the service or extend the session due to the downtime?

You can check Google Maps app, for example. But any other app works, too.
That's not what I meant. That requires me opening the app, activating GPS, and allowing it to track me.

Because the application has to request the location you're at, and can't access the GPS chip directly.
That was kind of my point. It knows where I am if I give it the permissions. If you are travelling and don't know how to get from point A to point B, Google will track your current location and show you where to go. That's ok.

dkbit98 said Google knows my current location and shares it with anyone who asks. I would like to see where this info and location sharing is happening. I am not delusional and know that everything you do on your phone leaves digital evidence and you are tracked through every possible sensor. But if it's that easily accessible, I would like to see it.

Sorry for that, the current minimum withdrawal amount is 0.20mBTC, and the withdrawal fee is 1.00%.
OK, that's what I already have in my table, so there is no need to change anything. I thought things might be different after Bitcoin's price went down.

Regarding my account, I noticed that the site doesn't have a forget password option where you can get a link to reset your password to the registered email. Might be a useful feature to add. To be honest, it's very rare not to have that in today's age. The account obviously has no importance to me, but if some other players lose access to theirs, what are the step to recover them? Can the support do it manually?

This means that the casino takes as a pre -incing option the value of Bitcoin, which makes me think, if the BTC manages to reach about $ 1000, how much is the associated Fee? This reminds me that this type of casino would like the withdrawals that can implement them with the lightning network...
I don't follow the logic. What does supporting lightning payments have to do with Bitcoin's price crashing to $1.000 or even going up to $100.000? The advantage of LN is faster and cheaper small-value transactions (except the channel opening and closing ones). If Bitcoin were to go down to $1000 as in your example, you would need more Bitcoin (satoshis) to get the equivalent of $15 + the fees.

IF i hold coins in my adress nobody knows who I am. If i send only 1 satoshi to an exchange then at least the exchange does know who is the owner of the full balance of the adress and can from this point also track what I do with these coins.
What if you bought that satoshi from me or I deposited it into your exchange address from one of my wallets? What does the exchange know then? Does it believe that you and me are the same person and can they prove it? Maybe we are, maybe we aren't, but that's not the way to prove it. There are still CEXs that don't require KYC up until a certain limit, so the exchange doesn't necessarily know who you are. And if they track me (the person who sent the coins to your account) and manage to discover my identity, they tracked the wrong person. They still need to find out know who you are.

SIM card is automatically sharing your location with all cell towers and authorities can know your exact location at any time, if they want or if they suspect you for anything.
I guess you are talking about cell tower triangulation, right? If it's that, can cell towers really tell the authorities the exact location, or do they create a triangle from where the signal comes from? Depending on where you are and what's the distance between the towers this triangle can be of different sizes and up to several kilometers I assume. That would tell the authorities that the person is somewhere in this 1km radius, for example. Unless they are able to get a precise fix on the phone based on the distances from each and every cell tower in that triangle. Do share more info if you have it.     

Google knows your exact location and they are sharing it with anyone who asks, including any third parties for commercial ads, and most of the people have default settings on their smartphones.
Where do I go to check my exact location? I want to see how accurate it is and if it works even if I haven't given it any permissions.
5009  Economy / Gambling / Re: List Of Crypto Casinos with The Best Faucets on: June 22, 2022, 12:47:39 PM
Just went through this list quickly for a bit of nostalgia Smiley I noticed Bitvest where I still play says that it's only tokens but actually you can also request for BTC from the faucet (at a much lower and less number of times per day).

Also, Freebitco.in where I still play daily, the faucet amount (or freeroll rather as it is) is not actually random, it's a base amount of 0.2 US cents, with increments of x10 up to $200 if you land a lucky random roll.
I will take a look at both suggestions when I update this thread. For some reason I can't access Freebitco.in to check out their FAQ section where it will hopefully be explained. Maybe they restrict access for some VPN providers. 
5010  Economy / Gambling / Re: [Table] Withdrawal Fees and Withdrawal Amounts on Crypto Casinos on: June 22, 2022, 11:30:18 AM
Also I am going to check out and leave some feedback in the faucet thread, I didn't know these existed!
Sure, feel free to share some feedback. That one needs to be updated as well and I am going to get on that when I am done with this one.

Hey @Pmalek, I forgot to update that 500 Casino has introduced more altcoins; USDT, SOL, ADA, AVAX, BNB, DOGE, MATIC and TRX
Great, good to know. Thanks for the hint. I have not gotten to 500 Casino yet, but when I do I will add the new cryptocurrencies to the table.
5011  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: [LIST] Open Source Hardware Wallets on: June 22, 2022, 11:25:24 AM
hello,

just considering to buy Tangem, but i saw that is not very popular here despite has all the specs considered safe as open source, EAL6+ etc...
guessing why
Tangem is a crypto card, so it's not a hardware wallet.

The Tangem is closed-source as far as I know. The product uses an open-source secure element according to dkbit98's description in Secure Element in Hardware Wallets.
However, the Android and iOS apps are closed-source according to Wallet Scrutiny:

Thanks for taking the time to check it out with their live support.
I have updated the numbers in the table to $15 equivalent in BTC plus an additional 0.00007 BTC, which represents the withdrawal fees. If they make another change sometimes in the future, it's easy to update it once I make my rounds around the casinos.

Hi DomingoX6,

I created a dummy account to get some info from your casino for one of my Bitcointalk threads and I can't access my account anymore. I want to know your current min. BTC withdrawal amount and withdrawal fees?
Your FAQ page says that the minimum withdrawal is $1 and the cashout fees are 1.00% + $0.00? What does $0.00 mean and why is it even there if it's 0?

Can you confirm if these numbers are correct or are they outdated?
5014  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Nano S Plus on: June 21, 2022, 04:42:17 PM
More of that, it said that 2.43.1 version is available but the latest release  on   the official github is 2.42.0. Why?
Forget about that GitHub repository. It will no longer be updated with release notes for the never versions. SFR10 already mentioned the new one. 2.43.1 is the newest Ledger Live version for desktop. You can see that on the official desktop download page of Ledger Live > https://www.ledger.com/ledger-live/download#download-device-1.
5015  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Firmware Upgrades for Hardware wallets their weakness? on: June 21, 2022, 04:27:07 PM
<Snip>
I don't think the chances of bricking your device during a firmware upgrade are that big to warrant having a second device that you would use only when you are making firmware upgrades on the main one. But that doesn't mean that having two is a bad idea for other purposes. People often forget that customers only complain and become vocal when they are unsatisfied, angry, and disappointed. Ledger has sold millions of hardware wallets. I think I remember sources talking about 3-4 millions. Even if you find 100 complaints right now where customers talk about bricking their hardware during a firmware upgrade, that's like 0.003% from 3 million. Even if it's 1000 or 2000, it's still insignificant. You aren't going to see 3 million people write: I performed the upgrade, everything was perfect! Most people don't do that, and that's why there is so much focus on the negative side of things.   

But if something like that happened to you, Ledger will replace your device for free even if it's no longer under warranty. There are documented cases of that even on this forum. I think the last one I read was from Maus0728 who said in one of his posts that his device got replaced with expired warranty. Their support personnel also confirmed this to me when I performed experiments and contacted them with various fake tickets to see how they handle user complaints.

I understood more that he wanted to communicate with the owners of blogs or similar sites, in order to share experiences.
That's what I think as well so I gave him lists with loads of crypto news sites. Each respectable site has a contact form, email, or social media account where you can contact the owners, marketing team, or the writers directly and propose whatever you want.

He also mentioned in the end of his OP that "we could also help each other grow". To me, that sounds like mutual promotion of each other's sites, maybe banners, backlinks, etc.

Ne znam kako drugima, ali meni se electrum wallet baš ''zamjerio'' i više ga ne koristim.
Kao wallet mi je bio ok, i dosta funkcionalan i jednostavan za korištenje ali problem su bili njegovi update-i.
Nakon zadnjeg update-a jednostavno više nisam mogao pokrenuti tu aplikaciju na svom računalu.
Nisam imao tih problema. Koji OS koristiš? Ako je Windows, da nije Windows 7 ili 8? Nije pomoglo ni poslje reinstalacije?

Evo electrum sam neki dan updatirao nakon dugog razdoblja jer mi je trebao za multisig pa da nam izgleda slično a ne da pogađam di je šta, prije toga sam bio na 3.2x.
Mislim da te starije verzije ne mogu uopšte da se konektuju na Electrum servere zbog onih phishing poruka koje je bilo moguće slati prije. Sve verzije starije od 3.3.4 su bile ranjive na te poruke koje obavještavaju korisnike da trebaju da urade update i šalju im linkove za lažni softver.

Je ako vjeruješ firmi koja radi softver 100% da neće nešto zeznuti, bili namjerno ili slučajno. Ja nikada ne bi instalirao update prvi dan kada izađe osim ako ne krpa neki stvarno kritični propust.
Isto je i sa mnom. Bar 15-20 dana gledam da prođe u slučaju da update napravi neke probleme koji će se onda u narednoj verziji ispeglati.

As a result, I am stupid enough to click the fake PDF malware and ended up getting drained the next day with 3 of my Metamask and Trust Wallets with a combined amount of more than $12,000. Yes I was so complacent that day even if I am already experienced and I've got nothing to do but learn my lessons.
I am sorry to hear that. Seems like you downloaded and opened a malicious attachment sent to you over email as a PDF or how did you get infected? I treat everything I receive over email as scam and malicious. It's better than randomly opening things you think are safe. I have even found myself in situations where friends asked me did you see that email I sent you last week? I am like, why are you sending me emails? You have me on social media and you can contact me over the phone. I just move them to the trashcan.

Hi FlushCasino,

I have a question about your minimum withdrawal amounts and fees.
In the past, a player had to withdraw a minimum sum of $20 in Bitcoin + an additional 0.00008 BTC for the withdrawal fees. But I checked your casino last night and today, and it seems to me that you made some changes in this regard. It looks like the minimum withdrawable BTC amount is now equivalent to $16-17. Can you shed some more light on this? While you are at it, let me know if you are also charging the players any withdrawal fees and who pays for the transaction/mining fees?   
5020  Economy / Gambling / Re: [Table] Withdrawal Fees and Withdrawal Amounts on Crypto Casinos on: June 21, 2022, 08:46:50 AM
I still don't know why a casino would decided to close for no good reason and asked their costumers to come and take their fund because the closure.
Businesses and companies close all the time. Casinos aren't any different. There are hundreds of them around and competition is huge. It might not be profitable for them anymore to keep going.

I noticed that the price are already updated with the current market price.
I am not so sure about that. The withdrawal amount has been changed again and this time it's 0.00077814 BTC. Again, that's the equivalent of $16-17 and not $20 like it was in the past. I will see if I can get some answers from their ANN thread.   

However, I believe you forgot to change your update date.
It says - *Last updated on 03 March 2022
I wanted to leave that for now and do it in the end after all the casinos have been checked and the numbers corrected.
