I remember seeing some threads pop up in "Services" about "word spinning" services, where someone is hired to use synonyms and similar phrases to rephrase an article and post it on several places, can be different forums. This reduces the chances of being nuked due to direct plagiarism but it is still a type of copy pasting.

I have also seen people do this - convert one article from English(1)>Russian(2)>English(3) and then the end result is that article (1) and (3) are not completely same. Maybe they used more than one machine translation service as well.

Chinese Whispers game anyone?

Anyway IMO it is similar to plagiarism and the user should be given same punishment that a plagiarist would get.

The point is that the majority of the crypto "venturers" are wanna-be get rich quick mentality people. They are not as diligent as traditional traders of wall street and others which is the reason why we see so much FOMO, among other factors.

I consider these crypto lending startups to be what is having a similar outcome of mutual funds though they are completely different things. Mutual funds go to stock, bonds and gold market investments while crypto lending money goes to borrowers who will be going for the crypto market or gambling. Even then, I am more inclined to keep my coins under my control because it is crypto after all, loads of legal gray areas and points that can end up being against in based on your country's legal status of bitcoin.

Reviews are not to be trusted. Every business makes some allocation to social media buzz and they drive these fake reviews. In general a review is always biased, unbiased reviews are very very rare.

That is correctly the reason why the site is unique. On any other crypto casino we have to buy tickets seperately, there is no chance for the "freeloaders" to take part in the draw. This shows that freebitcoin has remained honest to its original branding as a faucet and additionally a dice game which has now incorporated sports as well.

I would consider the lottery draws to be just as random as the 200$ faucet roll. Just do some claims everyday and dont get too stressed out or lose sleep on claiming. You are both the chance to roll that number on faucet and entering the lottery.

To be honest I would agree. It does seem a lot to ask for from posters. A 1hour posting gap is good in my opinion but a 4hour gap means that they would have to wake up in the middle of the night to make a post before posting in the morning.

Again there was a scam accusation against the project posted by another user here against this project. I would suggest bounty hunters to be careful again. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5260728.msg54752751#msg54752751

I know it sounds great to hear but be realistic here fellow member, we wont see big companies accepting bitcoin anytime soon. It will take time and maybe by then Uber wont be there anymore or a new ride sharing system based on cryptocurrency payments may have started giving competition to the mainstream ones.

Currently everyone is obsessed with the pandemic situation and thus thinking in these terms, but we have to understand that this is not a permanent thing, so it should not be the theme here.

Also many drivers come from low income families. It is tough for them to keep their money secure because crypto does need a little to a lot of technical know-how at least in the beginning on how to keep money secure. It would be heartbreaking to see a poor but hardworking driver losing money because of a sophisticated crypto scam.

If what the OP says is not false, they have developed everything successfully. Getting a working CEX and wallet is already a big thing.

Problem is telegram and social media campaigns are bloated with inorganic results. Those 40k+ downloads are actually only 20% or less organic because the people who are getting paid for downloading them are running bots. Thats how unethical the social media "buzz" is and thus cannot be trusted with numbers.

Airdrop campaigns are not useful if you are trying to drive a legitimate project. It is very much the opposite.

On the contrary, OP can post about the project here and its beta/alpha CEX website here? That would start the process of getting some organic signups on it.

It is good that it makes you motivated but it is better if you understand that these rolls are not common and you are only seeing the big wins here. There was probably years of attempts to hit that, even then the chances are small.

There is no guarantee that right after this roll the next one is going to be 10,000 - it is a matter of luck only. I was lucky to win it once upon a time but that does mean everyone is going to win it.

That is however a different thing. The players after winning post here, most of them did not have any bitcointalk account previously. But it is your choice to accept what you wish to think of it.

Even the lottery is not something that you will win everyday. It also depends on your luck. You may buy the lucky number of tickets or just one ticket, the person winning it is random and so the chances are small too, otherwise it would not be a lottery at all.

OP talk about how slots give you small earnings on every other roll and keep you winning - this is a partly false statement. Of course you do win something on every roll a small amount but that is nothing compared to the amount of loss that you incur with every lost bet.

That small amount is only blocking your vision from seeing that you are continuously losing and giving your that implusive pump that you must bet more and more because you are winning (falsely)

Truely speaking, slots is an EV- game just like dice. You may get a lot of sensory overload with the colours, music and lights but these are only distractions to keep from seeing your losses. They are both going to make you lose more than you win if you dont stop at a point of win.

I noticed the spam too, I mean it is obvious not to notice a sudden flood of threads of this certain "cash". Possible that is an organised shilling group using more than one account to post in the forum and generate a fake buzz which is common among altcoin marketing campaigns though considered unethical, but being a forum such ethics are not a thing here.

But is this linked to this one - https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/movocash-inc

I also found this new article which is 2 years old - https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180511005629/en/MovoCash-Launches-New-Service-Converts-Crypto-Cash

OP, a gap between posts is not a bad thing. We have spammers in this forum who tend to burst post that is post at very short intervals. This reduced the amount spreading of posts in between 24hours and probably that is the reason why some bounty managers dont accept burst posters. I know this might seem bad for the hunters but it is done to make sure the signatures get enough views.

If you dont like it, dont participate in it. No use complaining because if it is in the rules you have to follow it or if you are desperate for money you should look for a better job.

It is not a new style, but already an old style, maybe you noticed it late.

The biggest share of bounty hunters have been from third world countries because it is so easy to fool them with a promise of big money and sadly they fall for it too.

Point is that if they dont learn from their mistakes then they are fooling only themselves. I have seen how helplessly they start flooding TG channels and threads about non-payment but they dont ask themselves if the project was legitimate at all.

Of course everyone is drawn to the smell of free money and the prevalence of bounty has reduced. It would better for such users to build up their rank here and take part in other modes of earning than spamming bounties.

Both have their Pros and Cons. Depending on the situation one can be better or worse than the other. The point is that the problem in question is not about UPI, rather it denotes Fiat vs Bitcoin age-old debate.

Still a bit early to say that, but I like your optimism.

But if you have time at hand and thinking of buying a lambo like @webtricks did, you might prefer doing a method that allows unlimited volume of money to be transferred without any hassle.

LN will improve a lot of the merchant acceptance of bitcoin. We will see better and useful changes in bitcoin payment system them. So I am hopeful of it in the future of our economy.

Webtricks buying lambos joke is getting old, isnt it?

Everyone is a stalker deep down isnt it?

There are players on the site who ended up losing but then cursed the site made bad threads saying site is scam for years but then there are people like TheQuin who understood that the site is fair and accepted their losses and moved on with it.

This is called being mature, because the ability to move on and accept mistakes is what makes us bigger what we thought ourselves to be. I am getting pretty philosophical right?

But I appreciate that TheQuin helped wetsuit in keeping everything working and allowing the work to be divided. After all this is the oldest bitcoin "faucet" that is still working as it is supposed to work.

The thing is that even if apps are not trade list, they are what is running the world today. Even new project is developing their own app and marketing it. This generate revenue and this what the smartphone ecosystem is working on.

Banning an app like say facebook would lead to massive amount of loss for the company and its investors. Thus it is a type of diplomatic stance to prevent them from doing what they were doing and making money off it. Now I agree that it does not seem conventional but it is effective. Some countries have done so in past and I appreciate this current stance by the Indian government.

The youth of this country needs to understand what is important to them and not get clogged on social media bullshit.

We can assume that their number is high because whenever we talk about whales are not talking about individual "retail" investors but hedge funds and capital funds. So these can be considered to be a part of the institutions putting their money or out of bitcoin. Proper numbers are to be taken with a grain of salt, how much of it is true is questionable and often politically influenced but they are there, no doubt about it.

Now if they are whales then the investment amount is significant. JP Morgan made Bitcoin purchases and I am sure the rest of the banking sector did too. So it is not something to push under the carpet, they will become significant more with time.

I disagree. The bounty boom was in 2016-17. 2018 was when the price of bitcoin dropped from a non-organic pump in 2017 and thus all altcoins also dropped with it. This dragged the finances of the ICO projects to zero value and revealed the fact that they are nothing but hyped up shitecoins with no intrinsic value of their own. So even if there were some "good" bounties they are worthless now.

Its more like 99% of them. It is better to focus on other ways to earn if you are looking for that. Signature campaigns paying in bitcoin are good but you need to work on your rank to get into one.

I dont like to say that some period is good or bad. It is a part of the cycle. Maybe in future we will see better developments and new types of bounties where spammer and cheating is very low.

I made these type 1 flags here:

Well to be honest, even bitcoin is not that useful is hiding tracks. But is that of concern to the people who are dealing with it in a legally approved fashion? No, the ones who are going to be spooked are the money launderers and straight up criminals who are using bitcoin and/or privacy coins for for wrongdoings.

Whether every and every privacy coin is useful or not is a different question. XVG and PIVX are shitcoins in my view, you all might think different. XMR is still useful but I always prefer bitcoin over anything else because even if it is pseduo-anonymous, I have nothing to hide.

Moreover not every government is going to spend their resources to track down users. They have other work at hand but chances are there if in future bitcoin gains a bigger share of the economy then changes might be seen.

How much do you speculate as "a lot"? It can be 1 or 10 or 1000 or any number. Does not mean that it is significant comparing it to the number of people not inevsting in bitcoin.

What you think is not always correct. Many people hate bitcoin for reasons of their own.

Going with that sense, people have been investing in gold and stocks for years now. Have they become "boring"? Nope, they still are booming. Rather most seasoned traders prefer to stick to their familiar markets instead for their own. Everyday new traders are entering every market trying their luck or skills.

So your idea of "boring" is false here.

You should not give out KYC to an project owner who is developing something new. It can and will lead to identity theft. You are free to do KYC with businesses that you use everyday like a local bank or a local stock exchange broker but definitely not a fund-raised project that is far from being operational.

Everyone is greedy, no doubt about it but the point is that people hide their greed to make it look legitimate till they leave. A good example is the Advisors who join a project, they are just interested in the money they will get with the project's promotion and they have a fixed lock in period after which they will dump the coins and leave.

There are so many reasons why these bounty campaigns have no good effect on the participants and are always a gamble.
