Personally I prefer the self verification of the rolls over the auto verification of moneypots provably fair system. But maybe that because I'm more developer focused than others and I like to do things myself.  Both seem to be very reputable places, I have used both and have no complaints about either.

Self profit comes from proprietary gains. When you release your stuff as open source you give away the chance to have proprietary software and thus the profit.
I don't believe the argument that blockstream is looking for profit when they stay with core development.

Cultural effect of ad revenue? Are somehow indicating that someone collecting ad revenue from google will degrade their culture or become an unproductive citizen in their town simply because they earn income from online ads?

I've wondered the same and will look forward to seeing some answers.
One of thoughts I had is it could be people that keep money in their 401ks that are affected by the market could pull it out and put it into bitcoin? That seems like a longshot though since they would have to pay the penalties to withdraw, and bitcoin is not guaranteed to go up.
Or could it be the idea of a market crash could severely hurt the value of the US dollar so people will move to bitcoin?

Max is a lunatic and a scammer.
Hey!! Has anyone ever thought about Max and Garza teaming up? That could make a mega scam together! 

Correct, the input_address parameter is automatically provided with blockchain.info's callback as a GET.

So you can use that input address to run a database query and see who that address belongs to.
Something like   SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE depositaddress = '$input_address'

Yes that would work and that's how a lot of sites that accept bitcoin as payments online track orders. Generate a new deposit address for each user then you are easily able to tell who sent in the funds. The above would work by asking them for their receiving address and then assigning it to a unique deposit address. That way you will know what address to send the funds back to. 

I'm terrible at trading, the market always moves the opposite of my positions.
With that being said, I just placed a margin long position that I plan to hold for at least a week. In other words we should crash big time  

Great list! I've went through 30 of them and they are all working so far, which is always a good sign!
Please consider adding my custom built faucet http://coinables.website/faucetbox  300 satoshis every 30 minutes plus a fully functional provably fair dice game. No registration!  All the other faucets look the same, try something new 

It's not easy to write secure software, it could just be poorly written.
When I wrote my dice script I had it running for a few weeks before an attacker found a way to exploit and empty my wallet.
So I had to figure out what they did to exploit it and then patch it. Then a week later another exploit, so I had to rework the whole thing again. It's been running solid now for about 3 weeks so I think I've patched all the previous security holes. Only time will tell though. It takes a lot of time and effort to write a secure script since there are so many tools attackers can use today against your site. At least when you do it yourself you only have yourself to blame and you don't have to worry about backdoors.
Good luck OP, I hope you figure out what happened and re-coup your losses.

 
That post is funny because it sounds like it could be true. They are so strict with AML since they want to stay legit with the government.

Hardly any faucets are on-chain faucets anymore. Most of them use xapo or faucetbox now. Yes there are still some faucets that will send payouts once a week using one transaction with a couple inputs and then sending to hundreds of outputs creating dust, but most faucet owners are switching to off-chain solutions these days.

This is pretty simple to do with all the different API's available today from chain.com, to blockcypher to block.io, and coinbase, bitpay and blockchain.info. Many options available. You should post more specifics on your project and a ballpark range of how much you are willing to pay.

Amph is right. Coinbase makes their money through fees. Also you'll notice their buy price is always a couple dollars higher than all the exchanges, so if you buy BTC from them you are paying over the current market rate.

Correct me if I'm wrong but only big miners or solo miners get a say in this vote. If you mine in a pool like many people do, you are not running a full node so you don't get a vote.

Hey all,
  Have you ever been playing on one of those popular dice sites and used the faucet? It's pretty neat that they let you play for free, however you can't cashout your winnings unless you 5000x the faucet amount.

I'm a developer and that's why I created faucet+dice. It's a full provably fair dice game with a faucet. Once you login with your BTC address you can either immediately cashout the faucet amount of 300 satoshi OR you can play dice and cashout when you are done. Cashouts are paid via faucetbox which is how I'm able to send as little as 1 satoshi.

So next time you are out of BTC and still want to play dice, don't waste your time trying 5000x your balance, instead just play faucet+dice and cashout whenever you want!

Faucets are a good time killer for those that are looking for some extra bitcoin.
Signature campaigns are better methods for extra BTC if you have SR member or higher rank.

But there are also games you can play that pay out via faucets, so it's not just all captcha entering.

For example have you ever played primedice and used their faucet? It's pretty cool except you can't cashout unless you 5000X the faucet amount.
DISCLAIMER: SELF PROMOTION: That's why I created faucet+dice. It's a full provably fair dice game you can play that has no minimum cashout amount since it pays out via faucetbox. So you can immediately withdraw and just use it like a faucet or you can play dice and withdraw when you're done.

IF, and that's a big if, banks are able to hijack bitcoin and ruin it they can not un-invent cryptocurrency. People would just migrate to an altcoin. There are too many practical applications to be able to send money from person A to person B without all the fees and privacy invasion. Crypto will win, everytime.

The issue I see with this is that faucets NEED referrals to thrive. Getting users to spread your faucet link on their rotators is what drives the traffic. With no referral payouts the faucet owner will only have direct links, and very limited traffic. HOWEVER, the user doesn't have to pay out a single satoshi so they have nothing to lose. It will just take them a long time to reach that adsense income threshold. Still very cool hack off of the moneypot API, and the users can use those funds to play moneypot games.

I was looking up some forex tech analysis stuff today and came across this.

What do you think about the doji hammer on bitstamp for the 1 week and 3 day charts?
