5681  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to spot a scam ? on: July 09, 2018, 05:44:14 PM
How do you guys spot scam betting sites ? Which are the red flags with those kind of sites and do you believe the rating/review sites or they are mainly paid like the ICO review sites ?

There are two kinds of scam gambling sites for me, the first one is the tricky one and the other one is the trying hard one, so what's the difference between those two? here it goes. The tricky one is that it is just the same gambling site to a legit one, you'll not notice that it is just a scam if you are just a naive person who is playing gambling on random gambling sites but if you are going to inspect the whole gambling site you'll notice that "Oh wait this is just a scam" while the other one is that you could easily notice that something was off already, misspelled words, the site is a complete trash, and the whole site is just trashy.

Don't forget the third type which is a well made scam. Creators of these sites put a lot of money and effort into the site, have campaigns, people hired to promote them, a professional team. They usually even start as a legit site but then modify something to start scamming people or disappear just like that. It's almost impossible to avoid them.
But don't worry, they are rare.

Exactly. The cases you've mentioned are so rare that they are not worth even mentioning. With that kind of logic you can end up trusting nobody, even with great reputation. It's enough to avoid sites with bad reviews or without any reviews at all. No need in poisoning your life with ungrounded suspicions.

I personally trust reviews and ratings on the Internet although I'm aware that some of them can be fake. I think it depends on how good you are in using Google in general.
They do say searching up on Google is pretty basic but doing it actually would really be tough yet choices would still always vary on your decisions in the end basing on your analysis and to that kind of logic that had been mentioned where you do already come to a point that even reputable or good ones you do still able having the suspicion you would really be just like on a man that trust no one.Sometimes it do good things but applying it strictly would still have negative effects just like missing out on good opportunities.
5682  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Does signature campaign really help to promote an ICO ? on: July 09, 2018, 04:52:23 PM
I know signature campagns exists on this forum for very log time . I was wondering , do they really help to promote ICO , i know they spend a lot of money to pay bitcointalk members to wear their singatures and make posts . Do they really make profit out of this ?
If people are going to invest on such project, developers are scattering these advertise everywhere on the internet so it does really help them to gather more people that's interested in their projects. You will see to their websites the different platform that they were using to make contact to almost everyone not just in here but also on the other.

And also if you are the developer you really should have a financial support to continue your project, it is not just a small projects that wants to get some attention so they can easily gain some investors. It is a paid project to secure the success of their campaign.
Security or assurance is somehow lit into this part and its not a guaranteed thing of success even if you do have the big amount of budget on marketing but somehow its always an advantage where you can able to scatter out regarding on your site and do give chances to accumulate or convince potential investors. If you are a developer and do see the generousity when it comes to marketing and some people do have this kind of basis where the team is capable enough when it comes to finances.

Just wanted to create a thread on this and if anyone has heard from reliable sources of well known people recently expressing interest in cryptocurrency.

The well know star Akon is going to launch his own coin this year.
He'll be issuing an ICO to fund his project to finance infrastructure in Africa.
Guess the name of coin?
AKoin Cheesy

AKoin omgg hahahahaha, I like that. Also some good public awareness and a great thing for him to do it in Africa, any economic advancement would be great over there
But the question is that this project would able to follow its true motive when they do already accumulate support funds or get investors? Chances would be still on 50-50 and just like other projects it do succeed on ico but later on they do already forgot on what they do propose or promised.
Seeing or following coins or projects endorsed by any famous celebrity wont really be ideal.
5684  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why Do People Dump Their Precious Tokens With Ridiculous Low Price on: July 05, 2018, 08:13:25 PM
As a natural deal in the market, sellers always want to sell high and buyers always want to buy low. But the reverse seem the case with those sellers who dump their Crypto coin or tokens for some very low and ridiculous price. Thus that's not a natural market deal. What really is the reason why people dump? Have they got enough crypto gains that they need no profits no more?

The answer is simple the precious token might not be as precious as you think it is. People achieve closure at different point of their activities and what is precious to Mr A is not precious to Mr B. Aside from those who really spend money to buy the token and the developer that kept some for themselves, who are still expected to exercise to exercise some restraint in dumping, every other category didn't really believe in the project. Signature campaigners, blog campaigners, Twitter/Facebook posters, article publicist, translations bounty, bug bounty, developer bounty, airdrop and a host of other "free" inflow, just worked for their time and energy so the issue of it being precious was never in the picture to influence their decisions.
Or just simply for those people who didn't pull out money on their wallets wont really be keen or serious on trying to see out the true potential of the coin or project they do advertise or promote. The thing in mind is mostly concern with the possible profits or payout on the things they had done. Insights would always vary on each person because there still some people engage on bounties do keep out their tokens because they do believe on it but this is not always the case.
5685  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Addiction Stories! on: July 05, 2018, 07:14:06 PM
Im not a gambling addict but i know some and it didnt make anything good to them. One person i know becomes addict on the game called cock fighting that is a popular gambling here in my country. He works abroad and comes back here once a year and yes, he has plenty of money to gamble with. He really likes to gamble.He even get prison on the country hes working for because of addiction. I dont have any news about him after that.
Truthfully, it has not, except if we want to lie to ourselves. Although, the whole addiction did not just start in a day as so many people just get so greedy at some point and then they just kept looking for things in the spot where they obviously cannot find it.

So many people though gamble for different reasons, but the best way is to see it as fun and see how much you are gambling with as what you are paying for the fun but the chances of winning something from it is possible. If most gamblers can think it that way, I feel things would be a lot better than it is today.
There are many gambling stories related to my neighbors and friends. Recently one of my friends was gambling in a place and the police raid that place and arrest some gamblers on the spot and some ran away. They are now wanted and the police issued a warrant against them. I was thinking that this is the result of gambling. Loss of money and respect as well.  

This is not always a result when it comes to gambling because when theres already an authority involved then most likely they do arrest the owner of the said gambling place where they do operate without any license or illegally which its normal for government to do such act and for those gamblers had been caught out then they might be used as a witness or any other purpose but playing gambling itself isn't an illegal thing unless if your country prohibits gambling then you are definitely going to prison because of violation.
5686  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Do you really care if your data is exploited?? on: July 05, 2018, 06:09:12 PM
I recently stumbled upon a project called Algebraix and they brought up some really good points about data exploitation on their blog (https://medium.com/algebraix-data). So it brought me to ask the question: do we really care if our data is exploited?

With huge scandals like Facebook and Cambridge Analytica, this issue is brought into the lime light. I'm really curious if you guys care or not
Yes I care! I’m not the type of person that jokes with information about myself or things that has to do with my personal life. It is very important to keep everything safe, you never know where your problem might come from. Giving out information that is meant to be kept secret can definitely land you in trouble that you will regret one day.

Sometimes they can use all thee information you gave to them to track you. Some of them also sell out your information to other bad websites that will end up spamming your email. It’s very risky, so don’t get out information to anyone.
These are the risk involve if we do carelessly give out our personal info floating into the internet. It can be used into other purposes which would monetize your info and sell out into other parties.Some people doesn't care about their personal informations but most of us would really care about this matter.No person would like for someone to use up their identity but I believe even just on real world we are already giving out our personal informations like fill-uping about ourselves is already considered.
5687  Other / Archival / Re: Unpaid Bounty Effort on: July 05, 2018, 04:47:02 PM
Thank you for the fact that you wrote a list of campaigns, I recently also get a lot of scam. I have not yet learned to distinguish it from real projects.
Its hard to know the real one because scam ICO's are also improving their marketing strategy so they can raise funds in short term. I don't have any bounty token right now but I'm still working with some bounty right now and I hope its worth it.


You can spot a scam by looking at how much efforts they spend on making their whitepaper and roadmap.
Probably how they do marketting their project too.  Roll Eyes
No, this is not always the case because scammers are already wise nowadays where they do make effort or serious on making their whitepaper and roadmap to be realistic since they do know that most investors would probably hooked up with a well written or planned white paper because if they would just not pay attention then investors would most likely have less interest. They do make their hands dirty a little bit for them to scam of.

I have been doing bounties for some time and I have encountered some bounty effort that are not paid for. 

1. Hashcard - scam exit
2. Blackfolio - did not reach softcap
3. BCharity - did not reach softcap
4. Safein - project is cancelled
5. Impressio - scam exit
6. Root blockchain - didn't get enough private investors

I learned a lesson here.  I have to be more selective in the future in choosing bounties, as much as choosing an ICO to invest. 

Do you have any similar experience?  Please share so that others may learn.


I put a lot in safein,  but was surprised to receive a mail that day canceling their ico,
Nothing is as painful as believing in a project and see that project exit scam or suspended.

The best thing is to always scout out projects before participating in there campaigns.
Sad to hear out but most of projects do make a refund when the campaign is cancelled due to various reasons. Have you get your investment back?
5688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Addiction Stories! on: July 05, 2018, 07:42:05 AM
I was out of gambling for a while because of my emotional gambling nature.
I try to do sports betting as mathematical as possible but often I get overwhelmed by loss.
I had decided not to bet above $100 on any bet.
Germany being my favorite team, I put a $500 bet against Mexico, which I lost.
That increased my frustration and I came to bet $1000 on portugal. And to my luck I won it at 1.65 odds.
But if I would have lost, I would have been cashless and betless for the rest of world cup.


You should feel lucky that you where able to recover the lost amount and made some profit out of it. Now do not spend those whole amount on betting unless you have extra money and can afford to lose it. Just if you cannot control yourself only play with those extra profit.


We know that everything here is up to the experience and your luck and besides it other managements are also contributing for your survival but winning of game is just depending upon the experience and luck. If a person is not doing well then he should stand away from the table for some time and should think how things work and after getting some experience his winning chances will increase.


The worst thing about gambling is it is all based on luck. You can’t just make anything good in a day when you’re not luck. Then why to adopt something that is all pledged over luck. Better is to understand this fact and quit gambling because if this isn’t your lucky day today, you are up to see a big loss coming towards you. So choice is all yours. Either to go for loss or for some profit in trading.
Why we do lose even more? because we do force ourselves to believe in our luck on a particular day or time even though we are already losing we are just still hoping to comeback to profits or even break even.This is always been a bad part of us as a gambler and to avoid we should know how to control our emotions and aims towards it because if none then most likely we would end up into this kind of scenario.
5689  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Gate.io now requires KYC? on: July 05, 2018, 06:47:17 AM
Automatic KYC with facial recognition & ID scanning technology, passport in 3 seconds
For withdrawal in verifying status, you must go through KYC2 first.
You can access your account, then click Wallet> KYC to upload your photo card and the required information.
After completing KYC1, you can proceed through KYC2.
When you complete KYC2, your withdrawal will take place immediately.
If you have completed KYC2, your withdrawal will run smoothly

I am aware of the process. I am just not aware that KYC is needed before withrawal because I once used gate.io before and there was no KYC POLICY. My friend just also withdraw from gate just a few weeks ago without KYC. Are expired passports allowed?
In any KYC verifications expired documents or id's wont really be valid in all sorts.I was even shocked that they do already required KYC when you do ask for withdrawal and you are right they didnt even give out an announcement or just an email regarding on such new requirement but hence inspite of lacking passport since i was still not able to process that passport because it isnt necessary the method above me do works and been approved. Drivers license would do and tell them about your situation. The thing i do love is that they do verified fast.
5690  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018/07/03]Japanese Financial Services Change Crypto Exchange Regulations on: July 04, 2018, 07:52:54 PM
The self-regulatory exchange body aims to better align with existing anti-money laundering (AML) regulations, and will also prohibit the trading of anonymity-based cryptocurrencies like Monero and Zcash.


Common words and such regulations will always really be implemented. Always do aim for customers protection which is a good thing.
What they do actually need to changed up? since on the beginning they do already concern on users protection and now they are already excluding Monero and Zcash on the list.Well that's a little bit expected due to anonymity features of those coins but in general speaking adoption will always be an advantage but expect on such control.

this is my favorite casino game i don't understand why i can't find any site with it that's not restricted.


if anyone knows a site please share.
betcoin.tm has it but i didn't like theirs too laggy, low payouts and i don't trust them
Simple! Community isnt too interested on that game even myself do have some favorite games but it isnt available online. Ive seen some of them tried out some games but do still failed because theres no soo much players who do engage with it.This is why im not surprised on the absence of those particular games. When we do tried to look at on the gambling market Dice games are the most common.
5692  Economy / Securities / Re: Suggest me your opinion on: July 03, 2018, 10:42:30 PM
I want to invest some money. Is that right time for invest? where i need to invest this time?
Altcoin
BTC
 
As for me the best time to invest when you have money to invest and desire to get profit.
I reccomend you to look at the ICO EON. It is really perspective company that soon will have a good profit)

Everybody has a desire to earn profit. It is the risk that somebody is willing to take in crypto as it is the most volatile market and we have seen in last 7-8 months how market has fallen from 18k to 6k and it is also a patience to hold the coins till it reach the 18k back or more.

Not all do have that kind of patience that we do commonly talk on. Most of us do really like to see profits on a short time frame. For those new investors who are already aware on the previous scenario that happened into bitcoins price or any other altcoins in the market then this would mark out into their minds on how risky this kind of investment and thats why its being advised for a thousand times that only use up on the money that we can afford to lose. About on coin investment always secure out into top ones.
5693  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Stop dreaming about the perfect trade on: July 03, 2018, 10:15:32 PM
Many traders are obsessed with the perfect trade, perfect technical indicators. Trading is the field of non-existent "perfect" words. You can have a very detailed plan, but finally be surprised by a crazy market situation, like a cold water droplets in the face.

Instead of trying to reach the perfect trade, change yourself to the market. Average predicted of you about market, average with another trader ( why not? ). You should accept fewer profit but you will lose less. You should sell sooner and buy later than your prediction. follow the market, because the market will not follow you.
Always a part in human nature for us to be a perfectionist even we are already treating up things on that way but we are well awared that perfect thing doesnt exist on this world.Who doesnt like to have a perfect trade anytime? This is why methods is continously being created by most people who are into it. Why? because we dont stop on exploring things which do lead up on a very profitable way of trading. Gradual small profits is good rather than chasing up a situation where you shouldnt have any losing trades which we know its an impossible thing.
5694  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: RollBurst.com - Dice Game for Burst Coin with Low House Edge - FAUCET Available on: July 03, 2018, 09:40:13 PM
don't think that Burst enjoys too much attention from the top gambling sites-
only Bitsler out of the top ones springs to mind
same developper for both cazinolize and rollburst means the interface and the usability is the same
If I remember correctly,cazinolize only accepted BCH,this one is pure Burst
are the owners same people? because the max win on cazinolize is very low and no whales would venture there because of that (maybe not only because of that)
as for the site itself-its a solid dice site with plenty of features like faucet,good autobet,provably fair and hope it does better than its twin brother

We have no clue about the owner of casinolize. Only the interface is slightly similar. But the back end features are different in both. Our site is more advanced since its developed recently.

We too have faucet, autobet, jackpot and we are provably fair..

Bitsler is a giant now. But it was small as we are now few years back. Hope we get big and bigger someday or the other.
All things do start out on small which is true and i dont know why people do try to compare out this one to bitsler since we do know the current standing of that site in the market when it comes to Dice game.
Just saying up my observation interface is almost identical and the same where others said on here but they are indeed different on most features.
Just continue op on what you are aiming, time will tell if you do succeed depending on the promotions and marketing will be done in near future.

Where do you start when looking build a team for a real project?

I hope your concern about the one ICO project, if you want the team member to join in ICO project means first you need to find the good website developer, smart contract dev, white paper and technical paper writer, community managers, bounty managers, translators, marketing manager.

If you have all these people in your project, you will be able to make your project in success milestones many times.
Just find into these sites:

https://www.xbtfreelancer.com/
https://www.upwork.com/
https://www.cryptogrind.com/

Try on reddit too.

These are the best sites to find up workers or part of your team or just  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0

1st if GPU is OC then revise to default value and run for few hours to check, If still the same problem then change check Sata Cable from PSU is okay not burned etc. then change riser sata cable then usb cable then riser.
Issue will be from above one of them. I believe
I had experienced this stuff when i do add up a card and troubleshooting up first on the PSU but i didnt resolve the issue. The problem is on sata cable is burned down.

5697  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: How to turn a 2+ years old nonEnglish cryptonews site self-sustaining? on: July 02, 2018, 10:20:01 PM


So we are running a daily news site in Hungary which has currently around 60K page views a month.
60k per month isnt really bad at all if you can sustain that traffic then monetizing would be somehow easy.

ICOs go to agencies to promote their projects and they pay out in tokens after very long time the project is concluded.
Risky payment and wont really have any assurance yet those tokens might not get any value in the end which means tendency you would end up
on recieving pennies.
Referral links which we push does generate some revenue but we like to get rid of those because we consider it unethical especially if you like to build an authority news site on which the community here can rely on.
Already being mentioned above PPC might really be a worthy move to be done. Cost might not really be a big deal because based on my experienced they arent charging to high.


If this site would be on English language and not on the local ones this would somehow help

I have tried out to surf yet but same as you said and the other guy above. All things that do offer too good to be true would be definitely just an another scam websites. When we do talk about easy money and do give assurance of profiting would just only exist on our dreams. Giving out guarantees to make money do really pisses me of.
Guys, don't pay attention to him, it was spammer and all his posts in various sections is just advertizing the website. He is nuked now.

Lol he is the campaign manager of this project bro. He definitely go with the positive talk about fortunejack over the forum. If I am right this admin account has the negative trust in the forum some time.
Please do not go with the Fortunejack to gamble with your bitcoin. Many scam attempt on jack pot won by the various forum people itself.
What are you talking about man? campaign manager? Who? Its clear that Hhampuz https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=881377 is the campaign manager of FJ.

I've been using Poloniex for years. It was the best exchange, and I made good money with it last year. It's more difficult this year, cryptos are down, and there's more competition. Still, when the market will go up again, I'm sure plenty of people will return to poloniex.
They wont return if poloniex wont able to resolve or arrange on the mess that they had done. Support gone bad, verifications takes too long then what we would expect? For sure traders or users would jump out and find another exchange. Competition is fierce and we cant really deny the fact that Poloniex wayback is the most popular exchange and when it comes to volume it is on top tier but now things has changed. Poloniex is currently now on rank 35 based on overall volume which is really going down even more.
