The Feeling of being able to win a lot of money is the fact a lot of people are coming back.

And greedyness kills in gambling Grin

To be honestly.. you can't make lots of profit on dice sites.

the odds are against you..

If you are into gambling you might try some sort of trading.. its like gambling with a bit of skill.

In general trading is comparable to gambling..
But since there are so many factors which influence the price.. its not pure gambling.

Its more about gathering informations and predicting the price.

Stopping with gambling is very difficult and I do not think you can just stop, you should make a sort of plan to build it down from time to down and than completely stop with it.

It is possible to stop as long as your not addicted.
If you're addicted to gambling you should get professional help.

Its the best way to get rid of such an addiction.

I also lost quite a lot on dice sites..
its just not worth the coins..

Rather trade with them or invest them..

But this is easier said than done..

Almost everyone is losing in gambling..
At least if its going long term..

You should know, that there are scrapers around who look for BTC Addresses with private keys created with simple (and most used ) passwords... just to empty them
after any amount of btc is send to them.

Like already mentioned halving happens every 210.000 Blocks (which is roughly 2 years considered that 1 block is mined every 10 mins in average).

Does anyone know wheter reward is going to be halved on block 420.000 or first halved reward at block 420.001 ?

cat /tmp/hashlist | sed -e 's/$^.*$$.$$/\2/' | sort | uniq -c | sort

Here it is in chart form - definitely random!

Would have been kinda irritating if it wasnt random.
Since its SHA HASHING

There is no certainty that any of the previous outputs that were used to fund the transaction were received at addresses under the control of the person that arranged for you to receive the bitcoins (or that those previous outputs were received at addresses at all).

However, if you are certain that you know that a particular output was received at an address that was under the control of the person that arranged for you to receive the bitcoins, then you can retrieve the public key from the transaction ScriptSig.

And how is this technically done?

The password is purely for encryption purposes. If someone has an older wallet.dat and can guess the password they'll get the private keys. Sweep if you're not sure!

I learned the hard way. Sad

How so?

Got an old backup cracked or current ?

If i knew what happened to BTC after halving.. i would either invest all my money on btc or sell them all...
But unfortunately you can't be sure about that.

Of course the plan is to hord as much btc as possible and wait for them to go to the moon.
Then sell about 50% and keep the rest for eventually more profit.

Unfortunately i didn't knew anything about bitcoins back in 2013.
I wish i already knew it there Cheesy

I dont think this is too bad of a reputation for bitcoins.
I mean.. he didnt do that because bitcoin exists.. he just used it as payment processor..

He also could have used faked Paypal accound with fake credit card.. But this wouldnt be mentioned in such an article.

I dont think Banks will ever accept bitcoin as payment.
They might create their own Blockchain technology.. but they definetly not gonna accept bitcoins

From the view of customer.. paypal seems to be better.
But Bitcoin with escrow system beats paypal at any stage.

If i had 10 BTC to spend i would compare investments online.. But keep away from the risky ones.
Then invest about 5-7 btc.
2-3 would be for trading.
0.5 may be for gambling and the rest.. well.. i would spend it Cheesy

Well.. first of all you always gonna lose in the long run.

But if you want to play smart.. dont let your emotions control your game.

This would be something new.
Its more risky because this will attract just a small group of people.
