If you ban signature campaigns then account sales will probably drop to almost nothing but forum activty also drops, does that matter? i dont know.
You decrease the activity of the spammers, which is something that is good to see. Think about forum activity in the bigger picture for a second here. Those threads with hundreds of pages in Economics, Gambling, even Bitcoin Discussion are filled with one-liners and repetitious content that offers no substance to the forum. So what are we really missing out on? |

Although that is a key thing to note when one is gambling, this thread is about staying away from gambling. With this in mind, the gambler's fallacy has nil to do with avoiding the confrontation of addiction. I will say that hobbies and social contact are key in avoiding the urge of gambling. It should be also noted that limiting access of gambling will also help. For example, we are in a bitcoin-based forum, but bitcoins are obtained with relative ease and you may gamble in a variety of areas. That sort of access could open up opportunities for gambling. Which is a problem. |

i think you are right if you are gambling alone is hard to win and you will lose but i think the beter idea is to gamble by investing with house that will make the advontage with you because the house always win
But investing into gambling site is not a gambling. It becomes investment. Not only in gambling sites, you can invest into any profitably running business. But they must be reputed one. Yes this iis true. If you own the casino or betting website you're sure not to loose. If you're a player on the other hand, expect to loose money on those gambling websites. You're not sure not to loose. If you own the source of the gambling, then the odds are in your favor. I agree with that statement, because of the statistical reality of how the house edge works, albeit if you're considering that you will always be profiting off gamblers, it's not a guarantee. There is a more likely chance that you will always be in the green, but (even if you impose a max limit) there could be a chance for someone or a group of people to win all of your bankroll, which then you are done. |

There are not people become rich from gambling, that is why on my country gambling are illegal. And there are not people can win consistent from gambling
Lol, so you think that gambling is illegal because there are not many people become rich of it? How if there are many people rich because of gambling? Will our government make it legal? No absolutely not.. What is said is practically impossible to happen like many people winning money from gambling and becoming rich. Because casinos are not charity workers to distribute their money to public and make them rich. Since all governments knows that, lots of people losing money to these casinos and ending up without any money and lot troubles to dependants so governments end up banning gambling in their respective countries. That just opens up more illicit gambling houses. Ever heard of supply and demand? This is pretty similar to how the "war on drugs" fails. The demand is still the same yet the supply drops due to the fact that it's deemed illegal. Thus, those who are addicted still wish to do x but since it is illegal they are persecuted for it and it gives more incentive for someone to begin producing x for those who are addicted to it (as they can charge more, due to the lessened supply) |

Nice update, with some help from bit_exo, the house edge is now fixed.
1% on first tile you click.
Then, 0.50% on the other tiles you click. (on a same game)
Hrm... I'm not so sure I like this update  I was enjoying the 0.05-0.08% house edge and playing with that. Now it'll actually be significantly more difficult for me to fight against the odds! (Though, let's not talk about the horrible luck I had a while back) |

I'd voted $600, because it was the closest number to my choice for this year, which is around $550. Expecting a $1000 price for bitcoin is far too energetic for the current factors, even with the halving, and though $800 is possible, I suspect that it will be unlikely to happen. I do not think that the price will fall, however it will also not rise to extreme levels like some are predicting.

The dollar will win easily if you ask me, look how big it is and the bitcoin is even depending on it.
The bitcoin is way too small to ever win from the dollar..
True, people trust in dollar and follow to dollar in everything. It's the most popular currency nowdays and also the biggest one. Bitcoine can't compete dollar anyway. It is true that dollar is more popular than bitcoin and more people are using dollar for their use, but bitcoin has some features which attract more people towards itself, and there is only one problem which do not make it higher than dollar and that is its fluctuation in price and once the price of bitcoin got stability, you will see that bitcoin will get No.1 position. Though the USD reigns in superiority in the amount of usage, bitcoin prevails in that it uses the block chain, allows for a public ledger where all transactions may be tracked and thus no fraud can be made... and the pseudo-anonymity is also a plus. Neither one of the currencies have any intrinsic value, but clearly bitcoins have much more potential than the US dollar would, no matter how it's morphed. Inflation will only steadily increase for the US dollar while the supply of bitcoins is limited and its value will only grow as time goes on. Us (somewhat) early investors can expect it to pay off eventually. Only time will tell. Patience, friends. |

(After looking through again, there are 64 posts [constructive and non-constructive included] that I can see)
I counted 65 actually Do you guys recon that the Stage 6 = 2016-04-02 00:01 Forum time - 2016-05-01 23:59 Forum Time. Please check again. I'm 100% sure it's 40. Don't count posts from 2nd of May please. Page 1 of your post history (@actmyname) contains only posts from the 2nd of May. Why you count them too?  Stage 6 ended at May 1, 23:59 forum time. Correct. But https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.msg14725833#msg14725833(the final post) was still on May 1, forum time. Starting halfway through page 1, the posts were still made on May 1st forum time. And until halfway through page 4, the posts were between April 2nd and May 1st forum time. Is your local time set wrong? |

I myself also think that I've done more than what's posted on there. If it's possible, could there be a second check? (Forgive me if I'm wrong) since I've counted at least 70 (constructive and non constructive posts) in this stage so that's a 30-post deficit
Hello, if you want to make sure that my calculations are correct you can always count your posts on your own and check it out - just go to your post history and check how many posts you have made from the start till the end of the recently finished Stage 6. In your case: Stage 6: 2016-04-02 00:01 Forum time - 2016-05-01 23:59 Forum Time.40 posts (less than our required minimum). 2 not payable: 1 & 2. 14 posts with Gambling Section bonus. No mistake. Everything is correct. BTW. Please remember that our required minimum is 50 posts per Stage, please try to improve your activity during the Stage 7. Just a reminder: Participants with less than 50 posts might not receive their payments (due to our rules) and will not receive the Stage Bonus. Usually we pay to everyone but the Bonuses are and should be mentioned only to those who respected our requirements. Best regards. You ended before the forum time had finished, however. This is the final post before Stage 6 ended, and this would be the first post from the stage. From page 1 to page 4 of my posts. You'd only counted 40 posts through two pages. (After looking through again, there are 64 posts [constructive and non-constructive included] that I can see) |

Hello, No, they were not ignored - it's my little mistake. Very sorry about that. Correct number is 159. On my template sheet the number is correct, somehow I made mistake while copying from the temp sheet to the official one. I'm always checking 4 times but we're all human Best regards. I myself also think that I've done more than what's posted on there. If it's possible, could there be a second check? (Forgive me if I'm wrong) since I've counted at least 70 (constructive and non constructive posts) in this stage so that's a 30-post deficit |

Promo 77777 Congrats to gizane for the first player won the 77777 Promo, which offer 16 BTC Prize plus RUBIES Prize worth 0.64 BTC. I started playing at DL before JPR hit the first 6, and I always say that it is quite impossible to hit the 6 cos the game is as same as State Lottery. Then the first siren came out, and the JPR hit the 6. Two weeks later, winorgohome hit the 6. Not only that, during the same month of April, Cooldad hit the 6 and it is not AprilFool but it is a fact that anyone can hit the 6. And now, only after 72 hours, JPR hit it again....not only during promo but this is the biggest winning so far for DL. So, the point that i would like to share with u guys, everyone can be the winner. Even a single bet can make a big different at DL. Now , lets hunt for the 32 BTC profit and u guys can be the next winner. Bravo DL and Goodluck to all the players  Dust Lottery is essentially the poor man's lottery. It's got about the same chances as 6/49, but you don't have to spend a crap ton of money every time you want to try. The only problem is that you won't get any compensation if you get more than 1/6, which is unfortunate. But it's a great game if you want to REALLY go for that jackpot. People who hunt 9900x or 9960x on dice games would definitely have fun with this game. If you hit 4/6 you will get x100 initial bet and x1500 initial bet for 5/6... This win is reminder that every bet can hit... Oh, really? That must have been a change since I last played. That makes it well worth it, in that case! Seems that 4/6 is 125x and that 5/6 is 1500x. |

Extremely popular but relative to the wider world it was nothing though. I want to see bitcoin challenge dollar and mainstream currencies, arent we setting the bar a bit low. I always dislike people describing just one site as setting a trend for bitcoin, its way more then that or at least I hope Im right in thinking so. Maybe Im wrong its just a token system used between some sites for a while and we'll move on to more adaptable durable means of value transfer, that would be sad
Well the best aspect of bitcoin was the fact that it introduced blockchain technology. I think the real gem in the community and what it should be renowned for. It doesn't matter too much about the negative publicity about bitcoin, but if it allows blockchain usage to become much more popular, then at least something great would have come from it. I've seen this one idea start to become initialized: storj.io where cloud storage has a blockchain system and using users to help store one person's files working with it. |

There is no mention about Bitcoin Savings And Trust which would make it to the top 8 in the article. MtGox is still and will most likely stay nr1 for another decade or two.
MtGox's infamous scam will live on in the history of bitcoin, and most likely is a huge factor in what causes the majority of the negative buzz about bitcoin, along with Silk Road. Sad. |

AFAIK there's nothing that have said BTCitcoin usage should be in constant circulation in order for it to work therefor storing it it won't harm or go against it. It's like forcing someone to spend their money just so it goes in the market but there's no such thing and people just like using their ordinary wallet, have a tendency to keep some of their earned money for some times, while also spend some of it.
If you mean, it's needed to go in circulation all the time, just for the sake of adoption then still a "NO" since, as long as some believe in it, there isn't a necessity for it to be used all the time.
Yeah, but let's suppose that everyone holds their bitcoins and they all believe in it. They would be hasty in trying to sell the bitcoins, because of their faith in bitcoin, and thus there would be no circulation. The lack of circulation kind of defeats the purpose because you have all this supply but no one to use it, and hence no demand. What's good is a healthy mix of circulation and holders [the selfish ones who profit from the investment]. |

I expect a little bull run, but then there will be people taking their profits, bringing the price down again a little bit. It's inevitable.
The more sharp the uptrend will be, the more "losers" there will be, too. Because high volatility means that the price also can go down fast, and people will panic faster than if there is only a slow uptrend. That is more true for new members of the community which tend also to have too high expectations for the bubble peak.
So the most "win-win" outcome, with the smallest number of "losers", I can imagine is a slower uptrend. I remember that in the early 2013 uptrend there was a group that wanted to achieve just this - they wanted to sell if the price went up too sharply, so the bubble would not overheat. They failed, as we all know the bubble overheated totally and the April 11 (?) crash was very sharp (266 -> ~100).
There aren't going to be winners without at least some losers. Not EVERYONE will profit from bitcoin, but in the coming months, we can assume at least an increase in price thanks to some people's losses or "investments" in bitcoin. Eventually when the price surges to high levels, there need to be buy orders for "suckers" to lose and generate profits for the sellers. |
