Why are you looking for accounts if you have defaulted loans? Wouldn't you rather be selling the accounts rather than buying more?

I feel like nowadays, any bot-controlled (YoBit and Bitmixer.io) signature campaign is going to be abused and filled with probably 95% spammers. Most of the high-quality posters go to the actual campaigns monitored by real campaign managers, anyway. With the exception of seconds-trade. That one is also filled with spammers. Unfortunately, hilariousandco already warned YoBit spammers not to do so, but they continue to do so.

We should purge lock the spammable threads and have actual discussion in Economics, Speculation, Gambling, and even sometimes Bitcoin Discussion.

(And please, get someone to stop the stuff going on in Investor-based games [the constant ponzi "warnings"] and Auctions [the spam that can appear productive] so that they're also dealt with)


Sidenote: In the "Stake your Bitcoin address here" thread, we should consider a repeat quote spam. Especially when it's by a member that has a YoBit signature. There is absolutely NO point in quoting the same person more than once, especially since you're given a warning prior to posting.
Absolutely unforgivable.

Can I pop this thread back to the top so we get some traction underway with dealing with spam?

User knowhow appears to have no idea how to construct sentences with any constructive feedback. He seems to follow the same thought process of merely posting a minimum amount, then moving on to the next topic. And the next one. And the next one.

He seems to love the Auction subsection. It's great to appear like you're adding insight, but in reality you're just clutching those cents that YoBit provides!

On several AUCTION topics, he posted (purely for the sake of the signature, I would bet) the following:







Here's some hilarious hypocrisy!

Moving on.

User chaosknight. Not so much YoBit but this time Bitmixer.io (How lovely. More money for more spam)

Here's some of the quality posts that he's provided to help the community thrive.


And lastly completely ignoring the original question that's in the OP (choosing between Bitcoin and gold as an investment)

Oh, and here's an image I screenshotted of the Economics subsection (ft. chaosknight)




Surely, this man must be a valuable member of this community. Contributing to threads every two minutes with wise and relevant content that has never been stated before thousands of times.

quality content right guys?

Oh, and just as an added bonus, here's one I found literally 30 seconds ago. It's that easy. You just go to Economics, Speculation, or Gambling and look for any user with a number of chained replies in a row.

SquallLeonhart is the name.

You need to address the question as to what your collateral will be.

As well, it would be useful to know the following:

How do you plan to repay the loan?
What do you need the loan for?

So then if you think it's not a healthy investment, why would you bother wasting time with it? Especially considering you have 871 posts on the forum. That's a lot of time spent on it. And, you've got 378 activity as well. If you have the time to spam a bunch of threads with your YoBit signature, then you have invested a lot of time into Bitcoin. Read the OP.
"It's not necessarily investing money into it. You obviously also invest time (which is pretty much money) into the bitcoin community."

Vanity address! How fun.

1ActBTCi5XUMjqnyFxVWgSfE5xWicj8g3o is a new vanity address. The date is March 19, 2016, 7:08 PM EST. Actmyname on Bitcointalk.

Haha, I managed to get lucky on this.

Generated 1ActBTCi5XUMjqnyFxVWgSfE5xWicj8g3o when I was trying to find a non-case-sensitive prefix of "actbtc". It was my first try of that result, in under 10 minutes. Thanks greatly for making this.

If I had more time or much faster computational power I'd go ahead and help other people or generate a full "1actmyname" prefix. (But even the non-case-sensitive of that takes 100+ days at my current speed)

Well, the only fear is that in the moment when you lose, you might think, "I can win this back. Let me deposit just 0.5 BTC more [or more than that] and I'll be able to win." That sort of impulsive decision can arise. You should know this. I know this. Many people are aware of this, though the problem is that they don't have enough willpower to resist the urge.

Although I don't gamble that frequently, I feel that making an Excel spreadsheet would be fun for me. I love dealing with spreadsheets - it's incredibly enjoyable for me to crack down and crunch some numbers, create some formulas, and do whatever it is I would want to do.

I guess I would do great in accounting, haha.

As for the topic question, I've lost about 0.4 (+- 0.5) BTC through gambling. That would be my net loss, which is unfortunate albeit I've had fun with the gambling so I don't feel that it's too big of a loss for me. Maybe it's worth the money, then. Like a hobby.

There is none. This was a scam by the owner, xPooky. It was a ponzi, developed into this shitcoin scam as well. It was a "web-based" altcoin, which was stored only on his website.

I think both keychain ideas would be quite popular. I know that the CS:GO community would probably like the whole keychain product. I myself would potentially buy that. If you plan on creating a BTC coin keychain, then I would definitely buy that as soon as you release it. If you decide to market that to this community, then I'm sure it would be efficient for you to begin mass producing it.

Guys, relax.

The website's not even up, so don't bother posting warnings. Besides, anyone who has enough money to invest would clearly see through this obvious scam. No need to save those who are stupid

But when you have a small amount of money, you need to be aware of your financial situation. You should adhere to the fact that there were risks associated with your wagering. Gambling is a risk. You were consciously making the decision, "I will bet my money on this and I have a chance to lose it."

You shouldn't expect to win anything. No. You should go in expecting to lose anything you bet. Expect the worst outcome.

Why? Why will the price increase the entire year? Why would people collectively sell their coins after the halving? There's no factor that would make the price increase the entire year. There's nothing that would make it so. The halving also does not dictate an increase in price, either. Sure, the miner reward gets split in half, but that does not affect the overall supply greatly (for a while). It is not going to double the price. That's not how economics works.

You can expect people to dump when the price rises, of course. But I doubt that your predictions will come true.

Their profit will not be cut in half. Their gross earnings will. Their profit could well go into the negatives if their mining is just slightly profitable at this current stage. That's why many miners would simply stop once the halving comes. It would be inefficient to mine unless you had some huge mine or a next-level ASIC.

Obviously, they would shy away if the difficulty is still as high as it is now, but if it lessens to the point where there's still profit, some miners will stay. The overall number of miners will decrease, however.

Well, obviously you need to begin mining. The other thing to note is that nowadays it's more efficient to not mine rather than mine with your CPU. In the old days, it was fine to do so. The difficulty was way, way lower. These days if you try to mine with your computer you would spend hundreds of times more on electricity than you would get back with the block reward.

But don't you fear that eventually, your emotional impulses will get the better of you and you'll soon begin to bet a lot more than you would want to? I mean... it's gambling. You would have to be addicted, and addiction can control you even if you're aware of it. This is speaking from both experience and science

Are your winnings secured in a cold wallet or perhaps somewhere that you won't access easily to prevent any wagering scenarios?

As opposed to what? Using some "strategies" like the martingale (please do not do this, ever) and fibonacci? They don't particularly have as great results as going all in either. I would personally rather choose to bet it all on one single bet rather than drag it out and increase my risk of ruin. There's always the possibility of going positive in either scenario, but when you go all in you get an instant reward or loss. No use in waiting when the chances are around the same.

That's harsh! I love playing those lottery-type games, though. I remember when someone on csgojackpot lost their $3000 item to something like a $10 deposit. That was a seriously bad loss.

My largest loss would have to be two bets of 0.2 (on different occasions) on Primedice. Unfortunately, I lost both of them at 80% chance back when the price of bitcoins was quite high. I guess I just got way too greedy.

I don't mean experience or exposure in gambling. My question was aimed purely at the first time that you've gambled. By experience I did not mean a full on gambling experience.


I'm merely curious as to other people and how their gambling "career" started. After all, plenty of people here gamble (it's the Gambling section, of course) and thus I would like to delve into the beginnings of some gamblers here, just to sort of see how it all began. There's no problem with that, I hope.

Typically, people have their first gambling experience in their youth and adolescence. Not in a casino or any gambling house, but as I said again, I just want to see how it all started. People have lost scores of dollars to thousands of dollars. But perhaps all gamblers start the same way.
