5881  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dice - A small mistake emptied my wallet. on: October 04, 2019, 05:29:20 PM
A small mistake on dice made my wallet get emptied. Only mistake is that I didn't added an additional zero to the bet amount. Instead of 0.00005 btc I mistakenly placed 0.0005 btc. Further on the consecutive bets went for a double the value. This all of the sudden emptied my wallet. I didn't watched the wallet until the bet amount in the tab turned zero. Further watched the bet history and understood what big mistake I've done.

Mankind always learn with experiment and now you will always double check the amount before playing a dice site.
Anyways 0.0005 is not that big so there is nothing to be worried. At first i also face such issues while transferring funds or spending bitcoins. But now i am very much familier that there are 8 zeros after the decimal and i never make this mistake again.

India is in total control of this game and SA still require 150 runs to avoid follow on and 6 wickets in hand . Just a thought if India wrap up before this and will they give SA follow on will they bat and let SA face the 4th innings pitch on 4th and 5th day if required .
India does have the upper hand and with two days left i am expecting a draw, South Africa just trail by 117 runs on the third day and they still have two wickets in hand and even if India starts their batting they will be batting the entire 4th day and will try to score a lead of above 350 runs and then put the South Africa to bat on the final day and if they are able to play for a longer time then it is going to be a dead match. I expect the wicket to spin in the final two days and it will be difficult for batsman to score freely and a couple of good session could change the match.

Around 180 overs remain in this match and South Africa hasn't finished their first innings yet. Even if India could get them out without much effort during the first session of the 4th day, I really doubt whether they will get enough overs to bowl out South Africa. But you never know. Ashwin can be very lethal on the 5th day. And if Jadeja also offers good support to him, then India may win this match comfortably.

The biggest problem for India will be to decide when they declared their innings.  What will be the safe score which they think that South Africa will not be able to chase in the last innings.  At the same time they do not want to make use of lot of overs for them to reach the safe score because then it will leave less overs for them to bowl out the South African team.

Altcoins will not disappear, it’s a fact, because you by yourself can see how many top altcoins work with big companies that need altcoin technologies such as ethereum, ripple and it is worth noting that there are a lot of such companies and there are more and more such companies constantly, so the top altcoins will have a good future, but the new altcoins that appear every day in the cryptocurrency sphere will experience enormous difficulties and many of them will disappear after some time,
To me this is not about old altcoins versus new altcoins, this is about whether or not a coin brings something of value to the community, if a coin is a copy of other projects or it is just a derivative project without any merit then that coin is going to fail regardless of how much time it has been on the market, the coins that will survive the current market conditions are those that have active developers that are actually trying to do something new in the market.

Even if the coin is not as good as the developers thought it would be at least that will give us an answer to the question of how we can improve the market of cryptocurrencies, it will tell to us that is not the way and that is as important as knowing which is the correct way to implement a cryptocurrency.

How many altcoins do you see in coinmarketcap ? Only around 2900. Now consider if every business / project has its own coin, there are still very less altcoins available in the world right now.
In real life, we see many people doing the same business, so why can't two different coins be working on the same project prototype ?
5884  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: We need regulation pretty bad on: September 29, 2019, 03:03:53 PM
i think that bad idea , whenever blockchain and cryptocurrency being control by govermen. Even on system payment that already regulated fraud and scam still exist there. What we need is just peoples need more education about cryptocurrency

Why would we want bitcoins and crypto to be regulated or controlled by the central authority ? If i am not wrong, digital currencies are being used to eliminate the middle man or the government to interfere the money matters and to avoid the necessary burden of taxes. If we allow governments to take control of digital currencies too, then it is better to stick with Fiat.
5885  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why its hard to attract investors on: September 29, 2019, 02:44:21 PM
Once beaten twice shy.
The ICO boom ended in the year 2018 when we had series of scam exits from celebrities promoted ICO project to project with promising future based on the MVP that they released.
Such situations can discourage any investor.

People are still looking for a good project to invest. If anyone has a proper ICO project plan and they are able to convince the people that their investment will not go into waste, people will still invest in them. People always needs to invest in something which can provide them passive income. You can see the example of IEO. As soon as people realize the benefit of ieo, they started investing in them.
You need to have a proper advertising plan to back up a legal project and you will find people to invest in it.

1000 satoshi is only 0.08$ and it is worthless. Nobody will deposit on the site with the greediness to get the bonus. Yes, regular gamblers will deposit to play on the site and get additional 1000 satoshi. I wished they could have given some more bonus like 10 - 20$ which could have grabbed the attention of the players.
Do you really expect them to give you 10-20? Why should they give people this money?
There is no site give you such a bonus. The purposes of bonuses is not giving people free valuable money. The main purpose is encourage people to play on the website. Gamblers can use websites freely and then deposit if they like. You should thank

Remember that they were giving bonus only for 2 days, so i was expecting some big bonus which may attract more customers too and they could have pinned some conditions like wagering for withdrawal. (so the bonus could not be abused)


consider this bonus of 1000 sat as compensation for paying the network of your deposit and withdrawing winnings  Wink you will receive more bonuses for activity in the game. either play for free in demo mode

I appreciate and i am beginning to like the site too.  Smiley

 -I will add the bonus in manual mode, this may take some time.
How about a minimum deposit to get that 1000 satoshis bonus? I hope that you don't require too much deposit in minimum to be eligible for that bonus. By the way, how about withdrawal fees on 2dice.io site? Does it a dynamic fee that is updated with network transaction fees or only is a fixed one that manually set up by 2dice.io team?

1000 satoshi is only 0.08$ and it is worthless. Nobody will deposit on the site with the greediness to get the bonus.

5888  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will Alt season come soon? on: September 29, 2019, 09:34:42 AM
If we based on many prediction, Yes it possible to happen and it will happen soon because according to the prediction on "experts" bitcoin will fall before the year 2019 ends, and now bitcoin experienced a continue price falling and when the time that bitcoin will fall they say that the altcoin will increase. So if we based on that theory the alt season is near to happen.

Yes, the alt season will come when the bitcoin dominance will decrease but at the same time we do not want the overall market cap to decrease too. If the marketcap of crypto remain stable only then the money will flow from bitcoins to the altcoins. However if the marketcap also decrease with the bitcoin price decrease, then the alts will dump too.
5889  Economy / Gambling / Re: FortuneJack has a problem in Dice game on: September 29, 2019, 07:27:07 AM
It's pretty nuts that nobody noticed this even though it was a persistent issue for years. I'm curious to see how much extra Fortunejack made from this and what they will do to reimburse the effected players. Given that this issue dates back years it will be extremely difficult to even figure out who was effected and to what degree, but given this level of error they should really spend some time to get this right.

I am sure this was not done deliberately and this bug has just been figured out. Obviously they cannot compensate the players for this but the good thing is that they have accepted it and will update it. Also the new bug bounty announced by fortune jack is yet another step towards transparency and good faith.

They can if they wish to do it, there must be a full history of bets made at Fortunejack so they can give some compensation for those who were affected. Obviously as what is said by Stunna, it might be difficult and take a lot of time but I believe it can be checked. The amount of win bets that graded as lose bets can be a huge amount since its been many years already, lets see what Fortunejack is going to do to deal with this. IMO, giving bug bounty for those who find this bug is not enough because the affected players deserves to get their money back if they lost some money due to this bug.

Maybe they can, i think it will be asking too much from them. There may be players who played and left and no longer play on the sites. This will be a huge amount of effort to calculate all the bets and figure out the correct amount.
My opinion is to leave the past but for the future, good thing is that no further players can be affected by it.
5890  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Overall winning - Dice on: September 29, 2019, 07:06:24 AM
Have anyone profited out of dice in the short or long term. I have been trying the best and lost all, I can't leave it. Once after I loss I have gone beyond my ability. Finally as the wallet got emptied, I bought bitcoin particularly for betting and lost even the amount earned from my day job. I used to experience win, but at the end it is a loss. I miss the right time to stop and leave. Cry Cry Cry

There is a lot of tragedy in your experience and this might be the story of many gamblers here. You need to understand that you can win in gambling only if you have a proper plan. If you just come and play with hope to win and no plan on what to do on the loss, you can never recover.
If you are forced to invest more money to recover your loss, then this means that you have lack of any backup plan.
5891  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Things That Comes Into Your Mind When Winning... on: September 29, 2019, 06:04:08 AM
It depends on the won amount,if it was really high then I will stop betting on that day and surely will spend most of the money by that day itself.If its just the decent amount or merely less than our lost money then simply risk that amount on betting again to make more.
Yeah when people win high amount to become satisfied but some people make mistakes to gamble again at the moments. As when I win I try to increase my amount and the only thing I think about is to win more and more but its not good we should limit our earning being good gambler is one of the best feeling.
That’s what you called greediness mate.cannot be contented in good amount of winnings instead always looking for more and more that’s why even if they are winning in the start up to mid,in the end losing is what they’ve got

If you want to win in gambling the learn to control Your eagerness and small winnings is enough than looking for higher but cannot be done
Greed always accompanies and makes me to spend a amount higher than what I spend on the previous roll. Another thing I used to keep a target and play which the reason for most of my losses. In simple when I start I used to fix we need to win 0.0005btc and stop, but I earn 0.00042 btc and by that time losing starts and to recover the loss I used to increase the bet value. This finally ends up with empty wallet.

Also the frustration starts to creep in , if we start losing in gambling. I used to adopt the same technique in my games but later i realized it is  unrealistic as we cannot win the predetermined amount which we thought in our minds.
These days i just quit as soon as i get the profit. I do not care even if the profit is few dollars. I quit and come back the next day.
5892  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does Martingale strategy increase your chance of winning? on: September 28, 2019, 03:06:40 PM
Martingale strategy is not ideal to be used for a long term betting. It lessens your chance of winning and would only lessen the amount of money you have. The house edge always wins when you gamble. In my personal opinion it maybe profitable for only a number of bet. I would stick on my own gamblig strategy and let instinct and luck play its part. That way I can enjoy gamblig more.

You cannot win in gambling if you go with a long term strategy or plan. It does not matter which strategy you use, you should cash out your profits as soon as you get them. Sometime i win because of luck and sometimes i decide to play Martingale strategy but the important thing i ensure is to take profits as they come and do not unnecessary lengthens the gambling games.
5893  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Choose Lottery Instead Of Anything Else? on: September 28, 2019, 02:31:32 PM
The simplest reason I can think of is that lottery requires small amount of bet yet high return, it even simple to play. The small bet is the more people would play the game simply because anyone can afforf it and others only plays the amount they can afford to lose. However, you really need a huge amount of luck just for you to win.

Whats the purpose and use of small bet when you cannot gain anything from it. Apart from the few exceptional cases, i never seen anyone wining a lottery. It is like that you invest something in which you know there are only 1% chances of wining. If you are a part time gambler, only then you can choose to try your luck with lottery otherwise you should avoid it.
5894  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Cock Fighting on: September 27, 2019, 06:56:42 PM
You says not entire true because as far i remember there are two different type of cockfighting in the world and on Philipines and Mexico the people at there use small knife as a tool and usually those knife put in between chicken legs and it can kill rapidly the chicken while fight but in Thailand mostly people at there didn't use special tool and it's pure of chicken fight and rare to see the animal dead in the middle of fight so if the chicken give up or run away then the match will ended
We have also that here in the Philippines but the famous one is the one that has a small knife as a tool. The other one was extremely long to wait, you need a patient here since there is no small knife. The only enemy here is the time, there's a limit of time and as long as both the cock are fighting and no one is running and the fight is going on.
The money on that kind of fight is slow and that is still good because the risk is very low since every fights here takes so long.

How cruel is that....
This also means that one cock has to die for the match to finish ?  Also the other cock who win and is alive will have so much wounds.
If i had some authority, i would have immediately ban such cruel sports.
5895  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Aigar Network Crypto Community [Official] on: September 26, 2019, 05:52:13 AM
So what will happen to our BTW coin? Any news when the swap will take place?

the OP says there is a swap of 60BTW to 1 ALGAR and wait for further announcement. but what would be the main difference from the old bitwhite project aside from fresh code? is there a list of possible apps in the market?

Same questions on my mind.
Are we still dealing with a BTC fork or this has taken on a whole new life of its own? A simple comparison table between Aigar and Bitwhite would go a long way in shedding more light on the issue. Should we also be expecting an updated WP?

This is a completely different project with a different blockchain, a different platform and a different idea.

Is this swap compulsory ? I mean after the swap will both Bitwhite and Aigar co-exists or we will only have Aigar coins ? What will happen to the coins stored in web wallets. Will the swap be automatic and what will happen to the remaining coins which are not swapped. Will the team burn those coins or not ?

5897  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The End of Crypto Signal Groups on: September 22, 2019, 06:08:08 PM
You are right, signal groups are currently dying a slow death. Finally.

Anyways, I skimmed through your article. You should rather tag it as an advertisement, the headline is only covered in a few self-repeating paragraphs, the way larger part of the article deals with the benefits of social trading platforms like yours. Social trading is just another way of luring people who should definitely not trade into trading with false promises in my opinion.



Crypto Signal Groups are already dies out as there is no signals which can be given in the current market. The altcoin market is almost dead. However i do think that once we will have a bull run again, then again we will see lot of signals groups coming up and demanding small fee for their so called premier signals.  Cheesy
It is better to learn trading yourself, rather than giving these scam trading signals group money to get fake signals.
5898  Economy / Economics / Re: Forms of converting cryptocurrencies into cash on: September 22, 2019, 06:00:57 PM
Forms of converting cryptocurrency to cash or fiat is made possible by the cryptocurrency merchants. There are cryptocurrency merchants in almost every country helping in the conversion of cryptocurrency to fiat and vice versa. Also, trusted escrow services can be of great use if merchants do not work on a 24/7 basis.

Converting from fiat to crypto and vice versa is not difficult at all as you will always find buyers and sellers of bitcoin everywhere. You can use localbitcoins.com or any of your local exchange or you can even search for people who live nearby you whom are willing to buy your bitcoins for cash.
5899  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Marketing And Religion on: September 22, 2019, 04:42:36 PM
Then it looks like indeed promoting a gambling site is forbidden by Sharia.

But I want to say that that only proves once again the incompatibility of old religions with modern day life. If you work as a taxi driver, a pilot, a train driver or a captain of a passenger ship, and you say to someone "Sorry, I can't transport you because you have alcohol with you.", you will be fired immediately. Or, if you are an electrician and you are called to a restaurant to fix something for them, you can't accept the payment, if they sell alcohol and/or pork because "He also forbids its price". WTF?



Why do want to make things complicated here. If we think so deep then there will always be something which will not be allowed and we might end up stuck.
In the above example. the electrician and taxi driver will not be doing the sin because they themselves are not alcoholic and they are not responsible if anyone is selling or drinking alcohol.
5900  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reasons Crypto Players Skip Casinos with KYC on: September 22, 2019, 04:24:40 PM
It is correct that it is the reason why crypto players skip casinos that has KYC implemented in it. If they are in a country where it is not legalized gambling then they can't play in that site. If the site is compromised then their personal data might be compromised or get stolen.

Most of the gamblers are playing gambling illegal as it is either not considered good in their family/friends or it is prohibited in their country. But the online gambling has given easy way to bypass all these restrictions and play gambling anonymously.  But now few of the sites have made KYC compulsory, this has lead to uneasiness among those gamblers who do not want to disclose their identity and remain hidden.
