The idea of "only investing in Bitcoin what you can afford to lose" is backwards. I'm investing in Bitcoin all the money that I want to SAVE. Unlike my fiat bank accounts, my Bitcoin wallets can not be seized by the state nor frozen by a corporation.

You are using the wrong term for this basically you are not investing but you are saving as because the main point of this would not be to get more but rather to secure your belongings. Saving is about securing your belongings and security .
The words investing is only used if you are looking to get more of what you have invested which means that there is an interest rate that you gain from each of your capital

BTW I am again suggesting the website owner that like people are posting like LB in this thread you can also do so in their's and I can help. PM me if interested. This was your website will get even more exposure.

Cross advertising isnt healthy. Simply proof what the site worth is the best advertising. The site has been marked to be having a bad marketing because of the 0.0001BTC spam and doing another cross advertising will only hurt the site more

People won't leave the site just because of Pachinko

People can always stay with their favourite site but that doesnt mean they should close their eye to a potential new site.  Smiley

I think this site can get #2 place in Bitcoin on-chain gambling

There isnt much competition on on-chain game anyway

LuckyB.it is doing a lot of promotions and they are nicely operating with their community, I don't see anything like this here :/

Rome wasnt built in one day and either is the LuckyBit community wasnt formed in days. They have been here for almost 2 years and you cant compare their community with this new site as well as the promotions that they have done. Simply because the site is making profit is the reason they are alot of promotions , giveaway and such

Oh and nothing still on the Q&A Sad

There is nothing left to expect here even with the ultimatum from TheMage isnt enough to make him answer the question which has been submitted. This seems to be another indicator that he has no intention to straighten this whole mess up. There is no point for him to keep on stalling with all of this since everyone will either wait for the "magical" hardware or leave it as it is ( it is unlikely that people will pay the fee and even if they did it will be for a small account )

-snip-

In fact this is not a new thing in here. It is known as "fee" here and in poker it is known as "rake" . The percentage of it is different according to the site which mostly takes 1 % from your profit or 1 % from your payout ( 1 % both for each side ).

Here is the few references of some sites that takes on "fee" instead of house edge :

Fairlay ( claimed to be 0% fee but idk details about it ) : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=673475.0

Girlbtc ( 1 % fee from payout ) : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=673475.0

Tappabit ( not taking any fee for their game but takes 3 % withdrawal fee ) : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1098747.0

and few others poker site that you can search at this board

I will also be including a "Quick Drop" button.

If this feature would be the feature that get you the result instantly then this will be killing the suspense for the game. Basically plinko is known for the suspense of watching the ball drops and having this feature would make it looks like a dice game ( a single click and get result instantly ).
Pretty much not worth it IMO and if someone actually wants to get an instant result then he could always use the betting history pages in moneypot as the result will shown there instantly



On a side note, is Dan a partner of yours or Do you own this site completely? Just wondering because his name is still listed on the staff page

 If you do not satisfy us that
you have taken reasonable steps to prevent such access, we will pursue other avenues to prevent
the unlicensed activities. This may result in the website no longer being accessible.

All it needs is a single threat and all site will comply. This is pretty much happened to the other site as well which is logical because it is better to lose a fraction of customer from UK rather than losing the whole business. As for the bolded part, it seems pretty much indicates that the Gambling commision will write a letter to your hosting company to stop hosting your site or could be just DDOSing the site ( which is highly unlikely but still possible )

We're contemplating adding a custom page for UK users to point them the way of VPNs, I wonder if that would fly.

Pretty much unneeded as because VPN is pretty common nowadays to avoid such IP checks (?)

we've asked him before if we can buy his license and he said no because they don't accept Bitcoin

Kinda confusing but If there is an intention to purchase the license, then you could just cash the BTC into FIAT and buy the license anyway why insist on using BTC?

Atleast i realised now. Unless someone who already invested in it says its genuine, i am not going to invest

Reading this pretty much made my day better  Smiley . What do you expect from a company that was crowned as a scam site since day 1 when they were caught lying? No genuine company needs to lie and provide nonsense argument. Apart from that, you should notice that all of their review as well as article and so on is paid therefore it is biased which lead you to a food for thoughts

" why would a genuine company paid for such positive review? "  Wink

tl;dr : they are not genuine and never will be

It is not an issue for existing moneypot users and existing Betterbets users, but it could make new visitors confused.
When they expect to see a demo, but instead are shown with that error message, many of them will probably just close the tab and will never be back again.

To be honest that is just a matter of preferences. Some user will sign up a new account to access the site (which only take a minute) while some other love to browse through with demo mode instead. However this issue only happen recently as I didnt recall anything like this to happen before. Beside that no matter how small the bug is , BetterBets development team will squeeze the bug out to make a bug-less site so you can be sure this will be taken care of

EDIT : It seems the development team is fixing this right now  Smiley

Yeah, I seem to have broken something during the last update. I'll fix that ASAP.
Thanks for reporting.

I dont have any inside information regarding the DDOS attack as I am not part of the team ( merely just helping taking care in answering some slight issue using my player - based experiences whenever the official team isnt around here to answer it ) .
The above explanation is purely speculations of mine however it seems it is highly unlikely because Moneypot was the one that was DDOSed . I have forwarded this to the development team and I will just let them answer this promptly ( should not be long though  Smiley )

-image snip-
I don't think it was a result of the recent DDoS, one because it was there from the beginning, and two because it has nothing to do with moneypot integration (directly).
Had seen it when I visited betterbets.io directly, and clicked Demo, but thought it was the issue on my end, then.

There is certainly no such trouble when you visit through moneypot or login. Not much of an issue to be honest. Smiley

Ahh thanks for clarifying anyway Im a dumb with tech things or so  Cheesy however I based that on mine and several user experiences that during the last DDOS the pop up happenned quite a bit so I thought it could be the same thing however I myself wasnt pretty much confident with that as well ( bolded references )

Certainly not a problem though if you are not on demo page because you will log in automatically through moneypot and of course this issue is kinda "hidden" because most of the regulars account is automatically log in so no one found this small issue before and apart from that no other issue is found though  Wink

thanks arallmuus to let us know about the demo version and that version has the same error as i just checked the demo version and it shows me the same error before this i never used that demo version, is that cause of recent DDOS attack?

When I go on the demo page all I get are JS popups saying "Error processing request".
Can't see any bets while this is happening.
Browser was Chrome.

I see the same error on Firefox, when I click "demo" before logging in my account.
The error doesn't seem to appear after I log in.

Yes Dean and Coef , thanks for reporting and I have forwarded this to the development and they will get back on you for this issue later. This thing is kinda hidden for the regular as the account is kept logged in so no one barely visit it in the demo mode though or it could be caused by the previous DDOS thats taking its toll ( I could be wrong on this since Im no expert on this but I ensure you this will be answered once development team get to my message )



maybe with your connectivity speed.

It could be just connection issue, I experienced the same error when I had a low/unstable connection.

Sometimes it happened because of the connection issue however this doesnt seem to be the case . Apart from the demo mode, everything works perfectly fine and rolls is as fas as usual  Smiley
6032  Economy / Economics / Re: Is bitcoin dead? on: July 29, 2015, 09:09:53 PM
We can't predict when bitcoin die or live, we should do know is to influenced other people like relatives, friends, etc. to use bitcoin, if we do that bitcoin will still alive.

Your post is pretty much uncomprehenable. There isnt anything that will make BTC "dead" , not about how many people use it or if the price is tanking to a dirt cheap price because what matter the most will be the technology of it. Common people cant see this which is why most of them tends to measure wether BTC is dead or not solely from the price alone and let alone the technology of it
6033  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: July 29, 2015, 09:09:15 PM
I wouldnt recommend savings at all.

Theres better investments that earn way more

This is pretty much wrong. First of all you should note that saving is not to be considered as investment. Saving is much about securing your money and investment is about getting interest from your capital.
Saving could be deemed as a form of investment because you get an interest in return for saving however things are pretty much different because the interest that you got from saving isnt covering the yearly inflation rate therefore you are losing but the main point of saving isnt about "getting more" but for "keeping purposes"
6034  Economy / Economics / Re: What don't we know about the Chinese economy? on: July 29, 2015, 08:41:21 PM
chinese economy is very good and very stable

Good , YES but not stable because it is increasing rapidly. The economics growth is pretty huge and it is deemed that their economics could be the largest by few years later

The greatest companies around the world invest money in China and build their factories there

There are two things that will attract investor to open up a factory in a foreign country which is High number of labor and low wages for the labor and China is the safe haven for that. The country's population has been keep on increasing and poverty is the main reason why there are tons of labor there, simply a low wages will just satisfy them rather than not being able to feed their family ( a harsh truth indeed but still a truth of the current situation )
6035  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Cost of Bitcointalk Accounts. on: July 29, 2015, 07:22:46 PM
When you guys are talking about the "banked activity" are you referring to a situation in which your account has less posts than activity points but the posts you have are spread out over the 2 week periods such that the account's activity will climb as soon as you post.  Or are you talking about the opposite situation where you have more posts than activity and as soon as another 2 weeks passes you get 14 more activity points (as long as you post at least once during that time period)?  I could see either situation being called "banked activity" but they're quite opposites.

They are talking about the first scenario but then again the bolded part isnt correct because you cant have less post than your activity ( just a matter of wording imo, it should be potential activity instead of just activity ) . This is what it called as "banked activity" . As for the second scenario, it is not a "banked activity" because nothing is banked for the second one. You get the activity that you supposed to get so there isnt anything that is banked
6036  Economy / Gambling / Re: BetterBets.io Bitcoin Casino ★VIP★15% Affiliate Bonus PLINKO|DICE|HORSE RACING on: July 29, 2015, 05:44:38 PM
its nice that you fix all the problems as soon as possible

Credits to the moneypot's team especially and as well as the other site owner in moneypot that helps. Thing is that if Moneypot is DDOSed , all the site there will be affected so its kinda like a team work to fix all of it

also the statistics are really high

The statistics to be honest is kinda low because of the DDOS . The daily BTC wagered could be higher but things happen and the site still pull through this with a significant amount as well . That serves as a proof that the house has been getting quite the attention lately  Wink

i would be curious to know how much people loose out of those 140 wagered all in all

It would be innapropriate to share the amount of player's loses ( eventhough I keep track most of it ) however one can always do a rough count with the house edge. The house edge of the site is 1 % so the amount of player's loses should be around 1.4BTC , due note that his is a rough count and it doesnt mean that the player is losing that much as the house could be losing as well
6037  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: 4Grinz Bitcoin Casino Official Thread on: July 29, 2015, 04:37:26 PM
Aha, I know your point, but my point is that people prefer playing funny, famous slots, although they are not provably fair cause in fiat world, casinos and players don't care about provably fair

Irony , people dont care about things being fair or not however this is irrelevant because this site isnt solely a fiat casino

On the contrary, the slots of big providers have prove their transparency

Transparency of what? There isnt any transparency apart from a shiny badges to flash that the game is provided by the XYZ game provider. Having a freespin, bonus rounds and big jackpot isnt a transparency either because in the end it will depends on the bankroll of the site.  This isnt a true fairness at all btw

are much better than provably fair slots.

The disability of proving if your game is fair or not isnt the true fairness. True fairness is when you can verify the bet of your own not because of being told that this game is fair because there are alot of people that has played it or alot of sites that use it.
6038  Economy / Gambling / Re: What's the fastest dice website? on: July 29, 2015, 02:56:40 PM
Low roll are usually somewhat slow because there are too many of them for the system to handle

Not true, it is not about how the number of the roll but every rolls will be recorded in the database thus if a site dont "slow down" the speed for the dust roll then it will cluter up the database which means the house will need to do a database maintenance more often otherwise the site will be slower.

With that being said, if OP looks for a fast site without any restriction to dust bet then BetterBets is the fastest

while high rolls are fast as lightning, if you are low roller you might never notice this feature.

Does high roller even use autobet? Turns out that uses the autobet mostly is dust bet

You can try for dice sites with fewer people playing to reduce lag.

Number of player isnt the factor that slower down your bet solely
6039  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: BTCJam Credit Rating System on: July 29, 2015, 07:05:08 AM
-snip-

Actually it looks like BTCJam is not consistent in the way they run there System or the recently changed it. My Reputation Loan Request got deleted and the Supporter wrote me i should link my Facebook and verify my Income (so he obv. did not looked at my account at all)
For a Plattform which is out more then 2 Year's it looks not that pro.


This happened to few others sometimes. The reason for that could be the lack of activity in your facebook so they thought that it isnt your real facebook ( dont know the reason of them to ask you to verify income again ). Sometimes suspicious reputation loan got flagged by the system, therefore you will see alot of reputational loan request disguised as "short term trading loan" with 1 week or earlier repayment.

So either i start "fake Loan" which i actually don't need or i have to live with my credit Rating.

It depends on the amount that you wish to loan. If it is a low amount then just bear with your rating for now and slowly build up your rating instead of going with the fast way
6040  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Does BTCJam recover your loses in any way? on: July 28, 2015, 09:40:18 PM
Last time I checked, btcJam is strict on the details of the borrowers there, so I think faking details would be hard

Faking details is never an issue there because I have got an arbitration award of someone that is actually a fake identity which I dont care because it is a small amount but the main point is there are currently a lot of potential scammer there. Pretty much the one that got profit there would be btcjam and the scammer.

the borrower had A+ rating, he got away pretty easy.

Which is the sad truth , even A+ ratings turn into a scammer once he got himself a lot of loan. Kinda a new scam in btcjam, build up yourself with alot of legit loans and ask for a chunk of it in the future just to grab it all away

It was a small sum and arbitration didn't affect it as it didn't go back that far in retrospect.

Unless you put on a large amount then pursuing the defaulter is simply a workload assuming he is not in the same country with you. The cost to bring a legal action to the defaulter might cause you a whole lot amount then the amount that you lend , simply not worth it
