I don't think segvec is a scammer, he didn't reply to my message after I mentioned that we could use escrow. This still doesn't look like a scam attempt in any way though so there is no reason to accuse him.

I'll just point out the obvius and say that just by having a look at your account we're able to see posts you made about mining the coin back from Summer.

CoinBase seizes accounts?

It's not like this is a thing they do to every account but depositing to gambling websites (or any business that is considered unlicensed/illegal according to US law) is against their ToS. That' the reason I left coinbase back in August, here's a post I made back then.

1 reputation (will the site let you withdraw if you win?)
2 provable fairness (can they prove that the rolls are fair?)
3 house edge (satoshidice has 1.9% house edge, most have 1%)
4 speed (some sites have very fast betting)
5 crowd-fundedness (can you invest in the bankroll?)
6 community (is there chat? is it good?)
7 novelty (do they offer anything different like range bets, jackpots, etc.?)
8 design (safe-dice looks pretty)

1 Knowing that the website I'm going to be putting my coins at has gained a good reputation over paying everyne exactly as promised is a big relief.

2 Provable fairness has become a must in bitcoin gambling. Knowing that a game doesn't have system to verify bets will stop most from playing it altogether.

3 Being able to bet against a smaller house edge is what in my opinion made dice websites popular, although for me a 0.9% more doesn't seem to makes that of a difference.

4 Being able to gamble without a significant delay between each bet is an great advantage bitcoin gambling can offer and websites should take advantage of this. I don't really like it when there's a delay between dice rolls.

5 After the recent events, I wouldn't really say that I like crown funded dice websites. Not only is a huge sum of money being handled by a handful of people, but the small house edge exposes investors more than it would expose owners of the website. In my opinion, seing an opperator being (financially) heavily invested in his own website shows comitment.

6 It's always nice to hang around and chat about various topics. But bitcoin attracts the interest of all kinds of people so someone's got to mainstain a positive spirit in the community as well. It's not always a pleasure to talk with people in gambling website chats so I'm leaving this sixth.

7 To me the low house edge while I still have the ability to play whenever you want, with (almost) whatever amount and with speedy dice rolls with the ability to set the odds on my own is more than I'd ever ask from a gambling website.

8 I don't need eye candy.

Also, instant withdrawals and a decent max win are fome features I care about.

But there's also a thing I'm always looking at although not many people seem to be taking it seriously. How the website pays out, I'd prefer a website paying withdrawn coins from random addresses rather than paying every withdrawal through the same hotwallet that could be marked as (x gambling site's wallet) in the blockchain.

Hmm... I think your house edge is too low. But hey, it's your game. (Peerbet runs on zero house edge, on PvP, because a bigger site supports it, or it's revenues are from ads.)

Peerbet's main feature used to be their PvP no house edge raffle. The only reason this has no house edge is because it's purely PvP, no risk for the website. They just act as a middleman. They now have two new games, The dice has the common 1% edge and wheel 3.125%. Peer dice was suposed to have a 0.3% house but it had some PvP influences and It was quite weird tbh. I can't really tell exactly how it worked since they've now removed it from their website.

Oh come on, that was far from being ridiculous. I'm not focusing on you, I had a simple question and you failed miserably to defend the legitimacy of your project. If you actually believe that sexism in video games is indeed a serious issue it should be easy for you to explain why you do so. Anita indeed goes far trying to prove video games are sexist and I'll agree that she ads alot of references and examples to her videos, you're entitled to believe what she says if you want to so I'm not going to argue about that. But let's be honest, there was never real evidence brought up that what is depicted in video games directly affects society, quite the opposite I would say. Several studies have found that violence in video games has no connection with violent behaviours in the real world. With the same logic, even if video games are indeed sexist, why would they have an impact on society? That's why I don't see this as an important issue. You think this issue is so important Αnita deserves your donations yet you can't answer the simple question why? And I'm really sorry for going on attack mode here, but you could have simply answered my question instead of just accusing me for being ridiculous.


To answer your question: I do actually still play video games, usually only when friends invite me to but I still do. I often even play with female friends. To mention some of the games I played and enjoyed recently: League of Legends, Guns of Icarus Online, Ryse: Son of Rome, Minecraft and Hearthstone. I playied Super Mario back then, probably that's the only sexist (according to Anita) video game I played.

See? Answering questions ain't that hard.

Their miner contains very nasty malware! Do not install!! If you accidentally install get ready to do a full OS reinstall.

Did you check that on your own? Can you tell us what type of malware it is? We should probably put out a scam accusation.

tjohej, care to answer this question for me? Why is the sexism in video games you're talking something important for you?
6092  Economy / Economics / Re: [CNN Money] Six banks fined more than $4 billion in currency probe on: November 13, 2014, 11:17:24 AM
Do they pay the fines with real money or just invent some like loans to repay Smiley... i've always wondered that.

What bugs me most is that we don't know where exactly those fines are paid to and how are they going to fix any of potential the problems the banks caused by the price manipulations.

I'd mention that www.hackforums.net also have a cryptocurrency section but I wouldn't recomend this forum to anyone. Aside of a handful of comunity members it seems like there's no one else there able to engage on meaningful discussion.

You should probably keep up with this forum: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3543334

It provides the most comprehensive history and in-depth look at all the comedy that is BTC. 

Isn't somethingawful something like the forum equivalent of 4chan?

ICO itself is an investment, like ventture capitalists investing in a startup.



What is troubling is how developers use fake alt accounts to join ICO and create false impressions of the coins' popularity. This counts as fraud.


You just contradicted yourself.
6098  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Don't invest in ICO shit, idiots... on: November 11, 2014, 06:05:32 AM
not every ICO is a scam but ppl like this ruin it for the good guys.

Every ICO is a scam one way or another. The idea that people invest into a concept that hasn't been proven yet in return of an Intial Coin Offering sounds nothing more than a scam itself.
Is kickstarter a scam? before that it was developers adding stuff in coins and pump it to get paid.

You don't get my point, kickstarter campaigns are not ICOs, they're crowdfunding campaigns and usualy the people that create them are using their real identity and the concept they're gathering money for has already been proven or is close to doing so. Big bold differences there.

But that's just a couple of sentences there. You can also have a look at this article-like post I made, describing why I believe ICOs have ultimately no reason to exist in the first place.

For about a year now, I've been working with several Bitcoin related websites. My use of the English language is excellent and I'm fully experienced with cryptocurrencies and especially bitcoin as I've been involved since early 2013. I specialize in news coverage but I can also do ghostwriting and take most content creation requests for blogs and websites related to cryprocurrencies and technology in general.
 
I'm always excited to work for new projects, I'd be glad to help you get started with your new website/blog/venture etc. and won't mind arranging a special deal if you're in need of assistance with your new and upcoming business. If you're interested, please let me know and I'll happily send you a more detailed sum of information about me along with my portfolio and my business email address.
