His timeline seems to always be longer than first stated, unfortunately.  The "pay fee from balance link" statement he made a while back is still a question mark as technically right now we have our maintenance fee addresses available to pay in accounts, but not technically from a link to our coin balance.  That leaves room for interpretion that we should see previous owed coin balances, but only he can say if that will happen or not at this point.

Idk why he has continued to delay, but it's quite obvious he oversold shares, and I think he would like as many as possible to convert to hardware so he can clean this(his) mess up. 

As far as #3 I think he actually extended the deadline so he could put the answers up to some of the questions at least pertaining to hardware conversion.  When we all know we just want an answer on previous months balances first. 

That would be what I want to believe but since I had been paranoid with everything related to Chris and ltcgear , I am having a hunch that this "waiting for the answer" stuff gonna take a whole month process ( I could be wrong on this ) . Even if he oversold shares, there is no point in not communicating and tell the truth about it. I would be happy to be paid 50 % or less the amount that he owed me though I hate to be waiting in such desperation.

P.S : we will see how he pull these question before the conversion deadline, or we could face another deadline extension later on

Some time ago I had no problem to betting from uk, now Im getting like this :

Unfortunately, we can not accept bets from your jurisdiction, sorry.

Im not sure what do you mean by " some time ago " but it has been atleast a month since they decided to close their service to UK based player ( references below ). However a simple VPN / hola could solve this or simply ask a non UK player to set up a bet that you want, you will then only need to send your wager to the corresponding bet address

The UK Gambling Commission has written to online sportsbooks, bookmakers and casinos telling them to block anyone with a UK IP address.
Already, Direct Bet and the Fairlay Bitcoin betting exchange have implemented this today.
It's outrageous.

If you have little money ,invest in high risk high return stuff.

High risk high return stuff is mostly falls under the category of ponzis and stuff which basically translated into giving away your money to a stranger. This advice of yours is seriously bogus though if you actually have a small amount of money to begin with then following your advice would means losing it all. Much better to keep it save in the bank though

Nowadays banks no longer guarantee the safety of money

Banks can never guarantee anything because their guarantee is made up of words only

Not necessarly a scam, if you find a legit high reward investment, it can work out.

But you contradict yourself, first you say that save in a bank then you say bank doesnt guarantee anything, why would i use a bank?

How about reading thoroughly first? Im merely stating something that is in your common sense already. No one can ever guarantee anything because no one knows the future though ( this is pretty much common sense ).
Also if you read it thoroughly than you would have noticed that Im going against your argument that to start going for HYIP if you are low in capital , that would be just the same as giving away your money, much safer if you put it in the bank though

Does this statement means that there will be no live Q&A or that he will not answer the question too? You know Chris has a tendency to alter his words. Like from the past where he claimed in his last Q&A that the fee will be deducted from the balance but the fact is not like that so I kinda confused with his statement regarding this

The way I understand it is it won't be a live q&a, but he will answer the questions sent to him (probably not all as we know he may avoid some, but hopefully the important ones).
-snip-

That is how I read it myself as well. Call me paranoid but we have suffered alot due to his ability to alter his own words , example :

#1. Fees will be applied after 1 year = fees at the end of the year

#2. Fees will be deducted from your balance = no balance just a bill of fees

#3. Account will be cleared in waves next week = wait for atleast a month or two to get all of them cleared

And alot more others that I cant remember exactly. Also am I the only one thinking that he extended the deadline for conversion just because he wants all to convert to ASIC ? seems fishy to me ( I am paranoid about this stuff )

Nothing really to gain yet either from converting. Waiting for some specs was the way to go even if it's taking longer than you would like.  He did at least extend the deadline most likely for that very reason.

It will be months before anyone receive the miners , that is if only he really ship up the miners which I doubt because he could easily use that miner to pay up all the amount that he owed us

Also, he emailed TheMage back, and will not do a live Q&A.

Here is a Soccer comparison on an upcoming game in the Swiss League:
-snip-

This is not a secret anymore that Directbet has the lowest odd if you compare it with any sportbook around here . There has been already many complaints about this in their thread however the rating isnt based on solely the odds for the game , there are different factors that come into account .
For example it will be their support service, now you can try to contact the other sportsbook around here and see how fast they resolve your issue and then you can compare it with DIrectbet, there will be a major satisfaction level there !

The people who play there would be the same people who go to casinos and play slots, or roulette or most non-skill based games with large house edges.

In other words the people that dont know about house edge and stuff , that prefer to gamble blindly with hope that they will be lucky to win a significant amount from the house. There are far too many uneducated people about house edge and stuff no doubt about it.

I could imagine a lot of people would like the flashing slots over dice, finding it more entertaining to watch.

To be honest, those flashy slots seems entertaining however slots are known as a game with the highest edge in the industry. Plus that the slot isnt provably fair so it is like being told that the game is fair and there is no way to know anything about it

The bonuses (hidden behind rollovers) are enticing too (to those who don't see the little *).

Bonuses with rollovers is a way for casino to lure in more player because most people will just fail in the roll over process
6128  Economy / Gambling / Re: **Tournaments Daily!** TappaBit.com | A NEW PvP Social MINI Game on: July 18, 2015, 02:10:06 PM
The way the game is designed, makes it easy to cheat on. I didnt know this would be a big problem, at least for the begin.
I can see now how it can be a problem though, especially for the long term, which is all I care about.

Atleast someone notify you about this in the early stages otherwise it will be alot more reputation to be tarnished away later.

If there's an exploit to be found people then people will find it and then abuse it for all they can. It's sad but it's just part of the game really and businesses need to make sure their ship is watertight or these things will unfortunately happen.

This is always a concern about a skill based games. True fairness is eliminated in a skill based game because sooner or later someone will find an exploit / software to gain advantages over the other player. Even if this exploit will be patched later on, there will alway someone that will try to find another one in the future. Luck based game is kinda the true fairness though

Directbet how i can understand know if a soccer game is a live bet?

Corrected some of your words btw. You will know if the game is a live game if there is the word LIVE on it. The odds for a live game may varies depending on the progress of the game and if the match winner is almost be determined then you wont be able to bet on the winner already ( even if you could it will be 1.01 odds )

For other references to know wether the match is LIVE or not : http://flashscore.com/

Example, for today, Usa-Cuba, concaf cup, is possibile bet in live?

AFAIK, if Directbet offer a pre match odds for the game then you can always bet when the game is LIVE as well or you can hit the LIVE NOW button to check if it is available there

Found this as references (below), it seems someone asked this as well when their jackpot was 30,000 BTC

Bolded few points , it seems they are not holding the jackpot in form of BTC and the jackpot is a cumulative from all the games there so they might think that there is a tiny chance for players to hit all the jackpots altogether

It means that total jackpot amount from all games is over 30,000 BTC already - in real money, but spread around different games. -snip-
And yes, you will receive this money if you hit the jackpot! That's why we claim that BitCasino.io has the biggest total jackpot amount in bitcoin industry.

Oh, I see. They have a lot of games, each with a small jackpot, and added them all up to get the total.

So if we did the same at Just-Dice, where you can win up to 1050 BTC at 1%, up to 1050 BTC at 2%, etc., then you get an even bigger number. We have 989,900 such different games and that makes a total jackpot of 1 billion BTC!

Does it seem a bit silly to count it that way?

Bitcasino has a lot of "different games" though mostly are slots and they count it separately and sum them up for a bigger chunk of jackpot so thats kinda a bad wording for the sake of advertisement though.
From bitcasino.io perspective, it seems "1 dice game" counts as 1 game only. If they count it that way then they would have bigger jackpot for each of their slots since you can choose how many lines that you wish to play with

NO, they are using game providers such as NETENT , MICROGAMING and the others so there is no way to "verify" by your own

OK. I'm surprised people still play at such places after provable fairness was invented.

For us the true fairness is when you can verify your own bet however it doesnt seem to be that for some people
6131  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you expect from dice sites? on: July 18, 2015, 06:06:27 AM
There's been some changes lately with dice sites.  A lot of them are really tightening up their code and big wins even with okay betting strategy are few and far between. 

Totally wrong on this, codes stays the same and it is provably fair nothing more than that. I dont know which dice sites are you pointing your fingers too but there hasnt been any significant changes lately


But more than that... what's with the commercialism of rubber stamped sites?  all this special "moneypot" login stuff... is it just a gill net approach?  Pretty weird/slash annoying.

What are you trying to say? Trust issue is one of the significant reason why some sites are using moneypot's API apart from its bankroll. If you take your little time to read a few pages back , you can see alot of post that indicates that trust factor is one of the reason for them to play

Now the question will be, who will trust such a one day old casino/dice sites with large amount of funds ?also that not to mention if the provably fair is rigged

This is how moneypot's API come in handy because you dont need to trust the new casino owner but you only needs to trust moneypot for that. Your funds are secured by moneypot and they checked the provably fair automatically.
This is not a rubber stamped if you actually take your time to check one of those moneypot integrated casino or take your time to read it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1020726.0

If you are not aware, moneypot's owner = bustabit owner ( Ryan ). He may not be as famous as Stunna / Dooglus but you can trust him with your funds
6132  Economy / Gambling / Re: SPORTSBOOK RANKINGS ~ USER GENERATED & MOST ACCURATE (PLEASE CONTRIBUTE) on: July 18, 2015, 05:56:52 AM
I suspect the reason Directbet gets so many people rating them is because of their giveaways, free BTC (even if it's only 0.01 BTC or less) is a pretty effective way of creating goodwill.

To be honest thats could be the reason that most people voted them apart from their innovative feature that allow you to bet without having an account. Furthermore , I do think that they deserve a better rating than the others because apart from their generous giveaway , they got the best support ever that reply to your query within split of time. Most sportsbook' support here takes some time before addressing your query

P.S : for some people including me, the best of the services is judged from the how responsive their support is
6133  Economy / Economics / Re: Big Exchange Manipulation ??? on: July 17, 2015, 11:45:57 PM
the volume is ridiculous now...

I dont see anything that seem ridiculous to me and the volume is pretty normal. There may have been some Inside trading to manipulate volume ( some chinese exchanger did it ) however the volume is totally normal

it's imposible to make good trades

Depends on your definition about what a good trade because basically you can always get some profit from this market if you know how to do it right. There has been some waves to follow and if you positioned yourself right then profit is guaranteed otherwise you will be just another victim for the market

I cant imagine serious traders to come in bitcoin market

If it is possible to get profit then traders will come

Awarded to arallmuus for bet id 38231960

Confirmed that I received it !

Ifyou use moneypot api for your casino u can just provide max profit to players of 0.2 btc. Its very low.

Wrong, the max profit depends on the Moneypot's bankroll as well as the house edge for the site. Since bitcoinrush is a site with 0.1 % house edge therefore the max profit will be

0.1 % house edge x 1 x Moneypot's bankroll = ~0.225 BTC max profit

If a Moneypot site is using the standard edge of 1 % then the max profit ( betterbets.io for example )  will be

1 % house edge x 1 x Moneypot's bankroll = 2.25 BTC max profit

P.S : bankroll has increased since I last posted it

maybe needs licensed as for answer this question

Hmm what? unless you are not aware yet but bitcasino.io is a licensed casino (references below) and also you should note that a license is probably nothing except that you are not restricted by any gambling law in some countries. That is not much significant difference than a non licensed trusted site anyway

I think the coingaming has those 69K bitcoins somewhere stored in the chance of someone so crazy to bet like 100 mbtc per roll or something Smiley

Or they keep it in form of FIAT like that the references that I quoted above however this is a bad practice for BTC casino to keep their bankroll in form of FIAT since there is no way to verify if they actually own the funds

Is this site legit?

Depends on what your definition about legit it. So far there is no complain about withdrawal and such that I've ever seen here

63900 BTC is a very big jackpot. Do they really have that much? Did they sign an address that holds enough coins?

Found this as references (below), it seems someone asked this as well when their jackpot was 30,000 BTC

Bolded few points , it seems they are not holding the jackpot in form of BTC and the jackpot is a cumulative from all the games there so they might think that there is a tiny chance for players to hit all the jackpots altogether

And yes, you will receive this money if you hit the jackpot! That's why we claim that BitCasino.io has the biggest total jackpot amount in bitcoin industry.

And are the games provably fair? I'm not finding any details about how to verify the fairness.

6138  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is your trading strategy? on: July 17, 2015, 08:16:46 PM
I think if he wants to recoup his losses, he must do a gamble again: Buy now 200 btc, or less if you can afford. then wait for the next price burst, and sell them.

Thinking of trading as a form of gambling is what makes people fail to recoup their losses. Trading is not gambling and if you dont know what you are doing then probably the best way is to stay away from trading otherwise this will be just another way to lose some money. Plus that you dont need a price burst to sell it because there is always a small rally or waves that you can actually take advantages from

If there is a software/plugin to ensure that you will hit the number close to zero then admin will need to ensure their system to be able to hold this kind of software/plugin/ bot off . If this is the case then what they need is a better checking / security system from bot and such
however if this "software" is actually an auto clicker that was set to click once every 60 seconds then coding the site to be using a variance timer is unneeded because it can be abused as well

5 to -5 = 10 seconds timeframe
6 to -6 = 12 seconds timeframe , therefore a simple auto clicker software can be set to click on specific timeframe

So to prevent this kind of abused by autoclicker, what the site will need is to put in some "rest time" between each round. The rest time will be invisible and ranging from 0.00 - 5.00 which occurs randomly therefore the patten cant be predicted

P.S : this is if the "software" is an auto clicker as Im not entirely sure what software this is

Yes this! What exactly i said before, Its auto clicker.

He need to add time varience in the site to ensure that some one cant use these type of software.

Hmm, I seems to be missing things but I had recheck and NO you didnt mention that it is an autoclicker software. You wrote "software" and "trick" on your previous posts and perhaps you mentioned about autoclicker in the site's chatroom but I werent there so that is just an assumption from me based on your clues "software" ( I knew this stuff since day 1 it launched but never try it though )

It seems you missed the point of my posts although that I described it clearly I think. Making variances like that wont work because the pattern could be predicted and I have stated a better proposal on how to counter the autoclicker which is by giving a "rest time" which is not visible and random from 0.00 - 5.00

If you insist on making variances to the timer then there is a way to do it which is by making the variances random instead of a constant and predictable variances that you proposed but this will be an extra workload for the dev
6140  Economy / Gambling / Re: **Tournaments Daily!** TappaBit.com | A NEW PvP Social MINI Game on: July 17, 2015, 06:41:55 PM
You have to putt the variable counting like 5 to -5 in one Round, and in other round it should be like 6 to -6 like that.

This is kinda useless thing to implement to the site because the main point of the game is about the closest click at 0 and there is no point to add such variance to the game and it will be just another workload for the dev. The site need a shorter timeframe but your suggestion is pretty much out of the line

I do prefer if the site change the countdown into 15 to -5 , Thats 20 seconds / round and the reason would be that player it is kinda useless to wait for a such a long rounds because basically no one will click it anymore if it is more than -5 seconds already

People are using different software to get to the closer to zero, if the time frame remain the same.

If there is a software/plugin to ensure that you will hit the number close to zero then admin will need to ensure their system to be able to hold this kind of software/plugin/ bot off . If this is the case then what they need is a better checking / security system from bot and such
