Since I do use yobit and I saw this thread I went in and took a look.
But it looks to be 94 hours (4 days) till the next race. Makes you wonder how many people are actually playing if it's that long between rounds.
I might drop a little coin at some point in time, but it's not going to be any real gambling due to the time involved.
I am more of a get in...play...get out...person.

Has anyone been having any issues with performance with the September 26 image?
I wiped both of mine for different reasons and downloaded the newest one and although I can't give any hard and fast numbers it just feels like there was a performance hit.
I am wondering if they did something to help with the heat issue.
No help on the RPi forums so I figured I would ask here.
Thanks,
Dave

2 quick thoughts 1) You might be better off posting here on the Currency exchange board to get payal for your BTC and they buy it yourself: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0If I change my address to ship it shows up as an unverified address since there would be no way to link my account to that address. A lot of eBay sellers will not ship to an unverified address. (I will not) 2) If you don't want to post the item itself at least post how much it is. There is a difference between a .05 BTC deal and a .0025 BTC and different people will be interested. -Dave |

Yeah, it's been close to 18 hours.
I was in game 1621 that had an End Time of:2019-10-11 19:49:19 according to your site
I then played 1622 just after that. Nobody else yet.
This is a problem. Need the bot, or at least send an email to users saying that there is a game pending.

3 hours later and still nobody.
You really need to either get the bot back or start some sort of campaign to get more people here to play.
Just my view as with all things YMMV.

So. I know nobody really cares and most of you think it's a waste of time. But too bad. You get to read about the project. Expect a post here every now and then. For today's excitement. The box came in with the parts. Nothing else to report.  -Dave |

So sitting here round #1621
My bet is in. No bots, no other players.
And yes I am playing with ETH.
Just sitting and waiting.

Sigh.....It's working on an old block again.
Luke can you ping out to WK again?
I really think it's time to call it quits on this. I'm pulling eligius out of my backup pool rotation.

Not sure if this should be discussed here or in the Development & Technical Discussion board or some other board.
According to your write up, the blips when a block is found are somewhat of a giveaway to the fact that you are running a node. You also state that generating enough other traffic will shield you.
Now assuming you didn't throw a flag when doing your initial 200+GB sync do you feel normal bittorrent traffic would be enough to shield you?

@webtricks not sure if you are still paying attention to this thread during your ban but, the site seems to be having issues. Dozens of PHP errors are popping up when you go to it.

Both HCP and TryNinja are correct but they forgot an important instruction.
MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR WALLET FILE (default_wallet) BEFORE DOING ANYTHING.

What kind of testing and research would you need 50 for? Every once in a while someone pops up asking for testnet coins not realizing that for the most part 50 or 5 or .5 or .05 are all the same for testing things. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5176570-Dave |

Duplicate them for the purpose of making something similar to Piper wallet and sell it? Paper wallets have always been considered as the cheapest option for cold storage so personally, I don't think that these devices are worth it (not for most people at least). I also don't think anyone would pay money for something that he could get for free, especially when it's something as easy as downloading an OS and running it offline. If someone wants to invest to secure his funds, he should spend them on a hardware wallet, which is a lot more convenient for spending.
Not "sell it" sell it. More along the lines of a how to guide with the kit from adfruit, an updated image / apps sd card and some other tweaks. I don't have the time or the ability to build and produce them. I have no idea how the new printer and RPi will work with some of the old apps that they put together so I am guessing that it's going to take a bit of fiddling to get it to work. Might be a little or a lot, will not know until I put one together to see what happens. The post was more of a "would anyone be interested in it if I did get it to work". -Dave |

For those of you who don't know or remember years ago (2013) there was a company that made a product called The Piper Wallet. It was basically a RPi and a thermal printer in a case that spit out a paper wallet when you pressed a button:  It was never super popular and eventually they stopped making it. They tried back in August to make a version 2 based off a Game Boy Advance and it didn't go far: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/piperwallet/piperwallet-easy-and-secure-bitcoin-paper-walletsI did not even see any discussion of it here so I don't know if that was the issue for the V2. I don't reply to every thread I see but I really did not see anything about this at all. I don't know if he will try again or what his plan is with the new version. With that being said, adafruit has a kit with a thermal printer, case and the button for $115. The only thing missing is the switch. https://www.adafruit.com/product/1289I was thinking of ordering one and seeing if I could duplicate the original. Good idea? Stupid waste of time and money? Just looking for some input. Will not have time till November / December to do any of it anyway but was wondering what people thought about it. -Dave |

A fun games and another nice way of killing some time for a few sat.
It's nice to see people taking a basic gambling theme and adding to it. Yeah, it's the same crash game and such but the sounds / animation do make it a bit more fun to play.

Since there has been nobody asking about this I am guessing that the $250 price is too expensive.
Give me an idea of what it is worth (and your offer) and I'll pass it along.
If not it just sits here mining away.
Edit: As of 9-Oct it was dropped to $225 due to Phil's info below. I can still send him an email if you want with an offer if you want it. He does not want to put it out much below that because it is still making him some small profit.

took me a bit to find that there was no deposit button, that you had to try to play the game with no money in your account before it gave you an invoice to load more. You might want to change that. One of the great benefits of the Lightning Network is the transaction speed: there's no need to deposit first, as it only takes a few seconds to deposit. Yeah, I know lightning is just about instant. And it's quick to deposit and play, not debating that point. But I just felt it was not intuitive. Just my view....I have no BTC in my account so I am not going to hit the spin button. Usually if you try that it just pops up an error that you need to deposit not with a way to deposit. -Dave |

Just found a discussion about this from another site that was discussing the lightning network. Played the 10 sat that they give you and lost.
Found the withdraw button easy enough, took me a bit to find that there was no deposit button, that you had to try to play the game with no money in your account before it gave you an invoice to load more. You might want to change that.
You also might want to bump this thread now and then since the last post was over 3 months ago so it was way back in the pages.

Just because I had this happen.
When restoring from very old core wallets (wallet.dat) keep in mind that you might have to use the same OS (Linux / Win / Mac) as the original file.
Not sure why, but I could not import a 0.7.1 wallet.dat from a Linux box into a Windows one. Gave a corrupt error and shutdown.
Popped the file into a CentOs like it was originally on and no issues.
Moved the updated wallet.dat back to the Windows machine and all was good. So it was something with the older version of the wallet.dat from a foreign OS
I can't think why there would be a reason for this to be happening, because as far as I know the current Bitcoin Core versions should be fully backward compatible with older versions, and the wallet.dat doesn't hold any information on what OS was used during creation. However, alternatively you could have imported the private key instead of running the original OS that the wallet was created on, unless you haven't backed up your private key. There's the other option of importing your seed which was generated at the creation of the wallet too. AFAIK, there should not be any problems with importing older wallet.dat files into newer operating systems even if they're different. Personally, I don't rely on the wallet.dat file, and have backups of my private keys which I took care in making sure they never touched a electronic device, and aren't stored in plain text. Although, I still have hot wallets like anyone else, but the majority of my Bitcoin is stored via these offline generated private keys. I believe a certain version of Electrum abandoned backwards compatibility a few years ago, but I'm not sure if I'm recalling that correctly, and even then I don't think Bitcoin Core in its history has rejected backward compatibility. Of course, even if older software isn't backward compt I know it should not matter, but it did. And the only reason I even thought about going back to the Linux box was there was a post someplace (here / reddit / somewhere) with somebody having the same issue that I saw a long time ago. So there were at least 2 people with the issue before this. The one who had it and the one who told him the solution. So, since also happened to me, I figured it was worth a mention. The only thing I can come up with, and this is a stretch, is that there was a very minor difference with some versions of the DB, depending on the OS and how you compiled it. But that is really pulling something out of the air and grasping for a reason. -Dave |
