621  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Scammer alert @XiaDefi on Twitter on: October 28, 2023, 06:50:40 AM
Ok, someone on Twitter stepped in and talked to the girl. She apologized and offered to do 2RT for the price of 1 that I paid her. So I told her that once the order follows through I will clear her name.
Also, maybe it's a guy, but I just assumed its a girl based on the photo.

EDIT: she has posted. I no longer have any complaint with her.

Well, usually i see the issues for this forum are resolved when brought to the notice of everyone on the Scam Accusations thread, but this is just one of the issues resolved which didn't have the direct link to the bitcoin talk forum. (as i assume she [@xiadefi on X] does not have a bitcointalk account).


After reading all of the conversations of you people I can surely say that you are an easy target for such scammers. She threated you that she will distrust you and you sent her crypto without knowing that is she legit or not. By the way, why would someone send $50 to an account with 52k followers only? I think you will have to understand that many people on twitter have more than 52k followers and they might charge you less then $50 for a retweet.

I don't know which project OP wanted to promote (or if it was even a project), but yes, if he could start a bounty for that project, he can get better effective marketing (with many tweets / retweets) as compared to get only two retweets for 50$.

friendly BTCump
so that this ms-application doesn't fall into oblivion, i bring it back to the top with this post and hope that my homie from the east @icopress Grin will get the permission to serve as merit source in the whole forum someday Wink

Almost three months have gone since the icopress applied his application for the merit sources. I have not read any single post not voting for him to the merit source. But still, the decision is pending from theymos end. I do not know how long he would have to wait before becoming a merit source.

In my point of view, there are few people who deserve to be merit sources, as they are doing some great work for the community and he is one of them.

Yep, somehow this can create spam and repetitve statement about 1xbit but I think it's the best way for us to inform newbies in this forum and other outside this forum, we speaking currently shows that this casino haven't reclaimed their legitimacy and is still inactive not clearing their name. To be honest, accusation in this casino is pretty useless at this point because there's nothing that this forum can so to the victim, this casino won't even budge to nogotiate or reply to those scam accusation,

I just hope one day that this thread will appear on the top of every search engine if someone search 1xbit in the internet, in that way, potential victims might avoid thr disaster of being scammed by this casino.

Usually, the majority of the gamblers will not search for the reviews of the gambling sites before playing at any casino and hence they get scammed if they land on a scam casino such as 1xbit, deposit and play there.

As far as bumping of this thread is concerned, it will always be bumped by anyone who played at 1xbit, got scammed and will try to ask the officials here for help. He does not know that no one from 1xbit here is to help them, rather this thread was created to promote the scam services.

I don't think mods will not lock the thread, giving it an equal opportunity with other gambling Ann threads to compete but when the casino is scam, the ANN thread will also be filled with scam accusations and warnings, as it is now. I don't think this ANN is doing anything good for the 1xbit casino.

Plagiarism is a concept you learn during higher education.
~snip~

I would not really agree with that, because good or bad habits are adopted at an early age, when children should already begin to understand what is good or bad. If we consider that conscious plagiarism is a form of theft, we can conclude that this person has never understood that it is a bad thing to take something from someone else and say "it's mine".

In the online world, such inappropriate behavior is even more pronounced because the person who does it hides behind anonymity, and if he lives in an environment where he has never had problems with the law because he stole something, then how can you even explain to him that plagiarism is something bad?

That damned AI Chat is for some of them a gift they couldn't even dream of, and I consider it one of the biggest threats to human creativity and online communication.

Well, Plagiarism is totally a crime and I do not think you need to learn it during higher education, it's common sense which should be known to everyone.
Plagiarism is like theft, where you write someone else content and claim it to be yours. Those who are involved in Plagiarism, already know that they are doing it wrong.

Using ChatGPT or AI is not a crime as you can use it in some scenario's, but if you use it for posting or writing blogs/articles, then this is the same as doing a plagiarism. You need to put in your effort and do not copy paste stuff from AI else why the companies hire people to write content, they could use the AI tools if the purpose is to write via a bot.

I don't know if you noticed or not, but the free faucet Bitcoin money has been reduced recently. The minimum payout every hour was 6 Satoshi which is not reduced to 5 Satoshi. I wonder if it is due to the recent surge in the bitcoin prices.

This means that in the next bull market when the price will be over all time high, this faucet payout will be further decreased?
What is the minimum value you people have witnessed for this faucet?



Click on that "i" next to it on the table. That's where we put the information you're looking for.

When i click on the "i" icon it states
Quote
Play MULTIPLY BTC or buy lottery tickets to increase your minimum prize


Yes, I know how to multiply BTC and how to participate in the lottery but this icon does not mention the question that I asked.
Is there any predefined measure for reducing this free faucet value when the btc price is increased and soon when bitcoin reaches its all time high, it may be reduced to 1 satoshi too?
626  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: signature campaign Vs review campaign on: October 27, 2023, 08:11:36 AM
I think a signature campaign is the best for an advertisement and lure a new user to your platform and a review campaign can be used as a tool to know more about your platform based on user perspective and sometimes can improve your site too.

Doing both is actually a great idea.
oh you can also post your ad on a third-party platform like Google Ads when your site complies with their rules

Again this depends on the type of service in question. If it is a gambling site, i don't think a review campaign is needed for that site as everyone is used to gambling and there is no technical stuff involved in it. Only a long-running signature campaigns for gambling sites is better.

When it comes to the mixer, a review campaign is also good not only to test the bugs in the site, but when people report positive views about the mixer, it increases the credibility of the mixers. A signature Campaign is no doubt necessary for mixers as well. For any project that wants to promote their business, a signature campaign is the minimum they should think of and allocate funds to it.

For example, what is an "offline computer "? It is a computer that was never and will never connect to the internet. It is theoretically beautiful,  but practically it is not so simple and one little mistake is fatal.

How will you transfer the signed transaction? Pen drive? What if it is infected?


Well, you are right to the extent that the pen drive may contain viruses but then we are connecting Pen drive to the air gapped computer where the interent will never touch that device. So now, let suppose, a malware comes in the air gapped device through usb drive, but that malware cannot transfer data out to the internet because that device does not have access to the Internet.

just buy a hardware wallet. This is way safer for 99% of the people.

Still it depends as many people may buy it from offline and online stores and not from the official store and sometimes it has issues with tempered firmware etc if bought from third party.
Open source hardware wallet like Trezor is good alternative but i think using an air gapped device on a Tails OS is much better than using a Ledger hardware wallet which is closed source. (You need to be a bit technical in order to create an air gapped tails OS USB).

What they didn't realize is that before these gamblers gained big profits, they incur limitless losses at first until such time that their luck comes in and make them experience on how to make big wins. But we all know that the house won't allow us consistently winning, the reason why a lot of gamblers still losing all their profits in the end and eventually return the money in the casino's house.

Gambling is not advertised as it is a risky game but it is more shown as a quick money making game with a lot of fun and entertainment. How often we see the gambling houses advertising that people lost their money from their site, they will always show the positive winnings of the gamblers so that the other people also join and gamble at their site.

It's very hard for any individual to gambling without looking at the financial aspects of the gambling. Yeah, people spend money on entertainment like watch a movie etc and they never regret that they spend the money for the ticket but when it comes to gambling, they will feel sad once they lose in gambling most probably because gambling does not provide so much fun but yeah the attractiveness of gambling lies with the hope of making money in seconds.
630  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: "Mattress Mack" loses nearly 10 million dollars on Astros Loss on: October 26, 2023, 08:17:22 PM
I won't want to blame the individual you mentioned for being obsessed with gambling to have risk such an amount,  but then from his behaviour as you analyzed,  it looks like something may not be right with the guy,  I won't say he is addicted anyways but the possibility of that also is high in this situation.

Who knows what's the real reason why that guy was yelling at him?

As I understand it, there could be chances that since Mattress Mack won so much money betting (approximately 75 million in last year in the World Series), people might try to copy him, bet big amounts, lose and then become frustrated on such popular personalities. They become jealous when they see people like Mattress Mack winning such big amounts while they are always on the losing side.

Also usually people do not earn a million dollars in a lifetime while Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale places a bet with the amount of $1 million.
This uneven distribution of money is another reason why anyone can scream at the person who is being so lucky in life, expressing his own hopelessness and frustrations.
631  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: who Want To Bet On 2024 USA elections? on: October 26, 2023, 03:00:27 AM
Kennedy will not get more than 2 percent of the votes, pools could show whatever but he has absolutely no chance of getting anything more than 2. They may say his name now, but when it comes to actual voting people like to vote on people that have a chance to win, we all know that he has no chance of winning and that means people will not vote on someone who has guarantee of losing the election.

Polls are different because of this, they are just asking people who would they rather see as president and I am sure that there are 9-22% people who would like to see Kennedy as president I have no doubt about that but the reality is that even they know he will not be the president and they are going to avoid voting for him when the time comes because of this reason. He will get max 2% and the rest will be between Biden and Trump, they were both terrible presidents so people will not vote much if you ask me, they will not care, whoever wins, USA loses.

I also have the feeling that the poll results and the actual presidential results are different. Also if you say that people do not like both their personalities and won't for none, this is also not going to happen and it is only the opinion on social media.
On election day, you will see the pooling booth full of voters casting their votes.

Since there is a whole year to the election, the election campaign can influence the decision of the people. People will judge the candidates not only on their previous performances but at the same time their stance on the Russia / Ukraine war and also on their point of view about the Israel Palestine conflict.

They will definately be more sophisticated for developers and easy to play for gamers.

29 out of 40, or 72.5% of the top video game companies by market cap, have ventured into web3 to varying extents. This includes directly investing in web3 gaming projects, blockchain game development, or hiring for blockchain-related positions. Yet, only seven, or 24.1%, of the 29 are in the midst of developing blockchain games: Take-Two Interactive, Nexon, Bandai Namco, Konami Holdings, Krafton, Square Enix, and Ubisoft.



I can understand the importance of game companies having their presence in the Web 3 space, but don't you think that when it comes to the Play to Earn model, that needs to be revived completely?
There will be more blockchain games being developed and the gaming Industry dynamics may shift completely from what it is at the present moment but still it will be interesting to see how the development proceeds for the future of the P2E model.

To be honest, this gaming web3 technology needs to be matured to provide a long-lasting experience to gamers through blockchain gaming.
633  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for October on: October 23, 2023, 05:53:24 PM
Near term bullish vs that June through August fall trend that resulted in the waterfall end to it.  This contrast from immediate action to that older historic action and any prior selling above 30k is probably going to take something extra to overcome.   We'll need to pullback and confirm a level that still equates to bullish foothold before properly rising ?
  It'd be nice to end the year at the highs and beyond any prior price achieved but thats the fairy tale ending I dont know we get it or deserve it just yet.  BTC is best when the price action earns its place after defeating sellers and leaving them worse off then it might pick up momentum.
To arrive at the last Ath I think it's impossible for BTC in Athun, considering that the movement is also a little slower and it is not possible to be achieved with the next two months, there must be an event that makes Bitcoin to that point, if limited to potential From the moving chart it will be difficult in my opinion, while BTC Dominance is not so strong and still gathering its strength to push even higher.

Today, even though BTC is at the $ 31K harag level, it is not necessarily that BTC will continue to move, and the $ 30K level has not been clearly confirmed to be the strongest support, we need time to maintain prices at $ 30K to be a logical support price.

I think the Bitcoin prices not in a bullish state right now even though we have cross the 30000$ mark. Also this is the beginning of the week when we see the price break that 30k mark I won't be surprised if by the end of the week we may again go down making it a false break.

But still I will not recommend to short  the Bitcoin because we are approaching near the halving and most probably Bitcoin will move upwards more than the downward direction.

If you want to invest then it's a good time to buy Bitcoin but you need to be careful if you're trading bitcoin for short term at this moment.
634  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: October 23, 2023, 04:56:05 PM

Today Afghanistan doing impressive job specially after winning against England their moral is high, and they are feeling comfortable with today playing with four spinners was really brave decision which works for them even in last five overs both Shadab and Iftikhar done good job for Pakistan but still this is not enough as now Afghanistan openers are also having very aggressive approach against Pakistan useless attack which is having no depth and quality for taking early wickets in this event which is the biggest failure for them.
Pakistani spinners are also not effective as they need to be right now look like Afghanistan is going to have their first win against Pakistan in ODI and World cup Usama Mir and Haris Rauf both concede 53 runs in 7 overs which is clearly favoring Afghanistan.

Since the Afghanistan had won the team England,which are the legend in the field of the cricket.The Afghanistan going to rock this time World Cup,because they already won the England and now targeting the team Pakistan.Now Afghanistan need only 12 runs from 19 balls,So the win of the Afghanistan was almost confirmed one.So this win of the Afghanistan will make them to move to the top 6 position.Even they can book their slot into the Semi finals,if they continue their winning like this.It’s essential to keep their good game to all the upcoming games after today Pakistan game.Today game surely change the point table inverted to current table.
Congratulations to the Afghanistan team Afghanistan won by eight wickets against Pakistan. It is as if we are seeing Afghanistan in a new form in this World Cup because they beat England and entered the points table who are the current champions. Today, Afghanistan defeated a strong team like Pakistan by 8 wickets. They started the 2023 World Cup very positively for Afghanistan as if the whole world is getting to know Afghanistan in a new way. Afghanistan team has got two wins against big teams and now it seems that Afghanistan has the ability to beat all teams. Congratulations again to the Afghanistan team.

Run rate has come down after Gurbaz got out, this may put pressure on Afghans at tail overs and may lose further wickets, although they have plenty left.

Aside from that, Ibrahim Zadran appears nervous about his hundred  Tongue

Edit: Ibrahim gone, literally the moment I posted this comment. Fear is disease, humans can't help it.

Pakistan lost the match against Afghanistan. I think Pakistan lost start when Usama Mir did bowl and Rizwan dropped the catch.

In this match, we again see that Pakistan's fielding is very poor, Pakistan lost the match because of today's fielding, and we saw the same in the Australia's match, where they had a poor display of fielding.

In both matches, Pakistan's fielding is not as good as it should be. That was an important match for Pakistan to qualify in the Semi-Final and Pakistan lost it, now Pakistan has just one chance which is to win all the remaining matches and if Pakistan lost any one match of the remaining matches, then they are dependent on other teams as usual.
635  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Nigeria socialite went all in on this sport bet on: October 23, 2023, 12:52:26 AM
This shouldn't be any news at all because a lot of socialite and celebrities in countries all over the world also Gamble. I feel that this particular person is trying to advertise the sport bookies more than he is trying to showcase his bet.

If he is advertising the casino, then he must have taken some huge amount of money from the casino for this purpose, other than the amount he won from the bet.
I don't think he has any reason to advertise the casino site for free.


This particular sports bet site is going to have a lot of traffic during the next premiership or football game because a lot of gamblers would create an account with them and make their bets. Some will win but the sports bet sites is going to make a lot of money from it.

Well, there is no harm if people make account on that site and start betting through it but the concern is that betting through this site or any other site should not make any difference. If you are able to make the right prediction and chose the correct bet, you will win the money no matter which site you placed the bet or is there anything special about this site Huh
636  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: October 23, 2023, 12:32:42 AM
I think the gambling age should be raised even higher because we realize later that the decisions we make at an early age affect us in our future life. Therefore, when we have this habit at an early age, we sometimes get into the business of gambling with money that will be large sums of money for ourselves. This gives us the chance to lose maybe money or maybe different things. That's why I think the gambling age should be higher than 21.
Gambling sites have set a minimum age limit for gamblers but the gamblers themselves do not make those rules but school and college students below 18 years of age are involved in gambling. Especially when young children use mobile phones or PCs or tablets, they willingly participate in gambling, thereby spoiling their education and causing mental damage. Although Guardian Mahal is always worried about this addiction of children but they have nothing to do afterwards. Therefore, the minimum age limit in casinos or gambling sites should be 21 years or more so that boys and girls cannot participate in schools and colleges.

There isn't much difference between the ages of 18 and 21, the real point to note is that children below the age of 18 are also found guilty of gambling. How is it possible that kids aged 16 or below are accessing gambling sites, having the money to gamble and also bypassing the KYC requirements?

If we dig down, we will know that they are gambling using their parents' or big brother's account and also, they are being funded by their parents to gamble. Now if the children get the bad effects of gambling, do not perform well in their studies and become addicted to gambling, who is to blame?

It's the parents who are responsible for their kid's gambling, as without their consent and willingness the children and under ages won't be able to gamble.

What token are you talking about, does the casino have their own native cryptocurrency token?
As the other users have already explained above, the token is a play-money which can be exchanged for the available crypto on Bitvest.

I forget about the rate of this token but I think it is like 1 token = 1 satoshi.
Nope, 25k tokens are equivalent to 417 satoshi at this moment. Maximum 1 million tokens can be exchanged in a single transaction which gives additional 500% in crypto. However, the exchange rate was different in the past.
If not from this comment, i am not aware of any token development by the bedvist team and also how far the token has gone and what are the bonuses incentives on those tokens, although it's clear that many of those who use casino inbuild tokens are given special percentages and bonuses for using them.


So I am sure, those who will be going in for these tokens are doing so to secure a better standing than others and that is fair enough to understand as long as the token will keep on performing its functions as a liquidity token within the casino and also trade on an exchange.

That token that he was talking about is not a token in reality, it's just a play money and nothing else. However, i wonder if Bitvest might think of introducing its own token just like some other gambling sites have their own tokens.

Having a gambling site native tokens may trend in the upcoming bull market when we will see some huge gains by the existing gambling sites token and other online sites such as bitvest might think to come up with their own token. Having a token gives another edge to the sites as people invest in those good gambling sites token and the sites can generate good income by selling their tokens and developing some interesting use cases for those tokens on their sites.
638  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you leave gambling if your future wife/husband tells you to do this ? on: October 22, 2023, 05:10:00 PM
When OP asked for opinions I had to somehow imagine this happening, and since I'm not an addict, I used an example of a normal relationship where the man gambles from time to time and the woman demands that he stopped. That's it.
If you feel it doesn't make sense, it's fine, but to me it does make a lot of sense, since OP did not give any specific background and did not explain the situation that the man is in.
Id OP doesn't want us to give our own opinions based on our personal situation why would he start a topic like that?

Bottom line, the answer is that I wouldn't stop because I find the request illogical.

You would not stop because you are not addicted to gambling and in such cases, the wives and other family members won't even ask to quit us, because our gambling is not hurting them.

The problem arises when you gamble in excess and become addicted to it. The problem arises when you start to use up the money which was supposed to be spent in the house to meet the expenses. The problem arises when you start spending more time gambling and avoiding your family, and this is where you become addicted to gambling.

So, in the former case, where you are not addicted, you are free to exercise your right to gamble but in the latter case, if you insist on gambling, that may result in some serious consequences, may result in the end of the relationships too.

In the India vs New Zealand match, New Zealand set India a big target of 274. It is a fairly good target, but India is a very strong team, they perform very well in batting. Rohit Sharma is very good player he is performing very well. If India plays at their best, they will surely win this match.

What a great bowling performance by Indian bowlers in the first innings. Muhammad Shami is the player of the first innings, he did a great and to a plan, bowling.

The Indian batting has just started and Rohit Sharma looking on fire and he is on 19 runs within no time. Anyway, if we talk about the bowling of India so Jasprit Bumrah took one wicket and Muhammad Siraj also took one wicket, and in spinners, Kuldeep Yadav took 2 wickets and Ravindra Jadeja took no wickets, the people of India are very hopeful with Ravindra Jadeja but Muhammad Shami complete this hope, he took 5 wickets of very big players of NZ,  if they were not out, they would have been harmful for Indian bowlers but Muhammad Shami bowled them cheaply. Now, let’s see what happens in the 2nd innings.

Yeah, that's true and it's actually one of the few things that is inevitable, whether we like it or not , a certain number of Bitcoin owners are actually going to end up leaving this world with their key remaining unknown to anyone, even their love one, but I feel this is supposed to be a matter of who's going fall under this category, well I know for sure after all this exposure to this much knowledge, I will definitely find a way to let my love ones or even my spouse know about the my holdings or if that's too wild, I think setting up a means of which they can actually get hold of my key and Bitcoin when mr.death eventually comes knocking.


Do you know what most people who are holding bitcoin are doing or will most probably do? All of them know that they will transfer their private keys to their loved ones when they are near to death but no one will let the keys be transferred ahead of time. Since the death time of everyone is unknown, there may be many who die because of an accident or on the spot death and they would not even get the time to give the private keys to their remaining.

Since bitcoin is very new and only the first generation is using it, so we do not come across such cases but after more than 10 to 20 years, a lot of bitcoins will be lost as the current holders of bitcoin wouldn't be alive and they have not transferred the wealth to their near and dear ones.
