Saw this thread so I decided to play here for a bit. Dropped a few mbtc playing around.
Went to withdraw and I saw your fees are a bit on the high side. Just my opinion on that.

And then...my fans started to spool up. And saw my browser was taking up 1 entire cpu core.
Looks like something on your site is not optimized.
No idea what, might want to poke around to see what it is.

Seems sketchy at best. No history, high bonus, no operator information that I can see.
With that being said, if you have a few bucks to loose then it's not the worst thing if you dump in some coin and play.
If you win and can withdraw great. If not, you can post about it and let us all know to avoid them.

You need to have 300 good reports before it gives you an individual breakdown of your reports, though.

Well that's kind of backwards. You get to guess for your first few hundred reported posts, then we tell you what we think is good and what we think is bad.
I would like to think that after 300 good reports I would have figured it out.

Ah, well off to report some more.

I have 263 bad reports, and now that the new system out where bad reports are actually shown you'll be able to guess why, and hopefully improve upon that. Honestly, bad reports aren't that big of a deal.

Are you talking about the number of bad reports or is there a place that I can see which reports I made that were considered bad?

The number of bad reports is nice, but the issue is when I went to bed I had 8 unhandled reports. I woke up with 2 unhandled reports and another 2 bad ones added to my count. I have no idea which ones were good, which ones were bad and which ones were not looked at yet.

If there is a link to see which is which please share. If it's someplace obvious feel free to poke fun of me...

Thanks,
Dave

@DaveF. How much more boring is it than formula 1 hehehe?

I watched it before. It is good to see some of the former formula 1 drivers in there, however the cars do not look as nice and they are not that fast. But include it if you want.


I don't think they don't look as nice. They are just different.
No, not as fast but very quiet. Which helps, and *I* think it will help generate more interest. It's tough to convince a bunch of non motorsport people to have a race on their streets. It blocks traffic, and causes other issues. Not to mention the noise. You can hear them across the city. With the electric car & bike races you dog can be asleep in your front window as they drive by and it might not wake up. That helps the sport.
Yes it's a bit of an exaggeration but it does get the people nearby off your back when you want to do it.

Is there any possibility of adding motorsports? Formula 1, Formula-e, MotoGP, etc.
Even some NASCAR?

Yes, betting on motorsports is not as popular as other events but it is big and a lot of betting does happen.
Just my view.

Thanks,
Dave

Started playing here the other day.
I keep saying it to a lot of places and will contine to do so.
Can you get away from the flash based games? Click on this slot, needs flash, click on some other slot, also needs flash.

With the security issues with flash more and more people are just not installing it and more and places are not allowing it.

Just my view.

Rasp pi are simply not made for this task.

Cheap used Lenovo tiny PCs do a better job.

Dell has a good small unit. Buy a used one. Many will hold a nvme and a ssd.

I use Mac mini’s 2012 model and or 2014 models.

I clone a backup os with a wallet . And away I go.

I both love and hate RPi units.
To say they are not up to the task is not quite fair, they are up to it but barely.
The 4 (if it was not for the heat issue) is more then up to it.
It's when you are using your RPi as a node & a pi-hole & open VPN front end for your home network all at once you really see problems.
I am actually using the one I got from from the Avalon deal that never happened as a smart controller in the condo.

I have an PowerEdge server running Hyper-V that handles most of my "heavy lifting" but I also have many a RPi sitting around doing stuff too.

The nice thing about them is to play they are cheap and simple.
And, you can power it down from bring your node, swap in a different SD card and now it's back to being your VPN server, power it down again and put in another SD card and it's doing something else.

Do I 100% rely on it. No.

As with everything, YMMV.

Well this is something undoubtedly serious and needs to be taken into account while tinkering with a Raspi4 to run a Bitcoin full node. I like them quiet and reliable, tossing on desks and basically expecting them to work indefinitely. Of course heat is a very dangerous element to have on such a tiny device.
Thanks for pointing us in the right direction.

Yeah, I was trying to figure out why my node stopped responding now and then. And someone else on another forum was having issues with theirs overheating.
So I put a small fan on it and went to look around, and saw that it is happening to a lot of people. Someone someplace cut some corners that they should not have when designing the 4

So, the RPi 4 generates a crap more heat from it's CPU then previous models.
Some people are having thermal throttling in under 5 minutes of heavy use.
So I give you the 52Pi Ice Tower

I'm not just posting this for laughs, I had my 4 thermal throttle while nothing but bitcoind was running.

Would anyone want to include next years Formula-E in this thread?
Yeah, I know some people think electric racing is not real racing.

Since I'm a New Yorker, I saw last years and this years race in Brooklyn. Really enjoyed it.

Saw the promo setup an account. Played for a while. Up then down then up then what the hell I’m out.
Have not had a losing streak that bad in a long time. Such is life, that’s why they call it gambling. But wow that last run of bad luck sucked.
Good luck everyone else.

Thank you guys!

But is it also possible to get a SMS on my mobile phone if a transaction of a certain btc adress took place?
If you can get an email sent then yes you can get an SMS.

Most (all?) phone providers have an email to SMS gateway.

Here are a few, a Google search should help you find yours.

There is something called Risk of Ruin.

Wikipedia has a good article on it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_of_ruin

But the 1st 21words sum it up perfectly
Quote
Risk of ruin is a concept in gambling, insurance, and finance relating to the likelihood of losing all one's investment capital

Here is a calculator for it.

If you are going to gamble know your RoR and live by it.

Although this might have been covered in the last 175 pages or so 2 quick questions on the Video Poker
It's listed at 1%. In reality  9/6 JoB video poker (the game being offered) is 0.46% house edge. Since other games show the true % is this just a keep it simple thing.

Does anyone know the accuracy of the suggested play? Seems off to me, but I can't be sure.

Thanks,

So long as you are using a very strong password it's safer. Not 100% safe but much better then putting the front end of the miner out to the public.
I don't know how secure you can make VNC with 2FA or other security but it's much better then forwarding the miner web page.

On a side note, with 4G you are loosing some profit mining, there is more latency in sending / receiving data then with cable / fiber / dsl so you will get some more rejected shares.
I do not have any hard and fast data to the amount but I know it is there.

-Dave
6537  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: assign port for remote access via 4g router on: August 01, 2019, 12:40:41 PM
DO NOT DO THIS.
DO NOT GIVE ACCESS TO YOUR MINERS TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD.


Put a small PC / RPi behind the same router and connect to that.
If you cant use a VPN to get in securely at least use something with 2FA to connect to the machine behind the router.

I recently updated Windows 10 and after that Bitcoin 18.0 stopped working. It says some "ruaway exception" error happens and it quits by itself. I re-installed 17.0.1 version but exactly the same thing happens. Can anybody help me get my node running again?

Which Win 10 OS build are you running?

I have machines with all the newer versions with 18.0 installed with no issues.
