7381  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price and Binance on: May 22, 2019, 07:40:00 PM
I am not sure if they are correlated but it is definitely not a shock that binance was hacked after bitcoin got some more attention yet again. People see hacking as a way to make easy money and if there is an option to make a lot of money via hacking binance than they will use it, just like anything else in bitcoin when price is going down than the hacking attempts go down with it but when bitcoin price goes up the hacking attempts go up too.

So, I don't know if binance caused any price changes when it was hacked or not but I am 100% sure it was hacked because of the price change, it is vice versa of everyone believes. Now that its back and stronger than ever I am sure people will continue to try to hack it and I am sure binance will defend itself from 99.99% of it.

I think the hardest part would be convincing people that it is actually provably fair. The point of provably fair in dice games is simple and everyone could check each roll they have with the seed and that's done, quite simple yet quite quick.

In poker games the problem is not that the shuffle is random, it could be a fact that shuffle is random which people will accept with fair ease, however not seeing your hand is the question, you may get fair cards given to each player but as long as one player sees everyone's hands then he will win no matter what. Proving people that nobody knows your hand and nobody can scam you that way will take some time, even if you are legit (I think there are one or two other legit poker places in crypto as well) it will still be a hard sell on the users.
7383  Economy / Gambling / Re: BitcoinCasinoAffiliates.com -Affiliate Program Reviews/Comparisons, News, Events on: May 22, 2019, 08:58:15 AM
The idea is probably sharing places that we don't know already to create a competitive edge on the affiliate world.

As you can see none of the websites reviewed there are the places we have ever heard before, they are literally promoting places that none of us heard before so there must be reason behind it. Maybe this is more of a out of crypto world place that shares places that also have fiat, maybe it is more of a paid shill that does this to make money, or maybe they are doing it so you can get to see the other places you never heard that gives affiliate networks that we know a competition?

I don't know the reason why would anyone create a whole website dedicated to websites we never heard before but I am pretty sure it will be a useless effort in the end.
7384  Economy / Gambling / Re: Blockchain Poker - Play Poker with Bitcoin (for free) on: May 22, 2019, 08:00:26 AM
I think the free faucet type of deal will work wonders for this game, after all the one thing people care about is their money and their security and as long as they get to play and check out the game before they deposit that would make it even more trustworthy.

It may take some time and do not get discouraged if it doesn't go the way you want it to go right away, SwC has been in crypto poker for years and they are still trying to get more customers, poker is not like dice games in crypto and doesn't get that much love, poker has its customers on fiat already so its hard to convince them to switch back to crypto.

Moreover, if you continue down this path I see great potential in this, just keep at it for years and eventually this will become a greatly profitable business for sure.
7385  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will mining be profitable again? on: May 21, 2019, 06:31:29 PM
I think there is always profit in mining but it all depends on what you want to mine, there are different stuff and different calculations that you can use to mine and not all work the same. Right now, "most" of the miners make a loss or not use their systems and the small scale that use it only use it on weird obscure coins that still profit them.

Of course, eventually that will be profitable yet again and everyone will start to mine again which will make difficulty go up again and it will make people stop again and this will continue in a forever spiral. There is no way mining could be profitable all the time, if something is profitable then everyone will do it and since there is difficulty in mining the moment people join the difficulty makes sure they do not profit as much.
7386  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Would you like to setup your own crypto exchange if upfront costs are low? on: May 21, 2019, 05:34:43 PM
The reason why I do not start an exchange is not the technical aspects of it, the reason why I don't start is I do not trust the security of it. If you can promise me a system where it is totally unhackable (nothing is unhackable these days) then yeah I would totally do it but right now even if given a super code that works perfectly and a designer that will design the best looking exchange in the world, I still wouldn't go into it even if its free.

After all, you are risking everyone's money and you are keeping so much money on your hot wallets and even more on your cold wallets and in case anything happens you are going to destroy thousands of lives in a single day, there could be even a person who commit suicide from losing so much money just because you got hacked. I am not taking that risk.
7387  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Be Aware of Scams as Crypto prices goes up! on: May 21, 2019, 11:24:36 AM
Scams do not stop in real life neither, there are scams that have been going on with fiat for centuries now, even during Greek/Macedonian/roman times (even as far as Egyptian times) there were scam artists who stole money from people, so it would be naive to think that bitcoin or any crypto would stop that. Just like when crypto was used to buy drugs and hire hitman to kill people how everyone claimed "bitcoin causes drug usage!!", well no it didn't people used dollars and fiat way before bitcoin started to actually buy drugs, now its just provides privacy on top of that.

Scams will never end, it didn't end with fiat, it didn't end with banking revolution and it will not end with crypto neither, people who are looking to make a quick buck from fooling people will continue to exist forever.
7388  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are the wallets you have been used in the past and currently using? on: May 21, 2019, 09:09:12 AM
Lets talk about what wallets we have been using in the past and now,which will be helpful for the people to find our right wallets for their needs.

If you changed wallets from one to another then you also can mention the reasons.

I am currently using electrum for storing bitcoin and stored my private keys in hard drive and MEW for ethereum and tokens.I did used coinbase when I was new but lately found that it is not safe to hold cryptos for long.
Well, when I first ever started I was using the default bitcoin wallet, the one that you download to your computer and everyone knows, the real wallet of bitcoin.

It wasn't for too long though because that required me to keep it on my own computer and my computer was very old at that time so I was thinking about changing it for sure so I wanted to move to an online wallet until I got a new laptop and then would move back into real wallet (never happened). So I found blockchain.info (now blockchain.com) and I used that for years and years, probably until 2016 I was using them, they didn't had changing wallets at the time, now anytime you want to deposit it gives you a new wallet and I hate that.

So, I moved to primedice, I know it was a gambling place but at least they were trustworthy and I knew nothing would happen to my coins there. Now I am using binance, I know they had some issues recently and they are always attacked so I am looking to switch to ledger nano soon, I just need to convince my wife to let me buy a usb stick looking thing for that much money Cheesy.
7389  Economy / Economics / Re: Your Source of Investment Money? on: May 21, 2019, 07:39:58 AM
I think my main source is not spending as much as I used to. I know I am not living the life I want to live and I know I have very few luxuries in my life but even with that in mind I am still okay with living a simple life just to see my investments grow bigger and live a better life in the future.

I have lived the ups and downs of this life economically all my life, even as a child my father used to be a general manager all the way down to a regular worker and now retired man so I have lived as a private school going insanely lucky kid and also kid of a retired man all the same. Similar stuff happened to me, earned as much as 10 times the minimum wage and earned as little as zero some months.

So, now I am focusing on earning as much as I can but spending as little as I can just to actually have some investments aside and instead of ups and downs I have standards that do not change no matter what thanks to my investments.
7390  Economy / Economics / Re: How can Bitcoin reduce global economic inequality? on: May 21, 2019, 07:08:36 AM
It can't be printed out more just to save someone from bankrupting? That alone in itself is insanely good because it creates a system where if rich are too rich then poor have no money and then rich can't get any richer which means they have to share. Normally on dollars if the rich gets richer and poor gets poorer they print out money from nothing and give most of it to rich people again so they can keep getting richer while they give only a bit to poor people so they can continue to spend and make rich people richer.

With bitcoin the rich are forced to share since they can't hoard all the wealth for themselves, there will be no central bank that will print money for them and they will be forced to not get any richer, so it will be capped at a certain point. That will create equality for everyone.
7391  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it a value reserve? on: May 18, 2019, 09:16:58 AM
Wouldn't that be amazing? I mean think about countries having bitcoin reserves, even if the national money that you use loses its value the bitcoin reserves the nation has could be used to cover that expense and sell it, I know it is not that easy to do but in the end they could potentially could do it slowly and increase it a bit. For example the taxes they charge from the people who do bitcoin related stuff could be used to buy bitcoin or even charge bitcoin to those people and save it aside.

Bitcoin taxes are brand new thing and wouldn't be missed so if people do something related to crypto and have to pay taxes on it then governments should take it as crypto currency and put it on a governmental safe and lock it there until there is a nation wide Venezuela like inflation in which case it could be used to sell and recover the economy.
7392  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Idea needed for my situation on: May 18, 2019, 08:02:16 AM
Bitcoin is already gaining super interest by people, maybe it is time altcoins should get a bit of that attention as well ? What could the worst be ? I mean they are already losing value in bitcoin but gaining profit in dollars and as long as people care only about how much profit they have in dollar value than altcoins could at worst result with "not as much as it could be" type of profit instead of a loss.

Moreover, if altcoins start to get some attention after this bitcoin bull I think in the next 2 months that 5 thousand dollars could turn into 10 and even 20 thousand dollars if you invest into right altcoin. There are so many of them at binance right now waiting for binance to stabilize and waiting for bitcoin to stabilize and after that those altcoins will do x5 and even x10 easily.
7393  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Beginner on: May 18, 2019, 07:01:30 AM
I believe what you should always try to remember is practice does make you better. I mean there is not a single great investor in the whole world, even Warren Buffet lost money during the 2008 crisis but he managed to take advantage of it so well that he is STILL profiting from investments he made during those times including his own personal money as well. This means there will be bad days for you as well but use that to your advantage and learn how it could make you even better.

If you trade all the time and when you win know why you profit and when you loss then learn why you lost then you will get better. Of course, read and learn and discuss and do all of those to become better but without actually trading yourself you will not be the best version of yourself.
7394  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Arguments against XRP, the biggest shitcoin. on: May 17, 2019, 05:15:04 PM
There is no argument here about XRP that could be made that wasn't made before. XRP is a coin that is such a waste that I can't believe it is so high in the market cap list. It should have been one of the lowest coins out there in the world instead of being in top 3 constantly and even getting the second spot sometimes. They are a "company" not a coin and they literally do business with banks to get those banks use their blockchain to move money from place to place with less cost and simply banks pay ripple the money and ripple pays that to wherever that money goes via using their own blockchain.

Now idea is great I agree but that has NOTHING to do with XRP, that is the coin not the company and since XRP holders are not getting dividends from the profits, they are just holding a coin that was intended for banks big moves and not them.
7395  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to stake 24/7 on a VPS? on: May 17, 2019, 04:42:25 PM
Honestly, it doesn't even have to be a vps, you can do it in cloud most of the time, google cloud would allow to do that too. No matter how you do it having your PC open for 24/7 doesn't really make any sense at all.

I don't know if it exists but I have always dreamed of a website that is primarily focuses on wallets and staking so everyone in the world give them their staking coins and that website stakes it for you and they take a cut from the profit and that way you do not have to stake it yourself and still have a wallet that stakes it for you without paying a single cent. That website could make a lot of profit by collecting their dust change from everyone which would combine to a lot of money. I don't know if that exists yet but I am sure it will exist one day and everyone will use that.
7396  Economy / Economics / Re: MICROSOFT WANTS TO "PROTECT" YOUR IDENTITY WITH BITCOIN on: May 17, 2019, 09:54:08 AM
I think they are not really aiming at decentralized ways, they are Microsoft and they have millions (maybe even billions?) of computers all around the world so making it decentralized would have been easy but then it would make it hard for them to keep updating and keep improving so they do need to have an internet connection and connect Microsoft somehow.

Moreover, I feel like the system where blockchain gives us all individual wallet address and make us have our own identity via our wallet address could potentially work for Microsoft and computers as well. Right now all of our computers do have some sort of identity code that eventually can be traced back to Microsoft who probably knows even which factory it was made in. Hence blockchain could help that a lot.
7397  Economy / Economics / Re: Toronto Man Scammed Over $2,000 by McDonald’s Mobile App on: May 17, 2019, 08:16:51 AM
LOL, HAMBURGLAR! That is freaking funny Cheesy I don't know where these people get these nicknames from but that is awesome Cheesy. Also, how the hell does someone spend 2 thousand dollars on mcdonalds? Like it is one of the cheapest food places in the whole world, even in countries where food could be more expensive (or cheaper doesn't matter) mcdonalds usually rank at the top of the list for cheap food places.

So, when you spend 2000 dollars on mcdonalds in Canada Toronto that is like probably over 100 burgers, which means either the person didn't actually buy the burgers but there was an inside job where cashiers help him get cash and pay with app and they made some money too, or dude didn't realize he was being robbed for weeks even months before he realized it.
7398  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🎲EOSBet.io - Licensed Casino Platform 🎲Provably Fair 🎲NOW ACCEPTING BTC ₿ on: May 17, 2019, 07:32:16 AM
*snip*
The fact they are actually the only provably fair open source casino out there
*snip*

How come people are claiming this? Surely this is not the case, has anyone confirmed this? I don't think that even EOSBet is claiming that it's the only that's provably fair.

I don't know if they are claiming it, but I am. But to be fair I did not check every casino in the world. However I was not able to find another casino that was fully on-chain that also open sourced their code.

If there was another one that is provably fair to the same degree as EOSBet it would still make them very unique in the world.
Provably fair doesn't have levels like you think it does. Yes, eosbet is fully on chain and its a decentralized one with source code open and all that which makes it "provably fair" but there is no "double provably fair" or something, its as provably fair as any other casino out there that uses the same seed checking system for provably fair as well. Just to give an example primedice has been open for business in the past 6 years and their system is provably fair too.

When you have provably fair once then there is no way to make it "more provably fair" or something, its just that, eosbet has more ways to check their provably fair system but that doesn't mean they are "more" or less, hence why all of them are equally provably fair. Don't get me wrong decentralized casinos are literally the future of casino world but its because of website owners stealing all your money and running away with it not because of provably fair.

I prefer video poker game because it feels like the closest we can get to slots plus poker combined, it has a bit of both in it and that gives me joy since I really like texas holdem and I really like slots games as well. Plinko used to be my middle child since I played it after I played dice too many times in a row and one of the reasons why I switched from primedice to stake really and I played there a lot on early days, I feel like the result is already decided but every single time I watch it I tend to keep thinking THIS TIME FOR SURE Cheesy. Stupid gamblers fallacy I know but it was fun. The first ever one that I always go back and play time to time is of course dice and I really like it but a person can gamble on dice for so long, sometimes I get really bored of it.
7400  Economy / Gambling / Re: BLOCKCHAIN. The Future of Online Casinos? ✅ on: May 17, 2019, 05:02:06 AM
"Starting" a blockchain casino is simple yes but making it different from others is the big challenge. I remember years ago there was some help from moneypot company to create your own dice website. They were the "main bankroll" for many other casinos and they actually allowed you to start your own website and even give out faucet for free to your users so you can do better marketing and all they asked for is to use their own bankroll for your casino which was awesome for people with no money since every time people lost money you got something in return (there was difficult calculations I can't remember).

So, after a while I decided to use their system and you get a blank dice website in like 10 minutes easily even with a github, however making it better and bigger was so impossible compared to all other awesome websites I quit after a week of making barely any improvements compared to all big ones.
