You never know when bitcoin santa will come along and drop a few coins into your basket.

Best to keep around and check from time to time.

That is true, keeping old addresses could come in handy if coins ever got sent to them for some reason. Although, I don't think I've gotten any mysterious transactions to any of my addresses. But keeping it around or at least a backup of it is probably a good idea nonetheless.

Maybe if the casino adds some exotic coins, like maidsaife, or zcash, and add support for tokens like rise or something else.
The idea is that it is useless to add coins who are easy to exchange, it would bring more users to the casino, because generally these coins have a poor integration rate compared to other coins.

I do not think many people are attracting to play that kind of coin, first of thing because of its low on traffic and the second thing is about their milestone, they dont have enough to proof that their coin will be pumped. Instead of using that kind of coin, ot is better to create new coin for bitdice so it will be used out there on their exchanger

Yeah, these types of coins are generally not as popular and most users won't have them for gambling or won't stick with them for a long time unless they have gained popularity.

I'm wondering if you'll actually be able to withdraw from these. With the Bitcoin fees so high, it seems like it would be hard to make enough for a withdrawal.
744  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: After instalation and type passworld the program turn OFF on: March 29, 2017, 04:46:15 AM
If I put nothing I get info
Error  - Incorrect Password
see:


That is when you are trying to open an encrypted wallet file. What happens if you don't specify a password during the new wallet creation process? Does it still close out in that case or does it open?
745  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Huge fee, and number of inputs? Help needed on: March 29, 2017, 04:45:14 AM
this is what i understand without seeing the whole inputs you used:
example:
you wanted to give your friend $50 and what you did was giving him 10x $1 bills + 2x $100 bills and 1x $1000 bill and he took the $50 out of the total and gave you back a $1160 bill Smiley

in other words when you want to sent 0.1BTC you don't need to select all the 812 inputs. either let the wallet choose automatically (based on privacy or priority which can be changed in settings) or select outputs to spend as much as it only covers the amount+fee not more.
you are spending ~3.7BTC to send 0.1BTC!!!

Yeah, you should be able to send .1 with much less fees. Just don't use all your inputs when you are sending the transaction.

If you are running the latest version of Electrum, you can choose which inputs to use from the Coins tab and select fewer inputs which should allow a smaller fee.
746  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Desktop Wallet Safe Keeping on: March 28, 2017, 03:28:36 AM
Hardware wallets are probably the best bet for security. You can also use these in combination with Desktop Wallets such as Electrum. This helps protect your coins even if your PC was compromised. Although, I suppose you could still get one of the viruses that replaces addresses on your clipboard with malicious addresses so you still need to verify before you send.
747  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum wallet help on: March 28, 2017, 03:24:33 AM
Jack,
I waited 60mins for both transaction to be complete.

I simply opened a second wallet using the same seeds. To prove that i can retreive the funds. A sort of learning experience.

No I don't think I 'backed up my wallet' the way you describe. I must learn to do that too.

HTech, has shown me how to use public keys to 'verify' a signature. I will be working on that tonight. I am presently doing 12hr days in the mines, with an hours travel- so research time is limited for 2 weeks.

I will, however, learn to 'back up' my wallet.

Yep, you are correct. Should you lose your wallet or your PC, you can use the seed to recover all coins that were stored in that wallet. The seed allows you to recreate the same exact wallet and all its addresses.

Backing up your seed is equivalent to backing up your wallet and should be just fine unless you need labels/contacts or other data being stored in the wallet.
748  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: After instalation and type passworld the program turn OFF on: March 28, 2017, 03:21:28 AM

It`s the same. When hit next the program close .


you are way too vague.
it cannot be "the same" if you did not encrypt the wallet as instructed, because you are not in the same screen.

where are you when it closes? are you in the wizard screen? or are you trying to open the first wallet over again?
Please see
https://youtu.be/JrUuW0SRpMc


The video definitely makes it more clear. If you leave the password blank and do not encrypt the wallet, does it also close in the same way?
749  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum not restoring bitcoins from seed on: March 28, 2017, 03:16:36 AM
Newer versions of Electrum still support restoring the old seed format so you should be able to just restore from the seed. There shouldn't be a need to download an old version. Be sure to double check the seed for accuracy. Also, you should verify that Electrum is fully synced or the balance may not sure properly.
750  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: View transaction history on offline pc on: March 28, 2017, 03:11:10 AM
Just wondering, is there anyway to view transaction history on an offline wallet?


I see the history can be exported by going to wallet > history > export. Is there anyway to import this on an offline wallet?

It can be exported to CSV or a json file but as far as I know, you can't import the history into another wallet.

another roulete what is game support in there

-> Please explain what you are talking about?

I think he was just asking what other games they support besides roulette such as poker/blackjack which was already mentioned.

Why not just check out the site yourself though and you can see all the games this sites offers
752  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BU is closed source??? WTF? on: March 27, 2017, 04:15:38 AM
I think these 12 hours is a real problem for following reasons:
1) The fix concerned security and as such it had to be adopted immediately. Someone citing "emergency" character should understand this is rather aggravating circumstance, not an excuse.
2) They must have had the sources before released binaries. What was the reason/purpose for not disclosing them for 12 hours? It had to be done intentionally. Are there better and worse players, some who award the security and the rest that do not?
3) Do you think an exchange or any other serious company can work straight with binaries, especially unsigned? Aren't their operators supposed to audit the sources?
4) How much can a crypto change it's value within 12 hours? Can you imagine such a rapid change while all your assets are frozen and you can't do nothing because all major exchanges disabled your wallets? Isn't it like someone deleted your Bitcoin by erasing it's value while locking it "temporary"?

I have not yet got involved in BTC vs. BTU discussion till now and my opinion is not partial for that.
Did BTU team give any explanation for that what has happened? Did they encounter HDD failure?
Do they find such a practice normal and are going to exercise it in the future?

I agree they should not have released a binary based upon code not in the public git repository. That was a mistake.

The git commit/push should have taken place before they released the binary.

It was a mistake and it was corrected. For people like me who only build from git, that means we had to wait, though honestly - the git repo had been updated by the time I found out about it and I suspect that is the case for many people.

Yeah, releasing a closed source patch doesn't really make much sense as it can't be properly audited by the community. Definitely an interesting choice in the way it was deployed.
753  Economy / Speculation / Re: why i'm not selling my coins on: March 27, 2017, 03:46:12 AM
To be honest if im going to sell my coins i just lose the chance that bitcoin will increase and make another profit from it grabing the chance of holding bitcoins to our bitcoin wallet is the best opportunity for me since i am small time incomer in bitcoin. I also saved 25% of my profit every time i get it from trading , gamblig and other freelance also.

That's the right thing to do hold your coins for the future and if you sell them now then the profit margin would be not too high so this is not the best time to sell your coins but if you can save them for future and wait for the price to go higher would be the best decision to make at a moment.

I just checked the value now, it's again dumped to 960$ now. We need huge adoption in upcoming days to increase the value of bitcoins. However, at this situation we can hold the bitcoins as much we can and sell it out when it again touched the peak value.

Yeah, there has been a ton of volatility lately. It has been a roller coaster for sure. I start to get a bit worried when I see the price under $1000 now, but I'm sure it will recover once the uncertainty subsides.

Investing in a reputable Casino or spreading it across several is a great form of investment. Just make sure to do your research and choose reputable casinos.

You can also do lending on some exchanges which can be a decent form of investment, although probably lower returns then a casino may generate.
756  Economy / Gambling / Re: BITDICE CASINO - CONGRATULATIONS TO WONTON FOR WINNING 300BTC on: March 26, 2017, 08:36:11 PM
There's even the case to drop Doge since the altcoin market trends has changed, and then accept Dash, XMR or maybe ETC?  Looking at CMC, those altcoins would be good at first impression.  What do you think?

I'd think that Dash or XMR would be the most likely candidates for inclusion as altcoins. They already have ETH so I doubt ETC would be added, but Dash and XMR have been quite popular lately so it is possible those might be considered.

So Kolloh, Does that mean if i copy paste my 'electrum' folder. Then hide it in encrypted (1048 military grade)cyber space, on an email server that even the NSA have trouble getting into- I can restore my wallet if my computer gets stolen?

New to this, already lost btc to a clever thieve, just want to make dam sure it never happens again.

Peter

Yep, you would be able to restore your wallet if your computer was stolen in this case. If you don't need your labels and contacts and settings, you can simply backup your seed phrase and you'll be able to restore the wallet with all funds as well. This can even be written down and stored in a physical safe, for example.
760  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Using LastPass as Bitcoing Users - Bad Idea? on: March 26, 2017, 06:26:40 AM
the better way is probably to store this particular sensible password on a piece of paper , stored in a safe place.

That could work for a few passwords, but when you have quite a number of passwords to keep track of, it becomes very inconvenient to store them on paper. It also makes it easy for people with physical access to steal all your passwords.

If you have a Trezor, you can actually use it for a password manager as well. See https://trezor.io/passwords/ for more information.
