They will eventually and basically Ledger company is a sinking ship and with their actions, I don't think they will ever gonna regain the lost trust. Their story of longevity just proves that they need financial sources to survive as long as they can since they are not making any profits.

I think it is time for them to build something other than hardware wallets like USB Humping Dog

What you are saying is like Band-aid instead of suture which may work or may not but why we have to take that risk and just start from the root cause that will eliminate the confusion of many issues at once and we can expect the changes in the society in a decade or two but if you are going to teach one by one then it will take a decade for one issue then it's a never-ending sotry.

Gambling is prohibited in Christianity too, but they can teach about it in the banned countries too then only they will realize why they banned it in the first place. Banning something outright will provoke something among the people and it will lead them into the underworld casinos which has no rules and policies.

Betting random amount suitable for casino games such as dice, roulette, and slots whereas you should be careful with poker games where you have to raise the money and beat the opponents so it's different so the strategy comes into play also should be different on what games you are betting at. Simply if you want to control the greed then just skip the bet and that is the honest way in my opinion.

Controlling the betting amount and staying under our limits will work to some extent but with greed, I don't want to take any risk and I am not going to lose anything if I am not letting the greed take over my common sense.

Money is the important reason why everyone gambles and if I am not wrong that is what the actual meaning of gambling is.

But what everyone here says or at least pretend to be, it should not be the sole reason for gambling because we know the odds are against us so most likely the house will beat us but still we may win and that is what we call a luck factor.

No one is going to gamble if there is no benefits but it doesn't mean people will stop spending their money cause most of our earnings are going somewhere which doesn't bring anything to us at all so at least gambling gives us a chance to win some money.

I have said that many times already, instead of educating people about gambling, investing, importance of spending on the things they need why not just educate themselves about money in the first place which is the root cause of all the other thousand problems we can address today.

People who don't have any idea about the significance of money management is the key to financial independency are the ones who spend money on things they actually don't need so instead of addressing every problem just create awareness about money and let them handle how they want to spend their hard-earned money. Guess what governments won't do that cause if they do then people will be asking questions whenever the print money out of thin air which they never want to take the risk.

I don't know what you guys are exactly debating about but as far as I am concerned the specific case was resolved because the user himself stated that he able to withdraw the funds.


And didn't show up here after that.

Provably fair means nothing but the results for a game are actually random which ensures that you are not getting robbed and most casinos allow the users to ensure the results are not previously determined or in short not rigged.

We already have multiple guides about checking the fairness of results on a casino and here is one,

Do you verify every bet as a gambler? Provably Fair Guide.

So we don't need to trust anyone anymore, we can analyze it on our own and if a casino doesn't have that feature then better avoid trusting them with our money.

I guess this is only about the fairness of the game and blocking or freezing users' money with no actual reason or such things are different and if that is a common practice in a casino then they won't be in the business too long.

Then don't try anything further, the cost of retrieving the data will at least 5x times of what you are talking about, which may differs based on your location still no one is going to pull the data from a dead phone for that much low cost unless you know someone who can do it for free of cost.

Recent-era smartphones which are using eMMC or UFS flash storage chips that are directly soldered onto the mainboard itself so it's possible to retrieve the data stored in the device with the help of an expert but OP said old smartphone so am not sure how old it is and assuming if it is a device with the open back panel then it will get slightly complicated still it's possible as far as I know.

Before that, I suggest OP check the wallet balance and only proceed further if the wallet contains a considerable amount or just let it sleep there forever cause the data recovery will cost you at least $1000 if I am not wrong.

I checked their ANN but there is nobody addressed the issue you are talking while scrolling I found another user claiming that the casino took $50K from the balance and also removed the bets from the history tab which is kind of scary and I guess it now time to open scam accusation against them.

And let's see what their response will be, but if they care about the reputation and claim that it actually appeared as a mistake then they will surely compensate with something at least half of the amount and accept the mistake happened.

If not then their reputation is at stake here.

You will never know what is modified in the cracked version of your Windows and as said nobody is giving you the software for free, they always need something from you and that is why cracked and modded software are available for free.

Apart from that private version will not receive security updates which puts you at further security risks if there is some kind of malware and it needs to be patched via the security update.

So what you can do is make your cracked PC safer, my suggestion is gonna be different from what others suggested but it will work for you.

You can install a Virtual machine software like Oracle and then install Linux in it which is open source and free of cost.

And what you can achieve by doing this:

It's like running another device inside your Windows machine so anything installed inside the VM will not be affected by the malware of Windows such as your Bitcoin wallet, which you can also use to store sensitive information and it will be completely prone to malware which attacks windows.

It is more convenient for someone who is being a Windows user and can't afford two machines.

It is a pretty good achievement to be honest and I suggest you go ahead with the same strategy for long-term trading so that 20% annual returns along with the compounding effect will produce great ROI in the next few years.

20% seems very low compared to the volatile nature of crypto assets and I won't be surprised if many others say it's not enough but from an investor perspective this is something too good and if you manage to hit that value for the next few years then your capital will be doubled. But as I always recommend just go with a maximum of 30% as capital for your trading from your total crypto portfolio value and anything beyond is a huge leap towards risk.

Cookie stealers mostly concentrate on Google accounts, especially YouTube but this may be the first time in my knowledge if that is the actual reason for this compromise.

In the recent past, a few accounts were compromised in the same way but they just used to take loans via bitcointalk and let the owners pay it back so possibly the same group targeted the bitcointalk accounts again with much more severe like spreading malware and possibly to attack more users whoever by clicking the link.

So I wonder if this is going to be a big issue if this happens to other accounts too.

Apart from using strong passwords, we don't really have any mechanism to fight against this so probably this can be the reason to implement 2FA on bitcointalk.

I tried some casinos which just being same version of their website even on a smaller screen that is what I am talking about but yes the upcoming casinos might adapt it while still not all that is why I said it can be one of the suggestions when it comes to development.

There is always room for development and that is what evolution taught us. Anyone who wants to stay in the business needs to keep updating themselves to new generation technology, games, user experience and a lot more which will keep the users stay on their platform it is very important nowadays cause you can witness the competition on the crypto casino market is getting wild over the years compared to 2017 market run.

I started playing with dice game for most of the time then over the years more casinos came up with thousands of options to explore so I moved to different games just to explore not that I was fed up with the results of dice and tried to make up on other games.

Apart from dice, I love the Plinko cause it kind of amazes me all the time while waiting for the ball to drop to fall at the right spot that is my story which may not be really interesting but it's true, and also shows that I am being responsible with my gambling habits throughout the years.

A championship for the pillow fight.

But after some digging, it's not actually the Pillow fight you did in your childhood, it's an actual MMA fight under the brand of PFC but it seems UFC is already bringing their lawsuit against the PFC organizers for the resemblance of the world-famous UFC logo and colors used.

UFC launch legal action against the Pillow Fight Championship

Most casinos don't even optimize their website for mobile devices.

Also, I am yet to know if any casino has a dedicated app for betting but in the future, there might be a lot of them cause its inevitable that smartphones are going to be the future of everything.

But what are your suggestions, cause I don't really see any in the first post of this thread but you started off with you would give some suggestions.

But the same company also admitted that they lost over 200 million worth of user's crypto assets. One more reason not to trust self-custodian wallets.


I think we can compare this wallet with Nunchuk wallet, cause it seems lot of similarities in both but still Nunchuk has the better edge since its available on both Android and IOS.

As you said I don't know why people still go with custodial services when we have the option to go completely trustless for zero fees via electrum. Or still people feel maintaining the recovery seeds is overwhelming as these platforms claim?

I do agree that anti-virus is not going to detect every malware, especially the newly created ones but for a layman there is no better tool than anti-virus to tackle their cyber security, at least it will be able to detect the known malware.

To protect our crypto assets we can be careful to some extent but these kinds of apps are getting more advanced and I read it is capable of even remote commands so once a system is affected there is a possibility of losing our crypto funds even without any action from our side.

Cybersecurity is the biggest concern of the 21st century, but most people still use Windows, which is at least security-resistant when it comes to avoiding attacks. So, the first thing we should do is install Linux because it offers enhanced security features and greater control over system vulnerabilities, making it a prudent choice for those looking to bolster their online defenses.

Bunny loader is basically a trojan that is highly rated for its potential to cause damage to victims based on its nature which is capable of extracting almost everything from your device from keystrokes, browser history, auto-fill details, cookies, and also with the ability to replace the data like wallet addresses.

As you said it mostly affects the system via emails pretending to be one of the services they are already using or random downloads from unknown websites. But it seems highly undetectable as per many cyber security experts and can stay unnoticed forever so the best possible solution is to stay away from downloading it in the first place.

Here is an article that explains how can we manually remove the Bunny loader - MaaS
