Guys, what would your opinion be, for leverage investment option ?
I think leverage investment is a good idea. A lot of sites seem to offer this method of investment. Although it seems that a lot of users just use the max leverage so it may not make a ton of difference if everyone does that. But it lets users choose how much they want to risk which is pretty nice. |

It also depends on what kelly multiplier you are investing at.
Yeah, very true. If you are investing at the max 5x kelly multiplier you will see much more movement than you would with lower kelly multipliers. It goes both ways though and can make investing a bit more risky as you can also lose faster when players are winning. |

I too are curious about this.
If there is a split (likely to happen), then I am sure Electrum wallet users will want their share of BU's, as everyone would.
An answer would be appreciated before a fork happens, which its timing is pretty much unknown at this point.
Something tells me both will arise as competing currencies; as ETC/ETH did last year.
I hope not but if it happened once, it will happen again, that's basic history.
Yeah, I am also expecting a similar occurrence to the ETH/ETC fork last year. I know that some exchanges made it quite easy to get your share of both of the coins and I'm hoping there is an easy way to do that with BTC without the need to put coins on an exchange. Forks are a pain and I'm hoping this won't end up in too much chaos. |

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Unlucky for bettor, but really nice for investors. I believe house profit is possibly the highest it's been during the latest version, but don't quote me on that.
Sad to know user "hidden" lost a lot after he won huge amount before (100 BTC in a bet). Judging from his bankroll, he really had huge bitcoin (Martingale from 10 BTC until 80 BTC and did 1 last bet with 200 BTC = Total 350 BTC lost on that run) Wow that's some sick gambling there. I wonder who this guy is. What if it's really a Bitcoin whale like Roger Ver having fun with his holdings. Lol. He must be going "Oh I don't care with these coins anymore! I have too many of them." But seriously tho, 200 BTC on a single bet? I could imagine only one sick gambler who could do that in dice. Phil Ivey. But I don't think he's a Bitcoin user. Whoever the person, he is a extreme gambler because he bet 200 BTC in a single bet. That number is very much I think, I can gamble hundred times with bitcoin amount like that. I also want to know who dared to gamble like that only in single bet on dice, this makes me very curious. But I am sure this will make investors interested to invest in BitDice. How much can I earn in profit on a monthly basis if I invest around 5 Bitcoins in Bitdice? Have anybody here tried investing with them before? It might be a better idea to put some BTC into good use rather than storing it in a wallet doing nothing. It is hard to predict as it depends on how much is wagered and won/loss during the month. You can check the investing graphs in the user profile section which can give you a better idea of site's past profits, etc. |

The fork will happen when you least expect it, Be prepared!
The fork is automatic after a certain percentage of nodes are running BU right? I'd also be curious how we would be able to manage both coins if a fork did occur. I'm guessing we would indeed need a new wallet for this. |

How much will transaction fees eventually be?
That is difficult to know, the concept of supply and demand applies here, demand is high but supply is limited, so the fees go higher and that is exactly what happened, there are some proposed solutions to try to remedy that, but we are in the middle of a political debate about which one is better. Yeah, I really hope we can find a good solution to lower bitcoin fees without causing any negative consequences to Bitcoin. |

hi,
thanks for the info, it was useful for me. As I am aslo a newbie in the forum, can anyone give me an advice for transferring btc from one very old wallet into a newer one. The old is on my p, and the new is blockchain online wallet. I tried sending from one to another, but failed. Please help!
You should just be able to send from your old wallet to an address in your new wallet. Did you receive an error when it failed or what happened exactly? |

Yes I realize that it is now very much gambling with payment tool such as bitcoin and altcoin. In some gambling sites who previously use payment with a credit card is now also started use bitcoin and altcoin as a payment tool. Far as I know this happened because bitcoin payments could keep personal information (anonymous) so that it is more sought many gamblers, it is more safer and does not need to worry about theft of information like a credit card.
Yeah, bitcoin and altcoins are simply a better method of payments for cases like this. It is so much easier to use cryptocurrency instead of of a credit card and you don't need to supply other personal information. |

Hopefully fees don't keep going up as the block reward decreases. although, if the fees don't increase over time, it seems like mining will just be less and less worthwhile over time.

Yeah that 200 btc was definitely one of the biggest bets I've seen recently. It is a shame for him that it was a losing bet though. Would have been nice to see that one hit a win.

The problem is the price to even look into this is probably going to be a lot of money with no guarantees. Get a few different opinions and a few different quotes.
Yeah, these recovery services do tend to be quite expensive which will likely eat into the 2.9BTC on the original wallet. Without a guarantee, I'm not sure I would personally pay for such a service unless you only need to pay if they can recover the data. |

I have the same issue macOS Sierra 10.12.3
Electrum is extremely slow. Anything i click needs from 2-15sec to respond, and also it is synchronising for a long long time...
I am not behind firewall...
Any ideas?
EDIT: I am using 2.8.1 ver of Electrum
It is possible that electrum is just in the process of synching. This can take some time initially in order to fully sync. During this process, it is possible that the CPU usage of your machine is maxing out which could cause the slow to respond clicks. I recommend checking the Activity Monitor to verify if this is the case. If you leave Electrum running for a while it should be able to fully sync which I believe would resolve these issues. |

Hey there. I don't mind waiting just a bit. But when you transfer $500 and it cost $0.55 and say you do this say 10 times a day for example, that surely would add up. I only do a few transfers a week etc but i definitely dont mind it taking a bit of time if i dont need the btc sent there immediately etc.
But why was it back then when i sent a bigger amount of bitcoin, my fees were only like under 15 cents etc?
Also i heard Viabtc txaccelorator. Does that work for electrum etc?
Lately the network has been fairly congested and higher fees have been needed for confirms to happen in a timely manner. The fees will grow based on the number of inputs and size of the transaction, but the actual value doesn't matter. ViaBTC accelerator will work for any transaction and it can help speed up transactions with lower fees. I wouldn't rely on it though as using correct fees is definitely a better approach. |

This limit controls how many spent transactions per address are stored on the server. The default is 100, but there are also servers with 1000 or even 10000. Few addresses have more than 10000 transactions. A limit this high can be considered equivalent to a "full" server. |

The phone app won't have access to your ledger so I'd imagine you'll need to use the desktop app with the ledger connected.
You should be able to go to New/Restore and setup a new electrum wallet and select use hardware device when it gets to that point. I believe this will then set up the wallet to properly use your ledger and show the balance of your ledger device.

if you setup a virtual maschine where you just have electrum, it should be as safe as a cold storage then right?
Does the Virtual Machine have internet access? If so, then it would not be as secure as cold storage. Additionally, there is still the risk of your primary machine holding the Virtual Machine to be compromised as it is connected to the internet. It may be more secure than storing it on your main machine but still not as secure as a true cold storage. |

The sender is the one who pays the fee. You never pay a fee to receive a transaction with bitcoin ( unless the fee is deducted by the sender from your transaction ).
If you did indeed receive the funds to a multisig address, hopefully you know that this is not a standard wallet and spending from a multisig wallet is more difficult.

I broke the laptop and the wizard deleted all my secret records, there was only a purse and there are funds on it, and now I can not get them out as I do not remember the passport, what should I do?
Did you write the seed words down when you created the wallet like it said to do. If so, then you can simply create a new wallet and select to restore from seed. Then you enter the seed words and your wallet with all the funds will be regenerated. If you didn't write down the seed words, then you are likely out of luck. |

A 0% edge casino wouldn't be sustainable unless its a PVP game and there is no house. It is certainly attractive to players but I think an edge of some sort would be required for the casino to stick around.
