I believe one of the earliest is moonco.in which was closed after a major hack. Satoshidice is the first and longest onchain dice gambling and primedice was one of the earliest in offchain dice.

Hello! Just a newbie and im really curious how the bitcoin in the black market cannot be traced. How are they hidden from the blockchain? From what i understand is they are using a mixer. They will trust their coin to a certain website so your bitcoin will be mixed and when you withdraw then your bitcoin is different now. Please explain to me if im wrong and how they'd do that. And if the mixer is the only way, what are the trusted mixer sites? My curiousity is high now  Yup correct. They use a mixer to hide the source of Bitcoin transaction or increase the anonymity. The mixer has to be very trusted, you won't know if the mixer would delete the logs as promised or hand them over to the FBI, its pretty risky. They are never hidden from the blockchain, people just don't know what they are used for. I recommend bitmixer.io, they are rather stable and trusted. |

I vaguely remember something about running a certain bitcoin node that can earn a very small amount.  Will try to find it. Do you mean running a tor relay node can earn you Bitcoins? I would advise you not to as it would need pretty much bandwidth and speed to earn a small amount of Bitcoins, if your provider allow tor relay or exit nodes. If you are interested, oniontip.com is the website. |

Why don't you guys get an escrow to make those bets for you ?
Because otherwise, even though you offer some payouts for a few days, it could all end up as a scam, if people have to trust you to make their bets.
Correct me if I am wrong. Good luck with it.
Those bets are not made using btc, so an escrow would need to change those coins, and make bets on those sites listed which i think is pointless given the time needed to exchange and stuffs. We are sharing the opportunity here. We acquire around 10 - 15 tips per day ( sometimes more , sometimes less ), so profits will be more then sufficient to cover investors. If you don't want to invest, you can also follow the daily tips given here, so in the end everyone makes some money. Cheers. A better idea would be sending 1BTC or more to an escrow so incase you run away, investors will likely be getting their investments back. I'm curious, what if the prediction is inaccurate and the bets loses, will we get our investments back or lose it? |

I logged on today and found 50,001 satoshis sitting in my spare account which I never use. No idea where it came from because my stats page shows that I only wagered 2,000 satoshis with 0 wins and 5 losses. Doesn't look like I made any deposits either. I never posted in chat using this account so I doubt it was from someone else. Weird... Faucet will now be 200 satoshi's unless your wagered is over 1 BTC. If your wagered is over 1 BTC your faucet will remain the same prior to the update and will increment in the same manner.
Couldn't someone just bet 1 BTC at 98% and get the larger faucet with practically zero risk? Or they could bet 0.5 BTC at 98% two times, again with practically zero risk? I was riding high with PD, up to 0.05 profit, then I crashed down to -0.04 profit and decided that I'd better quit. Haven't played in a while. I think that lifetime profit/loss stat might be too much of a reality check. I know it's kept me from putting in more money once I saw how far behind I was. On the other hand, it's very open and honest of PD to show us this so easily.
Then again, it's possible that some users might look at their lifetime profit/loss and if it's negative then they might gamble even more funds to make up for their losses. 50k satoshi is nice, perhaps someone made a typo when tipping others. Why would they risk 1BTC for a ~1ksatoshi faucet. There are people losing BTC when betting at 98%. If they are found to be abusing, they would most probably get banned, not so practical way for getting a tiny bit bigger faucet, you would need years to ROI. If they don't like the stats, just create a new account or ask support to reset it for you. Not such a big deal for having negative profits. |

if you wont send any fees you wont get any confirmations so your btc will never be send.
its a small fee tho, mostly 0.5%-1%
Wrong, not every transaction will not confirm, they will be rebroadcasted continually until confirmed or just dropped by the client, it depends on whatever client you are using. Most transactions just need sometime to gain confirmations although fees would be a more practical way. |

I just got a VPS and it's currently running as a Bitcoin node..
Right now I really don't know what to do with it.
What can I do with my VPS that can earn me some money?
Maybe you can try running hitleap at your VPS and sell the minute There are some VPS providers which restrict the use of hitleap and other seo programs. It is mainly due to the amount of CPU and ram usage. I just got a VPS and it's currently running as a Bitcoin node..

if you have some TB of HD you can use to mine burstcoin. this coin it is suitable for environment with low CPU power... you need HDD space and RAM if you have some CPU Core you can mine a CPU based coin... just do a search and you can see there are a lot of CPU only coin. like MAGI with M7 o M7M algo... but if you are talking about just one VPS, forget to become rich!!!  Oh well :/ Even with 1000VPS, this will never be profitable, most VPS providers oversell their VPS, resulting in very poor performance. DO NOT mine on VPS, you can very easily get terminated under resource abuse as all the resource are shared and you would be abusing the resources, degrading performance for others. I suggest you to resell your VPS or just leave it there. |

I believe they have a option for investments, they offer 90% of profits for their investors, taking 10% of the profit. If most of the coins are investments from large investments, their profit would probably be very small, factoring in the cost for hosting and other things (coding, security, employee's wages) .
primedice has no option for investment. Neither bitmixer has, what would make no sense. What are you talking about? I'm not talking about primedice. Bitmixer has one, https://bitmixer.io/invest.html. Large proportion of bitcoin may or may not be investments, that is just a guess. |

It seems there was some problem in broadcasting your new transaction a1faf7b6db5bb4ef4a39911ca54152df57758e128cd19fbf16178aea59e06c87 to the network. The transaction can be found on blockchain.info, but not on other block explorers such as blockr, biteasy and blocktrail.
Big surprise! I go to sleep, wake up & my transaction is still unconfirmed https://blockchain.info/address/1N3ND3wijMp2tR5aYv8abZ8audQLcGM6m4  This is getting worse, Blockchain.info where is my money! Now it's not even broadcasting to the network properly. Is every Bitcoin transaction a battle for the highest fees & some transactions are tossed aside, ignored & lost? Also it's Blockchain.info screw up if other sites cant even see my transaction. You are spending a output which is unconfirmed, unless that transaction gets confirmed, the new transaction you made will never be confirmed. For that tranasaction, you included a transaction fee, which is very low. Include a 0.0001 transaction fee next time when you send a new transaction. It may take sometime to confirm but it would be confirmed eventually. |

Thanks from all respondents, based on what I realized there is not way but to pay a fee in order to have a healthy transaction. So I may continue using them and pay them.
For transactions more than 0.01BTC for each outputs and the inputs have high coin age and the transaction is less than 1000bytes, you may send them without a fee. They might take slightly more time than transactions which pays a fee, that's for sure. |

I am actually afraid of keyloggers when using online hot wallets because most of the time people use this service.
Then you should use an online wallet service that offers 2FA and get the confirmation code sent to your mobile phone. That way a keylogger won't work unless they steal your phone and you also have the added extra of getting notified by sms if someone else logs into your account. False, anyone can easily hack your private key if they have access to the server itself (operators, devs) they can also make changes to the system without your consent. If a flaw is found in the system itself, you would be hacked, whether you are using 2FA ornot. A recent incident is Blockchain.info's. If you are using a desktop wallet, you can check the source code yourself and decide whether to download it. |

Interesting. Well what I use is Bitcoin Core QT. I will not store BTC online. I've generated say 6 addresses and done a private key dump on a test system and each private key for each address has been different.
I've taken a new approach. I've generated 5 wallets on an offline system, and divided my BTC against those five wallets. I've then printed out the private keys and stored them in my safe along with a USB .dat file. If the dat file is ever corrupted, I will still retain the physical private keys.
I think the only precaution I'm taking this for is the potential for a brute force attack. Although I do not have much BTC, I am certain there are people out who dedicate quite a lot of effort into cracking the BTC system. So as some of you guys suggested, you don't go around with all your money in your wallet, I've split the load.
Just a pain in the ass to send the btc back lol if I need it.
Who would want to crack bitcoin addresses, unless they are idiots. You would need millions and thousands of years to crack a single private key. Assuming that a shift of algorithm will happen if a weakness is found in the protocol itself. There is really no need for you to split the amounts, if your computer have weakness, all of your amounts will be taken, all the same. |

No, you can't put a price in your signature.  Of course you can. Just program a bot to change your signature every second/minute/hour. Sure but what's the use of buying a server for this sort of things, anyone could just go to a online ticker, problem solved and no time is wasted for coding the bot. |

I learned about RAID 1+0 after this. I thought RAID 5 was better but I never heard of 1+0 until this outage. So did more than one disk fail? I've operated 3-disk SQL databases and had one fail. Just swapped in a new drive and it ran like a champ with no down time.
Doesn't seem that complicated but who knows maybe there's something different.
This forum is pretty old, imagine if they didn't replace new disk every few months, the wear and tear is enough to degrade/corrupt a disk. Two disk failing at the same time is pretty low but possible as they have been running at the same period of time and most likely having same amount of wear and tear. Raid 5 isn't recommend for large disk, bitcointalk probably function on large hard drives due to the amount of post and other things. |

It is a good sign, the client is currently verifying every block in the bootstrap to ensure the authenticity of the blocks. Depending on the age of the bootstrap, you may need to download a few more blocks before you would be up to date with the network.
