7901  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Making a living from signature campaigns, is it possible? on: July 20, 2017, 01:15:06 PM
A lot of people here participate in signature campaigns but is it possible to make a living from doing it?

usually we dont answer these, but I see you have a legitimate question here. I checked out your website, nice list : i may submit articles to a few on your list Wink

it works like this; there are various signature campaigns around that pay an amount per week based off of your forum rank and posting activity. with a new account you might be able to get 10 bucks a week; with a mature account you can make about 70-100 a week, depending on bitcoin price. depends on where you live; if you live in an economically depressed area its a great deal of money. But if you live in the States, or the UK for example. you might cover the utility bills/car note with it. far cry from a "living", so to speak
but, if you hold the coins and the price double, you have double the earnings Wink

takes over a year to get to the forementioned point, so it something that should be organic, not a goal.
10 Bucks per week with a new account, that's quite an optimistic calculation, it also depends on what you mean as "New" account. Anyway, you can definitely earn a good sum of money if you are a high rank, Sr member for example, but it takes quite some time and dedication to get there.
You can't have a direct answer about your question though, the average wage in each country is different. If it's $300 per month in your country, yes you could possibly earn the same amount from a high rank campaign. However, if you live in USA for example, where the minimum wage is a lot higher than $300/Month, you can't earn enough to support yourself just by signature campaigns. You could definitely use them for some extra cash though.

I've been to places where people earn less than $200/month.  So given a mature account, technically it is possible.  I'm actually surprised that more people from undeveloped countries don't find their way to this forum.  For developed countries it's not a significant amount to cover your expenses.
If they did then expect this forum would be more crowded and those signature campaigns wont really be the mean purpose of advertising the company but just as a source of income which is really a bad thing to view on. Signature campaigns arent really decide to make a living but this would be just as a side job but as other members said here it would really depend on where do you live because value of bitcoin would really be different when we do speak on state of living on 1st world and 3rd world countries.

before segwit , in end july i want stop ga3mbling
play again and deposit again after segwit end
I have actually the same questions on my mind too regarding on this matter that how gambling sites would prepare on this upcoming segwit.Im glad that they are preparing already just been posted above by a user about plans of Cryptogames. Hope FJ would have the same preparations too not only to these sites but all gambling sites should really plan as well and as a player, i would do the same thing too which i would pass on playing gambling on those days and wait for the hype to  be over.
Why unnecessarily taking the risk, still how many days left only 10 days right just keep your bitcoins safe in your wallet and just watch what is going to happen that's it. Without doing gambling if you do not get sleep means you can think but this is not a big matter for ordinary gamblers. I stopped playing and stopped my transactions. 

Another way is to gamble on sites that use ethereum or usd, there are actually still 10 days to do the transaction but we have to keep playing safe, chances are I will also stop the game around 27 july and wait until the decision segwit announced. During that time I will not trust any bitcoin transactions because there will be many bad guys who will take advantage.
Playing with ETH and other altcoin would really be a good conversion but to play safe better not to play at all and we can really hold up for just few days before tending to play gambling again. You are right we should not really trust bitcoin transactions specially on the nearest days of August 1. If you dont like to suffer or experience problems then better to avoid as early as we can.

7904  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has gambling affected your life in a good way? on: July 20, 2017, 10:14:34 AM
No. Not at all.
The motto of gambling is "shortcut to huge sum of money"
which is exactly opposite of how life works.

Gamblers are generally a poor manager of money.
This is how gambling actually works and gamblers do really seek out for money thats why they do play gambling and yes its really goes on opposite ways thats why we can really say up that gambling will mostly destroy ones life rather than on helping them with their life on a good way,maybe theres some lessons to be learned but this is just only on personal realization.
7905  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Superstition on: July 20, 2017, 09:43:07 AM
If you are not superstitious then you likely aren't gambling. In any bet you are probably going to lose your money. So why do that? Perhaps because you think the odds will be different for you? Maybe your prayers will be answered or your "lucky" rabbits foot will help? A cold mathematical look at gambling shows it to be a foolish act. 


If you are looking at it from a rational point of view then it does not make sense, but many gamble just to get some fun, so instead of being seen as something where math needs to be applied then you need to view it as a form of entertainment and in that case gambling is not that different than to watch a movie in a cinema or parachuting.

Actually, mostly gambler are superstitions, may be he is one of them. But it is not bad or good, it is a habit. Because people think that now today they win because of he do something unique and different thing. Then on the other hand, some people think that today they win because of luck, Then clear both are superstitions, but the difference is that we believe on luck but other ones believe on different things. 

You have a point. I also believed that most gamblers are very superstitious but some are not just admitting to it. But you will learn from them are they win big and attributes it to something besides luck. You will hear them telling stories about how they change their luck by like changing seat or just simply change their playing way. So whether we admit it or not, most of us are into superstitions without knowing it.
We were in belief that somehow there's a way for us to win or gain in gambling in any possible means,so we keep on trying different strategies to make it work until we thought that we already did.
As a gambler, almost everyday we do make or seek out for new strategies on which it would really give the chances of getting a winning bets or shall we say a lucky day for us. Thats the reality on gambling that we do always seek on everyday for another tactics and strategies that we do try that it might work and there would really comes to a point on where we do already make some superstitions because of this thing.
7906  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you feel when win in gambling? on: July 19, 2017, 03:51:21 PM
I am not very lucky that I win each and every time I gamble but whenever I win first of all its really hard to believe that I actually won as I am very used to loosing so if I win than its bit surprising for me but it definitely gives me a great feeling that finally I manged to win something.

Trust me, I know that feeling. During gambling activities, Winning is the best feeling gamers/gamblers feel. It comes with this fresh as a daisy kinda feeling and kills all the previous disappointment we felt when we lost.  Back in the day when I was gambling a lot then, Winning is the only thing that makes me leap for joy Wink
In short, even you do lose up 10x and won just once those frustrations would really be gone on an instant and i do feel the same way too when i do play gambling which is really hard to control or realize later on that we are just repeating the cycle all over again. Lose-Lose-Lose-Win (Got happy) bet again - Lose -Lose and so on. Rinse and repeat. This is why gambling sites is profitable.
7907  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you would win a Jackpot what would you do with the money? on: July 19, 2017, 03:19:47 PM
This is a huge amount and it would really only happen on my dreams if i do hit that jackpot then i would definitely buy the things that id want to buy when i was still a poor man. Smiley But first of all before doing such thing i would really make some investments so that i would still earn money if do spend all the money i had.
7908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Play with your profit or not? on: July 19, 2017, 02:24:31 PM
Maybe it is a good idea to use what you gain from investing to fund your gambling but do not dip into the main capital. It would be a good idea to keep gambling​ under control and you can spend the winnings accordingly. If you only spend your investment earnings then you can afford to gamble for life. Smiley That's the best way to do it. If making money is your objective then you just leave the investment and watch it grow.
I agree ,Using your income or your earned money from some winnings and earnings is a good thing .Also playing gambling should be always in control even you are only playing for fun always spend what you can afford to lose.
Thats wrong you don't need to leave your investment when you invest ,you need to track it from time to time .
Greediness is one of the main reason why people are keep losing their bitcoins they should manage and make a limit and set your own goal 15% to 20% of winning should be enough to make a profit and be satisfied.. if you are not satisfied and you will greed you will just lose the opportunity to make profit unless if you are just gamble for fun,

precisely, it defines a game is a step better than doing the game in a way that carelessly or does not have a clear purpose. because gambling is just the same as we would like to have a tour but has no definite place to do the tour. So, the advantage could indeed be obtained in any way but you have to know all the advantages of good comes from you keep fighting. Otherwise it would all be ruined
 
Having no purpose would really result unwanted things later on.You said was right that its just like touring without a definite place to do the tour. This is why as a gambler we should really set some goals on when we would decide to get out.Most of the times our greed does really put us on harm and hardly be controlled if your aims is really on making money.
7909  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: July 19, 2017, 01:11:43 PM
It think it's easy, maybe it's just because that you find gambling an easy way to get money. I mean just look, in just a second if you're willing to take the risk and bet all the money that you have in one click, you'll be instantly rich,but the sad part is that you might lose all your money. You can have all the amount of money that you want in a second when you gamble, same as winning the chance of losing money is the same. So, this is a bit risky. Try to control your self.

IMO controlling yourself means you shouldn't think of gambling as of way to make money in the first place. Entertaining, which gambling should be for you, can also be addictive, but you won't be losing money that way, only your time.
You can still lose money even if you consider it as entertainment because you will not be able to be entertain without risking money as your bet. The risk will always be there and you cannot eliminate it unless you stop gambling, however gambling for fun can reduce the risk and can increase the entertainment value you will get.

Gambling is a game of risk, what are you saying that it will reduce the risk if you are gambling for fun? You said it yourself that the risk will always be there and it can't be eliminated unless you really stop gambling. You will never reduce the risk, but I think, the higher the risk, the exciting and fun it gets.

That's true, but it mostly depends on your imagination. Risking one dollar may be entertaining too if your imagination works good enough.

What mirakal  wrote is a contradiction in itself so I don't know how to reply to that. It was probably a literal error somewhere in the text.
I completely agree on this statement that the higher the risk the exciting and fun it gets is high too. We can really feel up tense and nervous at the same time too specially when we are doing already big bets. Gambling would be really addicting on some ways depending on where a particular gambler get addicted too but the common thing here that we can able to make money out of gambling.
7910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to control greed on gambling? on: July 18, 2017, 02:15:47 PM
Always start with a small amount of capital.

If you used to gamble with bigger amount of capital when you gamble, greed will start to come out if you are holding bigger amount.

But if you'll maintain to hold smaller value of capital, you're good.
I can assure you it really doesn't matter if you start with low or high bankroll. If you are greedy, even if you start with small bankroll and win you will continue to gamble and you will try to win more money.
In your opinion, how small that bankroll has to be and how small your win has to be?
Some people have a mindset that if you have a large bankroll, it would lead to a larger profit. It would but the risk that you are taking is harder and more harder to accept if you failed, it's just that you are trying to make something out of nothing and you just have to do it or you shouldn't have deposited it in the first place. You will never be satisfied if you kept thinking like that, you should set goals and when you hit that goal or near to that goal, stop. It's better to walk away with something rather than nothing and be full of regret.
You're right about that and I think preventions is better than addiction, so having no satisfaction over the activities on gambling that yoh're involved with particularly the reason why you can't control greed on gambling. If you wanted to have control on greed, you should think for a change of aspects in life.
If you are a type of person which dont really be contented specially on small profits then usually you will end up like this one on which you would really lose everything in the end. If you are not a sensible person and do only have a fixed mindset then it would really be hard to focus on other things since you will surely stick into gambling itself. You would only feel the regretion of your actions when you are already experiencing bad effects or consequences in the end.
7911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can gambling help you with your life? on: July 18, 2017, 01:26:18 PM
Hey! Good day i really need some answers because its about gambling in your life and other people are playing for it with heart and i just thought that how can gambling help you with your life? and do you gain something from it? does it help you to be wise or worst your attitude will change.. i need answers please!

To be honest, in my opinion gambling doesn't help anything with my life. It is more like a Stress and stress reliever at the same time. because i found gambling as a source of entertainment  and killing time but in the same time is also a stress because if you lose a huge amount of money it is stressful to think about that.

This is also my sentiments. I can't find anything from gambling that can really help me in my life. I remember when I used to gamble a lot in a land based casino, when I go home on the negative side, I'm so stressful that I don't want to worked on the next day. And the same feeling when I was also winning. And when I don't work because of loosing money, I just went out to buy things like clothes to relief my stress of losing. So its a double whammy for me. Didn't work because of stress of losing, then just buy things to relief it. Result: more money is lost on my end. LOL.
In this case you should really stop on playing gambling when you do already know that you are losing too much and didnt give good things into your own life but just stress and unwise spendings. Gambling cant really give some helpful things in our lives on major ways but there still some learnings you would able to get from it.
7912  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has anyone ever tried medicine to control impulsive gambling? on: July 18, 2017, 12:41:56 PM
usually the medicine to control the people who became an addicted only available on rehabilitation center and i don't know if these medicine exist or not but if they're really exist i think only for those who became heavy addicted already trying that but fortunately i wasn't ever try it before
This is my first time to hear or read that there is now an available medicine to control impulsive gambling. But if ever this is a legit info it's great for people who can't control the urge to gamble. But thinking how they will drink it if they really wanna gamble and don't want to avoid it? But even though people must have a clear mind to think not to be addicted in gambling.
They wont really sure to take those medicines if they would know about it on curing impulsive gambling because those addicts do really much love to play gambling no matter what but this medicine isnt really necessary to be taken since ourselves can already cure this addiction if we are really serious on this matter.Our mindset could really help us out.
7913  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Social aspect of gambling - do you ever gamble with a friend? on: July 18, 2017, 12:06:12 PM
I never did gambling with people I just met, so I never got friends from gambling. But gambling with friends often happens, but only with old friends not with new people known.
IF you can call betting with as gambling, We sometimes bet money on who will eventually win in soccer console game, that's how my friends and i gamble.
Gambling with friends while playing console games is the most common thing teenagers do everywhere. Because playing the game console is a fun thing, and include money bets in it to make the atmosphere play more fun.

I think that's cool and I've seen many teenagers and even adults do that it it normally ends up in arguments and fights because they don't readily enter into an agreement before they gamble and some don't even have escrows so all they do is verbal bets and that can result is a fight if one party refuses to pay after a loss.

That is the worst case scenario with betting with your friends. I myself experience this because my friend refuses to pay and said to me that our betting was just a joke. It was a bad experience because you play good and ending up screw but it's good too that the betting game is not ended on a fight.

Sometimes it will happen too on others if they do not set rules for betting. To avoid this they must do a rules or they money that goes to betting are in the hands of other people so the fight or commotion will less likely to happen. If you lose just accept it.
It's not the worst, not even bad. You're just not firm in making deals. Joking is often out if gambling console games with friends, but if you are firm in making a deal, in the end he will also pay.
If you lose, you better pay up because that's how you are going to betray yourself, not just others but LIFE itself. You are a traitor if you don't keep your word, don't be so happy that you are running away with something, that's just disgraceful.
There are people who are like this on which they do ran up or they dont mind on paying up if they lose up on the deals. Some wont really mind up on how disgraceful this thing is.  Playing gambling with friends do gives excitement together with add up on deals on which who win or lose up but we should really take the responsibility on paying up.

ICOICOICOICOICOICOICOICOICOICO < that's the ICO train better to jump in before losing your millions Cheesy
Are you freaking kidding me? For about 500 btc? I would say it would really be hard even on 50 btc op would really have a hard time on asking it.Hes dumb enough for sure on asking on a newbie account telling about a new concept of gambling? I dont think so. ICO is the best way but accumulating such amount would be near impossible on just building a gambling site.
7915  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can gambling help you with your life? on: July 17, 2017, 02:56:44 PM
There might be others that gamble because of entertainment but mostly of the gamblers are gambling because they want to have easy money without realizing the possibility of losing every penny they have if they will be addicted into gambling.  So for me the only thing that gambling can help one's life is a LIFE LESSON, a lesson that gambling is not the easy way of being rich.
Thats one of the lessons on which do gamblers would able to realize which theres no easy way to become rich in an instant specially on playing gambling. This game will only be helpful when we do win some amounts or even hitting jackpots since it would really patch up our financial capability but if we do extent it on longer basis then mostly the lesson or things we do earn from gambling is on how to control yourself /emotions and a better money management.
7916  Economy / Speculation / Re: Invested when BTC was at 2550 and 2320. What to do now? on: July 17, 2017, 01:52:16 PM
Hello,
I bought into BTC when it was worth both 2550 and 2320 for my personal trading.  I now have 0.2007 BTC and not sure when I should get out.  I have lost in total a hundred dollars just to the price of BTC.  Is it worth it to get out now or should I wait for it to go back up to these prices?
Depending on your current financial state. If you are on need of money then no choice but to cash-out but if you dont need money and this amounts is solely for investment then better to hold off and dont stress out too much into yourself regarding on what you have loss there. Prices would eventually rise up later on, no one knows on when but still guaranteed that it would reach up that range or even go higher that what you are expecting too.
7917  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Social aspect of gambling - do you ever gamble with a friend? on: July 17, 2017, 01:06:55 PM
Hi guys!
Many people find gambling a bad habit because of many various reasons. One of them is the fact that gambling is considered to be an asocial activity. But are they right? Do you really think that gambling is making you asocial? Or it's the right opposite? Have you ever find new friends while or thanks to gambling? Do you ever gamble with someone else? Would you take part in some kind of a team based tournament? Or can you think about anything that could make gambling more social activity? Maybe we can change this with your help!
Let us know what do you think about that
Yours OshiHugo

I used to gamble with my friends before. The most interesting part of playing gambling in the house of casino is  when you meet another friend from there. But now,I play at the online casino and my casino site is nitrogensports which is very good site,so try it and you'll never regret.
If you do have the capacity to play on an online casino then it would be really a good experience. Boosting up social relationship among other gamblers which is good but most of us do already engage on online gambling since we can able to play without the need on going out on our house which is really an advantage for those persons who dont like to gamble with other people,just like me.
7918  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you set up limits for yourself? on: July 17, 2017, 12:10:55 PM
Setting limits is the one thing I couldnt in my past years. Learnt it the hard way, lost much because of not limiting myself. Emotions and not controlling when you gamble in a game which needs pure luck will not give you any returns, you need to be practical and understand the situations before putting your money.
Not only you do have this kind of problem but all of the gamblers worldwide either on online or physical gambling places/sites. Limiting ones self is really hard to do specially when you do know that you do have money in your pocket which you would surely put into your mind that you can still keep playing since you do have still money and might win on the next bet. This is the common thing among gamblers which do aims for money on next bets and hoping to hit the jackpot but sadly ends up on getting broke.
7919  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is betting a good choice for a newbie? on: July 17, 2017, 10:07:18 AM
Be careful of how you spend your bitcoin on. Collecting bitcoin is not that easy and it requires a lot of time. If you are going to spend it on gambling, make sure you are capable of taking risks, not to mention that gambling is not 100% success. If you lose, say good-bye to your bitcoin. I recommend spending it on many other things that are beneficial for you.
yes i agree with you dude,nowdays bitcoin price cannot predict,and of course collecting bitcoin being harder,we cannot wasting our bitcoin,even newbie should playing gambling to earn bitcoin fastly,they need any skill and experience,try to play from faucet,and not take a risk with deposit any big funds.
Earning bitcoin nowadays is already hard considering that bitcoin becomes more valuable as the time progress. Betting on newbies wont really be a good choice because tendency of getting addicted would really be there. Playing with faucets would be good just trying out the game and this is how we should treat gambling but be wary on your actions because this might be the reason for you to deposit money when you lose up those faucet amounts.
7920  Economy / Speculation / Re: Lol @ Hardfork panic on: July 16, 2017, 03:54:34 PM
If it's not one thing it's another. People are always panicking and dumping their coins, and what do you know..... the price always rebounds much higher.


Yes it is now seen that bitcoin prices are rising again. Although only a few tens of dollars but this is very meaningful. There is a chance that there will be another rise some time ahead, if this is true then there will be many people who will regret having been wrong in making a decision.

There have been people waiting for $100 coins since early 2015 and it never happened. Now there are hardfork panicers discussing $1000 coins, and I doubt that will ever happen either. They will regret selling below $2000 when Bitcoin is $3000+.
If they do secure profits on those sell points then theres nothing to regret since they are on profits but its much better if they decided to wait. Pullbacks or rebounds would really happen since we arent like to dump forever on bitcoins price. If theres a storm there would be a sunny day after. Panic sellers cant be avoided since they do see the trend of the market and some may just cut lose or some are taking profits or sell just to buyback a little lower.
