801  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: “One Bitcoin, One House,” Nonsense or Reality? on: April 30, 2017, 10:39:08 AM
Zhao Dong, an old Bitcoin holder, suggested to those blind bitcoin investors that:
"if you do not have any knowledge of investment basics, please stay away from the Bitcoin world. You will not get rich, and you are just messing with the Bitcoin market. The fact is those people haven’t realized the real significance of Bitcoin.“ http://news.8btc.com/one-bitcoin-one-house-nonsense-or-reality
he believes that Bitcoin will become a mainstream currency, but it is and will continue to be an experimental new currency for years to come. Put simply, Bitcoin is so not ready to redefine currency. 

meh, i say even as a blind investor you can invest in bitcoin with a small amount. for example 2 years ago you could have bought 1 whole bitcoin for only $200 and i don't think anybody can consider this a big amount of money to invest!
and in 2 years you easily had $1300.

the same goes for now, if you are a "blind investor" then just go in with a small amount like the same $200 of 2015. and hold for 2 years!
802  Economy / Speculation / Re: Prediction - $1500 in 30 days - What do you think? on: April 29, 2017, 02:23:42 PM
It's difficult to predict with certainty, however I think the fact the SEC is reviewing the Winkelvoss ETF may have had an effect on the current price.
Looks like the review period finished on May 15th so if it does have a positive outcome it will increase confidence of institutional investors.

http://www.coindesk.com/sec-orders-review-winklevoss-bitcoin-etf-rejection/

this can only mean there is another dip coming, not a rise!
if we assume this rise is because of this news, then there is a very high chance (like last time) that SEC is going to reject their ETF once again and that means price will drop again :sadface:

with that said, i think this current rise has little to do with this news. it is mostly because of the come back to normal price levels after FUD wearing off. and also a lot of good news such as Japanese massive scale acceptance of bitcoin.
803  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Trading Softwares on: April 29, 2017, 02:12:44 PM
if you do a google search you can find a couple of them. Quatloo is one of them which i believe i read somewhere that QTL (the altcoin that you need to hold in order to be able to use the software) is being delisted! so better have that in mind.

you can also do a github search like this:
https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=poloniex+bot&type=
play around with the keyword and also use the sidebar to select the programming language that you understand.

sadly i have not checked any of these thoroughly to be able to assist you any further.
but also remember most of these are small projects with not much testing so you should expect some possible bugs.
also remember to either understand the code, check it first and then use it or use something that is released by someone you trust or can find some feedback of it developer. being open source doesn't mean they are safe.

805  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitfinex & Poloniex concerns on: April 27, 2017, 09:04:25 AM
If there is trouble at Bitfinex, the stresses may have been increased considerably due to rapid withdrawals from the cold wallet during April. The cold wallet balance has been halved since then and might simply indicate trader jitters, but worries about Bitcoin exchanges have tended to be well-founded.

it is worth mentioning that all this so called "stress" is nothing but the fear of people because Bitfinex banks have blocked their fiat wire transfers and currently there are no other way of getting your money out of that place other than withdrawing Bitcoin (and obviously other cryptocurrencies).

i wouldn't call this "trader jitters"! it is a perfectly logical decision that traders make to get their money (in form of BTC) out and continue their trading elsewhere to be able to function normally.
806  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: My Crypto Portfolio. Will I be able to Retire in 5 years? on: April 27, 2017, 08:55:21 AM
you need to make 5114% profit in 5 years (nearly 1022% profit annually) to reach your target. i can tell you one thing, it is not going to be easy at all. specially if you are buying and holding "altcoins" for long term.

in short term these coins do magnificently but when it comes to long term, they are all limping.
and also the short term doesn't last long. it is mostly "an altcoin season" that they are getting pumped and are giving good profits. but in the end they will all have a dump and then a very long down time (winter sleep).

out of these choices i can say LTC and then ETC are better choices.

If you take a look at 24 hours chart at any source you would like you'll see right about the time forum went down price started to drop by the hour.

that is just a funny coincidence and from what i have been reading, it seems like the downtime was only affecting parts of the world and not everyone.

glad to see price is staying up though.

811  Economy / Gambling / Re: seasoned poker players on: April 20, 2017, 11:50:34 AM
I have been a poker player i wouldn't call myself professional or anything but i love the game, but never online. i have tried many places and none of them shows me enough trust to make me want to stick around.
that is one thing about dice that i like, it is easily provable that it is fair.
but you can never say it about Poker, it can easily be a bot or the site owners who see your hand!

i have found a solution though. a face to face game with my friends but with bitcoin. you just pay them afterwards.
812  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Circulating Supply / Outstanding - terminology question on: April 20, 2017, 11:27:15 AM
in coinmarketcap, "Circulating Supply" means the supply that has been available. this can be through mining or other ways. some coins are 100% premined then distributed among people. or some other crazy ways some of these altcoins distribute!
in short it is sum of all the coins that has been created and are "circulating" the system.

sorry i don't know what Outstanding is, i will take a look and if i came up with anything i will edit this.
edit: i think it is a financial term they used (http://www.investopedia.com/terms/o/outstandingshares.asp) since when i compare the numbers, they are the same as Circulating Supply.
for example for TorCoin that you linked the number is 1,212,985 TOR same as circulating supply in coinmarketcap.
same for litecoin: 50,729,057 LTC
813  Economy / Speculation / Re: Speculation on the price of BTC if Bitfinex does a Gox on: April 20, 2017, 11:22:19 AM
If something bad happens, then the exchange rates can crash by as much as 30%. That means that we will go back to three digits. But it seems like people have learnt their lesson. Most of the users are not keeping their coins on exchange sites.
hey if they lose their coins they cant dump them anymore Cheesy

bitfinex is nearly empty now!
people are scared, there has been too many hacks and runaways that people jump at the smallest sounds. and fortunately for them they were able to withdraw bitcoin and altcoins from there and everyone surely did.

there are only some high-risk-takes there who are selling on high price and waiting to buy low when the dust settles.

i also say if they don't come back price can go down to $1050

Why withdraw not work?
My username: bomberman

I sent pm..
Wait my winning.

Thx

Hello, bomberman

There are already multiple attempts trying to double spend, multiple accounts and faucet farming.

More than 40 accounts are registered from your IP.

We're sorry to inform you that your account was permanently limited.
40 is too much account for a single IP. It is absolutely for farming purposes. No one will make 40 accounts in just playing a gambling site. There are no reasons in making 40 accounts by a single person.
How exactly the faucet can be farmed? I checked it and it has cooldown of 300 seconds until you can claim coins again.
Combine this with standard withdrawal limit and suddenly it is nothing but pain in the ass to spend all day, switching accounts and to try to win enough BTC to be able to withdraw.
Or maybe there is some other way to exploit the system?

i hope this doesn't come off as a tutorial, but the way faucet abusers abuse the faucet system is that they create multiple accounts (usually as affiliate of one main account) then claim faucet with one, play, if (lose) then go to next account, and if (win) & win==a decent amount then tip the main account and claim again.
that is why you sometimes see so many XXX Tipped someBTC to XXXBank in the chat.
they usually get caught and banned though.

i should emphasize that i am talking about faucet abusers in general.
815  Economy / Gambling / Re: REGISTER FOR FREE AND EARN 70 000 SATOSHI! on: April 19, 2017, 12:24:17 PM
It seems anything that have the word "free" attached to it, one needs to be careful with it because the way gambling sites have been turning these days, its just the best to play on reputable sites with my money instead of looking for free or bonus all over the forum only to be bitten by one admin manager that is not ready for business.

well you gotta give the new sites a change too. and most of the times the good promotions are only found on the new sites. for example you never see giveaways that are big on old casinos because they have already have their frequent players and they don't want any more.
although i should add that this doesn't mean you invest in any new site that comes out.

* 0-confirmation deposits now work for deposits up to 0.2 BTC (was up to 0.1 BTC)

i am very interested in knowing what are the steps you take in order to make sure about these types of transactions to go through and not drop out of mempool or get double spent for example.
specially these days that memory pool is filled with transactions and i am sure many users are still not paying a lot of attention to what appropriate fees they should include for a high priority transaction.
Every decision is been made after alot of thinking and to face the consequences after making that decision.

So I am sure he got a plan for it. Smiley

well, i am particularly interested in this topic of accepting 0 confirmation transactions and i would love to know more about those "plans".

as an example so you know what i mean, blockcypher has a neat API that has a unique feature called "Transaction Confidence" that is presented as a percentage and shows the likelihood of an attempted double-spend succeeding against a transaction. you can see it both in their blockexplorer when you search a TXID and also get it from their API.

you can read the details here:

817  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Digibyte DGB Segwit Activation on: April 19, 2017, 11:37:03 AM
What do you think guys?the price is pretty cheap right now

https://poloniex.com/exchange#btc_dgb

https://segwit.digiexplorer.info/

SegWit activation on these small coins is not really a hype material news. and it won't really matter in the long run either. this coin is in the 2 digit satoshi range anyways which means the demand for it is not really high. so in fact we can't really be hopeful for it as we are about litecoin and the effects it can have with addition of lightning network to litecoin.

with that said the price seems to not agree with me much since it has moved up but that can possibly be because it is a small market.

there is also another really nice project that would also help... it is called Brave Browser. https://brave.com/ i checked out almost all sites and its really nice and works great. it also helps to knock down the adverts on websites.

sorry to be offtopic here since you said it i should ask, wasn't brave browser supposed to be like THE browser to use to see the advertisements not to block them.
because i remember reading that it is supposed to manage ads within browser and pay the users for seeing additional ads inside the browser and pay them with bitcoin.

you are obviously very misinformed. i put a link in my post for the very reason . as myself and several other patrons were trying to assis another patron access the website in question and on topic as assisting another patron helps increase the communities view for the assistance offered even without the direct intervention of the developer! Off Topic would be if a person would be simply to lazy to click the link i put  out. and question the first words that are written on their website!
i dont feel i was off topic as trying to assist another patron gain access to their website but i feel your off topic by asking very poor questions simply because of your lack of information and lack of willingness to find your own knowledge  even if it is a simple click under your cursor!

ROFL, what the hell is wrong with you dude.
someone who posts this should have a better English himself first.
"sorry to be offtopic here" means I am sorry that I am asking an offtopic question here!


to anyone else interested in brave browser what i said in my previous comment was correct. brave browser is THE browser for advertisement. it has a customable adblock which in fact blocks some ads but shows other ads which are specific to this browser. and you can get paid in bitcoin by viewing them (so my memory was right).

@JENREM i wouldn't recommend this browser (since it is still in early stages) for this particular problem you have, as AdmiralSpot said above they are working on it to make it better. and to fix your problem try to stick with known browsers such as Chrome that you already have and Firefox.
you can try BraveBrowser for other things to see how it works but expect ads.

Question for our loyal gamblers...

What gambling features or games would you want to see?

No guarantees on development, but I'd love to hear your ideas. You never know what a "crazy" idea may lead to!

  • a lower house edge would be great. may some promotional times when the house edge even goes down to zero to celebrate.
  • other ways promotional giveaways. i have seen the double time point reward, so something like that.
  • happy hours and rains are always good.
  • the site doesn't have chat so that can be also an option
  • as for games i don't like much else, but many may like roulette, slots and crazy stuff like that.
  • another game that i like is coin flip. a real coin flip not a dice game that they call coin flip.
