I just wanted to see if people here use just-dice a lot, even if it's CLAM only now.

The website design is very simple, I just would like to know, -if you do- why exactly do you gamble in Just-dice?
Depends. Long term site, trust full owner. If someone plans to invest, then he can be assured it will be safe

After I bought the Bose Soundlink Mini speakers, I tend to avoid headphones for home use.
For outside, I use the Koss headphones

824  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ripple has no inflation, right? Will it replace bitcoin? on: December 17, 2014, 05:09:32 PM
So bitcoin sucks due to inflation. Everyone knows it. Nobody wants to buy it. It has a bad image already and this forum is scammers protecting scammers basically.
So along comes ripple with some other crooks attached but the part they got right is the inflation-part.

So bitcoin done - ripple hello?

After all it should be investement vehicle and store of  wealth but neither ripple nor bitcoin is that.

So what we do? Nothing?



Even CLAM has inflation Smiley
Maybe that can replace bitcoin Wink

Is that the maximum limit for that site?
Didn't know they accept amazon as wll.

This thread is still open ... wow.
I dont se why the owners would feel this is wrong, when similar services are offered for other sites.
827  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Just-Dice.com : now with added CLAMs : Play or Invest on: December 17, 2014, 04:58:54 PM
I am curious whether it was announced before how the CLAM distribution would happen, or did it happen randomly?

Going to assume it was done randomly, else it wouldn't have been fair. With that said, devs did know (as did people close to them). There's nothing to give insight as to if they exploited this knowledge though.
I think I read somehwre, that 50,000 Addresses were created then, so that person could definitely sell those CLAMS for btc, and drop the price.
828  Economy / Speculation / Re: What will you do if bitcoin price fall down to $100 ? on: December 17, 2014, 04:58:17 PM
...
I sold my house when it was @1000 usd, I estimate ROI in 2016.

How's it going thus far?
I am sure its cheaper coins now, time to buy more Tongue
JK, I am sure you would be going through hard times now if that were true.
829  Other / Meta / Re: The identity of theymos revealed? on: December 14, 2014, 10:00:26 AM
I seriously don't understand, why do people care to reveal identities if people have done nothing wrong.
THe bitcoin world tends to stay anonymous for no reason.
830  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is stealing bitcoins illegal? on: December 14, 2014, 09:41:08 AM
yes if you can steal them it is illegal, as per the views of US government right now and a lot of other countries Bitcoins are property and whenever you seize property that does not belong to you thru actions of theft it is illegal and punishable by law. if the value of the theft is over 1000 dollars in most cases it is upgraded to a felony charge and can get maximum sentancing. so if you steal as little as 3 BTC you have committed a felony in the eyes of American law Smiley

That is interesting.
I didn't know that there was a threshold for the amount stolen to decide the severity of the crime.
In my country, I don't think that the quantity involved has an impact on the punishment for the crime.

In almost all jurisdiction exists some threshold on the amount stolen to calibrate the sentencing terms. Relative big amounts get harsher terms while relative small amounts get lesser terms. You know stealing 100$ to a Bill Gates type is not the same as robbing him of 100$ million.

Most of the bitcoin theft happens electronically by hackers, which makes it almost impossible to trace.
Even if a site like Mtgox, shuts down, then they can just say that the coins were compromised by a hacker, and there is almost no way to prove that they are responsible for it.

Just-Dice.com number 2 in "most invested dice sites" Tongue But I guess it's ok since it is still much less than a JD BTC site Tongue

https://i.imgur.com/kEoAEeO.png
Thats true its much less than a BTC site. But the amount as a CLAM site is even more impressive.
CLAM is also doing great because of it, strong buy orders in the range of 0.006-0.007, with the current price being 0.007.
832  Economy / Speculation / Re: Seriously ... whats your buy price? on: December 14, 2014, 09:32:22 AM
I bought a few coins at $339 on BTC-e, hope you guys took the btc-e buy signal when it hit 337.. Not sure if it'll make 390 now without dippng first, but knew it would be a decent catch
Even if does dip which could be a possibility, over the entire span of year hopefully you should see it rise again.
833  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 14, 2014, 09:31:07 AM


Officially getting killed more and more everyday. Stagnation is NOT good!

Stagnation is good...
Before almost every bull run there is a long dull sideward movement...

It is definitely good, but sometimes after a lot of stagnation the prices tend to move down as well.
Thats what happened after a week long stagnation at the 450  level. But would still be hard to predict the movement.
834  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Fire hazard and bitcoin mining at home on: December 14, 2014, 01:43:00 AM
Buy some self activating fireballs.  I have one on top of each of my metal wire racks, and also tempered glass between each shelf and miner to prevent one from killing them all. If the heat and fire actually spreads the fireball takes care of the shelf and the room.

What is a self activating fireballs?

They are just normal balls, which you throw in a fire and they splash open or something, thus extinguishing the fire.
Its a better alternative to the fire extinguisher. And you could just leave it aside the miner, and it will extinguish it itself.
835  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: The cost of electricity in the world on: December 14, 2014, 01:40:15 AM
$0.31 here in Germany, and they have started using loads more coal because they stopped usuing nuclear and are trying to use renewables, but it isn't working too efficiently yet..

I thought prices in the Europe would be the lowest due to all the renewable energy resources.

Nope and UK England is just as bad than Germany. current prices depending on who you are with are about £0.10 to £0.35 and a standing charge of £0.25 to £0.30 per day. Prices here are getting to be a joke then adding VAT on top of prices hikes to around £0.17 ish per unit for Electricity. While Gas being around £0.03 to £0.05 per unit.

"Renewable" energy like windmill cost more than other sources.

Nuclear is very cheap.

Thats true, but thats only because the initial cost is high.
the government usually takes care of that, by offering just a little higher than what it costs to them.
I think Sweden has low prices for electricity,
836  Economy / Speculation / Re: Predicting Flash crashes (solution found?) on: December 14, 2014, 01:39:01 AM
Hello i just want to share an idea and hear feedback, i must have been said here before but neverthless:

Is looking on blockchain (or similiar sites) and monitoring incoming huge ammounts of BTC to the accounts of major exchanges (bitstamp, bitfinex, those chinesse ones etc.) a good way for predicting a flat crash...? I got a "hint" that some of the more experienced users might do so... As far as i know, major exchanges have only limited and probably by this time well known bitcoin adresses, so if someone monitors them on blockchain and seesa  huge ammount of incoming BTC to these adress (thousand of btc for example), that might be quite a good indication that the exchange is heading for a major flash crash...

Is this basic idea a good way for predicting flash crashes of BTC price?

It might mean something, but the person might just be transferring funds.
An if he doesn't sell, you could just be standing there with all coins sold, without anything happening to the price.
837  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Any other site accepting CLAM? on: December 14, 2014, 01:36:22 AM
I know only of JD now.

Are there any other sites accepting CLAM deposits (now/plans for the future?) ?



THere is no other site which accepts CLAM right now, but a lot of exchanges might pick up the coin soon enough.
I think one other exchange already has.
838  Economy / Speculation / Re: Imagine the pop when Amazon finally relents... on: December 14, 2014, 01:35:32 AM
I am sure they are aware that there are lots of people looking to buy amazon items with bitcoins. So in a way, it is better for them to actually start accepting.
I still wonder, what stops them from doing so.

The amount of bitcoin fans who are pestering Amazon is a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of people who either a) aren't even aware of bitcoin yet or b) are aware of bitcoin, don't care about it, or are like me and use bitcoin but are happy to buy from Amazon with my credit card.

But a drop is also a lot. The number of people who would be willing to order things, once they start accepting bitcoins is a lot.
Its true that it might be hard to estimate but there is no harm for them to actually experiment it.
839  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Best mining machine? on: December 13, 2014, 09:42:01 PM
Firstly it depends on what altcoin algo it is.
A lot of them use scripts and some use mixed algos like X11,13..

I am also hoping to see something new come out in 2015 for mining coins.
840  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Should I Invest I think its a good deal on: December 13, 2014, 09:37:39 PM
This a surely a scam. Even with real hardware, you can't double your money in a year.
I reported the page to indiegogo. its clearly a scam.
Not even the banks offer more than a 10% interest every year for the money you leave them with.
