If you're new to trading then it is best to start from bittrex. It has the min of 0.0005 btc for an order (buy/sell) to proceed, which is not much at all and I believe the min deposit sum is just the one covering transaction fee. Bittrex has a lot of coins on real prices and the interface is very easy, so you will feel comfort during your first trading experiments. What's bad about this exchange is perhaps only that max withdrawal is sometimes considered low and that to withdraw the money you have to let the website know who you are.

I don't think this advice is accurate. One can indeed know nothing of a coin and simply watch the charts to decide whether to invest in one. Long-term investment based on the chart might be risky, but daily trading or short-term investment does not require a lot of knowledge about the coin. Moreover, sometimes people lose the money because they like the project a lot and don't think whether it would actually be a profitable one. Electroneum is a good example of such a project. Mobile gambling is a cool idea and lots of people invested in it during the ico, whereas right afterwards the price went down in a few times which made people (who sold investment anyway) lose their money, since mobile gambling is cool but requires a lot of time to start actually working.

I fully agree with that. If one wants to dump others and earn some profit this way, one will be dumped as well. These group aren't interested in you getting profit. I think it's better to follow the natural flows, you know. Coins fluctuate a lot without these groups and with some practice I am sure you can become a good trader. I also think this topic should be moved to Trading or Altcoin discussion, since it has nothing to do with gambling. I guess no pump and dump casino groups are possible anyway 

I don't think the prices change really rapidly. If you gamble on bustabit-like casino, there you can see super-fast price changes. It only goes up and is then suddenly worth zero. Fortunately, the real market doesn't have such things and thus you can always sell the coins on some price, not just lose everything.
As for reducing stress - well, one needs to choose quite stable coins for that. NEO, IOTA, LISK, WAVES, DOGE have some price changes (which is enough for profit) and yet don't jump from one price to another like for other coins.

As people already mentioned btc lightning, which is supposed to make transactions cheaper (or so I've heard), but it's not an option yet, please consider accepting payments not only in btc but also in other coins which are cheaper, faster and more stable than btc with its crazy price fluctuations of these days. You should choose at least dogecoin for it. A lot of casinos already use it, because it's the most suitable coin for gambling.
As for another way of organizing the payment system, I read that it's better to use a full node rather than API. I am not a specialist in this sphere, so it's better for you to read it yourself and decide what to do: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Why_Your_Business_Should_Use_a_Full_Node_to_Accept_Bitcoin.

Very good point. At first I thought that maybe it was just a mistake and these people forgot to mention the team members in a project, as it's a new one, but now I see that it looks like they don't want to be known for some reasons. It doesn't necessarily mean they are scammers (for instance, the team might be from a country where icos are forbidden by the law), but it's suspicious anyway.
That's what I tried to do and they told me that no statements of this kind are allowed.
Thanks a lot for the advice! I am pleased that such an honorable member answered in my thread.
Even though the team offered good payment, I decided not to get involved, because I wasn't allowed to state that I am a hired person and the team is still not showing themselves, though in some other matters the project looks okay imho.

Thank you, notaek, it was a great campaign! I hope it will continue some day and I would love to join it then!

Yes, it is more likely about some regulations just as it was before. And besides, people are signing the petition for the government to stop their actions anyway. I really think we now experience the repeated version of this September. The prices might go down even more but that's the greatest time to invest in coins when we still can. We already saw which coin can do what and so now we can just buy them and low prices and wait for about a month till we earn our profits.
Moreover, in a way it's even good that Korea is making the market drop, because then some other people will buy them low and thus the market will become more independent from Koreans and thus more stable and natural.

The only potentially related thing I found is https://www.casinomoons.com/en, but this casinos forbids me to enter (I guess it has something to do with specific countries), so I can't check whether they accept this coin. Why would you want it anyway? Yes, the coin is cheap, but I think that for gambling purposes doge is still cheap enough. And this coin doesn't have much info on the official website about it. I just says something about monetizing likes, but no whitepaper or roadmap are available. Perhaps this project is not even targeting casinos and thus we'll never see it accepted there.

Yeah, 10% is probably the highest house edge I've ever seen! And 0.01 is absolutely crazy for a minimum, I think it should be something like 10-50 times less than that! And something like new users' welcoming bonus would be appreciated. Or, at least, 'play for fun' mode, so that one could test luck and see how the gaming process goes. Come one, paying $120 for one try on a fully unknown website is definitely not something anyone would do. And is this website provably fair? I don't see anything that would allow to check that.

I was asked to create and manage a thread of an upcoming ICO project. It looks legit to me, but the team members are not mentioned on the website (the only suspicious thing about it). I can't be 100% sure if the project is not going to scam people (including me) and I noticed that mainly the promoters of the project (=ones moderating the ann thread) are those who get negative trust in case something goes wrong. However, I would not be related to the project and not be the one who would scam people in case something goes wrong. Can I lead the thread and ensure not getting neg trust in that unpleasant case or it just doesn't work this way and I have to take full responsibility for the team's actions? I would really like to hear answers from trusted forum members who know how these things work on this forum.
Thanks in advance!

Okay, makes sense that the bonus is not to be withdrawn. However, If one wins, say, $100 and still has $700 from the initial bonus then how will it be decided whether it's his money to be withdrawn? Can different kinds of money be divided into separate categories for that?
I don't believe there's $1k bonus anyway. It's just too crazy and it makes no sense to give so much money (even though it still stays on your website) for people to try playing in the casino. And why is it nitrogen rolls whereas the casino is btcjack? Does nitrogensports even know about it? I don't know where's the set up here but that looks really suspicious to me.

I don't know if this website is scamming people, for it sort of can happen that by a pure unique coincidence you keep losing. However, there are many threads on this forum where people say that this website is more likely a scam. I wouldn't play on the website which has (from one point of view) the word 'cheat' in the name anyway. Why not to play in trusted casinos? There are tons of them already! At the same time, though, one can read in their own Terms and Conditions that they do not claim to be a gambling website and the purpose is to provide people a chance of having fun, rolling with no deposit and still having a chance to win. Moreover, "The Website does not disclose algorithms used to determine user rewards and can modify them any time", so they don't even say they are letting you win. I guess you can't hold anger against these kind of people, for they are not stealing your money but, perhaps, not letting you get their.

So IBO is just like bounties? Makes sense, since it is a short form of 'initial bounty offering'. Yet I am not sure whether bounties are always about skills. I have seen bounty threads asking one to join one's computer to mining pools.  At the same time, ICOs may ask you to do something instead of paying money to get their coins as a reward. A rather common situation is when ICO campaign asks you to translate their official info into your native language and they pay you in their coins when they are released. That's why I guess this ibo and ico things don't differ that much and there isn't much sense in distinguishing them.

Yeah, well, Europe is kind of a lot of countries if you think of it. I wouldn't say all of the countries there are friendly. Switzerland and Uk definitely are, but as of countries like Portugal, Ukraine, Greece, Bulgaria, Poland - btc is neither legal not illegal and is mostly just ignored by the law. One might say is equals to being legal, though, since, for instance, in Ukraine there are literary dozens of exchange websites where you can sell btc/eth/ltc for local currency and vice versa, even though the National bank made once a statement that it doesn't recognize cryptocurrencies as means of payment.

MA40, omg, I didn't know there were so many forks invoked. I heard that btc lightning is supposed to make transactions cheaper. Are there any thought on that? Will it truly help? Oh, and will it be an official fork on btc implemented into it, or another coin like bch and btg? According to the scheme it's the latter, right?
I am also wondering why the tree starts on the 1st of August, since on 6 August 2010 there was an issue that lead to btc getting forked for the first time (even though it didn't lead to bifurcation of it).
 

The situation described by the op is worth to be worried about, but if you say there were no problems before then perhaps it is just some misunderstanding or the op's account was hacked. However, I see quite a lot of scam accusations on various websites related to this casino. Their overall reputation is not a good one. There are about 10 scam accusations of it on this forum as well. Oh, and jakem is a newbie but has neg trust already.
Op, I suggest you to speak with admins of 999dice carefully and kindly ask them to let you log in and withdraw your money. Be patient and polite, for perhaps these people are still not so bad.

I agree that eth is not doing very well and bitcoin is probably the worst coin for gambling due to high transaction fees one needs (usually) to pay to withdraw money. Doge has been the best in gambling for a long time. I think that's the only reason this coin is still alive and even manages to experience some pumps from time to time. However, for some gambling websites doge is not appropriate, since there are no smart contracts available.  At the same time, it is worth to use smart contracts, because it ensures scam-free gambling. In such cases it's better to use eth tokens like vsl.

Well, it's already between 10 and 20, you know, and I don't think it will rise a lot in the nearest future. This coin has not much to offer and the reason it stays on the market is that there are people using tor and using the coin as means of payment (do they?). I'm not saying it's bad but imo these kind of coins may rise slowly long-term, so I'm not sure whether it's worth it.
What profit did you make with the coin (if any)? If you lost some money then I suggest waiting and if you won at least 2x then sell 80% of it.
