The donation page says that Bitcointalk collected its donations at a time when bitcoin wasn't worth anything. To be precise, they used the term "worthless". The page also states that the forum finances its operations from ads and they have a huge reserve of hundreds of bitcoins. The forum doesn't need or expects additional donations. Even if you lowered it to 1 BTC to become Donator or VIP, I doubt many would be interested.  

That's a bad attempt dude, a very bad attempt...

That seems shady. If the rules allow users to claim coins from the casinos every 10 minutes, every hour, X times a day, when the balance is empty, etc., how can they say that the players are abusing the system? The system allows the player to claim it exactly the way the casino set it up to do. 

Like other users have said, the sole fact that certain coins haven't been moved for 5, 6, or more years, can't be used to argue that those coins are lost or inaccessible. But my guess would be that at least half of the addresses that haven't seen any activity in the last 10 years can be considered out of reach somehow. Bitcoin has had several bull runs in the last decade, and it's hard to imagine that so many people didn't cash in at least a little bit.

I do remember reading a Chainalysis report from the beginning of the year where they estimated that at least $100-$200 billion worth of coins are forever lost. That's the value the bitcoin had half a year ago, it's much more now.     

The amounts that are being transferred don't affect the total fee that the sender has to pay. The fee is determined by the number of inputs and outputs, type of addresses being used (Segwit or Legacy), and things like 2FA, multisig scripts, etc. That transaction of yours had two inputs. If one of the addresses you initially sent to had enough coins, you could have used only that input and paid less in transaction fees. A transaction of 0.00016200 BTC made up of 2 inputs is more expensive than a 1 BTC transaction that only has 1 input (if the same sat/vbyte fees were used).   

Private keys - plural. Each address has a different private key.

If you consolidate your inputs at a time when the transaction fees are low, you will save money when it's time to move those coins elsewhere since you will only be spending from 1 input. Remember what I said before, the amount of coins you send doesn't affect the mining fees you pay. Inputs and outputs do. 

Another reason to consolidate and avoid the hassle of multiple signed messages from multiple addresses.

I just did a quick test with a French IP address and the restrictions seem to be still active. Try with another VPN provider or different server. Maybe the site doesn't recognize it as a French IP, but one from an allowed neighboring country. Also check your IP on https://www.myip.com/ or a similar site to make sure it displays it from the correct country.

Here is what I get:


 

You were right about Bitsler. It is possible to claim 25 BTSLR coins every 10 minutes. The maximum is 20 claims in a 12-hour period. I will add that to my list as well with the next update. About those Bitsler coins, can they be exchanged for other crypto or do they have any value outside of the platform?

Jučer sam pričao sa jednim članom njihove korisničke podrške u vezi nekog drugog problema. Javilo mi je neku grešku kad sam potvrdio listić za opkladu pa nisam znao jel prošlo ili ne. Skinulo mi pare sa računa a nisam vidio da je listić prhvaćen. Uglavnom, fina teta iz korisničke službe mi je tad rekla da imaju određenih problema sa stranicom i dijelom koji se tiče sportskog klađenja. Svjesni su problema i rade na otklanjanju istih. Budemo vidjeli kako će to ići.

It shouldn't be any different than what we have seen for the club competitions during this, but also in the previous season. Many teams had to play with multiple players sidelined due to COVID. The results were still valid, it's no different from when you have injured or suspended players. The last two years were a huge mess in club football, and all you can do is to adapt and rely on the strength of your squad. 

I think they do because many gamblers prefer to remain anonymous and if the casino requires them to undergo KYC, they lose their privacy and they can no longer be considered anonymous players. It's also dangerous to give away your sensitive data that will end up being stored on some servers somewhere because of the possibility of those records being hacked or sold one day.

Therefore, if we are comparing two casinos with equal payout history, I would consider the one that doesn't require KYC as the better choice.

Congratulations, you are now part of a club of members who can call themselves self-made legendaries. Although I started as a Hero when the merit system was introduced, I am also a member of the club after earning +1000 merits as well. 

You might want to edit a few things in your OP: 

You aren't anymore...

Target acquired...

The signing process of funded addresses is the same as for empty ones. If you sign a message from an address that contains bitcoin, you effectively own that address and the coins in it.

Regarding point b, it depends. If you are supposed to send a client 0.2 BTC and you sign an address which contains only 0.1 BTC, the client will know (if he checks) that you don't have the required amount. If it's the other way around, he can see you have enough. 

Thanks for linking to my thread. Trying your chances with crypto casino faucets is possible, but without plenty of luck and some sports knowledge (in case of sports betting), you wont get far with faucets either. I put a link in the OP of my faucet thread to another thread I created about withdrawal fees and minimum withdrawal limits. OP can use that as a source when researching the requirements to move money to his personal wallet.

That is a possibility, however, most of the casinos don't accept applications by newbie members. If they did, you would see hundreds of newly created accounts who apply for those things.

Nothing in this world is free my friend, especially not a rare and precious asset like bitcoin. If you want something of value, work for it. You could try things like faucets, watching ads in exchange for some coins, or answering surveys, but most of the time it's not worth the effort.

This forum is full with knowledge, and it's free. Use that to understand how bitcoin works and then find a way to monetize your professional skills with it.   

Not really. It's simple if you know about it. Where did you get the info from the first time you used those image codes? You either saw it somewhere, asked someone and then memorized the code or saved it somewhere for future use. I am pretty sure not everyone knows about those image tags and just adds the images in their original size or uses another service for resizing like Imgur.

Not necessarily. An ICO isn't a scam just because it's an ICO. Many are, probably the majority is. I wouldn't like to speculate on the numbers because I don't know. I think it's necessary to distinguish those that exit scam or just outright take their investor's money without any aspirations from creating anything, and those who fail for lack of interest, quality of the product, other reasons. If they refund their investors, they aren't a scam. They are just a failed project for this or that reason. 

Theft and breaches of contract or any other written agreement can be easily proven. If you make a deal with me where I have to send you money after receiving certain goods or services and I don't, it's a clear case of a scam. That makes me a treat to the community and I shouldn't be here. The proof can be emails, PMs, crypto addresses that were funded or not, etc. That's why it is important to document everything when you do business with someone via the forum and avoid using things like Telegram where any side of a PM exchange can delete everything.   

I have seen members do that a lot. They upload an image to imgur to take advantage of imgur's quick resizing options. As you know, Bitcointalk doesn't have resizing buttons available when you create new posts. You would need to know the codes by heart to resize your images properly. Imgur, on the other hand, allows you to use the original size as well as different thumbnail and square sizes. 

Like I said in my previous post, I wouldn't consider posting an image as an act of plagiarism unless it's clear from the post that the author is trying to make the public think the image or artwork was created by him.   

Hiding is maybe a too strong of a word here and over exaggeration. Some sites don't emphasize the fact that they have a faucet and aren't giving it importance. Let me tell you what I mean.

If you open the homepage of Windice, you have a button for the faucet at the top of the site (between deposit and exchange). If you visit BetFury, there is a free BNB button on the homepage that will allow you to claim BNB and BTC. But if you visit FortuneJack, there is nothing on the homepage that would have you know that the platform has a faucet. To claim some sats from the faucet, you have to play Dice and go into the settings to find the free faucet button. Unless you know about it, or stumble upon it by accident, there is no way of knowing about the faucet from just visiting the casino.

I don't see that happening. the forum will certainly not move in a direction of censorship, but there will always be rules you have to respect. If those rules prevent you from posting or sharing certain content, you'll have to follow them.

BTW, why are you wearing that under your signature space? Is it worth destroying your forum reputation over it, if you care about those kind of things? 

Is that how you would personally handle such a case? If someone reports a user for sending him an unsolicited PM about working with him, would you ignore the report and maybe warn that individual that he got reported and shouldn't do it again? 

I have seen that on other forums as well, but I am not sure our current forum software supports such a feature. @theymos does it? Maybe it could be proposed as a feature when the new forum software gets rolled out. A notification stating a user is not interested in any offers could make the difference. 

Ja koristim uBlock Origin na dva računara i logujem se bez problema sa Mozillom. Doduše kad sam registrovao nalog prije par godina nisam imao ad blocker. Možda je to razlika

Ovih dana se malo igram sa faucetom i kladionicom i hoću da vidim da li mogu saldo podignuti na nivo koji je potreban da bi povukao novac sa FortuneJacka. To je 0.004 BTC. Sa 523 satoshija sam došao negdje na $20 vrijednosti u BTC. Još puno pogodaka mi treba. Jednom sam to već uspio kad mi je FJ poklonio 0.001 BTC free bet na eSport. To sam malo vrtio i digao na iznos dovoljan za povuči pare.
