861  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sympathetic gamblers looses itself on: December 06, 2023, 01:54:19 PM
This is exactly how some gamblers runs out of gambling budgets and goes bankrupt because they fails to figure what their net worth or incomes value is.

They are basically to believe one who lost $20 has lost more to them who looses $10.
A condolence winning? What the hell does that have to do in gambling? If you are playing your luck it means you accept the possible outcomes and then you proceed and not the other way round. This is not a competition where there will be a 1st, 2nd prize and the rest will get a consolation.

Never get emotional seeing a gambler lose money, it is their fault and they have to take the blame for the loss, not you. Never be sympathetic to a gambler's loss either. Many gamblers are trying to play the victim card and extracting money from others just to play more and repeat the cycle. This is the effect of gambling addiction.

That's right, I currently have a whopping 0 merit left to give  Grin
You will surely get merits again even if you dont wish to become a merit source.

You got 30 merits for making this post, so now you should have 15 sMerits left to distribute out there. Hence the purpose of this thread is over and it should be locked.

Not sure if this qualifies as a hidden merit begging post though, just me thinking out loud, dont mind me. Cool

Fellow users here, it seems OP has already prepared a flag for this scammer, I did not notice until just now because the flag was inactive in the lack of support.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=988147;page=iflags

Please provide your support/oppose actions on the flag and help save some innocent newbies from this low life.

OP, you should put the link to the flag you have created on the first post of this page so that DT members reading this can support it right away. I have supported the same, but I am not on DT, so it wont activate yet.

It would be even better if you use the reference topic as this topic rather than the scammer's topic - because the scammer can delete their thread in future but this thread would not be deleted so easily. In such case, you need to start a new flag, if you do, post it here once done.

Edit:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=988147

@Rikafip Please check the above link. I can see the flag there. But I will wait for the OP to use a correct reference topic, like I said above.

Recently I came accross an article where they discussed how much TDS the Indian government lost because of their 1percent policy.
Indian exchanges are having a tough time running here. From the outside we see them run effectively but in the inside, I am sure they are having their own bad days and trying to recover from the mess. Government's policies are done by people who are illiterate on cryptocurrency and how it works, its benefits and hence they make stuff up in such a way that it hurts people.

No use blaming the ruling part about it - if a new party comes in, they will follow the same shit their predecessors did, same has happened for years now.

We can continue to keep our fingers crossed and hope for taxation reduction and crypto-friendly laws.
865  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who says you can't be a millionaire in sports betting? on: December 05, 2023, 04:27:48 PM
Bet building is an awesome feature in sports betting, allows you to bet on different types and choices at once and you should get them all right to win the total odds payout with higher return than betting one by one. Anyways, making that very lucky bet with a compilation bets at once is so hard a hitting a jackpot especially that using small amount of money can make you that rich.
I think I remember the Parley system on Nitrogensports from this. Multiple bets added on top of another to multiply the wager with the total odds multiplier.

Quote
No, but seriously some people are so good in sports betting and they get good choices and bets and also making profits and a more salary for their pockets. However, don’t get fooled by these screenshots and showing profits because it also might be a scam and promoting his betting signals.
I seriously doubt that such people actually make all their money from sports betting, maybe a small part but not all. The major income they get is from casino's promotional stuff they spread in the community through social media, youtube and so on. Another part is the courses they might be selling on academic websites which is a zero risk investment.

Hence such bets done once in a blue moon never bother me and will not bother you once you realize how its run.
866  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you bet on when your league is in break? on: December 05, 2023, 04:22:43 PM
The fact that leagues have their own breaks makes me think that, as gamblers, we should also adopt that practice.
A good comparison.

Every league knows its time to rest, similar with gambling - done in excess (or not) leads to losses because of wrong decision making and hurried choices. I would suggest keeping a bankroll and manage it, hence the idea of taking a break comes to realization.

Just because some game is going on, should not make you bet on that, because you are already in a disadvantage.
867  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Blackrock ETF Discussion on: December 05, 2023, 04:19:25 PM
It terms of the market reaction is an ETF does indeed get approval at some point next year...I expect the immediate reaction would be a large spike upwards, perhaps multiple thousands of dollars, followed by the inrush of people trying to crash the price or simply just taking profit on the spike.
The market is hoping for good news Grin and that is the reason of the sudden spikes in price.

It is currently the traders wet dream to see ETF approval because then only the next all time high will be reached. I say, keep the sell orders ready for the same - it might be possible by the next year. The market would assume new support levels if it does go through though and it will be higher than 35k USD for sure.

So in the best interest, wait it out and keep both buy and sell orders placed. Who knows suddenly one night it might get approved. Cool
868  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [WARNING] MIR Bounty Campaign - Fake Team + Fake Project on: December 05, 2023, 04:14:06 PM
This is a childish attempt to run a scam project.

The pictures are off high net worth Russian people and they are behind this "token" that none of us have even heard about, yet? If that was really the case investors would be fighting to get a share of these tokens and everyone in this crypto space would have known about it.

It is not uncommon for scam projects to put up famous people/established professionals pictures on their website and run it. We often have to detect these scams by contacting that person on LinkedIn to verify if they actually know about this project.

If you open a flag, I am sure a lot of the users here will support it. That is how we can save some newbies from getting scammed apart from a negative trust rating.
869  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Could I put a bitcoin miner in my yard buried underground in a sealed box? on: December 05, 2023, 03:59:35 PM
Oil filled container? You would have heating issues from that more so because it is in a sealed box.

Problems with the local water supply and type of soil might affect the heat dissipation but not sure about a sealed box. Maybe you can experiment with a heating device in the same setup and see how much the soil is being affected and how much the device is getting heated?

Like @seek3r said, weather issues is the biggest problem which seems to downplay it.

Another point to raise is whether soil temperature affect the flora and fauna, my guess is that it would, but I cant confirm.

How you access the devices in case you have to physically get hold of them is another question.
870  Local / India / Re: Future of Indian Economy on: December 04, 2023, 04:53:11 PM
We are emerging economically, but at a slow rate, in other sectors we are developing apart from healthcare which has slumped down.

These things are not in our direct control, but we have to adjust ourselves to meet the economic trend, so allow it to take its own course while you plan on how to manage savings, earn and grow your wealth.

Crypto has little role to play here, the top GDP countries also have the proportionally high crypto ownership and users.
871  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gambling and Invest in gambling. on: December 04, 2023, 04:43:50 PM
The worst part of it is most of these local gamblers don't even work so how do you expect them to pay you back.
Lending to gamblers is tricky but possible to run a good business from. As a matter of fact, the Lending section of this forum is financing mostly loans for gambling or trading.

But doing this locally in your neighborhood where everyone knows each others underwear colors, it would not be recommended. Either run a pawn shop or be a shark in your local, which is often the case in many under-developed countries. These lenders need to have connections with the local police, mafia and goons in order to live. Its not a safe job at all.

I hope the OP finds something else to interest them, like investing in a casino bankroll, like I suggested to many others.
872  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: A noobie question about secret words on: December 04, 2023, 04:31:52 PM
Wallet has worked well. However I'm a noobie with this stuff. If I buy another computer and download Electrum software there do I need to use recover words?
Use the link @bitmover posted, bookmark it if necessary. Remember that to recover the wallet you need your seed phrase.

Quote
They are behind username and password currently but I'm not sure are they bound to physical device somehow and what point do I need to use recover words.
I dont know if there is a username involved, but there is a wallet naming and a password to encrypt the wallet. These are only required to access the wallet on the device where it already loaded up. You will not need them on a new device where you want to load up your wallet again. There you will need the seed phrase once again and after that you can encrypt that wallet with a different password.

Quote
I understood coins are being held on Electrum servers.
This is wrong. Coins are never stored in servers. The coins are accessible by your private key, electrum is only the "window" to access the blockchain.
873  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in-$200 FreeBTC⭐Win Lambo🔥0.2BTC DailyJackpot🏆$32,500 Wager Contest on: December 04, 2023, 03:50:58 PM
Guess how much a freeroll is getting now at basic? 5 satoshis (rounded up but it's actually more like 0.48+ satoshi now)!
With bitcoin price rising I can see that the freeroll is going to be even less attractive to users. The most we can hope for it hitting one of the top tier rolls and end up with a decent prize once a while. I think the multiply BTC and Earn BTC sections are to be given more importance. But then again prices are rising and people might be getting conservative about their BTC spending.

Exchanging the RP to freeroll increments for limited period only if you have access to your device almost all day is also a good option to take once a while.
874  Economy / Reputation / Re: Is forum reputation enough to influence mixers? on: December 04, 2023, 03:46:50 PM
Since mixers will be soon be rejected on the forum due to the heat they are bringing from the government, do you think that the reputation of the forum and the rejection of these mixers from the forum will be enough to force them to change the way they mix their coins?
The forum is a place to discuss about things and that includes mixers. The stance that the administration here faces mixing services with may influence the way they market their services in the forum but it is unrealistic to think that forum policies will influence them on how they function. After all, there is a huge world outside this forum which influences these services way more because it part of their customer base.

Mixers are out of this forum from the coming year, no use shedding tears about it.

I am still waiting to see how the digital rupee system is going to work out.

The pilot project registration was already started and I think I saw some news articles regarding this but it quickly faded out and is out of the buzz at this point. Regardless so is the CBDC buzz from the net.

I think UPI/banking will be seperate from digital rupee which is supposed to be a CBDC.
877  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you make gambling a profession - a full time job on: December 03, 2023, 05:59:31 AM
But, in a broader sense, can you make gambling a career path, abandoning all other sources of income to focus entirely on it?
The only and only method to make gambling a career path is to be the casino's owner and not play in it.

Gambling is a business and that from the player's side is a net loss, so it cannot be a career path as a player - you might argue that poker players do. That is because their main income is not from the games but the affiliate marketing they get into, the promotions they launch and the stuff they sell. In between they play a bit to be on the camera and that too with different companies money added to their own money.

The first line is just another extension of the "If you cant beat 'em, Join 'em!"
878  Other / Meta / Re: Was the forum better before without Merit or is it better now with Merit? on: December 03, 2023, 05:55:54 AM
I was here 2years before the merit system was started and I am still here after 5years of the merit system.

The good thing/or so we thought, was that alt-accounts would reduce in number and account farming would be discouraged, although the second point has fairly been effective, they eventually are managing to rank up and introduce their own into multiple campaign and defraud them like previously. In other words, there are loopholes and its not perfect, but sometimes merit ends up being a distraction rather than engaging in the community.

So my opinion is that not much has changed, we had bootlickers previously and we still have, its just how democracy works. Suck it up and continue on your one man army life.
879  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Is purchase of amazon gift cards legal and legit? on: December 03, 2023, 05:50:55 AM
I have been using Bitrefill for buying local grocery store gift cards for more than a year now, I have seen they offer Amazon gift cards too but I have never tried them.

The gift cards are issued by
Code:
Qwikcilver Solutions Private limited ("Qwikcilver")
from their terms and conditions section. Do give than a read in case you are willing to buy on their site and try it out.

Not sure about the legal issues though, but only good reviews on the site so far.

Fees are huge though. Wink
880  Economy / Gambling / Re: Primedice.com | Since 2013 | Longest Running Crypto Casino | 113 BTC Jackpot! on: December 03, 2023, 05:41:14 AM
In fact it seems so clever it makes me wonder why wouldn't new casinos just offer this service, no matter if they are part of related casino.
Ssure, casinos would lose money used to put in by account growers, but they would surely get those highroller players, and those customers are harder to come by.
High rollers from what I have seen are divided, some of them want the VIP system and get treated like some king while others dont care and just want to roll high on a new account created everyday and cash out to come back on a new one. For the second group of players, I dont see the account migration thing being of any use. But the first one might want this to happen in future.

Still I dont see any effect on the staff doing anything of this sort right away, maybe in near future.
