8621  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dice game strategy? on: June 25, 2017, 02:27:41 PM
I do not have any strategy in the dice game, I bet and let my instincts take me and just rely on luck to win. So I think strategy is not needed in dice games, most importantly you do not get greedy in gambling.


That should be how we think about dice.
 There is no such thing as strategy in this game. It is just pure luck. The house is only the one who can control this.
Perhaps, own control will work when you are in the brink of losing it all or you are already a winner. When you know how to stop then that is wise gambling.
I thought also when I am playing dice that there is such thing as a strategy but there is none.
8622  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you like best about bitcoin? on: June 25, 2017, 10:35:57 AM
Bitcoin is so useful today not only in purchasing but also in earning for your future Smiley

I agree with it being useful for the future earnings but not with the purchasing type.
Havent tried it yet and havent seen one who would really accept it for payment.
Seems like merchants here in our country are still doubting what bitcoin can do with their businesses.
So I guess I will have to wait for that.
8623  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it a sin to gamble? on: June 25, 2017, 08:54:40 AM
It may be how a person think of it.
Am I making a sin while I gamble.
If he is doing it the wrong way then it could be a sin.
It will all come to an end to how you will control it. Am I just having fun or am I already eaten by gambling that I cant get out of it.
Or cannot live a day anymore without doing one bet.
8624  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is... surprisingly stable today? on: June 24, 2017, 11:51:15 AM
There will always be stability in bitcoin price. Even before there will be a time to calm down.
It is a good thing for those who want to withdraw and not present yesterday. They will still have a chance to make a move.
Not so good for traders like this kind. Perhaps a rest will be good for now.
A day off is not that bad.
8625  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does experience matter in gambling? on: June 24, 2017, 10:50:23 AM
I beg to differ with those suggesting that experience doesn't matter gambling. Gambling is to a large extend due to luck. But without experience, the lick that you have can disappear in a twinkle of an eye. You can have luck and win but if you don't know when to exit, you will be tempted to continue so that you win more. This is when you will come head on with the losing streak and lose everything.
And that is why we have lots of experienced gamblers who know when to quit game(sarcasm)

Lets take one example.
Your bankroll is 0.1BTC and you want to play slots for example.
You hit something nice, lets say you win another 0.1BTC.

Now, you saying if you withdraw that you will withdraw this because you have experience?

Well most unexperienced gamblers wouldn't and continue to bet with their entire winnings. Excitement would be too much that sometimes they'd forget the odds are very small. Now experienced gamblers would know better. They'd either withdraw their capital and play woth their winnings or simply play with a portion of what they won. Your experience would make you avoid mistakes because of excitement or anxiety
An experience gambler will know when to quit when everything is not adding up, and that's how their instinct tell them to stop before they lose more. Of course if you are the experienced player you will know that this is not your day even if you say you were winning in the start but at the end you seem to began the losing streak. That's how the experienced gambler know how to control their self and know when to stop it they began to lose more.

And that is where experience comes in. Without it there would be no stopping until everything is lost.
One example is a newbie who didn't have the beginners luck and just happen to gamble at his first time. He lose all the funds he have while the other experienced person still have some to play again tomorrow and would try if he have luck that day.
8626  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin be used by ordinary citizens? on: June 24, 2017, 07:13:37 AM
if i can use it , then everybody can use it.
and i am not the smartest one.

but to make transactions more easier, there should be bitcoin cards and POS machines accepting bitcoin cards, just like debit cards.



That is not just the way to make it easier.
Smartphone are user friendly now, even old people does know how to use it with just a little help from young ones.
Through smartphone they can make transactions and it is much easier than looking for a machine where you can withdraw or a card to swipe it.
In a few more years, it will be better and more ordinary citizens can make a use of bitcoin whenever they want to.
8627  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: sending from the same address using electrum on: June 24, 2017, 06:10:33 AM
You will only be able to send from that address, if that address still has coins in it.

What has likely happened, is that you've sent from that address (we'll call it AddressA) previously and the "change" from the transaction has been sent back to a change address in your Electrum wallet (AddressB).

When you go to send coins, they all now exist in AddressB instead of AddressA... If you check AddressA on blockchain explorer (like blockchain.info) you will probably see that the current balance is 0. If this is the case, you will need to send some coins back to AddressA first.

Once your AddressA has some coins in it, enable the "coins" tab ("Wallet" -> "Coins") if it isn't already... then on the "Coins" tab, find your AddressA... right click and select "Spend". This will set up an outbound transaction that will use just the coin(s) from AddressA that you selected, so it is guaranteed to send from that Address Smiley

NOTE: if you already have coins in AddressA (ie. the "Final Balance" shown on blockchain.info is not zero), then you should be able to find it on the "Coins" tab without having to send coins to AddressA first Wink

Thanks for this answer. I am using electrum now and this might come in handy when this instance happen to me.
Is this some kind of a bug or just needs verification before the coins can be seen from that first address?
If address B is doing fine then why the first address is having trouble with it.

Just do what Ryan did with bustabit and add a bunch and a spam channel :p

Thanks, I just did:


There's an #insult channel too :-)

Cheers,

It is going to be chaos there.
All madness will be thrown and all stress will be relieved.  Grin
Maybe it could go viral at twitter.
Will have to visit that once in a while just to see how hard the languages could be.

A nice motto in life.  Grin
You choose your own path. You create the path that will choose also.
 Whether it is for good or evil it will be up to you.
Every choice you make can affect tomorrow and with that it may also affect the path that you want to live.
Bitcoin is not a ticket to heaven. It is just a mere thing that can be used to make the life here in Earth to be at ease and convenience.
8630  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: For sports bettors on: June 23, 2017, 12:00:37 PM
I voted for Yes.
I do bet for NBA and there are 2 games in a day.
I just do this to maximize my profit.
It is easy to make a prediction with a basketball game specially when you are an enthusiast with the game.
I bet for the same amount. We know there is not much profit there for the odds are sometimes low. So better do it twice when it is at good odds. But this just happens a few times.
8631  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to know about next pump? on: June 23, 2017, 08:40:10 AM
Why pump and dump when you can just pump and pump and pump! We've made a pump game for our group. All the benefits of pumping without the hangover. You may ask why or you may think this is a silly idea. We believe though that people have a lot of fun pumping and that they really enjoy the rush. We've set ours up so that even if you lose the first time you can still win the next time. We've added a whole new level to the Pump concept. We're hoping to start at the end of June 2017. It could be a little later though. Follow us on twitter for the up to date news.

Wow this is cool. But it will need a group of people with a lot of money in their hands.
I will follow this so I caan somehow monitor if it will really work out.
Kind of hard if someone will be against it and will keep on dumping who is not part of that group right?
8632  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and Legal Marijuana on: June 22, 2017, 07:17:07 PM
But aint it going to look like more illegal?
We can't avoid the fact that parents are still not open minded with the marijuana thing. Adding the bitcoin recipe as a means of payment and transaction could lead to another problem right?
Two bad images for different people will make it explode.
Just saying. But I do vote for medicinal marijuana.
8633  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: what is the future of the crazy ICO market? on: June 22, 2017, 04:29:26 PM
“It’s not about me being smart or visionary. I’m just lucky to follow the right person,”

It's plain luck, he did trust the right person at the right time.
But still he took knowledge first before stepping up in the world of ICO.
Regarding the future of it. I dont know if it will still continue as it becomes known. Some will be tired of this flow and just go and will think of another option. Same of what they do with altcoins, they come and go.
8634  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can trading be considered as gambling?? on: June 22, 2017, 12:49:00 PM
No, because in gambling you can rely only on luck, but in trading you can analyze and make a profit.

I do agree.
Actually gambling is made for fun or trying luck. It is a good thing they added investments in their part for other people to have a choice and not just gamble everything they got.
Trading is somehow profitable with just some reading with how the developers makes some move for their coins and some good instinct of prediction could lead to more money.
8635  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Surging Anew on: June 22, 2017, 08:22:48 AM
Looks like their FUD didnt work.
As I have thought this will just be simple waves like anything before.
Too much drama for other who just experienced a $200 fall. That is not even called a fall in terms of bitcoin. That is just a wave. It would just be scary if it takes thousands of dollars.
8636  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as a source of income? on: June 21, 2017, 08:34:39 PM
I'd love to see a chart of how many people are getting paid in Bitcoin at their regular jobs. The numbers are likely very low right now, although the payment gateways are in place to have this done.

Yes very low.
Maybe even bitcoin wallet staffs are getting fiat with their payroll.
The business needs profit and the staff needs job and money so I think they wont mind.
You want some chart but you know no one can give you this.
No one will waste money for that kind of project.
8637  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi, Bitcoin Is a Commodity Not a Currency on: June 21, 2017, 04:29:37 PM
Whew!
A lot of legendary's and Donator's here and it seems they cant approve with one answer.
I do think it is a commodity too. But somehow when I think about the merchants who have accepted it is a means of payment it becomes a currency.
It is like gold for me just made it online. It is mined and there is this buy and sell with a lot of movements with its price same with gold. Currencies dont move like that. Ergh! Can it be both?
8638  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is better? To gamble or to invest? on: June 21, 2017, 09:35:06 AM
From my perspective, investment is far better than gambling, gambling is a totally luck depending game but investment requires a authentic source in order to make profit. If you want to make profit then obviously investment would be preferable to gambling. In gambling you can't be assured of earning money certainly...so of the two sides investment is better.

Though someone will still fight that it is gambling which is better.
Their answers are like "what ifs". What if they win? What if suddenly luck comes in.
One more answer is how fast it will be to gain money just in a single click and would come in handy when needed. Instead of investment where you cant get back your money whenever you want to plus it is a long term to see the profit.
8639  Economy / Gambling / Re: Investing in btc casinos on: June 20, 2017, 07:15:30 PM
If you want to invest on casinos, pick one with a good bankroll management (for example, crypto-games) because there are times that a high roller would win x consecutive times and you will surely lose your investment in no time.

Yeah but that will run out.
It is not all Christmas for every gambler. If you look at the gambling discussion there is always a talk of how the house always win.
Yeah I would pick Crypto Games but still there are more who have good features.
Yolodice is one and there is one more bonus.
The referral system is way different. I dont know how I got it but there is a fund now in that tab of my account.
I guess we have our own choices of where to invest.
8640  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Is Not Garbage, Embrace It on: June 20, 2017, 04:58:43 PM
Embrace and wait for the good future that lies ahead.
That is all I can think of now.
I envy those who hold a lot of bitcoin since the day it was still cheap up until now.
And when I keep thinking about that. It gives me courage to not spend it or sell it.
Embrace the fact that it is really used for illegal currency but still there is good in it. Try to fight it back with those who spreads it so that somehow they would have other things that can think of and might research if it is true.
