It's sad to see this kind of advices to newcomers and newbies here. Satoshi Nakamoto has not created Bitcoin to be stored like dwarfs and dragons are hoardering gold in tales and legends books, but to be used as a new mean of payment, uncensorable and unseizable. He even named it : A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System. Bitcoin get its value from adoption, so if nobody uses it and prefers just "hodling" it, it won't increase its value anymore and will even losing it instead.

Maybe he find it hassle since he will not say that if he think its good for him. I also didn't use that feature but not the same with his reason since I just don't like to use it as we can't avoid to get wound on our hands and I'm worried about if we can't use our finger print to open up our wallet. But for other its still good since this is additional security measure added for protection so if a user feel to use it then its really a good decision to do. For face unlock well I don't also use that and still doubting to try this feature.
Usually you can always use a pin code to unlock your wallet instead and you can add several fingers from both hands for the fingerprint, so even if you are wounded at several fingers or at a whole hand you will still be able to use the feature with the fingers remaining if you have registered all your fingers, and if you really can't use any of them for some reasons you can use the pin code as an alternative. I am quoting you both. @ultrloa. For face unlock, it is not a better security, it will only depreciate the security. It is not advisable at all. I have not seen a wallet that has that feature yet, but on phone, I will not advice people to use it because it is not secure at all. @Saint-loup. All wallets that have fingerprint also have pin or password, you can enable both if you want. But the secure and safe way is to use only pin or password. According to who precisely? Pin code or password are not safer, because you can easily lost or forget them, and they can also easily be stolen by someone next to you when you are typing them, or by anyone finding the sheet of paper where you've archived them. Stealing fingerprints is way more difficult, and you are very unlikely to lose them, if you have register all your fingers. But you can try to register some of your toes too, if you are afraid of losing all your fingers. |

What you are describing are just common characteristics from almost all new small casinos, so I don't understand how you are making the difference betwen honest and dishonest ones. When a new casino is launched it can't get many reviews immediately, it can't buy a huge amount of games from providers, it can't have a big capital for its bankroll and it can't work out as smoothly as a 10years one. So it's a little bit harsh to advise people against using it and trusting them. Big and famous crypto casinos are also scamming customers.

Of course you can, but in this section it's highly recommended to open thread threads in self-moderate mode, in order to avoid getting spammed. Unfortunately many people here just post to fulfill some quotas of their signature campaign and don't care about the gambling matter. But I'm curious to know how you will present your predictions, will you evaluate the certainty of your prediction, by giving a score on 5 or 10 points for example?

Les 25k ont l'air de tenir bon pour l'instant, on est arrivé au bottom de la chute on dirait bien. Ce qui n'est pas rassurant en revanche, c'est que septembre ait systématiquement clôturé dans le rouge les 6 années précédentes. Après -4% en Juillet et -11% en Août, il n'y a d'ailleurs toujours pas de rebond puisqu'on reste en léger négatif sur le début du mois, je sens donc qu'il va falloir patienter plusieurs semaines avant de revoir les 27-28k.  https://www.coinglass.com/today |

I think statistical data should never be treated reliable in sports betting. Especially with sports involving 10-20 people its sometimes up to their concentration/mentality etc. Statistics can help you as subsidiary support to your bet. I mean you could be familiar with both teams in a football match and pick a bit but after check if stats support it. But using stats only would result in instant losses in my opinion.
Using stats only would result in instant losses in your opinion? You are kidding I guess. How do you evaluate the chances of a team to beat another one without looking at stats? I don't understand. You just watch few matches of those teams on TV, and you are able to guess their chances to win against each other? Or you are just listening and reading what some famous commentators are saying? How are you able to know the level of concentration/mentality of each players (or at least the main ones) before the start of the match btw? Are you able to win something at the end with this strategy? |

That's an exaggeration. There is no widespread and solid proof they are the most powerful and feared. Also, people did not avoid talking about them in any way. Really? If it's not them, which other group is it? Could you name it here? Do you often see the FBI doing this kind of press release for a hack that did not even happen in their jurisdiction by the way? I hope for you they are not reading the thread, I wouldn't make fun with that, it's not a joke to do with this kind of people. In the press release, the FBI accuses them of being the culprits of the $100million hack of Atomic wallet in June. |

Very well articulated and insightful comment indeed, but honestly, I have never heard of this so called Lazarus group before, and even though there is no mention or pointer to why the FBI has attributed the hack to this group, but I am personally assuming the group has a particular way they conduct and carry out their operations which the FBI is already familiar with ..
But then again , the fact that you categorically made it clear that there is no way stake is getting back the money even when a group behind the hack is already identified, leaves me with more pressing questions like ..
Why and what do we have special security agents for ?
The country in question, don't they have security agents? Are there any efforts being made to uncover and catch all those who are members of this group? Because I personally believe they are not spirits, they are humans like every one of us living in the same world we all live in, have the same blood and water flowing through their vain, why are they so untouchable?
Is this one of the proves that security agents are only meant to go after and catch only the common criminals out there, and not the high and mighty ones ? The Lazarus group is certainly the most powerful and the most feared hacking group of the world currently, you must have heard of them before but you should not remember. People avoid to talk about them on internet in addition. It's not a very good news for Stake, if they are targeting by them to be honest. I think FBI is replying to some of your questions in their press release. The FBI will continue to expose and combat the DPRK’s use of illicit activities to generate revenue for the regime, including cybercrime and virtual currency theft. |

I have seen a few pieces of content online that are saying Stake, Fortune Jack, Casino Gap and few others are VPN-friendly.
Are users on here agreeing on these few mentioned online casino? I am asking this because I believe those who still use VPN on these casinos are not safe.
Because using a VPN is not openly acceptable by these online casinos, there is no where it's written on their website, I know readers might feel like, why would they wrote such on their website when the law isn't permitting such?
Well, what will stop them from using this against you too as a gambler? Bypassing restrictions is not the problem, but it was never allowed officially, meaning you should accept whatever will be thrown in your face.
What do you think?
For Stake it's quite confusing because Eddie is using a VPN in his streams to access it when he plays from Australia, since Stake blocks connections from this country. But their ToS say it's not allowed 14.4 The attempt to manipulate your real location through the use of VPN, proxy, or similar services or through the provision of incorrect or misleading information about your place of residence, with the intent to circumvent geo-blocking or jurisdiction restrictions, constitutes a breach of Clause 5 of this Terms of Service. https://stake.com/policies/termsSo if you are losing money there I don't think you'll encounter issues but if you win money, especially at sportsbook you will very likely get your account locked. The ToS of Fortunejack don't seem to talk about it, and they've made an article promoting it on their blog. So I guess it's allowed there. https://fortunejack.com/blog/how-do-gamblers-benefit-from-vpn |

You should be careful of what he told above, he literally asked here if he could open 10 alt-accounts in order to milk the perks more efficiently, and now he's asking about using VPN... IMO the better answer is to ask him why he doesn't just try to use the site fairly like a normal random user instead of looking for ways to make money from it.
You are hugely mistaken, I am not going to abuse their system, these are just fair questions that I want to know, usually you'll see that almost every casino has these questions in their FAQ but since I was unable to find them on Freebitco, I asked this in this thread. You probably don't know but I have a thread in Service Discussion board - List of VPN Service Providers. The reason why I asked about VPN usage is that majority of people on this forum value privacy and I'm one of them too. So, please, be careful what you say. I'm sorry bro, I just didn't understand it was just for some privacy reasons, since it wasn't written in your post, and you asked it right after someone replied to you that multi-accounting was forbidden like in most casinos and gambling sites elsewhere. As someone else told above, you should be more explicit next time maybe, because it could be very easily interpreted in a bad way. It's pretty uncommon to see someone in a thread from a casino, asking if he can open several accounts in order to make more money from perks, so I have been confused. |

Ouais leur rapport gratuit n'est pas le plus précis, il permet de se faire une idée de certaines tendances et de certains volumes de pognon, mais c'est plus ou moins tout. J'imagine que le but, c'est de motiver les entreprises à payer la version longue Toujours un peu hors-sujet, mais c'est assez marrant de voir que les fonds volés finissent sur des exchanges centralisés (mais pas n'importe lesquels, j'imagine).
 Ce qui m'étonne, c'est le peu de coins mixés On voit que ça augmente depuis quelques années, mais je m'attendais à un peu plus Probablement parce qu'ils n'ont pas confiance, le traumatisme de Chipmixer est toujours là, les mixeurs peuvent être infiltrés ou saisis avec leurs données à tout moment, sans compter ceux qui sont carrément des honey pots. Il est certainement beaucoup plus prudent d'utiliser une première technique d'anonymisation avant d'utiliser ce type de service hautement traqué/surveillé par les autorités. Je rappelle qu'une fois tombé on a découvert que Chipmixer avait longtemps été hébergé aux States, et que le FBI avait pu y avoir accès. Cloudflare is basically a legitimized man-in-the-middle attack, ie. while the data gets encrypted between User / Cloudflare and Cloudflare / ChipMixer the data still gets decrypted -- and possibly stored -- on Cloudflare's server.
This is correct. In case of other mixers using CloudFlare, CloudFlare knows your input address and output addresses. In our case, if we would use CloudFlare, CloudFlare would know input addresses and private keys. CloudFlare is US company so it is reasonable to think that any three letter institution could get an access by court order.In this report the FBI claims that you were hosting Chipmixer website at a US provider DigitalOcean until May 2022, why have you made this choice if you think US companies can easily hand over access to any "three letter institution"? Until May 2022, chipmixer.com was a functional clearnet website that was hosted at a U.S. virtual private server (VPS) provider, DigitalOcean. Your assumption was right indeed, because they claim to have accessed it in November 2021. On November 23, 2021, the FBI served a federal search warrant to DigitalOcean for chipmixer.com, which was located at the IP address 46.101.124.25. DigitalOcean provided the FBI an image of the server. [...] https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1574581/download |

Avec le hack de plusieurs dizaines de millions USD de la plus grosse plateforme crypto de jeux en ligne, ca ne va malheureusement pas redorer l'image des cryptos et amener de la confiance  Pour ce qui est de Bitcoin, il faut se rendre à l'évidence que LN qui était censé donner un second souffle est un échec, très peu de commerces et de plateformes l'ont adopté, on doit donc encore se coltiner les 10 minutes de confirmation et dizaines de centimes de frais de transaction au minimum. Quand j'utilise Gnosis Chain et que je paye des frais en millièmes de centimes pour des transactions quasi instantanées j'hallucine un peu. En 2023, les gens sont plus intéressés par les NFT, la Defi, les smart contrats, les dapps web3 que par Bitcoin de toutes facons. |

Why do you want him to lock his topic, you are working for the moderation now lol  ? The one you are pointing out is not in the gambling section but in a deep small one where only few users post. It's a very big news, and gamblers need to be aware of it, more important than many of those spammy threads here at least. But KiaKia should update his topic because it seems 40+ million USD have been hacked for now. |

Stake representative usually don't hang out here most of the time even on normal days. Yeah, Stake silence is surprising since the news is already spread in the internet. Maybe they want to minimize the damage before they release official statement since this will cause panic among their existing players. The level of betting activity on Stake is still normal though. Maybe some players is still not informed about this issue. According to Stake support. They aren't experienced hack. I dunno what to believe now.  Don't hesitate to ask us, we will explain you how nothing wrong happened! LOL What a joke dude! As some people alluded to it above, now the biggest threat is not the hack itself if they've already managed to secure all their wallets, but the risk of a panic bank run from the customers. I guess most of people will at least try to withdraw their funds in the coming days or hours, and if the bankroll of Stake is not large enough they won't be able to cover all the withdrawals, winnings, bonus and campaigns payouts. |

I guess part of the question is going to be not if they can cover the loss. But, can they cover everyone now if people panic and start pulling their funds out and stop gambling there. Given time and effort, considering their size they should be able to overcome a loss like this. But, if everyone runs, it's going to make it that much harder to do.
Stake takes the slot percentages slider and lowers it all the way and continues business only works if people keep playing.
-Dave
Yes most people above seem to try to avoid to talk about the consequences. But I think it is very likely that most of their customers will try to withdraw their funds in the coming days and will only leave the minimum for playing there, if they don't go elsewhere. So if Stake has not a large bankroll from their own capital they won't be able to pay the winnings and the bonuses to their customers. |

Pas compris ce qu'ils espèrent avec ce tweet? Ils ont posté celui-là juste avant https://twitter.com/Stake/status/1698746766076588057, ca veut donc dire qu'ils étaient au courant. Est-ce qu'ils espèrent que ca face marrer les gens et que ca devienne un mème? Ou alors est-ce pour tourner le truc en dérision, en faisant comme si ce n'était pas grave? Je pense pourtant que la majorité de leurs utilisateurs vont s'empresser de retirer tous leurs fonds, et ne vont rien y laisser pendant un bon moment. Si ils n'ont pas une bankroll solide en fonds propres, ils risquent de se retrouver à sec pour payer les gains (et les bonus). |

I'm sorry but that maximalist speech toward beginners is just boring and misleading as hell. Bitcoin is here since almost 15 years now, so if it could change the world alone, that would already have been done. Unfortunately unlike many altcoins, it hasn't evolved during its long lifetime, it is still slow (10minutes by confirmation) and expensive(you have to pay several dozens of cents at least by transaction) and technologies used to try to enhance it like Lightning Network are not satisfying, they are not convenient to use and they are not adopted by merchants and platforms. What is currently fueling interest toward cryptocurrencies is non-Bitcoin technologies like smart contracts, web3 dapps, Defi, NFTs, dex, etc. And I think global adoption can come from them, because they are bringing new use cases and services to humans.

Logically if you look at the way the fiat devaluates you will agree that bitcoin isn’t at all risky. But looking at its volatility ratio in a short term then we can consider it been risky. A clear example is the fact when you invest a certain amount or bought it at certain price there could be a period that the price might fall due to volatility for close to 4 months without heading back to the initial price, so the risk here is once you invest an amount you needed within that period you will certainly be getting it out at a loss which most people refer to as the risk.
Another thing could be the risk act of how you store your coins, in fact the self custodian ownership method is a huge risk to careless people. So I would say bitcoin protocol itself is less risky if managed well just like the fiat in your bank account
From which country are you precisely bro? Bitcoin was above 65k$ less than 2years ago, now it is only worth 25k$, that's a -60% drop in USD, which money has lost 60% of its value in dollar during the last 2 years? Bitcoin is a highly volatile and then risky asset that's a fact, every serious trader or people working in finance will tell it to you. And even here serious guys always advice newcomers to only invest what they can afford to lose, nobody would tell that to someone about to invest money in gold. |

Face unlock can enhance device security but should not be the sole measure for securing Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. The effectiveness of face unlock depends on the quality of the facial recognition technology, and even advanced systems can have vulnerabilities. Moreover, the overall security of the device, including a strong passcode or PIN, is crucial in preventing unauthorized access to cryptocurrency holdings.
For greater cryptocurrency security, you should try combining face unlock with additional protective measures such as strong passwords, two-factor authentication, and hardware wallets. The security of the cryptocurrency wallet itself is paramount, and a secure backup and recovery plan should always be in place. The choice of security measures should align with your risk tolerance and the value of the cryptocurrency you're safeguarding, with larger holdings warranting more robust security strategies. Relying solely on face unlock may leave your assets vulnerable to potential risks and threats.
Fingerprint or facial recognition feature are not made to enhance the security of your smartphone or your hot wallet into it, they're made to give you a more quick and convenient way to access them than to type a long PIN code every time you need to use your smartphone or your wallet. If you have large amounts of cryptos to hold it's better to just keep them into a cold wallet, but in 2023 if you are using web3 dapps you need to be able to approve quickly transactions, and fingerprint and facial recognition allow to do it safely. |
