And broke: are you upset that your bots are also being weeded out of play? Why not just let things be the way they are because clearly you have no influence? Let the owner do what the owner wants to do, right?

No he hasnt weeded out anything of mine although the attempt was made back when the house edge was 0% and increased to #retarded levels.  My bot has not always been public.  I used it for a very long time privately when the house edge was 0 some years ago.  Then about a year or so ago (while I was still using it myself) I started streaming a trading channel and people always asked me what the black screen in the background was that I would keep up all the time.  After a while I got sick of the users/watchers/whateveruwantotcallthem pestering me to release the bot so that they could use it.  It was quite obvious that I was very successful with it and thus the requests.  I refused to do so because I had no way to limit it's use should it get out of hand.  Then suggestions to tie it to a referral ID came in and it seemed logical to me so thats exactly what I did. So the bot now checks to see if a user is one of my referrals.  It does so by connecting to my server.  Since it does this, I can limit who can/cant use it and I could turn it off completely for everyone if I chose to do so at any time.  Since then I no longer have any need to use the bot myself since it now pays for itself as well as the trading I do.  When I lose a trade,  the referrals make up for it (where as previously my bot winnings would serve that purpose) so that I could continue trading without having to put up any of my own capitol.

I dislike this place mostly because of TheQuack and how he treats people (not only myself but others as well,  dude is just an asshole,  as should be expected for anyone sticking up for a casino since they likely have 0 morals).  I also dislike the house edge,  but if I had to pick one or the other as being the worse of the two,  I would say TheQuack takes the cake since he's a complete idiot and provides nothing of value to ANYONE.  Ask him a question and you're more likely than not to get some sort of snide remark that has absolutely nothing to do with anything you asked.  He does this with everyone because he thinks he's god's gift to the interwebs.  At least the site itself still produces income although I would prefer that it still had 0 house edge.

If TheQuack was suddenly silenced on the forums,  this place would improve 300 fold and the only issue would be the house edge.  TheQuack would have you believe that I think anyone who disagrees with me is an asshole.  However I routinely joke with jackg when I reply around here (which is maybe once a week or every other week,  depends what I have goin on at the time,  I use this place to pass idle time).  He's not an asshole like TheQuack,  but he also doesnt agree with me on most things either.  I dont consider him an asshole like I do TheQuack because he isnt.  He treats people with humor or respect unlike TheQuack.  So I treat TheQuack the same way he treats everyone else.  Like complete shit.

Ok, so if I understand correctly, your bots haven't been weeded out and you no longer use them as they now pay for itself via referrals. This sounds like a good thing. I don't know about you, but business sense doesn't need me to like the people who run the service that makes me profit.

I used to make a bit of money from ads, and I hated all of the ones I used, because I found them rude, slow, and always docked my earnings for "abuse" which they never proved or told me about, so I had trouble even trying to improve because I had no idea what traffic was causing those alerts. Eventually, they stopped earning me much and I moved on.

I don't think we need to bring morals into the picture... I do agree that this forum has a lot of tough characters and myself feel I have been unfairly treated in the past on some casinos, which I just react by not giving them my business. I appreciate the forum is what it is today because of those tough characters, better or worse. But TheQuin hasn't been rude... curt I would say, and calling people names doesn't help your case exactly no?

Anyway, okay, so we all have disagreements about all these gambling sites. For me it's simple. I move on if I can't stand it. Good luck!

Offcourse promotions will attract many gamblers to the site but the most important one is they should have a good support team to help you with the issues faced during the play or either deposit or withdrawal time. Deposits and withdrawal should be fast then many gamblers may like it because most of the don't like to wait. I don't like to play these games on mobile instead prefer to play on the desktop. It depends on individual interest.
Most of the time, most of the sites coming with unrealistic promotions are scammers. I wouldn't play on a website just because they have a great promotion and zero reputation in the market.

I do agree that provably fair is now the standard industry benchmark when it comes to crypto/Bitcoin. We have the technology, so it should be used. Cryptographic hashes lets us all prove beyond a doubt that we are playing at a fair place. Which is why normal non-provaby fair casinos are actually something we should just ignore and allow to die.
Well..online casinos should implement provable fair mechanisms as generally accepted by the online gamblers. Every site claims to be fair but not provable fair and that makes a big difference..

Actually, online gamblers and online casinos aren't really that familiar with Provably Fair. Provably Fair was only made possible by Bitcoin casinos, using the same cryptographic functions of SHA256 hashing that Bitcoin used, to allow people to themselves see if results on Bitcoin casinos were indeed fair.

Most online casinos today, if you check, only have Randomness certification, which you can choose to trust, but have no way to PROVE if it's true.

Hence, they are NOT Provably Fair. Big difference of Claiming to be fair, and letting everyone (the public) prove it for themselves.

Lol point them please

Medium blog here https://medium.com/@BitDice

Look at the quarterly reports and pay attention to milestones like accomplishments or product segment updates. All you were asking about is there. Even financial details are there. Last blog post says upcoming is roulette, support, sportsbetting.

Now you, you point out all the things you were complaining about instead of doing silly one liners. Otherwise, you can find some other thread to spam.

I'm so confused as to what point you're trying to make here

It's simple... He's trying to advertise a bot that runs on a site he hates to make wetsuit and him a profit. The issue is that he's making less of a profit than wetsuit so he's really just advertising gambling on a site he hates for some tiny affiliate earnings... he's turning to use smoke and mirrors just as he accused thequin of doing so now so many pages ago...

AH, so THAT is what he's been going on all about! I don't know why I never noticed it, guess I arrived midway in the conversation to really understand just what he was so upset about.

This is some deep complexity of reverse psychology. Talk smack about a site he hates but hopes people use his bot to earn from there anyway.

And broke: are you upset that your bots are also being weeded out of play? Why not just let things be the way they are because clearly you have no influence? Let the owner do what the owner wants to do, right?

We have open the listing process for our platform launching by the end of September www.angobit.io

The listing process is very simple and accessible for new projects, don't miss out get in touch with our team.

hello@angobit.com


Best Regards
Angobit Team



I just visited the site. Now, it would help people of this forum to know more of this good exchange if you can share more information about it and the many things that set apart this exchange from its many competitors...in others words what are its Unique Selling Proposition (USP) as we are now not just swimming with so many ICO projects but also with so many cryptocurrency exchange projects as well. Thanks a lot for sharing this here. Hope to hear more from you and this exchange.

Website is down for me. But just to add to user above, it's not just that. Get to the point. How much does it cost, how long does it take and how long will be listing be available, what volumes are promised and what is the userbase?

This is all that's needed to do a cost-benefit analysis.

Then maybe you get to the bottom... how are you able to prevent bot trading, wash trading, flash crashes, and all that sort of market manipulation most exchanges have?
9626  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: newcryptocasinos.com - Our channel at BitcoinTalk.org on: September 13, 2018, 08:52:13 AM
New online casinos without an established presence and reputation should generally be seen with great caution. I do not see much reason to play with them.

You should always be careful with gambling for obvious reasons, But the New Crypto Casinos we added have gone through some checks from our side.
We have a representative at each company who we are speaking to on a daily basis, we have done deposits on 80% of the casinos we listed so far, and manage to do a withdraw without complications. IF we find out that some of the casinos we list on our sites is not good for any reason we will talk to them to solve the problem, if they don't we removed them and we will add them to a black list.

 

I would be extremely careful with this. Of course if casinos know you are a monitoring/review site, then they will take care of you. I'm not liking many of your listings due to the requirement for KYC, which if you open threads for complaints, you will realize they do this randomly to individuals especially when dealing with big withdrawals.

And before anyone says that this is only for suspicious activity, let me tell you that you should be able to deposit and withdraw Bitcoin without ever having even the CHANCE of being asked to verify. Privacy is our right and this is why we choose Bitcoin casinos, am I right?

I know BitDice and crypto-games take care of you without kyc ever. Both recently paid out huge amounts of BTC and LTC, without ever asking for verification.
9627  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to choose a good casino among the many others? on: September 13, 2018, 08:26:42 AM
To choose a good casino you will search for the next 3 factors.

1.-BankRoll
2.-Provably Fair
3.-House Edge


While the casino have a biggest bankroll you can win more at end of the game, while more you can win, then gambling is more attractive, and a good provably fair system is important other ways users will feel like their bets was rigged, and while lower is the house edge will be better for users the users, if you can play games with 1% house edge that would be the ideal. with that % you only need luck on your side.

I do agree that provably fair is now the standard industry benchmark when it comes to crypto/Bitcoin. We have the technology, so it should be used. Cryptographic hashes lets us all prove beyond a doubt that we are playing at a fair place. Which is why normal non-provaby fair casinos are actually something we should just ignore and allow to die.

House Edge to a certain degree, but I'm not going to play lottos all day long at 0 house edge. Dice is always my favorite too but I won't play at 0.5% house edge at a place I don't trust, needs my KYC and all sorts of vague requirements.

Transparency, no fuss withdrawal, no hidden rules, these are what I prefer to think of.

Billion promises in the white paper. It's all just same as before

It's not all the same, and if you're following the updates from this thread or if you even play at the site, then you know for sure roadmap developments have been achieved. We were promised a casino with new UI and new offerings, promised dividends. So far we've got all that.

I can not notice any recent UI changes.

Wow, really, that's it? You come in here, make a totally inaccurate claim, and say it's "all just same as before".

Then someone points out that you're wrong, and gives a few examples of changes and updates that were promised and delivered, not to mention all the other things being worked on and updated transparently if you bothered to read the regular reports published or even follow this thread.

Then you come in with another 1-liner but now saying "recent". Funny guy.

And this the first challenge that I have successfully been able to complete without loosing much btc.
The only problem is I dont have a forum account with more than 10posts on primedice.

So can i transfer my winning bet to someone else or just ask someone else to post on my behalf?


Also its great to see house edge reducing. I am bored of playing dice. Lets see how chart works out for me.

AH right! I just saw that I misread the rules, was just about to come and post when I saw your post, and now realize I have to be a member of Stake forum! Challenge is pretty cool, I don't think I ever tried 10x, I always chicken out after 5x is reached.

Is it OK for me to just dump my old account and make a new one along with my forum username too? Is it against the rules to make a second or third account?
9630  Economy / Gambling / Re: BITDICE - 🎲🎲🎲 Treasure Chest Is Back! 🎰🎰🎰 on: September 12, 2018, 08:06:02 AM
Indeed it's true Bitdice team have always gone for quality users over quantity, they made sure their site had best UI and graphics and even after all updates they operated without a flow, which in turn helped them build a niche traffic. I have often seen in the chat box and here, most of them are regular members who like to come back, and as far promotions go Bitdice team knew all wanted treasure chest back, and they promptly brought it back. I'll agree all eyes are on the announcement of sports book, I'm sure soon we'll hear some updates about it.

We're hoping the upcoming upgrade(s) will bring some more users though.

More users are always good. And like I said, if the site needs to upgrade because of demand, then that can only be a good sign that growth is happening, although profit distribution every round is more than enough proof that the model is working.

There is a lot of growing interest for sportsbook too, and since that is coming, then we know there's a sure influx of betting on sports. All eyes are indeed on that, there's really still a big space to fill for that demand.

Billion promises in the white paper. It's all just same as before

Wow from 2% to 0.5% sounds almost irresistible actually. Chart style games are quite few in this space, even if we all know where it came from, I think newbies who play dice will find it impossible not to play, especially when the edge can be even half that of most dice (that are at 1%).

Think it's about time I start a real account at Stake, and commit more free hours to gambling. I already got my favorite site for dice but maybe I need a favorite chart game casino Wink

Nice offering you have there, I recall seeing your offers for rakebacks and have yet to find a poker place to play, due to my own personal taste for pure crypto and non KYC places (if they have a fiat deposit, they 100% will do kyc on me).

There are surprisingly few poker specialists on this forum, when I thought online there would be a great demand. Are you ever likely to add new sportsbook cashback places? I am seeing quite a few good ones around the forum but they're not listed on yours (except Nitro of course).
9633  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Are all the bounties coming out right now garbage? on: September 12, 2018, 04:54:14 AM
I certainly hope those days aren't over, because I grabbed my bunch of ICOs "back in the day" and not a single one of them performed to even 1% of ICO price. I just have a really terrible sense of analysis I guess.

But you're right. The good projects don't seem to be putting anything out now. Everyone that's in the market now is kidding themselves. Putting out ideas done over a hundred times.

The smart guys would raise money now though since we're surrounded by garbage a good project would really stand out.
9634  Economy / Gambling / Re: Online Gambling - USA Player Cashout Help on: September 11, 2018, 05:58:12 AM
What is the reason for the online casino blocking US players? Is there something wrong with US players, even though you are installing a VPN application to play at the online casino using another country ID.

US has a law against online gambling, and they are really really strict about it. There are some states that allow it, but the casino has to be operating from there, and even then, not all players from all states can gamble there.

It's not so much that US is catching people who gamble, but they will use their mighty enforcement to go after casinos that allow US players to visit and gamble.

Using VPN and another ID at a casino that has KYC is suicide. They'll ask you to prove your ID, then when it's from another country, bye bye deposit.
9635  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: I wish I sold all my altcoins on: September 11, 2018, 04:56:52 AM
It's not so much that I wish I sold all my altcoins. To be honest, I don't have many, and for each I don't have much. Well, they're absolutely not worth much at all today at this price!

But I do wish I didn't buy more than the few alts I do have. I do wish I never wasted all my time with stupid airdrops, stupid mining, stupid POS. They were fun, some, they were experiments others. And the ones I did end up buying, they're worth just so little now they might as well be 0.

But the ones I bought to hold for years, I held and kept adding, I still believe in them. The future looks bleak. But history tells us to be patient. Don't regret. At least you learnt something, right?
9636  Economy / Gambling / Re: Online Gambling - USA Player Cashout Help on: September 10, 2018, 08:25:07 AM
Like those players mentioned above, online gambling at casinos are usually off limits to US players. I know there are a few that specifically welcome US players, but you should have checked first. Especially dealing with such an amount of money, read all the TOS before even creating an account. I would even go a step further and see if they have kyc. If they do, avoid. Because they will always pull that kyc card when you want to withdraw big amounts.

They were wrong to accept your deposit if you're not allowed to withdraw, however. But almost all these casinos do that. Happy to take your money but all sorts of issues to prevent paying you.
9637  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Which is the best DECENTRALIZED exchange? on: September 10, 2018, 06:58:46 AM
There is a hate thread for IDEX tho...very rare, just for some ShitCoins to trade with no other exchanges...


Well, to be fair, there's a hate thread for every exchange, even exchanges that only does trade with non-Shitcoins like Coinbase but then Bitcoin Cash is a shitcoin too, so really, the only exchanges that don't trade shitcoins deal only in Bitcoin haha.

But back to seriousness, if you want a decentralized exchange, then be prepared for everything including and especially shitcoins. A true dex means any coin can be traded, that's the whole point of a dex, freedom of choice, no control or decisions taken by any centralized parties.

LOTTERY ROUND 171
This round, the winner with the lowest number of tickets is #8 with 36,057 tickets.
#1 won 0.40176932 BTC with 2,142,548 tickets.

Well done, and good to see that actual members here are winning. Gives people like me hope that you can I can maybe get something like 2,000 tickets if I try really hard, and have 0.1% of your chance to win big. Seriously though it is still 1000x better than buying a regular lottery and hoping to win some small prize! I'm tempted to deposit and unlock the lottery bonus to do this, but I know myself too well, if I deposit the amount required I will bust it trying to be impatient.

We have all seen lotteries where people win just by buying a single ticket. That's what you call luck, isn't it?

Happy to report that the speed has improved, but only a little. I still remember games being speedier in the past, but maybe this has something to do with token betting against BTC betting? I used to bet a lot of satoshi but these days, am being a bit poorer so only playing with tokens until I can cash out a 6 digit balance Wink

Everything is slowing down for me in the market. Trades. Price. Betting. Maybe that's a good thing though, so my balances last longer haha.

9640  Economy / Gambling / Re: Are there any good arcade style games? on: September 09, 2018, 08:17:42 AM
Yeah sorry guys, slot games are so NOT arcade games. You can put mario, pacman, sonic the hedgehog and whatever arcade character onto a slot but it doesn't make it an arcade game.

I don't like slots in the first place because most of them are hard to be provably fair. And when you read most of the scam accusations with jackpots, it always has to do with slot games.

AND those new casinos that come out with 200 slots games are usually the ones with problems. No offense.

So we're back and realise there are just no good arcade games that reward crypto out there. We should think of creating something, that rewards pvp and is bot resistant.
