I think you can start looking in this section of the forum yourself for the best ideas of which casinos to look at. You can just scan the most active ones their names are in their threads, look at the OP's trust feedback and then decide if these are worth reviewing. Then publish a list and people can start opting whether they should review or not.

The same exact priciple can be used to exchange, go to the forum section on Service Discussions then exchanges.

If you see red trust, too, you can still choose to list them, but to add the comments of red trust into the review.

I just realized now that token exchange to litecoin/eth/bitcoin has changed. In the past you had to collect 200k or 1 million to exchange, but now you can change almost any amount, so that's good. I see the bonus for exchanging 1 million has been reduced to half though, 5% instead of 10%, but I guess in the long run this is better for players like me. Haha because every time I reach close to 1 million I get a little panicky and then start busting so have to start all over again.

Is there a place that we can get updates of changes like that? Not that important since we play every day but be nice to know ahead.

personally I'm an investor in yolodice ( I just treat it as my gambling savings wallet where I send profits from sportsbetting )
I always use the highest leverage which is X10 , this should generate more profit than normal leverage
it increases the risk as well but since we are investing on +EV business we should be more than fine with high leverage and as you can see the majority people there have X10 leverage

And how have your profits there been? I see on one thread in securities section one player/mod at crypto-games.net shows his statistics. Personally I also liked that casino and played every now and then, but for personal reasons I no longer play there. They had a good bankroll too.

Does anybody know what the largest dice bankroll for Bitcoin investment is? I might want to invest in the smallest, since this means my amount is the bigger share of the bankroll.

I wouldn't be surprised if his "business" is some sort of "church" or "charity"

Has to be that. Only place or people that would "forgive" him and then throw money at him for repenting like that.  Has to be some sheeple in a church ready for a fleecing. No other way anyone sane would do business with him now.  Where's that young pastor that got roped in for half a mil, wow completely forgotten his name. Even had live video shows. Matt something? Only way possible one can get large sums of money while being a convict. The more heinous the better the bigger the tears for forgiveness the more the money rolls in  Cheesy Cheesy  Didn't they already create some scam charity or church like setup early on? Totally this is it, Homero's next big heist, seances to the the Almighty above through used glass dildos.

His whole religious affiliation thing is a sham.  As I recall, he and his wife were listed on their church's website as giving some talk about how to have a successful marriage or some shit in the very midst of his scamming.  He's been claiming to be a jebus freak all along while simultaneously lying and scamming people and cheating on his wife.

Anyway, glad to see the shitbag got actual prison time.  The very least he deserves.  Too bad carlos the drunkard isn't getting some too.

Wow, I'm really learning more and more about this guy, it's really amazing if you come to think of it, all the personalities caught up with crypto and Bitcoin. Makes you wonder, with all the Garzas and the Mcafees, could one day we also be hearing of big news headlines happening to some of the top dogs in crypto now?

The worse thing to me is that all of these guys aren't even really Bitcoin at heart. And yet they made all the money. I mean come on, less than 2 years, probably in white collar prison, and when he comes out, he'll get to enjoy all the money stashed away. Probably write a book to tell his version of things and get a whole new round of sympathizers.

GainBitcoin scammer Amit Bhardwaj went to prison - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3161969.0

GAW scammer Josh Garza going to prison - https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/09/man-who-swindled-9m-in-wannabe-bitcoin-ponzi-scheme-headed-to-prison/

Now, the question is...

1. Will PB Mining scammer Jason Boyko get away with it?

2. Will Asic Miner scammer FriedCat aka Jiang Xinyu get away with it?

Let's hope so. There are sooo many scammers still out there, giving Bitcoin a bad name. In a way, these people are all needed. I guess crypto always needed to grow up and mature, and thanks to all these guys, they gave it prominence.

Wow. Liverpool still played a bit shitty and found a way to win. First away goal for Wijnaldum, and somehow even Lamela could score and almost make Liverpool pay to equalize. So they are top of the table.

Chelsea has literally scored a few seconds ago to level the Cardiff opener, and City as usual are already racing away to a 2 goal lead.

Looks like we don't have any upsets yet, but I guess if Chelsea and Arsenal end up drawing, it will be minor upsets. Not watching the Arsenal game so don't know if Newcastle is playing well or Arsenal playing shitty.

Everyone needs to calm down and take a deep breath. We are going through a bear market and your portfolio is way down.

Crypto is not dead and it is not dying either. There are a lot of positive things that are shaping up on the institutional side of things. It is going to take some more time before the market reverses, but it will pick back up and we will very likely see some big growth in the coming years.

Everyone needs to calm down at all times, bear and bull. But most people are here today, because they weren't calm in the bull run. They got greedy and they let it all go to their heads.

And the lessons are not learned, everything is still getting to their heads.

Why can't all the past experience teach people anything? The market has crashed worse than this many times. Those who were lucky enough to have Bitcoin from years ago have experienced 90% crashes. We have only seen just over 70% crash, and for a short while. Keep the faith people.

And be prepared for worse at the same time.

Hugo Lloris & Dele Alli out of the Liverpool game Saturday, should give my Red Men a slight advantage.

Link - https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/11496601/dele-alli-and-hugo-lloris-out-of-tottenham-v-liverpool

I'll wait for the full line-ups to be announced before I put any money on this (or make my predictions on the predictor). I would have probably gone for a draw but if Spurs are down players and Liverpool put out a full strength team I'll be likely to back them, especially as I think Liverpool are the slightly stronger team anyway.

I wonder how many people will have the balls to back Watford against United? That game could go anyway I reckon. Could be zero goals, only one in it or an absolute slugfest.

I think Liverpool will win, this regardless of whether or not Spurs are at full strength. And I would still have said this even if Spurs didn't lose to Watford. Liverpool have not been playing well and yet they are still capable of winning. And they have been overcoming the teams they normally find so tough. This to me is a good sign that things have changed. Full strength Liverpool and full capacity are going to look quit scary.

And I'm definitely backing Watford against United. But I will go for a +0.5 handicap, just in case it becomes a draw.

Wow, what an end. And 21 entire months. I can't even imagine a month cooped up at home, and he's got to do it in prison. Hopefully, without all the luxuries of internet and social media, so he can purge himself from all that.

Feel sorry for all those affected. If this doesn't teach anyone about cloud mining and how it's just not possible, then I don't know how else. Just surprised this isn't getting more coverage in crypto circles. Heard about GAW and Paycoin so much.
9649  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: What tool do you use to perform ICO research? on: September 14, 2018, 11:52:13 AM
Hi everyone, my team and I have been working on a platform called https://basescore.co that captures and aggregates reviews from various ICO review sources. We believe that when you can get the full spectrum of what the critics are saying, that it's is the best way to get an unbiased perspective on an ICO so investors can make smarter, more informed decisions.

Anyways, not to shill my own project, just what tools do you use to perform research on your ICOs? I'd love to hear your opinion.

But, if you are basing the rating on what critics are saying, then isn't the perspective completely biased? We all know 90% of critics are actually shilling. Most of them are so obvious, and some try to be objective but ultimately they are only repeating what they can see and read. How many critics are blockchain developers? How many know how to code?

The research should base ratings from peer review of code. And if there is no code, there is no project, that is, vaporware.

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?
.

You can make multiple accounts on Stake.com. But, for forum it is forbidden to register more than one account per user.

OK that is good to know thank you for your response. The account I have was a stupid one I registered just for fun, but time to look for a proper username that I can link to the forum. I wish I took my signups more seriously at casinos, sometimes I make one on the fly and play a bit and end up just busting because of silly risks. I honestly don't feel like I will stay at a new site most of the time, but maybe best to assume I will for future.

Multiple accounts on a casino is understandable, for statistics. I tend to throw away negative profit accounts because there's always that pressure to win back losses.

Don't know why anyone would want more than 1 stake forum account!

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!
9652  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to choose a good casino among the many others? on: September 14, 2018, 05:19:01 AM
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.

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?

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?
9656  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.
9657  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?

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

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.
