Excellent news. Stake is one of the really good recent casinos to launch, and now that it is one year old you can see how a well run site can grow so quickly. Is there anything particular to be shared with this large update?

This is a feedback for the site to improve, maybe too late for this update but something to look at next? The chat moves too fast. I don't even chat anymore because it's impossible to follow. It should have a function to sort of mute non-important updates or to have a separate window that shows Rain plus Bet shares and maybe also implement a sort of auto-muting for those spamming and 1 liners. Just my take!

So many of you guys coming and going. Was almost tempted to play a recently launched game here (fomo's too big!) but then the game seems to have just gone quiet. Still very curious so I need to ask one thing: with the dividend option tokens, do they expire once the game ends, as in you have to keep buying in for every game to win a share of dividends? Secondly, does it matter when you buy the dividend tokens or can you buy up a huge amount near the end of the game and still get the same share as if you bought early?

Used to be a site called playforcrypto. I spent like, a lot of time there playing stupid games like snake until I could get enough coins to withdraw (if I'm not mistaken they used to allow you to convert to Bitcoin).

I should have seen it coming when they started to change things, change coins, remove coins and all that. About a month ago they just went offline suddenly. Lost all the coins I never withdrew, and it tells me you can't really run a site like that and be profitable. As pointed out, too easy to cheat with bots.

Actually I have never even seen any of these ATMs except on pictures online and how people talk about them. So like you I am probably curious to get some. Actually where I am living now, even localbitcoin fees and prices from Sellers are almost 10% at times especially with recent demand and that stupid crypto ban in my country. So if I could get ATM Bitcoins at 10% I probably would. I don't like meeting strangers too. So many crime from those meetings happened in my country.

It's a strange thing to imagine for me, to be able to buy Bitcoin everywhere. Perhaps one day if I can travel I will see all of these amazing sights.

Hello, this is an interesting thread. I invested myself in a few types of pooled portfolios online. They made me some money in the end of last year even until January, but I was too greedy and wanted to make 3 digit percentage profit that I left it all untouched.

As of today, I have lost almost 75% of my initial investments, because mainly altcoins have failed to recover like Bitcoin. So whoever picked NANO there is either quite lucky or very wise!

I read from the old threads there is maybe a Round 3 or another one for latecomers like me. Am I wrong?

Which alts are you talking about? Just look at the top 20 or even top 50, not a single alt is anywhere NEAR their old worth. Neither in dollar value and neither in Bitcoin value. Bitcoin as of this moment is making a new climb back around 7,250 and even ETH couldn't break past $300 now, just going back towards 290.

The longer this happens, the more we must all be prepared for the market to recover.

And now you see it. We shouldn't have had all these thousands of tokens.

Crypto is simple the medium. If you talk about trading, gambling, there's not much difference between fiat and crypto (except maybe there are such things as faucets in crypto).

Don't believe all the stories about secrets to making money. Since the 90's, people sell their secrets online. To trading, to casino arbitrage, poker secrets, and today are all the tricks and stories about how to make money with Bitcoin trading, arbitrage... etc.

Same tricks, different era, different tools. Now it is Bitcoin.

There is NO easy road in life. Bitcoin is not an easy road.

Ah okay so fair enough, now that I've read all the comments against poker. I don't really agree about competition, I think it's good and competition is better for everyone BUT I do agree most of all with the part about the difficulty to monitor all the cheaters and unfair play on poker. That will be so difficult it's not worth it, which is impossible to game with sportsbooks.

So good decision in the end.

I actually didn't do any program with them, as you can see my signature campaign is long term and from a long time ago. I also deleted my Twitter and Facebook accounts, so I couldn't participate with any bounty from there even if I wanted to.

But observations wise, they have the strictest rules and the most active channels, even as a bystander I can see this. I should say though that this is only a reflection of Amazix and not the projects they manage. I've seen plenty of projects turn bad once they've completed their Amazix partnerships.

Definitely! I mean, think about it. If these sites were all honest and objective, then in general most of the ratings would be low. Because a good-rated ICO is very hard to come by. It's not just about the team and advisers who are all good and well known. It's not just about a great whitepaper, cause everyone can write a decent one these days and charge a few hundred dollars.

In the end, it's very hard to rate an ICO until they have a good history of product development and active developers - which 99% of ICOs don't have.

To answer OP's question, or rather to reconfirm, yes just stick to standard signature campaigns on this forum in the normal Bitcoin Services section.

Don't fall for all those bounties that pay 100s of dollars in tokens. You know it yourself, these tokens never get listed, or if they do it's on some low volume exchange where you can't sell anything.

The services section appear to pay less, but at least it's in Bitcoin and that's always liquid. I have been only sticking to those services, and since it's a service I also like and use, I feel like I'm giving back value to the service, they're paying me for something I like and use, and I help the site grow at the same time.

This happens quite regularly, and I also have been a victim, where somebody used my account user name and even my Telegram username. That made me stop my old Telegram account and to this day I don't use it anymore.

It was my mistake a long time ago to submit details on a public spreadsheet. So any bounty participants now please take note: if the spreadsheet is public and reveals things like email or username on Telegram, just avoid it. You'll get so much spam later on.

Reporting it can be helpful too, so do your part if you see your name abused.

This is what I meant also in that it's not enough to attract people. 0 fee that lasts for a short while, even a few months, is not worth the time to move over funds into a new exchange, where the liquidity is not so high and coins are few. By the time coins are listed and liquidity is high, the 0 fee is over and then you end up with just the same costs as on another exchange.

So in the end, it's marketing, but can't be sustainable

I guess it's the death of decentralized exchanges, for the ones that tried to do on chain like Delta. Even though Ethereum can do many more transactions compared to Bitcoin, this is why dex cannot work on low tx capacity blockchains. Waves on the other hand so far no network problems but that's also because they have fewer tokens and some day when things pick up they might be the ones to have issues.

Dex must somehow learn to go off chain, this is all. Maybe Bitcoin and LN can provide a good platform for DEX on BTC network?

Honestly I don't really know what is so attractive with 0 fee. Most traders are probably like me, we trade Maximum 10 or 20 times a month, and then there are months when we don't trade at all.

Fees are already low 0.1%. If we do 100 trades in a year, ok that's 10% already. But seriously how many of us make 100 trades a year and and what total volume?

Of course it makes sense to save as much as you can. But if you have to buy some digital token to get 0 fees. Or you have to suffer low liquidity, bad customer service. Trust me, it's so not worth it.

I don't see the point of people banning something like plagiarism without proof. Do they earn more? No. The bounty allocation is fixed. So it doesn't matter if 10 or 1000 people earn it, they just get a bigger stake. And since the manager isn't the one earning, it's like on this forum. The managers cut out the cheaters and plagiarizers. They don't earn extra but they want the project they serve to get good value for bounty.

Every time in my experience I see people complain, it's because they got caught. I've participated in so many signature campaigns, and even have been warned by a manager once or twice to change how I post, so I change and improve and that's good. But I see people who complain and look myself, and see... they're claiming better quality than they have.

I've seen the bounty list where there are 10,000 people participating in just one program. Are they supposed to provide screenshots for all 10,000 people? You can see yourself in this forum, plagiarism is banned and there are no screenshots. It's just bad for quality of forum or project if people are just rewriting stuff or worse, copypasting.

They're definitely not useful for proper investment decisions, but they can be a good idea to learn something about what's going on. Sort of like, just to catch up with what's out there.

Mainly because they're paid to list those reviews, if they're not paid then they're posting those reviews to earn bounties. So either way, you know they're saying something good, or can't say something too bad, or they won't get paid or not get enough bounties.

They're ok for finding websites, channels, etc. But nothing you can't find on your own.

You're kidding. Or fantasizing. Altcoins were made for the benefit of advance technologies? Take a look around the altcoin Announcement threads. Take the first 20 you see.

99% are tokens with no technology. 0 technology. They're using Ethereum protocols and technology.

Even altcoins with their own blockchain and protocols aren't really any superior to Bitcoin. And that's proven when they start having problems, get 51% attacked... etc.

OP you should update us here on the game. A few of us are curious, but naturally want to learn more about how the game works before trying it. FOMO3d ended and had the second round started a few days ago so I guess the lesson is that it does work so the model can somehow apply, just to see now if it can be sustainable. Popcoin model sounded good on paper too but if you can share statistics and all that, we can learn together.

Anybody won that first seeded round yet?

Hello Bitvest! Almost daily player here, just wanted to report that last month I made my first withdrawal and this is when I actually realized that BV is the only site I play at with instant withdrawal. As in, I requested a withdrawal, entered my password... next 2 seconds a TX id appeared.

Not saying this is better than other sites, but every other site I play at processes it quickly too, but have to wait maybe 5 or 10 mins before I see tx id.

Our thread here needs to show how active the damn community on bv really is. Love you all!
