Loše vijesti iz jedne od najdugovječnijih kampanja na forumu. Hhampuz je odlučio privremeno pauzirati FreeBitco.in sig. kampanju dok se TheQuin ne javi.

There's been an increasing number of concerns and reports about withdraws not going through on freebitcoin at the moment. I have requested TheQuin to give me an update or to post one publicly and until that happens I'm afraid I have to put this campaign on HOLD and would like to ask you all to remove your signatures and avatars for the time being. I am aware that a week has already begun and I will take care of you all regardless of the outcome.

I still like the WoF spins that we get for holding the FUN tokens as it gives some decent rewards.
But then what's the point if the value of FUN tokens keeps depreciating over time.
The intrinsic value of FUN token isn't coming to limelight to be honest.
I just looked it out whether the team is making any advancements and I got to know that it has been trying to do various partnerships with various new projects.
One of them is "puffverse" which has become a partner of FUN but all these partnerships aren't working out well for FUN.

When they mentioned they would be focusing more on GameFi, I expected something more substantial than some meaningless partnerships where they give some tokens to players in a third party game through lootboxes. It might give them a bit of exposure but it does nothing to increase the utility or value of the token. The WOF rewards are decent compared to the faucet, but it is still not enough to make up for the losses from holding the token.

Yep. I cant say I'm optimistic about FUN's long-term prospects at this point. The price keeps sliding lower and lower.  Most casino coins are kinda like that unfortunately - the developers don't add more utility or try to boost demand.  A token needs more going for it than just gambling to keep growing.


edit:
At least, some good news! Users in the main thread are reporting that withdrawals from the site are working again.

Meni se čini da je razlika između kupnje i prodaje solidna tako da itekako imaju proviziju.

Ma to je jasno. Ja sam govorio isključivo o prodaji kriptovaluta. Nema drugog servisa koliko je meni poznato da nudi takvu cijenu. Osim možda P2P, ali ovo mi je puno jednostavnije.

Naravno jedno je Eur drugo dolar pa malo buni.

Znaš da ti i CMC također može prikazivati cijene u EUR, zar ne?  Wink

Ne znam u čemu je fora, ali evo i sada ako usporedimo otkupnu cijenu na njihovoj web stranici, čak je 40-tak eura viša od cijene BTC-a na CoinMarketCapu Huh
Delay? Vjerojatno kasne s ažuriranjem cijene pa možeš proći bolje ili lošije.

Moguće. Ali ipak, ispada da ne uzimaju gotovo nikakvu naknadu pri otkupu kriptovaluta što ih čini trenutno najpovoljnijom opcijom.

Evo za primjer USDT (tu ne bi trebalo biti nikakvog kašnjenja jer nema volatilnosti):

Google: 1 $ = 0,92 EUR
shitcoins.club: 1 USDT = 0.91733 EUR

Ovisi ti i o valuti koju mijenjaš. Nisu uopće transparentni oko toga ali imaš prodajnu i kupovnu cijenu za svaku valutu. Usporediš s onime na coinmarketcapu pa vidiš kolika je provizija.
Da, nasao sam malo kasnije u FAQ vise informacija o tome i izgleda da fee uglavnom varira izmedju 1%-4%.  Znam da mjenjacnice oduvijek funkcioniraju na tom principu, ali nekako sam se kroz koristenje Bitcoin ATMova navikao na taj fee princip koji je puno transparentniji nego da ovako moram usporedjivati cijene + jebanje sa preracunavanjem cijene iz eura u dolare.

Baš sam nedavno slučajno naletio na jedan od Shitcoins Club bankomata pa sam ga odlučio testirati s manjom svotom jer je prošlo dosta vremena od kada sam ih posljednji puta koristio. Iskreno, iznenadio sam se s iznosom naknade. U pozitivnom smislu. Mislim da nemaš razloga plaćati naknade u mjenjačnicama ako ti je neki od njihovih bankomata u blizini.

Ne znam u čemu je fora, ali evo i sada ako usporedimo otkupnu cijenu na njihovoj web stranici, čak je 40-tak eura viša od cijene BTC-a na CoinMarketCapu Huh

As far as UTXOs go, that's a paradigm I don't quite understand yet.
I thought I was doing a good thing by buying Sats whenever I got paid, but now some are telling me that is a bad thing.  This is worrisome. 

Not necessarily a bad thing. Buying satoshis in small amounts and accumulating multiple transactions of small amounts only affects your transaction fee in the future if it is your own non-custodial wallet. But since you bought satoshis on a centralized exchange, it has no effect. The amount of the withdrawal fee in your case depends solely on the exchange and their internal policy. You can't influence that, except you can decide to exchange BTC for some altcoin that has a lower withdrawal fee.

And 'Consolidating Inputs' ...I have no idea what that is.
I guess I truly am a newbie when it comes to BTC  *facepalm*

Again, this is related to holding coins in a non-custodial wallet. "Consolidating Inputs" is basically combining multiple small transactions (UTXOs) into a single larger transaction. This can help you save on transaction fees in the future. Bitcoins are like bills and coins in your physical wallet. Imagine you have a wallet full of one dollar bills. Consolidating inputs is like exchanging a hundred one dollar bills for one $100 bill. Just as a $100 bill takes up less space in your wallet, so a Bitcoin transaction with a smaller number of inputs takes up less space on the network, and for that reason the fee for the transaction is lower.

What do you think?

Since there is zero chance your brother can get his coins back, I see no point in communicating with the scammers at all. Honestly, I think the best course of action is to completely ignore it.
8  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fixed matches group in 3rd world countries on: May 19, 2024, 09:50:31 AM
Until you try it directly and explain the experience, I'll never believe the Telegram or Facebook groups you're referring to. The basic reason is from my experience of gambling on football since high school and joining many betting signal groups, but none of them are truly legit, back to the words that I think make the most sense as to why they're a scam are "simply if they ( admins) have accurate information, they don't have to make signals because they can enrich themselves".
I'm willing to, but I haven't had the opportunity yet. I'll probably discuss it with my friend next week. I'm fully aware that money doesn't grow on trees, and something that sounds too good to be true probably isn't. I've never joined any signal groups in the past, simply because I don't trust them. Why would anyone give information when they could use it themselves? This case seems different a little from what we're used to, but that doesn't make it legit in the long run. Even if I involve myself in the group, it would still be reasonable to be skeptical about it. Just because it works now and pays doesn't mean it's going to in the next one or two months; that's exactly how Ponzis' work.

I figure trying don't cause too much harm if you go in with reasonable hopes.  MAAManda raises a good point too - if these people really had solid info that works, they'd just be using it themselves and raking in the cash.  So before you even think about joining, make sure to watch your back.  Maybe use fake profiles you don't care about getting banned or something. Just be careful because if it sounds too good to be true, it always is.  And these sport betting sites will slam that ban hammer down fast if they catch a whiff of you using some service to try beating them.

Ultimately it's your call.  If you try it, go low-risk.  But something tells me you already know better than to bet big on questionable tips from Internet strangers.  In the end, trust your gut bet what you can lose, and don't expect miracles.

Good luck either way though!

It was not "money mismanagement", it was fraud - plain and simple. That money was under their control for an assigned purpose, when they decided to take it and fritter it away on gambling, they did so with dishonest intent. It was driven by greed, they thought they could beat the system and ultimately got eaten up by it. It's hard to have any sympathy for them, as they probably had multiple chances to stop early on but kept pushing through with disastrous results. I feel sorry for the many people who will have to go without now, as one person tried to take a shortcut to wealth against odds that were stacked against them.

Absolutely right. When someone takes money that's been entrusted to them and uses it to gamble, that ain't just bad management - it's fraud, plain and simple.  Theres a clear difference between making a dumb investing decision with good intentions versus intentionally taking what isn't yours to score big at the casino.  This developer sounds like a first-class moron and maybe even an addict who couldn't keep his impulses in check and  his boneheaded choice didn't just screw over those users directly, it makes the whole industry look bad.

I haven't tried it myself; I just learned about it yesterday evening, and to be honest, although it sounds too good to be true, I'd potentially test it with a bet or two, but not involving my own money. My friend however, has already won quite a few matches and has generated a decent amount of money.

Technically, anything is possible. There is no doubt that there are fixed matches and sports betting manipulations. There's a whole underground betting scene, sure, but this situation with your friend reeks of a classic scam with a shiny new coat of paint.

High odds, 50/50 profit split? Red flags everywhere. If someone's "giving away" money on sure bets, why wouldn't they keep it all?  You say admin is banned from gambling platforms so he can't bet by himself, but what about his real life friends and family members? Instead he needs some FB "friends" to share the profits with? Where's the logic in that? I think this is a classic trick to build trust. They throw you a couple of wins to make it seem legit before the inevitable "big one" that disappears with all your "shared" profits.
11  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: buy bitcoin. I have $800. on: May 15, 2024, 06:16:36 AM
I will buy bitcoin. I have 800$. for my safety the transaction will be conducted through MM. write me here or in discord: carolgarcia6559
What is MM though?
My first time getting to know about such a payment method or perhaps platform?

what payment method are you offering ?
He talks of MM, do you have any idea what that is?

The only thing I can think of is that he may be referring to the "Money Market" accounts that banks offer. Although, I'm not sure how common the use of such accounts is in P2P transactions for buying cryptocurrencies. In general, it's simpler and safer to go through a well-known centralized exchange.
12  Economy / Gambling / Re: Poker bot profiles on: May 15, 2024, 06:01:27 AM
To the last question, I might attempt to answer, and my answer will be "maybe yes", and reason is, if this bots are developed, then it possibly means that their use may be allowed on and by some casinos, but on the other hand, I will still advise prospective buyers to first find out from their respective casinos if bots like this are allowed, to avoid wasting money on stuffs that aren't usable.

From what I know, trying to use bots on gambling sites is  a surefire way to get your account banned! The casinos have sophisticated programs to catch that kind of thing right quick.

But, what do I know? Maybe you're onto something and  could be there's some online casino wonderland where bots can run free without getting the boot. Although even then, gotta watch your back.  Those bot sellers might not have your best interests at heart.  But like I said this ain't my area of expertise.  Just thought Id offer my two sats on the situation.
13  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [WARNING] BitcoinMiningSolutions.ca || FAKE TEAM on: May 13, 2024, 06:06:57 AM
A new version of the Whitepaper is now available on the website. They just kicked out people who were found out to be fake! Smiley

Apparently, our little scammer buddy saw the accusations and couldn't even muster a decent defense. Just kept peddling his phony project like nothing happened. Pathetic.
14  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Scam by a BCGame Employee on: May 12, 2024, 04:30:06 PM
PLEASE ANYONE HIGHER UP FROM BCGAME MESSAGE ME TO GET FURTHER PROOFS

This doesn't make sense. Why would they contact YOU to get further evidence?

If you suspect a casino employee scammed you, wouldn't you try to contact THEM to report it?  But like others have said, it's far more likely you fell victim to a scammer pretending to be a casino representative.  Honestly, given the type of information you requested, perhaps you didn't deserve a better outcome.  So in a way, justice is served!

A question to all of you that have invested in Bitcoin before, what does it look like? Because I know there are so many people that want to get into it, but they fill is not real, so I want to get some ideas from anybody that know how it's work please 🙏.

How does this question of yours differ from your first topic on this forum?

If you're new to online forums, that's fine, but wasting everyone's time with repetitive threads goes against basic forum etiquette.  Take a moment to read familiarize yourself with the forum rules and learn how to contribute meaningfully.

16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Chased loss, got it back and lost everything. on: May 12, 2024, 02:07:31 PM
Yup, been there, seen that. The so-called recovering gambler who gets that rush from winning some money back and thinks, welp, maybe just one more spin of the wheel to really get ahead.  It's a nasty cycle, I know it all too well.  That little voice starts whispering come on try your luck again! Think of everything you could do with another big payout...  and  hard to ignore, right?  Even when you have the best intentions to stop, it finds a way to suck you back in.
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is Bitcoin the Dubmest Thing Ever Invented on: May 12, 2024, 01:33:14 PM
<snip>

You say Bitcoin units hold nothing, like empty boxes. But aren't empty boxes valuable too? Collectors pay a fortune for limited edition shoeboxes!  Maybe Bitcoin is the ultimate limited-edition digital box.  Who knows, maybe someday people will be fighting over empty Bitcoin wallets at museums!

As for the whole "non-existent asset" thing, tell that to the folks using Bitcoin for everyday transactions or those holding it as a hedge against inflation.  Maybe it's not the Mona Lisa, but scarcity and utility do hold value. You don't have to admit it, but it's a fact.
18  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Eurovision 2024 bets on: May 12, 2024, 01:16:24 PM
I'm happy UK got 0 points from public because kids were watching man and that is not appropriate at all but I also dislike heavily the fact that Swiss won based on what ? the song is just another radio song that will be forgotten in about 1 week + he broke the code and also the trophy.
Yeah, not really happy with Switzerland win, didn't liked it at all and already forgot how it sounds. Interesting what result it would be if it would be performed by someone who doesn't considers themselves and non-binary gender and wearing dress. I guess somewhere in the middle.
It looks that both jury and people voted quite similar, what isn't very common. Only big exception is Israel, they didn't got much votes from jury, but got a lot from spectators.

I think otherwise. The jury's votes are dramatically out of sync with the audience's preferences this year. For example, Switzerland would have only placed fifth according to the public vote.

I think it's high time to eliminate the jury voting at the Eurovision Song Contest. Many viewers feel frustrated that no matter how much public support their favorite acts get, the professional jury members override popular opinion to hand victories to less popular performers. Over the past few years especially, their bloc voting has catapulted somewhat questionable winners to the top spot over more crowd-pleasing hopefuls. With the experts accounting for 50% of each country's score, the public's role in picking the champion seems diminished. What's the purpose of letting fans vote in a contest where their preferences carry so little weight? If the EBU wants to retain public engagement they should reassess how much influence televoters versus judges have on the final outcome.
19  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Need suggestion for a good Monero wallet on: May 10, 2024, 05:53:12 AM
Does Monero have such type of wallet or which wallet you recommend has at-least a faster syncing.

In order for the "light" wallet for Monero to work, you will have to share your private view key with the remote server. This will violate your privacy, but such wallets will synchronize with the network faster. The only two such wallets suggested on the getmonero.org website are MyMonero and Edge.

I am not aware that there are any other Electrum forks for Monero. The closest to it is the Feather wallet, which you have already tried.
