se veía venir colega, no encuentro otro motivo por el cual alguien registraria la marca de Bitcoin si no es para demandar a otras empresas por el uso de esta, pero me da gusto que les han dado la vuelta y les han cancelado el registro. Ahora deberían ir a la carcel por actividad fraudulenta desde mi punto de vista.

Hablando de patentes absurdas, me enteré hace un par de años que los chinos patentaron "La virgen de guadalupa", la cual es uno de los santos mas idolatrados en México. Aún no han intentado acciones legales, pero en cualquier momento podrían hacerlo.

That's a nice story, I'm glad it had a happy end, but tell us more about this point, what do you mean by the restrictions on Bitcoin transactions, those transactions happen on internet, and not in your country, so that point isn't clear at all for me. If bitcoin is illegal in your country, then you should be careful with it, because that can send you and your friends to jail, so, play it smart and don't make noise about it.

By the way, what would happen if some of those friends goes to the police and tell them that you are holding bitcoin?

With the image i posted there shouldn't be any confusion, i mean, it's clear in that image that we are not talking about the video poker, and in the title i mention the freerolls.

Some of the US users are confused too because poker was on their platform from the past year, but for the rest of the world this is totally new.

I already played a couple of freerolls but is hard to get in the money when more than 2500 users are playing it. But i will keep trying, at least is free to try. And after asking to support, looks like any user can join for now, even new users, I'm sure that will change in the future, but now feel free to join.

If it would be that easy, then someone would already do it.

The only way to get the private key from the public key is by brute force, and as we know, to brute-force bitcoin addresses is a waste of time, there are better odds of finding a wallet on the street than finding a private key.

So, nothing to worry about.

I'm talking about Texas Hold'em on the site, not a 3rd party game, you can see the game in the next link: https://stake.com/casino/games/poker

The support told me that users need tickets for the tournaments, but i just registered to a freeroll without tickets, maybe the tickets are for some special tournaments, or it's a feature that will be implemented in the future, something like "Win this tournament and get tickets for a bigger one".

The poker games were available before but only for the dot US site, but on the dot com is new, from what i know it wasn't there the past week.

I was looking at stake when i realized they just added poker to the site, it only has freerolls for now but i feel like it's a great step because the community really needs some good poker sites with the right support to avoid collusion and multi accounts.


To register on the freerolls you need to be there 15 min. before the tournament start, and if you don't take your seat 2 minutes after the game starts then you will be kicked from the tournament, so, good luck to all.

I can't wait to see cash tables on the site, for sure is one of the next steps.

The bonus is legit, but there is a trick, it has a roll-over, i don't know what's the exact number but you will have to wager the amount x times, it could be 40 times or 60, I'm not sure, so, if you depo $500, then you will have $1500 balance, and wager it x30 (just as an example, i don't know the exact number) then you will have to wager $45,000 to be able to get that bonus money. And different games have different wagering rules, is not the same to wager on house games than slots than sports. Be sure to read the Terms before taking any bonus.

Me dejaron pensando colegas y tal vez ya es un poco tarde para este año, pero para el siguiente podríamos hacer un fondo de ahorro y que cada miembro activo de LE reciba un Icarus de edición especial, creo que eso sería buen detalle. Como dicen mis amigos, si nos organizamos todos cogemos 

Digo, serpia para el año que viene ya que este año ha pasado la fecha, pero creo que sería un buen detalle, no se que opinen mi querida comunidad, incluso si quieren hacerlo para este año sería cosa de que cada uno ponga su cooperación y pum Icarus para todos.

But what if they win huge with that "Free" bankroll?

Maybe adding $50 to their portfolio doesn't make any difference for them, but imagine the scenario where they bet those $50 and end up with a $1000 profit on the casino, then they add those $1000 on cryptos to their portfolio and hold them.

I feel like there is nothing bad about what your friends are doing with those airdrops, if they play it smart then they can make some huge profit in the long run.

Part of the bitcoin slogan is "Be your own bank", and that's what doesn't like at all to the banks. The fact that people don't need them to hold big amounts of money is something that they are worried about.

The ones who control the money are the ones with power, and just think about all the people who die and the bank keeps their money, what a nice business for them... And the fact that if you take a loan from them they charge close to 80% but if you invest with them you only get 3% annually...

So, from that perspective banks need their users to have an economy dependency with them, and cryptocurrency cuts that dependency, that's why they don't like cryptos.

Will there be a punishment for CW for this? Or any economic sanctions?

Maybe the fact that legally he is not Satoshi Nakamoto is enough punishment, but after reading parts of the paper i couldn't find any information about what would happen now, i would expect a monetary sanction for his actions, but looks like there is no punishment this time.

Bitcoin without internet is not possible because bitcoin is a protocol that runs un port 8333, to have a sync blockchain you need multiple computers connected, that way all of them have the same information. And the problem with radio waves is that not all radio stations will have the same information.

As you say, maybe making a new alt coin that only runs with radio waves would be a cool project, but i don't think this could be implemented directly to bitcoin.

No creo que esto sea efecto del halving ya que lo que estamos viendo es un incremento del 7.3% en el mercado de capitalización de las criptomonedas en general, hay monedas que dieron un salto como bitcoin, pero hay otras que literal están despegando hacia la luna como lo es ETH con su bump de $3100 a $3800, estamos hablando de un 30% en 24 horas y podría seguir subiendo.

Por lo que entiendo, esta subida en el mercado se debe a que hay un rumor de que los ETFs de Ethereum serán aprobados.

That's a nice act from efialtis, as always, helping the community with his connections with casinos. +1 for that.

But the problem is that OP has been away from the forum since 1 week ago, and there is no way to contact him, he doesn't have any contact link on his profile, so, we will have to wait until the next time he connects to the forum to help him. I don't doubt he is working hard now on his passport process.

I have read about the use of radio waves to send transaction in the past, and if we google about it we will find a lot of articles...

But you are talking about radio waves sent from a satellite or to a satellite is an interesting concept, for a moment i thought this was hard because to propagate those waves we need a medium, but after some research, i learned that radio waves propagate at a speed of light in the empty space.

So, what you say are possible, but in some point those waves must get to a satellite with internet to broadcast the transaction in the blockchain.

You have a good point here, Luck is a must, any strategy without luck will drain our balance fast, even if we can lose back to back on 98% chance of winning, in the long run, it will happen and with bad luck, it can happen in our first bets. But playing with the odds in our side or with a high chance to win is the right way to wager a lot of money.

once i was betting on 95% chance to win and i was with the idea that it was impossible to lose 5 consecutive times, until it happened and I lost all.

Creo que en el caso de los exchange es un poco mas difícil ya que la entrada y la salida del dinero es por cantidades similares, lo que cambia es la moneda, pero en el caso del gambling podemos justificar $10,000 dolares con una apuesta de $10 dolares, y eso es lo que lo vuelve interesante.

Este es un punto a tener en cuenta, la ley es muuuuy lenta en cuanto al proceso, en lo que hacen la investigación y empiezan la persecución es probable que el malandro ya se haya gastado los fondos o que este ya se encuentre escondido en otro país.

Es un tema interesante ya que no estoy seguro si se tengan que pagar impuestos solo por tener las monedas. Y en caso de que le cayera, cuando sucedió la cantidad era tan baja que seguro ni se notó. Aparte de que en el tiquet de compra de las pizzas debe de estar el impuesto incluido.

Según por lo que entiendo el echo de tener monedas guardadas no debería de ser un factor de pago de impuestos, pero tal vez me equivoque.

I'm really sorry about your friend, i know how hard it is.

About the wallet, maybe you could get the password from the web browser on his computer, as you know some people save their passwords on the web browsers (which is a damn terrible practice, but a lot of users do it), and maybe one of those passwords were used for the wallet too. That's what i would do, at least is a way to try to recover that wallet. I hope this information helps and i wish you good luck with the process.

From all the answers on this thread you are the only one who shared a real strategy.

But betting on 1st, 2nd and 3rd would be the same as betting on Red and Black at the same time, that way the only number to lose is zero. But I like your method, It feels secure for an all-in. But another fact here is the betting speed, on dice we can do some turbo betting while roulette takes some time for each round.
