Dapp with referral system and defi, who's expert to create a light weight code.
PM me with how much you cost. We will share more details if you sound under budget.
If want to do partnership than most welcome, we will provide initial 50-100 investors later depends on market.
The main issue is the dApp you deploy on. Doing DeFi requires a number of transactions, so the Solidity based blockchains can be pretty expensive to run on and not 'light weight'. I've built a number of related services, although not a DeFi solution. If you want to, you can PM me on it, I'm very direct with answers on questions. |

You can PM me, if you'd like. I have lots of experience with casino software and deployed a number of solutuions over the years - including Sic-Bo. I've mentioned here and there that I was coding code for a crypto casino web service over the last several weeks and that's why I was inactive.
To be clear, this casino which we are going to host on rivemont.io - we already bought the domain and hosting but it doesn't point to anything yet - is only going to have Sic-bo dice. So it's like Bustabit or Primedice in that there's just one game. Except there is no other sic-bo dice crypto betting site on the entire internet (Evolution Gaming packaged on some sites comes close but... it's a live dealer game and quite inaccessible).
It's also going to be a community-funded project. A button on the site will let you deposit bitcoin as a bankroll investment, as the owner and I do not have big money to invest in the bankroll. Currently, it's just the two of us - we used to have another developer but he mysteriously disappeared last month. Also, the owner almost never browses Bitcointalk so it's really just me around here.
So, the project has been stalling and has been pushed weeks behind the launch date because we can't get time to work on the massive amount of backend code that still needs to be written. The frontend is already completed so this is the only thing holding us up.
So, I'm calling on the community for this one.
Anyone who knows Javascript (Node.js in particular - the entire project is written in JS) is free to contact me on Bitcointalk, Telegram, and such to jump aboard this project if you want to help us speed things up. We can't offer a salary due to our limited budget - even I'm doing this for free - but we can negotiate for you a cut of the site's net revenue once we launch - which by the way we anticipate the site to rake AT LEAST tens of thousands of $. All the source code is hosted on private Github repos so there is not much required from you besides free time and proficiency in JS.
We really wanted to launch this thing back in December but we could not recruit enough devs for this in time so I was overloaded.
No wannabe scammers, time-wasters, or people offering "token supply" for project funds please (there was this one guy who was demanding KYC(!!!) from us over telegram as a condition for him working with us so we want to avoid those kind of people).

There are bridges, depending on which dApp platform you would use. With Ethereum, if you use the web player for unity, you can use the ExternalCall, to call the web3 js provider and have metamask as a requirement to do calls to smart contracts etc.
Other options would be to use the json-rpc interfaces.
So there are options, without knowing the details of the game, that is briefly described. Different blockchains have different methods. Remeber that doing microtransactions and high speed stuff is not viable on many of the blockchains due to the slow transaction speed and easy to cause congestion as well as tx costs.

As per the headline, I've decided to sell the domain paycrypto.com. paychain.com (which is worse) was sold for $12,500. I can entertain offers on the domain, first offer of $10,000 in btc or eth will get the domain. Lower bids will be entertained.
The domain is 7 years old, and was intended for a payment service (coinbase, blockchain) but i instead have chose to focus more on OTC.
Interested parties, let me know.

In addition to some of the advice given, beyond technical analysis, you have to remeber that crypto is largely sentiment driven. Good articles, news will pump the price, while negative news will dump the price, more so than the technical analysis will lend itself to.
So, if you want to be a 'day trader' then listen to the drums. That is what will give you a leg up.
As for technical analysis, trend lines have worked the best for me, other than the news, of course. Right now, we are in an accumulation phase, a wedge pattern. BTC floats around 7960, with movements up and down, and ETH, looks a bit perkier, so I am thinking we will see ETH 300 before BTC 9000. I believe the uptrend will continue, as the news are quite good, however, remember that the summer months normally are middling, smaller volumes, less fiat coming in, so the summer months I consider not optimal for trading a long position on an uptick, as the smaller volumes can make shorters have good time by doing dumps.
So, keep in mind that the markets are quite shallow, lack of liquidity, so market manipulators can move prices quite a bit for short time frames at least. So avoid doing futures with large leverages, as that will be no better than gambling.

To sue an ICO, you must talk to a lawyer in the jurisdiction of the founders, and see about the viability. Laws differ in all jurisdiction on the subject matter and may just be a waste of time. Any reputable lawyer will give you at least a 30 minute talk for free - I would have - to just give you an assessment of the viability of the action you seek.
If it's in US, then, I dare to say that it's viable, but it has to do with how the ICO document was written, risk factors, your due diligence and so on. So before you go to a lawyer, gather up all the documents, and arrange them so it will be easy to understand for a legal professional.
Now, here comes my general advice: never invest in an ICO that have no product up. Anyone that want to launch an ICO - also take heed: first you seek angel capital, don't raise from the public. First create a viable alpha or at least beta product, and preferably get in a number of users BEFORE you raise money from the public. The inverse is true: if you don't know the guys behind the ICO, then don't invest until there is a viable product and you can verify that the guys can actually do the job at hand. If you raise funds, remember: that you expose yourself to risk. Same if you invest into something.
Best way to reduce risk, is to stage the products in multiple roll-outs, and the raise can increase; as an investor, the smaller the raise is the overall risk reduces as an exit scam is less likely.
As for myself, im a software engineer, served as CTO, software architect, lead programmer and so forth for about 30 years. I also have a degree in law, which i don't really use, other than for private or corporate litigation, so I never take on external clients for legal work. So I'm giving this advice in a general manner for both parties.

I've developed a number of smart contracts over the years with Ethereum. However, I have reflected that many of the use-cases for smart contracts are simply not feasible due to the
memory costs of Ethereum. For instance, I wanted to develop my wagering platform as an ETH smart contract. But I can't, and here's why:
- Each contest should be stored in contract. with the odds. Odds updates very frequently. Say the NBA games just (one contest), have the Point spread, totals and money line along with another 80+ or so alternate odds and prop bets.
- each of those data points would need to be stored as I would like to settle the contract in real time.
So, does anyone have any good ideas how to handle this type of scenario, with the volumes a modern sports wagering company would need? Also, if the players want in-game betting, the data points updates would need to
be at the magnitude of several 1000 updates per minute.

As far as I know they only accept BTC. Official conversion fee mentioned on their website is low I guess it was something like 1-3% but in reality when you try to load the card for me it was around 100EUR for 1000EUR (converted from BTC) which is kinda high  Wow, 10% that is really high. The Wavecrest cards was kinda low. Bitwala 1.5% or so to their wavecrest card, and Xapo, I think was about 4% on their system that deducted directly from BTC balance. |

Does anyone know what crypto mister tango accepts? And what is their fee for conversion?
|
|
|
|
Hmm, on their website it states that they charge 3% in bitcoin fees. But as with any other of these providers, 3% of what rate? Stamp? Finex? 3% to begin with is quite high, imho. Personally, I think 2-2.5% of stamp is ok. |

I did have my cards shut down, they were all issued by wavecrest.
So what are the best alternatives now? I sent some emails, but it's in all honesty quite the jungle out there. I liked XAPO for being registered in Switzerland. Bitwala out of Germany. Is there stable companies out there?
And which ones function like XAPO (did), where the balance is drawn from the crypto balance? I.e. no preloading and preconversion?

Thanks for your feedback, glad you've liked our platform! We're planning to add HTTPS support in next release, as well as other features that are in development now. Our team is multicultural  User funds are securely spread over variety of cold storages/vaults, only small percent are used for daily operations. I think it's hard to tell where is the better odds, because they really differs from match to match and from one bet type to another. Some of odds are higher on BetOpen, some on the platform you've mentioned. But what we can say with 100% sure is that our odds are highly competitive in the market. Did you develop the software in-house? I think it looks very nice. Kudos to the dev and designers. Is the ICO over? I'd like to talk to one of your business developers, as I'm in the business myself, think I have some things that could be of interest to you. |

I'll answer from my own perspective, and having worked with online gambling and players for 15+ years.
Deposit and Withdrawal Time? Immediate. The faster the better.
Minimum Dep and Withdrawal? Min should be somewhere around $10 or even lower. Hard with the bitcoin fees, but many players like to start out with micro-limits.
Rakeback? Volume players like rake-back.
Licenses for your region? European players in particular want licensed operators. Why? Without skirting laws, gambling profits within EU are tax free.
Customer support? Language? Live-Chat. Live chat and email is normally sufficient, especially for bitcoin based ops. If you have VIP programs, then those should have call-in options.
What currency to host the games in? If you take bitcoins, then bitcoins should be the flavour. Maybe mBtc, as that is about 2x Euros and dollars, making the limits a bit more easy to translate for new bitcoin users.
Freerolls? Tournaments are important; but I have seen rookie ops being to generous with their freerolls, they ended up having just freeroll whores. You need to learn how to create a promotional funnel, as see that the users convert from free players to paying players. If not, rhen the freerolls will be for nothing. Good strategy is to do qualified freerolls; i.e. weekly new depositing user tournaments etc.
Free money to sign up? It's peer-2-peer, if you give free money directly on signup, you can get people praying on that policy via chip dumping.
Rake percentage? Keep it medium-low.
Based on your questions, it does sound like you are quite new to gambling. Please get yourself an expert to help you out. Your backend must have anti-collusion, anti-fraud when you do bitcoin and no kyc. If the software is new, how have you done with testing? Can you handle 10000's of thousands of players? How many devs and time have you used on software and testing procedures? Remeber that gambling companies get severe hacking attacks all the time; there are groups of hackers that target new operations; even DDOS attacks if you don't know how to mitiage that.
Furthermore, critical mass issues are extremly important. You touched on the rake-back, but you should have prop-player programs and other type of generous offers when building critical mass. When it comes to features, forget about doing SpeedPoker and stuff like that, it's still so fringe. Focus on launching first and foremost texas hold'em and just a few limits so you can keep the tables relatively full while building critical mass. Create a launch schedule of new features, limits, games (omaha, hi/lo, stud, speed etc.) that is based on how many players you have, not to dilute players to much and hurt your own critical mass build-up.
If you wonder: yes, I have launched many operations before; it's my job for 17 years. Rember you entering into something that is very complex. Easy on the surface, very complex under the hood. If you don't have awesome software engineers with 10-20 years experience in software and gambling software in particular, then consider getting it from a vendor instead.
An example: I saw many gambling companies in the early 2000's when poker started to grow that said 'We will build our own poker! We will be rich'. I saw maybe 20 companies that hired their own software teams, and all said 'we launch in 2-3 months'. A year later, they had gone through 500-800k and still said 'in 2-3 months we launch'. They never did. Fyi: I advised to them to not to develop, but acquire or lease. Software is very complex, and Poker is a real time application, with many in's and out's; the speed required, logging etc make it that you need a very optimized solution. If you have any security holes, in gambling that is the kiss of death.
So, my advice is; get an expert adviser in that can help you. It will cost you a bit of money, but it will be worth it.

not more than 30% maybe because the biggest percentage maybe held by miners and traders as we can see there are a lot of markets than gambling site. the volume too
Some miners and traders are also a gamblers and 30% is pure guessing, there is no way for us to calculate how much percents of all crypto wealth is in gambling. There is many sites, and probably every site have some high rollers, plus so many little players. Its already mentioned, but some fiat casinos now accept bitcoins, and how to track all that, almost impossible. Even thou 30% is guessing, I must admit that its reasonable assumption, maybe a bit high who knows, 30% out of 70 billion, market value of cryptocurrencies, is almost 21 billion, do you really think that people have so much money in bitcoin gambling? When you put things like this in dollars for me 30% maybe even sounds to high. I tried to find more informations about about this topic but I couldn`t, I doubt that we will hear right answer on this question. Yes, I doubt also that a completely accurate number will be found. I do appreciate all the answers in the thread with estimates and theories to come up with a somewhat accurate estimate. Personally, I am thinking crypto-gambling is between 400 million and 1 billion a month in revenues, all depending how you count. I estimate that companies like nitrogen for instance (I could be completely off), have some 6000-8000 players per month based on analyzing traffic (not blockchain data). If they are normal post-up players, that is about $100 per player in revenues or 6-8 million during season. Now, there are then other companies with about same size as nitrogen, and then 'old' companies, like Bovada and other companies that have started to direct a large amount of their activities to crypto-currencies. of the 45 billion dollar a year gambling market, I estimate that 15-25% is stemming from crypto-currency deposits. I am therefor estimating a value of the crypto-gambling markets between 5 billion and 12 billion dollars a year in revenues. The answers I have received have largely been in the range of my own estimates. I thank all contributors to the thread. |

With all the pros & cons which would be the ICO companies/websites/software you recommend for a new project launch?
Ease of use and reputation are as important as is getting FIAT transferred to a bank account after the ICO ends.
Not to flame here, but should you start an ICO if you don't have guys that can do that for you? You should hire those experts and have them on payroll, not outsource to those sites herein recommended. Not that I believe they have a poor service, but if you want to start an ico and don't know how to set up same services internally, it's like starting a bakery, not knowing how to make the dough. If a good dev/ico experienced guy see your plan and like it, you can pay most of the cost in tokens, like stock optios for key personnel doing an IPO. Just my 2 cents. |

Of course, there is a little bit of risked involved in buying now... But I think it will be okay. And if you really want to gain a lot, you can't run with the herd. You have to buy when people are shitting their pants. Which is right now...
Amen to that. I'm still not sure whether I'm extremely confident or extremely stupid, but I'm pretty sure that things will turn out better than expected - even with a hardfork looming in the near future. Yet I still wouldn't touch the markets on July 31st, mostly because I don't trust exchanges to handle potential upcoming clusterfucks properly. Regardless of that I would expect the best prices to be from today until maybe the 28th of July. I don't expect the price to go much lower than 1800 / 1700 however. If you absolutely want to enter the market try to ease yourself in. I haven't followed the hardfork discussions, admittedly, but I have said that the community MUST solve the scaling issue. I think that miners, and other major companies that determines if a hardfork will happen, realize that. I'm therefore saying that this weekends dip was the last one, and if we get a successful deployment of a scaling solution (segwit2x) in the next 2 weeks, then we should see a considerable rally. Not that segwit2x is the end-all, be-all solution, but it shows that the politics of bitcoin can be resolved, and further scaling needs can be meet. As for the exchanges handling 'clusterfucks' yeah, some of them have shown remarkable incompetence, for sure. But I think it will be solved, people can have issues next few weeks in getting their coins in and out, but it will be worked out. I hope...  So, I'd say: probably a pretty good time to get in, or go long if you hold already. Disclaimer: I hold a fair amount, and not selling for the 1st of august event. |

No it's not. In gambling you are guaranteed to lose longterm. In trading, if the market is bullish in the longrun, you will guaranteed make money (that is if risks are considered well).
You are only guaranteed to make a profit in trading if you are long or hoard in a constant upmarket. Trading is NOT hoarding. I.e buying gold and sticking it a drawer 100 years ago would have netted a nice profit. But that is not same as trading. Trading means buying and selling. In trading, your commissions are only 0.1-0.2-0.5%, and hence, you can easier make a profit. Gambling, the 'hold' percentage for sportsbooks are 4-7%, so there it's a lot less likely to make a profit long term, as you contend with a commission rate that is 20-30 times higher. So, don't confuse hoarding for trading. Trading exchanges use same principles as a sportsbook, just smaller hold percentage. Active trading in a high volatile environment like the last few weeks are as much gambling as betting on the outcome of a football game. |

Just curious since the last discussion I had was about gambling vs trading. I know trading can seem to be a bit of a gamble as well, but I see it a little bit like poker. It's a combination of math and psychology. Maybe not the same ratio though, just generalizing  I have heard Wall Street guys are extreme risk takers; they gamble heavily. The difference is that Wall Street guys when trading do that largely with other peoples money. I gamble and I trade; I feel same type of 'rush' by doing both, especially when trading with heavy leveraged futures, and in volatile markets (as they are now). Sure, I win some, I loose some, but so far, for the last few years, I am ending up more on the winning side. Both are true for Poker, and Trading, and in some cases, sportsbetting. My trick for sportsbetting is that I have access to internal data, so I bet against the public money. For Poker, I look for weak tables, where it seems to be rookie players at the tables. In trading, I wait for a condition when i see the markets turning (i.e. overheated, way to high price), then take out a short. I then wait for a drop and see when the markets start to turn, and go long. So I maybe apply some of the same psychology: I wait for others to make a mistake and show their intentionm and then use a weakness of others to make a profit. |
