5 sats/byte according to https://coinb.in/#fees as of this moment. It was around 15 sats/byte a few hours ago too.

This would probably be the best time to consolidate or move coins around.

It's also a bit late, but have a happy new year, people of Bitcointalk!

Vice recently came out with an article called Leaked Documents Expose the Secretive Market for Your Web Browsing Data:

An antivirus program used by hundreds of millions of people around the world is selling highly sensitive web browsing data to many of the world's biggest companies, a joint investigation by Motherboard and PCMag has found. Our report relies on leaked user data, contracts, and other company documents that show the sale of this data is both highly sensitive and is in many cases supposed to remain confidential between the company selling the data and the clients purchasing it.

The documents, from a subsidiary of the antivirus giant Avast called Jumpshot, shine new light on the secretive sale and supply chain of peoples' internet browsing histories. They show that the Avast antivirus program installed on a person's computer collects data, and that Jumpshot repackages it into various different products that are then sold to many of the largest companies in the world. Some past, present, and potential clients include Google, Yelp, Microsoft, McKinsey, Pepsi, Sephora, Home Depot, Condé Nast, Intuit, and many others. Some clients paid millions of dollars for products that include a so-called "All Clicks Feed," which can track user behavior, clicks, and movement across websites in highly precise detail.

[...]

Although the data does not include personal information such as users' names, it still contains a wealth of specific browsing data, and experts say it could be possible to deanonymize certain users.

[...]

"It's very granular, and it's great data for these companies, because it's down to the device level with a timestamp," the source said, referring to the specificity and sensitivity of the data being sold. Motherboard granted the source anonymity to speak more candidly about Jumpshot's processes.

[...]

But Jumpshot's data may not be totally anonymous. The internal product handbook says that device IDs do not change for each user, "unless a user completely uninstalls and reinstalls the security software." Numerous articles and academic studies have shown how it is possible to unmask people using so-called anonymized data. In 2006, New York Times reporters were able to identify a specific person from a cache of supposedly anonymous search data that AOL publicly released. Although the tested data was more focused on social media links, which Jumpshot redacts somewhat, a 2017 study from Stanford University found it was possible to identify people from anonymous web browsing data.

What this means for Avast users is that there is a profile of you out there, which likely shows that you're engaged in crypto, that can be traced back to your personal identity. Even assuming that the profile is only ever going to be used for marketing, data leaks/hacks could easily expose you to bad actors. All of this could lead to you losing money, one way or another. If you care about this at all, I recommend you uninstall Avast and all its other products now.

This also serves as a reminder to only install absolute essentials on your computer, especially if you're using it to handle crypto. Windows Defender should be more than good enough as an anti-virus (even if Microsoft is spying on you, at least there would only be one company doing so lol) for as long as you observe due diligence. Better yet, you could give Linux a try -- dual booting is easy and you won't have to abandon your set up completely.

Need 0.015 loan and will pay the interest based on your terms for 1 week or earlier hope someone can fill my loan. I can offer this account as a collateral.

Regards.

Mga boss pasensya na kung gumawa pa ako ng thread. Nasubukan niyo na ba mag deposit sa powerbet.io? Nag bet kasi ako nanalo ako bale may 0.04 na ako pero sinubukan ko mag withdraw parating error. Bakit kaya? Nabasa ko dito sa forum na legit naman. Sana may sumagot thanks.

What is Gambit?

Gambit is a multiplayer gaming platform offering lots of various strategy and classic card games, dice games, and board games. It's simple...just choose a game and your parameters and then wait for someone to join, or join another game already created. Try and climb the leaderboards to become the #1 overall gamer on the site or hone your skills on just a few games. If you want to make it a little more exciting, deposit Bitcoins and make a wager! Cashout your winnings any time you like!

We offer games like monopoly (bitnopoly), Battleship (Oh Ship), Penta (connect 5), Backgammon, Rock Paper Scissors, Stratego (Capture), and Dots & Boxes. Soon to be released are Yatzy, Dominoes, and Risc (Risk).

https://www.gambit.com/

For anyone who is a big Stratego fan, we have added a very similar game to our platform that we're calling Capture. Stratego was always one of my favorite board games growing up, and I thought it'd be great if you could play it online against other people for bitcoins! We've modified the rules and game board just a bit to try and improve game play. Read over the rules to see what we've changed:

https://www.gambit.com/capture/rules

On Gambit.com, we have 7 games and 3 more in the works. You can play for free and earn bitcoins each time you win, or you can bet bitcoin and win bigger. Free signup, and you can withdraw once you reach 10k points on the site (.01 btc).

https://www.gambit.com

Come check it out and let me know what you think. thanks!

I noticed there was once upon a time another site where people could play against each other in a game of battleship for bitcoins. However, that other site is down, so just wanted to let people know that you can play battleship for bitcoins at Gambit.com. We have 7 games on our platform. You can play for free and earn bitcoins each time you win, or you can bet bitcoin and win bigger. Free signup, and you can withdraw once you reach 10k points on the site (.01 btc).

https://www.gambit.com

Come check it out and let me know what you think. thanks!

I'm looking for any bitcoin whales who would be interested in competing in any of the games featured on https://www.gambit.com/

I'd like to run a few HIGH STAKES matches on the site and then write up some articles about bitcoin betting and how bitcoin facilitates online betting for skill-based games. Let me know if you'd be willing to compete or know anyone who would, for a minimum buy in of 5 btc. The goal is to get featured on tech crunch to further promote bitcoin and gambit.com as a new way for people to use and grow their btc instead of always playing the traditional casino style vs the house games.

I'm willing to do counter promotion and of course wave all fees on the site for these high stake matches.

Many of you have already heard of Bitnopoly.com. We have relaunched it along with 4 new games under a new name and domain:

https://www.gambit.com/

The idea is simple:

- Choose any of our skill-based games
- Choose your buy in amount and if you want to play with Fun Points or Bit Points
- Get paired up against other players and compete for the buy in pot..winner takes all.
- Fun Points are for fun (bragging rights & leaderboard) and Bit Points are for Bitcoin! 10,000 Bit Points = 1 BTC
- Deposit Bitcoin for Bit Points and cashout any time you want.

Registration is Free! We're still in beta, so please contact support with any bugs/questions. We will be doing a larger more widespread launch with ad campaign in a week or two when we're sure all the kinks have been worked out.

We are working on adding more games to the platform over the next few weeks. Please let me know if you have suggestions or games you'd like to see.

We also have an affiliate program for anyone who wants to help us advertise the site and receive bitcoin credit for any users that join the site through your referrals. You can read about the program here: https://www.gambit.com/affiliate

Is this illegal or gambling? No! All our games are skill based and therefore are not considered gambling (gaming) under US law.

Hope you enjoy the site!

We have been developing a bitcoin gaming site that is just about ready to launch. The last hurdle we've been struggling with is a reliable api that works 100% of the time. We were using blockchain.info's api, but have had issues with it in the past not sending callbacks to our site. We switched over to coinbase's api but that also seems to be somewhat untested and unreliable. Probably just need time to work out the kinks in their system, but we need a solution now.

We need the api for wallet creation with callbacks tied to that wallet address so that any btc payments sent to that new address will update the users balance on the site. So each new user gets their own unique wallet address generated and then they can send btc to that address and it will update their balance. We're just processing withdrawals manually right now, but eventually would need an api for sending btc from one wallet to another as well.

Should this just be done with the raw bitcoind api? https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/API_reference_(JSON-RPC)

Are there advantages to using 3rd party vs bitcoind? This api is mission critical for the website so we can't really afford it to work only 90% of the time.

Just finally launched our Bit Points (10,000 Bit Points = 1 BTC) version of our game today. Bitnopoly is an online multiplayer real time game where people can compete against one another for Fun Points (for fun) or for Bit Points (for Bitcoin!).

Buy in's range from 100 points to 10,000 points and players can be from 2 - 6 players.

If you signup soon, we'll start you with 25,000 Fun Points as well as 100 Bit Points.

We are already working on several more games and will be launching those over the next few weeks.

www.bitnopoly.com

Launching this site into beta today:

https://www.bitnopoly.com/

"Bitnopoly is an online real time board game for 2 or 4 players where the players buy in and then compete against one another to win all the points. Games can either be based on Fun Points (play for pride and fun) or Bit Points (play for Bitcoins)."

Please leave feedback here or on our site. thanks!
