1  Other / Serious discussion / How 'Provably Fair' Games Could Conceivably Be Manipulate on: August 28, 2023, 04:36:13 AM
Greetings, Bitcointalk members especially to gamblers!

Let's dive into a topic that might challenge our faith in the integrity of gaming systems: the ways in which a "provably fair" game could potentially be manipulated. While the term "provably fair" is meant to assure transparency and randomness, there are still conceivable scenarios where even these systems might be prone to cheating or rigging.

1. Seed Generation Exploits:
In a "provably fair" system, the game's outcome often hinges on the generation of a random seed. However, if there's a flaw in the seed generation process, malicious actors could exploit it to predict or control outcomes. Any vulnerability in this critical step could open the door to manipulation.

2. Predictable Patterns in Pseudo-Randomness:
Pseudo-randomness, though it appears random, can sometimes exhibit patterns. If a player or attacker is able to discern these patterns, they might anticipate future outcomes and gain an unfair advantage. This situation is particularly risky if the pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) isn't well-designed.

3. Exploiting External Factors:
Sometimes, external factors like network lag, hardware glitches, or server vulnerabilities can inadvertently influence game outcomes. If a player discovers a way to exploit these factors, they could manipulate results to their favor, creating an uneven playing field.

4. Insider Collusion:
The trust placed in "provably fair" games can lead to complacency among players and developers. If someone with access to the game's code or systems colludes with players, they could manipulate outcomes without raising suspicion. Insider collusion, while rare, is a concern.

5. Smart Bots and Automation:
Automated bots that can play the game at superhuman speeds might identify patterns or exploit weaknesses much faster than human players. If these bots are undetectable, they could effectively rig outcomes, especially in games that involve speed and timing.

6. Bias in Game Design:
Even with provably fair algorithms, the game design itself can introduce bias. If certain features or mechanics inadvertently favor a specific outcome, players who understand these biases could exploit them for their gain.

7. Time-Shifted Attack:
In some cases, attackers might not manipulate the game in real-time but could record sequences of outcomes and analyze them offline. This retrospective analysis could help them identify patterns and predict future results.

Conclusion
While "provably fair" systems aim to uphold transparency, the potential for manipulation reminds us that no system is entirely foolproof. Vigilance and continuous improvement in algorithm design, seed generation, and game mechanics are necessary to counteract these threats. As a community of gamers, it's essential that we foster conversations about these vulnerabilities to ensure that our beloved games remain as fair as possible.

What are your thoughts? Do you believe these vulnerabilities could undermine the integrity of "provably fair" games, or are you confident in their resilience? Let's engage in a respectful discussion and share our insights on this complex issue.
2  Other / Off-topic / Exploring the Possibilities: AI's Potential Impact on Humanity on: August 28, 2023, 04:18:46 AM
Hello everyone,

In recent years, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has raised intriguing questions about its potential impact on humanity. While the idea of AI taking over may seem like the stuff of science fiction, it's important to engage in thoughtful discussions about the possibilities, risks, and safeguards that can shape our AI-driven future.

1. Advancements and Possibilities:
The capabilities of AI have expanded exponentially, from mastering complex games to aiding in medical diagnoses. As AI systems become more sophisticated, there's speculation about their potential to outperform humans in a wide range of tasks. But what could this mean for our society and way of life?

2. Ethical Considerations:
One of the crucial aspects of AI's role in society is the ethical framework guiding its development and deployment. How can we ensure that AI remains aligned with human values and respects our moral compass? Striking the balance between autonomy and control is key to preventing unintended consequences.

3. The Role of Superintelligence:
Discussions around AI often touch on the concept of superintelligence – an AI system that surpasses human intelligence. While this remains a hypothetical scenario, the implications of superintelligence becoming a reality are profound. How do we ensure that an entity more intelligent than us has our best interests at heart?

4. Safeguards and Regulation:
Addressing the potential risks associated with AI requires a multi-faceted approach. Establishing regulations, protocols, and ethical guidelines can help mitigate the risks of unchecked AI development. Collaboration between policymakers, scientists, and ethicists is essential to ensure responsible AI growth.

5. Human-AI Collaboration:
Rather than an "AI takeover," envisioning a future of human-AI collaboration is a more constructive perspective. AI has the potential to enhance our capabilities, assist in decision-making, and contribute to solving complex challenges. How can we harness AI's potential while retaining our autonomy and control?

6. Transparency and Accountability:
As AI systems become increasingly integrated into our lives, ensuring transparency and accountability becomes paramount. Understanding how AI arrives at decisions, addressing biases, and enabling humans to comprehend and override AI choices are crucial steps in building trust.

In closing, the notion of AI taking over humanity sparks both curiosity and concern. While doomsday scenarios might grab headlines, it's important to approach this topic with a balanced view, considering the potential benefits as well as the challenges. By fostering open dialogues, supporting responsible AI research, and collectively shaping AI's trajectory, we can navigate this evolving landscape and ensure a future where AI complements, rather than supersedes, our human experience.

What are your thoughts on this matter? Let's engage in a respectful discussion about the role of AI in our lives and how we can shape its influence on humanity.

Looking forward to hearing your insights!

Bitcoin Forum is the best forum for Cryptocurrency where everyone can discuss Crypto but, since they have been running this forum for a long time, I think they should launch their own Coin because it seems that Crypto is slowly becoming popular, so they should. A coin needs to be launched so I will ask the Moderator/Admin of this forum to think about it. (Just My Opinion)

        11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Crypto Price Up & Down is normal be patient All Crypto Holders on: June 04, 2022, 06:38:29 AM
        Ups and downs of crypto price are the crypto way. Happens all the time. Happens to both old and new crypto. Crypto is for holding for a long time for maximum profit.

        Recalling History :

        • Bitcoin went from $19,000 to $3,000 Then to #60,000
        • Ethereum went from $1,000 to $80 Then to $4,000
        • Dogecoin went from $0.001 $0.00008 Then to $0.1
        • BNB went from $400 to $60 Then to $500

        And we also know, that Shiba INU from worth $1000  down to $2 for almost a year. Later Shiba INU worth $1,000 became $10m!


        How do you think people got rich in crypto and hold Crypto worth tens of thousands and millions?

        The answer is that they buy when the price is very low like in the current market. Now is the time to buy. That being said, Bitcoin before went from $19k down to $ 3k and smart people bought Bitcoin at $ 3k! The same thing is happening again. Crypto price is all about up and down. The rich buy crypto when the price is very low like now, keep it and the price increase 10 times + from $1 to $100+ then they sell with huge profit. So make sure to buy Crypto now and wait.



        12  Economy / Trading Discussion / BASIC MARKET STRUCTURE on: April 26, 2022, 05:11:06 AM

        BASIC MARKET STRUCTURE

        Bullish Market Structure (Up Trend)-> higher highs and higher lows

        Bearish Market Structure (Down Trend) -> lower highs and lower lows

        Higher lows and lower highs are not confirmed until a Break of Structure (BOS)

        Swing High -> highest point that caused the swing low

        Swing Low -> lowest point that caused the swing high

        BOS -> break of (swing) structure

        After a BOS, expect a pullback on that timeframe

        Internal Structure -> all structure between the swing high and low




        STRONG & WEAK HIGHS/LOWS

        Strong Lows -> lows that cause highs (HLs)

        Strong Highs -> highs that cause lows (LHs)

        Usually form with a sharp move away + larger candles

        Big money has an interest in protecting those strong swing points

        Goal = catch HLs and LH's (continuations) and target HH's and LL's (weak structure)


        TREND CHANGE

        A trend change is when the expectational order flow (EOF) fails.

        In a bullish trend, the expectation is that price will continue to make higher highs and higher lows.

        In a bearish trend, the expectation is that price will continue to make lower highs and lower lows.

        Bullish trend change -> is confirmed once price breaks a swing lower high to form a swing higher high (bullish BOS).

        Bearish trend change -> is confirmed once price breaks a swing higher low to form a swing lower low (bearish BOS).




        CHoCH - CHANGE OF CHARACTER

        Internal Structure -> all structure between the swing high and low

        Change of Character (CHoCH) -> internal bullish structure changing to bearish structure (vice versa)

        Bearish CHoCH -> the first internal lower low after a series of internal higher lows

        Bullish CHoCH -> the first internal higher high after a series of internal lower highs


        CHoCH - CONTINUATION

        CHoCH is a useful signal that:

        a Swing run (pro-trend) may be finished and a Swing pullback (counter-trend) may be starting.
        a Swing pullback (counter-trend) may be finished and the next Swing run (pro-trend) is about to start.
        In simpler terms, CHoCH can signal when the Swing turning points may be occurring. 

        But CHoCH can give false signals, it doesn't guarantee that a Swing HL or LH has formed (pullback may not be finished).

        Remember: a Swing HL or LH is only confirmed once there is a BOS.


        CHoCH - REVERSAL

        A Swing trend change is only confirmed once a Swing higher low or a lower high is taken out (BOS).

        But CHoCH can provide an early signal that a Swing reversal may be about to occur before the BOS.

        However, this can also provide false signals as the strong swing high/low can hold and the Swing trend can continue.

        Remember we 'blindly' expect the trend to continue until it doesn't (we always assume strong swing highs/lows will hold and not be broken... until they are).



        STRUCTURE MAPPING TYPES

        TYPE 1 (Conservative)

        Mapping -> Wicks

        BOS -> Bodies

        I always use this for BOS (swing breaks of structure).

         

        TYPE 2 (Aggressive)

        Mapping -> Wicks

        BOS -> Wicks

        I always use this for CHoCH (breaks of internal structure).

         

        Type 2 is more aggressive because a wick break can just be a liquidity grab.

        A candle closure above/below a structural level is a lot more significant.



         Internal CHoCH used with Type 2 mapping is very likely a Swing BOS with Type 1 on a lower timeframe [LTF].

        (A wick break on the 4H is probably a candle closure on the M15).

        It's aggressive, but that's what we are reading on the price action on the current timeframe, without looking down on a LTF.
        13  Economy / Trading Discussion / Bitcoin Currently Above Support of Ascending Triangle on: March 13, 2022, 11:49:49 AM
        It is currently above  support of ascending triangle, where EMA'S are acting as a resistance,. Breakdown of the ascending tringle is a bearish sign for the market, while a bounce from here and breakout of ascending triangle is a bullish sign.
