So one of my company's products shows data based on market depth as opposed to market cap. I figured that this board is the perfect one to ask this question...



I'm used to always seeing Bitcoin at the top of charts based on its market cap, but this site shows Ethereum ranked at the top based on its Buy Pressure. Honestly, I'm embarrassed to ask my colleagues (I'm not in the same product department as the one this site is in), but can someone ELI5 (explain like I'm 5) in layman's terms why market depth is more important than market cap when it comes to trading?

Thanks in advance! I'm looking to get more knowledge in trading crypto, so you'll start to see a lot more of me on this board. Cheers!

(Let me know if I should move this to Beginners & Help)

[20 pages]

I'm always nervous when it comes to reporting threads that I find to be a megathread that no longer serves any purpose other than to pump post counts by shitposters. Some threads, you can instantly tell are BS, but then some just drag on and on. At what point should I consider it safe to report to a moderator to suggest its closure?

Can a mod enlighten me on what would be a proper suggestion? 10 pages of shit posts? 20 pages (this thread keeps getting replies, even though the OP's gripe about high tx fees is no longer valid)?

Thanks in advance!

[TRUSTED members of the forum only]

I have 0.0075BTC on LocalBitcoins.com leftover and would like to open up a trade and sell it to another user on LBC that has a verified account with prior trades. I'll sell it for +8% above preev.com. This is for anyone reading this, regardless of your trust rating here. If you don't have any trading activity on your LBC account, don't bother trying to trade.

This following paragraph is for TRUSTED members of the forum only: If you would like for me to sell this to you outside of LBC (directly for PayPal), I can withdraw the balance from my LBC account directly to your BTC address, but I will charge you $1.50 on top of a preev.com +2% rate.

Reply here if you can do this.


Edit: I've completed this trade with @-doubleU-. This is our second transaction together.

Hey all,

I'm looking for a Korean translator that can help me proofread a quick sheet to ensure that the translations that I have are correct. I'm looking for an authentic translator, not someone who knows how to use Google Translate.

I know it's not a huge job, but please have a reference link ready to previous jobs, or provide proof/verification that you are a Korean national.

You'll essentially be proofing some translations that I have for some terms/buttons for a website. This should take no more than a few minutes of time, and I'll throw a quick $10 worth of Bitcoin to whoever can do this.

Post here publicly to bid on this, and I will private message you on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Thanks much!

How do I win the challenge?
You simply have to have the most substantial posts (according to me) for the duration of the week. There will be a minimum of 7 posts required (this is just to gage and maintain daily activity; posts do not have to be made daily) for the week and no maximum. There is no post character minimum. Posts will be allowed in any topic on any board, as long as the topic and board are English-speaking. Off-topic? Sure. Gambling or Micro Earnings. Go ahead. Ivory Tower? Yup. Altcoin Discussion? Sure, why not? As long as your posts are knowledgeable or contributive to the given dialogue of the topic, you'll earn points in my book. I won't disclose my criteria, but I will commit to going through every participant's post history for the week to ensure that a winner is chosen fairly.

This challenge was inspired by a dialogue with forum member bill gator upon reading a post where he challenged a sig spammer to make quality posts, whereas he would pay that user $10 if he was able to stop shitposting (as can be seen here). Good luck, everyone, and thanks for doing your part to help make the forums a better place!


This specific thread is a continuation of the challenge from its original thread, which can be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3055616.0. It has been recreated in order to allow self-moderation, to be able to keep the thread easy-to-read and manageable.

I am looking to exchange some Bitcoin to PayPal. If you’re looking to buy some, you’re in the right place.

Important stipulations:

• Your PayPal account must be verified
• You must be ranked Member or higher, unless you have positive trust by a DT1 member, DT2 member, or a member in my personal trust network
• If you do not have positive trust, you must provide me with KYC verification with a form of identification with the same name of your PayPal account
• I will sell you BTC at preev.com rates +6%
• I’m only looking to do deals of at least $50USD (deals under $50 can be done at +15% rate)

I will use an escrow only if you request it, but please note that escrows for PayPal exchanges are redundant unless you’re willing to allow the BTC to be escrowed for 180 days until the risk of you disputing the transaction is clear.

Friends or Family payments are preferred. If you want to pay for Goods or Services, please provide me with your PayPal email address so that I can email you an invoice. I will require you to reply from that email address with verification before payment is made (unless you have positive trust feedback for prior trades).

You will send first, unless you’re a Hero/Legendary member with positive trust.

For the sake of transparency, all deals will be conducted in this thread. All private correspondence will be made public if we come to an agreement.

Newbies and brokers, don’t bother replying. Your posts will be deleted.

Thanks!

[Are these types of posts acceptable here?]

This user has gone too far. He has a problem with me, probably because of my Signatureless Challenge and the methods in which it awards deserving members of merits and my personal cash as a reward for posting great quality content on these forums.

I just try to ignore this user, but his posts are now becoming defamatory, libelous and slanderous. I am taking offense to his posts about me, which are unwarranted, and often out of thin air. It's not like he is posting on the tail end of my topics that I post in... Often times, I am only made aware of his posts about me from other users pointing it out. I don't cross paths with him often, but it seems as if he throws my name around quite constantly, which surprises me, as I could not care less about this user.

Until now.

It has reached the point where the things he says are becoming a problem and are meant purely to attack my character. They are never a given context to the topic he is posting in, and the unwarranted/unjustified posts are getting out of hand.

Furthermore, he is a merit source, which I consider to be an extension of the forums, which means he is a representative for the forums. He throws his weight around, regarding this matter, and publicly vocalizes his disdain for the current merit system and the ways that others reward merits for each other. This is fine, and all, but when it became insulting towards others is when it has become a problem.

I have tried to talk to this individual before. I have pleaded with him to stop talking about me. I have tried ignoring him. And this has been done to no avail. It's now getting worse. I don't know what to do in this situation, so I thought I'd post here and get the community's input. Am I just being overdramatic with this? I'd really like for this user to stop talking about me, but he doesn't seem to get it.

Are these types of posts acceptable here? Tell me that they are, and I'll drop the subject matter and simply ignore this user.

Here are some posts that he's written (please keep in mind that I have not provoked him to post any of these things; he's done it all out of the blue and on his own):

Here, he is joking about the merit system and about selling merits. And then he goes on to insult me; I have never posted in that thread or have anything to do with 1Katoshi.

What would you do then? I'm only interested in receiving money without doing the job. show me some respect I'm a merit source. you should call your new version 2 Katoshi. if you accept me as a team member, we could put some merits for sale. $100 per merit. buyers should also join BTCforJoe's challenge in order to receive merits. I need to get rid of BTCforJoe. there has been a few complaints about the soup in the public kitchen where he is helping 100 poor families whilst teaching us humility lessons by having his balls in our throats.  

(archive.is)


Here he is again insulting my charity work IRL. I run a soup kitchen and food bank where I feed underprivileged families, and here he is insulting the humanitarian work that I do and posting slanderously about me.

A fair warning for the OP. you should know if you are joining the challenge of the humble BTCforJoe. he used to put his balls in 100 underprivileged families mouths every morning before pouring them some soup, probably mixed with his cum. after writing some posts with good English and getting your merits. go the nearest public kitchen and open your mouth.

Next time, when you go to somebody's house, don't tell them what a shitty house they have. every new member posting a thread like this, it would make this forum a welcoming forum.

(archive.is)


Here he is calling my challenge a "merit farm". I put a lot of time and energy into the challenge, and I genuinely care about the overall health of these forums, as is evident by the money and time I put into this challenge on a weekly basis:

I wonder if alia is still around with his (what now? alia wasn't a girl? some girl did show her pussy though on camera) alts?
Sir Jet Cash the second, why don't you register another account and farm some merits in Joe's merit farming topic? not only it is allowed, you could get 73 merits for encouraging the merit farming.

Here he is altering a quote, and then further providing racist bigotry:

Thanks for the support, guys. now lets gang bang this beggar who'd got lucky to become a source.

Yup, gang bang me. apparently I'm all alone in this and staff made a mistake to make me a source. mexxer-2 where are you man? I need more undeserved merits, these niggers are gang banging me. <Insert lols>.

(archive.is)


Continuing to be a racist bigot (he hid this statement inside of a black glow wall at 2pt size):

Don DS, note that everything I've just said above, is an act, lies. we all know that I'm a lier, beggar who would do anything to earn money. I will merit 1 at a time and wont merit the family members in rows. like 1 merit to a random nigger, 1 merit to one of the gang members of the don DarkStar_leone.
Disclaimer: I need merits, where is my supervisor a.k.a mexxer-2 to give me merits in bulk? don't make me beg, I'm trying to build a character here. just a single lol.

I fear that if this is not dealt with now that it will only get worse.

At the very least, I would love for this user to get reprimanded, or at least have the above posts deleted. At the most, I'd love for a staff member to review his post history and ask themselves if they would really like for this individual to continue going around the forums as a representative of the forums as a merit source.

Thanks for hearing me out.

[Disclaimer:]

Disclaimer: Although not all newbie questions are based on fud, a majority of them are. I wanted to consolidate a lot of these questions into one [managed/self-moderated] thread to help you arm yourselves with answers to the most common questions that non-bitcoiners have regarding the cryptocurrency.

FUD | noun
Pronunciation: /fəd/

• Fear, uncertainty and doubt (often shortened to FUD) is a disinformation strategy used in sales, marketing, public relations, talk radio, politics, religious organizations, and propaganda. FUD is generally a strategy to influence perception by disseminating negative and dubious or false information and a manifestation of the appeal to fear.

Source: Wikipedia


Questions like "Is Bitcoin illegal?", "Is Bitcoin a scam or a Ponzi scheme?" and "Why is Bitcoin so expensive?" are common amongst people (usually friends, family, and coworkers) who have no experience with Bitcoin. These questions are usually negative in nature, mainly due to the position that mainstream media puts Bitcoin (and other alternative cryptocurrencies) into. Rather than do their own research about Bitcoin, these people tend to listen to the fud and deter themselves from learning more about it.

You'll often hear them say things like "I've heard about Bitcoin a long time ago, but I never got into it" or "Don't hackers use Bitcoin to demand ransoms?" or some other fud-fueled question.

Let's all do our parts to help educate them in simple terms. This topic will provide you answers with (hopefully) all of the questions that you receive by people who have no idea what it is. Here's how it will work:

• Answer a question (or as many as you like) from the list in the next post below. Give me your best answer, and if it helps the overall greater good of Bitcoin, your answer will be quoted into the answerⁱ in the Questions section, and you will be awarded with a meritⁱⁱ.
• Keep it simple. Try to keep the answers non-technical. People that don't care about Bitcoin tend not to want to because they don't understand it. Why? More than likely because it's all just "computer speak" to them.
• Ask a question. Do you commonly get asked the same thing (that isn't covered below)? Post your question, and whoever has the best answer (including yourself, if you choose to answer the question) will be awarded a merit, and their answer will be added to the listⁱⁱ.
• Do not shitpost. One-sentence answers (very few exceptions will be made) will be purged, as to help eliminate spam (and obvious sigspam). Yes, I will delete your post if it's obvious that you're shitposting solely to increase your post count for your signature campaign.

Remember, these questions are for complete Bitcoin newbies or people who have no idea what Bitcoin is. Please try and avoid submitting technical or more knowledgable questions like "What is the genesis block?" or "Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?". Let's focus on helping our friends and family get their feet wet first and then change their overall negative perspective about Bitcoin first.

ⁱWhether your answer gets added will be under my sole discretion. If you don't agree with me, start your own thread. | ⁱⁱMerits will be distributed until I run out of sMerit to award.

[I'm not looking to deal with account sellers for risk of purchasing carded gift codes.]

I'm looking to purchase iTunes gift cards in the amount of $50-150 in Bitcoin. Please let me know if you have any physical cards you want to sell. US store only. Message me the value of the card and your rate that you'd like to receive for them.

I'm not looking to deal with account sellers for risk of purchasing carded gift codes. These cards will be used by me personally and I have no intention of reselling them. I do not want to risk having my account jeopardized because you sold me codes that were purchased with a stolen credit card.

If you have any red trust regarding any form of sale or exchange on bitcointalk, move along.

[TAKE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN SELLING YOUR BITCOIN FOR PAYPAL. In fact, consider not selling your Bitcoin for PayPal at all.]

There is definitely a new wave of scammers and hackers on www.LocalBitcoins.com, and while I'm savvy when it comes to selling my Bitcoin, I am reluctantly (and shamefully) posting this to help others protect themselves from what I've gone through.

The last three transactions that I've conducted on LBC for digital trades (PayPal) have all had their payments reversed. The hackers/scammers are getting extremely creative, and starting to mimic the actions and character of authentic great traders...

With that said, if you don't feel like reading the rest of this post, take this away from it: TAKE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN SELLING YOUR BITCOIN FOR PAYPAL. In fact, consider not selling your Bitcoin for PayPal at all.

So with that, here is a quote of some advice I gave to another user; I thought it could help protect you. Yes, most of it is just common sense, but reminders could prove to be helpful. Don't let that trade request for someone buying bitcoin at 20% above market price cloud your judgment!

If you have any more questions outside of what I've posted below, feel free to post here or send me a private message.

I've had successful transfers, and I've had fraudulent transfers where the payments were reversed on my payment processing accounts.

Be extremely cautious when dealing with Bitcoin buyers via PayPal. I used to think that the payment was safe if sending as "Friends or Family" via PayPal, but I had a payment that was reversed because the PayPal account that was used to send me the funds for the Bitcoin I sold ended up being hacked. I actually had a conversation with the owner of the account (the hacker didn't have access to his mark's email address), and the dude got screwed for tens of thousands of dollars because of the PayPal hack.

LocalBitcoins.com is best for face-to-face meetups. Be EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS when dealing with digital transfers or bank wires. Make sure to ask for documentation for EVERYTHING, and look out for the following things (as a seller):

• 1. If the buyer is a new account, insist that they send you documentation to prove their identity and that they are who they say they are.
• 2. If the buyer's account is verified, look through their feedback history to ensure that there are not any large gaps in between trades. If there are gaps, this could indicate that the buyer's account was purchased from the original owner (who may not have a need for their account any longer)
• 3. Check their feedback history and sort it by "Negative" feedback. If any of the recent negative feedback pertains to a digital payment of any kind, avoid the trade at all costs, no matter how much above market price they are offering.
• 4. Ask the buyer to provide you with their PayPal address, and that you will send them an invoice to that address for the amount that you've entered the trade for.
• 5. Instruct the buyer to answer an email that you send to that address, or to send you an email from the email address of their PayPal account.
• 6. Google the email address and see what pops up. If anything looks fishy, then avoid the trade. (example: the last time I initiated a trade with someone on LBC, the email address showed results for a 79-year old farmer from Georgia. Chances are that 79-year old farmers don't know anything about cryptocurrency...

I know that this sounds tedious, but trust me; it will help protect you in the end. Even if your trade is only for $100 or less, it would suck to be charged back or have a payment reversed for that $100... Protect yourself when dealing with digital payment options on LocalBitcoins.com

Additional tips from other members:

NEVER RELEASE BITCOINS FROM THE ESCROW BEFORE YOU RECEIVE YOUR PAYMENT.

Some traders will have what looks like a solid reputation: thousand over trades, huge volumes and great feedback. And they use that to try and bully you into releasing escrow right after they mark payment as complete. Do not ever do this. They might say "lol I trade for 5 years and people have no problems to do this" or try and make it seem they don't need your business but don't ever release escrow until you confirm payment. I have run into a few such people, and at least once I've come back across the same name, accused of never sending payment.

Many of you are probably new to Bitcoin, and are asking yourself "will Bitcoin bounce back?" or "is the bitcoin craze over?". If this is you, I implore you to watch this 16-minute video. Don't trust the mainstream media. The video, by Bitcoin millionaire Christopher Greene, is a great perspective about the current "crash/bubble" (as the media calls it), and how it relates to recent financial incidents that were skewed by the media in the last decade or so.

Yes, the video is a shill for his services and seminars, but it has some great information that you should all listen to in order to understand what is happening with Bitcoin now.

BITCOIN CRASH EXPLAINED BY BITCOIN MILLIONAIRE

Now that you're armed with a few more facts, and some more information, please help do your part and stop spreading misinformation or contribute to mass hysteria by asking questions like "will the price of bitcoin rise again?" throughout the forums.

Watch the video, please, before commenting. Cheers.

Call me a shiller, but THIS is what SegWit-enabled transactions are all about.


Received Time: 2018-01-21 05:19:55
Included In Blocks: 505296 (2018-01-21 05:23:32 + 4 minutes)

Transaction ID: https://blockchain.info/tx/e00079e38f8b038ac7d4a8afc4c2d01a7e440f332f1a529f001ba8ffd3bcd485


I decided to see how functional a SegWit enabled transaction was in a practical sense. I've made several transactions in the past at 125-150sat/bytes, which was always well under the recommended fees via https://bitcoinfees.earn.com, which provides an average fee based on the last 3 hours of transactional data, which cross-referenced to transactions that are currently in the mempool. Those previous transactions usually had it's first confirmation within the next block.

This time, I really wanted to try something new, so I decided to send myself a couple hundred bucks worth of Bitcoin with a super low fee of 64sat/byte. Unheard of, and risky, right? I expected that I would have to pay to accelerate my transaction in a couple days. I copied the transaction ID, closed my wallet, and pinned the tab of my transaction to my browser window so I could check on it periodically.

In no way, shape or form did I expect what happened next. My transaction was included in the next block. My low-fee transaction received its first confirmation within minutes.  

So with that, I encourage you to start adopting SegWit-enabled wallets. Start SegWit transactions. Your transaction does not have to be from a SegWit-enabled address to another one to be a SegWit transaction. As long as the sender has a SegWit-enabled address, the transaction is valid as a SW one. But please note that a legacy address sending to a SW-enabled one does not qualify the transaction as a SW one.

So please, start using a SegWit enabled wallet so you can help contribute to providing a solution to the current scaling issues. I'm not recommending that you use fees as low as I did, but I will confirm that EVERY single one of my transactions that I've used using my SW wallet has been less than half of the recommended fees, and every single one of those transactions have confirmed within the first couple of blocks.

I use GreenAddress as my SegWit-enabled wallet, so start there if you're new to SW: https://greenaddress.it/en/

I encourage you to share your experiences and technical knowledge (in layman's terms, please) in this thread if you truly want to take part in increasing user adoption of SegWit. Let's at least try to get members of this forum to make the switch!

Note: You can call it censorship, but I'll call it "pruning". This topic is self-moderated, as I am trying to do my part in providing a clutter, spam, and shitpost-free discussion regarding SegWit.
Sig spammers and shitposters, don't waste your time posting here. Your post will be deleted and you won't receive "credit" for it. GO AWAY.

Re-opened (April 10, 2018)

Re-opened. I need a VCC with $5 on it. I’m willing to pay up to $8 in BTC/ETH. If you’re a Newbie or Jr. Member, you will get paid after the vcc is used. Otherwise, I’ll pay first to anyone with positive trust. Post here or PM me if you can make this happen. Thanks!

Previous Requests (Completed):

First of all, damn you, Wave Crest Holdings and Visa...

This is my first time buying a VCC, but need to make a micropayment for a service online that only accepts credit cards. Only need $5 on the card. I can pay with Bitcoin Cash to avoid the high fees of Bitcoin.

No newbies; no negative trust. PM me or post here to make this deal; thanks!

Edit: Got the deal done, thanks all!

JPMorgan Chase Chairman & CEO Jamie Dimon said Tuesday he regrets past comments in which he called Bitcoin a fraud at a September banking conference.

At the time, Dimon said that he would fire JPMorgan traders if they traded in the crypto-currency.

The blockchain is real. You can have crypto yen and dollars and stuff like that. ICO's you have to look at individually”, Dimon said in an exclusive interview with FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo. “The bitcoin to me was always what the governments are gonna feel about bitcoin as it gets really big, and I just have a different opinion than other people. I'm not interested that much in the subject at all.

Source: http://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/2018/01/09/exclusive-jpmorgan-chase-chairman-ceo-jamie-dimon-regrets-saying-bitcoin-is-fraud-but-still-isnt-interested-in-it.html


The article itself sucks, but the video is worth a watch.

In my opinion, Dimon, for being a financial 'expert', is quite ignorant. He's expressed much disinterest in Bitcoin, saying that he doesn't care about it at all, but I think it's that very ignorance that led him to believe that Bitcoin was a fraud and that it would fail. He is now suffering from "foot in mouth" disease, and I'm sure there's more to come in the near future.

I'm looking to buy 20 Ripple so I can activate my Ripple account. Is anyone willing to sell me 20 XRP at CoinGecko rates for the equivalent value for preev.com rates for BTC? I'm willing to send first if you have positive default trust or can reference a couple of successful exchanges on the forums.

Let me know if this is something you can do. Thanks!

Just kidding; closed.

Starting yesterday, I've been receiving emails from coinbase to verify my account, and they are coming in by the minute. I have 100+ emails with the same information, and they just won't stop coming in.



Even as I type this, I'm getting constant notifications from my mail app that I'm receiving new emails.



Is anyone else experiencing this?

Coinbase, if you're reading this, what the hell is going on over there?!

I'm looking to sell 0.01BTC for $26.50 to a verified PayPal user for a Goods & Services transaction, or $25 if you send as Friends or Family.

I won't send first, unless you have positive trust for previous BTC transactions.

Let's make a deal!

In his second thread, which I vouched for his products, I believe that he is reselling ebooks that were purchased at or stolen from HackForums.net. He claims that (at least) two of them were purchased with reselling rights, but hasn't proven any validity or proof of those claims, other than a screenshot of the forums he allegedly purchased them from.

Hello guys, let me tell you more about me. I'm 19 year old student. I've been making online income since the age of 12 (Sadly during these days my parents didn't believe me I could make money of the internet on that young age and declined to provide me debit card so I can withdraw my money- during that time there was no bitcoin and I was using paypal mostly). What I had to do during that reason was spending money on games - really useless !

So why I am making this service?
For that period of time I have found many different ways on how to do money online. The best part is that since I didn't have the opportunity to invest I learned how to gain money without investing. I will be teaching you very different methods on how to make a good online income. Every method was used by me in the past ( and I am still using some of them). So I am very experienced with them.

What will You learn ?
-Over 10 Money-Making Methods
-Top Marketplaces to make income
-Mindset that will help you in life generally (not only in internet), you will see how to take every opportunity
-Easy To Use
-Personal Help From A Real Money Mentor

Hello guys ! I am 21 year old student. I have been a football fan since 2 years old because my father was a football fanatic. I started to bet 3 years ago and I managed to do really well. I keep 75-80% win ratio in the long turn. I came here to offer my Premium Tips. There are 3 kind of packages:

You can get my VIP Tip For the day from >>https://removed <<

What is this all about?
Short answer? Making money.

Long answer?
Due to my huge experience with CS:GO and LoL betting, I am able to consistantly make money off betting sites by either beating their closing lines or simply having enough information to place smart bets that will profit in the long run. I do this by having both exclusive insider information and the needed intuition gathered over the years. Detailed spreadsheets can be found below.

What am I offering?
Bets for you to place. I am simply doing all the needed research and give you the needed information to place a bet. We are using a dynamic bet sizing method so you can NEVER lose all your money.
Here is an example what a bet could look like: 3% GODSENT -2.5 > mouz (map 2) @ 1.800
That means you place 3% of your bankroll on this bet. -> If you have €100, you place €3. Example: https://i.imgur.com/FhI3n4A.png

How do you get your information on which bets to place?
I am using a WhatsApp or Telegram group to distribute that info straight to your phone. Additionally, we have a Discord server and separate WhatsApp group to chat and discuss.

What do you have to do?
Register at a betting site and make a few clicks. That's it.
The following site are recommended:
Pinnaclesports
Nitrogensports (send me a PM to get my promotion link and cashback on every placed bet)
Fanobet (send me a PM to get my promotion link and cashback on every placed bet)
Betway

Do I have proof?
Sure thing. I'm not talking bullshit.

What is up guys. Suddenly I've managed to find a gambling exploit in the local bookie I go nearly everyday. What it's about:
There are virtual football matches with random teams. The game length of the games is 2 minutes and there are games every 5 minutes. So basically there is an option for you to bet on which team to score first either the home team or the away team. Odds vary from 1.56 to 2.30. After some days of following it I've noticed that the maximum amount of times the one side scores first is no more than 2-3 games. Yeah that's right. So what I did was waiting for 2 matches straight that the home team scored first. So on the 3rd game I've bet on the away team and they've scored. The next day I did the same thing but what happened was that the 3rd game the first goal was scored again by the home team so I tripled my stake and bet on 4th game for the away team to win.
So apparently since that day every time I go to try this strategy it's working.
I don't bother staying much in the bookie since otherwise I may end up spending my money by betting on other stuff. But what I do say is I found a profitable exploit and I may help people of you that want to get some money.
I think of making a video to proof it for you guys soon. Let me hear your suggestions if there are going to be people that would be interested in such a project

Hey, I recently had the idea to start something that I've never did and it's unlocking i phones. For the purpose I would need $12 500 for the gear + $500 for the delivery/setup. The reason why I want it is because there is a big demand for this here in my country. I can get paid to unlock the phones + buy locked phones on a really cheap prices, unlock them & sell them for more. I plan on doing it on the first stage only from home (I think I will advertise a bit here) and if everything run smooth I will be opening a store.

I currently have $10 000 and would need $3000 more. Is there anyone that may be able to help ?

Hey. So my town is 40 minute away from the border with Greece. I was in a town with many hotels which is no more than 15-20 minute away from the border. I went to eat in one of the hotels and I had a discussion with one of the hotel owners. He told me they got lack of firms that want to do the laundry. He told me they are paying 4€/kg of laundry. Here in my town laundry costs 0.70 BGN which is 0.35€. I plan renting few buses and making few courses every week to take laundries. I would need some investment to start with. If anyone would be able to help I would be really thankful. I would offer also a reasonable % too
