Devans sells the code of old bustabit v1 which had the same design but with Bustabit right now, Devans just took the UI and made it look cleaner.
So did Ethercrash, they took the old bustabit look and made it look cleaner, other sites like bitcrash.us ( not recommended playing there ) has the actual exact same design that was use for Bustabit back in the days.

Thank you for the clarification.

I was wondering why there were so many clones around but it all makes sense now.
10522  Economy / Gambling / Re: bustadice – Next Generation Dice on: May 01, 2019, 12:07:03 AM
if you take a look at this https://www.bustabit.com/license.txt
you will know which site that buy the license from bustabit, and for ethercrash case it seems they buy from bustabit.

Thank you for the link. I forgot about that URL. Yes it seems ethercrash did buy a licence.

What is confusing though is how the Bustabit and Ethercrash websites seem almost identical down to the layout and even chat plugin. I thought licences were regarding the crash software only so how did ethercrash end up getting a clone of Bustabit?

10523  Economy / Gambling / Re: bustadice – Next Generation Dice on: April 30, 2019, 10:30:02 PM
I just checked "ethercrash.io"

Is it also owned/operated by the Bustabit/Bustadice team?

Ethercrash is owned by Perch and M1chael, not Devans.


Thank you for the reply. I have never heard of those two users before.

Ethercrash looks a complete clone of Bustabit. Did they create their site with the intention of making it look like Bustabit?

And did they pay the licence fee to use the crash software?

The first page of this scam thread is full of users that had their account created on 27th July 2018 and seem to post in the same threads.

Subsequent pages in this thread pulled up other users that had their accounts created on 27th July 2018 too:

Freyanalie, Ssidellari, Wilandiy, Maddeustus, Castockto, Darienciss, Gabyne, Endaleyno, Elenoam, Wardanex, Viahanth, Quentineron, Heristacyaa

I have left appropriate negative feedback and negative trust for them all

Yup, they're obviously using a bumping service to promote this scam - will do the same.

Thank you IconFirm Smiley

Regarding your comments in the other thread about "p2pb2b.io", they operate an identical site to Coinsbit (which is listed in my scam alert signature).

They are both operated by the same people as this post explains:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4971628.msg48239174#msg48239174


You're welcome & thanks for that link - I always knew that their volume was totally fake, but was unaware of them being a clone of coinsbit. Guess I'll have to add them to my ever growing list of scam exchanges in my sig - I'm running out of space!

I was late to read the scam accusations thread but nevertheless I can see that this project is running shady business here.
But livecoin exchange, which they are also listed has current sig campaign going on.
I don't think they know the whole background of this coin and consider as scam exchange as well.

I cannot say Livecoin are a scam. All I know about them is that they are a small exchange and not much else.

Coinsbit/P2PB2B on the other hand are scammers as they are mentioned in the scam alert in my signature.

Bustadice is my trusted gambling sites and one of the popular gambling sites that has been existing for long.  I have been gambling with them.  I like the withdrawal system and process and I wish other gambling sites really emulate them.
The withdrawal process is so fast, you don't have to wait for an amount of confirmation.

And the cheapest fee that I've ever paid to withdraw was around 1.68 bits which is pretty low.

It would be very difficult to find many gaming sites out there that have a better reputation.

In the end everybody should do their own research before participating. There are too many sites out there and not all are equal but with its reputation and clean simple layout you cannot look beyond a handful of websites including Bustabit/Bustadice.

I just checked "ethercrash.io"

Is it also owned/operated by the Bustabit/Bustadice team?

My reply to this post was deleted in the censored Minex scam thread so am posting it here:



Oh my God. Price now 0.16$ Shocked Something went wrong.
I mined this coin in 2017 and sold for $20.

They are not an authorised VISA or Mastercard program partner and those bridges you mention are in breach of VISA and Mastercard rules that is why the Novarise scam never happened and that is why the Upaycard scam was stopped.

If they manage to find another "bridge" then those cards will also be cancelled by VISA and Mastercard too.

All these scammers at Minex had to do was go for a full application to become an accredited partner via the official VISA and Mastercard programs when Minexcoin was valued at $169+ million and was trading at $56+ each. Instead they got greedy, started siphoning-off funds and let this project fall in to a state of severe unrepairable decline.

I used to have electrum wallet, but since previous attacks on it despite their efforts to update their security, it seems that it's really not ideal to use electrum.
Stay safe, better to secure your bitcoin on hardware wallet than online wallets.

What were the previous issues with Electrum and when did they occur?

The faster this shit goes to 0, the better off crypto sphere will be. One scam less for people to fall for.



Well it is certainly heading that way. Soon it will be off the crypto-sphere but the scammers behind it will be back again with more lies and more scams...






10529  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Jewelpay - Fake Team / Plagiarism on: April 30, 2019, 03:00:21 PM
Thanks for posting this. So livecoin and p2pb2b are scam exchanges? It's listed on both.

In my view, yes.

Not really looked in to Livecoin before, will try to investigate in the coming days.

As for P2PB2B, they operated and owned by Coinsbit.

Coinsbit and P2PB2B are operating identical websites.

Coinsbit is listed in my scam alert signature: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4971628.msg48239174#msg48239174

It is heading for the $0.10 mark much sooner than expected.

The Minexcoin scam is nearly dead, the scammers have siphoned-off funds and left this project for dead.

10533  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XRP] Ripple Speculation on: April 30, 2019, 12:10:08 PM
Actually, BTC is one of more centralized ones, both by pools (3 or 4 big ones can do 51% attack), and by country (China alone can attack it)

Agreed! Bitcoin mining is becoming centralized. However, this does not change that Ripple is a centralized platform. It will only stop being centralized if Ripple finds a decentralized consensus process on adding nodes in the Trusted Nodes List.

For the hundredth time, the nodes that take care of the consensus are decentralized and open to anyone !!!

Just have a look at the list of validators here: https://xrpcharts.ripple.com/#/validators
Out of the total 117 nodes running on the main net, only 7 are controlled from ripple.com ! (yes I actually counted all the nodes one by one to make sure since CTRL+F was returning a little bigger number)
This is just 5% of the network controlled by Ripple!! 5%


You can read an interesting article and find some graphs about it here: https://ambcrypto.com/uae-is-top-destination-for-token-sales-in-2019-iota-pumps-by-17-as-jaguar-integrates-it-for-data-sharing-access-and-more


As for the actual coins and who owns them, those are locked behind a smart contract which releases the coins in small amounts every month.
Personally I check the "XRP Supply" section found on the bottom of this page: https://ripple.com/xrp/market-performance/, it's updated every month and if you write down these numbers every month  (like I've been doing) you'll get a nice picture of how those coins are handled.

For anyone interested, here is a 1 year comparison of the XRP,
25/03/2018
TOTAL XRP HELD BY RIPPLE 7,097,884,501
TOTAL XRP DISTRIBUTED 39,094,520,623
TOTAL XRP PLACED IN ESCROW 53,800,000,024

14/04/2019
TOTAL XRP HELD BY RIPPLE 6,486,676,982
TOTAL XRP DISTRIBUTED 42,004,966,728
TOTAL XRP PLACED IN ESCROW 51,500,000,013


The above numbers show us that after 1 year...
  • 2300 million XRP have left the escrow and 2299m of them are in circulation right now, the 1m XRP difference are burnt coins.
  • From 15% of the coins held by XRP in the end of March 2018, we're now at 13%.
  • Considering the XRP held by Ripple and the XRP distributed as "coins in circulation" and the XRP placed in escrow as "coins to be mined", XRP had a good yearly inflation rate of 4.74% (for comparison, BTC had about 4.5% and ETH about 7%).

Ofcourse Ripple stills has the potential to earn 51billion of XRP , but this will take about 50 more years.
Ripple promises that they sell their coins on OTC deals which shouldn't affect the trading price in exchanges, but even if they were to dump 100% of the coins they earn to the market, the impact would still be similar to BTC miners dumping 100% of their coins or Ethereum miners dumping 70% of their mined coins.


I am holding some XRP, it was a great investment that brought me great returns.

There are several people posting negative things about Ripple and XRP with allegations about it not being "real" crypto but I disagree. XRP and Ripple are fantastic.

I see only success for XRP and Ripple.

This is kinda impossible for ETH,
1) 1000$ was a FOMO bouble.


Now you might have a point there but during that period crypto were doing very well all-round, the market was very high.

Maybe FOMO did play a part in ETH hitting $1000 but does that also apply to all other crypto during that period too such as Bitcoin, XRP and others?

It sure does apply to all, especially in startups/ICOs it was a crazy period of nothing but FOMO. At least ETH had some fundamentals and it now has stronger fundamentals, it wasn't 100% bubble... it just went too high too fast.


Yes I agree with you. It was not 100% a bubble but the price escalated and rose too fast.

What do you think the near-future holds for ETH now?

Thanks for this thread I earned some profit from minex and minex park early in 2018 and sold all of it.
I was planning to buy some and park it for a long time to gain more coins but this thread change my mind.
I really like their project and thought that it was great and legit .

Thankfully you will not be investing in this trash scam or in their trash sister company scam called Republia

They have scammed many people. They have tried to scam even Mastercard by using Upaycard as an unofficial third-party.

Stay away from Minex and Republia

Who is your project aimed at? On business representatives or on individuals?
Directly on all faces


Speaking of faces, you have been exposed as a bunch of scammers that use the faces of other people to pass off as your own because you want your real identity to remain anonymous:

it is useful when you have doing it properly for long-term so the whole thing people have the mindset like if we can make a make a investment now we can be profitable in the future that is the main thing going on ripple also.

XRP is doing well as a long term stable investment. That cannot be denied.
10540  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: [scam] BetKing.io broke ICO promise and dropped token value 99% on: April 30, 2019, 11:07:58 AM
Apparently Dean is now telling people that it is a misconception that he promised the terms of buy-backs in the first place. He seems to be claiming people who used them as a USD hedge were misunderstanding the terms of ICO.
I've seen so many scammers try to change their story to convince new victims they're just misunderstood so they can scam more people.

That is a regular usual pattern 99% of these scammers apply. They alter and they change the narrative of various promises to suit their present needs. I am not surprised in the least about this altering facts and selective amnesia from serial-scammer Dean Nolan.

I was calling out serial-scammer Dean Nolan for well over a year but with hardly anybody accepting it. Thankfully occasional posts were made by users from back in the day when serial-scammer Dean Nolan was using pocketrocketcasino and during the early days of betking to scam affiliates

Then everything changed when I made that fateful post in the Bustabit thread asking whether serial-scammer Dean Nolan scammed Bustabit by not paying 2 BTC licence fee: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2897545.msg47430632#msg47430632

This was the post which drew a response from the Bustabit owner followed by a response from serial-scammer Dean Nolan and the whole things generated pace as the betking scam unravelled.

Add to that this fantastic scam thread started by LoyceV and it effectively left betking with zero credibility and zero future.

Serial-scammer Dean Nolan will try to utilise betking for maximum personal profit as much as he can before calling it a day and trying his luck at scamming the next batch of his ICO investors with the bitsafe exchange scam, maybe that is why he is altering the facts and presenting a new narrative in order to dupe gullible investors and newbies
