Never tried moneypot as that one is the confusing one to me.
dice games are easy. You pick your odds of rolling winning number, you press roll , then you either win or lose. That is simplest thing in the world to understand. Moneypot on the other hand looks to be too confusing for the novice person to this new bitcoin gambling market.

MP is pretty easy. To break it down:

Think of MP as being like ALL the casinos in Vegas under one umbrella. Instead of investing in MGM, you invest in MP. Now you've invested into MGM, New York, etc. all at once, all of which are using a central bankroll. So instead of investing in one site, you're investing in many.

Anyone using a Stakebox for Hyper? I'm curious as I unlocked it for staking but I can't see if it is actually staking (though it notes it is unlocked for staking.)
It also states "Unavailable Due To Staking: 0 HYPER".

Thx in advance,
Its about sharing

You can verify it's staking by plugging it into a TV with a mouse and looking at the client itself. Past that, just wait it out. Amount "unavailable" due to staking only happens when you have a staked block and are waiting for it to mature.

Now that the coin is available for withdrawal to wallets and is on an exchange, when is the first dividend planned and when are users able to input their wallet addresses for GBT/BTC?

Just to add on to the EV discussion, technically, it could be as low as 0.8 to become +EV (since HE can be lowered to 0.8%).

Awesome promo and very unique idea, Yahoo!

Posting to say I deal with Yahoo on a semi-regular basis and will personally vouch for him in this promo, Smiley.

As someone that's not nearly as involved in the community here as I once was, but is still arguably one of the bigger holders), I both agree with having a way for community-based voting and would take part in it. I do follow the thread/progress still, though I don't always post.

I'll post a quick review here based on his "fixed" article in the OP. Overall, it's not too bad (when factoring in his low prices). If you're going for something really important (entrance essay, extremely important academic essay, book you plan to publish, etc.), I'd refrain. Things like this can be killer:

"...suggesting that femaleness is captivating"

That's so improper, it's painful to read. The correct word usage here is "femininity." There were countless other issues as well, but he did better than most "editors" around here, so I'll give him an 8.5/10.

I do agree with you in the sense that this is totally improper. The fact is that there were a ton of 'made up' words and vocabulary in this paper. It's not the most mainstream paper that I've edited but I didn't have any of my own 'normal' papers left that are written in plain English. I'm done with school!! Never again!! Yahoo!! *delete* *delete* *delete*. In a few minutes I got rid of years of work. In hindsight I should have kept the papers I wrote.

What it comes down to is the fact that I don't change anything on your paper. I say: femaleness Should be femininity, womanliness, ladylike etc. From there it's up to the writer if they actually change it. The fact is that femaleness is the word they wanted to use because I was a word the professor taught in the class.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/femaleness

Just an FYI: I added this paper because they actually received a 96% on it which was completely unheard of and the professor was so impressed with the paper she gave out th highest mark she had ever given a student. They went to one of the top 3 Universities in Canada so this isn't just some community college either. There are lots of examples in this paper that aren't considered proper English but the fact is that they aren't mistakes and they aren't "...so improper...". If this was a non-fiction novel then you're absolutely right. As a Gender Studies paper this is the kind of writing that's needed to get top marks.

Here's another example of what I would assume you consider improper:

"Characters who exhibit autonomous a self-governing behaviours are considered successfully 'doing masculinity'.

'Doing masculinity' doesn't make any sense to anyone. It was written in a Gender Studies textbook and the words were taken verbatim. If I were to write 'Bitcoin' and 'ASIC' in a paper in 2012 then those words would also be improper. It's all about who you're writing the paper for.

To summarize, I agree with you that it's improper and cringe-worthy for most people to read. If this academic paper was for the general public, then yes we would have had to make changes. This was a paper that literally took weeks to research, write and edit. (Note: I did NOT write it). I'm great at editing but not as great at taking a lot of ideas and placing them into 'the perfect paper'.

Thank you very much for your review. I appreciate t 8.5 out of 10 but I really did want to explain that in depth. Don't worry, things like that didn't go unnoticed. In the end it's about what the client wants. I can't force anyone to take my recommendations. Feel free to ask anyone who has used my service about their experience. It's a discussion, not just me making changes. Bandot has used my services 3x so far and there have been many times where he's decided to stick to his original wording or grammar. In the end if the client is happy, then I'm happy. Thanks again for the kind words.

Not a problem! I really don't post reviews on these things to be a douche, but rather to help keep the public informed. Far too many people get screwed by hiring people that are unqualified, simply because they don't know any better. Sort of like the person with a doctorate in journalism that still doesn't know the difference between "your" and "you're" when writing.

Apparently the credibility of HaoBTC is being questioned: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1423639.0
I am not going to say anything on the thread - scepticism in this environment is justified but I do want to say this again that HaoBTC intends to set itself an example of an honest Bitcoin business, and this has never changed since day one.
Those who are interested in learning a bit about inside HaoBTC, read my post on Medium: https://medium.com/@muxiaoliang/one-year-anniversary-at-haobtc-a716017d6ae2#.7q8vnvbny

Reputation is everything, and you guys have been continuously paying out and running a pretty legit operation.  That is all that should matter and you should take pride in the fact that there are so many users willing to invest with you guys.  Keep up the good work.

I just want to point out that Mt. Gox, Cryptsy, etc. were all "pretty legit" operations that were "continuously paying out..." until they weren't. It's not really proof of anything anymore.

That said, I personally trust HaoBTC, though I don't have funds with them anymore due to the interest rate drops.

Your writing isn't too bad! You definitely need to work on punctuation and sentence structure in some cases (which is the norm with most writers), but it's definitely something a great editor could work with, Smiley.

i gived 20k gp already on lol and i think its will be better for me to keep it but im so generous

Sorry, but i probably have missed something, you gave 20k GP to whom? And why? Sounds like you are really generous! Anyway keep it for the future dont be too generous, if you have any leftovers yet.

LoL means League of Legends (a MOBA game), just to clarify.

He probably mistyped, its 10% annual per year.

I really looking forward a PoS Stage 3. Still long way to go, but well until then, now is a time for testing and accumulating coins.

I didn't mistype, I misunderstood. For some reason I always read that/thought it was 5%/mo, 10%/mo, 5%/mo. This helps alleviate my own concerns quite a bit, Smiley.

Yay for alleviated concerns!   Grin  It's normally me that misunderstands so happy to help with this one, you can put me right next time I put my foot in my mouth (probably in a day or two).

NP! Never hesitate to call me out when I'm wrong, Smiley. I have zero issues admitting to my faults.

you are not always right. you like to speak and type as if you are for the most part but you're a nice guy so i'll let it slip.
you should pick up a few gbt now because if your plan is to wait for the pre sale dumps to buy in I don't think you'll succeed and most probable miss out.

Ask any real investor if that's valued properly. I promise you they will say it's not. It's just basic math. People lie; math doesn't. I'm not even going to argue this.

you said earlier in thew thread that sometimes you like taking risks on investments like this. I think you should stand by your earlier word and pick up some gbt because i doubt this coin is ever going to be cheap. Im not selling any and the ones I did buy iI have a 24 month plan with. I'll be holding ling time.

I take investment risks. I don't gamble. This is no different than a slot machine right now -- you're playing with a -EV situation. That's not how you make money, it's how you lose it. At a value of 100k (not 1m, like it is), it'd still be a pretty speculative play, but I'd have taken part. At that point it turns into a risky investment, rather than a straight-up gamble. To put it into perspective, risky investments are high-risk, high-reward situations. Gambles are high-risk, low-reward ones. The latter is a horrible deal from a financial perspective.


Both were private (the interesting part is I haven't seen a single actual, full-on business plan posted in these forums from anyone other than CBTC (who does a great job, but has had a lot of issues in the past)). I don't throw money at things blindly. I like to see my income rise, not fall. Research is key. Understanding the business and its management are key. Understanding the risk ratio of the business is key. Knowing the competition, market, and risks are key. There's so many things people neglect here, but I guess this is why it's an unregulated area -- so 'businesses' can keep taking advantage of fools.

You can’t expect anyone to invest when your numbers don’t back a million dollar valuation - However I would be willing to buy some of the coins later and play the market depending on how it does upon initial release.


Does no good to say things like this here. I've even detailed WHY it's not worth close to $1m. Non-investors that wish they were investors are here and will bash anything you say because of their ignorance. And then when they don't ROI, they'll come crying "OMG WE WERE SCAMMED" when they weren't.

I'd love to see an idea like this work, but its valuation is obviously way off. As long as non-investors keep blindly throwing their money at things saying "OMG ITS A BITCORNS AND NOW WELL BE RICH LOL" it'll never end. I think I've seen two legitimate investment opportunities over the past few months.

The ROI has no time limit though I think that's what the people who are investing count on - you can earn endlessly, if the product sticks around anyway.

Great! I'm starting up a new grocery store. Okay, so WMT is worth something like 800b, Kroger around 300b. Toss me some money and I'll give you a valuation of 500b (in between). Those two have set precedence for how much I'm going to be worth later -- in some unknown period of time -- so it's a great deal!

(Disclaimer: Uh, no. That's not how the real world works. I can tell you for a fact no accredited investor would be involved with this because they aren't stupid)

These guy's hide their face and real names, they probably aren't seeking credited investors, but none the less you have a solid point - this is why I'm probably not going to buy into the ICO but I will play the exchange game when the price falls, and it will probably fall let's be honest.

The point behind the accredited investor comment is... if you're not an accredited investor, there's a reason for that, and it means you obviously don't have the knowledge and expertise to handle a real investment logically (otherwise you'd have already worked your way up to accreditation status). While there's a lot of people in here arguing about how great of a deal this is/the site is/etc., I can promise you none of them match that criteria, and it's pretty obvious why.

Is it just me or is this guy just here to heckle?
I don't see any logic in his points or data for that matter

Oh well, anyway I'm pumped to get in on this kroger investment bro.


Don't blame him for watching out for investor my friend he is only trying to help

+

If this were a legitimate opportunity, I'd absolutely love to invest (and they'd have already hit their asking amount over a week ago). It's an area I know very well.

Though I will say that it's not just to protect others, it's to protect those of us that are actually seasoned. The number of actual opportunities in these forums are very rare, and that's all due to one thing: people blindly throwing their money at things they know nothing about.

I wish I could say that this will be a lesson to a lot of 'investors,' but most of them are just going to follow the same path with the next (non)opportunity because for some reason, their greed overpowers their ability to think critically.

(Side note: do I think the project as a whole will fail? No. It's just grossly overvalued for what state it's in. GBT will absolutely be dropping in value as soon as it's released. I'll follow it on the side and when its valuation finally makes sense, I will get slightly involved, though I'll greatly limit myself due to the incompetence already seen -- or greed -- from the team)

any plans on adding poker?

None.

We've looked into this a few times over the past 2 years, the market for Bitcoin Poker is not only extremely saturated, it's a difficult endeavor to undertake from a customer support, marketing and technical perspective. Just look at all the problems that our competition is running into with freerolls (which don't generate them ANY revenue)!

It's further made difficult because for whatever reason, crypto poker players are generally just freeroll hunters.

And when do we get March's stats? Smiley. Should also be quarterly report, right?

This guys is awesome . So cool in the interview too.

I really can't see how hyper is so undervalued.

I think the 5% monthly is just a lot of pressure on the coin. Would be great to move to posp at 10% per year or even 15%

Then get an electrum wallet so gamers can use it without all the major hassle.

If it will only cost 2 BTC surely we as a community can raise this together?



5%/mo is pretty large, I agree. And it's going to be 10%/mo later as well... But if the economy grows faster than the coin increase, it'll even out. Really needs a bigger market.
