Still there will be limitations while using bitcoins at a physical casino. Both for deposit and withdrawal , you will have to wait for some time as they will require to at least wait for some confirmations. This can de done in seconds at an online casino and then you can play once transaction is conformed. For a physical casino, you will have to visit it even for for a small bitcoin deposit. I have no idea if they charge more transaction fees as well.

I actually never thought about how I was able to recover but it was a combination of factors. In addition to the primary reason that I mentioned earlier (busy work schedule), changing my environment worked as well. I was introduced to gambling by neighbors when I was living on rent. I left that place and it helped a lot as well.

Agree with you. Most of the people just complain about the money they lost in gambling. But in my opinion, the time lost in those activities is even more important. One realizes this with time when he really gets engaged in some real business or job and compares the returns for same amount of time spent.

Also, online gambling has resulted in new opportunities like gambling with Bitcoins. It is not possible to gamble with Bitcoins in a physical casino. To gamble with Bitcoins online, you will have to first make an account on respective website. Thereafter, you have to add some Bitcoins which are added to the account after some confirmations. Thereafter, you can play with the deposited Bitcoins and withdraw the final earnings. These websites usually charge some fee for withdrawal like 2%. It is one of the easiest ways to earn Bitcoins online.

Treatment is difficult at later stages but it is not impossible. I know a lot of people who were addicted to gambling badly but they recovered and are leading a very good life now. As per my personal experience, the only way to avoid that stage is to keep yourself busy in other activities that are more important for your survival.

Nice thread with some real experiences. Mine will not be that interesting as I have already overcome addiction.

This story is of two brothers who introduced me to gambling. Their current age will be about 40 and 32. Both were addicted to gambling. The older brother started with offline gambling and was also involved in various other illegal activities. The younger one was having some part time job t pay for bills and the money he used to loose on gambling online. Their parents knew about this but they perhaps gave up on them. Lat time I checked  about them, all 4 were living in a rented room of 100 sq feet.

I agree. There are different wager requirements in different websites and thus you should gather all this information beforehand. It is mentioned clearly in rules section.

Then there are special bonuses on some exchanges as well. These are usually given for making the deposit through a particular payment option. One such payment option is Neteller and you can expect about 10% extra as bonus with this payment system.  One should read all rules to make best use of these options.

You can only focus on own profile. Many members who joined after you advanced to the next rank. You can see various threads here sharing data about how many members advanced to next level after the merit system. You can also do this if you focus on the correct things. Good luck.

Because the majority will not be able to get merits because of bad post quality.

You can see the same behavior everywhere. For instance, when students do not get good marks in exams, they will start blaming the subject or the teacher. In reality, it is those students who are not making good effort. Same applies here.

Is there any bounty for reporting security bugs on this forum ?  If yes, where to report it. Details of official rules and bugs covered will also be helpful.

Admin has already ruled out that possibility in the past. So you can think of other suggestions to stop people abusing the signature campaigns here. Some of the bounties do require users to give information or have some additional requirements like joining a telegram channel. This will not eliminate multiple profiles completely but will reduce the numbers for sure.

I checked your past posts and you are doing fine. However, when you post anything like this thread, be prepared for some attention and serious analysis of your profile.

I have a question for you Admin. Why don't you send those people interested in advertising here to the advertising packages offered by this forum ? You sending them to an affiliate manager (however reputed he is) can cause unnecessary troubles.

Yes good coins will recover. One of these can be  Substratum. Valued at $0.51, Substratum was launched in the third quarter of 2017 – with an ICO of $13.8 million. Substratum, an open-source network, lets anyone rent their computer as hosting server and earn cryptocurrency. Substratum is aiming to become the foundation of the decentralized web. Users should definitely keep an eye on this one.

Instead of rewarding users for sending merits, deleting the merits if not used for some time is better idea. Sharing merits is not something that takes a lot of time. Admin did wrote the message in merit history page that they can delete merits in future to avoid hoarding but this was not implemented in reality here.

I did not knew that this forum has faced 3 hacks in the past. This is really something to worry about as out information is also disclosed to the hackers. Was the forum able to catch any hacker in any of the cases above ?

There are various other small coins like Dragonchain. Currently being valued at $0.78, Dragonchain is a business platform, incubator, marketplace, and blockchain. It is probably the friendliest, most secure, and flexible platform and it has plenty of benefits and features – not to mention that it is connected to Disney.

One should check the team behind an ICO.

Last year, Filecoin’s initial coin offering (ICO) became the largest token sale in history, collecting $257 million in contributions. And aside from being built on really cool technology, Filecoin is also being backed by some well-known companies, such as Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, and Union Square Ventures, sending Filecoin on the first spot of top  alt coins to invest in 2018.

Both EOS and ETH are good. You can also consider Ethos. Currently being valued at $2.90, Ethos is one of the promising contenders for the top 5 alt coins to invest in 2018. Ethos’s aim is to make cryptocurrency investing accessible for a non-expert with a universal wallet, liquidity coin, and easy portfolio management. With Ethos Universal Wallet, Ethos makes it easy and safe to transfer money of any form – anytime, anyplace, and in an instant – for free. This piece of innovation will surely close the gap between technical experts and average users.

There are many other alternatives like  Filecoin (FIL). Valued at $18.72, Filecoin is being eagerly anticipated as a decentralized storage solution. There are a lot of competitors in the market, but Filecoin stands out because it is built with IPFS, a protocol and network designed to create a content-addressable, peer-to-peer method of storing and sharing hypermedia in a distributed file system.
