1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crash Game - Do you hate waiting for the next round when it goes over 1000x? on: Today at 05:04:58 PM
You bet 1.01 on Crash, you won... you wanna do it again but the numbers just keep on rolling.... it's 100x and you're still waiting for the next round ... then it's 1000x ... so maybe someone else might be rejoicing over these odds but all you wanna do is get that damn round to start already.

Do you have this feeling with this game?  Grin

Should the Crash Developers made it possible for those who don't want to wait to start another round "without" the others?  Huh


I won't be bored I will be looking as well as excited what is going to be the result cause we don't really see big wins often even if we are not part of it, witnessing it's kind of thrilling to me.

That's the whole point of crash game, making it individual game will lose it's reputation in my opinion.

PIN and password are just encryption for the app/wallet file on the particular device which can secure your funds in case you lost your device so someone without knowing the PIN or password can't able to access the wallet and they can't even open it via with wallet file like with electrum because it will be encrypt the wallet file that can be decrypted on when you enters the PIN. It does offer some security.

Seedphrase is your master key and all the private keys are created from the seephrase so in case if someone accessed your seedphrase then PIN is useless in this case because they can import the whole wallet into a different device.

You haven't done anything wrong yet, when you have new cold card just create entirely new seeds and move the funds to it and that's it the funds again went back to cold storage.

You can't be 100% sure that any device is free from any kind of malware even the most advanced machines with all the necessary things from government agencies can't stop the remote attack from hackers so think about security of your device. For now you can use the wallet meanwhile not connecting to internet can be a better than always connected to internet.

Switching to different game might actually reduce the possibility of winning so stick with one game particular for long enough seems to be a valid thing but this is not a strategy just a rational thinking cause switching is not gonna affect anything even if we pick game with better RTP which is not gonna bring any noticeable change unless the lucks plays a role.
5  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Addiction Debate: Virtual Sports Betting vs Real-Life Sporting Events on: September 19, 2024, 03:07:01 PM
E-sports is just the new version of the game so I don't know why it has to be a point of debate in addiction, it's just same as conventional games but it's as popular as betting on a real-life football game? I don't think so.

Gaming industry is billion dollar industry already even without the part of gambling involvement so for them it's just a byproduct and people always seek for new experience and that could be one of the reason if you find people betting more on virtual games more than the actual real life games but as I said it just has same effect as any kind of addiction.

Most of you guys will go with the known trusted users but let me get you a hidden gem. A newbie who made only 5 posts until now but got +7 green under his profile for the very one reason which is being honest and you can see that theymos mentioned the word honest as well.

User : EZ0010

Reason:

In this situation it turned out we had two dummies: owlgames sent the BTC incorrectly to the forum, and then yesterday I sent his refund to the wrong address. Embarrassed I'd been referring to my previous notes on how to do the refund correctly, and I sent the BTC to the last person who overpaid, since their address was still in my notes and I forgot to change it this time. (Now I've rewritten these notes to remove addresses...)

I thought there was little chance of getting the BTC back, since the last person who overpaid looked fairly anonymous, and in any case they were probably using an exchange address or something. So this morning I refunded owlgames properly in a second transaction, and I expected to just eat the cost. But surprisingly, the person who got the random $1000 I accidentally sent, EZ0010, returned the BTC ~immediately. Thanks to him!

The lessons:
 - There are good, honest people in the world.

This isn't 70's anymore, we are in 2024 and I bet couples married share their fair share maintaining the family that means it's not more true that women is always doing the house chores. I do get that women supposed to be studying or atleast how they were in the past but we are talking about gender equality and we also have no proof to claim that women gamble more other than pure speculation so it's kind of invalid discussion further.
indeed there will be no valid claim that can show that female gamblers are increasing in number or more than male gamblers. in a situation like today, there is no longer any interest that separates gender. women can also work as manual laborers that are identical to men. They can choose whatever they want including gambling or other activities.
if you want a simple view, then we should go to a physical casino and see if we see more women or men playing there all the time. we should classify between online and physical gamblers. but still, it will not show any data, but it is enough to make our view on this topic.

It's very different though if we compare women as manual laborers, there are still job that is suited for men, than women in my opinion. But as far as gambling goes, there is no separated in gender. Both can play and be addicted simply as that. Although there are data that suggest that women are more risk averse, there could be some exception in this one. If you go to physical casinos, you can see a lot of women, young and beautiful, who sits on a baccarat or blackjack table.

Sometimes, I will just observed and see how this ladies are doing, and I will noticed that they are in a winning run or could be with someone playing along. But still, it didn't matter as women could also be aggressive in gambling and for the simply reason that men do as well, win as much money as they can.

There are some women who can see on an actual casino who really there for gambling but most others are just with their men hooking up or they often used by their partner to distract the opponents especially in poker table.

I actually saw lot of gambling videos and one of the channel is keep recommending by the platform is from a woman who shows different kind of activities in first person perspective while most of other similar from men that shows another set of data women are far less in gambling than men.

Having more females than males in gambling is something the society where such thing is happening has to be ponder about. Gambling is an activity of financial risks and when a woman that is meant to be the assistant to the husband and the family is now gambling to feed the family and take care of her needs, in that case something might seems wrong. It is not that women are meant to gambler but it's about the risk it could pose to the entire family as time goes on. Just imagine a mother using the fund that is meant for dinner for gambling, it means something is wrong somewhere and if it continues, problem could emanate where the children will have to fend for themselves anytime their mother incurs loses in gambling activities.

Since we have the online gambling becoming popular the women gamblers have increased considerably. Back in the days, people had to go to the physical casinos to gamble and women hesitated to go in the men dominated casinos. However, in the online casino, women can gamble without anyone know that the gambler is a female and also she do not need to reveal her identity.

Also, we know that globally it is the men who moves more out of the house as compared to women, hence they have more time where they can engage themselves in online gambling. Although we can never get the exact number of male or female gamblers but i am sure that both of them must be equal in number, even if we remain conservative and believe that women gamblers not yet exceeded male gamblers.

This isn't 70's anymore, we are in 2024 and I bet couples married share their fair share maintaining the family that means it's not more true that women is always doing the house chores. I do get that women supposed to be studying or atleast how they were in the past but we are talking about gender equality and we also have no proof to claim that women gamble more other than pure speculation so it's kind of invalid discussion further.
9  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Question about SegWit Prunability and Compatibility with Older Bitcoin Versions on: September 18, 2024, 05:12:30 PM

1. The block header still contains the necessary data to verify the block is still valid or not even without the witness data.

2. Older versions see the TXs are anyone can spend but not as invalid and they still follow the consensus rule of the longest valid chain with block headers which doesn't let these nodes to propagate any invalid blocks thereby posing no security to the network.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does the changing value of BTC affect your decision to gamble in crypto casinos? on: September 18, 2024, 03:00:23 PM
        -       As long as I have a lot of money, I will not hesitate to gamble because I only gamble once, and I always enjoy it every time I win or lose. I'm still happy, and if I win, it's because I'm lucky if I can leave my limit fund in the casino.

And the extra I will take out, then I will gamble again on the day I can gamble again in the casino; that's the cycle I do most of the time. So the fall in the value of bitcoin has nothing to do with me playing gambling; maybe for you, there is.

Define gamble once?

You mean you gambled only with the money you deposited and you will stop when the funds ran our or you just mention one bet and that's it for the day...


Of course change in BTC value affects the gambling if the value is considered as huge even 10% can change the perspective but it's not gonna stop anyone from gambling but only they will alter the bet amount according to dollar value.
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: BTC funds 'stuck' in wallet - can not send on: September 18, 2024, 05:59:36 AM
Have you tried changing the electrum server?

Try importing only the private key from the address into electrum and try sending it to the desired address.

Try downloading bitcoin core v23.0 or lower, as it has the option to create a legacy wallet, which allows you to import private keys directly.
Very happy to report that this worked! Thank you so much for taking the time to reply with such clear and comprehensive instructions! I will now redact my wallet address from earlier posts as the problem is solved.
Which one: Switching to another server, importing the private key to Electrum or Bitcoin Core?
It's important to note which solved the issue.

I guess it should be importing the private key instead of the wallet might have resolved that because the other suggestion of downloading the qt and running own node has nothing to do with signing the TX from the wallet.

Could be a new bug that should be resolved.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do AML systems evaluate cryptocurrency withdrawn from casinos? on: September 16, 2024, 05:22:58 PM
I never use any tools to check the risk level of my funds coming from casinos and I have never had any problem when I withdraw from casinos to CEX. If you worried with that, you can just use either no KYC P2P or DEX that listed on kycnot.me

It's true some CEX do categorized gambling funds as high-risk, but I guess it's for strict CEX especially local exchange.
I never thought about this before, and I continued to make transactions between casino withdrawals to cex without worry, but now I realize that I need to be more careful, do international exchanges have rules regarding funds from casino flows?

There is no such terms on most of the exchange will explicitly mention it but they all are saying funds can be frozen at any time which implies the point. If you have been using it for more than 6 months then it's safe to assume that your funds are safe even if you deposit directly to your exchange from casino but if you ever go on to new exchange or whenever you see the terms have been updated then you have to be careful.

Or even better if you just ask the support of the exchange whether you're allowed to do it or not but make sure you have no funds left while asking such questions.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do AML systems evaluate cryptocurrency withdrawn from casinos? on: September 16, 2024, 04:03:11 PM
For example, if I withdraw USDT-TRC20 and want to exchange it for Bitcoin using a CEX, will the CEX accept funds coming from a casino? Or will it block them? And is it safe to withdraw directly to an exchange address to avoid extra fees?

Depending on the exchange, Coinbase will terminate your account once and for all with no questions asked if they traced the funds deposited from a casino whether directly or indirectly.

Other than that exchanges have no issues with you depositing funds directly from a casino but for your sake of security it's not recommended to do a TX where you don't hold the keys on any of the side so that you don't need to worry in case if the TX got stuck due to low fee or many other things.

There are many wallet providers offering such services and what's even more Ironic is the users has to pay monthly or annual subscription fee to avail that feature, stupid isn't?

But that's what our people have been doing or atleast in the past 50 to 70 years in the name of banks, we use their system to keep our money and we pay whatever fee they demand from us and we don't even think it as a concern anymore and I guess the same psychology applies here.

The difference is that with banks, we didn't really have a choice, did we? Sure, there were a few commercial banks to choose from in most countries. But they all agreed on fees and other terms behind closed doors. With Bitcoin wallets, it's different. As long as there's a choice.


I am saying people are used to it so they don't think it is a mistake to trust their funds with someone who is called as trusted whether its a bank or a company. I am also agree that the trustless system is best ever thing happened but I don't know how long it will take for the complete transition to happen and my assumption is it will at least take a generation from now on to see the importance of it means we still got a long way to get the awareness that we had.

This is some exotic content to feed the viewers urge especially the audience of ishowspeed who do every kind of crazy stuff. I am not gonna bet on these things cause it's purely orchestrated of what the outcome is gonna be so better not to regret yourself for wasting your money on something that's purely made for entertainment purposes. Just enjoy it and keep your money for serious business, yes we bet for entertainment but bet on the serious matches than some internet publicity.
'Exotic' content huh? I think that sounds funny Cheesy. Is it because of their appearance? Just kidding, but this kind of stunts are not new for us to say that it was exotic. Fine if you don't want to risk your money on this one. If you are in for entertainment, you still can have it by simply watching the show.


Some people may consider it as crazy stuff and that's what makes it as exotic too and I don't think I even gonna watch these shows cause as I said it's rigged so if I watch then I feel like I let some to make fool of me. But it's my opinion and others may disagree with this statement.

And YouTube is actually filled with more kids and nowadays these kind of contents suggested to the audience than something that's educative so after all everything is just after money and fame.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you ever had legal problem due to playing on Curacao licenses online casinos? on: September 15, 2024, 01:54:06 PM
It's the player's responsibility to know that and ensure that it's legal in their place and that you are safe. It's still better to approach a professional for guidance with cashing out the winnings and how you will declare it.
Yes, it the players responsibility to know the legal status but it doesn't mean we need a consultation from a professional cause all we need is just a google research and it gives pretty good information more than a paid legal consult for generic matters and here we are talking about playing in online casinos so they have pretty good idea of using the internet to search things.

But when it comes to reporting the taxes we should go with the professionals cause they know the things deeper than anyone and they can find ways to write off taxes and so on.

You have valid point as when it comes to declaring of taxes, you may not find it via online but there are some loopholes in the system that some professionals like lawyers know how to go around it. I am not saying, don't pay taxes, but there are some rules that are not explicitly explained to the public. Also, some people don't know the exact meaning of what the regulation of their country, like if there is a leeway or whatnot.

Tax evading is legal though and it's exist because rich people doesn't want to give away their money to government just like that as a middle class person but it's possible we can make use of that too and it's not illegal like people think on the other hand not paying taxes is illegal which is tax evading and it different from avoiding.

Comparing apples and oranges isn't fair in the first place.

A house can be both an asset or a liability even if we assume the appreciation of the property's value is too low or reached the threshold value. In my understanding, if you buy a house to live in there it's a liability cause it's not giving you any kind of income but you are paying all kinds of taxes, bills, etc that is why renting a place is better in terms of investment perspective but if you buy a house and lend it for people then it generates revenue which becomes an investment.
