381  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you play 10% for 3 round or 30% for 1 round? on: August 07, 2017, 01:19:18 PM
I prefer slow with more winning chance, so I will take 30% winning chance, betting with low winning chances is not my style and I got more luck with high winning chance, the chances of both bet is different and the strategy is depends on the gamblers favor, both of the ways can make a profit, but for me, I earn more with high winning chance betting

But based on my experience in gambling all these methods will not be lost for long. These methods may work for some time but after a while surely it will not work anymore. Since I usually gamble for fun so I will not go for all in one but will play with a smaller amount for a while to enjoy my free time. Anyway, I know the end result so I prefer to lose slowly instead immediately.
I think using the method that you mean it can not be used in this game, it's true playing slowly can increase our chance to win because it means we already know that not to rush to gamble but the result is still determined by luck.
Playing slow does not increase your chances of winning when it comes to gambling. It doesn't matter whether you play 100 games with 1% bets or 1 game with a 100% bet, the end-result will be the same on average.
Depending on the mentality of the player, one or the other playstyle will be more fun though. Some people like to "go big or go home", while others prefer to just play for prolonged amounts of time.
382  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When to leave the game? on: August 06, 2017, 09:24:12 PM
Many addicted to gamble that they don't know how to leave gamble even they won they want to play more until there money lose all. That is my problem when i gamble i don't know how to leave in casino thats why i always lose. But now i stop it.
It's not only your problem or the problems of a small group of people everyone in gambling don't really know when to stop winning is really hard but when someone keeps winnig he doesn't stop and thinks he cam earn more than his goal and finally loses all. You should always stick to your goal and quickly withdraw after achieving it
Here you need to consider what is actually happening with every gambler. Because no gambler is entering into gambling for the reason of losing his money and moreover all the gamblers are having some plan to make profit and to limit their gambling activity for that day. Even they are having such plans, they are unable to follow it almost every day. That is the reason they are booking profit at the end of the day.

I believe there will be no possibility of leaving gambling after winning but the only possibility must be leaving off gambling completely. You should never go to gambling hence you never need to win and then lose there. Possible ?
Of course you can stop gambling when you win. Most people just lack the resolve to do so and then blame gambling and call it "addictive" rather than taking responsibility for their behaviour.

Crypto-Games and Bitvest are my favourites. Both allow bank-roll investments alongside regular gambling. Crypto-Games offers a lot of altcoins, while Bitvest offers leverage. They both handled the BCC split quite professionally as well, so can't go wrong with either.
384  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: August 05, 2017, 09:46:06 PM
As some game is so much addictive become hard to control but we should set control this type of behavior in a smart way. Like to play it when it's a holiday. Then It's nice to relax or pleasure for a while, not be hampered.

The game are not addictive, sometimes it is the person that made it so much addictive because they keep telling themselves that they cant live if they dont gamble. While in reality it is not like that. Some people are foolish and some are smart, the smarter way to keep gambling without losing is to play EV+ games and hope that you win
Surprised someone on a gambling forum would actually get this simple fact of life. It's the person that gets themselves addicted or attached to a game. The game itself is not addictive, people simply lack self-control and self-awareness and prefer putting the blame and responsibility on everything and everyone but themselves.
385  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: August 05, 2017, 09:39:57 PM
It is not bad to gamble. As long as you you don't offend anybody else and your not abusing yourself. You should gamble in moderation. The wrong here starts when you get addicted to it. When winning you'll crave for more until you lose all of that, and because you want to get your money back, you'll find  ways, that may cause bad things. It maybe stealing, loaning and cheating, until your life become wasted

Only a fool would do such thing for gambling. When someone actually do a bad stuff because of gambling then you can pretty much know that person are actually so stupid to sacrifice his life just to get some money to gamble. That is also a proof that everyone gamble so that they can win some money not for fun
This is very true. I still find it peculiar that gambling, drugs and other things get blamed for a person's actions. Someone who will deliberately harm others or ruin their own life in favour of drugs, alcohol, gambling or whatever else will find a way to ruin things anywhere. I hope that I'll get to see the day where society finally gets that people need to be solely accountable for their actions. Otherwise people will always keep blaming things for their own mistakes.
386  Other / Off-topic / Re: Should I Go To College ??? on: August 05, 2017, 09:37:12 PM
yes off course you can go to college. I think study has no age. there is many opportunity to a degree holders. I have a uncle he is 45 years old he also go to college now because he knows the importance of study.

wish that i would too..but i still got more responsibilities to do
maybe if i am able to save up some money i would definitely go back to college
I m 26 and it feels like lifes going faster
its hard to get a decent paying job without a degree
What is your skill-set, or what field are you in? There are ways to get very well paying jobs in tech if that's your jam. If not I would be looking into self-employment as a side-gig and try to scale that up over time. College (at least in the US) is not worth it based on your age and financial situation.
387  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does experience matter in gambling? on: August 05, 2017, 09:34:54 PM
For me doesnt seem have an effect on experience or inexperienced gambling. I've seen someone just once followed gambling and won huge. While me, who has more than 2 years gambling, even more minus.

What did he played? I'm thinking that it's just a luck based gambling game and for sure he had won it by chance and that's a lucky guy after all. I feel bad for you as that someone you know won big amount as he's only a newbie but you that's been playing for 2 years and got more losses? This is gambling, we can win, we loss.
Gambling by its very nature means that you will lose more the longer you play... Otherwise casinos wouldn't make any profits.
388  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Trading vs Gambling on: August 05, 2017, 09:33:49 PM
Trading is the best method to earn more bitcoins in short term comparatively gambling is too risky and there is always an fear of loosing money in it as only luck will decide your end result and that makes gambling very risky form of making money.

But in trading you should have good money management and skills to survive under different market conditions.So it is more risky than gambling if you dont know what you are doing.
There are no such requirements in gambling to survive hence there will be no possibility of protecting ourselves in gambling. But this is the first time I come across somebody calling trading is more risky than gambling. I mean to say at least we are having some possibilities to survive in trading if we are having those skills but in gambling those skills are meaningless and only luck factor will be the "skill" to survive in gambling.

Trading and gambling are riskier at their own levels but controlling risk is possible in trading and gambling it is completely out of control. That is the reason I prefer trading over gambling.
Stating that gambling is less risky than trading is simply nonsense. When gambling the odds are against the player, period. When trading, the odds only turn against the trader if he buys and sells randomly. In that case he's still a gambler, who simply buys coins or stocks instead of dice rolls.
389  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: August 05, 2017, 09:32:10 PM
I dont know where to invest bitcoin. I once invested in ore-mine, but ultimately a scam. Since then, i prefer to gambling with a profit target not too big. I think it's better.

There's a lot of legit websites where you can invest your bitcoins. Do you ever try to trade alt coins? Have you bought an alt coin that is popular like ETH or XMR? This is a good type of investment just like the same in bitcoin, you just gotta hold it and wait for that coin to pump.
Altcoin investments are nowhere near as simple as you are making them out to be. A lot of people burn themselves by walking into alts with that attitude/belief.
390  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you use analysis when play gambling? on: August 05, 2017, 09:31:15 PM
It depends on the gambling you play, i think not all gambling can be analyzed. Gambling on sports can be analyzed by looking at the previous game and from the latest news. But if playing in a casino, casino games rely heavily on pure luck and you will only be able to guess the numbers that will come out next and this can not be analyzed.

It depends on the game though, because not all of the games could be predicted by just comparing the previous ones and the current one, the situation might change depends on the player that will play the game, for example is on the basketball game, the scenario is not going to be the same every time, it is always changing since the gameplay is not constant, so, luck is still there, but not that big like when we are playing DICE game.
Sports betting is one of the few games that can be overcome with skill but even at sports betting you need to take into consideration the house edge, for example if you bet in a game with a house edge of 2% that is an easier game to overcome than a game with a house edge of 5%, so you need to take everything in consideration if you want to be profitable in sports betting.
yes that is right that in sports games we are using our skill and experience but i think still there we need our luck also . if we are lucky then our experience and skill can work otherwise it will be useless.
If you have to rely on luck, then your experience and skill do not exist and are merely figments of your imagination. A person with skill and experienced will, over a long stretch of time, win more than they lose and thus make profit. Of course, nobody will be winning 100% of the time, but that's not needed to be profitable. Otherwise banks, insurance firms, hedge funds etc. wouldn't exist.
391  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Giving up gambling is not easy on: August 05, 2017, 09:29:30 PM
Do sports and explore new places. At the end of the day virtual gambling is not that rewarding compared to outside world experiences shared with the people you love and cherish. Just like you said, it creates a thirst that is never quenched. It creates an illusion that you want a little bit more of what you already have and then it's gone in an instant.

This I agree with. Imagine those times when you already won but failed to withdraw. And after you realized it, its gone and its too late. Just set limits and treat gambling as a recreational activity and not an everyday task.

One thing we must understand is that gambling is the place to find a great advantage. Where every advantage can only be obtained if we can play well, there's not a real story that someone could get an advantage simply by relying on luck. Because it all comes from the strategy and a good self control, if we don't have it then everything will just end up on the same thing. The profits did not come from luck, but experience and skill we have
 
Gambling by its very nature puts you at a disadvantage. The only exception are strategy based games or when you coin-flip/dice roll against some random person that doesn't run a gambling business.
392  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When to leave the game? on: August 05, 2017, 09:27:02 PM
When has achieved profit of about 10%, then i immediately get out of casino. Because i realize, if i keep playing can be sure i will lose.

This is very good idea - think of % of profit and simply stop gambling after you get it. This way can prevent you from being addicted to gambling, and will save player's money.

I don't have any % when i have to stop, i gamble for fun not profit so i don't really care if i'll be unlucky and lose money,i usually leave when i lose everything or i'm bored.
That makes sense if you don't bring all of your capital to the table, which a lot of people seem to be doing for some reason.
393  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Does a tor-like blockchain network exist? on: August 05, 2017, 09:24:57 PM
Check out http://deeponion.org website for info, sounds like what you are describing and their team is currently doing free weekly airdrops of this crypto.
It looks interesting, but I don't think owning deeponion tokens incentivises being an active node on the tor network. I think when they claim it helps the network, it does so by the wallets adding to the pool of ips using tor. BTW that is some steep requirement for being in the airdrop, not that I can participate even if I did post a lot (my account is too new by a few days).

Do you mean Mysterium???
https://mysterium.network/

it's sort of a VPN service with tokens. Problem is that all those who will accept their private connections to route traffic, can be sued for letting illegal traffic through
That is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for, thanks. Is this the only one, or do they have competition? Looks like they are early in the development process, but it's one to watch.
DeepOnion does use a mix of PoW and PoS. So technically you are rewarded with extra coins if you leave your wallet running.
I wasn't clear in the post you quoted. Yes you're rewarded for keeping the wallet active, but your wallet doesn't act as a middle relay (receive tor traffic and pass it on to another relay), which is what I meant by being an active node on the tor network.

Yeah, as already mentioned deeponion is most likely the closest you can get to what you described!
Close but no cigar. I'm interested in DeepOnion because it focuses on anonymously transferring currency, using a proven system, and imo there is demand for something like that, but unless wallets are middle relays it doesn't fulfill what I asked for. It may seem subtle but it's a big difference. If instead of the usual PoW mining DeepOnion has, they had a PoW system of incentivising being a middle relay, then it would be what I described.
You could try to suggest that to the dev, he's been quite receptive about all sorts of input. Although I'm not sure if this can really be done in retrospection without screwing with the coin supply. Perhaps if it was funded through transfer fees? But that would require a larger network adoption, so perhaps that would become a viable option in the future.
394  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is a good investment you can do with BTC? on: August 05, 2017, 09:18:32 PM
Hold (HODL) is the best option, I guess. Other altcoins, tokens, ICO are great too, but you have to go deep there, to understand what they are and how they work.
We can consider 'holding' as an investment since the price of Bitcoin is exponentially increasing. But then again trading would be the best choice, because not only you are gaining experience on how they work you can now also gain knowledge about trading and stuffs. You can now analyze the price discrepancies of the coins and make a good deal to those exchangers. It is a very good investment because by subsidizing your coins, there would be great profits to it.
I agree with the "learning to trade" part. But one should start small with that. A solid start is putting 60 to 70% into coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum or AiCoin, and using the rest to learn how to trade with altcoins. There are different timescales for trading for different types of people. I personally prefer a mix of long-term HODL and swing trading, as day-trading eats up too much time that I could spend learning other things.
AiCoin is perfect for "buy and forget forever" type of investments, Bitcoin and Ethereum can be long-term HODL as well as swing traded quite well, day trading works too with them, but that's not my jam.

You can invest in some Casino bankrolls (e.g. Bitvest or Crypto-Games) or find coins/ICOs with an already working product such as AiCoin for investments. All three of these options have outstanding prospects in the crypto-market.

Thanks for the replies, but anonymously transferring crypto is not what I mean. I mean actually creating a tor-like network, where the point is to anonymise traffic (you use it like you use tor). People spend tokens on the network to have their traffic routed through it, and those tokens are distributed to the nodes on the network that helped anonymise the traffic.
As far as I am aware, that does not currently exist. I do have a feeling that it should though. Hopefully somebody will pick this up.

Just got word from lightlord, funds should be in the escrow wallet soon (most likely after the fork, though).
Payments will be processed right after and we can resume the campaign once done.
I'll keep you guys updated.



Special thanks to absy for helping me reach out.
Thank you for the update Lutpin.

Could you let us know when/where the counting for the new round will start?
