Not sad, just as expected.
As everyone agrees he is not Satoshi, it makes sense that nobody would bet on "yes" causing the return on "no" to reduce.

Voting for my own, #12

Btw, as I said earlier, an in case it gets voted, I'd be willing to modify it upon request (modify width/height/color)

I ended up 4th, somebody else came in right at the end and beat my by around 100 hands -.-
Make the contest a bit longer next time please

I somewhat agree that it is linked, but I don't think that signature campaigns necessitate it. I think all that's needed would be stricter moderation.    
Back in what I remember as the peak signature campaign value period, Primedice used to offer upwards of 1 BTC a month, and inputs.io used to pay quite a bit too. (BTC was worth 200smth to 300smth)    
Account seller threads were more frequent IIRC, especially single people selling many many accounts. Account prices were higher too (hero members > 1 BTC I think)

I'd argue that at that point in history, there was more incentive for spamming than there is now.. I think it is just that the standards for removal of posts have lowered, and more and more posts that would have formerly been considered too off-topic or too insubstantial are being allowed now. And you can't really blame the staff, presuming volume of posts is increasing.

Removing signature campaigns would solve the problem. But the existence of signature campaigns and account sales is not the cause, and they have been around from before when the terrible posts came.

Also, I'd argue that the method of micropayments in a signature campaign would actually be good for the forums as it encourages new users (if only they didn't pay per post/have absurd post requirements). I actually remember TF talking about how paying per post was encouraging spam and paying per activity on the inputs.io signature campaign. Straight up removing signature campaigns is going to cut out a lot of the new adopters of Bitcoin who can get their first fraction of a Bitcoin by talking about Bitcoin rather than actually buying it (which can often be a convoluted process not worth going through for small amounts)

So, playing devils advocate, I'd say that signature campaigns don't necessitate spam, it's just alongside lax moderation. Killing the micro-economy of new users who have found usable amounts of BTC only through sig campaigns may be bad for BTC too.

Doing that is going to likely make me lose a lot thought, if I just spam the buttons without actually playing.
It needs to be a fun actual game while having slightly faster animations/loading.

Any idea how fast I can play hands? I need to get like 900 hands in 4 and a half hours

It would be great if the blackjack client was faster

I'm currently trying out the blackjack promo... when exactly does it end? I'm confused as to whether it ends at midnight today or tomorrow (in approx 7 hours or in approx 31 hours)

Because if it ends tomorrow, I may have a chance

I had made an indepth guide to activity interval timings, with a spreadsheet containing all activity interval dates till 2060.
Additionally, it explains how activity works.

Check it out here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=582736.0

Alright, here is another try.



Tell me if you want any changes in the logo/font/size OP.

I'm trying to create a white-only logo, as I think it'd look decent on that background.





I'll definitely change the font and maybe modify the size of the logo.
Any preferences? Does a single-color white logo look good according to you?
(I can send you the design file directly if you want, but image hosts such as imgur don't seem to use an alpha channel, making the logo look like a empty white image)

Any ideas on what you'd want? I'm asking a friend to help me make one.
Something like this:


With the cloud showing the cloud-based aspect and the infinity showing the dynamicity of the service?

I'll try getting a couple more ideas to you, let me know any specifics.

EDIT: Transparent background

I'd be willing to bet on No quite easily, but to me the bet is "Will Dr Craig Wright be able to fool vitalbet into believing he is Satoshi?"

If you only accept a publicly available genesis block signature.
But if you're going to be willing to accept anyone's word, or a signature of some random data (which could easily be just a copied signature from some other block signed by the address), it doesn't make sense to bet for it.

So could you please give more explicit details about how you're going to decide? Thanks.

The reason gold and silver don't get hurt from being held is that they have intrinsic value.
Fiat/BTC has no intrinsic value, but gold and silver do. And they will retain this intrinsic value despite being held for long periods of time.

BTC will die if it remains unused and simply held though.

It would be much safer to transfer the domain rather than giving access to the gmail account (info here: https://support.google.com/a/answer/171715?hl=en)

Currently, there are two possible issues.
The person giving ou the loan may have access to any other data on your email account.
OR
You may use a recovery address/phone number to get back access of your gmail password by claiming it was hacked, and you could take back the collateral and default on the loan.

Transferring domains is non-reversible, much like BTC, as far as I know, so you could make it much safer for the lender by being willing to do that.

I think you should have gotten some messsage? Not completely sure.

But I think it would be considered off-topic for Gambling. The gambling section is normally reserved for gambling sites to launch their threads, and to an extent allows direct discussion of gambling.
It makes sense that your post would fit into Bitcoin Discussion/Press, but it generally would not fit in gambling as far as I know.
Mainly because a change in regulations on gambling in some specific region doesn't affect majority of gamblers using BTC.

This should likely be highlighted in bold in the first post.
It earns around 4 cents a day at the start, and if you put 6 months of effort into it (and you probably need a bit of skill/luck too, to get those referrals), you will end up with around 80 cents a day.

Seems pretty similar to most faucet strategies, except this seems to be immoral/likely against the ToS of a-ads.

You might want to check out epicnpc.com

I looked through a few offers there, and most of the places cost more than you for silver and GN ranks (but they offer higher ranks too)
You might find more people interested in CS:GO there.

Well, the details screen always allows you to provide details, and they always seem to be asking, but you don't have to give them.
Even if you are borrowing, you can give really few details, but you will get a "D" or "E" rating, making it much less likely to get a loan.

Huh!?

I have never provided any personal information to the site, except my email address.
You need to provide more bank information/social media/paystubs and things only if you are trying to improve the likelihood of getting a loan.

If you're only lending out to people, you don't need to give them any personal information to do so. Taking information from people who borrow makes sense in order to reduce the likelihood of them defaulting and increasing the likelihood of recompense.

The thing is, BTCJam puts in a lot of work trying to make it's users seem legitimate.
A lot of the users there are relevant, and the documentation is presumably, often real.

I had invested there back in 2013, and the fact that they are still running is testament to the fact that it is legitimate enough, and has enough people who do not default, for people to continue investing there.
