I've just found this project: https://lendoit.com/I don't think they're actually up and running yet, but according to their website they should have a beta app ready in Q3 of 2018. No idea if they're ever going to launch though, I've not heard of this project before. Also this: https://ethlend.io/#/mainAgain, I have no experience with them. |

It has really become a cycle in this forum.
First you see Bitcoin going towards another ATH; everyone is positive
Then you'll see it dropping; people are still optimistic, mentioning that it'll probably go up again in
Drops even further, reaching lows that we haven't seen since when the previous bull run started; People jump ship and post threads saying that Bitcoin is dead.
Rinse and repeat.

That seems like an unreasonable risk to be taking, thinking you will have a huge chance in the long run. At the end of the day, you will still end up on the wrong side of gambling which is loss. Mathematically it is possible to win a huge amount if and only if you have a huge bankroll, actually infinite bankroll and the maximum bet payout from the house is also infinite. Both of these in real life and impossible and ideal situations that wont exist. So even if you try to run it anyway you want after some greens reds will follow. Its not important to run a strategy and in fact there is no guaranteed winning method in games of chance, rather its important to manage your bankroll properly. Even with a huge bankroll, you won't last very long with Martingale. I think you're grossly underestimating the prevalence of losing streaks, it's not too rare to see a 10+ turns losing streak. Then couple that with the fact that you're taking pretty significant risks, just to win ver small amounts of profit each time. Yeah, I'm not a fan of Martingale personally. |

--SNIP-- Then I discovered Vegas Casino & compare the T &C The minimum withdrawal amount is 0.002 BTC (2 mBTC) The casino reserves the right to carry out additional KYC verification procedures for any withdrawals exceeding the equivalent of 1 Bitcoin . The casino reserves the right to apply a wagering requirement of at least 5 (five) times the deposit amount if we suspect the player is using our service as a mixer. Safe to said I choose Vegascasino over the other one Huh, why would you play at such a casino? You know there are even better options, right? The fact that they can impose a 5X wagering requirement on deposits without applied bonuses is just way too strict IMO. Plus, they can just ask for KYC for high payouts? You have enough other casinos that don't impose such rules at all. |

You can only tax everything to a certain extent before people go out and literally start revolting.
Look at France for God's sake. It's already the country with the highest tax pressure in Europe and now they're taxing gasoline even more.
Want people to opt for more environmentally friendly solutions? Maybe start by giving tax-breaks for those purchases, instead of overly taxing the polluting alternatives.
This has nothing to do with blockchain whatsoever, you've just been drinking the ICO kool-aid.

How can someone that had been very silence for years suddenly make an appearance now? It's very obvious it wasn't him/her, just a random person trying to persuade the community as usual.
Isn't not because he has been silent up until now that he can't come back. Unless he's dead that is... I would say that the longer he stays silents, the more unlikely it becomes that he will resurface, but we could very well see the real Satoshi popping up in the future. That message on p2pfoundation obviously wasn't him though. And neither is Craig Wright, oh boy, I hope nobody ever believes that story  |

Instant means the site has a hotwallet in case of Bitcoin and I can understand for security they can't store so much funds on i. that's also for our protection.
Yeah, I would completely understand that they can't have too many funds on a hotwallet, but they should be able to pay anothing under like 0.5 BTC instantly. I know that on Crypto-Games bigger amounts are usually also processed instantly, I think they've posted some stats about their hotwallet somewhere but forgot where. |

The crypto industry has the urge to purge amid the prolonged bear market. The latest victim is ETCDEV, a major Ethereum Classic development team that launched in 2016.
Igor Artamonov, the founder and chief technology officer of ETCDEV, announced that the group is shutting down due to lack of funds.
“As is publicly known, we have struggled with funding our operation in the last few weeks,” Artamonov wrote on Twitter.” This was partially due to the market crash, combined with a cash crunch in the company.”
Source: https://www.ccn.com/crypto-downturn-claims-another-victim-ethereum-classic-dev-team-etcdev-shuts-down/Well, this is definitely going to be a serious blow to the development on Ethereum Classic. I suspect that it'll grow a lot slower, now that development is fully in the hands of the community. And again the reasons given are 'lack of funds due to bear market'. I would think that these companies would build some sort of a war-chest for times like these. I mean everybody knows that bear markets are bound to happen some day. |

Ever since I gambled at cryptocurrency casino's that offered instant withdraws, I haven't used any other online casino that imposes 'reviews' on payouts.
I'm wondering if other people still play at online casinos where they have to wait for days before their withdraw is processed.
Why would you even play at such a casino?
They usually even encourage you to cancel your withdraw, to keep you playing. Seems somewhat manipulative to me... Why would anyone support that?

This thread is really funny. Been in his campaign for over 1.5 years and there was never a single delay in the payments. Has anybody ever considered that the owners of the campaign could equally be at the fault by not sending payments to him on time? Just going around tagging a respected member without solid proofs is not needed to be honest. Like you can consider Crypto-games.net campaign managed by him and there wasn't any delay till date?
That's not exactly true, see my reply on this other thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5074962.msg48486945#msg48486945Look, I personally trust Lutpin because he has given me no reason to distrust him. That doesn't mean he can't make mistakes though. If I was a member of the Bitblender campaign, I probably would have been somewhat pissed if payments were delayed for such a long time. In the end it's the campaign manager's responsibility to communicate these sorts of issues to the participants. Now, I do want to add that aside from this issue, he has a great track record. Mistakes like these can be forgiven in my opinion. He did give an update eventually & we don't know how much of this was due to Bitblender. |

Interesting it seems like Lutpin is only having trouble to campaigns he is managing where he also handles the payments for it but it seems like his other campaign, Crypto-Games, is receiving the all their recent payments smoothly as DogeMachine is the one processing the payments for the campaign. He might be having some trouble on managing the campaigns he is also managing the payments. But on his latest post he announced that he will be handing over the management of the campaign to another campaign manager, I just hope that the participants will receive all their back pay. A couple of weeks ago payment was later than usual as well. Should have been paid on Saturday, but was eventually paid the next Monday. This for two weeks in a row. Nobody really noticed because we (the participants) didn't complain. I just figured that there might have been some problem, but I was sure that it would be fixed in time. It was in the beginning of November when this happened btw. Edit: Just wanted to add that from then on, everything was paid in time. I personally have no reason to distrust Lutpin or Crypto-games. |

As a Dutch speaker, I can confirm that those translations are pure and utter crap.
The sentence structure is just plain bad, I even think Google Translate would do a better job than this.
Which projects has he cheated? Might be worth contacting them so they can remove those translations.
If I saw a website or service with that sort of Dutch, I'd distrust them immediately.

Instant money is the biggest lure for people due to which everyone tries their luck in gambling. Some are sensible and if they know it is not going to be easy to win from gambling move away or just play for fun and other who cannot control them self help the casinos owners to make them money as they keep losing normally and still anticipate of winning big and continue playing it.
Yes, there could be thousands of reason for getting addicted to gambling but if we go for depth analysis, we can find out that sticking with gambling continuously is the only reason for intensively getting addicted. There could be different reasons for every gambler for sticking with gambling but all the reasons will definitely lead to getting addicted finally. Even people who are realizing what they are doing, getting addicted over time as they are engaging themselves into gambling continuously. Mostly gamblers are searching for some reason to stick within gambling. This is kind of justifying their actions but they are ruining their health and wealth once they get addicted. Anything will cause addictions hence the reason is not important but not staying with gambling for more times, is the only solution to avoid getting addicted with gambling. I'm not too sure if this statement is entirely correct. I bet that there are lots of people who've gambled their entire life without getting addicted whatsoever. How many people buy weekly lottery tickets? Would you say that they're addicted to gambling? Even if they spend the same amount of money every week and it does not cause them harm in any way? It's almost impossible to make these kinds of generalized statements, you'll always have people that have a completely different reaction to long-term exposure. |

The only thing that can be done about that is basically give better counterarguments to refute those claims. Using a lot of electricity is not inherently bad for the environment, it all depends where the electricity comes from. Instead of focusing on reducing power consumption, why not tackle the root of the problem and focus on making energy generation more environmentally friendly? Here's an interesting article: https://hackernoon.com/bitcoins-energy-consumption-overblown-31a4eded91f3In essence, the Bitcoin protocol has been designed to decrease energy consumption over time. For example, in 2009 the CPU’s used to mine Bitcoins used 1 million times more energy than the current ASICs. These Bitcoin miners will continue to find ways to operate more efficiently and employ cheaper energy available to them, like hydroelectric plants and renewable energy resources.

The question now is how far will the 2018 correction go? Can it go to zero?
this is not a correction anymore. this is more of a manipulation and because of that you can not predict its bottom. but the only thing you can be sure about is that no matter how strong the whales who are manipulating the price are, they will never be able to crash the market as much as bringing it to 0. Do you really think this is price manipulation? I would think that the price is currently dropping, just because there are man,y people and institutions shorting Bitcoin. Everything changed since Bitcoin futures were introduced. When was it? A little over a year ago, right? Give me some proof of actual market manipulation, otherwise it's just as believable as any sort of conspiracy theory. |

i don't know about the US taxes on bitcoin gambling, but as the sites is on internet and we are playing gambling in internet, i think the US government is not applying taxes for bitcoin gambling. i am not sure about this because i don't live in the US, but if we doing buy and sell in coinbase, i think the taxes will be applying when we want to make depost or withdraw the money. better to ask the third party service that help us to do buy and sell bitcoin so we can understand about the taxes.
As long as you are gambling from US country and gambling site is based on it. It requires a tax because this involves money. It is stated on their laws. Not sure about the specific law. That's why online gambling is illegal because they are evading tax and they operate without the permission of government. I don;t think online gambling is illegal, there are quite a lot of online gambling sites within the USA. The US are really open to gambling compared to every other country out there. So, I guess online gambling is really legal there. The problem is really just about taxing them, I don't think gamblers have to pay any tax in playing. That would be absurd. I agree, there are loads of sites which are licensed in the US and they are all taxable if you come out with profit. Even if the site is from another country, as long as you are earning a substantial amount, it will be taxable income. There is no tax involved if you don't win anything or just plainly lose your funds. Really? I mean I thought that it was practically impossible to gamble online legally in most states. Here's a map that shows where it's legal to gamble: https://www.playusa.com/us/ That said, it's not because it's not regulated that the IRS can't tax you. I'd either invest a lot into playing anonymous or report any winnings. |

I’d highly recommend you add in a tab to use emojis in the chat box of your casino. Emojis are a great way for chatters to convey emotion, and I like to use them whenever possible, especially when I’m trying to do something for entertainment like in gambling. I don’t use the chat box of casinos often, but it’s always interesting to speak to other people online and talk about their experiences on the site.
Adding emojis in the chat box can be another good advice because people want to express their feeling in the chat. Perhaps, activating private chat for each member will be a good suggestion too because they can share something privately. But I guess that you can find more functionalities in the admin chat setting, or you can modify from the source. But you need to try by yourself to use the chat box, so you know what more to be added in the chat box. I don't know if that's such a good idea actually, since they would probably be spammed quite a lot. That's just personal preference though, most chats on gambling websites aren't known for their deep discussions anyway. |

Maybe try and watch some long-term charts instead of focussing just on the 2018 ones? All I'm seeing is steady growth. Sure, use of Bitcoin as a payment processor can be greatly improved upon, but we're on the right track for that. Disruptive new technologies like Bitcoin take years, even decades to fully mature. It's still way too soon to say whether it has failed or not. Edit: Just a few months ago you were saying this: Yeah it is really true that cryptocurrency is always risky but it is still worth it especially for those who take the risk. For those who feared about cryptocurrency then well just let them be because they dont know how much worth to enjoy the moment you take the profit though it might also end up losing on some of your money yet investing in a smart way could be successful like buying crypto when market price has fallen and sell it when market price is high. |
