There's only one Red Alert and that's the original Command & Conquer by Westwood studios
Aren't you going to have trouble with possible copyright issues here?

Great question, I was wondering that as well after checking out the website's FAQ.

Where does the demand for Bitbox tokens come from exactly?

Done't get me wrong, it would be great if you could eventually deliver a finished product that will allow people to run full nodes easily.
I just don't quite see why people would want to do that for tokens that might not have any value.

That said, I'm sure that some people would just buy it regardless of any earnings, just because they want to run a full node without expecting profit for it.

All the sources I've checked mention that it's registered in Russia. Not that they're great sources, but I literally couldn't find any more information.
Checking the WHOIS of the domain does indicate that they're probably based in Russia

Here's the WHOIS, if anyone is interested:

Since you're talking about a coin that actually gives you an income, I'd suggest you try out Steemit.
Even with a relatively small stake, you can earn decently by investing in different bots.

If you're somewhat good at writing, you can also get earnings from that.

Check out my account to gauge what you could be earning. I'm by no means a whale, but I'm pretty happy with what I earn there.

For me the most important thing would be the actual trustworthiness of the website in question. I mean a sportsbook can have great features, but if it's not trusted, all those features still do not make it worth playing on.

Second is the speed of deposits and withdraws, I would only play if they were instant. I've gotten so used to just receiving my winnings immediately after I withdraw them, that I wouldn't want to miss that.

When it comes to sportsbetting, I do not really care if the website has a lot of bells and whistles, I just tend to make simple bets anyway, so there's no need for any special features for me.

Thanks for the response!

The fact that it's cross-platform is definitely a huge benefit over Seuntjies DiceBot, at least for the Mac and Linux users.
Also great that you're planning on making making scripts compatible with Seuntjies DiceBot, that should make it very easy to "import" existing strategies.

Do share your Github link one you open up the code! Cheers!

Quick question:

What's your exact business model here? Are you planning on charging a percentage of the total value of the transaction or a flat fee?
If so, how much?

While I generally agree with everything AdolfinWolf said, that doesn't mean that you couldn't build a successful niche.
I'm really not a fan of the name though, way too convoluted and the name doesn't fit the project. I agree with Kprawn on that.

Which platforms are you going to support? More than are currently available in Seuntjies DiceBot?
What are some features that your bot has, that Seuntjies DiceBot doesn't have?

The screenshot doesn't really show that much information. I assume you're also going to add some pre-made scripts?

It's pretty unbelievable that thhese banks have such huge amounts of leeway from the government.
I mean if you're caught doing any of this stuff as a regular citizen, you'll get caught in no time and the consequences will be pretty severe.

Yet these banks can just break the law willingly, without suffering any consequences for it.
Heck they're even bailed out by the government when they're going under due to their own mistakes.

I get that the government wants to prevent people's savings going up in smoke, but they should honestly just let them go down.

Come on... I don't believe for one second that this is true, unless it's in some backwards part of the world.
It's probably just meant as a joke or something or you're just talking out of your ass.

 

Low quality reply, I know, but there's nothing more to say about that...
I assume there's no cap on how much PLAY credits you can keep in your account. Maybe 999,999,999,999.999

Pffffft, I guess people might win more with PLAY credits, just because they tend to be more risky with them.

Not sure if this is the correct sub-forum, but I see that you've managed to write a decent post!
Especially considering it's your first one on the forum.

I see a lot of similarities between this and something like GRID, which rewards activity on BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing)
I'm personally not that keen on doing any price predictions, but I would certainly like something like this to succeed.

I mean, if you're using BOID purely from a philanthropical POV, you shouldn't really care about the price, right?

That's the thing with those coins that are being released purely to serve to 'better the world'. I don't think most of them are actually economically viable, but I'd actually like them to be and I would certainly invest in them personally.

I just don't think the world agrees

Good to see that there are other people who just buy lottery tickets with their 'small' wins.
I used to just buy lottery tickets with whatever I won with the faucet or with what I had received through the rainbot in chat.

That enabled me to occasionally win like 0.01 or 0.02 BTC without spending anything. (I did deposit as well, just for playing longer games of roulette, so I wasn't freeloading too much I think )

Now I wonder what the highest win on CG is, with PLAY credits. Like, has anyone ever won so much that they got like 0.01 BTC out of it?

People should really be using a decent password manager that creates random strong passwords.
Different ones for every site you use. Also, don't just blindly trust 2FA, because there are definitely ways around that (depending on what kind of 2FA the website uses)

I can definitely recommend Keepass, which is an awesome open-source password manager.
https://keepass.info/

2FA with a mobile phone number is insecure and you don't know what they use your phone number for.
Just look at what Facebook did with phone numbers it collected for their 2FA, sold them to advertisers... (source)

This article is pretty interesting, it lists all the pros and cons of different 2FA methods:

Oh yeah, you definitely should, if you're already posting there.
There are a lot of ways to get free Steem Basic Income shares, just check the SBI Discord.

If you want you can share your Steemit username, then I'll send you a couple of shares to start with.

Well, I'm actively using Steem Basic Income, which gives me around 1 dollar per day.
The thing is that you need to be an active blogger on Steemit for that and it also requires some investment, not it's not a typical form of basic income.

Aside from that, I can recommend joining Manna, since you do not have to do anything to receive a basic income, though it will definitely not earn you 10 dollars per month.
The price of manna has been steadily dropping, so it's worth almost nothing.

Closing this topic, since there doesn't appear to be any original discussion any more.
It would just attract more spam if I leave it up.

Also, I've decided that I'm not going to gamble any more at all, so now it's completely irrelevant.

Thanks to those who've made genuinely good replies!

Please, first of all, ask CryptoGames to disable your account and ban your IP address.
They will do that if you're a problem gambler, that would be a very good first step.

Second, get professional help as soon as possible. Instead of gambling one last time, please make an emergency appointment with a mental health specialist.
Do whatever you can to stop yourself from gambling again.

From Crypto-Games FAQ:


You still have more than enough money left to live very comfortably for a couple of years. Please seek something else that gives you the same sort of adrenaline rush, but isn't detrimental to your mental health and finances.

It's not that unusual that bounty managers eventually give up, especially since many campaigns seemed to have stopped after the forum added anti-spam measures like merit.
I think the market was over-saturated to begin with. Too many crappy spammy projects, which eventually even failed to pay out their bounties in some cases.

I think that the forum will attract other projects though, but let's hope that more serious campaigns start appearing.

Thanks! That Medium article really does explain everything quite well.
I think my questions will largely get answered by reading that

Will definitely ask you directly when I have any more questions and I'll share the article with you when it's finished.

Again, great job!
