Have you told any gambling related lie before? Please share, let's read and have fun.

No I haven’t lied to anybody like that before.

Your story and the other guy’s tweet are pretty awful imo. I don’t know if you are still gambling like that but you should probably seek professional help. The other guy on twitter too. I see no difference between your story and locking yourself in a room and drink alcohol/smoking. See how it looks now? That’s what we call “having an addiction”

If gambling prevents you from doing your daily duties then gambling is not a fun event for you anymore. It became an addiction and it needs to be treated.
82  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think Bitcoin is fungible? on: April 23, 2024, 06:26:41 PM
If you can track its history, how can it be fungible? FIAT is not fungible too as every physical currency bill has a serial number on it. We usually think FIAT is fungible because nobody checks its serial number when they receive the money. So bitcoin can be fungible if the merchant doesn't care where your coins coming from.

Big companies, exchanges, banks are not careless like every day small business owners. They always track the history of the money you bring to them. If it is not possible to track it, then that's what I would call fungible.

Gold & Silver coins, Monero are indeed fungible as it is impossible to tell who owned them before. The problem with these is, they are dead currencies. Nobody is using monero, gold/silver coins to purchase something so the gov don't care about them.

It is not a surprise why the US gov going crazy on bitcoin mixers. Mixers ruin their job. People are using bitcoin a lot unlike gold/monero.

normal bir ülkede olsak evet haklı sayın bakan ama herkesin içine ettiği bir ülkeden bahsediyoruz. yoksa günlük hayattan nakit paranın kalkması güzel bir olay ama faizlerin yüksekliği kredi kartı masraflarını da artırıyor. gerçi benim berber 320 lira para alıyor. lan arkadaş 5 lira oradan ver işte bankaya ama yok o da olmaz. ülkedeki her türlü "kaçak"ı bitirdiniz de bu kaldı değil mi? lan 10 milyondan fazla kaçkını bu ülkeden göndersen yeter de nerede?

gerçekten bir iş yapacaksan bunu en büyükten başlayıp yaparsın. böylece insanlar senin ciddi olduğunu anlar ama o da nerede:)

Banka komisyonu 5% civarı. 5 değil 16 lira banka komisyonu masrafı çıkıyor kredi kartı ile çekim yapılınca. Çok mu fark etti ha 5, ha 16, ha 20 TL diyebilirsiniz tabii ki. Bir de esnaf genelde vadeli POS cihazı kullanıyor yani parayı 35-40 gün sonra hesabında görüyor. Bu şekilde aylık 100 bin TL çekimi olan birisi blokede beklettiği 100 bin tl için bankaya her ay 5 bin tl komisyon ödüyor. 5 bin tl de az para değil adamın gözüne batıyor işte. Niye ödüyorum bunu enayi miyim diye soruyor, kendine bir çıkış yolu arıyor.

Yüksek faizin getirdiği dertlerden birisi de bu. Yüksek faiz parayı ekonomiden çekip banka hesaplarına hapsediyor. Faizin getirisi enflasyon altında kalsa bile, insanlar para kazanmak için değil; -burası çok önemli- para kaybetmemek için paralarını bankada mevduat hesabında bekletiyorlar.

Parası mecburen blokede bekleyen esnaf da beklediği her gün için 5% ödüyor. Mevzu bu.

Esnaf 5% daha koysun fiyata müşteriye ödetsin diyebilirsiniz. Zaten sıkıntı da orada, adam yapabileceği zammın maksimumunu yapmış, daha gidebileceği yer yok fiyat yükseltme anlamında. O yüzden IBAN ile ya da nakit ödeme almak istiyor. Bu şekilde ödeme almakta da bir sakınca yok fiş fatura kesiliyorsa.

IBAN kiralama falan tabi bunlar riskli işler. Bunlar cezalandırılmalı kesinlikle. O IBAN'ı kimin kullandığını nereden bileceksin...
84  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will the number of new investors reduce? on: April 23, 2024, 10:00:17 AM
Always buy the rumors (or the hype), sell the news.

Since the hype/rumor is gone, there is nothing to talk about anymore. That means the interest on bitcoin will drop drastically till some other big random event happens. People already acknowledged that btc has 4-year cycles. The markets get hot when we get close to the halving and it cools off after a while.

Since this is a known event now, some investors might front-run it. They'll invest way earlier before the actual event takes place unlike what it happened till now. They probably did it in this current cycle too. I am not sure if we will be seeing $100k in the next couple of years.

Royse777, keep in mind that their withdrawal fee is quite high, for example, currently, it is 0.00288081 BTC. Although the staking funds are not locked, it is certainly not an option where you can withdraw funds whenever you want.


Withdrawal fees on blackjack.fun are dynamic. Like how it is on freebitco.in but as far as I know it never reached these high levels on freebitco.in. When I began participating in this sig camp the withdrawal fee was as low as 3-6k sats.

My payment has arrived and thanks for being so quick however the withdrawal fee is around 6k sats which translates to 4 bucks. It is 4.5% when we get the full payment $90 and a lot more when we make less posts.

I think that's a bit too much considering that most of us are not interested in keeping the funds on the casino. I've been in similar campaigns before and the manager talked to the casino owner and they decided not to charge  the campaign participants any withdrawal fees. Is there something you can do about it icopress?

edit: I just withdrew my coins and the fee was 2.5k sats ~$1.75. It is not huge but would be better if it was 0.

When I made my first withdrawal after getting my first payment, I only paid 2.5k sats. I have been staking them ever since and getting paid hourly. The spammer will get bored at some point hopefully and we will be able to do whatever we want with our coins.

Logical question then is from where that 15% comes from? I surely hope they are not doing anything risky with pepple's money.

There is a hard cap on the amount they need and that's 20 btc. (not per user, it is a site-wide limit) So they are spending 3btc every year to pay investors. Do you think they can't afford to pay it?

Since theymos broke my post after the recent updates about m-xers (It is not allowed to link to jamemba anymore), I decided to make this post a web app and created passivecryptoin.com.  Tongue
Maybe people will find the info there useful as they did here so I will continue to update this website as other opportunities become available.
I'll leave this topic open so the discussion can continue but new updates will be available on the website from now on because I don't want to get banned for providing links or any pics to jamambo.
I wanted to add some back-end capabilities too but I fucked it up somewhere in the code and it didn't work as I planned so... static is what we got now :p
87  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Only1 has raised $5 million to build an OnlyFans clone on Solana on: April 22, 2024, 05:16:26 PM
Maybe we will see a Only1 sig camp around here too hehehehe. Maybe they will get it right this time and we will get paid with content instead of coins hehehehe We have already another similar campaign going on which is ladies.de hehehe good looking cheerful women always bring positivity to wherever they go hehehe

OnlyFans was pressured by the authorities too much and they lost many customers already. Only1 wants to fill that gap. Smart move.
88  Economy / Economics / Re: What scares me from investing in gold. on: April 22, 2024, 10:16:44 AM
If you interested in having gold why not invest on a gold ETF
Physical gold is not worth the risk and with it's high price Now and difficulty in selling at market price
I don't see it been profitable
Gold rise lower than other stocks and buying at $2K doesn't mean you can sell at said amount but most likely lower.
Not to mention physical Gold can be stolen.

When you are investing in gold, only physical matters. Good luck getting your phys from paper gold assets during market turmoils. Yes it is hard to keep phys gold safe and you shouldn’t be buying it if that’s the case. Phys gold obviously has other problems too. It is hard to convert your phys gold back to USD and you get ripped of when you do it. People buy gold because when shit hits the fan, none of these problems will matter because when that happens, the only problem you’ll have will be not having enough of it and you need to have them in your possession. If you can’t lick it, you don’t own it.
89  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Streaming community are getting worst!!! on: April 22, 2024, 06:16:58 AM
They sell their dignity in order to promote gambling, maybe because the offer is too good for them to refuse, but the concept of them abandoning their dignity and ignoring the fact that they could have a bad influence on their viewers,

Bruh, do you realize you are also wearing a casino signature and avatar? When you say they are abandoning their dignity to get paid by the casinos, it makes me confused.

To many people, gambling is part of life just like eating and drinking. I don’t see any problems with streamers that promote casinos. Are they doing anything illegal? No.

Ethical and moral? These concepts don’t have the same meaning everywhere. In some countries drinking alcohol is completely illegal. In some others you can only drink after you turn 21.
90  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [Apr 2024] Fees are HIGH, wait for opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs on: April 22, 2024, 06:08:44 AM
Bitcoins still works flawlessly, as I said attack or whatever you call this the protocol is not affected, transactions happen, confirmation happens, blocks are getting mined, Bitcoin can't be brought down by this thing and it will never be! The moment trust starts to go away so will the transactions, so will high fees, and everything will be back as it was and trust will be back again!

I wouldn’t call that “flawless” since being able to make cheap transactions was one of bitcoin’s core features for years and now it is not here anymore.

Do bitcoin execute the code flawlessly? Yes it does. But eth did execute its code flawlessly too and then vitalik didn’t like it so it was forked.

What I am trying to tell you is that executing the code flawlessly doesn’t mean it is working perfectly or more importantly, properly. They are not the same concepts.
91  Other / Archival / Re: Exchanging crypto to fiat. I need a new system. on: April 21, 2024, 02:44:07 PM
If you can't find any services that takes your btc without doing any KYC, you can try bitrefill.

https://www.bitrefill.com/

Bitrefill is a giftcard provider which takes your crypto and doesn't require you do any KYC. Since we almost always top our mobile phone or buy stuff from amazon and similar retailers, getting giftcards are almost as good as having FIAT.  Their margin is like 10% on the product I am looking at right now. It is not the lowest but it is better than nothing I guess. Maybe use it as a temporary solution till you find a better deal.
92  Economy / Economics / Re: Your aging and retirement plan is your responsibility. on: April 21, 2024, 02:38:15 PM
Most people don't think about planning their future when they are young and then they get very sorry later on. Everybody should plan their own retirement program and manage their own retirement fund. Our parents don't teach anything about it because they didn't need it and schools don't mention it because it is not in their interest. If you realized this when you are young, then you are pretty lucky because you have a long life ahead and that means you have much time to plan your future. A diversified portfolio of crypt & stocks will do wonders in 10 years. When your portfolio grows bigger, you can even add bonds and real estate to strengthen it. Remember, take more risks when you are younger and less risks as you get older.
93  Other / Meta / Re: Introducing scammers to the forum. on: April 21, 2024, 04:54:04 AM
Sometimes people fall for very obvious scams. It happens all the time. Just because you see through these scams doesn’t mean everyone is capable of doing so. There are many people without proper education or experience who read bitcointalk. These people will believe whatever they are told.

“Hey, have you got scammed? Too bad. You are lucky doe, I can save your funds. Give me 0.1btc and I’ll get your funds back to you in 24 hours.”

Boom.

A proposition like this exploits the weaknesses of the victim. He plays to his desperation and then providing fake a hope and a solution. (For a price)

Some of these victims might think it is the same guy who stole his funds. So they believe these scammers, only to get scammed one more time.
94  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [Apr 2024] Fees are HIGH, wait for opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs on: April 20, 2024, 04:50:54 PM
Look on the bright side, if btc overcomes this attack, it will become even stronger. If btc gets destroyed like this, then it would mean btc never had any chance to start with. Hopefully the spammers will run out of sats and btc will keep moving on. Otherwise this doesn't look good. An asset with 1.2 trillion USD market cap will leave a crater on the markets if it goes down like that. I don't think the spammers will win. Btc will  survive this mess like it always has done. Still though, even if the fees go back down to the (more) reasonable levels, btc will still stay expensive probably and that will keep driving away new people.
95  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: No gambling today due to bitcoin high transaction fee. on: April 20, 2024, 03:59:34 PM
This is only for gamblers who use bitcoin as the payment method, how is going today? Who among us here can still afford to gamble?

Have you thought about using another coin? Litecoin and Doge are available on almost every casino nowadays. Price-wise litecoin has been very stable and its transactions are probably one of the cheapest. Bitcoin used to be cheap and fast but that's not been the case for a while.


https://bitcoinfees.net/

Right now according to bitcoinfees.net, the price for getting in the next block is more than a hundred bucks. That's crazy. Nobody should torture himself like this. $100 big money even for a fairly rich person.

It looks like several Raspberry Pi. What is the CPU/RAM?

I do not know the origins of the image but am curious about it and what it is supposed to denote. What sort of concurrent user number could that sort of device really handle as per what seem to be limited physical capabilities regardless of whether it had the best uptime connection?


It is a random pic I found on google :/

You can actually host a basic website on it. I have done a similar project myself before. It is probably powerful enough to handle a hundred visitors at the same time  Tongue The fartwind of a DDOS will crash it.
97  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have you stopped using bitcoin for small transactions completely ? on: April 19, 2024, 04:42:23 AM
Yep. Btc isn’t good for buying a cup of coffee or making small donations anymore. Litecoin is the king of small purchases now. If you check binance, the withdrawal fee for litecoin is only 0.0001 ltc, that’s $0.008. You could send $1 worth of ltc and only pay below a cent to make that transaction.

I think transacting with btc only makes sense when you are sending big amounts. Like $1000 or more. For everything else, ltc is ready for duty.
98  Other / Meta / Re: Mixers to be banned on: April 19, 2024, 03:58:34 AM
…

I hate to be the one to tell you this but since you took it this far, you left me no choice.

It was a joke. Of course I know it is not possible to host a big project on a toy. I thought you would figure if you read twice but you didn’t.

Also, another thing you failed to understand is:

Blackhatcoiner probably has the necessary h4x0r skillz for the job.
I already know that this username was a bad choice. You don't have to remind me.  Tongue

As @BlackHatCoiner commented, I will believe you are living up to your name by saying this.


Here, in this post, he meant his own nick name. Not mine. Read his nick.

What do you see?  Black hat coiner. Blackhat=baad.

You know there are 2 kind of hackers in the world. Blackhat and whitehat. And when I called him a “hacker” that’s when he said it was a bad idea to pick this nickname.

Get it now?

If you didn’t, ain’t my problem anymore. I don’t like it when I’m forced to explain my jokes because then I realize it is not funny anymore, more like it is getting dangerous. :d
99  Other / Meta / Re: Mixers to be banned on: April 18, 2024, 06:46:58 PM
Umm... What else do we need? Interwebz, raspberry pi, an admin...

3 amp adapter? (I heard 2A ain't cutting it anymore)

Firstly, I have doubts that a raspberry can handle the amount of data that is processed on a site like Bitcointalk.
Second, you need to have a dedicated circuit or dedicated IP.
Third, you needed to have a stable enough internet connection to ensure that the site is always online.

Among other things. See some photos of server locations to get some ideas of what a site like this involves.




So you are saying this server would fail?

I am not sure mate. I think this set up looks pretty capable but I ain't no expert on serverz and shiet. I only know B1 level Javascript and some A2 level node.js.

This is going to work on solar too. A 100w fold-able panel will keep this baby up for a loong time.

enough from me, i'm leaving this topic

As @BlackHatCoiner commented, I will believe you are living up to your name by saying this.

I am not sure if you understand what's really going on here but ok. Maybe read blackhath4x0r's post again?

Keeping a website running is not simply having a simple computer connected to the internet, there is much more involved. Especially a site like BitcoinTalk.

Umm... What else do we need? Interwebz, raspberry pi, an admin...
