This is not okay, in any way. This is not what Bitcoin was meant to be, and we cannot let this be the future.

It's anonymous, for the most part. It's quick and easy. I feel much more fully in control of my money.

There is no way to make money out of the gambling site if you are not the owner of it and there is no successful strategy for it as all games have house edge

If you read the title of this thread, and watch the video - the idea behind this script is to make small amounts each time, and make small gain. It is not intended to make you rich fast, but you will make a few coins out of it.

No, you are promoting (and selling) something that is a mathematical impossibility.  You can't turn a -ev bet into a +ev bet just by using a magical combination. 

Actually the script is based on statistics, as long as you keep the margin small, statistically the script will win. Check the video and see for yourself.

You are lying. It is statistically impossible to win longterm at a -ev game. Statistically, the script will lose and you have 0 facts to present otherwise unless you have found a flaw or exploit in the game.

Those laws sound really, really stupid, and while I can see where they are coming from, are doing completely the wrong thing. What if some college kid needs to unlock their computer to turn in their final essay, or else they fail the class and don't get their degree? It's still a crime then?

The problem with skill-based games, especially website based skill games, is that bots are incredibly easy to create for it. This seems like a thing where I write a bot, put it on a server close to yours and let my script run.

These are not worth nearly this amount. Anyone with a fair amount of javascript knowledge can create a node.js bot for steam-related trading, made extremely easy by the libraries already out there.

This is a very interesting concept, and it could be a new way of decentralized decision making. At the very least it's a good start.

I don't know what state or country you're in,

Chicago.

Illinois.

USA

I've sold bitcoins to (and bought bitcoins from) cops, lawyers, judges, and politicians.
I think he's just talking about the ones in Florida that apparently just try to get you arrested because some cops are dicks.

I get all good reviews from my actual customers. A couple of other local dealers took the liberty of leaving me negative reviews even though we have never done business. Also it seems like half the trade requests I get are from cops so I ignore almost all of them. It's a toxic marketplace that can bring trouble your way, so I barely use it.

You have cops that send you requests? How do you know that they are cops? I haven't been here in a while, but refresh my memory, it's not illegal, right?
I got about 5-10 different requests for bitcoins for ransom ware, not half of all my requests so I was exaggerating, but they are obviously fishing for bitcoin dealers. Only cops explicitly tell you things like that.
You mean like drug dealers? Your wording is confusing me. So selling bitcoins isn't illegal, right?
Ransomware is when a hacker takes over your computer and demands bitcoin. Selling bitcoins to victims of ransomware is 100% illegal. Selling bitcoins when there's no obvious crime is not illegal, just grey area.

Is buying bitcoins to pay for ransomware illegal as well? It should be, and if it is not then the law is retarded.
I would assume that if it's illegal to sell for that reason, that it's also illegal to buy them for that reason.

Distribution of power is needed. It is needed in bitcoin's development and it is needed in it's communities. We can't have 3 people (Gavin, Hern & Theymos) running everything. This is why I am more towards core (more developers), and I do support a blocksize increase but not the way Gavin and Hearn are trying to do it. Theymos should hand off r/bitcoin to someone else for the good of bitcoin. He'll still have bitcointalk, which is way cooler than reddit anyways  Cool
That's the way I think most of this site thinks, we need a blocksize increase, but XT is awful and we CANNOT adopt it.

True, but just because they're unsubscribing doesn't mean that they don't look at it still, or that they won't go back later.

Oh okay, I wasn't aware that selling to victims of ransomware was illegal. I do hate ransomware with a burning passion though, and I feel incredibly sorry for anyone that's affected by it.

I also think that theymos should not be the mod, not because he might not be fit, I don't care to discuss opinions on that, but just because he already controls this website.

Theymos controls Bitcoin discussion.  People are scared about mining, developer centralization?  What about the community discussion? The place we come to the conclusions that effect everything.  Realize in a consensus based economy, communication is #1.... So centralization of ANY other aspect of Bitcoin stems directly down from the places people are using to build opinions and voice concerns.  Communication is everything, and if it's going to be filtered, future consensus is already fucked.

Truly a shame at best what is happening here as we speak.

Exactly. I just hope people will migrate to other platforms so it will decentralize discussions once and for all.
The scary part is that I highly doubt that's going to happen. This place has been THE place for all discussion, *maybe* the subreddit.

Lame, I didn't get anything. Sad

Not only was the giveaway on my primedice birthday, I also thought I wrote a pretty good review.  Why no love for the tsp?

same here. maybe they dont want red trusted users to get some coins from this giveaway. heh.

Didn't they say something about not having negative trust? Or maybe I'm just remembering wrong.

1277  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Your first bitcoins came from.. (faucets aside) on: August 17, 2015, 02:40:26 AM
I bought my first bitcoin from localbitcoins. And I joined signature campaigns and started to multiply my bitcoins, though lost few of them in Gambling, but recovered in the next. But Signature campaign is the good way to earn bitcoins and today I already have more then 3 BTC in my wallet. So now dreaming to make it 6 as soon as possible. Cheesy

It's very interesting to see that many signature / faucet whatever users tend to gamble. I wonder why?

My guess is because early on a lot of those earnings from the sig campaigns went straight to the user's account on the gambling site, and that made it much easier to gamble.

1279  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Whats your favorite game? on: August 17, 2015, 01:13:43 AM
I don't like games based on luck. I prefer games based on skills. You can eliminate all kinds of dice games. Cheesy

Good luck finding skill based gambling games. Doesn't that remove the part of gambling that makes it...a gamble?
1280  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory not recognizing that bitcoind is still catching up on: August 17, 2015, 12:43:41 AM
I now have a new problem, Armory is reporting that it is online and connected, but that my balance is 0, which I know it is not. After opening bitcoin core, it says it is catching up, that it is 40 weeks behind in importing blocks from disk. Could this be caused by armory downloading the bootstrap but bitcoind not having fully integrated it yet? Once bitcoind catches up, will I need to rescan, rebuild and rescan, or redownload the entire blockchain from armory? I'm thinking that I will just need to rescan, or that I might not even have to, that once bitcoind gets up to the point I received my coins that it will show up in Armory.

Could use help.
