1421  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Google has removed 49 cryptocurrency wallet browser extensions! Good move? on: April 16, 2020, 12:44:11 PM
Google has removed 49 cryptocurrency wallet browser extensions after a security researcher discovered they were stealing private keys. These Chrome extensions targeted users of crypto wallets, such as Ledger, Trezor.

What do you think of this move?


They were not the legit wallet but malicious extensions that looked like the original wallet but were a fake to steal private keys and coins of unsuspecting users. People installing these extensions for using it on dapps and dex were their target. No one would hesitate to input their private key in myetherwallet or tronlink but they don't realize its a fake one as it looks just the same.

Completed the 48 hours fast.
We made it through. The first thing that filled our otherwise digital time was food. We as a family had greater social interactions and all of it was like a camping inside home.

What is digital fast?

Giving up all digital devices for a short period of time, such as a day or up to a week.

Why digital fast?


There are many reasons why you might want to give up your mobile phone and other devices for a brief time. You might want to enjoy time to yourself without the interference that your phone and other devices create. In other cases, you might feel like your device use has become excessive and is adding too much stress to your life.

In some situations, you might even feel like you are addicted to your devices. While technology addiction is not formally recognized as a disorder in the DSM-5, many experts believe that tech and device overuse represents a very real behavioral addiction that can lead to physical, psychological, and social problems.

Signs You Might Need a Digital Detox


  • You feel anxious or stressed out if you can't find your phone
  • You feel compelled to check your phone every few minutes
  • You feel depressed, anxious, or angry after spending time on social media
  • You are preoccupied with the like, comment, or reshare counts on your social posts
  • You’re afraid that you'll miss something if you don't keep checking your device
  • You often find yourself staying up late or getting up early to play on your phone
  • You have trouble concentrating on one thing without having to check your phone

I'm going on a 48 hours digital fast starting from the time of this post. I'll not be using any electric or electronic devices including electric lights, digital heating/cooling, digital cooking device, switching off both electricity mains and phone/router connection.
I know It may seem extreme, but I need to make sure I'm in control of myself.

5G signals lies in between 600MHz to 86000MHz, i.e. in both radio wave and microwave frequencies, greater frequency than radio and TV signals but lesser than visible light.

1428  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Keypoint to watch in D-34 BTC halving: Miner's hashrate on: April 10, 2020, 03:35:34 PM
Hashrate is not a direct measure of bitcoin price but an increase in hashrate mostly means positive prediction from the miners. The generated bitcoins don't increase with the increasing hashrate and increasing hashrate means decreasing reward for the miners. Halving is another event that about halves the miners profit, if the price doesn't increase, the miners may go into loss after a halving.
1429  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin antifragile? on: April 10, 2020, 11:17:00 AM
No doubt crypto has became much more useful on every catastrophic situation locally or globally. The price is mostly decided by the market and on such situation, people would try to have as much cash in hand as possible to tackle the situation. The price decrease is not due to the nature of bitcoin. There's only one thing that could make bitcoin fragile and that is internet. The total dependence of bitcoin blockchain on the current internet may make it fragile when there are say a number of internet to choose from.

Hello guys and I hope you are all safe in your homes.

Ethan of Yolodice just opened the investment service once again.
Here is the link.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1674772.msg54188239#msg54188239

Quoted the message for the lazy ones. Just like me.  Grin
So, finally the investing is open again!
one-week 0% dilution fee

Yep, I've enabled investing a few minutes ago.

1. Right now you can invest in BTC, LTC and DOGE. ETH is coming soon.

2. Commission is based on wagered amounts (expected profit), not pure profit. The commission is 50% of the expected profit, so it's 0.5 BTC from every 100 BTC wagered (it's 0.5% of the wagered amount) is taken from the bankroll "live" (as bets happen). This means
  - no "commission runs" - the commission is taken in real time, which means your investments value is what you get when you close it,
  - if players lose more than "expected 1% of wagered", it's investors' gain

3. There will be new "dilution fee" of 1% or 2% (still not decided), but it will be enabled in a week (on 2020-04-16). If you invest now, you pay 0% dilution fee, but you'll receive your dilution profit from all investments opened after 2020-04-16.

4. There is no "leverage"  this time - the amount you invest translates directly to your share. It's so much simpler now.

5. During the competitions we'll pause your investments so that we can do "50% of site profit goes to prize pool".

If you have any questions I'll be happy to answer them.

Take care and cheers!
Ethan

Enjoy guys and have a safe quarantine. Don't forget to smile even with all the problems.

It's a good news that yolo has again started accepting bankroll. They were one of the most profitable investment with that kelly option.
There are other metrics that results in the rate of profit like how the investors are rewarded, the house edge, bankroll and volume of site.
For finding the best site to invest, study the total invested coin and total profit in somedays from https://dicesites.com/.

And it has nothing much to do with Toronto stock exchange. The company 3iQ created a fund tied to bitcoin and listed it on TSX for trading.
Though it would not directly led to bitcoin adoption, regular traders being introduced to volatility of bitcon linked fund would drag their interest to bitcoin trading itself.
1432  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wrong BTC Adress, copied from Binance's Dashboard on: April 10, 2020, 02:43:36 AM
That's why you always need to double check your address while making a transaction. The reason for email confirmation is also to prevent users from sending coins to unwanted address. Clipboard malware are a old and popular way people are scammed. Be sure you know all of the software and browser addons you have installed. Don't allow any access to websites unless you are completely sure. Keep your browser as addon/extension free as possible.
1433  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitstarz stealing money again and accuse people of being criminal.... on: April 10, 2020, 02:18:48 AM
The real issue seems to be using same IP to claim the welcome bonus twice. And though the support response looks harsh, it was mostly because they were already sure that it's the some who is pretending to be his father and using his credential to open an account. It's clearly a violation of the welcome bonus terms and you should be held responsible for that. If you were not comfortable with the terms of the casino, you should have not used them.
1434  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is your Satoshi theory? Deceased or alive & well on: April 09, 2020, 03:18:38 PM
Satoshi, whoever or whatever is had a clear intent to disappear even when it all started. Satoshi placed every of it's move very carefully remaining anonymous and clearing any track it would lead to him/her/it. There could be a few old bitcoin developers that may have some faint idea about what satoshi is or where is it from but most of them clearly don't know about satoshi.
1435  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: These Anti-KYC Stuffs Tiring Non-Techies Up on: April 08, 2020, 08:15:58 AM
I go with the same dilemma everyday. One of the reason why people don't want to verify their KYC is due to the uncertainty of crypto legality in the future. The current government in my country is democratic and okish but we can't be sure about the future as politics here is very uncertain. And if any government in the future banned crypto and intended to confiscate every crypto fund it's citizen have, we could be really doomed for having a verified KYC.
1436  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My record of information about gambling investments. on: April 08, 2020, 07:15:40 AM
Still there are very few people that are providing data about how the investments are going. There was a thread providing the periodical results for investment with different coins in crypto-games but that's discontinued now. This leaves people with little knowledge about what to expect from what sort of investments. Yolodice has stopped taking in investment but that's not reflected in most of the content and website there that may lead people to depositing to the site to find that there is no investment option if they don't research properly before.
1437  Economy / Speculation / Re: Analyst Proves Bitcoin's Price Not Bound to 4-Year Halving Cycles on: April 08, 2020, 03:36:39 AM
Any people can have any number of opinion and perspective to look at same amount of data. Bitcoin price does not follows any specific formula and it's price depends on a large number of factors, some controlled by the holders and some by other authorities and some are not in control of anyone. So, no one can prove anything as every of those study would have some shortcomings. There are many other studies that prove his study wrong. And that doesn't make them right either.
1438  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is USDT trusted to use? on: April 07, 2020, 11:51:10 AM
There are accusations about whether they hold the equal number of USD as a backup or are generating more coins than they hold. Except for that they are one of the most popular stable coin. They are supported by almost all of popular exchanges and wallets. They still have both of TRX and ERC token on supply and should be quite cautious about sending them in or out.
1439  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is KYC bad for crypto? on: April 07, 2020, 09:10:30 AM
There are different aspects to look while describing whether KYC are good or bad for crypto. Cryptocurrency are a new ways of storing and transferring data and value. And different people have different perception of crypto. Bitcoin and most of early crypto currency and some of newer ones are developed with anonymity and choice of privacy as the central intention. With many types of crypto in market and people utilizing it as a way to fundraise and invest made it a center for financial frauds and it's anonymity made it a tool of choice for criminals and terrorist that's why it keeps on having a hostility with the government and agencies who voice a KYC to be needed for people to transact crypto.
1440  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: CORONAVIRUS IMPACT ON SPORTS GAMBLING on: April 07, 2020, 03:53:47 AM
Some sports may come sooner than others. The ones with larger TV viewers and advertising revenue would probably start operating in empty fields while the ones that are depended on real viewers would need to wait at least till the end of the year.
The current situation would surely bring an economic depression, as in depression, the gambling could get a boost for just after they open but would be affected for year to come as people would have less money to spend on gambling.
