201  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: List of Gambling Platforms with Issues. on: June 28, 2020, 04:20:22 PM
Good that you have put up a list here. Although some did mention that you can put it on scam accusations for these kinds of sites, well I would put them on there if the said websites also deal with cryptocurrency and bitcoin. But also I would agree to put this on Gambling discussion because obviously this is a "Gambling discussions" forum and this has something to do with gambling. So I don't really mind. But mind you there are a lot out there so the community needs to help out here also by putting those - with evidence. Don't just accuse without proof. So be careful if you have a grudge of a certain site and you want to get even, make sure you have the ammo to prove them wrong.
Actually many of these would probably be already listed in the scam accusations sections and moreover only a few people do visit that part of the forum, OP did a great job posting this comprehensive list in the gambling discussions forum as it will help a lot of people now because they will already know which sites aren't trusted enough and on which websites you can blindly trust. Also the OP should update the thread regularly in the future because many a times these are only short term problems being faced by the customers, once resolved they should be removed from the list.
202  Economy / Economics / Re: China’s digital yuan could replace bitcoin & end US dollar hegemony on: June 27, 2020, 07:13:13 PM
I do not agree that digital yuan can replace bitcoin and US Dollar, because there are no benefits that can be obtained by using digital yuan.
I am sure that only Chinese citizens will be using the digital yuan. Besides, it is not possible for many people to believe in China is a communist
and money-oriented country, after all bitcoin and US Dollar are more trusted by many people than digital yuan.

In addition to Chinese citizens, the digital yuan, as before the Fiat yuan, will be used as the reserve currency of other countries. Although the government's decision to devalue the yuan has repeatedly led to such States losing money. This is what will not put the digital yuan on a par with the dollar.
Also there are always trust issues with the Chinese government, now US is against China and is also directing other countries against China. So there will be an acceptibility issue of digital Yuan outside of China but in their own country this will surely replace paper money as already Chinese people are using digital payment methods than any other country in the world and that too just with their own domestic payment processors. I also agree with you that it will not replace US dollar not even in the long run.
203  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Does Bitcoin Have Value? on: June 27, 2020, 06:03:05 PM
Because Bitcoin and other digital currencies have been touted as alternatives to fiat money

There are a lot of alternatives of Fiat money, for example visa, PayPal etc. But the reason of popularity of bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies is that they provide us decentralized methods of payment while remaining anonymous this is the reason why the Crypto is popular amongst the masses and is having value that is always increasing. People are also using Crypto to hide their wealth from prying eyes.
204  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never Before Experience On Gambling...!!!! Stay Safe. on: June 27, 2020, 04:33:06 PM
Gambling is a pastime, and it should stay that way. You gamble because you have extra cash and you want to experience some thrill in making a profit out of sheer luck (and some skills in some games). If you gamble and it is already affecting may points in your personal life, then for me that is no longer gambling but an addiction and it needs to be treated like any forms of addiction. Stay away from addictive gambling. Just gamble to enjoy and a moment and not to get hooked with it.
Gambling is always a fun activity if you are in it for passing some time in this lockdown but if you are indeed in it for making profit or you are having addiction then you should stop right now because it really can destroy your life and of other family members too. I myself play in online casinos for fun and also invite my other friends to play also, in the lockdown online casinos would have made huge amount of profits because all the people who used to go to casinos would now be choosing online casinos.

What will be the solution for this?
How we can help our government on this current circumstances?
Does bitcoin or any digital currency could help?
Since there’s still no solution of the current situation we should protect ourselves and our families at all cost.  We can help the government by following the protocol and not breaking any rules all they are doing right now is for our own safety. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency could probably help this time, by using it as payment ‘no contact, no virus’.
All you gotta do is follow 3 guidelines, wear face mask and follow social distancing and use sanitizers and there won't be a casuality in your family if you strictly follow these rules. People tend not to follow all these rules outside of their private space and Sir to which they also get infected of this deadly virus. I have been following these rules and also going out on a daily basis to my work place and till now I am save even though the cases in my city are constantly rising.
206  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possibleTrump Will Prohibit Bitcoin? on: June 23, 2020, 04:31:53 PM
President Trump's attitude, which tends to be anti-Bitcoin, has raised the discourse that he could forbid the ownership of Bitcoin for citizens of the United States (US) in the future.

This discourse is based on two possibilities, namely Trump's tweet in 2019, that Trump is not a Bitcoin lover and second is a recognition of Trump's similar attitude, as stated in the book by John Bolton, a former White House security adviser.

Responding to the discourse of a possible ban on Bitcoin ownership, many people say the most likely action is an aggressive step by the government in dealing with laundering crimes related to Bitcoin and other crypto assets. Direct banning seems impossible, because Bitcoin is practically outside the structure of the country.
It is impossible to ban bitcoin in the US, already there are many big companies are already established there and it will be a big mistake of the Trump administration if they does so as in the coming future there will be a lot of taxes that will be paid by the people when bitcoins gets popular and there will be new jobs too due to this industry, but if he bans Crypto directly then all those gains won't happen and everyone knows that currently the unemployment rate is immensely high in the US. Also even if Trump bans Crypto then also people will still find a way to use get over that ban and use bitcoins, so no worries.
207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to spot a scam ? on: June 23, 2020, 03:53:22 PM

If you landed at a casino and unsure why you landed to it, you might just think twice and ask whether anyone had ever been playing in that casino.
You are already in the forum so you might as well ask the people around in the forum whether they can recommend playing. Chances are many will answer you what they think about the casino.
You can also search on Google for reviews and also on Youtube to see a few videos and check their views and comments and also on reddit. Also for a good casino they must be having high followings on social media and also there engagement rates will be good, if not then it is a red flag and should deposit with caution. Also if you are depositing on the website for the first time, try depositing small amounts and after a few wins try to withdraw, if the money arrives then that website is good to go.
208  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Advantages of Bitcoin Recognized by Land Rover on: June 22, 2020, 05:27:30 PM
They don't mean anything to it as they only shows a historic timeline where bitcoin is included, of course it will coz reaching a $20,000 in price as a " bubble" asset is seen as an impossible event. They only show the mere fact that bitcoin is recognizable as a variable in the future. I guess bitcoin unlocked the tech innovation for digital payments, it will be only great if Land Rover itself adopted blockchain/cryptocurrencies somewhat on their car features. Uhmmm unlocking a door using private key or seed phrase Huh
The unlocking thing isn't adaptable in unlocking the door as it should be quick enough because no one will wait and type their private key in order to unlock their car, instead they should accept payment in cryptocurrencies for their services like autoparts, servicing for vehicles or maybe purchasing of new vehicles and that would be awesome or maybe add a bitcoins wallet in their factory made cars so as to give publicity to cryptocurrencies. This will be innovative and also feasible, as if a person doesn't want to use that wallet then he can leave it as it is, but the same can't be said in case of unlocking the doors of car with private keys.
209  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does this Pandemic intensifies the usage of Bitcoin? on: June 22, 2020, 04:37:52 PM
We are all still currently experiencing the effect of pandemic and most of us do still tend to stay at home to avoid getting infected by the virus.

My question is that does this pandemic intensifies the usage of Bitcoin knowing that physical or paper money might also be a carrier of the virus once pass on hand might caught droplets bringing the virus from a certain individual.

Using Bitcoin provides cashless experience that we know safer with this pandemic so, does this means that people will tend to use Bitcoin at this time or still into fiat?
In today's time people are having a lot of options to pay digitally which are centralized as well and are certified as safe to use by the banks, but about bitcoin not every common people know. So they tend to go towards the things accepted by the masses and that is PayPal, gift cards and other digital payment methods instead of using cryptocurrencies.
But in future there will be a time when the world would be completely ruled by digital payments and there will be a cashless society.
210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Physical Casinos Decoded : on: June 22, 2020, 03:58:01 PM
Two things they will pamper you to the point that you will miss all the pampering and how they take care of you, when you are not playing, second, they will make you feel at home, and make you feel that you do not be want to be anywhere else but the casinos, if you already feel that way, well that's the time that they are going to make money from you.
Also this pampering can't be found anywhere else other than physical casinos because you can't be given special attention in online casinos which also compliments the time you spend in physical casinos. In online casinos you only play some games and then close your computer but it isn't actually the same in physical casinos, their hospitality, their atmosphere can't be matched by anything else, you just feel like there isn't anything better than those in the entire world when you are inside a casino.
211  Economy / Economics / Re: A very positive sign: 39% of companies now have blockchain in production on: June 21, 2020, 07:18:30 PM
This is good and shows the potency of blockchain technology however, blockchain is not limited to the scope of Cryptocurrency as it cuts across many fields of profession.
Cryptocurrency is just another use of block-chain technology and it can be utilised in so many ways beyond our imagination. In University certificates, degrees, in companies, banks, post offices, art museums, just name a business and there will be a way to integrate block-chain into it. So the block-chain is pioneering the future of the world economy and with the bright minds and ideas block-chain integration can reach to more people worldwide.
212  Economy / Economics / Re: world war 3 is coming ...do to coronavirus / economy ... on: June 21, 2020, 04:15:27 PM
Not to add fuel to the fire to the OP, but why ICBM though? The war has already started in all fronts, cyber attacks? Less manpower but the effect is the same? hackers can cripple the target even their economy? We also have the trade 'war' between US and China already.

And I don't think that China and India are going to war, I'm sure that they are gong to diplomatic channels. And if that fails, to world governing bodies like United Nations. Unless some rogue nations (North Korea) throw the first shot.
China and India are on the verge of war and we can see one very soon if there isn't any solution when the diplomats talk to each other as both the armies are trying to do damage to each other. Also China is feeling cornered now because of the campaign that America is having against China because of the covid reporting blunder by them so it can be pretty bad for China to go to war now as everyone is against them. Corona virus is playing a big role in crippling of the world economies as there wasn't any lockdown this big since world war and this has cost businesses billions of dollars around the world.
213  Economy / Economics / Re: India-China border tensions on: June 19, 2020, 06:37:47 PM
The way the two countries are facing each other on the China-India border is creating a tense atmosphere. If the conflict escalates, I think it will have an impact on international trade and cryptocurrency, what do you think?
China is creating border tensions to all of it's neighbouring countries, we all know how it invaded Tibet and how brutally the Chinese government handled the protesters in the Hong Kong before the Corona crisis and the same will happen to India if they don't do anything about it, China is already invading Indian land from the side of Ladakh, so Indian army is stopping Chinese from invading and thus the conflict. This has lead to the recent conflict and if things doesn't sort out quickly then can also lead to a war which will be bad for economy of the entire world.
214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Blockchain gambling are ushering in new development opportunities? on: June 19, 2020, 05:26:00 PM
I am sure the gambling blockchain will be increasingly popular in the future, because it is different from the physical casinos in
the gambling blockchain development more likely to develop rapidly. Because the blockchain gambling has many benefits, such
as easy access, maintaining privacy users and most importantly can avoid the spread of the corona virus. Blockchain technology
provides a probability fair in gambling, this is it make the gambling blockchain more desirable.
Setting up an online casino have many benefits like they are easily made, pretty cheap as compared to physical casinos, less staff to hire, etc. Also you can integrate many currencies at the ease of a few changes in the code of the website. Cryptocurrencies also provide pretty fast transactions and are annonymous which are ideal for the people who want to gamble online as many centralised casinos do require KYC to be completed before allowing any withdrawl.
215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is this considered cheating? or Ilegal? on: June 19, 2020, 04:03:57 PM
Hello, This happened to me today, on a provably fair Dice Bitcoin gambling site I lost some money, then I checked my bets using an online verifier, in their website they say they use SHA512 algorithm to hash server seed, however, when they revealed the unhashed server seed I checked it using a SHA512 calculator... It should match the hashed server seed they provided to me, however, it does not match.


So the hashed SHA512 of the server seed is different from the hashed server seed they gave to me when I started my session. Isn't that considered cheating? I mean they probably are calculating right the dice value, however, the only fact of having wrong information on their provably fair statement should be enough for a legal complaint, shouldn't it?

Please someone tell me if it is enough to put some lawyers to work, or if it would be just a waste of time. Thanks!
You already verified the hash and as it didn't match then it actually means that they intentionally rigged your game to make you loose your bankroll. In past there were many instances when I was having a great winning streak and suddenly a bad loosing streak made me loose my entire bankroll, I used to think that this was just some bad luck, but now after reading your statement I am shocked and started thinking that the online casinos are actually rigged.
216  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How much have you earned in one year on: June 16, 2020, 07:25:14 PM
Last year I had earned just only some $500 to $600. Which is nothing and it was happened for the fortune. This year still I haven't earned anything but in a hope of earning at least   $1000. Now, I am working for some of the good bounties by which I may earn some money and some from my past investment and trading.
Most bounty campaigns will delay the token distribution. So if you are participating in bounties right now, I think you need to wait until the end of 2020 or 2021 to receive those tokens. This year is really bad for bounty and I'm just like you, still can't make money from bounty this year.
Then who is to blame, if you would have joined a successful bounty campaign then you would have made a lot of money from a single Campaign, since there are a lot of Campaign going on at a point of time then it is hard to judge which one is good and which one is not. But I always do my job of finding the campaign that suits me the most with utmost care and that has paid me pretty well in the past. So if you don't hurry in joining a campaign then you can have decent chance of warning good from a bounty.
217  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: No House Edge -- How Will It End? on: June 15, 2020, 04:10:01 PM
As this topic has shown, there are many people who erroneously assume that on a 50-50 win chance and no house edge in a game of chance, there'll be no clear winner on an infinite timescale, i.e. until someone busts with no time limits imposed (a kind of "a zero-sum game"). In fact, I was rather surprised with this view because it is pretty simple to prove the opposite, which I'm going to do below

For simplicity's sake, let's consider a simple game of coin tossing. Two players are staking 1 dollar at each toss of a coin. It should be obvious without any further explanation that if they have only 1 dollar, one of them is going to bust straight away. If they have 10 dollars each, it will take a little bit longer but one player will still bust in the end, and it was estimated that it is going to happen under just 200 tosses on average

It doesn't take a lot of brain power to see the overall dynamic, and draw a reasonable conclusion that it doesn't really matter what fraction of the bankroll the two players start off with since on a long enough timescale one of them is still set to bust. It could be further generalized that on an infinite timeframe gambling on a 50% win chance with a finite bankroll inevitably ends in a bust of one of the players. This is what I would call a statistical certainty

And this is in stark contrast to what I've seen people claim. So what is your opinion?



To avoid ambiguity and misunderstanding, I changed the part "it doesn't really matter what fraction of the bankroll the two players stake at each toss" to "it doesn't really matter what fraction of the bankroll the two players start off with"
The result will always be one side will loose, it's just that you have to toss that coin for that much number of times until one looses their entire bankroll. But in the real world cases people have their own betting strategies that give them a little edge and if there won't be any house edge(which is never going to happen) then the gamblers will surely outplay the house in the long run.
218  Economy / Speculation / Re: TA indicates a sharp drop soon on: June 15, 2020, 03:07:06 PM
Bitcoin is going to 5k, but it will be a slow descent, not a sharp, fast drop.
So you will have time to sell some.

Still the descent isn't confirmed yet, we should at least see a couple of tries and if then also the price fails to rise more than $10,300 then we can get a confirmation that it is not going up. I will feel sad for the miners who are still holding on their bitcoins thinking that the price will increase after a few months of block reward halving and still the Price isn't going anywhere and still the same. If the bitcoins price drops now then we will see a lot of decline in the total network hashrate as a lot of mining operations will become unprofitable.
219  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What do you think is the right time to buy BNB now? on: June 14, 2020, 06:52:46 PM
If you believe that bnb will increase in the future then this is the good time buy. I also believe the potential of bnb just hold the coin for long, who knows it will reach $50 price this year.
You are thinking of a pretty low price for such a great coins, it will definitely reach $100 and above in a few years. The trend of new project launch has been shifted to Exchanges and mostly they allow the investments in those projects by their own tokens and in this case BNB is the token of the world's largest exchange for Crypto currencies. So this leaves a lot of area for expanding the Price of BNB.
220  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy every dip! on: June 13, 2020, 10:28:55 AM
  Spotting the dips is also good, the counter to that is also be taking profits on your peaks.
These are the hardest things to guess for a speculator as you should be precise with the charts and your analysis should also be to the point and in-depth. Also market doesn't always go the way you want it to be, it is insidious just like everyone thought back in 2017 that if the price would reach $20k then it will explode and we could easily see $50k but actually the reverse happened and the end result was a low of $3k from all time high of $20k in the process.
