Why did you stop contacting them in 2016 though? Did you give up at some point and now when your money is x10, you are desperately trying to take back the money that you lost because of your own fault?

No offense man, but legally you can't do anything about your funds unless coinroyale wants to show some integrity out of their heart.

But feel free to prove me wrong: how many of the thousands of different tokens that were created in the past years have actually solved a real problem?
When people start these tokens they make promises that claim to solve real-world problems, and only a few of them actually fulfill their promises. But I found a guy who listed some of the biggest ones that have a real usage (copy-pasted from his list):

- Ripple, which aims to replace the SWIFT interbank payment system with instant transactions and reduced fees per transaction.
- Stellar, pursuing a few of the same goals as Ripple while targeting individuals with the goal of banking unbanked customers around the world.
- Factom, wanting to offer a decentralized platform for notaries.
- Golem, whose stated goal is to become a kind of Airbnb of computing power. The platform lets users sharing some computing power and is based on the Ethereum platform.
- Basic Attention Token, which aims to revolutionize the world of digital advertising with an innovative model that benefits advertisers, publishers, and users.
- Siacoin, offering a fully decentralized cloud storage platform.

I checked Siacoin, they seem to already release their platform and people are using it.

I came across an interesting article saying different ingame loot boxes (buying a box without knowing what is inside) psychologically similar to gambling and can develop interest into real gambling. Being a gamer myself, I think this makes a real sense - when you buying a box with random rewards inside you feel like you are playing a separate game inside a game and the feeling quite similar to the one you get when betting on sport and casino games.

Some countries are seriusly discussing weather they will regulate loot box feature in all games. What you think?

If anyone is to use this data, make sure you understand the reason behind this. First two outgoing is okay and logical but last threes are the result of bounty. All the bounty hunters are required to visit the docs url, youtube and telegram from the bounty thread in most of the bounties. Information is correct based on stats but totally wrong if we calculate the logic.
So, from bounty campaigns or by personal interest - they are going out of the forum to another destination. This makes them an outgoing destination pal. Please do not write what comes to your mind first just in order to be in the same boat with others hoping to get a merit for supporting their negative comment.

When it comes to traffic share by Country, I don't think there is any much accuracy in it. I believe most members here especially the active ones use VPNS and guess what?  Wink

Most cheap or free VPNs have servers mostly from the US, Germany, France, UK (In other words the US and Europe) very few have free servers from Asia, Latin America  and Africa.

So I would imagine most users from Asia or Latin America where the population is also very huge are being misrepresented because the use VPNs.
This might make sense. I personally do not use VPN for bttalk.

He clearly mentioned from where he got the numbers. By the way, why do you think that Alexa is any more accurate and better than than the sources he used as I often heard (from people that know more about subject than me) that similar web is more accurate than Alexa

All those method are wrong to some degree and as @DdmrDdmr said only theymos knows the real numbers.
They might be wrong partly and I believe there is no possibility that these inaccuracies can mislead someone. These numbers are accurate enough in order to obtain a general understanding of overall pattern. And this was my purpose from this thread.

Let him do his own research - this is the best possible way. Never FOMO. Someone would say buy a patreon subscription of some successfull trader but I did not my first investment (that ended up in a total loss) based on personal analysis and I'm still happy that I had that experience.
187  Economy / Gambling / Re: Coinbetzone | A Big List Of Crypto Gambling Sites - 100+ Updated Daily! on: April 02, 2021, 06:06:06 PM
The website looks pretty solid. Just a friendly advice: put some effort into seo. Tons of people search for such a list. Add some content to the home page, add privacy policy page, remove unused css, get some backlinks, etc. Getting organic traffic is quite achievable for you. It takes some time taking into account the domain was recently registered, but it can be big. (I believe)

Of course, in this particular case the OP is just a newbie who is trying to sell his tool but auto trading (or as OP calls it "robot trading") is not a bullshit. Factually more than a half of all shares traded on stock exchanges are done this way.
189  Other / Meta / Re: [Brief Analytics] Bitcointalk.org (March 2021) on: April 02, 2021, 05:49:39 PM
Math?
The numbers are pretty much rounded in order to give an overall pattern.

And the traffic source chart is clearly showing that the number of Bitcointalk residents has not change compared to the last year, the double in the overall traffic are all new comers.

I don't see how that follows from your data, nor is the traffic doubled: (4.5-2.8) / 2.8 = 61%
The same argument applies here. Thanks.



And I'm glad that I made you use your brain my doing simple calculations Smiley

190  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Internet connectivity - Gambling wins/losses on: April 02, 2021, 05:44:01 PM
Oh, I relate pretty much. I used to be a "professional sports gambler" years ago. I remember I missed big opportunities (they seemed to be an opportunity that time) due to my bad internet connection several times. I used to bet mostly on NBA, I watched the first two quarters and then put money for the second half. In basketbal everything happens very fast, you have to quickly analyze, decide and bet. Now believe me when you find a good chance and your internet won't let you make a bet and ultimately that bet wins - you will feel like you lost a million.
191  Economy / Gambling / Re: If you loose your funds don't loose the fun on: April 02, 2021, 05:33:06 PM
The fun will always be there even if you are losing money and you will only feel the sadness in you, the moment you step outside on casinos having no money at all same thing if you just playing online.

If you're too focus about the money you're making, having fun wont help you at all and many are playing with a lot of greed, the result is very bad for them. Just enjoy playing, spend the money you're willing to lose and you must have a strong emotionional control so you wont feel sad if you don't have money anymore.
Agree lol. Exactly losing is a part of the fun. Of course having is costing you money but gambling is an entertainment first of all and what entertainment costs no money?

193  Economy / Reputation / Re: 1xbet Luring out non-crypto gamblers on: April 02, 2021, 12:00:52 PM
1xBet is not totally a scam company. I used to bet on them like for 3 years. I had good times and as well as big loses. I never had issues with them. Yes, they might use some tricky marketing strategies that gives a new user impression about them that is actually not true. But, what company doesn't do that? They are a regular betting company that spends millions on marketing, that's it.

by offering them a 100% bonus deposit which is a pretty good deal for starters
Regarding this, never fall for their 100% bonus to your first deposit. It works kinda different than it sounds Grin you should bet these bonus money and make x30 profit compared to the initial amount. Only in this case, you will be able to withdraw the INITIAL amount, not x30.


P.S. I'm not connected with 1xBet in any way. I'm writing my thoughts based on my personal experience with them.
194  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you think crypto trading can help nation with no Job create jobs? on: April 02, 2021, 09:55:24 AM
Do you often meet a trader who is successfull and feeding himself and his family just by trading crypto?. No… (maybe you do as you are in this field, but in overall minority truely end up successfully). As long as there is a possibility to learn before going into, I think have many other options than crypto trading to learn. You should not treat it like a hobbu if your ultimate goal is earning out of it, it's a job in this case. And like any other job, you have to train in order to be good at it. I believe crypto trading is not a solution to unemployment (at least right now).
195  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: You need discipline to be successful in trade on: April 02, 2021, 07:09:22 AM
When you are new to trading and do not have both loss/win experience from the past you cannot simply say to yourself "be disciplined" and become "disciplined". As a reflection, when you have enough experience - you will naturally have the so-called quality "discipline". Yes, there some unwritten rules like "stick to your proven strategy", "follow your daily schedule", etc. but I think they should not be followed just because someone's suggestion.

There's a lot of opportunities in blockchain technology.
You forgot to mention the scams. Scamming is also a very juicy way of earning in crypto Tongue. Unlike any other industry, crypto people are easy to convince and scam.
198  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Apple is considered safe but still you gotta be careful on: April 01, 2021, 05:40:23 PM
I dont believe that users got scammed due to downloading fake app directly from App Store. All apps passes tons of moderation before getting into App Store. Despite Google Play Store, which is full of fake and scam apps. It is mentioned that he had downloaded an app from App Store. That is a lie, there is no such app there and never was. Just another case of a user that does not care much about his security, as he "downloaded an app to check his balance". This is the same as checking cards balance on http://ismycreditcardstolen.com/ (warning! do not post your private data there)



Looks like he actually did download from the official App Store. And as someone else said above the scammers initially launched a legit app under another name and then later they morphed it into totally another app of another category under new name. Why would they allow this?

The guy looks like seeing a doctor now and taking medicines. Idk what condition would I be if I lost 600k like this and shortly after it is more than $1M lol.
199  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which Exchange? on: April 01, 2021, 05:24:05 PM
My vote also goes for Binance. But keep in mind, exchanges are for trading ONLY. Once you are done with your trading, withdraw anything you got into a desktop or even better a hardware wallet. Do not hold your crypto in exchange even if its Binance or any other big player.

Among other reliable options, I’d recommend Bitfinex, Phemex, StellarX (decentralized exchange) and Kraken. I personally user each of them for a reasonable period of time.
