Let's try these few counter questions first:

Do you have access to affordable electricity to support your mining?
Do you have a budget for mining equipment or suitable hardware already at your disposal?
Have you taken the time to evaluate the potential profitability considering the current market conditions, mining difficulty level, and electricity costs?

Once you have answered these questions, you will have a better idea of whether starting mining is worth it for you.

yes, rat03gopoh is right. Having control of your private keys generally provides you with more autonomy and censorship resistance, but it doesn't mean that you are immune from legal actions or consequences. Law enforcement agencies can trace crypto transactions on the blockchain and figure out who's involved. If they find evidence that those funds were used for illegal stuff, they can take legal action to seize and confiscate them. They might go after centralized exchanges or other custodians holding the assets and get a court order to freeze or take control of the funds. In some cases, when law enforcement agencies conduct investigations, they may seize physical devices and media records, both offline and online, that could potentially contain wallets and preivate keys. One example is the ChipMixer case, where the police confiscated bitcoins because the private keys were likely stored on servers in an unencrypted form.

been there, done that! However, I don't think it's the best strategy to withdraw funds to your wallet every time you want to take a break from gambling. It can end up costing you a significant amount in transfer fees with each withdrawal and redeposit. Instead, it might be more cost-effective to set a budget for your gambling activities and only withdraw funds when necessary or when you've reached your target winnings. Remember, saving those transfer fees can add up to more gambling fun in the long run!

I totally agree! Charging excessively high withdrawal fees is just not cool, and it's a clear sign of bad management on the part of the casinos. It's like they're trying to squeeze every last penny out of their players, which is definitely not a good way to build trust and loyalty. Reputable casinos understand the importance of reasonable and transparent fee structures that don't leave players feeling like they've been taken advantage of.

Of course, cryptocurrencies are a volatile asset with a dynamic transaction fee that changes from minute to minute. However, it doesn't justify casinos charging exorbitant or unjustifiably high withdrawal fees. After all, it's in their best interest to maintain a balance between covering operational costs and offering reasonable fees that don't deter players from withdrawing their funds. Unless, of course, they intentionally set high withdrawal fees as a strategy to discourage users from cashing out

Yeah! NowDice is clearly marching to the beat of their own drum, disregarding all the valuable feedback and warnings. Their use of fake followers and suspicious betting activity shows they're taking a massive risk with their reputation. It wouldn't be surprising if they were to fade away from the gambling scene before even making a substantial impact.

Only time will tell whether they can withstand the storm they've created. In the meantime, maybe it's best to steer clear and find a more reputable gambling site.

If they're using bots to create the illusion of a crowded website, then we can assume they're using the same tactic with fake bets to give the impression of many players on the site. I've been checking the casino at various times over the past few days, and I haven't seen any real chat activity, just bots. Despite this, there's always a steady stream of gambling activity. It's clearly not an accurate representation.

Yes, I agree. The Eurovision Song Contest has a long history of controversy, with accusations of vote rigging, political bias, and other scandals. The fact that Sweden will be hosting Eurovision next year, coupled with Abba's 50th anniversary, may have influenced the judges' decision. I'm not really a fan of conspiracy theories, but I think the public vote should hold more weight in the final decision of the winner, as it represents the people's choice and preferences.

It is concerning to see that the OP has not been active in this forum or responded to any questions since May 8th, despite being active on the forum just two days ago. It seems like he is not interested in engaging with the community or accepting any criticism or suggestions. Moreover, the lack of transparency and the dubious activities he has engaged in so far are alarming. From the chat filled with bots to fake statistics and betting activity, to falsifying contact information and physical address of the business, everything indicates that this could be a possible scam. It's possible that they are just waiting for a significant deposit to run away with the money.

I would advise everyone to exercise caution and thoroughly research any platform before putting in their hard-earned money. Don't fall for empty promises and shady schemes that have the potential to leave you penniless.

Hey, heads up, I noticed your image isn't showing up on the forum. It might be because Imgur no longer works on bitcointalk (read the explanation from theymos here). I recommend using TalkImg.com as a new image hosting service instead. Give it a try!

Well, it looks like all my bets are out the window. I was hoping for a more unconventional entry to take the crown this year instead of a mainstream pop song like the Swedish winner. But hey, at least the show was entertaining, and let's face it, the betting is just a fun way to add some excitement to the whole experience.


Well, there are quite a few betting platforms out there that would take your money and let you bet on almost anything! But yeah, sometimes you have to dig deep to find the Eurovision song contest market among all the sports markets on these bookmakers. It's like finding a needle in a haystack!

Hey TryNinja, first of all, thanks for putting in the effort to create this script. However, I don't think I'll be using it. No offense, but I'm not very experienced with coding or using developer tools in the browser, and I'm not comfortable with the idea of a script altering my posts. It's not that I don't trust you, but I don't trust myself to not mess up something. 

Can we make the process less automatic for members who prefer to manually edit their old posts? I had an idea that you or LoyceV might be able to assist with. For instance, adding a search function for posts with images or Imgur links to ninjastic.space would make it easier for members to manually locate and edit their old posts without relying on an automated script. This could be an additional parameter in the search settings that only displays posts with images. Do you think this would be possible?

Just to clarify, TalkImg is actually a service that's quite similar to Imgur or Imgbb. It's not actually connected to Bitcointalk, and you can't use it to upload images directly to the forum like you suggested. Instead, you'll still need to use bbcode to display your images in your posts. I think what might have happened is that you got a bit confused, as TalkImg was actually created by a member of this forum specifically for use on Bitcointalk. But again, it's not directly linked to the forum itself.

This means that you are reading the data incorrectly. In your post, you claimed "80% of the world...", that's a very big number and I don't know what exactly you meant by that, but it's obviously wrong.

From the source you quoted:


"420 million crypto users" is approximately 5.3% of the total population of the world, that's not even close to 80%.

@joker_josue, while I was fixing some of my old posts that had missing images, I had an idea. Is it possible to enable the "add image URLs" option, like the one available on ImgBB service? This would make it easier for users who want to migrate their images from Imgur to TalkImg.com on their own, since the images are still available there, but not displayed on the forum.

You can try https://picsur.org/

You can find their GitHub repository at https://github.com/caramelfur/picsur. It's an open source script but I'm not sure if it's in PHP or JavaScript (or both). It might be worth checking out.

Welcome to the forum! It's great to see new people interested in cryptocurrency.

While Bitcoin has gained significant popularity in recent years and there are many people who believe in the potential of decentralized currency that can provide greater financial freedom, I am suspicious about the data you provided. Can you provide any sources to back up the claim that 80% of the world's youth are interested in Bitcoin? It is always a good practice to research and verify any claims before accepting them as fact, and I don't believe that I have ever come across this information before.

I totally agree with you! I learned this lesson the hard way when I first started investing. I was so excited to jump into the market that I invested a sum of money without really knowing what I was doing. Needless to say, I ended up losing quite a bit.

It's been a few years now, and while I still experience some losses, I've learned to manage my risks. Diversification is always a good thing and it's wise to spread your investments across different assets to minimize risks. But with age and experience, I have come to realize that investing demands considerable research and study. I have learned the hard way not to throw my money into something I don't entirely comprehend, regardless of how profitable it may seem initially. Even with diversification, it's still important to do your own research and due diligence before making any investment decisions. That means taking the time to read up on all the relevant information. And don't be afraid to seek advice from professionals or experienced investors, but always remember that the final decision should ultimately be yours.

First of all, if your transaction has been confirmed on the network (and I assume it has), then you cannot recover it anymore.
Secondly, if you didn't authorize the transaction, then either your system is compromised (you have some sort of trojan or spyware on your computer) or your private key is compromised (someone else has access to it). I suggest that you create a new wallet on a clean system as soon as possible and transfer all remaining funds to the new address. Finally, just because the funds are unspent at the destination address doesn't mean that the address is inactive.

Yes, OP was active again today, unfortunately, he did not come back to this topic to clarify the situation, and it's unclear why he hasn't yet provided the necessary proof to the casino. It's possible that there is a miscommunication or misunderstanding, or perhaps the player is hesitant to share the information for personal reasons. However, as mentioned earlier, requesting proof of deposit is a common practice, especially for larger transactions, and it's typically nothing to be concerned about.

I was on the hunt for odds at Winz Casino, but I couldn't seem to find the market anywhere. So, I did what any good gambler would do and hit up some other platforms (which shall remain nameless), where I found the odds for every single contestant in tonight's event. Time to place my bets and let Lady Luck do her thing!
