921  Economy / Gambling / Re: Impossible KYC Requirements - Stake.com - Withholding $6000 USD on: July 01, 2023, 11:00:29 AM
This is completely ridiculous, here's why.
I live in the UK and we no longer get physical bills here. I have online accounts for all the media, natural gas, electricity, everything. The only thing I get in paper form is water, but that's because the water company is small (local only for my town) and they just have like 2 people working in the office. They don't have their own servers and stuff, but in all bigger cities you'll also get that in digital form.

Them asking for a paper document has no legal grounds as you may not be getting that at all.
The same is with asking for a month old bill. I just see a balance change, they even send me a message on my phone about new bills and stuff. I don't get a "normal" bill like in the old days when you could find it in the mail, nor am I able to pay it at the post office to get a "stamp".
I would not be able to meet their KYC requirement, despite living in a "first world country".

Same here. I'm from the EU and all my utility bills are also digital. Also, I can't even remember the last time I paid a utility bill at a bank counter using hard cash. I do everything through mobile online banking services. Looking for such bills, receipts, and other "physical" evidence nowadays is ridiculous. I don't know what they are thinking.

IMO they're doing it on purpose to scam you.

I don't know what they are thinking. Maybe OP is some kind of special case and therefore they are looking for additional evidence. It would be good to read their side. Has anyone officially responded to this yet?

do men not like women who can make a lot of money from gambling?  of course the answers that can be generated are very diverse about it (when money is always talking in this world)
<...>

Well, you know, some dudes might not be super into the idea of a woman raking in big bucks from gambling. They could be concerned about the financial stability or the chance of getting too caught up in gambling. Others might feel a bit uneasy 'cause they think they should be the main breadwinners, you know, that whole macho thing. But hey, opinions vary, and it's all about finding a balance and understanding each other's perspectives.
923  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Board explanation for newbies on: June 30, 2023, 09:52:21 PM
Board explanations are already available when you visit the front page of the forum. I believe that everything is already explained sufficiently, and no additional instructions are necessary for newcomers. All one needs to do is employ logic. For instance, when reading the title of the board "Bitcoin Discussion," what further explanation is required? Moreover, a detailed description is provided below: "General discussion about the Bitcoin ecosystem that doesn't fit better elsewhere. News, the Bitcoin community, innovations, the general environment, etc. Discussion of specific Bitcoin-related services usually belongs in other sections." In your opinion, what else do you think should be included there?

I think it could actually be interesting, and possibly useful for the gambling community on the forum. Creating a group of trusted users who can act as mediators to look into cases involving valid evidence could help address disputes more efficiently and fairly. Having respectable members who are capable of handling such situations can provide a valuable resource for resolving conflicts and maintaining a sense of trust within the community. I have already thought of several highly respectable members who would fit the criteria. And I'm sure most here would agree that they would be objective and unbiased in their judgment because they've already proven that countless times before.
925  Economy / Reputation / Re: 'John Abraham ≈ naim027' Coincidence or Connection? on: June 29, 2023, 09:11:45 PM
I just noticed that the alt account of 'naim027' (Crypt0S0ul)  has given 16 merits to StarBets casino representative account on 9th April. There will be nothing to surprise if the account of StarBets is operated by naim027 now.

Yep, you got it. The StarBets account is also run by naim027, and I knew about this connection beforehand. I never spilled the beans on it because the StarBets account is only active in their own thread, and naim027 is still allowed to hang out on the forum. So, there is no ban evading at the moment.

I found some evidence to back this up in the screenshots he shared. I'm pretty sure I wrote down that info somewhere. If we need it, I'll dig it up and verify it if necessary.
926  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: June 29, 2023, 07:50:00 PM
Women tend to not gamble because they always think gambling is bad and only wasting money, but if there's women want to gamble, they're mostly an addicts. So women only have 2 side, either they're completely not gamble their money and they're gamble a lot. Only few women can control themselves and not playing victim.

I don't think it is accurate or fair to claim that all women either completely avoid gambling or become addicts. Do you have any stats or sources to back this up? Or is that just your personal opinion?

While males mostly know how to control themselves, that's why you need to be careful if you have a female friend and she's a gambler.

It seems like a bunch of folks here are throwing around some seriously stereotypical views about women and gambling, and it's coming off as pretty sexist, to be honest. I can't help but wonder if this mindset has something to do with cultural or religious influences.
927  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: June 29, 2023, 12:08:30 AM
Men lose a lot more money betting sports because they can find places to bet on credit.

What kind of statement is that? I mean, it's not just men who have the ability to find places to bet on credit. Women have the same opportunities too, at least in the liberal western world. There shouldn't be any discriminatory positions when it comes to gambling based on gender. However, I can't say for sure how things are in countries where religious beliefs heavily influence what's considered acceptable or not.

Curacao fake licensed casinos do not have a regulator!

The wildcasino scam is a good example for no regulation in Curacao.

We all have our own way of checking out casino licenses and deciding where we want to gamble, right? If Curacao licenses don't float your boat, have you thought about casinos that don't have any license at all? Just something to think about, but no pressure! It's more of a rhetorical question.

But, I'm curious, is that why you decide to bump their topic? Are you trying to give them some free promotion or something? Just wondering!
929  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ads for online gambling should be banned. on: June 28, 2023, 06:59:11 PM
From what I understand, this forum isn't really about promoting online casinos, but more about the users and their discussions. So, even if Australia decides to pass a law like that, it shouldn't really affect this platform. I mean, what can the administrators really do? Start tracking where every visitor is coming from and disable user signatures for those from Australia? That sounds like it would totally go against the freedom of speech that this forum values. So, yeah, I don't think you have much to worry about. Just keep enjoying the discussions!
930  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it true that if you bounce bitcoin back and forth to different wallets on: June 26, 2023, 12:06:25 AM
that after a certain amount of time the bitcoin becomes practically anonymous? As in, not being able to be traced back to the original KYC exchange, or in the case of "tainted" bitcoin, that?

Not correct. Since all transactions are public, even the most basic blockchain forensics will be able to trace your coins back to the exchange where they originated. No matter how many hops you make.
931  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can you only have a receiving address pay send bitcoin? on: June 25, 2023, 11:58:57 PM
Looks like there's some confusion about what the OP meant. I think he actually wants to use the coins he got from the last address, not send them back to where they came from.

@yat97, I don't know about the Safepal wallet specifically, but you should look to see if you have a coin control feature, as bitmover said. Some wallets support this, such as Electrum or Bitcoin Core. If your wallet does not support this function, I think your only alternative is to import your private keys into another wallet. Be careful with this and never share your private key with anyone or enter it into online websites or unverified software.
932  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bet on live game or while game hasn't started yet? on: June 25, 2023, 09:30:02 PM
Live betting can be fun if you watch the match live. You can evaluate the current form of a player or team, changes in tactics or injuries that occur during a match. For example, if one team is the clear favorite but the weaker team is lucky enough to score an early goal, the odds can change drastically giving you an advantage over if you had placed a pre-match bet. But as others have mentioned, it really depends on the specific case and your betting strategy. I generally only use live betting if I'm watching a game at the same time.
933  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I have been gone for a while on: June 25, 2023, 07:49:51 PM
It's quite mind-boggling to be bombarded with all these questions when there is absolutely no possible way for me to take advantage of anyone here. I have no interest in doing so. My dear...

You brought it on yourself, my dear. No one would ask you about your past if you approached this forum like a normal newbie would, and slowly and painstakingly built your new online presence from the ground up. But no. The first thing you stated was that you were "coming back" and that you were supposedly very active in this community in the past. It sounded like you wanted to prove something with that statement.

So, no. No one is asking you to share your private information or anything like that. We simply want to know who we are dealing with and what your old username is, if what you claim is true. What's the secret in that?

But, that's not the end of the story. The second thing you did was ask for a loan without proper collateral. Was this a normal thing for newbies in the past? I highly doubt that much has changed in this regard. The Rule of "No Collateral, No Loan" predates your alleged involvement in this community.
934  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I have been gone for a while on: June 24, 2023, 08:32:00 PM
<...>
And because I want to come back to this world, I need to orient myself towards what is currently in high demand so that I can provide it with the skills I have.

And, if the reason for your return is to run some kind of business here, then your reputation is the single most important thing that you could carry over from your previous account. It's rather surprising that you seem uninterested in doing so. Or perhaps there's a reason behind it?

Since his shared address is empty, I guess there is no amount scammed yet.

As long as the scammers are dumb like the case in question, the vast majority of crypto users are safe. It's a situation of "dumb and dumber"!  You have to be dumber than the scammer to be scammed, and that was almost impossible in this case.  Cheesy

Good catch though!
936  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lotteries and possibility vs. probability on: June 24, 2023, 07:52:11 PM
People buy lotteries because they are cheap, so they buy in large quantities. And even though their chances of winning are close to zero, they still think that one day, they will hit the jackpot prize. That's what makes people addicted to buying a lottery to collect hundreds of tickets and hope one or more can win the prize. Sometimes people borrow money to buy lottery tickets because they are tempted to win a prize. They forget that the lottery game is based on luck and that only people with a high level of luck can get the jackpot. For them, the lottery is a gambling game that can be a way to get a lot of money.

I think anyone who buys lottery tickets in bulk is a fool. I mean, I can somewhat understand people who play their "lucky numbers" all their lives in hopes that one day they might be lucky. But buying a bunch of tickets to increase your chances is just ridiculous in the case of the lottery. The odds of winning are astronomical, no matter how many tickets you buy.
937  Economy / Gambling / Re: Blackjack.fun |20% RAKEBACK TO ALL|SLOTS|SPORTS BETTING|70% RAKEBACK RUSH HOUR on: June 24, 2023, 07:36:27 PM
Is there a way to track how much rakeback we are earning during the day when the daily reward distribue?

No, I don't think so. I don't know if they have a way to track your rakeback or not. There doesn't appear to be one. You pretty much just have to keep an eye on your account balance.
I noticed that the "Statistics" menu item is still unavailable. Maybe it will be possible in the future. I'm not sure.
938  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income on: June 24, 2023, 07:24:41 PM
Choosing gambling as a source of income will fail whether it is a main source or a part-time source. Gambling is only for entertainment, a person who chooses gambling as a source of income will never be successful.

So you're denying that there are people out there who are professional gamblers? There are people who make their living from gambling, yes. I know some people who are professional gamblers and that's practically all they do, and they do well for themselves. They don't rely on luck alone to win money from gambling; instead, they use skills and strategies that can give them an advantage.

But it can be used to refresh the mind. But in today's youth gambling has become a source of income for many people because of the high unemployment rate due to which people are forced to start gambling and choose gambling as a source of income. that's just the truth

These are not professionals. They are amateurs who are delusional about their abilities and their success. But, in reality, they are just going to be another statistic that goes down in the history books as someone who tried and failed at gambling.

I’m not actually questioning integrity of campaign manager because I respect BoxxoB as campaign manager ever since. I pertaining to the commitment of the campaign to go longer since most of the campaign here just end when the owner is not impressed on the result.

Atleast when the funds for long term is escrowed. We can ensure how serious the owner on making this in long run since he is giving advance payment secured on escrow wallet without any uncertainty if he will continue or not on the following weeks. Simply action speaks louder than words.

Yeah. I just hope that dewez is aware that no marketing campaign, not even a signature campaign, will get immediate results. No matter how much money was spent on it and no matter how many participants it had. It takes time before people start noticing your brand. It also takes effort from his end to ensure that the campaign is successful.
940  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Lost coins redistribution on: June 24, 2023, 05:58:00 PM
In time we will have fewer and fewer bitcoins, currently it is thought 3-4 million bitcoins are already lost. This makes me sad.

This should not make you sad because it means that the coins you hold become more valuable. The fewer coins on the market, the more valuable they are.

I am aware of Satoshi's view on this "lost coins are a donation to everyone". Yes, but 4 million is a lot,

Who says 4 million coins are lost? Who can even say for sure?

do we want Bitcoin to still be used 1000 years from now? If this trend continues most if not all bitcoins would have been lost by then.

Do you really care what will happen in 1000 years? Will humanity exist in 1000 years?

Again, this is an approximation, but 4 million lost coins out of 21 million. That's like 20% of the total gold/fiat supply just vanishing forever.

I still don't see where the problem is? Would it really be a problem if 1 BTC was worth, say, a million dollars? Or more. After all, each bitcoin can be divided into 100,000,000 satoshis. So, if a bitcoin becomes too valuable, there's no need for anyone to handle or transact with the entire bitcoin unit.
