...so I would say that the mixer ban has had a positive effect on reducing activity among shitposters who only participate here for money.  In the case of suchmoon, we're talking nearly a 95% reduction in 90 days after the ban!  That's an absolutely amazing development.  I hope we see this continue and spread to other shitposters as well who provide nothing for this forum but drama while leeching funds from the community that could go towards supporting creators of goods and services.  

If you needed evidence that the mixer ban has already improved the community.  Here it is.

No, actually now we have more proof of how dumb you are and the bullshit you say.

As a Poker enthusiast, Love it when new platforms join the community. Surprisingly, crypto poker scene hasn't taken off which I thought it would, early on.

That's because unlike casino games, a poker room is more attractive the more players it has, and in that they can't beat the main fiat sites, mainly PS. Apart from the collusion issue that has been mentioned. As GxSTxV says (without getting into what happened to him):

... and lack of players for someone who wants to enjoy the game...

If you play roulette, no matter how many people are in the room, you can arrive, start playing instantly and continue 24/7 if you want. In poker you have to wait for other players to enter, be it cash, sits, spins, tourneys or whatever. Without traffic they take longer to start if they do start.

PS, apart from the fact that to play there you are identified via KYC, has a whole department dedicated to monitor and investigate possible cases of fraud and collusion.

In this case, a platform via Telegram, it is noted that they are putting dedication and effort to attract customers but unless they change to a self-hosted web I do not think they can get many and in any case as I say I think crypto poker sites have a hard time, unlike the many and very profitable crypto casinos out there.

True, it is all about strategy. That's why we should play with various different strategies against the same opponents so it will be a bit difficult for them to know what we do. If we are playing in offline poker, combination between flat gesture and various strategies will be better.

I guess you don't know much about playing poker in person. In general, if you play the lower levels, which are usually $1/2 or $2/5, you don't need to change your strategy. Usually there are already quite a few recreational players (one way to identify them is that they are drinking alcohol at the table) and versus them playing few hands, for value and aggressively is usually enough to win.

That of changing strategy is for tables full of regs and pros, typical of higher levels but you need a lot of money to get into them in live poker.

Think that in low level tables, for example $2/5, a full stack is $500, and you should have several available in case the variance screws you.

For now, good, because I see that I have increased my merits, the shame is that they do not generate smerits and that tomorrow I will not have them. On the other hand very funny to see some with negative merit.

Edit: lol I see my merits have gone down now.
185  Other / Meta / Re: Icopress ' Merit Source Application 🚩 on: April 01, 2024, 05:07:03 AM
Sad so sad the anger in your heart ❤️ must weigh you down.

There's no anger. I am trying to explain to you in a rational way that the merits should be given mainly for posts that have quality, not giving them to a person who you like simply because you like him, while you take it as a personal attack.

It seems incredible that with how long you've been on the forum I have to explain this to you and you don't understand it. I guess it's because of the time you've spent in the WO thread, since everything is different there and is tolerated.
186  Other / Meta / Re: Icopress ' Merit Source Application 🚩 on: March 31, 2024, 04:00:48 PM
So if i like a person must I give all the reasons that I like them to justify the merits I give him.

Is liking him not enough words for you.

Do you want a detailed explanation of why I like him why I trust him?

Here is one reason I like him and trust him. He pays the signature participants the correct amount of money due to them.


The internet will always have issues when writing to communicate.

My apologies if saying I like someone was not detailed enough for your standards.

So me giving him merits is my way of saying he does a good job distributing payments to people. He has been honest from all evidence I have seen. He has done this for years.

All qualites of a good campaign manager.

Come on! Merits do not have to be given to someone because you like him, nor because he is a campaign manager who pays his participants, which is what he is supposed to do.

As I said before, if it wasn't you, someone else doing the same thing would have a dozen people telling him what I'm telling you but since it's you you get a pass, which doesn't take away that you are misusing the merits giving them to people because you like them or because they are good campaign managers.
187  Other / Meta / Re: Gambling board merit thread on: March 31, 2024, 11:37:50 AM
Why am I not surprised?

I agree with Jawhead999 and mindrust.

Coming from someone who participates in a campaign known for the poor quality of what its members write, with a few exceptions, who takes a loan for gambling although when applying for it he says it is for personal use, that he now comes up with this supposedly great idea that involves not knowing anything about what the merit system was created for, well, I am not surprised, as I say.

Thoughts?

I think you are a person who doesn't have much money but has a lot ideas about what rich people would do.

So, let's say you bought Bitcoins 100 at $1 and now with your great idea to avoid paying taxes you donate them when they are worth $70,000. The tax authorities in your country will charge you capital gains tax for 6.999.900 (assuming a moderate rate of 20%, you would have to pay 1.399.980). And besides, you would have run out of Bitcoins, so I don't know what you were going to be able to pay with.

A relative of mine gave away all money to charity above the estate tax limit to avoid the estate tax a few years back when he passed. But with Bitcoin, it seems there would be interesting wrinkles possible as an alternative to formal charities.

In your friend's example, if what he donated was money, capital gains tax does not apply because there is no capital gain, but with Bitcoin it does.
189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: House always wins? The case of Trump Plaza. on: March 31, 2024, 04:38:34 AM
When it is said that the house always wins it is because of the big numbers. For the house, to run casino games that have an HE is EV+. But a casino is a business like any other and to keep it running other factors come into play, such as being able to attract enough customers to spend enough. Plus as mentioned Trump plaza was not just a casino.

So, have fun, and if you want to buy the software or have any questions about it, don't hesitate to contact me.

In other words, if I wanted to set up a casino, and I bought you for example the Bitz, what else would I need to do to be able to run it properly? At the moment I can think of a good bankroll, to set up maximum bets and hire a couple of people to work on it when I can't so that it can be running 24 hours a day.

I think the minimum investment would be several tens of thousands of dollars.

1) I like icopress I gave him merits because I like him...

As an aside I just gave icopress a few merits. to show I still like him.

Do I have to tell you that this is wrong?

That's not what the merit system was created for.

To be honest with you philipma1957, you can say that because you have been on the forum since 2012, you are the human user who has written the most posts etc., otherwise anyone who said that would be severely criticized and I would personally have left a neutral tag on your profile about it.

I also like him but I've never given him any single merit just because I like him.

Besides I don't think it's simply because you like him, more a way to compensate for your stance against him being appointed a merit source.



192  Economy / Economics / Re: Debt Management. on: March 30, 2024, 04:35:02 AM
This could all be avoided if we just never had debt in the first place

It couldn't be better summarized. For the average citizen, the best thing to do is not to get into debt, the only exception being to take out a mortgage to buy a house. The rest is best avoided. Consumer loans will only make you poorer and are crazy from a financial point of view. And "good" debt, as advocated by Kiyosaki, most people on the street do not know how to handle it.
193  Economy / Gambling / Re: My experience on live bet on: March 30, 2024, 04:27:04 AM
At that point, my cash out was #1,641.

Is that Nigerian Naira currency? It's just that I just looked it up and I see it's the equivalent roughly to $1.2, and I imagine the Nigeria cost of living is lower but I don't imagine it's such a large amount to make a cashout.
194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is playing poker online better than offline? on: March 30, 2024, 04:22:11 AM
Online poker is full of thrash players doing a lot shit decision making because they are hiding from their computer. I’m not professional poker but I preferred playing on actual table compared online because you can guarantee that you play against real players and no thrash players that always doing all-in frequently just to bluff.

You don't have much idea what you're talking about. Nowadays there are few "trash players" as you say, even at the lowest levels, and I would like to find tables full of players going all in just to bluff as it happened 15 years ago.

To address the OP's question, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. In general when playing poker in person the opponents are worse but you need more capital, the games are slower and you have to go there. Online you can play comfortably from home, use statistics programs and although the tables are tougher you can play a much higher number of hands per hour, compensating for the lower winrate.

With how poorly you explain yourself, if you are trying to get people to come to your forum you are going to get the opposite, either no one is going to come, or only people who have a similar capacity of comprehension to your capacity of expression are going to come.
196  Economy / Reputation / Re: AI posts and my feedback on the borovichok account on: March 30, 2024, 04:08:00 AM
... but if it is done more carefully and not automatically posted but a human proof reads the work to add a human touch to it, then becomes a little detectable.

Well, I think that as long as you add a human touch and don't just copy-paste, it's not so bad. I consult AI practically every day, and I think that in the near future using it will be as common as using the internet today. In fact, I believe that search engine searches like google are going to be replaced by AI searches.

I wonder what percentage of active accounts in the previous 3 months are using AI and if it were possible to know, to use that as a comparator to the same period one year ago. That would be an interesting statistic.

Without knowing exact data, it has certainly grown, as has the use of AI around the world.
197  Economy / Reputation / Re: AI posts and my feedback on the borovichok account on: March 29, 2024, 05:49:51 AM
The AI threat is growing bigger every day. If we return to this question a year from now, I think we will see a massive difference in the number of posts being made by one puppeteer controlling a number of farmed accounts that use AI. It is easier than ever to operate a farmed account because it has become an automated process for account farmers.

What I fear about this is that the day will come when you will be able to tell an AI: "write a text about X but that it cannot be detected as written by an AI" and it will do it correctly, in an undetectable way. Then account farmers like this will be able to make gold, although I don't know what effect it will have on everything globally. For example, if when visiting a forum you can't be sure whether you are talking to humans or to text massively written by AIs, I don't know if people will lose interest in the forums.
198  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Going all in and losing the bet on: March 29, 2024, 05:41:35 AM
I am sure they are all fair, it's just that the possibility of losing the game may be minimal but it's never 0.

Look, nowadays I don't play poker as much but when I played at least 1K hands every day and there were days when I played 5K, I can assure you that it was common to see plays with a probability of less than 5% every day. Improbable events do happen. Things like a fish paying you on the flop with nothing (other than a backdoor gutshot , a gutshot opening on the turn, and the magic card appearing on the river for him have not surprised me for a long time. That's what you should have a good bankroll for.
199  Economy / Gambling / Re: MetaWin.com | The First WEB3 Casino on: March 29, 2024, 05:34:49 AM
You have to place a few thousand bets (10k or more) to verify the RTP of high volatility slots game. Where the low volatility slots game RTP can be verified with a few hundred to 1k bets only. However, you have to place at least 100k bets to verify the RTP more accurately. It is good that MetaWin has highlighted the RTP and volatility of each game on their website. Looks like they have really added the games with the highest possible RTP from the provider.

But how do you collect all the results? In poker we have programs that collect all the moves and with them we can make statistical analysis but playing slots?
200  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Explanation of anonymous transactions in Europe on: March 29, 2024, 05:15:12 AM
But I think LoyceV already posted that in another thread, didn't he?

I can't take a site filled with ads and links to their own site seriously. When I search for this, all I find is dozens of other crypto related sites posting the same "news".
Here's an opposing article: Let's Debunk Claims That the EU is Banning Anonymous Crypto Transactions or Self-Custodial Wallets. After skimming through, I'm not worried.

Although it's not bad to talk in a separate thread about it. So I understand that under 1.000€ you could transact without identifying yourself with a company in the EU, and P2P I imagine that there are no limits (apart from the fact that they would be very difficult to enforce).
