2021  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: EBAY might accept BITCOIN on: March 09, 2022, 07:43:50 PM
Tired of eBay saying such things over and over without actually acting on it. They've been like this since forever...

Isn't a simple process for them to do it, they have to figure out the legislation and the taxes for all the users who decide to pay with cryptos.

Looks like tomorrow will be the day that we were waiting for.

Quote
CEO Jamie Iannone told TheStreet that while eBay is not accepting crypto currently, on March 10, “we’re going to go deeper on all of these things, payments, advertising, our focus categories.”

And it's important to mention that eBay already Debuts an NTF Service, so, they are getting closer to the cryptos.

2022  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The paradox of arbitrage betting (and how to make money on it) on: March 09, 2022, 06:44:58 PM
I have read in the past about people making big money with this technique, but I have never tried it. You need a big bankroll to make a profit and there is always a risk.

We could try to do arbitrage betting on UFC but sometimes the fights end in a Draw, and that would be a game over for us. And as OP mentioned, sportsbooks keep an eye on the user's bets to try to avoid this practice and they could ban our accounts.

I was looking at the site and the design is really bad, you should hire a frontend developer to make it looks professional. And you need a Privacy Policy if you want to force the users to register with an EMail. Here is a huge risk for the users if they expose their mails.

About the provably fair, I don't like the fact that users can't change their user seed, I know it's generated by the blockchain but that should be in the user's hands.

While I try to register the account I make a mistake with the mail, and now when I open the site I'm stuck in the verify page where I need to confirm the mail, I can't get back to the main page.
2024  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Blame Game in gambling on: March 09, 2022, 03:19:25 PM
The blame game should only be on us, parents are to be blamed if they'll allow their children to gamble or if they have no idea their children are gambling. It's a matter of responsibility, we all know that gambling is risky, and gambling without understanding the risk will most likely result to a devastated life.

We can't blame the family or the game, it was all the factors together. We should ask ourselves what happen in his mind to take the suicidal decision and we can be sure it was more than 1 factor. We don't know about the Debts he had or how much was his total loss with gambling. But when someone takes a decision as this guy did, it's because things were really fucked up.

I was wondering if I can do an origami art?
...
You can also try reviewing all the previous art submission to give you an idea of what you're going to do with your origami art. Here are few of them.

...

Once I win with a song, so, any piece of art is valid if it follows the rules. And one of the main rules is to make some Roobet related artwork. It needs to have the Roobet logo or the kangaroo. If you have the right elements and follow the rules then your artwork should be eligible and that applies to origami too.

You could start with a paper sheet with Roobet's logo, and make an origami kangaroo, that would be a nice way to participate in the next one Wink
2027  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [Complete!] Bitcoin block data (550 GB): inputs, outputs and transactions on: March 08, 2022, 05:51:22 PM
Hello LoyceV.

After reading the thread I see you are having problems with the amount of data and the way to share it, and I was thinking about a solution or how I would do it.

You need a VPS with a huge disk and unlimited band bandwidth, and those aren't cheap at all, but I know a cheap way to handle this.

You can buy a laptop (workstation) with a 1TB SSD and configure it as a server with NO-IP. This way your bandwidth will be limited only by upload and download speed, but not for the amount of data. And you can run the server in your house.

If you like the idea and want some help with the server configuration just let me know.  Wink
2028  Economy / Gambling / Re: Can you suggest a crypto spoortsbookmakers with a diposit bonus? on: March 08, 2022, 05:12:59 PM
That's a common promotion, but you have to be aware that there is a rollover requirement, and it's not easy to exploit the promotion.

Users need to be sure about the promotion and their requirements before making the deposit. Most of the welcome bonus has a rollover and a profit limit. So, if you are playing with the casino money you will not be able to win a lot.

I would recommend OP to play with his own money, that way you will be able to withdraw your money when you want and you will have the chance to win huge amounts.
2029  Economy / Services / Re: Looking for a programmer to audit a code - Paid in $20 btc or doge. on: March 08, 2022, 04:06:47 PM
Hi, I’m looking for someone trusted in these parts to look over some code for me. It's a liquidity trading bot  for pancake swap, but I’m a bit skeptical of how cheap it was. It seems legit but I fear it may be a scam bot, especially since it seems to be quite easy with these.

From what I read,  the scam they pull  is they swap the return address from the one linked to the contract, but one you don’t have access to. I think it’s written in python but compiled in solidity. I just need someone that can assure me it’s not just sending any deposits to an alternative account.


We need to take a look at the source code to verify how it works, if the code it's in solidity then you can try the bot with a low amount and then take a look at the smart contract. But remember, all the coins in your wallet will be at risk if you try that. That's why the right way to do it is on a virtual machine with a new wallet just for testing proposes.

Here are some sources:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/70356/is-it-possible-for-a-user-to-see-the-solidity-sour.html
https://etherscan.io/verifyContract

Before running any cheap bot you should be sure that you understand the code and the process, because a lot of people get hacked every day by running random codes, so, please don't be one of them.
2030  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance Stop Accepting Visa & Mastercard Cards in Russia on: March 08, 2022, 03:30:11 PM
Binance will stop the acceptance of visa and mastercards in russia. Does this mean that they do not want the russians to convert their money into crypto or are they planning to completely ban the exchange for the russian users ?

CZ told that this move was not in their control meaning there was external pressure on binance for this action ?

More details:-
Binance To Stop Accepting Mastercard, Visa Cards in Russia

As Binance mentioned, this is not a Binance-Russia problem, they will allow the Russian users, but Binance and Mastercard get banned in Russia as part of the sanctions. You can read more about the ban in the next article posted in the guardian.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/mar/06/russians-visa-mastercard-ban-domestic-purchases-mir

I think this applies not only to Binance, other exchanges will get affected.
2031  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: March 08, 2022, 05:09:48 AM
Just curious if there have been word from UFC heads (or from other MMA organizations) or any speculation floating around to completely block Russian fighters in light of the ongoing conflict. Most sports organizations have already done so including boxing. It would be so bad to strip someone's hard fought belt because of their nationality.

Looks like there will be some problems with the next fight in London. Dana White wants to have the Russian fighters there but he smells the troubles coming.

In this interview he talks more about the topic:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJkZPNfKJBY

And Dana even Jokes saying he has Trump's number, but he doesn't have Biden's phone to talk with him to let the fighters do their job.
2032  Economy / Gambling / Re: Vulnerabilities in gambling websites in past on: March 07, 2022, 07:56:07 PM
...
Signup bonus usually comes up with the wagering requirements. You need to wager a particular amount before you are eligible for the withdrawal of that bonus. Even if we consider it legal, to create as many accounts, no one can't be lucky to retain all the balance in gambling in order to fulfill the wagering requirements. He will lose money and most of the accounts will be zero.
 
If he is lucky to survive and make money, he can withdraw but there is a likely chance that gambling sites will find it fishy that many accounts are being made from a single IP and they may ask for KYC for suspected cases.

This is right, most of the casinos that offer a welcome bonus have the policy of 'one account per user', and if they find someone cheating they will freeze all the accounts.

Users can get caught by their IP, but cookies can make this job too.

Vitalik Buterin and Lex Fridman have this good explanation about why Craig is not Satoshi. Craig wasn't able to sign transactions with satoshis addy, that would be the right way to prove he was Satoshi, but he couldn't prove it.
2034  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Accepting Bitcoin donation anonymously on: March 07, 2022, 05:27:01 PM
If the goal is to get the donations anonymously then you should consider another coin like Monero where transactions can't be traced.

I don't get clear why they want to store the bitcoin donation online, that's not the secure way to handle this. All the donations should go to a cold wallet and then send them to a hot wallet when you will spend those donations. That's would be the secure way.
2035  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying BTC vs Mining it on: March 07, 2022, 04:52:55 PM
Mining has a cost and isn't fast to recover your investment. I would recommend buying the coins and holding them until the price bump. That's the right way to make a nice profit with cryptos without a hard effort.

You should consider mining only if you can make a huge investment and only if you have cheap electricity.
2036  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bitcoin-instant credit?? on: March 06, 2022, 01:48:24 AM
There is a problem with the instant credit on bitcoin and other altcoins. Users can abuse this with a double spend, the users can do some fast bets and if they win they can wait for the confirmation, and if they lose, they can make a double spend for a new address.

And that's why most of the crypto services always ask for 1 or more confirmations before you can use your balance.
2037  Economy / Gambling / Re: Vulnerabilities in gambling websites in past on: March 04, 2022, 10:23:34 PM
As you mention, there have been a lot of Vulnerabilities in the past. I have personally reported vulns is some gambling sites, the ones I remember was:

2.- Prime dice
Some years ago this casino gets an update where each time you make a withdrawal you get back 0.0001... so if the min withdraw was 0.001 then you could earn easy money with this. I depo 0.1btc to my account, then send a tip of 0.001 to a second account and withdraw it. i get 0.0001 back, then I send another 0.001 tip and now withdraw 0.0011, I get back 0.0001, and I repeat the process a lot of times. Before I finish with the starting 0.1 the site blocks my account with close to 0.03 on it. and I never recover that money. I was just getting information to report the bug, ut for them I abuse the system and they never give me my money back.


Just saying, what if the bug itself was intended for instances like these. They will create such bug and trap somebody who notices it, and by the time they put more bitcoin and withdraws it, that moment they will send you the notice of abusing the system. I am not accusing them for that but is there a chance we can counter something like this if these was positive? Just expressing my thoughts though, nothing personal and would gladly read some answers.

Well if you want to read the full story here is the old thread from 2014:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=800264.0

There I explained 3 bug and how users can exploit them, the intention was to give a warning to the casino, and after that they fixed the bug.

The answer I got from Stunna was:

There's a difference between responsibly reporting a bug and getting caught abusing one.

But he was right, I should report it in the moment I found it.
2038  Economy / Gambling / Re: [GUIDE] 10 complete steps for new casino into this forum on: March 04, 2022, 04:44:00 PM
Quote
1. You need to have a lot money to start.

What about token casinos, they print the money with an smart contract and use that for the game. I don't think people really needs a lot of money to start a casino, with smart contracts we can get a cheap bankroll.

Quote
3. Create announcement with well organized design.
4. Various advertisements.
5. On forum advertisements. 

All these points are part of Marketing, and marketing it's one of the most important things for the casinos, that's how they get new customers.

Quote
8. Get a gambling license.
Some casinos don't have one, and that doesn't make for them scams. A good provably fair engine can cover a lack of license
2039  Economy / Games and rounds / Re: Bitcoin Alpha Challenge 815.85631744 BTC on: March 03, 2022, 07:59:23 PM
Looks like a lot of people are asking how legit is this challenge. I know this is the bitcoin forum and crazy stuff happens here.

We can focus on the evidence:

Everyone,  The op is my uncle. He suffered from cancer and chose euthanasia after posting. I hope you don't treat him so harshly.
About the private key, I don't know either, I only help him with listings on opensea.
According to his will, I will do the following things next
1:Maintain the opensea project until someone cracks it
2:Half of opensea's income will be donated and the other half will be sent to the above address
3:There are 7 reminders left, one will be released every week

Even I have been trying to solve the puzzle we are not sure this is legit, OP hasn't posted anything about the opensea account and he is not promoting it (yet). But if this giveaway takes that direction is would be really sad for all.

I want to offer a deal for OP. Give me all the hints and if I can find the key you will keep 700btc, I will keep 15.85, and the rest will be shared with the forum community. I mean 100BTC for the community is a good deal for all.

Sing a message with the addy, or share all the clues, just prove this is real.

Aún no hay noticias, pero en Twitter es trend topic.

Los usuarios de Metamask tienen bloqueada la restricción a la red de ETH y sus Tokens. Esta es la primera sanción que podemos ver relacionada con criptomonedas y no dudemos que el impacto será grande.


Es por eso que nunca me gustaron los Tokens, Si no son tus llaves privadas no son tus monedas.
