Hey i found a vulnerability in a gambling website that allows you to consistently win money.
No bs. With a bot $$$ 100k a day (can prove mathematically)
The problem is i need atleast 20k.
Are there any high rep members willing to work together on this? I just ask for shares in profits.
"Go big or go home". This person is trying to phish for a "high rep" member who has likely been around in the game for a long time, in the hopes that one of these early adopters with a pile of Bitcoin available will lower their guard in a greedy effort to get richer. Even in the very best case scenario, in some imaginary world where this was not a complete scam, the other party in this trade off (the casino) will shut down the exploit so quick that it will vanish overnight as it gets paused and patched. You can bet that any casino worth it's salt will likely catch on way faster than a day. Even if it were to last a day, you will have made $40k in this arrangement with zero protection from losing your money the instant you hand it over. No amount of convincing from an internet stranger will change that fact. |

The United States has linked North Korean hackers to the theft of hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of cryptocurrency tied to the popular online game Axie Infinity, the U.S. Treasury Department said on Thursday.
Ronin, a blockchain network that lets users transfer crypto in and out of the game, said digital cash worth almost $615 million was stolen on March 23.
No one has explicitly assigned blame for the hack, but on Thursday the U.S. Treasury identified a digital currency address used by the hackers as being under the control of a North Korean hacking group often dubbed “Lazarus.”
“The United States is aware that the DPRK has increasingly relied on illicit activities — including cybercrime — to generate revenue for its weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs as it tries to evade robust U.S. and U.N. sanctions,” a Treasury Department spokesperson said, using the initials of North Korea’s official name. The United States says the Lazarus hacking group is controlled by the Reconnaissance General Bureau, North Korea’s primary intelligence bureau. It has been accused of involvement in the “WannaCry” ransomware attacks, hacking of international banks and customer accounts, and the 2014 cyberattacks on Sony Pictures Entertainment. U.S. links North Korean hacker group to Axie Infinity crypto theftFinally the responsible for the biggest crypto theft of all times was revealed. Not only United States, but also Chainalysis and Elliptic Blockchain analytics firms confirmed the information. I don't know why, but Sky Mavis (the company owner of Axie Infinity) and CrowdStrike, company hired to investigate the theft, didn't want to comment anything regards the recent findings. For me it's absurd to see there are sovereign countries filling their treasuries with stolen funds from virtual robbery practices. What kind of nation is this? It's long been known that North Korea will stoop to any level in order to fund their government, so it's somewhat unsurprising that they would target a supposedly anonymous cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. They have the resources of a nation state, likely thousands of hackers all probing targets every single day and there will never be any legal retaliation against them so they can do it all day long. It only takes getting lucky with one exploit, even zero-days, for them to break into exchanges and steal many millions as we see here. It's not like hacking into a bank which leaves a paper trail, they can simply vanish with the money and this may always be a weakness of Bitcoin. |

That's the way to know, mate . if you want to know about casinos, you can find out by doing a Google search. And I don't understand what you mean by terms . Do you want to understand the type of games? Then if you do a little Google search with the names of the games, you will be able to know about the rules of the games. And the rest of the casino game terms are given by different gambling websites like them. I think you understand.
Going on Google will give you list of casinos based on your preference like KYC,slots and sportsbook option but then the second step is to check the legit ones because many scam casinos are also operating in the market at the time so need to stay away from them only if you know about it.You should be familiar about the terms in gambling to make yourself in beneficial stage. If you're new to crypto betting then Google is an absolute minefield that should be best avoided. It is full of carefully crafted adverts which are embedded seamlessly in the search results that can even fool a regular user, it's really ruthless when it comes to gambling and the money at stake. Plus the highest results are often the biggest money earners, who can afford to pay for the best advertising and engineer their way up the search results, but it usually means the player ends up paying out more. You've already got a superb selection of casinos and sportbooks shown on this very forum, just look for threads with the most posts and have a read through the last few pages to make sure there is no major upset going on. |

While it is really nice to see the price of a Bitcoin transaction continue to fall, I wonder if it is in part due to more market participants who are moving smaller amounts rather than the processing power of the blockchain improving. It's also worth considering that to the average consumer this is still an additional cost that they may not face when moving money between bank accounts or conducting a retail transaction (even if the retailer themselves pay and put the price on top of the product/service). If whale wallets are currently sitting dormant or the larger players have generally made their moves in previous months, then it could misleadingly effect the average fee. |

Ever thought of ways to increase your wealth through some online gaming platforms? got you covered as it's the best online gaming platform that offers its users chances to increase their wealth within a short period of time.
Bit of a transparent and weak attempt to advertise your own website there, without offering anything useful. To actually answer your question though, the best cryptocurrency casino I've seen around is probably Sportsbet.io because it covers such a wide range, it has very fast deposit and withdraws, excellent customer service representatives, lots of different crypto is accepted, it is constantly receiving new functionality updates and stays online pretty reliably. The biggest draw for me was also the huge amount of free betting offers I've seen them run in the past, which I've seen lots on fiat currency sportbooks but hardly ever on cryptocurrency ones. |

I'm asking this question seriously, though I'm going to qualify that by saying that I'm not planning on doing anything like this. It's just a fantasy of mine, and the question very much has to do with economics, i.e., it basically has to do with economies in various parts of the world and the cost of living. **Edit: This thread would be appropriate for Bitcoin Discussion as well, but mods, please don't move it there. This isn't a thread that's meant to be funny, and I'd like thoughtful replies--which I won't get if the thread gets buried in a picosecond within the wasteland of what should be the most important section on the entire forum.**
Let's say a few of the Chipmixer crowd wanted to escape whatever tyranny they were living under in their country or countries (I picked that campaign because I think it's the highest-paying one, but correct me if I'm wrong). We'll assume for the sake of argument that the campaign is going to continue indefinitely and that each member (let's say five in total) make the maximum number of posts per week, earning $300 worth of bitcoin in the process. Let's further assume that these Chipmixer snobs demand only the best--Havana cigars, a large dwelling with a decent amount of land and no neighbors, a wine cellar (to be filled), and all the illicit and legal substances their cadre of well-endowed women can procure. And a lawyer on retainer.
My question is whether there's any place on earth where $1500/week could allow five roommates to live very comfortably--perhaps not as boss-like as I described above, but maybe at least the big house and property. Over the years I've heard stories that Filipino members were able to pay for a good weekly allocation of food just from campaign earnings, and they amounted to a lot less the last time I participated in one of those discussions. I'm not picking on the Philippines; it's just something I remember and I don't even know if it's true. What I'm fairly sure of is that there really do exist bounty farms within single households, where multiple family members are all on bitcointalk spamming away and earning who knows how much.
That tells me that there's something to it, because there's no way father, sons, mom, and whatever grandparents are still alive would be bounty hunting if it weren't at least a little bit lucrative. So I'd love to know how far campaign earnings ($1500 per week for 5 people in my example) could be stretched. Are there actually places out there where one could not only survive but thrive by earning bitcoin on the forum?
<and how does one go about getting citizenship?>
I'll lock this thread if anyone reports that this has been discussed ad nauseam. But if it has, I've certainly missed it.
There are many places around the world where you could survive on that sort of money. Infact outside of Europe and North America, along with a few other high cost places to live like Australia, it can actually be a huge sum of money. However it is all relative, you might be able to "live like a king" in certain places, but even then you would end up more like a slum lord in some dirt poor village. I would much rather live a comfy life, maybe in the cheaper parts of Europe, and pick up a part time job to boost earnings, rather than move to a place where you might even need to hire security and you would constantly be looking over your shoulder out of fear. |

Yup. Just like what the title says. I have recently been recommended or referred (since it was a referral link that got me to register) by a friend of a friend into an online sports betting site. Being new to such things, I thought I should ask opinions from veterans here whether such things do exist or not. Although that friend claims that he had already made huge amount of cash from this site, I am still pretty skeptical and haven't topped up yet. But I gotta admit it is pretty fun and appealing to me, just wanna make sure before I put some money into it. I would really appreciate some online gambling veteran insight  ) Edit: this is the website - lmb.ccThe site is unclear it's not clickable, the domain is unsafe according to one article Are .cc sites safe?
It should be noted that Google has dropped the . co.cc domain from its search index, which will prevent many users from getting infected, but this will not stop systems that are using . cc domain names from attacking enterprise networks. Security experts have suggested dropping all It's not recommended for a casino to link their casino to a .CC domain and if it's true that they are returning your money when you lose, how can they sustain and how about when you win, will they allow you to withdraw any project that offers you unbelivable offers are dubious, and have hidden agenda. It's quite clear that this whole site is a sham and a scam. The way the original poster even posed the question makes me think they are in some way connected to the whole operation, because nobody in their right mind would assume that losing bets would be returned - it undermines the whole point of a sportsbook, which would last about 5 minutes if it operated such a model. It's very useful to see that even the domain extension they used for it cannot be trusted, most likely because it is a free option and that helps keep this really low budget. They're literally trying to entice one or two people to deposit, after which they will run away, rename it and repeat. |

I think its the influence of the celebrities that they are trying to lessen the effect. Kids will always learn gambling from peers no matter how we prevent that from happening, eventually they'd find their way to wager something but its still good to have such law. Fans do buy what the celebrities promote.
We often see fans doing what celebrities do regardless of whether it's good or bad. Besides the curiosity factor, fans see it's something cool if they can follow their idols so we can see a lot of different cases of fans trying to follow their idols. But kids who often see celebrities plastered on a lot of media or advertisements will get the influence and effect and if it's about gambling, they can ask their peers. It can have a bad effect because their peers do not necessarily know what they want, so children need the help of their parents or older people. I agree. If your peers are gambling then there will be a chance that you will gamble as well, especially when you are a kid, that is the sort of way you get into "bad" things. Not that gambling is bad, but when you are 13 years old, you shouldn't do that for sure, when you are 33, nobody will care. However, celebs actually promoting is still bad, it is worse than peers. I mean when your parents tell you that gambling is bad, and it is your peers who do it, you could actually say "maybe my peers could be wrong", but when it is a celeb that does the same thing you could say "how would my parents know, this huge celeb does it! it must be right!" and that is the scary part. Everyone is chasing money these days, there used to be a shred more dignity and integrity, it just seems like there are so many options for gambling companies that they will simply move on to the next "A/B/C list" celebrity until they get someone who will bend to their will or wallet. I would say that it is more the fault of regulators in every country who often seem so overwhelmed that they simply give up enforcing the law, or take such a long time to fine one person in order to settle an example, it actually has the same effect as zero regulation. More governments need to introduce percentage of total wealth fines instead of tiny fixed amounts which often become meaningless figures to multi-millionaires. |

So I am sure this has been discussed multiple times before, however as I enter into the rabbit hole of Bitcoin, I am interested what others see as lacking in terms of how to get this to the masses. I run a node and LN Channels, however not being a developer, I wonder what other roles are out there. Would like to hear your thoughts.
Thanks!
I think an effective exchange that is on the level of Paypal and move funds effectively between users. That could increase speed and minimize fees which are the two major obstacles to wider adoption in my opinion. There may be plenty of exchanges out there which already do this, but none have reached the worldwide level and user base of Paypal. That may never happen because there are many countries out there who take a very unfair stance on anything crypto related and prevent millions, if not billions, from being able to access it. Having this middleman sort of operation might also somewhat defeat the purpose of even transacting in Bitcoin but at least it removes banks from the equation. |

To be honest all i need is just cash machine ATM and card to use on store.
As all my money and many people money in on crypto exchangers they feel more secure and even much better liquity then regulars banks.
We dont need old banking system my crypto exchanger is my bank i dont need regular banks anymore what we need is to directly connect cash machines ATM s with crypto so its cobvient to use cash.
Yesterday my bank told me men you need to update some information i said cmon...i dont need even bank all i need is just cash and to keep my wealth safe stable coins so i saidi dont have to do nothing nowdays who needs bank ?
Lets be we are ready to adond all banks i dont care if they close down all banks same day and they are slow to use it for example i want to semd money to china to usa or russia to usa or uk to canada...its a pain whole process but USDT tron stable coin its instant i pay only 1$ and its fast and anonoynmous.
So im ready i dont need nobdy dont even business can start use stable coins its time old way not work and banks are old the banking system now days is like windows 90
Good luck with that. You seem to have a disconnect in your brain between the organization behind who issues your atm card and the huge payment network behind it. You might be incredibly lucky to have a large sum of Bitcoin available to you, but that is a very rare situation and not one that many people will have. It's the equivalent of winning to lottery, so it would make sense that you are either a liar or you're just here to brag - neither of which is a particularly good personality trait. The reality is that for most of the world and for the foreseeable future people will be reliant on the banking infrastructure that has existed for many decades. |

Almost every week there are one or two new casinos launching here, this section is already a big number of casinos there are good and bad new casinos here, these new casinos know that for them to stay in the game and be competitive they have offer new things and bonuses and giveaways.
Are you still supporting new casinos even if you're already playing in so many casinos do you still have room for new casino to deposit and play?
It seems like any new cryptocurrency focused casino is going to have a tough time now, unless they come up with a truly novel idea that is hard to replicate elsewhere - like when the crash game exploded in popularity. There are already so many high quality offerings out there, which have years with of experience and features, that you would need to put a huge amount of resources to break into the market. Even if you are able to put a fully secured, staffed and funded casino out there - it'll take a lot of advertising or free promotion giveaways, which will most likely leak a lot of money at the start, to really establish a solid player base. Growing your reputation is also something that takes a long time, even over a year, before people start to see how you function. |

Is it really the best way to invest your money?
Because of the way Bitcoin generates value or becomes more expensive, it could potentially lose all its value and became worthless.
Who assures you that this will not happen?
You could really say the same about any fiat currency. They are all just units of value we use to exchange for goods or services at a later point. Now, Bitcoin is a lot more volatile than most fiat currencies so that is where the distinction really comes into play. If you woke up tomorrow and discovered that the savings in your bank account could only buy 80% of what they bought yesterday, you'd likely be very annoyed. It can go up in value as well, but people generally like stability and consistency. I have a feeling that for Bitcoin at least it will improve over time as the amount of holders goes up and this should bring the volatility down. It's actually rather useful having a global currency that does not have to sit between the whims of local exchange banks. |

Greetings Everyone,
My name is Mitch, and I would love to propose an investment opportunity. For the past few months, I’ve been working on a website - 961bet.net. Which is a new match betting website targeting Lebanese people and world wide. The site has been up for a few weeks and has gotten a lot of support from different users, however we are now in a bad financial situation and I’m here to look if anyone would like to invest into my project, to further increase the development of the website.
About The Website:
The site is a crypto casino. We currently support two different cryptocurrencies for both Deposits and Withdrawals (BTC, ETH,) and P2P (will be explained down below). . Additional funding to the website will allow us to add more games and fix the overall design of the website, making it more user friendly.
How P2P works?
I'm looking to target lebanese people since I'm lebanese too, there is only 1 site here that operate here and their making millions per day, my website is only match betting for now, might add live slots later on depends on the request, Now I'm gonna explain few things, lebanese people have been struggling to use their money online due to the economic crisis here, so what's the plan is the deposit method will be face 2 face, I have agents that can take care of it, for example I gave the agent X, 40 million LBP, his job is to sell those 40 million LBP on site to people for real cash, after that I collect the money from the agents and turn them into USDT, I could explain more and more how things work but trust me there is ALOT of money to be made and I need a little push
I could share the business plan in dms
Investment:
We are looking for somebody who can invest anything between $1000 and higher. Investors will receive a portion/percentage of the project, which includes full access to our admin panel. This percentage or portion can be discussed and negotiated over in my inbox (linked below). You will also be able to develop the website and supply us with more ideas for updates and futuristic plans.
Discord: Mitch#0299
Telegram:@Mitch1900
A lot of red flags here. Even if you have put together a reasonable, very basic, pitch I think anyone with money - especially the sums you're aiming to raise - should definitely not hand it over. Unfortunately Lebanon is a very poor place and I don't think gambling would even be legal there, so how can you possibly run a gambling operation without being in complete danger? It is also somewhat of a lawless country so if that is really your base and you decide to disappear with the money, there is nothing anyone can do to get it back. Beyond that, it's a rather ugly looking domain and it takes huge resources to break into this market - even if everything was legit, you will face constant attacks and a few thousand extra dollars will get you nowhere. |

Not a pro on these fields but other third-party auditors and independent sources are checking the reliability and the integrity of these casinos with such algorithms. They themselves probably play on these platforms, and if they see any irregularities on the way the algorithm behaves, they would then try to dig deeper and check whether or not the algorithm is to be trusted or not. Of course, they can publish reports that have some tinge of malice in it, and it's really the judgment and due diligence of the player that will matter the most in the end.
The standard of having a third party audit the code was enough for most people, but since cryptocurrency casinos appeared and gave the opportunity to the players to verify the results were not changed after the fact I do not see this as enough and I am sure many people agree with me, unless I can see the results for myself then there will always be some kind of lingering doubt within myself about the results, which is why I do not gamble in any game in which I cannot verify the results on my own. In fairness, these attempts at "provably fair" setups are a major step forward when it comes to casino play. In comparison to a real world casino which can have all sorts of settings and leave the player absolutely at the mercy of an opaque system, it offers at least a shred of extra credibility. I'm sure it varies country to country, but I do not know if there is a consistent auditing method for these real casinos beyond making sure that the games do not lose money - the payouts can almost definitely be manipulated on demand. In some places like Vegas where player reward cards are swiped in, this makes it even easier for them to regulate any potential profits you might make as you move around. |

How Fiat Will Always Be The Norm
With all the ongoing growth with cryptocurrency has created many different avenues of direction in many ways. It does create more control for the people of their money but this is only successful when someone educates themselves on this system.
However, the majority of the population are not willing to do this and still only see FIAT as the main money system. If they hear about Bitcoin, is only seen as a store of value or a like a stock to get more fiat.
Also the media, corporations and governments are still successful in making everyone use FIAT regardless of the inflation that is happening. Come to think on it, people do not see that fiat is the cause of inflation at all.
More and more inflation is happening with more money being printed all the time. Yet people still demand more services from the government which creates more money to be printed and more inflation.
Yet people do not see this as a problem at all, since the demand for specific services keeps increasing.
Many people just do not understand that they are encouraging inflation. All these factors play in the role that fiat is here to stay. People just don’t see the problems of fiat nor able to see the benefits of crypto.
This will be for sure a spiral down to something really bad in the next while. What type of solutions are there to fix this problem?
It is a bit of a catch-22 situation and you definitely identified one of the main reasons - all these people reciting "HODL" are stuck in the mindset that they own a form of digital gold. Some sort of unique and very rare that they must keep forever - like Smegle chasing the ring to Mordor. Many people around the world are lucky if they can save anything at all, they need a currency that is instant, convenient and functional in day to day life. While other cryptocurrency might at some point get to that stage, Bitcoin itself has many drawbacks associated with those things. I think the best way to use Bitcoin is for money repatriation for overseas workers, who are able to avoid greedy banks and money changers when sending relatively large chunks of money back home. |

Paying for gaz with usdt or usdc for russian gas could be the neutral option instead of using btc becouse putim dont dont have that good exchanger to exchange that large ammount of money to rubles or btc unstable big volatility not option but usdt or usdc has good volatility also you dont need to exvhange this usdt usdc are stable so it could be used very for large transactions.
Also western countries can buy easy the stable coins a lot of liquity so its a most logical and sustaineble way.
Russia is trying to break any associations with the American dollar and the whole Russian government mentality is that America is the enemy - although the politicians at the top of Russia are the ones doing the most damage to that country. It makes no sense for them to break from using the United States dollar to using a United States Dollar token. The whole thing is ridiculous and illogical in the first place because Russia is looking to create imaginary enemies since their economy is a pathetic joke. They are the largest country in the world by land mass but they produce very little and a large part of their income is from fossil fuels or precious metals, it has barely changed since over 20 years in Soviet times which shows they are extremely unproductive. |

I watched a Youtube "Live" video last night, where there was a discussion between Elon Musk and 3 other people. It was more focused on things that would make Bitcoin mining more efficient and "cleaner" for the environment. One of the things that was mentioned there.... was Elon Musk ..asking the question "If it would be a nice thing if Twitter advertisers could pay in Bitcoin. Now, that got me thinking...... imagine if we can convince only one of these large social media platforms to accept Bitcoin as a payment option. It will cause a ripple affect in the Social media scene and it will be a good push for Bitcoin as a method of payment. I hope now that Elon Musk have some say at Twitter, he will make things happen for Bitcoin BTC too.  (He owns more than 9% of Twitter... but he declined to be on the board) How much will the Bitcoin price spike.... if a decision like this was approved..... and will this boost the global economy? This seems like he is trying to mix business decisions with his coercive and manipulative strategy to take over Twitter. Frankly he seems like a very dangerous person to be in charge of such a platform. I'd rather never know the owner, or at least have someone who is very softly spoken, than some megaphone who comes out with any old trash that catches his attention. Elon has funded some marvelous projects and ideas in the past, so kudos to him for that, but he is not mentally stable and in many cases acts impulsively. If Twitter is such a powerful platform for free speech, as he suggests, then he should leave it along because he is not the right person to control it. |

Hungry for financial flexibility, a California man named Dylan shelled out a measly $150 a year to eat every meal at Six Flags Magic Mountain in order to save thousands, pay off his student loan debt, get married and purchase a house in Los Angeles. “You can pay around $150 for unlimited, year-round access to Six Flags, which includes parking and two meals a day,” Dylan, 33, explained to Mel Magazine Monday. “If you time it right, you could eat both lunch and dinner there every day.” https://nypost.com/2021/10/27/man-spent-150-yearly-on-six-flags-food-paid-off-student-debt/ Six Flags ends unlimited dining plan that went viralAll Six Flags parks have dropped the Unlimited Dining Plan and now offer dining add-ons as part of a new season pass program. This is an old story about a man who paid $150 a year for food, eating two meals at six flags theme park, everyday. Since this story went viral, the theme parks all you can eat for $150 plan has recently been canceled. Still a great example of how life hacks and out of the box thinking can get people ahead. Perfect example of great opportunities in life flying beneath the radar. ... Other amusement parks like valley fair: May still carry similar all you can eat deals for less than $100/year. (Although they may not include the cost of parking, which is where the deal may not be perfect) It takes a certain kind of ingenuity and perseverance to be able to pull things like this off but you have to congratulate him for sticking to it. I have to wonder about the quality of his diet if this was his primary meal, but I guess many people live off worse. It's a shame that earning such an advanced form of education ends up costing people so much, when it is so beneficial to the wider society to have extremely knowledgeable people. We're all in the same rat race, but it would be nice if the government did more to bring down the costs for people who want to go through college and university. An uneducated society can bring all kinds of inequality and problems, plus less chance to push through major advancements in tech/medicine/science which are great for the economy of a country. |

One of the casinos where I gamble have gone totally overboard with their marketing campaigns. They are spending millions of dollars on marketing and to fund this, they introduced several projects to increase traffic to their site. Now, I am not going to say which site it is.... but I guess a lot of people play there. The site is great ....but the gambling experience has deteriorated... because the RTP has been nerf'ed to hell and gone to pay for these projects. Now my question is this... do you prefer that a casino offer loads of promotions and campaigns and sponsorships and sacrifice RTP in favor of that.... or will you rather have a decent gambling experience with a better RTP? Let's discuss...  I've actually seen in the suspicions in the past, at least with fiat currency casinos, that you might be penalized for taking advantage of offers. It's obviously going to vary wildly between different casino setups, but it makes sense - casinos are in business to make money, not be taken advantage of by shrewd players who chase bonuses. If you regularly take advantage of such promotions and are even able to turn into a "winning" player because of it, then eventually your account will be marked and you may lose these perks. When your account is blacklisted it can result in even worse odds and you'll stop receiving any offers. All that being said, there are lots of casinos to offering these things and a skilled player can grind a small profit out of these benefits. |

You see, this is the problem, and the example of Wikipedia is a good one. Everyone comments here and there that it's "wonderful" and a big step when a company accepts Bitcoin. It's all well and good, but the reality is nobody uses it. In terms of return on investment, why would a company bother adding an option if nobody uses it? So it may be great to start by admitting that most people are only interested in crypto for speculation. And a lot of you here too. That's not the purpose of a cryptocurrency at all. Everything else (technology, decentralization, privacy) people don't care about at all. By the way, Cryptocurrency investors are psychopaths, study finds  If you think Amazon for example will start to add BTC as a payment option I can tell you the Apocalypse will be faster to come. There are very few places where people actually use it, such as i.e. Venezuela with its inflation, the Iranian government, or other countries seeking to evade economic sanctions...If we remove the reasons for politics, geopolitics, and economics, what is left? Almost nothing. According to the 2021 financial year, the donations in bitcoins represented a value of only 0.08% of the foundation's revenues the community has been voting on the issue since January 2022 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Stop_accepting_cryptocurrency_donations#VotingOver 70% voted to stop accepting cryptocurrencies for the donations (unsigned contributions and new accounts were not taken into account to avoid attempts to manipulate votes) And as donations have been possible since 2014 or 2015, I think people have had enough time to do something. It's a bit sad for Wikipedia, personally, it's one of my favorite sites where I can spend hours on it I think you raise some very good points and I'm not sure the crypto market will ever be big enough to support what the relative minority here are looking to get. Until Bitcoin can become instant, rather than relying on multiple confirmations, there will always be a faster payment network out there and in the age of instant gratification that will be unbeatable. Maybe exchange wallets will allow that sort of functionality, but again that defeats the point of having a separate decentralized network. Energy usage is also an ongoing concern in a world where oil is funding warmongers, so anything that is inefficient will naturally have to be left behind and that is the very basis for solving the puzzles to unlock new Bitcoin. |
