1341  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there a "betfair" for bitcoin up and running yet? on: February 14, 2019, 09:30:38 PM
Both Fairlay (click for link) and BetBTC (click for link) are sportsbooks and also betting exchanges, though I've personally never used either of them and they don't seem to have a lot of volume from what I can see right now. I don't currently see any active scam accusations against either site so they should be safe to use (BetBTC's thread dates back to Nov 2014 and Fairlay's to July 2014), though please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

I know Simplex (https://www.simplex.com) processes debit and credit card purchases for sites like Coinmama and Changelly, though I have no idea how you might go about adding their widget(s) onto your site. Simplex offers a pretty simple looking tool for buying BTC on Coinmama and Changelly, should work for your site if that’s offered on the Simplex site.
1343  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is bitcoin still in a strong downtrend ? on: February 14, 2019, 01:18:24 PM
Yup, I wouldn’t consider this the end of the downtrend we’re in yet, though I do strongly think that we are out of the worst of the bear market. It’s been pretty disappointing from both the bears and bulls recently as attempts to move up and down have mostly been stopped, though I could see support perhaps giving way if LTC continues to drop or bleed as the market seems to currently be following LTC prices right now. Bulls or bears could take prices in either direction with a good volume move right now.

Stellar’s partnership with Blockchain still seems to be going on, though there is a bit of a waitlist right now and there’s no guarantee you’re going to be able to submit the documents necessary for the free XLM. Here is the link to the airdrop if you choose to go through the hassle of KYC. https://www.blockchain.com/getcrypto

The only legit way to go about mining is really to own physical hardware and have it run at your house or a colocation/datacenter. Cloud mining generally isn’t profitable even when it isn’t a scam, especially in the bear market we’re currently in. Most residential places don’t have electrical rates conducive for mining, but you can always use a quieter miner as a space heater too. Just keep in mind bigger and more power hungry ASICs like most Antminers are very loud.
1345  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Profitability Thoughts for Mining? on: February 14, 2019, 12:53:57 AM
Venezuela is the perfect example that it doesn't matter if you're interested in politics or not, politics is interested in you, or more specifically, your money.

Are you even allowed to legally mine in Venezuela? From what I've heard the power is subsidised by the government and you are not permitted to mine at all.

I remember back when Bitcoin and Eth were at all time highs, the Venezuela army basically arrested anyone that was caught running any type of farm whether it was an ASIC farm or a GPU farm.

Aside from 1 or 2 GPUs, you werent permitted to mine at all.

I haven't seen many articles about Venezuelan mining from about June of 2018 onwards, but last I saw the customs in Venezuela were confiscating miners that they found and stopping mining operations that they found like you said. Rules on mining there might have been changed a bit and might not be so strict anymore which might be why there hasn't been much news about mining there recently, but either way it's really not worth mining in a place where electricity isn't stable and things aren't stable in general.
1346  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Dangerous Links on This Forum? on: February 13, 2019, 11:03:13 PM
If you're really worried about dangerous links on this forum, using something like Sandboxie (link here) to sandbox off your browser from the rest of your PC and using the forums from there would likely work, though Sandboxie does take a bit of resources from your PC. I typically only use Sandboxie for dubious downloads so my PC isn't exposed to viruses or malware, though in my experience very few links on this forum are truly dangerous as the moderators here are very good at removing posts with questionable links embedded.

I've been using the 'net for years like most people here, and the simple action of clicking a link has never directly lead to my computer being infected with a virus or any of my information being stolen. Shouldn't be a big problem in the first place.
1347  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: The sites that pay bitcoin for reviewing products? on: February 13, 2019, 10:58:40 PM
I've done a lot of searching on Google and there's no such service as the one you described. You could always try using a VPN and PayPal if you're trying to circumvent PayPal not letting you use their service wherever you now live, or try to see if there are other places that let you get paid through alternative means like gift cards and such. You can always buy BTC with fiat that you get in exchange for your reviews though, and the currency exchange section (link here) lets you do that on this forum.
1348  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Buy BTC with Credit Card - NO VERIFICATION? on: February 13, 2019, 01:08:50 PM
Binance processes credit card payments through Simplex, so you will still need to go through verification on Binance to buy BTC with a credit or debit card. More information on this is available at the following link which was also the announcement blog post from Binance regarding CC purchases. https://www.binance.com/en/blog/297658163885826048

There’s no place where you can buy BTC through a CC without verification AFAIK. There’d simply be too much fraud going on with the use of stolen credit cards and such a service would quickly run out of funds. Some vendors on places like Localbitcoins and Paxful allow you to buy BTC through PayPal without an ID, but you’ll be paying a pretty steep premium over market prices there.
1349  Economy / Speculation / Re: I expect the market to be in green throughout this month. on: February 13, 2019, 02:58:33 AM
There still seems to be quite a bit of uncertainty and money on the sidelines to me right now with this bull flag we’re in looking pretty shaky. I’m personally not fully convinced we’re out of the bear market yet or past a bottom as this little pump up we had could break right back down again at any time, but we really won’t know for sure until we’re already past it. We’re certainly holding up pretty well as of now, though, and support’s managed to mostly nullify any attempts down from this flag so far.
1350  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Received 0.00000546 BTC in your Wallet | Bitcoin Attack on: February 13, 2019, 02:50:01 AM
I happened to receive a bit of BTC from Vivigle about two weeks ago and I don't believe most dust transactions are part of any sort of nefarious attack but rather perhaps part of blockchain analysis. These transactions are at the least going to make your fees a little bit higher and just a small nuisance. If you're worried about being tracked and/or serious about anonymity, having multiple addresses and a mixer is a must and should keep you anonymous if done right. Either way, coins aren't going to directly be emptied out of your wallet with this sort of "attack", doesn't seem too bad to me.
1351  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: First hand examples of Emotional trading on: February 13, 2019, 02:01:36 AM
The ATH with BTC near $20k was a pretty good example of greed for me personally; I didn't cash out all of my stack near there but I did cash out a good portion of it. My buy-in price was many times lower than the ATH and I'm still not in the red, but if you're trading, it's extremely important but also difficult to figure out when and where to take profits and when to accumulate coins. I still have problems with this, though I've traded quite a bit since then and I have better control over my trades now.
1352  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you get your daily overview of the market?? on: February 12, 2019, 11:53:49 PM
I typically go on Bitcoinwisdom (click for link) for a quick glance at how BTC and LTC are doing, and Coinmarketcap (click for link) for a glance at other alts like ETH. I've used Bitcoinwisdom for about as long as I can remember being in BTC, and the site's simple yet still functional enough with the indicators and tools offered on the site.

Tradingview (click for link) also offers charts and a basic overview for many crypto markets. I've just started using the site for its customizeability with the indices and scripts offered on the site, and it's definitely one of the top crypto charting sites out there IMO.
1353  Economy / Gambling / Re: Play Games and Earn Free Cryptocurrency Coins on: February 12, 2019, 11:48:33 PM
Review also seems a bit poorly made as there's no sort of hyperlink to the actual site (which is Cryptomininggame.com- click here for a hyperlink). Seems pretty important to have to me as anyone that doesn't read the whole review won't see the URL of the site being reviewed.

As for the actual site itself, seems rather below-average to me. Obviously the site's filled with advertisements that can probably be removed with adblock if you have that on your browser, but with the ads the site's very crowded and somewhat difficult to navigate from the looks of things. I doubt the ads are going to be replaced as they most likely provide the revenue for the site to function, but this 'mining game' site doesn't seem very appealing to me.
1354  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is the coming halving our last hope? on: February 12, 2019, 11:41:02 PM
If anything, Litecoin will likely be a good test subject for whether or not a coin halving's really going to have any meaningful impact on the price of a bigger POW cryptocurrency like BTC- the halving for LTC's coming up in just under a 1/2 year (176 days according to litecoinblockhalf.com (click for link)), and we'll be able to observe the effects of that before the BTC halving actually happens.

In the end, I personally don't feel like the halving's going to be the last hope that's going to dig us out of this bear market (we may be past the bottom already, can't tell right now though), but I do feel like it'll have a minor impact on BTC pricing in the long-term. There's still plenty of time left 'till the BTC halving's on our doorsteps, and that's plenty of time for more bullish developments in the sphere of BTC and crypto as a whole.
1355  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If... on: February 12, 2019, 11:36:53 PM
Depends how deeply I become addicted to gambling. I do already gamble on a rather regular basis, and I find it pretty unlikely I'll ever dig myself into a hole financially through gambling, but if I ever do become addicted I'll just find a way to stop spending money on gambling by doing something like preoccupying myself with something else that will actually help me acquire more money or try to get professional help. I'm not addicted to anything right now besides possibly caffeine through coffee consumption, though, but I do know and have all the resources I need to get help at my fingertips.
1356  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Half of all Phishing Sites Now Have the Padlock Sign on: February 12, 2019, 01:34:23 AM
I recall there used to be numerous fake Blockchain wallet sites that were advertised via the Google ads and many people used to fall for such sites as the scam site came up first before the actual Blockchain site. Google's indeed banned crypto ads so such phishing sites should no longer be a problem, but it's always a good idea to check the certificate of any site you go on before inputting any actual user information so you're sure that you are using the right site. A few exchanges and other sites even tell you to do this before logging in.
1357  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: getting bitcoin on: February 12, 2019, 12:53:09 AM
Really ain't worth your time earning BTC as a newer member on here IMO- signature campaigns generally pay very little for newer members unfortunately, and faucets are generally a waste of time as other members have mentioned already. You can also try selling goods on here for BTC or offering services like coding or signature design in the Services section for BTC as well. Buying BTC's the best way you can acquire BTC; there's a Currency Exchange section (click here to visit) on this forum for that, or you can try using an exchange or a P2P exchange like Paxful or Localbitcoins if you don't want to go through verification.
1358  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are traders born or made? on: February 11, 2019, 01:35:06 PM
Traders are most definitely nearly all made. Some people are obviously better traders at first and talent can take you a long way, but if you persevere, practice and work hard enough you’ll be able to become a successful trader as well. There’s plenty of room to learn with trading nowadays, especially with all the info out there on the web today about trading.
1359  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: with market conditions like this, are there any tips for continuing day trading? on: February 11, 2019, 12:31:20 AM
I typically don't trade on the weekends as volume is usually pretty depressed during those times in my experience and some pretty wild price movements occasionally happen during the weekends, though not always. Crypto markets might be open essentially 24/7 excluding times for maintenance, but that doesn't mean you have to constantly be trading.

You can always take a break and come back to trading if you lose a significant sum of money as well. I do this quite often when emotions cloud my trading, and I usually come back with more control over my trading.
1360  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Anyone tried www.bitloader.cc ??? on: February 11, 2019, 12:21:49 AM
I can't find anything online about this site except for one review I found on this review site (click for link), and I generally don't trust such sites as some scammy sites will pay review sites to post a favorable review for 'em. Definitely wouldn't try this site out unless you're able to get one or more in-person reviews from someone that's not new to this site.

Also found this thread (click for link) on a small forum, but that's still not a lot of info on this site.
