1361  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are the disadvantage you experience with crypto related gamble projects. on: February 09, 2019, 04:33:00 PM
There's really very few disadvantages for crypto gambling for me personally. I guess volatility can be a problem for some, but my main goal's just to increase my stack of BTC so it's really not a big problem for me in the long run.

Some sites are also indeed fishy and do things that are questionable to say the least, but that's to be expected when most crypto casinos advertise anonymity and are rather anonymous themselves.

I really don't care about mobile access with most casino sites. My phone's pretty crappy and lags even when opening Chrome, but for those with better phones mobile access can be important. I also feel some sites should offer optimized mobile sites in addition to just having a mobile site, as I've noticed some sites on mobile devices lag more than others for whatever reason.

I typically change my password every few months to ensure that the chances of my account being compromised are low. Signing and staking your address is indeed important, but you should also take additional security precautions on top of that to ensure you don't have to start the account recovery process in the first place. Some people also only use their BCT accounts on one or two trusted computers and have other accounts for use on insecure computers.

Also make sure you use a decently long (12+ characters) password that you don't use for anywhere else on the net.

I currently reside in the USA and there's no such service AFAIK. Did some Googling and still nothing came up.

Your best option IMO is to convert BTC to fiat USD and pay your electrical bills that way. Does take some time, but it's how I've been doing it for quite some time now. Exchanges aren't too bad with verification now that demand's lowered for exchange registration, but P2P trading for BTC to fiat also works on sites like Paxful or Localbitcoins.
1364  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Where to go for 10,000% plus profits in 2019? on: February 07, 2019, 10:47:04 PM
There's really no simple way to make 100x profits in 2019 especially since we're in this bear market, and nobody's going to give you any profitable strategies for free. Something simple you can do that's also tricky to time and just risky overall is buying cheap coins and holding them 'till you're satisfied with your profits if that coin ever pumps. I've personally stopped buying alts overall and I've also started dabbling in shorting coins. It's certainly not a bad time to buy coins either, but things seem pretty shaky with diminishing volume and other alts as time goes on.
1365  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: what is the best device for mining on: February 07, 2019, 09:04:26 PM
Asicminervalue (click for link) should help out if you're looking at what devices to purchase. You can set your electrical cost at the bottom of the site and the site will automatically calculate the current profitability of various miners that are out and set to come out soon. I don't personally use the "Opportunities" tab of the site that shows you places where you can buy ASICs as some of the site's 'trusted vendors' seem pretty shady to me.

Also note that all mining calculators only provide current profitability rates and things like forks can change profitability in days. Always do research before buying a machine so you don't buy a device that becomes significantly less profitable rapidly. This is only generally a problem with altcoin miners though.
1366  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are gambling altcoins undervalued? on: February 07, 2019, 08:59:12 PM
Most people already keep coins like LTC, ETH and BTC in cold or mid-term storage, and in many cases people want to keep as few wallets as possible for storage; I personally just use Litecoin and BTC for deposits into casinos as they're the two biggest components of my cold storage and I feel both coins offer good enough confirmation times. I really don't find any gambling alts out right now to be significantly undervalued, though this bear market we're in has obviously brought the prices of some legitimate projects down.

There's obviously luck involved in any sort of betting, but if you have good risk management you can mitigate losses and potentially make a profit. I've played CS:GO since around 2014 and I'm currently in the green overall betting on lower-tier competitions like ESEA Premier and Advanced NA playoffs matches as well as tier 3 matches and up. There's obviously no guarantee that you'll ever make a profit betting, but there are also methods like arbitraging that can make you a decent amount of money if executed properly.
1368  Economy / Goods / Re: I wanna buy silver with BTC on: February 06, 2019, 10:15:04 PM
APMEX (click for link here) also allows you to buy silver and other precious metals with Bitcoin and BCH, with rates being just slightly over how much the site charges for bank wire purchases. I've used JMBullion (click for link here) in the past as well with no issues for various gold and silver purchases over the past tow years too, though I did use my credit card and PayPal account during those times. I've only used these two sites for purchasing gold in the United States, though, and I've got no idea whether or not they ship to other countries, however.
1369  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is Bitcoin Mixer? on: February 06, 2019, 10:09:40 PM
I can vouch for Bitblender being legit. I've used Bitblender several times since around 2016 when I first discovered them through the signature campaign they had in the services section, and they do the job of mixing well without having exorbitant fees.

Make sure you're going to Bitblender's onion site (link: http://bitblendervrfkzr.onion/) and not any clearnet version of their site for mixing. It's true Bitblender has a clearnet site, but that's just for information and there were scam clones of Bitblender on the clearnet a few months back IIRC.

What happens if nobody gets the exact number rolled? Are you going to continue to roll in that case until a number's hit, or are you just going to pick the closest number to the rolled one?

A demo would also definitely be nice to see; is this game provably fair as well? Most people won't play games that aren't provably fair online, would certainly be nice if something of the sort is implemented in the game you're giving away.
1371  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Now I know why eSports prize pools go over millions of dollars! on: February 06, 2019, 09:40:24 PM
This particular article didn't mention much about CS:GO, but for items like stickers sold during the majors, 50% of the proceeds raised during sales for the items go towards the included players and organizations. The prize pools for all esports tournaments have been going up over the past few years, and it's pretty pronounced in a game like CS:GO- sometime around 2015-2016, Valve raised the prize pools of CS:GO Major tournaments from $250,000 to $1 Million. Popularity's absolutely a big factor for why the prize pools for esports like CS:GO are higher than others too.
1372  Economy / Gambling / Re: Recommand some trusted bet site without kyc but secured on: February 06, 2019, 09:31:21 PM
Yup, I can confirm I've never had to go through any sort of KYC on NitrogenSports as well. Crypto-Games also does not require KYC AFAIK.

I've never had to go through KYC after winning and withdrawing on FortuneJack, though I've seen one or two reports that some people apparently needed to go through KYC for large wins on the site over 1.5 BTC or so. Shouldn't be a big issue for most people, but if you have a problem with this, the two other casinos I linked are just fine too.
1373  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is 0x a newbie coin? on: February 06, 2019, 12:40:55 AM
This 0x coin is a token according to coingecko never heard this kind of token before and it looks like an abandoned project but right now it looks like they are now promoting it again through Reddit and Facebook according to their social media accounts.

Take a look at these 2 social accounts from them.
- https://www.reddit.com/r/0xProject
- https://www.facebook.com/0xProject/

Their website forum is expired and it seems that they made their forum from discourse with free trial?

Here is their forum link https://forum.0xproject.com/
0x isn't really 're-promoting' their project; the Subreddit you linked has been active for nearly two years with pretty constant activity throughout those two years, and the Facebook account you linked has also been pretty consistently active for some time.

The official site for this project seems to be at https://0x.org/, and it doesn't seem very abandoned to me yet. Just seems like there's been a drop in interest due to the bear market causing price drops in the token, but otherwise it still seems decently maintained.
1374  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Doesn't blockchain technology makes gambling easier? on: February 05, 2019, 10:56:09 PM
Speed's a pretty significant feature crypto-based gambling brings to the table as well. As long as you have a good transaction fee (refer to bitcoinfees.earn.com if you're not sure about an appropriate fee for BTC), your transactions will go through within the hour normally, and most casinos process deposits as soon as they hit one or three confirmations. Most crypto casinos also don't require any form of KYC, making crypto casinos very convenient to use if you don't want to go through the process of uploading a picture of yourself and your ID, etc.
1375  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Dedicated staking device on: February 05, 2019, 09:38:05 PM
You should also be able to use the ol' Intel Compute Sticks for staking and other Atom-based PCs as well; I got a nice mini Windows PC with a Z3735F processor for around $35 from China about a year and a half ago and it works fine for staking. I can also find new Compute Sticks selling for $35 and up (cheaper ones run Ubuntu) on eBay right now if you're looking for a small device for staking. They work pretty well for other purposes if you choose to stop staking with 'em too.
1376  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is 0x a newbie coin? on: February 05, 2019, 09:31:22 PM
I've got a boatload of these things sitting over at Binance.  Can't make a dime off these, barely.

How can I convert these 0x's to something better?  something fresh with some real action buttons...
Selling them on Binance is probably the best way to get something fresh out of 'em. The ZRX/BTC pair on Binance seems to be the highest volume ZRX pair out there right now, and prices seem to be pretty even across the board on most exchanges for 0x right now, though you might be able to get a marginally better exchange rate by using other exchanges (though that's likely not worth the hassle).
1377  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can you still buy coins via sending Cash by postal mail? Anyone selling? on: February 05, 2019, 09:07:04 PM
You sure can buy BTC through mailing money; there's plenty of them on Paxful (click for link). I haven't used this particular method of payment in a while on Paxful, but as long as you follow the seller's instructions you should be good. I would suggest transacting with higher reputation users for cash by mail though, as this is definitely a higher risk method of payment.
1378  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mine Farm Buy legit or fraud? on: February 05, 2019, 08:59:59 PM
I haven't used their site for any major purchases yet, but it does seem to me MineFarmBuy's legit; I remember when the site first started out on these forums and they've come a long way from then in almost every single aspect of their site. The forum account representing the site's pretty active in the Bitcoin mining part of these forums, and I don't recall ever seeing any sort of scam report against the site.  

The site also offers PayPal and credit card payment options which are both reversible methods of payment in case things go wrong.
1379  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: The best mining hardware profit calculator. on: February 05, 2019, 08:55:58 PM
Interesting site- I currently use Asicminervalue.com to roughly see miner profitability at any given time, I'm not a big fan of the layout of this site (I feel like Asicminervalue's UI is much more intuitive and easy-to-read), but I'll definitely use it in conjunction with Asicminervalue. Would definitely be nice if you could add in past profitability though; I particularly like to use Asicminervalue because of the past profitability data they provide.
1380  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: investment of bitcoin on: February 05, 2019, 01:25:07 AM
I tend to use P2P services like LocalBitcoins or Paxful for lower-quantity trades, but exchanges are fine if you're trying to get the best rates. I've had very few issues trading on both LBC and Paxful; as long as you stay away from suspicious sellers and sellers with low reputation or a large gap in activity, you should be fine. Exchange verification's not too bad now IIRC as demand's dropped off for exchanges and you can get verified very quickly now on most exchanges.

If you don't want to spend money on a hardware wallet yet, a password-encrypted Electrum wallet is just fine for non-permanent, medium-term storage. I would suggest getting a hardware wallet sometime in the future if you do choose to invest more into BTC for more security though.
