1. How often do you gamble?
I usually gamble through the week, once or twice, up to six or so times per month.

2. How much do you usually gamble?
I typically gamble anywhere from $10-$60 per week, though most of the time towards the lower end of the spectrum.

3. What type of gambling do you usually do?
I typically play games like dice or slots, though I especially prefer betting on esports and other sports that are available.

4. What do you think is lacking in the gambling btc market right now?
KYC's a biggie, especially for esports gambling, where many sites hide their KYC requirements in my experience and ask for KYC upon withdrawal to deter people from withdrawing their winnings. I also see a lack of higher-volume BTC or crypto based esports bookies out there. I usually use NitrogenSports, but they don't have many games most of the time.

I honestly doubt they're going to go back to their old business model with Hashnest anytime soon considering Bitcoin's still likely in a bear market, and it's much more profitable for Bitmain to offer Bitdeer-style upfront payment contracts. Sucks that people are still buying into these risky contracts, but unless demand shifts for the contracts I don't see Bitmain bringing back their old contracts anytime soon. I could definitely be wrong, though.

MiningPoolHub (click to go to site) has a stratum server for Dash that you can try. If their ANN thread is still updated and relevant, their fees are set to 0.9% and the pool uses PPLNS to determine fees. I've used their pool for Litecoin in the past and had no problems with it back then.

If you can't handle the resposibilities of gambling or other aspects of gambling, just don't gamble at all so you don't run the risk of potentially becoming addicted to gambling and look for something else that is entertaining for you, or look for opportunities to make money if your intention was to make money in case you weren't informed of house edge and how you're guaranteed to lose in the long term. Gambling's definitely not for everyone, but there are plenty of other things that you can do for entertainment out there.

eBay's going to likely be the best option for you to get rid of your rigs, as Amazon generally isn't as good for selling used components. Putting up a post in the Computer Hardware section of this forum could also work, though you're obviously going to get more product exposure on a site like eBay. Make sure you accept the use of escrow here so both you and the buyer are secure, and you should be good. I used to have issues very commonly selling on eBay, but most people here are friendly and extremely easy to work with and there are plenty of people looking to buy parts at the right price in bulk. Good luck with your sales!

Don't trust this member- he/she has negative rep for promoting a fake ico, and has likely been compensated for this post or is owned by the owner of the site in question here. The Antminer site in question in the OP is still most likely not legitimate, and you're best off buying from a reputable member here or off a third-party site like eBay or one that has existing reputation.

While PayPal is a reversible method of payment, your time will still be wasted if you end up getting scammed but still get your money back.

I definitely have lost a bit of confidence in buying during the last few months where the price of BTC has continued to slip downwards, but I'm not going to completely stop buying in either. I'm still holding on to as many coins as I can afford to hold (most of my stash), but I still believe this is a prime time to buy in if you haven't started buying yet, especially if you're thinking about going into long-term storage and holding your coins for an extended period of time. The crypto fundamentals still haven't changed since we reached an ATH, however, and things are only going to improve from here.

There's never, ever going to be a safe bet or gamble (as risk is implied in all gambling), and there are also times when the R/R (Risk/Reward) just doesn't make sense, like with this bet where the odds were leaning so heavily towards one horse. This is also why it's a good idea to have a plan to manage your bets by making each bet at or below a certain percentage of your bankroll to manage the risk-to-reward of a bet and to ensure you don't lose your entire balance on a few bets. Traders do something similar in their trades to minimize risk, especially with leveraged crypto trading, and this also works for betting to some extent.

eBay's a decent place to sell if you've got some existing reputation on the site and you set the correct restrictions on your listing. I suggest setting restrictions on where you can ship your rigs or cards (e.g only the Lower 48 US States, etc.), as some people do try to buy items from far-away countries and that's a hassle for the seller. Generally speaking, eBay isn't a bad place to sell, but there are occasionally scammers on the site that intend to get products for free, but obvious scams are pretty easily spotted on the site.

Design-based jobs seem like they're still in good demand on this forum (developing avatars and signatures for signature campaigns, etc), but besides that, many tasks are indeed saturated on this forum, including writing (which was once relatively lucrative). Unless you're really able to set yourself from the competition on this forum or you're able to consistently get compensated for your work, you're likely better off doing other tasks online or doing jobs in real life and exchanging your money for BTC through a P2P service or exchange. There's fees involved in exchanging fiat currency to crypto, especially if you're going through P2P transfers, but you're going to get more money for your time that way.

I've always loved to use NitrogenSports for eSports betting as well as their casino for the site's relative simplicity, and they're actually one of my favorite gambling sites as a result. Their site was actually one of the reasons why I got into cryptocurrency in the first place- I was looking for places to gamble with cryptocurrency in mid-2014, and their site made me look into BTC and cryptocurrency as a whole more, and I'm here on this forum as a result of that. The trust for the NitrogenSports account is currently red, and you can find the negative trust by clicking here, but I still believe NitrogenSports is a decent site for betting.

Depends what the market sentiment is in the future. We could very well be bouncing back to $5000 or above in the short term if an IHS pattern is confirmed with sufficient volume above ~$4200 and we may not reach the mid $3000s for some time again, or the pattern could be invalidated and prices could drop into the low $3000s again. Nobody knows in the end- people thought BTC would hold $6000 as a major support point, but we all know how that turned out.

Eh, there's not a lot of information on this site and I typically use Trustpilot for reviewing smaller sites. Larger companies I generally don't use Trustpilot for, and you can never be too careful when you're picking something like a reship where money and time can potentially be wasted if the service isn't reliable or outright steals your package (in some rare instances).

I also just noticed Reship.com has started to offer UK addresses for their reshipping services, and I've never had any problems with 'em. Just be ready to do verification if necessary, as they do occasionally ask for an ID, but that's about it. Here's the link to Reship.com's shipping cost estimator if you're interested in pricing for their services.

Bitmex is pretty decent if you're not trying to go through boatloads of verification but you still want to trade on margin and short, etc, but the problem with the site for people like me is that they've stopped accepting customers from the United States. Otherwise still a great exchange if you're looking for a something decent that doesn't require verification and still has volume, and the site also provides you with a pretty comprehensive FAQ if you have any questions about trading on their platform, especially with leveraged trading.

forward2me seems to accept Bitcoin for their reshipping services based in the UK, but I have no idea about how good the service is. I've seen some reasonable reviews for the site on Reddit, but the Trustpilot page for the site makes me think the site isn't as good as some people say based on the things people are talking about. Mostly just complaints about high fees though.

It's pretty hard to predict patterns in crypto trading, and as a general rule, I usually only trade confirmed/complete patterns as trading without them is essentially just gambling. You're never going to be quickest to predict a bear or bull run, but what you can do is ride patterns that are already happening and make your profits there. It's worked for me so far in in these volatile markets, and it's generally not difficult to find such patterns.

Just take it as something you can learn from and move on. I'm sure all of us here have missed out on making a massive profit one way or another in cryptocurrency (I for one have), but we're still here and we're all still making money through crypto, even in this bear market. I'd suggest taking a break from gambling if possible, but there's not much else you can do besides moving on from this. PrimeDice's working and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong here- you just happened to lose.

I remember that machine- I considered getting one a while back, and there's even still listings for them on eBay if anyone here is looking to acquire one of the machines today for a collection or something like that. Still hard to believe we had pretty quiet BTC miners as far back as the S5 and the S3/C1 machines back when Bitmain wasn't squeezing so many watts into such a small case. I still miss the design of the S3 and S5 cases too, though the newer metal ones also have their strong points.

If you're trying to make some money through casinos, there are casinos out there that do allow you to invest in their bankrolls, and you can make some pretty good money there in the medium to long term, though there is risk involved in holding your coins on a site. There's also no guarantee the site will make a profit as a whale can easily wipe you out, though in the long-term the house edge ensures the site is making a profit. I recall there were threads in this subforum regarding casino investments a week or two back.

Additionally, hardware wallets like the Ledger series or Trezor aren't good for mining payments (or lots of small payments from other places) because it takes the hardware wallet longer to verify and create a transaction when there are many inputs, and this can result in very long times to create a transaction over time. You can simply combine inputs when fees are low every now and then, but Electrum comes in handy for things like this when the correct precautions are made. Hardware wallets do also have their weaknesses, and Electrum can fill at least some of them.
