I wouldn't say nobody's buying them atm. I've been looking at the Nvidia store recently, and the 1080Tis sold out there about a week ago and they were going for the price of $700 US! It is true that they haven't been restocked in a while, but there is still at least some demand for these cards.

Also, I hope you're taking pictures of each card you're selling on eBay, as well as the serials and all- I've been burned too many times selling electronics there and I've vowed never to come back to eBay again as a result. Even if you haven't been hit with a dispute yet I guarantee you will eventually, and picture proof and all helps out a LOT in the process.

Yep, you can set parameters such as maxwin (1% or less is normal) so you don't lose too much in the beginning, but at the end of the day you still need a significant bankroll as you never know when a whale's going to gamble on your site or not. There's a hell of a lot of factors going into this, and there's no one definitive answer to this.

Devans' post sums up a suggested beginning dice gambling site's bankroll well below. You can certainly start with less funds, but you'll also have to adjust your max win whilst doing so to minimize risk and losses, and this may discourage some people from playing.

In my experience, I haven't really noticed exchange deposit addresses changing, and I don't really ever see an option to change the deposit address on most exchanges. I recall there used to be some in the past, but I don't remember the names of those exchanges and most major ones don't offer the option. Most people don't need anything like this, so most exchanges likely won't add this anytime soon. Traditional coin mixing, etc is still your best bet in this situation.

I'd say getting someone to code for you is probably going to be your best bet as well. Gambling-related scripts tend to be somewhat expensive, and most people aren't willing to let them go for free. I did a quick Google search for you, and most of the results for free dice scripts were old and over three years old and likely not working anymore.

Bitify may also be worth taking a look at, though I highly suggest using escrow on that site whenever possible- I know from looking through the site every now and then that there's a good selection of scripts and templates for sale there.

BTCFrog being high up in the search results is probably just good use of search engine optimization (SEO) or just plain luck without them doing anything. I suspect it's likely just the former and they're doing it to lure more people in to their scam, but the best advice I can give you is to use a site that you know provides consistent, legit QR codes in the future, and ALWAYS double- or triple-check addresses and amounts when sending or generating anything in regards to a transaction. It's essentially second nature for me to double-check my transactions, and I haven't fatfingered anything in quite some time.

Unfortunately not all of us live close to Asia, and there are better options for those of us living in Europe or North America like this forum. I didn't even suggest using eBay because that place is just fraud city now, unless you're a buyer. There's no reason to use eBay anymore when there's better sites to sell on that don't back the buyer even if he's sending back rocks, etc.

I will say that AliExpress is okay for electronics in general though, as long as you're prepared to wait a bit for your products. They've always come through for me as a buyer so far, but I have no idea how it is as a seller. Taobao and Alibaba have also worked for me through the use of reshipping services in the past as well.

People just want to save money any way they can, and that's normal, especially when mining profits are tight like they are right now and every penny counts, but too many people forget one simple rule: "If it's too good to be true, it most likely is".

Besides that, there have been times when ASICs have sold out and the only place you can get them is from a third party, or third parties can ship out quicker than buying direct (e.g Eastshore.xyz, etc). It's those who don't research sites and don't know how to identify scams well that fall for this, though this comes with experience.

That's not enough proof from an account that has two posts and was likely created in an attempt to stop the site from being called a scam. A better document for proof would be a picture of a miner delivered from the site next to a piece of paper with a timestamp and your forum name, though even that's not enough proof that the site is legit tbh. I'm pretty sure everyone here's going to agree that this site's a blatant scam.


And what'd you know- another fresh account using the same formatting and wording as the one I quoted! Surely this isn't the same person! 

Even besides the fact that there's threads everywhere about the site being possibly rigged, there's more reports on their main thread that withdrawals are slow/being held, there's registration problems, and several accounts representing blatantly shilling the casino are tagged with red trust. It takes a few seconds of Googling and clicking to make a decision on whether or not the site's rigged.

Even if the site was not rigged, you shouldn't play on a site that you don't like and feel like is rigged. There's plenty of other options out there for gaming, and you're entitled to freedom of choice.

I do a little bit of both since I'm constantly on the move, though I try to bring a laptop with me everywhere I go. I often only have access to a mobile device, and it's definitely not the best as my phone tends to lag even when loading just a few tabs in a web browser, and it's easy to fatfinger numbers in (which has cost me money in the past), even though mobile applications as a whole have become much more user-friendly and navigable recently. Everyone's going to agree that trading on a desktop or laptop's the best way to trade, but in my situation I sometimes have to compromise and only use a phone with a slow connection.

I wholeheartedly agree with what's been said about dominance being a useless statistic, especially when practically anyone can make a shitcoin and there's now thousands of alts out there that each make Bitcoin' market dominance decrease a little bit. The fact still is that Bitcoin is and will continue to be the most dominant cryptocurrency- as an example, most crypto payment processors only accept Bitcoin and perhaps one or two alts like Litecoin.

The only problem is that the search function on this forum is old and honestly horrible- I don't think anyone seriously uses the search tool on this forum. Google is a much better tool for finding posts on this forum, and appending 'bitcointalk' onto the end of a string of words should help you come to whatever you're looking for on this forum, whether it's finding a scam site or a discussion about mining hardware.

I have found sites like Reddit are also decent for finding Bitcoin and gambling-related information, but it's always best to find multiple sources to verify what you're reading is true. Sites you find on Google usually aren't too bad either, as long as you filter through sites obviously shilling a service and such.

I put my mining rewards straight into my Ledger Nanos, and I've never had any issues whatsoever with signing and broadcasting transactions. Chances are you're never going to recieve 1,000 transactions like the Ledger article uses as an example for mining rewards, and you should ideally consolidate inputs every now and then anyways, to reduce fees and the number of inputs. You truly do save a lot by consolidating inputs over the long run, and it doesn't take much time out of your day. Besides that, most pools nowadays have options to manually withdraw funds instead of automatically sending funds to a wallet after 100 confirmations have passed (Kano still does this), so 99% of the time this isn't an issue.

As long as you do maintenance every now and then on your hardware wallet(s), it's fine to recieve funds direct to them, and it's actually a good use of a hardware wallet. A mining wallet's right in-between a hot wallet and a cold one (e.g paper wallets), and that's the ideal use of a hardware wallet.

I normally try to pick an exchange that doesn't require verification (which can be a bit tough), has good support and transaction speeds, and is user-friendly and navigable. For this reason I've begun to gravitate towards Decentralized EXchanges (DEXes), which are decentralized and don't require verification, as the name suggests. One DEX I like to use is ForkDelta, and I also do use Binance even though some people have reported needing to verify due to 'suspicious activity' or something of the sort.

I would also agree with the route of mining one stable coin, like ETH as you mentioned in the OP, and just HODLing it or regularly selling as you please. There are stories of people that have broken even and profited in just days from mining a low-difficulty and low marketcap coin that later rose in price, but that's an extremely risky proposition on top of the already-present risk in mining.

Most people will agree that traditional mining using calculators and switching every once in a while's the best option, but don't make the mistake of switching too much, either- profitability can rapidly swing, and coin prices do as well. Fees from exchanging between coins can also build up if you switch between many coins.

I believe decentralized exchanges (DEXes) are going to be a significant competitor to traditional crypto exchanges in the future primarily because of the need for verification on most trading platforms. I'm sure most traders here have had to verify yourselves at one point or another and you know how long and tedious of a process this is compared to the old days, when exchanges didn't require KYC and all.

That alone is a huge pro of DEXes, but at this point in time I have noticed most DEXes are slightly too complicated for someone starting out in crypto to use- the use of a DEX requires much more technical knowledge than with a traditional exchange, and I feel that's one minor thing holding DEXes back. There's so much untapped potential in DEXes that can be unlocked with just a little bit of tweaking.

Here's the first article I found on it (CBS News). Details seem to be that it was purchased at a liquor store in San Jose, California. I imagine those who have bet the maximum of $500 on some sites are pretty happy right now, as the odds we're pretty damn skewed for this. I'm personally pretty glad I didn't go in high on no jackpot like I planned to.

If you're looking for software to mine ETH without the assistance of often fee-laden auto switching software like MinerGate (or even Nicehash), Claymore and PhoenixMiner are two good places to start. There's even more options out there if you just go a few pages back in this subforum as we are in Altcoin Mining after all.

Most mining software does have a devfee nowadays, but you'll definitely save on fees compared to profit-switching mining software. Plus, you actually learn how to mine compared to clicking buttons that load preset configurations! As they say, knowledge is power.

That is true, but I assume most people here primarily gamble at online Bitcoin casinos where winrates and odds are better than what's offered in real-life casinos and even here. Not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison here.

Low win rates absolutely do affect where people gamble, however. I would gladly spend money on a game that is enjoyable but has low win rates, but in this case this game is nothing special and offers no new features I'd be willing to pay for at the cost of a lower chance of winning compared to another blockchain-based game.
