Well as of today seems like litecoin is more alive than ever, second on coinmarketcap with a significant lead on ripple, the price got to 8$ and its still growing, i mean the ratio BTC/LTC is higher than it was in 2014. Im not really sure if this will last long since it's sustained by nothing but speculative parties but we will see.

It is a massive Pump and Dump, nothing else. The Litecoin thing has exactly same real value as before, that value is precisely zero. The thing used by no real world applications whatsoever except by day traders in China, and I can assure you (even if you make millions in short term on day trading) that is a not a sustainable business model.
 


The only real world Crypto application besides Bitcoin is GetGems. All other alts have failed to deliver an app that is simple to understand, has a use case and enough incentive to people to use.

And this one GadgetNet https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=854280.0 , an IoT coin/blockchain with real world use cases like adult and gaming P2P live video streaming. That's what crypto needs, real world use cases.

And of course Bitcoin is used already by real world apps and GetGems is cool too.



Well a lot of altcoins have potential to become useful in the real world but even bitcoins right now are not really that useful, yes you can buy a lot of things but it still needs a lot of work and its price is definitely not determined by that, most of the times.

I am not talking about theoretically what alt can be useful. Theoretically all alts could be useful, theoretically they can be even currency exchange unit in monkey shit trading. Anything. However, currently not even NXT (which has a massive community) is used in real world application. All of them, including Litecoin is just pure day trade speculation commodity.

The very few IoT and technology coins like GadgetCoin is purposefully and by design attached to a real world use case. Instead of trying to find use case to the application, they build the application for a use case.

Bitcoin doesn't have to do that as Bitcoin for the quite right reason is relatively widely used (if the 100,000 active users most of them traders qualifies as wide usage, but comparing to other alts it definitely is).


Well that is exactly my point, that right now the prices go up or down pretty much only because of speculative parties and some other events that may or may not affect the coin directly. That's why is hard to trade in alt coins or even bitcoins because there is no way to know if the price will go up or down, not even long term.

1265  Economy / Gambling / Re: try your chess skills for bitcoin on: July 10, 2015, 06:54:16 AM
Oh come on. An avid chess player could beat even the most powerful bot. I'm pretty sure that chess is one of the hardest board games to "exploit" with automation. [...]

Tell that to Kasparov - where have you been these last 20 years? Tongue

Chess is a perfect information game (that is, a game where both players have full knowledge of the complete state of the game), with relatively few movement options - perfect for computers to play, and win, against humans. Furthermore, their capabilities only improve with each passing year, alongside processing power and changes in programming techniques.


Assuming they make their own engine, and most of the gambling is rather small, I doubt anyone will spend the effort to develop a bot for this.
Anyways, I see this as completely fair. I can imagine that every single person competing would just end up downloading a chess AI and manually copying in the moves.
It's going to be about who can google "free chess software" better.


There are ''counter chess engines'' out there in many famous chess websites that can detect you using a powerful engine by looking at your moves and you will get caught, believe me, of course its not infallible but it's better than nothing.

I mean, is he in possession of any kind of proof or evidence against you? In his report he clearly specifies that you are running a ponzi and you can run away at any time, if he does not have any proofs of that then he is abusing the system and therefore should be kicked out of the default trust system like many other people. One thing that really bugs me is why some people on default trust, they are there for a reason i suppose, have so little sent feedback, you would expect them to use the trust system way more. Are they just wasting their position?

As i said their behavior it's pretty bad and it does not help them in any way, yes there might not be a definitive proof of them being scammers but i seriously don't see how acting like that makes your site look any better, you had the chance of clearing your name by showing proof of funds and you didnt want to although you said yourself that one of your priorities is to be trusted and honest.

I am just saying that, although you and your site might be legit, your behavior it's making you look unprofessional and gives your site a bad image, i understand OP might have insulted you and your site but look at your replies to him and others, it's not the way to go.

1269  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: DADICE : exposing investors to more risk than their kelly, misleading informatio on: July 09, 2015, 06:16:35 PM
Well after reading entire thread, its very clear to me that leen is only trying to recover her losses but this is gambling Smiley when you go as much as 10x kelly, that is a huge risk to take for some profit. You shouldn't have invested in first place if you cannot afford to lose.

leen signed up for 10x Kelly but was unknowingly given 29x Kelly. That's unacceptable.

And regarding QS, bodgy, etc... why these guys are everywhere where they get chance to abuse Da Dice. Especially this bodgy person seriously intrigues me.

It looks to me like they are everywhere that scams are happening. I see QS tackling all kinds of scammers, not only DaDice. And if you read bodgy's words you will see that he makes a lot of sense.

Most recently he's pointing out that DaDice openly admitted that they are offering bets that they can't afford to pay out, and that if anyone is "lucky" enough to win a lot they will maybe have to declare bankruptcy. Why don't they mention that in the signature spam they pay people to display? "DaDice : we probably can't afford to pay you if you win!"

Nice you mention QS, he is a well known scammer, nice you associate yourself with such people.
LOL what? Do you know how many times people have claimed I am a scammer? A lot. Do you know what all these accusations have in common? They were all made by scammers. Do you know the basis for all these claims were? None.

Well honestly asides from any proofs of them being scammers or not this behavior it's pretty fishy, calling everyone who called them scammers and generally pretty rude to everyone definitely does not make them look better in any way
1270  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is this the best way to make a paper wallet? on: July 09, 2015, 12:32:15 PM
I'll explain my process of creating a secure paper wallet.

- Run a full anti virus scan on your computer
- Head over to bitaddress.org
- Disconnect from the internet, right click anywhere on the page & save
  webpage to desktop (still offline).
- Clear cookies & cache, restart your computer
- Double click saved webpage on your desktop
- Create randomness by moving your mouse around
- Create paper wallet
- Print paper wallet (2 or 3 copies)
- Restart computer
- Computer back on, reconnect to internet & send BTC to your new public
  address

Simple!

thank you , that was pretty easy!

But it's really hard to keep a paper wallet safe for long , so it's better you get it laminated and paste a sticker on top

Wait what? What do you mean? I thought paper wallets were pretty safe and the only way for you to get ''hacked'' would be for the hacker to steal physically the paper or somehow look at it, right?

He meant that papers can easily be destroyed/damaged, so its better to do something to prevent it.

Of course but you can make copies and/or store them in safes or wherever you feel they will be safe and leaving only 1 option for someone who wants to steal your money, stealing it physically and i consider that way safer than having them in exchanges and wallets too
1271  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: DADICE : exposing investors to more risk than their kelly, misleading informatio on: July 09, 2015, 12:16:39 PM
this whole dadice thing is pretty weird, no matter from which perspective you're looking at it, it's a fail. but for some reason the operators refuse to let it die already.

they failed as a scam, since no real whale or big investor will choose their site.

and they also failed as a "legit" business, since their reputation is burned and they're not making any profit while wasting money on their marketing.

so, what is this thing?  Huh



Who knows. Maybe a hope if they keep going people will believe they aren't a scam and start throwing money at it. Who really knows what these guys are up to. They are seriously incompetent at Math, writing websites and running a business. So maybe its a high school project? Huh

sounds plausible to me. Cheesy

but seriously, they already spent over 60btc on their sig campaign alone (https://blockchain.info/de/address/13tcm29K3N39uSsiDRLN9aQwLdvA9zFWJv) while only making  43btc profit on site (stats.dadice.com). and that profit probably also includes a substantial amount of faucet btc they already owned before. there is no way this is turning into something profitable.

are they some kind of honeypot? like the us gov going after american gamblers?   Grin

ps: I sell tinfoil for xmr, pm me  Wink





That's certainly weird, if those stats are real and supposedly they are, i don't see why would they lie, means that they are indeed loosing money. They even started a new campaign not long ago, everything could be explained as a form of long time investment, when they don't need more advertisement they would stop their campaigns and start only profiting.

Now back to the topic, OP did in fact lie about somethings but he did not lie about the kelly investment option, seems..

1273  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does martingale really works? on: July 09, 2015, 11:07:26 AM
You guys need to let this thread die. Martingale is massively EV-, it's more profitable to just bet your entire balance on one bet, with odds that you want.

If you want the thread to die you shouldn't post such misleading statements. It has been proven many times that betting your entire balance on one bet is NOT the most efficient way to achieve any profit goal.

And also why did you say Martingale is massively -EV? Any strategy is -EV depending on the house edge, it could be more or less but every strategy will fail, its true that there are some ways to have a tiny better chance but nothing too significative
1274  Other / Meta / Re: Can the Philippines PLEASE get their own sub-section? on: July 09, 2015, 11:00:20 AM
[...] Gents: how come we're discussing the use of the Spanish language in a topic on a possible sub-section for the Philippines?   Undecided
Unless you have a bad understanding of english i think its pretty clear why we discussed about the spanish subforum, spanish language being the third most spoken language means that a lot of spanish speakers would be around the forum and if the subforum of spain its almost empty probably the philippines one would be as well, you understand now?

No, because:

1. This is a topic on a Philippines sub-section and therefore has NOTHING to do with Spanish; and,

2. There are a lot of sub-fora with less native speakers than Spanish (for instance Croatian) that ARE active; and,

3. By your logic there should only be two languages allowed on BCT: English and Chinese; and,

4. As I said in the OP the Philippines topic actually is quite busy with daily activity and "1/4M views (#2 has 100K, Croatian had just over 200K)".

So please stay on topic. I asked nicely twice now, all off topic reply's will be reported from now on...

I hope both this English as well as the "pretty clear" logic were clear enough for you and "you understand now"? (Returning the courtesy.)


1. Thats like discussing about weed legalization and then telling us we shouldnt discuss about alcohol or tobacco because we are discussing about weed legalization. 

2. There are no sub forums that are active at all, not even the one you mentioned, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=201.0 This one? its as dead as the spanish one and the others have like what, 3 or 4 topics that are updated each day at most

3. My logic is that it wouldnt hurt no one to have one but also it's probably not needed

4. And thats why i mentioned the spanish section.

So please report me what you want, that wont make you right.
1275  Other / Meta / Re: It is Wednesday (Activity confusion followup) on: July 09, 2015, 09:51:20 AM
One thing i noticed is that if i dont log in my activity wont change until i do? If that is indeed true what would happen if i dont log in for months, i would lose those activity points that i had to get those 2 weeks or will i get them anyways after months?
1276  Other / Meta / Re: Satoshi Nakamoto is a member of this forum on: July 09, 2015, 06:07:25 AM
Well if he is indeed still on the forum with another account it would be an old account most likely and that account would have a really good knowledge about bitcoins and technical details, not many people fit that description so...
1277  Economy / Gambling / Re: Signup Bonuses on: July 09, 2015, 04:15:45 AM
Those signup bonuses - never cashed out from them in my experience.
but normally I will just apply for those no deposit required 1,
therefore, at least I didn't loss on my own money.



Yeah but those ones are extremely hard to complete as well and most casinos make it that you only get like 25% on roulette or blackjack and only slots it's 100% which is bullshit, a rollover of x20 would be x80 if you played blackjack, we all know casinos are an indirect scam but when they do that it's ridiculous.
1278  Other / Meta / Re: It is Wednesday (Activity confusion followup) on: July 09, 2015, 04:09:01 AM
Looks like it's Wednesday.

Whoa! Wasn't my activity supposed to increase yesterday? Looks like I wasn't wrong!

Just wanted to post this here because I knew that my suspicions were right. They'd be even more accurate if it happens tomorrow. I was going to post this on the other thread I made, but it was already locked by an admin.



That's weird, yeah... I don't recall my activity updating yesterday either (but it may just be my bad memory)
I don't think that there is an exact set time, but it would be great if a mod/admin could clear this up.

Usually when the day comes i have always post something and wait some minutes and i get my activity updated, i dont really care anyways unless you are about to rank up. Is potential activity still a thing? I recall reading somewhere that it was changed?
1279  Economy / Gambling / Re: How do you guys win these gambling sites on: July 08, 2015, 06:27:50 PM
knowing when to stop is a very important part to any type of gambling. I used to play heads up poker for very high buy-ins and learned to not let profit/loss effect any of my gambling. With poker, playing an actual person makes it much easier to know when to fold or bluff. In dice, most people who are "winning" actually aren't. However, the ones who stand a chance are the ones who use a bot or script to place their bets, as bots don't have emotions and won't go all in after a large losing streak. I'm rambling.

here's a few recent withdraws i have received







doesn't seem like much when your playing $150 buy-in heads up poker  Roll Eyes

Thats a myth, stopping only helps you if you really stop like forever, you win 0.1 and you stop gambling FOREVER if you come back to gamble again you are not doing anything, the odds will still be the same even if you try to stop each time you get to, for example, 0.1 profit, you will eventually lose, people still dont understand that nothing helps you in gambling on dice

This is what he says now lol what a fucking lying sack of shit scumbag......

"Here's what you're going to do:
1) Go onto all of your accounts and schedule a withdrawal of all your coins.
2) Give me a list of all your account IDs
3) When I get around to it, I'll check each one. If the funds were stolen from someone who hasn't got them back, I'll give the coins back to them. Otherwise, I'll release the withdrawal. The accounts will be locked again, afterwards.
4) Never come back to my website. If you're detected again, your accounts will be locked (again). Do not be stupid enough to deposit. You will lose your coins. You are not welcome.

Jake"


Just makes up stories now.......  I have never scammed anyone, I bought that coin with money I earned this week at my JOB.  I don't sit around scamming people on the internet like Jake.   This is fucking bullshit I'm pretty pissed off right now, that guy is a fucking scumbag and I told him so.


'When i get around to it..." LOl so when you aren't mad at me anymore which could be months? LOL What does going thru all my accounts prove LOL....... Just give me my fucking .28 and I'll never come back what an asshole.

Also, my bitcointalk account was hacked and now I have all these negative feedback which isnt even real and my other account 'nyktalgia' is hijacked all from this website.  I've been harassed every since I called 999 a scam.

The first time you started this quest against 999dice was because some money disappeared from your account, finally the admin solved it, the problem was that you sent it to one of your other accounts, after claiming that they were a scam and bla bla turned out to be your fault, he now tells you that he will help you after you screamed scam and other shit all other the place and you keep complaining?? Did someone pay you to trashtalk them or what? Are you dellusional?

No but apparently you are.  He isn't helping me hes making up stories now to make me look bad.  That wasn't why I was saying they are a scam solely anyway, it's not even provably fair.   And now I have coin on there that he is refusing to give me because he is making up some bullshit about how I scammed other ppl LOL I havent even been there in 3-4 months or more!

Well from your last post he said he would allow you to withdraw your money with the conditions mentioned, i dont see the problem, do what he said and never come back but this time for good.
