Isn't this forum tapatalk friendly? Haven't checked.

No, it's not.

But it works perfectly fine on smartphones.

You sound like someone who doesn't visit the site from a smartphone.

Maybe because your phone is shit but im writing this from my phone (iphone) and i can tell you i have never had any problems at all, everything that has to be clicked can be tapped.

trust should be measured by many not by the ones in power

The ones in power are in power because others that are in power gave them that power, besides anyone can give you red or green trust, its not like quickseller is the only one that gives trust, if you were so trusted you wouldnt care about quickseller trust because you would have too much green trust but you dont and everyone knows why, now stop whining and making a fool of yourself

The dev seems pretty active and there are not many problems with the coin. Cryptsy is close to accept it as a new coin to trade so i think it has potential to go up, i will probably invest a little bit in it when it comes to cryptsy, i see there is a faucet too, looks promising, i will keep an eye on it.

i think better if buy from now
this coin increased step by step and stabil
almost no dump and pump


I like to wait until the coins get to cryptsy to buy which is going to be soon enough, what other exchanges is this coin on?

The thing is that nowdays there are tons of exchanges and most of them are really shitty and accept any coin no matter what, at cryptsy you have a little bit of quality even tho sometimes the coins there can go to shit easily.

Martingale has proven time and time again to get people to go broke. Better system is to start with 1 unit and increase after every win by 1 unit. If you get on a hot streak, you might be on to something good!

Thats the same as martingale but with wins instead of loses and no that system is not any better, its the same, it could be better because it could be faster if you get to a hot streak fast enough and you stop when you are ahead but in the end you would just lose like every other strategy with no better odds.
1466  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does martingale really works? on: June 05, 2015, 08:25:09 PM
Everyone who has been a part of any gambling site must have tried martingale. so i just wanted to know your experience that have u ever gained profit from martingale? or its name should be changed to martinfail?

I'm agree, the name must be changed for Martinfail.

One time i was making martingale at 95% to win, i was sure to lost 4 consecutive times was imposible Tongue but then it happen, 5 consecutive loss at 95%.

and i have another experience with that betting method, once at bones, martingale to win x2.5 i make 0.3 from 0.02... and then all gone.



But all the strategies should be named fail because all of them suck, people just complain about martingale because its the most famous one but it doesnt matter, one thing is sure, if you want to make x profit, instead of using martingale and waiting hours to get there just bet on the necessary odds with 1 bet and save yourself time, the odds would be the same.

In fact, the odds would be better with making just 1 bet than with using martingale.
You may want to take a look at my previous post in this thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=610339.msg11502113#msg11502113

The chances are indeed just a little little better on a single bet but your calculations are wrong. From what i understand you said that you have 66% chance vs 55% which is totally wrong there is no way the difference would be that big, i could link you something so you can see, give me a sec.


Here you go: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=948965.0

Read the second post and you will understand.

I don't think my calculation is wrong. The reason the difference is so big in my example is that I exaggeratedly set the base bet to a tiny amount, ie 1 satoshi.
Basically, the smaller the base bet, the more you have to wager in total to reach the same goal given that you have not encountered a long losing streak and get busted in the middle of the process.
And, the larger your wagered amount, the more negative your EV will be, and hence the lower the chance of success for reaching the same goal.

Also, the house edge in keepinquiet's example is 0.1%, while the one in my example is 10 times higher as 1%.

Theoretically speaking, you could also be flat betting 1 satoshi, and hope to get 500000 winning bets more than losing bets before getting busted. It definitely could happen, but the chance would be just a tiny fraction of 66%.

Edit: fixed some typos

No, im sorry you are wrong, house edge doesnt matter. Dont you think that if something like what you say was true there would be thousands of strategies and guides about it? Everyone would be doing it to get a 15% better chance, unfortunately its not possible.

Would you mind telling me exactly which step is wrong in my calculation?

And BTW what do you mean by house edge doesn't matter? Are you saying house edge does not affect your win chance?
When the house edge is 0.1%, the chance to win a x2 bet is 49.95%, but when the house edge is 1% the chance to win a x2 bet will be 49.5%. The difference looks small, but the effect will be very significant as you make thousands or even millions of bets.



House edge doesnt matter if you are calculating the chances of winning of 2 different strategies since you are aplying the same house edge for both of them, if you use martingale and plain bet the house edge could be 1% or 2% the idea would still be the same, that it doesnt matter what you bet you will have almost the same risk, yeah you have a little bit of advantage by betting only once but that wouldnt change if the house edge was bigger or lower, it would be proportional sort of.

Real world use has always been my deciding factor, if you can't use it places its inherently worthless.

Nah thats not good advice, not even bitcoin is used in the real world that much, and plenty of altcoins have been on top 10 with no real use, dogecoin? I mean come on that was a joke coin and look where it got, it has nothing to do with what you say, unfortunately.
1469  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does martingale really works? on: June 05, 2015, 05:55:28 PM
so if I have .5 btc to work with how much can I make .1 btc using it?
Pantheon if your aim is to make 0.1 BTC from that 0.5 BTC. I would suggest just making 2 bets at 90% and stopping after that. Because if you start from a small amount as 0.0001 . You will bust in less than 12 rolls, which can very well happen in a few hundred rolls. Martingale is usually worth with a large bankroll even then there is a big risk . Starting with 0.5 BTC will bust you much before you make any serious money with it.

The first part is true but saying martingale is "worth" with a large bankroll is wrong, doesnt matter your bankroll the risk is always the same with any strategy the only thing it changes is the time, as you said betting at a higher % to grt your profit and go away is. Better than martingaling all the way up since it would take more time, the risk is esentially the same tho.
1470  Other / Meta / Re: Who is the little bitch who added that POS Quickseller to default trust again? on: June 05, 2015, 04:51:21 PM
And now when he knows he is wrong he will also divert the topic and wont reply you straight. He just wants everyone to accept what he says as "truth".
He is just a troll and needs to be ignored.

Already done that weeks ago and I keep adding his agents/shills/alts as I go. XinXin seems like another ignored. Another one that can't think for himself or read the threads to a depth or read a false negs. I have held 80K for people and not one penny went missing. You want to address TRUST then know my record vs. his puffery over the last year. He hasn't ever done more than a few hundred bucks as an escrow. Can't trust him as far as you can throw em. Anonymous people should NEVER be trusted.

Problem becomes he has a myriad of alt accounts and is probably built relationships with other accounts here to maintain an image all behind a pseudonym propping up a small group of people to push trust ratings that are mostly fabricated or built on circular anonymous accounts that have never really transferred bitcoins to any real people. Why would he have so many issues with scammers? I have been here since 2013 and I have never run into scammers on his scale when doing business here. It is like he is honey trapping or ENTRAPPING people and that is a big reason for him not to be trusted in ANYTHING he says or does. He is not part of a LEO so he should be forthright about his identity and since he is not he should be given a wide berth.

Does anyone really know who this person is? Could be a Moderator or an Admin, could be a long time scammer for anyone knows given he has 'been' this an account for 1 year max. Please why do people even bother trusting this moron who can't tell the difference between extortion and a laundry list of proof of VAT and Mail fraud of someone like Dogie? If anything he is the one extorting people and misusing his unearned reputation libeling people left right and center. The amount of spam generated as a result of his false claims this past week would fill most forums and yet no bans? Why? You would think that a warning at least would be sent out that would reprimand him for FALSE accusations? That is the real problem I see is mods turning a blind eye to that form of spam. At what point does he have to go before he gets punished for lies and false accusations?

I dont give a shit who he is, i couldnt care less, this is a forum there is no need for us to know who he is, what i care about is his accusations and evidence, you obviously got your red trust for a reason, its not only quickseller that left you negative trust, you are throwing accusations against quickseller with no evidence to back it up and you complain about him for supposedly doing the same, do you see the irony there?

You wrote a whole lot of useless trash there again throwing accusations and saying things with absolutly no evidence.
1471  Other / Meta / Re: Who is the little bitch who added that POS Quickseller to default trust again? on: June 05, 2015, 03:17:24 PM
Problem is people lie.

Quickseller is a liar and that is the main issue here.

When he is wrong he won't admit his error and keeps attacking (lying) to maintain the image he is somehow above being wrong.

I get called an extortionist and that is pure bullshit. I have a better escrow record than he does. I have never extorted anything from anyone and people think that an anonymous agent in these forums like he is should be trusted?

Come on now when is ever okay to hide your identity and try to bust scams in public forum? He isn't some undercover FBI agent he is just someone hiding behind an alt account of known person in these forums most likely.  Never trust people hiding their identities. Never for escrow. Never for account selling. Never for anything. Who the fook knows who he really is right?

I just lost what little respect I had left for Tomatocage. This is unfortunate, I once considered him a pillar of this community.

In case you didn't notice, QS left you the trust that fixed your trust issue.



Bahahaha, I just saw that as well. Bit ironic that the person who tries to stand up for you and prevent you from having a TWC tag is the same person who you decide to insult for being put back onto DefaultTrust.

That said, I've been away for a while, but I never had an inherent problem with QS. He did leave the occasional weird negative trust but generally his ratings were (are?) accurate.

QS: This was the insult.

Quickseller didn't fix anything, all he did was make it so I don't have ? ? ? any more. I still have a ZERO trust rating after hundreds of trades and 4 years of activity because Vod feels it is appropriate to destroy peoples trust ratings because he does not like what was said about him. Him leaving a rating for me doesn't change my opinion of him, and if anything I would prefer he had not left it, because we have never traded or even hardly had any direct interaction. Furthermore he calls my left ratings into question. I am curious which actual rating(s) he takes issue with, because unlike you jamokes I try to limit my ratings to people I have had direct interaction or trade with and have used negative ratings sparingly. Additionally my posts have noting to do with the default trust, but with how the rules are selectively enforced regarding it (specifically Vods systematic abuse of it). I don't consider this a favor, even if he intended it to be.

This is what I hate about this forum, except trades being value over opinionated feedback,  Trade Feedback and opinionated feedback should be separated in value.  if you didn't conduct a trade to the member then your feedback shouldn't be more valued then feedback done with monies.

So what does that quote have to do with anything??  You say he doesnt admit his errors, would you mind quoting or linking an example of that? You were called extortionist by him but you also have a lot more negative trust ratings from other important people once again proving that everyone that is against quickseller is a moron and deservers all his ratings.

Actually I was right and so was shorena. I have a strong technical background that will soon exponentially get better. You can't seriously expect to have a better understanding of q. computing (in this language) than me when you have problems dealing with English. //This could be said about Shorena as well (if I knew the person better).
This just verifies my first assumption. Amph isn't proficient in English [not to mention the grammatical errors (e.g. if you was)], and isn't that good at dealing with discussions either. I'm going to assume that he's from a 3rd world country as they don't have any classes that teach proper argumentation and debating.
Amph if I may ask, where are you from?


Shorena you're right and I've previously stated in the thread that even though his posting habit could be considered quite bad it doesn't mean that he is a spammer. It's good to mention Danny's list; he's a very patient person. I was on that list without even realizing, however as soon as my posting had (exponentially) improved he removed me. I honestly believe that every single member on that list deserves to be on it.


Update: Improvements to the post.

those are just grammatical errors, they have nothing to do with my understanding of the text, i'm not english native, those errors are expected i think

about quantum computers i wasn't wrong really, we were just talking about two different things(you, about the fact that they could not break sha256 and i, about the fact that they could put a dent on the ecdsa)

You can check his posts from january 2014, he posted a lot there too but im not sure when the sig campaigns started, if there werent any then he is not posting for money, if someone old enough could tell us when did the sig campaigns start, it would be helpful.

exactly, there was a time where i was posting more than 40+ post(in the alt section, without carrying any sig)

Yep honestly i used to do that too with my old account on the altcoin section, there were so many altcoins (still are ) that you could post quite a lot in all of them, even more if you were following some and planned to mine or invest in them, then again OP doesnt make any quality posts himself so its kind of ironic.

1475  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does martingale really works? on: June 05, 2015, 11:30:42 AM

If you go martingale with 0.00000001 btc (1 satoshi)
you will need 10,73741824 btc to withstand a 29 loose streak!

Actually you would need to bet 2.68435456 Btc to sustain a 29 lose streak but thats not the problem the problem with betting 1 satoshi is that you would need to bet 2 MILLION times to get 0.01 profit if you didnt bust, even with the best scripts, bots it would take you wayy to much time, better bet  0.2 at 95% and you get 0.01 in 1 bet if you win, the risk is the same but you save time.
1476  Other / Meta / Re: Amph, the useless user! on: June 05, 2015, 10:47:43 AM
I thought about reporting Amph several times in the past, but I never did (at least not that I remember). Yes, they post a lot and some of it is nonsense or just plainly wrong. A reasonable discussion was not possible in my personal experience. I cant provide a link, but I remember a thread where I and IIRC LaudaM[1] tried to argue with Amph and it was fruitless.

I did not write a report because of the points gogxmagog already mentioned. We can hardly ban someone for beeing undiscerning and shallow. Amph if this sounds like a insult to you, that is not my intention, its just my personal perception of many of your posts, other may see this differently. Its also perfectly fine to have different views on things and not all are appealing to everyone.

If you however as you say hate yourself for posting, maybe you should get help. Do something else or start a new account to limit the amount of posts you can write.

[1] Sorry If I dragged you into this and you have not been involved.
No, it is okay as I'm a pretty open person. I remember actually having multiple discussions with him that were fruitless. However, I'm starting to think that he doesn't understand English properly even though he might think that he does. This does not make him a spammer, although he could try to minimize his posting and focus on reading (if he truly isn't doing it for money).

if you was referring to that discussion about quantum computers, i still remember it clearly, and none was right or wrong, just different views of the same thing
Yes, that was the topic and IIRC you have misconceptions about quantum computing, but as I said above it was not possible to discuss this with you and I dont see a reason to repeat this here where its off topic. In the light of the thread it was most likely not spam or useless.

De todas formas no parece que el interés por Bitcoin decaiga, si bien ha habido una bajada momentánea de transacciones, ha aparecido un nuevo pico que sugiere que esa aparente bajada es sólo por la aleatoriedad estadística:
https://blockchain.info/es/charts/n-transactions?showDataPoints=false&timespan=&show_header=true&daysAverageString=7&scale=0&address=

Sip, tienes razon, no ha bajado, ademas es obvio que cuando el precio se disparo hasta 1200~ habria mas transacciones, el bitcoin estaba incluso en las noticias, es lo que hizo que se conociese. Pero vamos que el bitcoin ahora esta en su mejor momento en cuanto a estabilidad que es lo que cuenta.

Profile link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=99297

Bye.

I completely agree.  I haven't been registered on this forum for long, but he's the first one I put on my ignore list.  He posts in almost every new topic and most of what he writes is complete retard gibberish.  There is no other forum I know of that has anything approaching the corrupting effects of the signature campaigns.  

Thumbs down, says Caesar!!!

i see no difference from "retard gibberish" and your retard gibberish post in your profile..., i think here the problem is another, here there a problem of hating someone that is everywhere on the forum, i can understand this aspect, because some times i also hate myself when i scroll some thread and i see that i'm in everyone of those(a bit hilarious but it's the truth lol)

my only problem is that i have plenty of free time and i can post all day nothing else

Whatever dude, dont listen to them, in any case you could start a thread against the OP, take a look at his posts, mostly 1 liners with what, 30 characters at most, he complains about you spamming when his posts are total trash, his excuse? ''i dont use a sig campaign'' so because you dont wear a sig ad you can post trash all over the forum and complain about others.
