1321  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin be used by ordinary citizens? on: February 28, 2017, 10:28:49 AM
Definitely, everyone can use bitcoin even ordinary citizens as long they acquired proper knowledge on how to use it. Even they have limited knowledge about technology they can easily use bitcoin with proper guidance. Thus, many people here in my country can easily adopt the use of technology even bitcoin too.

All man has the ability to adopt to the situation, when they see that something is happening and everyone else is learning it, they will do the same, just like how we learn those things that are trending in the community. Sooner or later we learn it thru watching them, asking and being thought about it.

Same as in bitcoin, ordinary people can learn how to use it when they see that everyone else is using it.
Not all man for sure, bitcoin does not pass on to the comprehension of all people, there are people who lives under poverty and they are not educated enough to understand bitcoin. In addition, even if they understand and still they are under poverty, there focus would be different and not to transact, invest, or whatsoever. Let's accept the fact that the massive adoption that we are hoping will not be big as what we are expecting.
yeaaa some people even have not a gadget, laptop , smartphone and any other facility to have an access to bitcoin.
bitcoin itself invented as for the digital money ( futur of money ) .
so i think it is clearly for now ordinary citizens not yet can accept / use bitcoin , since bitcoin invented few years ago only , they will not trust on bitcoin.

The easiest way to get money is definitely from gambling. There is no assurance at all so you could lose your initial money. That's just going to hurt more, and you are going to be broke. There are different strategies that can come from the net or other resources. You just have to see what's right for you.
Agreed with you said if the easiest way to get or losing our money is from gambling, but disagree with bolded parts. There is no such like strategies which can make profit for you, if those strategies really worked, the person who told us about that should become a millionaire. Wink
Different "strategies" for entertain only in gambling, especially on dice games.
yeaa that's what i mean about strategy only another way to entertain yourself.
rely on a strategy will never make you get profit easier , it is make your game more complicated instead.
make yourself wake up from the dream about getting a steady income with gambling , it won't work and it is won't happened.
1323  Economy / Economics / Re: Can we Manipulate Bitcoin price? on: February 28, 2017, 10:04:20 AM
Only the big whales of 10.000 BTC would be able to have an impact on the price, and even then, it would be minimum.

We saw hundred of thousands of BTC stolen from Bitfinex and we saw a flash crash and we are already recovering. The amount of money you would need is simply too damn high.
IMHO whales holding 10.000 BTC are not fond of dumping coins because the believe bitcoins potential has not yet reached, unless the carried out a coordinated dumping to manipulate prices.
Having the number of coins is very easy to influence the market and do so competently to direct at low prices could buy more bitcoin.
More demands and it will very difficult to manipulate the price of bitcoin. but it depend on the situation of the bitcoin market. if he dump on the bearish trend and it will give him more.
how about the bitcoin 51% attack? technically bitcoin price could be manipulated.
that's why Gavin Andresen have said to recommend every miner to join the smaller pool to mining rather than to make only one pool getting bigger.
this is a serious threat i guess , bitcoin currently is manipulatable.
1324  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to play gambling in a smart way? on: February 28, 2017, 09:56:18 AM
I do not know how to gamble smart, I only know how to quit. So instead of gambling my money away, I stopped doing it. But sometimes, I still get tempted and bet once in a while. I think it is still healthy because I am not addicted to it.

Man, if you don't know how to gamble smart. It's very easy thing to do. When you gamble and you have enough money, you just need to budget it properly. And if you are still not addicted in gambling you can apply to gamble smartly. You can also do some smart way by simply betting small amount of bitcoins/money when you bet.
Yes gamble smartly means you have a plan on how to manage your money and not being greedy. dont use the money you cant afford to lose and if you had the chance to win, stop for now and enjoy your earnings.

Being not greedy or avoiding to be on that attitude is already considered as a good strategy and smart way of gambling. If you are responsible and you know that it can make you worst when you become greedy, you know how to gamble smartly and you will not let your emotion to fall on that state.
i told you to stay on the limit , it means you are avoiding the greedy.
you have to know the power of how much you can afford to lose and don't break it no matter what happened.
stick on it and you will not put yourself in danger and gamble with your brain not only with your emotion.

Yes staying on your limit or following your set rules will be the best way to gamble smartly. Because if you are disciplined you ca be smarter than those guys that are not using their heads when gambling.
you've got my point right? be discipline and you will get a better result.
rather than to keep following your greedy that always leading to lost and have benefit at all.
think with a fresh mind , whenever you get heated just coool it down by take a break and then continue when you feel okay , don't push yourself.

I know these being cool and not being greedy when gambling is easier said than done. Why?, because most of the gamblers, most specially the new ones have no control to their emotions and just carried away with the winnings and losing. It is indeed hard to control that emotion but once you mastered it, you are up for a good win one of these days.
no , i even think that the new comer have a better emotion control .
they just put their money and see the result no matter win or lost they will let the game go with the flow.
to not being greedy is always be a hard task for everyone who gamble continuously , but not with the one who gamble occasional and calmly.
1325  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to quit Gambling for good? on: February 28, 2017, 09:39:07 AM
It's good that you want to get back what you lost because you shouldn't let the casino owner get your money. Somehow get it back. Learn how to get it then eventually, you can. If you made a strategy good enough. If you don't want to learn, then you probably need just to let it go and quit.

Gambling has nothing to do with learning. It is silly to learn anything from it if you actually know that the result of the game is completely random .If you think that what you suggested actually works then go ahead and prove it. I'll be willing to tip you a considerable amount if you could make it works
lol yeaa people was too naive to keep believing on something such as a winning strategy etc.
the one which guaranteed sure in gambling is that the game generated randomly so do with the result.
any strategy won't have effect to change the outcome , strategy just an additional thing to make the game more fun , nothing related with changing the outcome.
1326  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!! on: February 28, 2017, 09:29:10 AM
Gambling is a sickness for some gamblers but of course not for the all of them. Some people just enjoy the game and never lose to it all they have or even a significant amount for them. I personally know several gamblers, online and irl ones, who are gambling for years not becoming gambling addicts.

That's when gambling is considered sickness is when they are already enjoying it and they do it for several times and they are affected by gambling with their daily lives. But when they are winning and their standing is very good and the fun never stops. Good thing that there are people that can manage to be not sicked with gambling including me.  Cheesy
A lot of people went crazy because of gambling , they cannot afford to lose but the did it anyway.
Causing them in a lot of debt and desperate to continue their lives and even try to suicide.
That's pretty insane isn't it? The message here is to not gamble what you cannot actually afford to lose, or it is yeaaa become a sickness.

well i don't see gambling really as sickness from a personal point. i've been gambling for several years now and i can say that it has a positive effect on me as it relieves stress and puts me in an enjoyable mood. i think there's such a thing as healthy gambling where in you can be engaged in it without having to worry about becoming addicted. gambling has been around for as long as people learned how to communicate with each other and i think it becomes a sickness only if we do it with an unreasonable amount of time and money,
lol are you sure? nothing positive in gambling , there is only lost lost and lost which bad at all.
what are your stats now by the way? i mean so far you are in profit or what? what makes you thinking that gambling has positive effect to you?.
and yeaaa that's my point don't gamble if you cannot afford it. pretty simple.

I agree with you, I also think too many bad things caused by gambling. I think what we do is a waste of money. Even though you win the game, I'm pretty sure you do not add the money you have from the previous one. Because I'm sure the number that you can defeat more than victory . It has become the path of a gamble game.
It is always be the main problem of many player.
they know it has been waste their time and money but still  they keep repeating the same thing for long time.
It has been a sickness for those people who can not control their emotion to want an impossible winning in the long run.
I really don't know on whats on the minds on those people who are strongly believing that they would able to become rich on playing gambling and even there are already losing to much money they still tend to continue and I don't know that those people are dumb enough that they cant notice on whats happening to theirselves.
that is soemthing called addiction , and there a lot of cases gambling addiction turn to a madness.
once you cannot handle your desire to continue gambling even with a limited amount.
means you are broken already but you want to gamble, it is what makes you considered have got a sickness.
1327  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling be profitable in long term ? on: February 28, 2017, 04:04:43 AM
If someone which follows the set of rules and be discipline enoff. Can people make 50-100 $ a day just gambling in online casino.....?
It could be  profitable if I deposit big capital in the bank then I gamble seriously to make my bankroll balance be double, it needs some strategy to be use while in the games.

Though that capital will be good as 0 if you will just gamble it, and taking it seriously? Come on, dont do that, try to invest that big capital of your, that is far more better than gambling it. Unless you are skillful poker or blackjack professional player.
the bigger bankroll you take the bigger amount potential you will lost .
did everyone aware about that risk? people is too greedy to realize something like that isn't it?
don't expect to make money in gambling , it is always against your expectation , the point is won't profitable.
1328  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Rich from Gambling? on: February 28, 2017, 02:50:36 AM
You do not see anyone rich from gambling, which is taken for granted. No one rich from gambling or if there are people that, they can not sustain. Today you can win but tomorrow you can lose. And you want to get back the money lost, you plunge into the gambling to earn its money back. Decided not to gamble is your right decision.I have also seen many people lost property, homes just because of gambling. But gambling is not bad. You can see it as a form of entertainment after a tiring working hours. And if you intend to get rich from gambling, then I advise you not to because could not get rich from gambling.
I think only those people who are not strong in decision power and in experience people  can lose in again the winning amount. But those people who have strong decision power and having good well power then they can sustain and can even increase their winning amount. But I think very little number of people has the power.
lol no matter how strong you are , how wise you are in making decision , gamble in the long run really hard to make it keep in profit.
it is always gives you a negative EV , you can not avoid the fact that making money with this way is unreal.
i believe only those people who won big and leave gambling forever the only one who get rich.
1329  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Strategy and Lost in GAMBLE on: February 26, 2017, 12:11:10 PM
Even if you have the best strategy that you have its not your assurance to never be lose in the gambling game. If you won twice that time you play with your best strategy, you must not expect for another chance so that you may not lose in another rounds.

These probably fair games are designed such that each time they will give you different results and no way we can expect every time same result. So surely if one gamble for a longer time then will lose all money to the gambling house. Because no strategies work in gambling but one can just gamble with a small amount and enjoy these game, and if they are lucky then they will earn some money or just have fun.
- Yes, in gambling, the strategy will not help you, because have cheating in gambling, you never realize it. You will never win, right from when starting, gambling was unfair, you're always the passive and the casino keeps the advantage, you can not make money from it. Strategy, analysis is useless, you can not win if you're a gambler. You can only gambling as a fun, victory is never belong gamblers
that is true , you will always in disadvantage position as long as you are a player there.
people feel cheated when they lost even the casino was verified fair theoretically and mathematically.
based on my experience yeaa in the end strategy feel won't affect anything.
The strategies will not work for a long period it is the truth, but for a short period, it will work. Yes will make a short-term win in gambling, but we will not stop our play we will continue to make long run win in this process we will lose money. So the strategies will work based on our luck. If our luck is good you can make any strategy you will win.
no matter you use strategy or not , gambling regularly in the long run was not a good idea.
it will always bring you a lost in the end , unless if you really in super lucky situation which it is rare happened.
so it is up to you now , want to keep playing for make money purpose or change it to gamble for one time or twice only ?
1330  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I never made any profits in dice game.. whats is your opinion on: February 26, 2017, 11:53:58 AM
Hi guys i just want to share my experience in gambling which is i am still playing since january but never made any profit with this game.. any other tricks settings and methods are already tried but still now never made any profits..
What you can suggest to me i will still continue to gamble in dice game with other methods or just stop gamble..Huh
In any gambling site, they will only give a chance to win in the beginning then in the end always loss is your always be encounter in every round of the games. Meaning no profit that can you get in gambling. So the best tips is Stop gamble!
Not true because their system is not rigged and they cannot dictate it to give us a win in our first try, maybe the beginner's luck will play most of the time for us that is why we get attracted to gamble. Speaking of dice, you can expect you will really lose in the long run so better stop analyzing things much but rather just enjoy the game and be watchful with your bets to do it with limit.
there's nothing called beginner luck , they mostly just play randomly and it bring them a luck.
so it is clearly not the matter you are a beginner or not , but the way you gamble.
in gambling especially dice game , make a random bets sometimes better rather than have to gamble with a complicated and useless strategy.
1331  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: how to start trading with a very small amount on: February 24, 2017, 11:44:40 AM
I tried doing trading with a low amount but the problem was that I could not manage when I give some loss or have some profits. Its very difficult when we have low bankroll while when we have high bankroll trading seems like a fluent job.

Having low bankroll is fine when you are just starting to trade. The thing is, you have to mindset that it is as if a big bankroll already - but t be honest, it is just a numbers thing. When you profit and good at earning .001 btc in your trading, think of it as just changing the decimal point to the left when you work with high bankroll.

having a low bankroll is fine, but having too low is a bit problem, because when you having too low bankroll, when you suffered lost you don't have the money to try to trade again because you don't have the money to spend, if you are having a low bankroll you better find a low price coin to trade, small amount trade is only to practice your skill, don't expect too much to gain profit
yeaaa , making money from trading always depend on how much your capital .
so when you have small amount as capital then don't expect to have a huge profit , just consider it as coumpounding capital before do the real trading later when you have collected huge amount of money enough as capital , do trading on low value altcoin at first time because it is usually has a high volatility and of course have a high percentage in return.
1332  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dice game strategy? on: February 24, 2017, 11:35:09 AM
I think there is no special strategy in dice gambling, which I do is play with the casual, not pressure and it just makes the dice gambling as entertainment. If we just focus for the win, then everything looks ugly and make our emotions if lost.

That's the best way to play it and not any kind of strategy that is just potentially a losing one. Well, actually all the strategy you can think of in gambling usually fails. That is the reason why casinos are still here. There are millions of slot games in casinos, why do you guys think they are still operational for the longest time? If the smartest people has already said it can't be done, then it will not be. A strategy whatever it is for dice will never work.
Certainly, there is no certain in dice game. However, the mood of the gambler would help him to make a profit. The more pressured that gambler to pursue huge profit, the higher the chance he might lose in a row. Hence, just simply being relax in rolling the dice, you could be more focused what bet you are going to put your money.
true , you have to play in relac condition , don't get rushed and stay calm.
even though it is hard to make it happen in dice game , at least give it a try and see .
dice game really full of luck , the only thing to handle it is by controlling the situation and keep gambling randomly.

Ok, I'm thinking of playing at FJ, I have deposited to other on-line dice games as well but haven't got any issues yet. I will watch this thread and see how it goes.
i don't think this is a serious issue that could affect fortunejack reputation .
but still however it is worth to wait fortunejack to respond to this thread making an official statement and make a clarification .
in my point of view , op caught cheating and don't want to responsible , he want his money back Sad too bad.

ya i want my coin back ! multiple accounts ? really
leave me the proof if I have multiple accounts

>>>150-200 account is very easy to be tracked on your db.give a reason and explain that there is no tricking people
i know that feeling , when actually the system failure causing you to be blame.
an anti fraud system can be wrong too , i can't see any reason for fortunejack to close your account unless if they have a valid proof.
goodluck to you and i wish fortunejack can take a little time for this case.

I didn't know that so many people here use Steam. I mean it makes a little bit of sense as this being a computer forum and all.

I haven't purchased anything from steam though I purchased $1,000+ with BTC at Gamestop.
no it is not indeed , but people around here sometimes use steam and buy games with bitcoin for the sake help the merchant of bitcoin growing faster , so another similar merchants will follow how steam adopt bitcoin as their payment processor.

I don't really care for btc bonuses in casinos...

I like free spins and those things that's for sure
But deposit bonuses for example are pure shit, you never get your amount as you've to gamble like 35 times the amount on slots before ><
deposit bonus terms always sucks , always make us as player in disadvantage .
it looks fair when we provided a double capital amount but the wagering requirement make everything complicated.
i don't like a bonuses like that too , prefer to looking for a temporary promotion usually it gives a good terms , a really fair terms.
1336  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: February 24, 2017, 10:38:45 AM

If you can treat gambling properly i guess there is nothing wrong.
But since nowadays a lot of people use gambling as source of income things turn wrong and worse.
They can not afford to lose but want to keep playing and get profit, it is not makes sense .

Alot of people cant control what they are doing so it is still advisable to stay away from gambling no matter what. Of course unless you own a very alrge amount of money that you dont care and willing to throw away than that is fine and apart from that it is actually wrong to gamble as it might lead to addiction
no , when you have a lot of money to spend you might will not choose to gamble at all.
there's a lot of fun things to do rather than have to spend their money into casino.
so basically it is not about the money you have , but about how you manage yourself to not ruin your life with gambling, the key is to do it occasionally, then gambling will not go wrong.

Of course that depends on the person, some people will choose other kind of things to do instead of gambling because they know that they dont really need it and of course if someone choose to gamble then he will have full responsibility for his own life because there is a high chance that gambling might ruin his life
someone with a lot of money will have a difference thought , you know why ?
you might often experienced when you won big amount of money you will just spend it on anything in front of you.
so does when you have a lot of money , gambling is not the first choice, those people who need money make it as first choice and it is completely erroneous.
1337  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Play with your profit or not? on: February 24, 2017, 10:10:48 AM
if you are not a regular gambler then you could not play with the profit bet when you are a regular gambler then you have to do it.
Yes, for those gamblers who prefer to stop after sometimes of gambling will not go for re-using their profits again into another round of gambling. Only the continuous gamblers will play again with profits and probably will stop only after facing loss of all the bankroll. Yes, playing with profits will find an end only at white-wash.
so prefer to gamble occasionally only , you will enjoy the winning even for a while .
you will not have to gamble with the profit , and really treat gambling as entertainment not to make money .
i have no skill to become a regular gambler , i don't know if anyone can really be a successful regular gambler?
1338  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can gambling help you with your life? on: February 24, 2017, 10:00:24 AM
Gambling sometimes helps me in my life in the fun that I am experiencing and for the little profit but its not good to make this as an habitual activity. This helps a lot but if being abused it may lead to addiction, so you should manage your emotions so that it will bring good effect to your life.
Making it a habit means it will slowly turning it to addiction if it's too much. Gambling can help you when you win, and when you lose, for sure you will just be sad. There's no helping you in the future. Only you can turn your life around when you do it.
it will not help you at all when you get addicted , everything will turn badly.
gambling basically helps you only in term getting an extraordinary entertainment .
other than that just bad things , i don't believe gambling can always help your life in long term , it is just temporarily.
1339  Economy / Marketplace / Re: ZERO Confirmations after 48 Hours on: February 24, 2017, 09:45:38 AM
I sent .1 BTC to a friend with a 0.001 Transaction Fee on 21 Feb 2017 (48 hours ago).

I never had a transaction confirmation take this long?  I looked on blockchain.info and it shows Zero confirmation on my address and then receivers address.

Is this something I should be concerned about, or just keep waiting?  Is there anything I can do.

Thanks

The 0.001 fee doesn't mean a lot... How many inputs/outputs for the transaction? The fee is based on the transaction size (in bytes), the transaction size is based on the amount of inputs and outputs. In other words, a 0.001BTC fee might be overkill in case you only used 1 input to create 1 output, or insufficient in case you used 50 inputs to create 2 outputs.

Maybe you can post the tx id, in that case i can have a look what's wrong (hint: in 99% of the cases, it's an insufficient fee)
i am curious that the bitcoin on his wallet previously have a lot of small transaction coming.
so when he want to send them together in single transaction automatically required quite higher fee to unify the previous small transaction piece by piece.
i have experienced something similar like this , send 0.25 bitcoin with fee almost 0.005 and that is normal i think.
1340  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you use analysis when play gambling? on: February 24, 2017, 09:37:27 AM
Through sports betting we can analyse the match according to players by seeing their track record, but where as gambling like dice, slots, casino etc. It is not possible to analyse even though we can have an experience in gambling in form of loosing. But analyzing which one will be next number is completely flawless.
You really cannot analyse what number you are going to have the next time you roll in a dice site and if you can really determine that you must either be knowing the server seed before hand which is not a fair way to win ,other than that there is no way you can determine the outcome.I accept the fact you can have some stats and determine when it comes to sports betting.
well i guess exploiting gambling site also part of analysis  Grin.
they analyze if there is something to break and exploit then go for take benefit on it or simply report the bugs to them and get rewarded as a white hat.
anyways analysis can always push your winning chance rather than have to do nothing so , i used it often.
