I have rolling limits so to say.

First I start with an amount for that day.
Lets say it's 0.10 BTC for example.
That is what I can and expect (lol) to lose.
As doubling is not enough for both game experience as profit I don't cash out at 0.2 (unless I'm bored of course but it is not a low limit) for me it is about 3x initial deposit where limits start shifting.
So when I have 0.3 BTC my cash out low limit will be 0.15 to 0.2 depending on my mood.
When I reach 0.4 my cash out low limit will be 0.2 to 0.3 etc

Playing this way with either BTC or in real life does not prevent you stopping at a goal when you're on a roll but makes certain there is no loss and a little profit. (granted you get to doubling of course). It also prevents myself of ever increasing high bids in games as I can't bet more then what's above my low limit.

Ok I must say I had a lot of times that I thought that I should have bet more because I would have won more, but those times are still way less then hat my system saved me going bankrupt. And I think it is online a bit harder then in real life, as in real life casino's I put the stuff in my pockets, not on the table or in a slot. For example when I win a pretty big bonus on a slot I cash out and put another bill in. So I have my payout in my pocket.

That is what most people seem to forget.
That 4 BTC (in your case) is just a number and only becomes a profit when you would have withdrawn it.

OK well there are a few things I would like. I don't play that much in online casinos because I like real casinos and they make me aware of being busy with gambling and when not. playing online I can do on the toilet of I want so that kinda makes the border diffuse. So taking that, I might suggest things that are already available so excuse me for that and I do compare it with RL gambling probably too much.

What I would like to see:
- First is about the bankroll that someone has. I don't like that when I switch from slots or other games I put in my complete bankroll I have on a site. For reference when gambling in RL most of my bankroll is in my pocket and part of my winnings go to another pocket.

So lets say I put 1 BTC into a site I would like to have the choice to put 0.05 BTC into one game, if I lose all I still have 0.95 to try out other games, if I double up and switch games I have 0.05 in a new game and 1 BTC in account for additional purposes.

- Another one is slots, I like to play slots in casinos but not so much the 777s, I can have a good time with extended features and several bonus types. I probably haven't found the right online casino for that yet but most slots online get me easily bored. Maybe a scatter or a bonus once in a while but the "experience" is totally different then in RL .

Ok I can understand the coins that get into development of these games both in RL as online are a huge difference. But still that is something that I miss.

- what I also miss with tablegames and/or card games is just watching a few of the tables before I make up my mind on where and what to play. Not sure how to describe that, but when strolling around the roulettetables in a casino you can see 3 to 6 tables and their previous numbers at once. In a split second you can decide if a table is rolling your numbers or not, weird superstition I guess, but online I just cant. I need to go into a table (for rl comparison it is like each table has its own room where you cant see the other before entering them.

Same goes for when others are on a roll, sometimes you just want to join and surf the waves next to them. But I guess this has a lot to do with atmosphere and is not easily possible online.

-Ohw and I miss the cute waitresses bringing me booze lol

The thing is when I play online and I lost my coins for that evening I consider it a loss, when I play in RL 70% of the time I consider it as a loss well worth the entertainment it gave me.

But that is probably just me

This ^^^^ is a valid reason a lot of people seem to forget

If I win in gambling or have earned from investing/trading I always take a cut to spend it on whatever feels like fun at that moment.
Profits are just numbers if you keep shoving them around and not enjoy the spoils of your war. So my wealth grows more slow then I would when I keep reinvesting/gambling/shoving it around but I sure have a whole lot more fun.

Spoil your SO, your kids, family and friends, waste some coins in having a good time, because that is what makes memories and you would like to have those right before you leave this world. A bag of coins is not sufficient in that.

BTW when you actually do spoil yourself or the ones surrounding you it feels extra sweet knowing it was a certain gamble or trade that paid for it. For me personally it feels much better then saving up from my normal wages and spend it somehow.

I am just curious if neilbab has tried this:


as it worked for me with similar issues.

I had a similar issue a couple of days(weeks?) ago. But I thought it was just on my end (had a hdd failure and just recently swapped everything to a new hdd) Nothing seemed to help.

- Rescanning/rebuilding didn't work.
- reinstalling didn't work.
- reinstalling and restoring with the backup didn't work.
- checking the wallet on errors gave 0 errors
- the building of the databases went to 99% but as soon as it checked the transaction history Armory crashed.
- rebuilding the tx history in bitcoinqt didn't help anything.

what eventually worked for me was the following:

- I moved my walletfiles to a different location
- reinstalled Armory and let it connect without making or importing a wallet.
- when armory was showing "connected" I imported the wallet from that different location (wallets>Import or restore wallet)
- And I let it restore while Armory was running (One by one, no simultaneously restoring wallets) (it might take a while for old or heavily used wallets)


I do run bitcoinqt separately so Armory doesn't control it.

And sadly because of the reinstalling and stuff I don't have logs of what happened.

Good luck

Thank You .
Problem solved.

Hi, I had an issue with a tx and asked about it in the chat:


https://blockchain.info/tx/476e71958b9b5585abcc14470d36cdc67b71486cfbf24932f5c39b4fe73eae1d

Your answer was that you would refund it.


As of now I didn't receive anything yet. Can you please refund or show me the tx from refunding?

Thank You

It was not the fee that was the problem at first, it was the size of the tx as it was build up from all small inputs into one output. That made it almost 9kb. Normally my tx are between 200 and 800 b and my fee is slightly higher then average/ideal on tradeblock or blocktrail. So that is why my fee was 10 to 20 times lower then normal.

I just waited it out. It took about 13 hours for a 3 sats/b tx.

Thanks. I looked everywhere but didn't decode the Raw Tx 

As of now there is no way to rebroadcast the tx with a higher fee right?

Any plans to implement replace by fee in a next update?

Question.

Is it possible to see the size of a tx before you send it? Either with direct sending or with the steps of creating an unsigned tx - sign & broadcast it?

I ask this because I made a transaction that had a huge size in kb and so an extremely low fee sats/bit that will take ages to confirm.

So next time I would like to prevent that.

All are equal for me. I am bad in gambling in a sense that if I win 1 btc and lose 0.5 in the same period I feel more worse about the 0.5 loss then the 1 BTC win makes me happy. Even if I are in profit in general.

If you could set up "fee per kb" instead of "fee per tx" it would solve a lot of issues

Well first of all, You give a completely different response then some here in this thread and I can respect that.



First of all I am not against warnings at all, quite the opposite actually and I never lured anyone in promising great profits or anything. I made them aware of the system and the pits they can fall in but only when asked. I even think that the subforum should be renamed Ponzi's Pyramides and HYIPs just to make it even more clear. In another thread I explained why it is better to have a controlled space for that kind of things where in you can keep them small and tight and the losses of the noobs of the bitcoin community (not the bitcointalk community) can be low as the coins they put in seldom go over the 0.01BTC I mainly referred to the law because someone mentioned Ponzi's are illegal.


Well for some in here it is not about the long time member presenting it as legit service. It is about everyone that is joining a Ponzi in the subforum and according to their account everyone who is joining is proving they are a scammer hence the cute red warning:



But in my opinion that is tagging the noobs too, like you say they are not the point in this discussion. As said warning explains they will tag everyone that is joining noob or not. and by that I come to this point:


The problem they cause by this I explained here:


So by them tagging everyone, you have to agree that it will even become more obscure for a newcomer to see the legitimate negative trust on the ones organizing as everyone is wearing the same tag.

So I have no problem what so ever with a warning in every new thread, it could even be an automated message that gives an ever clearer warning than the standard warning above the sub. I have no problem with tagging every operator deep in the red and explain it in the topic itself. But I do think it will miss it's goal if you will tag everyone.

Not all Ponzi's work like that. Only the most simplistic stuff is like that. But as soon as there are different options in "profits" and timeframes in "turnovers" there is no need to get new investors, you can easily scoop up the coins already in a project as last player scammer  . Pretty standard in the HYIP world. Not so common here yet as most of the projects here are just the same lame script copy. However flexibit was an example of that. And one user from here showed exactly what I just said. that is just math.

Btw the process is unstable and that can be proven by math but it is not unstable because of math.

As part of the community I disagree

If you don't recognize the world of western business for what it is it is fine by me. I didn't say it was to prove any good. You misread again.

you say:


I do give a shit, that is why I chose certain users to be ripped off and others not.


But I gave you a head start. I quoted the warnings and say that I would have put my coins in if they were not busy elsewhere atm. So go ahead tag me. Too bad I only saw one of your friends that I could quote.

yay finally 

It is that my coins are working somewhere else otherwise I would have joined
