A supply that actually makes sense with the use case that the project wants to present. I certainly don't see any advantage to investing in a project that has a seemingly infinite number of coins at its release with no plans to balance it out according to their project plans. A big token supply can actually be understandable if the mechanics for it being burned (or something similar) is rather big as well, it's just like any regular good project, just scaled up in terms of token numbers.

This is just an assumption though, it's nothing concrete since it's we only have your word for it (and people would be rather dumb if they took the words of an internet stranger as a fact immediately). Honestly though I don't know why you'd bet on Virtual sports, they're basically a simulation and there's nothing really fun about it AND you can't exactly help but assume of manipulation (we'll never know though tbf) since as I said, it's just a simulation.

Can't exactly say whether I've experienced manipulation in virtual bets, on some matches yes, local ones, but other than those then not really.

Gambling itself technically has no problem, the legitimacy of casinos is another thing as you said though. It's a rather simple way to set it up though, just let the AI store a database (possible now in ChatGPT with it's plugins feature) of validated gambling casinos (possibly made by legal authorities for better validity). Other than for security purposes though, maybe proper levels of self-exclusion? That would require each casino to setup an AI though, possibly helping in detection of computers that are being used by the same user if possible.

Pfft, well that was quick. Kinda funny how the man himself admitted to other pastors pretty much just doing fake religious stuff. I must say that the stuff about how he got a notif that made him proceed to gamble is kind of like a coverup story to make it seem all accidental or coincidental, sounds bs to me ngl.
Absolutely not. The thing that differs between me to the pastor in question is that I absolutely love what I do. Heck, I'm even learning other stuff that I really like, and no amount of money is going to stop me from learning/doing what I love. It actually opens up a lot more opportunities to learn imo.

Here to revive this place, ChatGPT just recently released initial support for ChatGPT plugins. TLDR of this is that it enables the AI to access the internet and search for live data, compared to it's previous model where it was stuck on data before 2021. Watched a code report about it and saw it was also able to store company data to a database, and ChatGPT can basically answer questions about it via accessing said database.

Just with these two capabilities, I reckon it's possible for it to store data across all professional players of a certain sport, assess reports for each individual player, and pretty much reveal statistical data about them, making it a LOT easier for people to understand who is better and what actually makes them better. Now, this may NOT exactly help in making 100% accurate predictions BUT it does open up a lot in terms of basic understanding of teams in a much more easy-to-understand way, but this time, backed with data, and a lot of it.

On a side note, Microsoft recently released a paper about how GPT-4 is also able to be "like" humans, didn't really bother reading it through but for anyone curious, the paper's title is "Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence: Early experiments with GPT-4"

I hardly think it matters much in the short term, fiat would still be the primarily used payment method by the majority of businesses so no matter how much we hate its model or how weak it is in comparison to Bitcoin, we'd still use it for a lot of payments and whatnot. In comparison, if you don't mind the volatility and just want to stay away from banks, you can move the majority of your funds to Bitcoin and store it in a wallet. The majority is because as I said, a lot of payments would still involve fiat, so it's necessary to keep some for immediate use.

I'd welcome businesses accepting Bitcoin anytime though.

Don't universities themselves have student loans? I reckon it's just a matter of a lot of paperwork and you'd be able to apply for one. I'd honestly doubt you can find one here since I reckon it's be a pretty big loan, most of the lenders here would probably require collateral or outright not give it.

Plus, I don't think borrowing Bitcoin for a long period of time is good due to how volatile it is, especially if we consider how you're borrowing it as a student loan, which (afaik) only gets paid when you graduate and get work.

The most easiest way would probably be a payment processor, just hire someone with the know hows of you don't know how to do it or if you're not confident of implementing it.

The other way would be QR code, simple a f as well to setup, just post it at the counter.

Additionally, You can even setup a way for receipt to process once payment is received or is being confirmed, or some other way that can make checking less of a hassle. You might need some IT help there though.

Technically we're always cheated by casinos (and we willingly agree to it though) with their house edge but the issue seems to be another thing here. I wouldn't call it an issue though, you just got unlucky simple as that. If you want to go nitty gritty about the details, small amounts of bets basically increase the number of games you can play, which also spreads out the chances of you winning and losing more compared to one big win. I mean, in cases of a 100 matches with a 50/50 chance, if you lost the first but won the rest, then that's good right? But what if you bet big and lost everything on the first one? It's simple logic like that. Wouldn't call it a cheat, just how it goes when it comes to luck.

It's simply fiat, so I don't think theres any reason why it wouldn't be used in gambling. Especially if you consider how the government would have transparency woth regards to which money comes in from where in every gambling business. I doubt crypto casinos would implement it though, unless required by the governing body over them. It technically isn't crypto after all, it's just digital fiat.

They're both kinds of used in the table/card games, luck gives you the cards you can use to play while skill decides whether or not to continue the play with the cards you got. You can technically wait till you get a good card in poker and play aggressively with that and that would make poker a game purely based on skill, but because of bluffing, where you have a weak hand and still play like a madman, it would involve a certain level of skill (based on decision making that is).

And slots are well, slots. I don't think there's anything to talk about it.

Don't projects simply ask for exchanges to list their tokens? It'd depend from exchange to exchange on how they'd accept them, like requirements, documents, and whatnot. Kinda similar to how you'd officially apply a business to the regulatory group in that area. Pretty sure you can simply look up an exchange and their FAQs page about it to find out the specifics, but they'd probably be quite similar for the most part. Except for well, exchanges that just accept any token (idk if they exist, but there's probably a handful of them out there).

I think that's something natural, the world we live in is a place full of regulations after all. A place without one would probably be just a barbaric place where strength rules all (with some scheming behind it, but mostly strength). The thing is a centralized and regulated system is supposed to make the lives of those who use it easier and safer, but instead the opposite happens, or somehow an alternate focus of those who implement the system is added, which makes it detrimental to the users when it can exist without those "add-ons".

In Bitcoin's case, I reckon most of those who use it simply just want to stay away from banks and all their bs. Simple as that.

Uhh I don't think the medium here matters really, chips or crypto, you can easily convert them to whatever you can immediately use no matter the time. Chips need to be exchanged after leaving the casino so I don't exactly see how it's an issue. If you're gonna argue that crypto is money while chips are only a representation of money then really, the feeling of "satisfaction" only happens when you physically touch money imo, crypto doesn't do that, and I reckon chips are closer to achieving that than crypto.

As for the other two, I'd say I agree with those, though I reckon no KYC is slowly disappearing already from online casinos, a lot of famous ones already require it after all. As for Volatility, well, that's just how it is with crypto.

I see absolutely no reason why we should send the funds to you. Might as well have said to give you free money really. I honestly agree, it is indeed a half-baked idea and was probably something you thought up of while you just woke up or drunk. Even escrow wouldn't help establish trust in an idea like this. If you really wanted something like this try it with your friends, if you have any. They might be more willing to partake in your idea since they know you, but on the internet on a public forum like this? Good luck getting even one.

I think the only help most (if not all) of us here can give you is tips and advice with regards to how to manage your wallet (and whatever you store it in) to avoid being hacked. I'd advise having a laptop you'd only ever use for transactions and whatnot so as to avoid instances like this, where even if you do get hacked, it'd only affect your regularly used system which you don't let your wallet access. You can try maybe asking for exchanges to blacklist said wallet so related coins to it wouldn't or can't get sold (idk if they'd accept it or not though).

The only person who can probably help you ever really is the person who hacked your wallet themselves.

I think that's a different kind of bet. It's not really something us people who gamble in casinos are doing exactly, those bets of theirs undergo a lot of thorough decision making and even if they are unsure of what the result would be, it isn't exactly a result that ONLY relies on luck, it relies on a lot of other factors together with said luck. You can never relate or use whatever techniques people use to form successful businesses in gambling, heck, I don't think gambling even enters the picture when thinking of building a business. That's a pretty narrow point and way of seeing things imo.

I also wouldn't really call it "dark", it's a secret yes, but I reckon some of them don't have that kind of darkness, at least in the early parts of their business career.

Not really that strange if you consider it, I and my friends bet on a night trip to a graveyard near us, we (or others not in the game) set up some stuff early on and whoever got it first had to pass it to the person standing guard outside. We did it in the middle of the night and boy was it dark, bloody place did not have lamp posts (or even if they did, it wasn't exactly on then). We bet around $30 each, it was kind of like the stuff we were supposed to get meant how much we would get each, I got around $70 iirc since there were quite a few of us.

I don't really think it's simply because of covid, I think anything that has relation to "gambling" would require KYC simply because it's a place people can go for money laundering activities, as well as the simple fact that gambling itself has laws regulating it (such as 18 years old and above), and to properly document it as such, they'd need legal documents that indicate how old a user is.

I think them asking for KYC only on big wins is a marketing strategy, I mean the idea of KYC is totally outside of the users mind during registration since they weren't asked, so they'll just proceed as usual but when winning big or withdrawing, they'd suddenly ask of that and at that point, some (if not most) users would probably have the mindset of "might as well do it since I'm already here", which would retain them as users of said casino. There's also considering the fact that KYC at registration simply damages the casinos capability to attract user base since they probably know themselves how people hate KYC.

ofc they'll bloody embrace it, it's pretty much the replacement for fiat. I hardly doubt people who are less technologically knowledgeable would go out of their way to suddenly learn about the possible currencies they can use when the government has a replacement for the one they removed (or will remove). It wouldn't generally be different from what most people use right now afaik, just that it's digitalized and cash flow is much more easily observed/seen by the government (or the public if it was publicized)
