1561  Other / Meta / Re: Default trust is the most important metric here in my opinion. on: September 29, 2020, 01:14:11 PM
My response may be a little bit off-topic but first of all, I want to say that Default Trust shouldn't be the most important metric here! Because Trust is abused and this is the place where we are more likely anonymous. Default Trust and trust scores in overall may give a little bit boost in confidence someone to take first step in trading or trusting something, it's like gambling where chance of win is 90% but you don't know whether that 10% shine or not.

So my question is - how can members improve their trust ratings if there are no business trading opportunities in the forum?
Why do you have to improve trust ratings? It's just numbers and it's easy to fake numbers. Anyone can organize a good plan about how to boost their trust, even with trading. Someone may trade even thousands of USD just for trust score, it's like investment in your trust. But there are other people who have a need of trading and find this place a good one to trade and built trust naturally that they really deserve.

Trust system is dilemma here.
1562  Economy / Gambling / Re: 1xBit.com - Betting, Bitcoin Sportsbook, Casino web-site| ONLINE SPORTS BETTING! on: September 29, 2020, 10:17:59 AM
I havent see the advertisement of 1xbit/1xbet on Barcelona's stadium, but I have seen the advertisement on a sports platform such as flashscore.com This is a powerful scam advertisement as the site can put their banner on so many popular media/forum. I'm wondering why such popular sports media or even a big sports team such as Barcelona is willing to accept the deal from such scammer? It is related to money of course, but Barcelona?? Do they really need the money while on other side they are putting their fans into a big risk?
They have been advertising at Nou Camp for over a year if you are a good watcher of La Liga matches

They also have an advert to plays sometimes on sports TVs. Here is a youtube video of it.


Click on the image to play video

So this can easily fool newbies into joining the gambling platform thinking they are honest.



It was quite surprising for me to see this kind of advertisement from them because what I see is that they are trying to advertise very cheaply. Mostly their advertisements are seen on pirate websites, I mean websites that offer live translations of soccer matches. This kind of places offer great results and lowest prices.
Seems they had to pay decent money in this advertisement but I am amazed why FC Barcelona agreed partnership with them. I don't think it's good to partner with a scam company but at the same time from personal understanding, 1xbit aims to be leader in Russia. Their target is russian community, they are fair with them, I haven't seen any Russian player in Evolution Gaming's tables complaining about 1xbet, no, their blackjack tables are very, very popular and they have a lot of tables.

I think this is a well-organized campaign and that there is a company behind it. 1xbet seems to me to exist longer and be bigger. They would never allow a competitor to adopt almost the same name with the exact same website. Conclusion: 1xbit and 1xbet are from the same owner.
Despite the fact that they deny it, in reality - they are. 1xbet and 1xbit have tables in Evolution Gaming in Tbilisi's studio. I don't want to go into details but they are the same!

1564  Economy / Economics / Re: Internet shutdowns by governments are bad for corporate marketing on: September 28, 2020, 09:16:22 PM
Where are internet shutdowns done by governments? Or in overall in which countries are internet shutdowns common? I don't know to be fair, maybe in Afghanistan and in similar countries but corporate marketing and this kind of business isn't something that shines there.
Btw if we discuss about it, it has it's pros and cons for governments. Pros is that by turning off electricity and internet, you can hide any information from stream you wish but that sounds brutal, right? Especially in 2020 and isn't a thing that can be done easily. Otherwise shutdown of internet for government isn't beneficial. In corporate marketing, it may help some countries to get rid of spending national currency on Facebook, google and other advertising websites but on another hand government may lost solid profit from online stores and from many kind of business that at some point operates online.
1565  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Not your keys, not your Crypto – Kucoin Hacked! $150m Stolen. on: September 28, 2020, 07:51:09 PM
If $150m was hacked, it's probably safe to assume that it's probably their hot wallets that got accessed.

With that said though, let's not come to conclusions immediately and wait for an actual announcement regardless how shady things currently are. But yea, definitely don't leave funds unnecessarily on exchanges.



EDIT: So, it really is their hot wallet lol. At least they're going to cover the lost funds, I guess?

https://www.kucoin.com/news/en-kucoin-security-incident-update
Can you guess what's paradox here? Exchanges suggest you to leave your funds on their websites because it's fast, secure and easy to access but in reality it's fast, insecure and impossible to access. Why? Because funds are usually lost.
Btw they should cover lost funds or at least there should be something that will push them to do that. KYC is implemented like it's sugar candy... KYC documents are hacked, our wallets are hacked, no one is punished? Is this fair? It's legit criminal.
1566  Economy / Gambling / Re: FORTUNEJACK.COM |Deposit 777 play with 1777 mBTC |Live Casino, Slots, Betting on: September 28, 2020, 06:34:39 PM
If FortuneJack is a good and reputable site, why did they choose to moderate the topic themselves on this forum? This usually only happens for 1 reason, to remove comments from people here. Isn't it much better to open a regular topic that is not itself moderable? I think this raises a lot of suspicion (rightly so?)
First of all this thread was created in 2014, six years ago. The reason behind self moderated thread could be to get rid of excessive spam. I wouldn't consider this as a huge problem. First of all we have Loycev's tools that gives you possibility to check deleted posts and then, anyone can open thread in scam accusation / reputation section against any company or a person. Believe me, any thread is seriously taken in sections that I mentioned and if person submits legit arguments / proofs against FJ, it won't be lost or forgotten.

So, no, it doesn't raise any question in this case, especially with FJ. See their trust for more information in their profile.
1567  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: New to signature campaigns, questions. on: September 28, 2020, 06:23:47 PM
Theymos allows signature campaigns on bitcointalk because he lets users to earn some money while posting here, otherwise he wouldn't let it happen and there would be higher value on ads on this forum. It's like here is allowed to post high quality posts and help each other while enjoying the benefits of sig campaign at the same time. But it's not respected when someone posts here just for money and spams on this forum.
Signature campaigns drive traffic on this website and opposite, business gets promoted this way. It's like symbiotic and synergistic relationship.

And about payments, you can check Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns and see payment rates. During bitcointalk's history, chipmixer is the highest paying sig campaign with paid btc / current USD value. Otherwise as far as I remember, Qtum was the highest paying campaign, upto 0.065 BTC / week.
1568  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I can't wait until I can pay using bitcoin at the supermarket on: September 27, 2020, 07:49:01 PM
Btw I don't understand at all what kind of payments users usually mean. If you mean that you'll top up your XAPO balance (for example) and then pay with their card automatically, yeah, it's quick and optimal option but it's very annoying if you plan to go in a supermarket when there are a lot of peoples and queues and then login into your wallet and do payment manually. It will significantly more time if done traditionally but things can be improved if they add an additional screen to show address barcode but again, what happens if user sends with low fee transaction? In this case supermarkets may need a system that will check what's current average tx fee and suggest you a fee to set manually on the screen.
1569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Miami Dade to open Casinos and Restaurants for the third time. on: September 27, 2020, 06:32:09 PM
In my city in the subway all the people are without face masks! And in rush hour this huge number of people have no social distance... And if you believe the statistics, COVID get 200-250 people per day!
That's why I don't think that at the opening of the casino the probability of getting COVID will be more than in the subway!

Even here that is the case. Now it is known to everyone that the younger people are very unlikely to get sick from COVID 19. The mortality rate is less than 1 in 1000 for under-30 age group. That may be one of the reasons why some people are so careless about following the precautions. But even for younger people, it is not 100% safe to roam around like this. The fatality rate may be just 0.1%, but you never know when your luck runs out.
You never know what happens to you even in some seconds, a lot of people die because of unexpected car accidents, something dropped from buildings and etc. Also every medication, even aspirin, ibuprofen has more than 0.1% of sever reaction. When you take care of your teeth with your dentist, there is still possibility that you may experience anaphylaxis during local anesthesia despite the fact that test didn't show any allergic reaction.

It's just that people have to take care of each other, viruses were with us everytime but personally I think we have to be more cautious during winter time. Otherwise people can't limit their life forever.

Subways and transports in overall are the number one threat in this case. If people don't protect recommendations there, then it has 0 idea to protect somewhere else. Personally I spent my summer in a beautiful city on the beach and cmon, no one, nowhere was wearing masks and what's curious? Corona virus infected statistics increased after 1 months. Isn't this curious? Personally I don't believe in these numbers, it's one of the easiest thing to fake them.

And about casinos... This business is something that really cares about things because of it's very high profitability and these places are ones who will seriously protect all guides. There is very strict control on face masks and etc in Evolution Gamings studios. If you just take off mask without a reason, they will left the job.
1570  Other / Meta / Re: Reduced forum activity on: September 27, 2020, 10:34:14 AM
We're certainly very far from the 2017 levels, there's probably fewer bounties and stuff now too to keep people here.
There are more than enough bounties there but they are not enough worthy to join. Very few bounties hit listing nowadays and even if they get listed, the payment is too low. This has been the regular scenerio of bounty since late 2018 which can be a reason of getting activity reduced.
Regarding quality, I think very few people are here with the motivation of learning about bitcoin, crypto, building business on crypto etc. Most people are motivated with the financial gain. That's why there is lack if quality discussion.
Most people are motivated with financial gains because this forum gives you a possibility of that and there are a lot of people from poor countries and find bitcointalk as a great way of earning money, you post from home, manage your time and get money. We can't blame them because forum gives them this possibility and it's a part of freedom too.
 
There is reduces forum activity because it's not 2017 when mining still was a new thing for people and almost everyone was looking for asic miners, GPUs and so on. Also 2017 was the time when bitcoin had unbelievable rise in price and in overall, 2017 was the best and peak time of bitcoin. A lot of things have happened after that like implementation of KYC documents, mining turned into commercial business (check shady behaviors of Bitmain), media doesn't talk about bitcoin and crypto as it was talking in past, a lot of people bought bitcoin during it's peak price and lost a lot of money and lost hope in it. There are still many things to write but I personally really miss 2017 year, it was the greatest time.
1571  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My Question to Crypto users about its security on: September 24, 2020, 10:14:29 PM
Crypto is praised as currency of future, 100% secured way of transaction. my question is how?

-If you have money in bank or invested in stock or somewhere else regulated by government and you dies, bank/stock exchange will contact the nominee when the account goes inactive. but if a person who hold crypto dies, nobody will know about this so the money is lost forever. if the person decides to share the crypto details with someone then its not really a "secured" currency.

-If someone stole money from your bank/stock/credit card account, it can be tracked where the money went and can be recovered by filing complaint with your bank or authorities. but if somone steal your crypto there is no way to get the crypto back.

So how is this a currency of future, did anyone asked these question before?
Btw this question was asked to Ognasty and he said that he had plan about it, would be glad if he posts here too.
Btw crypto wasn't meant for that. Main idea behind it was to get rid of any 3rd party services. It has it's pros and cons like everything. Bitcoin offers control on your funds, what's more secure than this? Bank controls your account, they can freeze it at any time but no one can freeze your bitcoin account so you have to consider this too. Also it offers better anonimity than traditional banking.
I wouldn't blame bitcoin, it's a great thing and invention.

I haven't seen a fully established casino with well designed ANN thread for a long time, welcome to the bitcointalk.
Seems pretty good casino from a first view but why did you choose that domain name? .gg?

You were talking so well on Evolution Gaming I was amazed at some point that I was unable to find NetEnt slots on your website (NetEnt is top slots provider and as for now owned by Evolution Gaming).

Just one suggestion: On smartphones it's very hard to understand where to see games categories as there is only one bar titled Home. If you scroll down, slots are shown endlessly.
1573  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What part will the Lightning Network play in the upcoming bull run? on: September 24, 2020, 06:50:21 PM
Lighting network isn't really adopted by most bitcoin related services companies, including trading websotes and places where there is high volume of transactions. What gives me some hope is that if for example there will be some contract between top exchanges and wallets like free or discounted instant transactions without actual transaction on blockchain (for example you can send btc for free from xapo to xapo and transaction is done inside without actually moving bitcoins). This will help us to decrease number of transactions. At the same time in some places lighting network is implemented... At least we are more prepared in this case if something similar may happen because past experience was terrible and that was one of the reason of creating BCH and etc.
1574  Economy / Economics / Re: Food prices doubled this year on: September 24, 2020, 06:05:05 PM
When i have time i go to local market to check prices

Vegetable prices doubled
Fruit prices doubled
Meat prices around 30% increase
Grain products around 20% increase
...

And my country  is a exporter of food products

How is it in your country ? Same ?


----------------------

My country is Romania

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-10/food-supply-fears-are-growing-as-romania-bans-grain-exports

We tried to ban exports of grain ,but stupid EU intervened...
Happens the same in my country and guess what's even worse here? National currency losts it's value a lot and USD is getting stronger and stronger here while around the world people complain how bad USD will end up becuse of money printing and etc. Paradox, right? And this country is importer of almost everything. Prices are really doubled, snickers/cola become more expensive. Not only that but basic foods are very expensive right now and at the same official amount time min necessary money has declined in this situation.

Usually that's the job of Casino marketing manager / Project campaign manager but if you ask us, the community, then ok, that's great!

It will be great if you add something like free spins on dice (free dice rolls). Idk if you have levels like Bronze, Silver, Gold and etc where there are certain achievements/rank and reward for it but if you don't have, then I suggest to add it. After that, it will be great if for example Bronze user becomes silver and opens chests where he/she gets free 0.0001 btc dice rolls or something similar.

Also it will be good if you offer wagering contests with money prize and free dice rolls like casinos do on slots promotion.

Why are FJ, Bitcasino and 1xbit considered as blockchain gaming platforms? (I mean article included in your last post). What does blockchain gaming platform means? A lot of people use term Blockchain in everything and personally I don't find the idea behind it except to make something look more unique and innovative. And idk how 1xbit had success during lockdown, I amn't in touch with them in other casino products but from personal, job experience, their live casino table is always dead (yeah, they have 1 table in evolution gaming's studio). So, I hugely doubt they succeed + add the fact that they have very bad reputation online. And to be fair, most of gamblers who played on their live tables did this because of the nice looking girl dealers.

Otherwise, wish you good luck. Personally, I would change the theme and make images smaller.

And I really hate when someone says: why do you care about finances? Health is more improtant. For me, it sounds very stupid and dumb. Your wealth defines your health right now. Stucked economics = fall of everything. No work = creating of nothing. Food won't come out of thin air.
Fans must be allowed to be back on stadiums if we want to keep football and if we don't want to lose the possibility of seeing high performance of talented footballers.
1578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Anyone know a dice game that is actually fair? on: September 24, 2020, 03:00:50 PM
Games aren't created and implemented in casino like: Hey, this game sounds pretty good, let's create it. There is math behind every game. Casino isn't a charity or donator to help poor people to make money. It offers services, a place where you can play. Amount of money is your choice, whether it will be some bucks or even lower or serious amount of money. You are an adult who can find difference between 0.001 and 1 usd or bitcoin. You can analyze how much to bet and how much can you afford.

If you can't beat the house it doesn't mean that game isn't actually fair. You can't beat house anyway, only luck can help you.
1579  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should bitcoin be introduced into the educational sectors on: September 24, 2020, 02:29:14 PM
Bitcoin should be introduced in Universities on business and economics faculties, this is very necessary. Even lectors have no idea about cryptocuurrencies or if they have, in 99 cases they say just rumors that they have heard like: crypto is used for money laundering, in black markets and all of the bad stuff is done via bitcoin. When I hear this kind of proposals from people, I have serious debate with them.
So, in universities it must be really included in programs, it's very necessary for upcoming managers, business administrators, economists and etc.

It can be fun by the way, also reminds me April Fools' Day on bitcointalk when everyone gets some unique surprise. It's a good idea for having extra fun but at the same time will turn somebody's brain to think who deserves what among so many members.
Btw what happens if someone doesn't want to wear that Crypto Community Award? Or doesn't want to be even nominated?

But the main problem right now is if theymos implememt the idea here? Or pray o. new forum for new features? He may do this on April Fools' Day, both of it.
