I believe it should be the same way that YOU, or every pleb like me should be responding. Get a job/second job for the next two years in the bear market, minimize your monthly expenses, save most of your salary, and if you can move back to your parents' house/share a house or apartment with a sibling/relative/friend. We should have enough "little soldiers" to deploy to "attack" the next bull market. Cool

so be prepared from now on, not just mentally, but money reserves are really needed.


It's truly the best advice to give currently during the bear cycle. Save everything you can, and look for other sources of income. It's the only true path to readiness for the bull cycle.

Quote

buying and entering the market now is a good option before the bull market strikes.


You can also wait, and enter the market during the ACTUAL bull cycle, especially if you go mentally insane if Bitcoin crashes -50% more from current price.

Quote

But, you have to keep believing in your main goal and will sell when a new ATH is reached. Hold longer and get a lot of profit, but with the condition that you buy more gradually. There will be no loss if you continue to survive and don't sell at a low price.


Everyone has his/her own target. My target is just going higher and higher, making me not sell.

Understandable if we take the casino's viewpoint, but I hope there would be a little more fairness, and give the smaller players a chance to clear the bonus slowly. I hope that the BlackJack.Fun admins consider the suggestion of clearing them per $0.10 at x20 or less wager requirement.

Plus you were also right in your suggestion that there's truly no point for the casino to require the players to clear the bonus from free spins because they were already earned by the players through their wagers. I believe the bonuses that would require clearing would be the free coins given by RoboRain.

I really thought that they are only adding wagering requirements on money that is earned on free spin from chat or other event and not on tournament reward since it’s already double wager requirements for the player but I’m surprised when I saw that winner of daily tournament is asking how to claim is reward Bitcoin. Having a 40x wagering requirements for 100mbtc or more for a whale frustrating too since there’s a chance that they will lose more than the reward balance that they can play.

In the end, the player should keep wagering and participating on tournament in able to keep chasing the pending reward on your bonus.


You're RIGHT, we did already earn whatever bonus that we are awarded from the free spins. I believe it's probably the best for everyone to remove the free spin rewards from the chat box, and only continue with RoboRain rewards. Separating the free spins awarded to chat box users, and from the wagering competitions might be hard/extra work for BlackJack.Fun admins.

How’s your progress on clearing your bonus? What game you are playing?


I might start this week, IF I get some determination and the willingness to lose. Haha.

This is what I'm trying to point out before because it's very hard for a normal user to extend the bank roll just to clear the minimal bonus. I believe you can still clear it little by little by playing casually blackjack since it's the lowest house edge you can get if you play it by the book without any unnecessary decision making. It might take you months if you will play slow and safely but atleast you can still get your bonus overtime. Just think of it like a rakeback or some sort of cashback on your bets.

There still a chance that you can still receive it once they revert back the bonus system since you get it before the bonus was implemented. Try to use the new live support to raise your request.


When I disagreed with you, I actually thought that I wouldn't be encouraged, nor discouraged by the bonus' wagering requirement. But knowing the fact that the bonus is there waiting for me, I tried to play more than my usual time and lost more than my allocated daily budget, and it was more than the bonus. I lost in Craps, then I frustratingly played Dig Dig Digger auto-bets, then left the computer. Cool

It's probably better for me to have the bonus removed, and I have absolutely no bonus than have something waiting that will never be yours. I'll probably play again next week. Hahaha.

Been there and done that already that’s why I’m always not in favor for wagering requirements on bonuses even if it's still x20 or lower because that will give you extra rsik on losing more because you are chasing something on your bets compared if you are just regularly playing without any distraction. I always do claim free spin before on casino with same wagering requirements through deposit bonus but I always end up losing all my bank roll whenever I try to complete the wager requirements.

Wagering requirements is designed to let user play longer and lose on house edge slowly while protecting there bonus to be withdrawn away for them. It's like a bait to catch more money from players so I always avoid this kind of promotion.


Understandable if we take the casino's viewpoint, but I hope there would be a little more fairness, and give the smaller players a chance to clear the bonus slowly. I hope that the BlackJack.Fun admins consider the suggestion of clearing them per $0.10 at x20 or less wager requirement.

Is it possible to stick with free spins on online casinos and still be able to make some good reward?

I am looking into the free side of things, no risk at all with free spins but the question is has anyone ever make something out of free spins before? Something reasonable at?

The last time I earned something free from gambling websites was when BTC has very low value and many faucets still run, that's couple of years back.


I don't know how much is "some good reward" for you, but YES, you can still win with free spins.



That's from playing a slot machine called Dig Dig Digger from BGaming, it's also called Diggy's Narnia, Diggy's Hole bring lotion, or Diggy's Scatter by the BlackJack.Fun community. In that screenshot, Diggy gave me 1.35 mBTC just from free spins. It's not a jackpot of thousands of dollars, but I believe it's good enough considering that it's merely from free spins.
1826  Economy / Gambling / Re: Blackjack.fun | Live tables | Baccarat |Slots| InstantWithraw on: November 18, 2022, 10:52:24 AM
Yeah Wind_FURY I think it's best at this stage to just ignore the bonus. And good idea to always stick to the lowest house edge game if you really want to wager them (house blackjack of course lol ).


Yeah my entire time in the casino is always to play Live Craps from Evolution, and I play a low house edge style, with low volatility, plus I have a budget for my maxmum loss per day, and a timer for my  maximum time of play per day. It's not very bonus-clearing-friendly. Hahaha.

BlackJack.Fun admins, it's probably the best path forward to give smaller players the opportunity to clear their bonus by "clearing" them per $0.10. For x20 wager, every $2.00 wagered, the player receives $0.10.
1827  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What does it take to run a full node? on: November 18, 2022, 08:13:56 AM
The troll assumes that all of the internet connections that will join the network will be very fast, and low latency. He's assuming that the network was designed to be like Netflix, streaming gigabytes of data everyday from their centralized servers. Bitcoin, as designed by the Core developers, is to give as much people as possible to run a node without owning high-end hardware, and without needing access to high-speed bandwidth. It is designed to be ROBUST, with as little attack vectors as possible.

The troll says "my buddies", but who are his buddies? The big blockers? Roger Ver? The people in the New York Agreement who tried to co-opt Bitcoin?

Plus what did the troll say before? That Bitcoin bilaterally split into Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, and starts calling Bitcoin Cash "is the real Bitcoin" because "the white paper"? Roll Eyes

News, memes, and actual data that might be giving plebs like us some indication that's IT'S THE BOTTOM, but continued to be ignored.

1. The same narrative during 2018 and 2019 again that, "Bitcoin/Crypto is dead".




one of the things that woke me up was the news about "Bitcoin is Dead", yes we all know that news like this has appeared every bearish season,


It's not only every bear cycle, but truly declaring "Bitcoin/Crypto is Dead" from mainstream media appears near bottom, or the very bottom of the bear cycle. Everyone should start paying attention, plebs like me can't be wrong all of the time. Hahaha.

If there's a "good season" for DCA, I believe it's the present. Start saving if you don't have the capital to deploy. Find a second job if you have the extra time.

<…>
I believe that the image is actually showing the Minimum Withdrawal amount, not the Withdrawal fee, which on the Bitcoin network is 0.0002 BTCs (3,39 $).

I’ve gone over some of the recent achieved pages on TheWayBackMachine, and at least since May 2022, BTC fees are the same on the Bitcoin Network (no so on other chains):

https://web.archive.org/web/20221113214837/https://www.binance.com/en/fee/cryptoFee
https://web.archive.org/web/20221006095230/https://www.binance.com/en/fee/cryptoFee
https://web.archive.org/web/20220813163621/https://www.binance.com/en/fee/cryptoFee
https://web.archive.org/web/20220512162950/https://www.binance.com/en/fee/cryptoFee

I rechecked Binance website and you're correct. It looks like Binance doesn't show whole column if your browser width is too small and they didn't "freeze" the column name which caused mistake. The actual fee are 0.0002BTC for "Bitcoin" and 0.0005BTC for "BTC(SegWit)". Even so, it's still rather expensive and discriminate towards user who have SegWit address.


Withdrawal fees increases, or decreases in Binance depending on network congestion, and because it is said that Binance is spamming the mempool, causing congestion, I change me opinion. It wouldn't be truly paranoid to say that they're doing it on purpose to stop a bank run. But we don't want another bank run. It's probably good to slow everything down for a few days and stop make everyone calm.

Quote

For each withdrawal, a flat fee is paid by users to cover the transaction costs of moving the cryptocurrency out of their Binance account.

Withdrawals rates are determined by the blockchain network and can fluctuate without notice due to factors such as network congestion.

I see a lot of recent discussion about why wagers aren't happening anymore and I do agree it's mainly because of new requirements and of lowered bonus amounts, etc.

But I stick to my past words as an old player at many different casinos, including here Smiley

It's mainly because of the lack of transparency and communication. Don't take it the wrong way, I still love you guys, but you CAN change the rules, you CAN change things, but you have to inform everyone properly and clearly.

When people are confused about wagering requirements, when people have to find things out by hearing what admin said in chat, when people have to guess what happened to bonuses or rewards, or whatever even, when people are coming to this thread and now sure what's going on, then those are things to fix firstly and foremost.

I really wish you guys well, I logged in and saw the new site, but it's still lacking in a proper explanation on the front page of how things work. I would also highly recommend you update the Investment option to clarify a lot of things. It says it will not be part of casino pool, so it is totally "protected from any kind of danger". How is that possible? In all my years, there is no such thing as risk free Smiley


Coin_trader was right. The wagering requirements of x20, or is it x40, the amount of the bonus is indeed VERY hard for small players like me, and what's the point of winning a big bonus from free spins in Dig Dig Digger if we cannot reach the wagering requirements?

I have a bonus of 1.79 mBTC that I may never clear. That bonus would have been mine before the changes. Can the admins give that away to the active users of the chat box?

Running a full node would have been so easy and a common thing to fo if it had jot been technically and capital intensive, in fact all of us would have been running a full node but we consider those that has a higher value of bitcoin and those that does not mind the cost to be running it at most, but you will need a high speed internet connection, steady power supply, data, storage and the technical acquisitions of connecting the blockchain network entirely, all this are the challenges that makes only but few people to be running a full node but you can also achieve something similar to that without downloading the entire blockchain, just get a hardware wallet or install a cold storage.


It should be mentioned that that's already with design decisions made by the Core developers to preserve anti-fragility, decentralization, and keep hardware requirements as low as possible, while taking the trade-off of accepting moderately larger blocks through Segwit upgrade. Other networks gave them up because they want "speed" now, without care and without a long term vision.
1835  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: November 16, 2022, 08:28:05 AM
It seems to me that we do not necessarily need to devolve into such meaningless (and vacuous) statements such as 1 BTC = 1 BTC in order to attempt to figure out that BTC is the soundest of money that we should be attempting to accumulate.. and at the same time, the dollar is likely to remain quite dominant as a very widely liquid currency for many years to come - but still even having a parallel dollar system and a bitcoin system, hardly seems to justify that any of us should feel that we need to completely remove ourselves from the dollar system, because a lot of goods and services continue to be priced in dollars and will likely continue to be priced in dollars for many years to come - even though BTC is also likely to continue to gain a lot of value relative to the dollar as it already has historically - even though in shorter-term periods, BTC is almost certain to be inevitably volatile against the dollar... though with ongoing longer term likelihoods that the volatility will be towards the upside for bitcoin.

The thing that is still difficult to get rid of at this point is to remove to value every good and service in dollars. Because that is still very much done by everyone in this world (including those who are not familiar with Bitcoin), and I personally also often value things in dollars so that the people I talk to can understand it more easily.

Even though everyone can value something with other currencies that they are familiar with and have also used in life, but it is always rare so that the valuation of goods through the dollar currency always occurs more dominantly in life. And for the parable of 1BTC = 1BTC I think it is better to replace it with 1BTC = ... (its own value) with a clearer understanding and easier for everyone to understand.


Simplify, just use U.S. Dollars, Euros, Yen, Swiss Francs, <Your Currency Here>. It doesn't change the fact that Bitcoin has already won the war in what is truly the Store of Value of all cryptocurrencies. Ethereum? Dogecoin? Other shitcoins? No, they have lost the war.

Plus it's time to pay attention. Be ready to deploy our "soldiers", savings, for the next "war", next bull market. Don't wait for the whales to front-run you. YOU front-run the whales!
1836  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Binance is spamming mempool on: November 16, 2022, 05:53:20 AM

The massive waiting transactions in mempool only occured in less than 24 hours ago. Because yesterday, mempool is very clear and we can move bitcoin with 3 satoshis to 5 satoshis

https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#BTC%20(default%20mempool),24h,weight

Binance (if it is real) did choose a good time to create panic on newbies. They will feel more panic when their transactions need too long time to get a first confirmation. Taking this congestion, I remind people to use an opt-in Replace-by-Fee (RBF) for their transaction. So if their transactions stucked, they can bump the fee.


It's understandable that plebs like us would be more paranoid after the crash of FTX, the owners scamming their own users, but we shouldn't panic. It's just mere coincidence that Binance consolidated their wallets. Why would Binance want to cause another panic? They definitely DON'T want a bank run starting in their own service. It's what the government wants.

Quote

It's either prevention for mass withdrawals, or the community became more paranoid after the second biggest exchange has scammed the community. For me, it's probably just coincidence. But if it's as a prevention for another exchange "bank run", then I believe the result would be a positive, not only for the exchanges, but for the community as well, no? We don't want another crash.

It is not to prevent mass withdrawals. Exchanges already charge very expensive withdrawal fee on users. Their fees are fixed and expensive because they over charge users.

Binance did not reduce or increase their withdrawal fee on Bitcoin. https://www.binance.com/en/fee/cryptoFee


I know.

Following this would be helpful: https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/ and read the full node guide.

Enjoy this also: Connect to full node on Trezor Suite using Electrum server. Especially reading the extra links.


Plus this Medium article/blog/guide in how to actually install, and run a full node for newbies/inexperienced users by StopAndDecrypt. It's the best written guide about the topic in my opinion.

StopAndDecrypt was also accused to be gmaxwell's alt-account by many anti-Bitcoin trolls in Twitter and Reddit because they couldn't win in a technical debate against him. A good person to learn from. Cool

I think that your best chance may be to get the data recovered from the old HDD.


That's not OP's "best chance". It's ONLY chance, and services for recovering lost data from corrupted hard drives is not hard to find anymore.

OP, I don't know about CMAC, or any other application that generates/outputs private keys by using public keys as inputs. If there was such a program that works, the developers would never upload it, but use it to "mine" for Satoshi's wallet's private key.

Jokes aside, personally get the old hard drive, then look for a data recovery service.
1840  Economy / Gambling / Re: Rollbit.com | Crypto's Most Rewarding Casino 👑 on: November 15, 2022, 05:40:26 AM
Yeah there are several accusations against casino involving funds withdrawal issue which needs to be settled at early when possible and the team has responded to the thread so let's see how the conversation further goes on and hope the team is active now to answer the doubts of members.

There are no issues with withdrawing funds. Some players are trying to abuse the system as well as Rollbit and then they come here to rally support for a cause which is false and riddled with lies..


The full freedom to express ourselves that are given to us in the forum can also be abused. Disinformation, gas-lighting, and FUD can be found EVERYWHERE, and from the casino's position, sometimes they can't defend themselves from the hard decisions they need to make to stop the cheating, the exploiting and especially the multi-accounting.

There is a casino here with a very red trust rating, and there was a user here who wasn't defending the casino, but merely said that he had 10 Bitcoins withdrawn, and this user was given a negative trust rating. The user is confirmed by some people in the community to be a real whale in another casino.

With any casino, there’s always going to be users who have different experiences or different feelings regarding a casino which is fine as everyone is entitled to their own views/opinions and should be able to choose what site they play on without any grievance from other users. It only becomes an issue when any negative feelings are used to cause/attempt to cause harm to the casino itself without any proof to back their claims up.

Without speaking on any specific cases, I see rollbit recently replied to an accusation made against them, and so hopefully anything else gets cleared up.


I do feel though that for the most part a lot of the feedback here and in other sources eg:twitter/rollbit discord is positive and the sites growth speaks for itself in the sense of looking at the hot wallets unique ethereum accounts depositing/withdrawing from the site as well as the growth in users wagering via the daily races.


The point is we should also look at some situations from the casino's viewpoint. The owners are running a business, why would they scam their own users if their reputation will be destroyed? I'm not defending any casino, but we should also be responsible in our actions because we might be destroying the reputation of a good business within the forum.

The other point, it's very easy to make a brand new account and accuse the casino. Why hide behind a brand new account to make scam accusations? Why is the accuser hiding? This might open a Pandora's Box for scamming. Or it might happening, and we are unaware.
