Latest update: All balances you get from rains, free spins will be added to the bonus balance (new feature)
to release the bonus balance you have to wager 20x of the total bonus you get using the main balance
For the bonus/prize you get from the competition, you don't need any wager, this update has been implemented since yesterday.

@Dewi Aries this is a very nice update, but I hope that user’s will remember that they need to wager 20x otherwise we’ll see many user’s complaint here about not getting their bonus money.

This is not a very nice update if you are a player in the blackjack.fun because the old bonus doesn't have any wagering requirements. Winning on the free spin is already very hard for a penny. Adding a 20x wager on that small bonus is almost telling those small players to stop participating on getting that free spin.


It's a trade-off, and a good update for BlackJack.fun to protect itself from multi-accounting if you ask me. Although I agree that 20x wager requirement might be "too much", and BlackJack.fun can always adjust it lower and probably try starting with 5x, then increase it if they see that it doesn't stop spammers/multi-accounters from cheating the casino.

Does the TRX that RoboRain distributes in the chatbox also require us to bet in TRX to get it from the bonus wallet?

Rainbot is also subject to the 20x wager


OK, I believe it should be understandable why BlackJack.fun decided to take that path, plus the rewards from Diggy's hole. Because the real purpose of the bonus is as a "bonus". A user is rewarded for playing, because he will play without the bonus, NOT a user who plays because there's a bonus and would stop playing if there was none. It's a good trade-off in my opinion.

BUT, because BlackJack.fun has currently started to require the 20x wager, should they start to return the hourly, daily, weekly competitions back to what the rewards were before the changes months ago? I believe, yes.

Some casinos solely concentrate on providing a gambling experience and do not want to deal with the burden of creating their own tokens. Because of this, not every casino has a native token yet. I do believe that this trend may continue to spread and that other casinos will introduce their own local coins. Also in contrast to other gambling platforms, which almost always need KYC when a gambler releases a lot on their platform, the owl games platform does not require you to pass it. This is one of its many attractive features.

Casino tokens and the profit-sharing system is something relatively new. I like this kind of casino, and as time is passing we have more similar projects around. I don't think that all casinos will become dividend-based casinos, in the end, profit-sharing is one way of "returning money to players", but some casinos are doing that with bonus drops of many kinds. And I know some people who like that way more than casinos with their tokens.

Many crypto casinos will not ask you for KYC if you are a fair player.


But the system of casino users themselves who are given the opportunity to contribute to the casino's Bitcoins for a share/percentage of the profits is not new. I don't know if Crypto.Games continues to have it today, but users can deposit Bitcoin to the casino, and you can "invest" in the site by letting them use your coins as capital. BlackJack.fun currently has it now as a new feature. It's the same system, but without the token.

Were those U.S. Military personel officially supposed to be in Ukraine when they were killed? Or were those actually U.S. Military? I believe those people were merely "volunteers", and merely civilians. If it was discovered by Russia/Putin that indeed U.S. Military was sent, entered, and was fighting side by side with the Ukrainian Military, then that's a true declaration of WAR.
I break it down in this comment here and there is also an example of US confessing to being involved ever since 2014 posted on US Department of Defense website.

Basically in the think tanks in US they came up with a threshold of how much help they can send Ukraine before things escalate out of hands. That includes weapons (eg. type and range of missiles given to Ukraine) to troops they deploy (covert, NCOs, etc.). That includes the number and type of military personnel that are being deployed in Ukraine. They do it as much as it remains hidden and doesn't escalate the situation while still be involved enough to prolong this proxy war.

The news of US troops being killed fighting in Ukraine sometimes come out in the mainstream media too like [1] and [2].

[1] https://edition.cnn.com/2022/04/28/politics/american-killed-ukraine/index.html
[2] https://edition.cnn.com/2022/10/26/europe/joshua-jones-ukraine-russia-transfer-intl/index.html


I believe Sithara007's post about Putin could be the truth. It could be U.S. Military Personnel/Special Forces who are acting under the guidance of the C.I.A. to help the Ukrainian military. Those 'personnel" don't wear the American flag, nor are they considered in an official deployment/mission. If they get caught by the enemy, the U.S. government will absolutely deny everything, and they will not do anything to help the "personnel". It's "Mission Impossible". Hahaha.
1864  Economy / Gambling / Re: Metaspins.com - Crypto casino - Up to 57% Rakeback Wagerfree on: November 07, 2022, 12:29:22 PM
How does the casino calculate how much in "Rakeback" to give it's users? Let's pretend the user can bet in small games, and bet a total in bets of $50.00 in one day in a game of Live Craps. Where does the casino get its basis for where to get 57% from? It's probably not from the user's total bet of $50.00, because that would be more than $25.00 in rakeback everyday.

Metaspin have kept on improving and always dishing out fresh promotion at all time, and seeing that other members have already suggested several ways that meta spin could increase the level of their image quality for better visibility and. the best promotions. I advise to team do something about that.


Or you as a user/player in the casino itself could help. The BlackJack.fun users have been doing it because of their loyalty. They are loyal because of one very simple feature, where the whales, the admins interact with the plebs. It's the chatbox. All casinos should have one if they want to build a community around the casino.
1865  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Will Russia Emerge As The Next Dominant Superpower on: November 07, 2022, 12:11:41 PM
U.S. Military Personel has entered Ukrainian soil to "inspect" military installations. I believe if any of them was killed caused by the Russian military, then that gives the U.S. military the signal to join the war.

US has always been in this war from day 0 and before that not to mention that so far in the at least a dozen US military personal have been killed inside Ukraine ever since the this war started. US simply can not get more involved than this.


Were those U.S. Military personel officially supposed to be in Ukraine when they were killed? Or were those actually U.S. Military? I believe those people were merely "volunteers", and merely civilians. If it was discovered by Russia/Putin that indeed U.S. Military was sent, entered, and was fighting side by side with the Ukrainian Military, then that's a true declaration of WAR.

If the buy back mechanism from owl token tem worj as planned then that will help to reduce the circulating supply of the token and also increase the value of owl token in the market.

Owl have performed well previously, but owl tokeb have also suffered in terms of price decline and trading volume and the reason for that can be traced to large amount of owl token in circulation and holders offloading them to dump the price.


The real, actual reason is it's because we are in a bear market. Investors in any token, and ANY coin including Bitcoin have sold. Some of them in panic, some of them to take their profit. But I'm very VERY sure everything will surge again, including OWL, once Bitcoin leads and carries the whole market with it, influencing the it with its own surge to six digits. The most important thing for Owl.Games' team is to go through the bear market with a hard-working attitude. The community, the merchants, ALL Bitcoin services are in the bear cycle together, we can get out of it together too.

Good campaign, and congratulations that made Mr. Brightside come out from his underground bunker in the middle of the forest to play in the casino. Hahaha.

That would make voting for the daily and the weekly wagering competitions very easy for us plebs again!

Plus BlackJack.fun, thanks for staying with Diggy for the free spins. He is currently like the official mascot in the chatbox.

Did anyone Buy the DIP, and HODL?

 Cool

I'm probably biased, but I truly believe that Bitcoin has, won the war, and has become the only true Store of Value in the world of cryptocurrencies. It's also probably why I'm more understanding, and less condemning towards altcoin holders/traders. They may outperform Bitcoin in some parts of the bull cycle, but when the surge is over, they come back to the most secure/safest cryptocurrency to HODL.
1870  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: <Bitcoin Creation> Dr. Craig Faketoshi Failed another Satoshi Test Again. on: November 04, 2022, 11:22:46 AM
This is lovely. To me, it seems highly unlikely that Craig is Satoshi, as there are various ways to convince people of it if not prove the identity once and for all, but he did none of that and is often contradicting himself, making things up and pretending to be a very smart guy when he isn't. I sent the thread to my friend who somehow is very confident that Craig is definitely Satoshi, but that it's Craig's incredible arrogance (not complete lack of evidence, lol) that pushes people away so strongly that they refuse to believe that he is Satoshi. Roll Eyes


It's not just "highly unlikely", Craig Wright is DEFINITELY NOT Satoshi, whether or not he's holding the keys, or if he can sign a message right now, he simply DID NOT invent Bitcoin.

I have another tin-foil-hat-on theory. Satoshi Nakamoto is Gavin Andresen, and destroying his own reputation within the Bitcoin community made him "to be the unlikeliest" to be Satoshi, just how the real Satoshi wants it.
1871  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🦉 Owl.games 🦉 Web 3.0 Crypto Casino & Sportsbook - BTC-Metamask-Walletconnect on: November 04, 2022, 11:09:46 AM
Owl.Games admins, do you have any arrangements, or any plans to give out "first deposit" and/or "welcome back" deposit bonuses to encourage both new, and old users to play in the casino? I believe that would help bring more players to gamble in Owl.Games, and bring back those regular players which every casino should attract. Plus small achievable bonuses for plebs like me with little capital for gambling would be welcome. Haha.



Owl.games has a rakeback and bonus level available on there promotion in the casino which a normal play can enjoy. I agree that deposit bonus and welcome bonus is a good promotion but it depends on the requirements to claim it. Some casino requires an insane wagering requirements  that almost impossible to claim that makes this bonuses nonsense. If they can do a bonus that doesn't require insane wagering requirements like Winz.io free spin then this idea is good.

I preferred a daily/weekly tournament that reward multiple user so players will be motivated to play more to earn additional profit aside from the passive income coming from the other casino bonuses.


Yeah I saw that, and it pays in their own OWL token, which the user could also stake to receive more rewards. That's not a bad way to save and gain more capital during the current bear market if you like trading altcoins and tokens, AND perhaps the users can trade them for Bitcoin later to gamble in the casino, or just store and HODL them. Cool


1872  Economy / Services / Re: POKER COURSES FOR SALE on: November 04, 2022, 09:53:54 AM
~ poker is one of those things that become obsolete after some time. Not very quickly, same strategies can work for years, but still after 10-15 years they may stop working. This applies to online poker first of all. You can use some ancient poker strategy playing in your neighborhood, and it will be working forever if your opponents don't use the internet to update their knowledge.


Does that suggest that the "Poker Courses" that OP is selling might be obsolete? Because why would those "masters"  share their secrets, unless they can make more money from selling them than actually using them? It's probably just the same with those unprofitable traders who sell subscriptions to teach plebs how to be "day-traders".

It is very likely that this is the case here. I'm not trying to say that OP is a cheater or something, but I personally wouldn't recommend to anyone  to buy his courses. It's not even about the money you'll spend on them. It's about your head littering with outdated information.


I too am not trying to say that he's a cheater, but I'm afraid that the teachings might just be the very basic way in how to play poker, which could be found in YouTube and other informative poker websites. BUT, the experience he can teach/share will definitely be invaluable, and if he wants to be paid to teach, he must prove that he had the experience, and the experience in actually winning in poker. It might be the same as those "cryptocurrency traders" who ask for a "fee" to "teach" us plebs "how to trade".
1873  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Why did satoshi develop bitcoin in windows? on: November 04, 2022, 08:18:34 AM
This question cannot be answered well with the original author missing.  What can be answered is why you would develop on Windows in 2008 (as apposed to Minix, SCO, Linux, GNU Hurd?).  

Windows has and had:
* The best market penetration.   To get more users of an application you can write it on Windows
* Wide range of development tools and software for development.

Rather than use Microsoft only frameworks, it takes some effort to use portable libraries and frameworks.  These days, Android is the new Windows.


That would be a VERY possible reason why Satoshi decided to build the first implementations of Bitcoin in Windows, IF it was not to do the extra steps to "pretend he's a Windows guy" and hide his real identity. He probably wanted a user-friendly UX/UI and make it more encouraging for ordinary users to run the software. There also was a poker application embedded in the client, no?

Also with market penetration there are a lot more places to go for friendly help then with a lot of other development. Doing a bit of over generalization but when asking for help when compiling stuff on Windows you get help from online discussions and other people. When asking for help when compiling for Linux you get 'didn't you read the docs??? it's right there on page 308'


Actually during 2008 - 2010, I have not known, or discovered a community of Windows Users who were developing open source applications in Windows, that also supported each other. Many among Windows users, it's always the customer goes to the vendor/developer if there are issues.

Quote

Also, with the market penetration Windows stuff just tends to run, with all the flavors of linux out there and the different install options sometimes if you want to give a fully compiled binary it takes more work to make sure it will run it all since you can't be 100% sure what packages were installed, but with Windows you know that every install has certain things.

-Dave


It will "tend" to run in Windows, but I believe not very smoothly especially considering that it's open source software. Plus it's harder to fix in Windows without the help of the developer.

But franky1, it doesn't matter if Craig Wright held Satoshi's keys or not, because even if he did hold Satoshi's keys, he still WOULDN'T BE THE ACTUAL INVENTOR of Bitcoin. It's not about who is holding the keys, because the keys cannot make someone assume another person's actual identity.

I guess that's true, but he could've at least received a good amount of legitimacy(hence more supporters) if he actually had the Satoshi keys and signed a message. But alas, he's all talk because he actually doesn't have the keys.


"Good amount of legitimacy" will be more subjective. I'm absolutely very sure that the Flat-Earthers in Bitcoin Land would celebrate, and continue the long con, BUT what if Carlos Matos of Bitconnect held the keys and signed a message, "proving" he is Satoshi. Would that also receive a good amount of legitimacy? I doubt that person could code the Alphabet.

I believe oil prices will also increase again if Iran's threat to attack Saudi Arabian oil facilities actually become true. They are currently in high alert in the Middle East.
Such an open attack with a pre-warning is highly unlikely in my personal opinion.
It was more like a warning to force Saudi regime to stop its support of terrorism and shut down its London based media outlet that has been organizing terrorism inside Iran.

More likely scenario is going to be an attack on Saudi energy facilities in at least a month from now by Yemenis whom Saudi regime is already at war with. Just like last time when "they" attacked Aramco and reduced Saudi output by more than half Wink


I believe it wasn't a pre-warning. It was actual intelligence reports gathered by U.S. spies/CIA and their Saudi Arabian assets, and possibly Mossad. OR, it's another Saudi Arabian oil price "manipulation scheme" again, planned and worked with bribed CIA agents. They will find different reasons to lower supply/production, and make the price surge back to above $100 again. Cool

He could easily prove it by moving a satoshi.  He chooses not to do so.

no no no
he is not satoshi.. end of story
he does not have the keys end of story

now to explain
he is not and has never had the identity or keys. its not a choice. its a LIE


But franky1, it doesn't matter if Craig Wright held Satoshi's keys or not, because even if he did hold Satoshi's keys, he still WOULDN'T BE THE ACTUAL INVENTOR of Bitcoin. It's not about who is holding the keys, because the keys cannot make someone assume another person's actual identity.

A friend texted my that the German government has given the approval to tear down a Wind Farm to build an expansion for a coal mine. The country's government is distressed in looking for energy alternatives because it's going to be winter, and also to remove their reliance on Russian Gas and/or Oil.

I believe oil prices will also increase again if Iran's threat to attack Saudi Arabian oil facilities actually become true. They are currently in high alert in the Middle East.

Finally, the admin allows to create new account so that I can enjoy the free spin reward for my wager. I just notice that the live game on the evolution gaming is not updated. The new freebet table that is not an infinity table style is not added on the evolution gaming of blackjack.fun. I can play this game on Stake and Duelbits evolution gaming so I think the casino is the one who will add it.

I enjoy playing last night and I hope to play again tonight if my health permits me to play again. Happy spinning and good to be back.


That's good news! It's also good to know that the admins from BlackJack.fun are taking care of their regular users!

Plus, blackjack.fun, has the change of slot-machine on where the free spins will ne rewarded from Dig Dig Digger to Master Joker been changed back to Diggy? Why? I believe Master Joker is a good slot-machine for free spins. It might be harder to win the bigger prizes, but you might get more opportunties to win smaller prizes.
