41  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH VS BTC on: January 11, 2018, 04:57:54 AM
With use? No. BTC and ETH have different applications. I won't see how Ether would replace BTC technically.
Market cap? Possible. ICOs have been one factor in Ethereum's growth. With more and more ICOs coming and with BTC's technolocigal advancement slowing down, we could see it happen.

Ether is a greater bet than BTC this year. Until BTC fixes all its problems, although ether is undergoing in some scaling issues too, buy it gradually. Stop caring of the price, it has just begun. We can see it's adaption increase by centralized exchanges getting high traffic and closing it's registrations to new users.

most of them are not like the common gambling sites (eg. dice sites) ...
these type of games happen in real time with on chain transactions..
Well, as long as people see they could profit from it, some would always come and visit. Even until now, bitcoin doublers still have traffic from their sites, right?

however there is a good news here. with Lightning Network this can become free (no fees) and instant.
This could be achievable when one plans for a centralized gambling site. If they plan to make a decentralized gambling platform, that could be good. But with the current status of BTC, it couldn't be achieved since they are planning for real-time payments. Until then they can explore coin pairs and create a perpetual swap from those. An example of a perpetual swap would be the BitMEX exchange.

What program do people use to CPU mine?
That would depend on the chain they want to mine. But be careful on downloading alt chain softwares.

I don't know why you're getting a comparative analysis between a company and a digital asset. But of course if you're talking about buying Paypal stocks, then I'd rather get some bitcoin with the 5000 credits you are saying.
46  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Using a stop loss to prevent losses on: January 09, 2018, 04:54:22 PM
If you're talking about bitcoin against the dollar, then this is worth the go. But if your talking about trading alt chains vs. the Satoshi values, it won't be. A mental stop loss would be better in that case. Specially coins with low volume/market cap since market could still be manipulated.

In my opinion, you need to give up mining. This is a senseless waste of resourceful resources. Mining should not be used in the future. 
Resource-wise, you're right. But what the other guy said

PoW is the best way to secure the network.
and, it's not sensless waste, although a lot of energy is consumed for PoW algorithm. This is one of the price we pay to get decentralization.

Made my first million thanks to Dragonchain.. Still holding most of it though. Moved some to VIBE, HAT and MTX.
Congrats man! I never had the chance during the ICO, but I've bought some at EtherDelta when it was just $0.40. Damn I could've bought more if that Electroneum didn't lock my coins.

Winning in the lottery with a big amount of money could possibly help you to leave gambling for good
Wrong. You know, greed is somewhat natural to people. We would always want more.
Quote
we have a big expectation in gambling as we want it to change our life that is why we keep doing it until we become addicted to it.
Right. We go blindly by our goals and want to achieve it fast. Believe me because I was in that lane for a while. Took me a lot of courage and effort to forget about my losses and move on.

What's the purpose of your poll?
51  Economy / Gambling / Re: Will be interesting for you? on: January 09, 2018, 02:54:29 PM
That would be dependent on what options are you willing to offer. And also, if more pairs are more available, that would be awesome too. Even though options have really high risks, I think it's worth the try. And it would be better if you make a mobile app of it.
52  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Problem Gamblers here who are in Debt ? on: January 09, 2018, 01:33:43 PM
When I started learning about BTC back in Feb. I started claiming from faucets. There was one faucet who made my $0.27 into $20 by gambling. I thought it was a good deal and started putting real money on it. Started with $20, $40, $100. I've lost it all. That's where I started asking for loans to recover my losses and long story short, I even lost the rest in gambling. I've lost 0.1 BTC overall. Should be worth something today if I've just kept it. Well, I now only play with my faucet claims, and use my free money in trading. Much lesser gains than gambling, but much lesser risks. And I'm back here trying to get something extra to recuperate my losses.

No, there isn't. You have to check the balance of your account via live blockexplorer. All you need to do is to know your wallet address(not the private key) that says scan/verify. You can use blockchain.info and check your balance from there.

What you can afford to gamble. Invest your money that you should want to spend on a date, movie, anything that you think that it's not a necessity. But a wise man once said "It is not a good financial advice to gamble. But hell, it's good to have a rough ride in your young days."

There are perks in holding the dragons right? I've read it somewhere and somehow I can't find it again. About moving the dragons from wallet to wallet.

Who's shouldering the tx fees? Might buy but not this time, maybe in a couple of months.

For those saying that Electroneum is pure marketing, look at Apple. Just saying. I might be wrong though.
