Legit but accusations? Isn’t it in contrast? Not to invalidate those instances but Stake and other reputable gambling sites won’t still be in such position if things are really problematic.But I respect those who prefers platforms which does not require KYC; we have different tolerance with site rules in the first place and of course it won’t be suggested to players who are up against mentioned procedure.
<...> -snip- However, I had a question, if you take all the millions of gambling players around the world and ask them what percentage would prefer to play anonymously and not go through all these humiliating KYC procedures, but, of course, if the players were sure, that there will be no obstacles from the casino side when withdrawing the money won. I think that 90% of players would prefer to play without KYC. By the way, this is a big problem for the entire gambling industry - the problem of casinos imposing KYC on consumers - players. It is clear that these are legal requirements. But this requirement limits the rights of consumers and after some time, subject to the free development of society, should be abolished. This requirement also violates the human right to privacy, which is guaranteed by the fundamental documents of human rights. That's what I think. It is, as you said, humiliating. There are some reasons why KYC would be justified, even though in most cases it vulnerates the human right to privacy, it's true. For example, it is good to verify that no children have access to gambling (is is now being discussed in my country whether it would be advisable KYC to see porn, with a strong interest followed mainly by the feminists). But not for money laundering, because under suspicion of being guilty, the police can find a criminal without having to impose mandatory identification to every citizen. I still think that there must be a way to probe online that you are an adult without giving away all your personal data. Maybe the blockchain could hold this info cyphered, so anyone could sign a message for example to prove that he is 18+. |

Autor: 1miauHilo original: Why people should be using SegWit addresses
SegWit ( https://en.bitcoinwiki.org/wiki/Segregated_Witness) se presentó hace 4 años (N. del T.: hace algo más, pues este hilo ya tiene un par de años de antigüedad) y una de las principales mejoras de SegWit son los costes más bajos de las transacciones enviadas desde direcciones SegWit. Existen diferentes formatos de dirección para direcciones de Bitcoin. Esto es en parte visible mirando sus prefijos: | Prefijo | Category | Formato | | ________ | __________________________ | _______________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ | | 1… | Dirección Legacy | P2PKH (pagar a hash de clave pública) | | 3… | Dirección Multifirma | P2SH (pagar a script hash) | | ________ | __________________________ | _______________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ | | 3… | Dirección SegWit (nested) | P2WPKH-P2SH (pagar a hash de clave pública de testigo - pagar a script hash) / P2WSH-P2SH (pagar a script hash de testigo - pagar a script hash) | | ________ | __________________________ | _______________________________________________________________________________ _____________________ | | bc1q… | Dirección SegWit (nativa) (bech32) | P2WPKH-bech32 (pagar a hash de clave pública de testigo) / P2WSH-bech32 (pagar a script hash de testigo) | | bc1p… | Dirección Taproot | P2TR-bech32m (pagar a tap root) |
1… Las direcciones que comienzan por 1 son direcciones estándar de Bitcoin y no son nunca SegWit. 3… Las direcciones que comienzan por 3 pueden ser SegWit, pero también pueden ser Direcciones Multifirma. Solo podemos ver si es SegWit tras haber enviado Bitcoin desde la dirección analizando los detalles de la transacción saliente. bc1… Las direcciones que comienzan por bc1q (SegWit nativo) y bc1p (Taproot)… estas direcciones son siempre SegWit. Una explicación sencilla sobre cómo identificar direcciones Segwit la puedes encontrar aquí: BTC addresses starting with "3" what are they ? simplified explanation.
¿SegWit nativo o nested SegWit? Tras leer las líneas precedentes sobre los beneficios de usar direcciones SegWit, puede que te estés preguntando qué diferencias hay entre las direcciones nativas SegWit (bech32, comienzan por bc1q...) / Direcciones Taproot (bech32m, comienzan con bc1p) en comparación con una dirección Segwit "nested" (P2WPKH-P2SH / P2WSH-P2SH, comienza por 3....). Para nosotros es importante saber que usar una dirección SegWit / dirección Taproot tendrá el resultado de unos menores costes en comparación con una dirección Segwit "nested". El ahorro cuando enviamos desde una dirección SegWit nested (3...) en comparación a una dirección legacy normal (1...) es del 26% +. El ahorro cuando enviamos desde una dirección nativa SegWit (3...) (bc1q...) en comparación a una dirección legacy normal (1...) es del 38% +. En función del número de inputs a la dirección, el ahorro es variable, con un mayor número de inputs los ahorros pueden ser incluso mayores en términos porcentuales. Añadido en noviembre de 2022: ahora, las direcciones Taproot (bc1p...), también están disponibles. En términos de ahorro de costes, las direcciones Taproot son igual de efectivas que las direcciones SegWit nativas (bc1q...). Los ahorros en comparación con una dirección legacy normal (1...) son del 38% +. Puedes encontrar un cálculo detallado aquí, gracias a Charles-Tim. Esto es debido a que SegWit nativo y Taproot son técnicamente muy similares, pues SegWit nativo y Taproot son parte del Witness Program (bech32/bech32m).
¿Cuáles son las ventajas adicionales de usar una dirección SegWit? Además de costes de transacción más bajos por tus transacciones, también ayudarás a la red de Bitcoin usando direcciones SegWit, pues más transacciones entrarán en un bloque. Como resultado, Bitcoin puede procesar más transacciones por segundo, lo que beneficia a todos los participantes.
¿Alguna desventaja? Si has usado Bitcoins en algún servicio centralizado y quieres enviarlos a tu propia dirección SegWit bech 32, no es posible, pues el servicio centralizado no reconocerá tu dirección bech32 y denegará el envío como inválido. Esto se debe a que algunas páginas web son lentas llevando a cabo actualizaciones y dichos sitios no aceptan este nuevo formato de dirección bech32. No obstante, esto solo es aplicable a las direcciones bech32, no a las SegWit "nested", que son compatibles en todas partes y más servicios acabarán dando soporte completo a bech32 tarde o temprano. Como mera información, si te preguntas por qué no puedes enviar BTC a una dirección bech32 desde algunos servicios centralizados cuando la transacción es denegada. He aquí una lista donde puedes ver los diferentes formatos de dirección aceptados: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bech32_adoption
Datos interesantes sobre SegWitComo sobre muchas otras cosas en torno a Bitcoin, hay estadísticas valiosas y gráficos sobre SegWit, por ejemplo en transactionfee.info. Entre otras categorías, puedes encontrar el share de transacciones de Bitcoin usando SegWit:  https://transactionfee.info/charts/payments-spending-segwit/Actualmente en torno al 86% (N. del T.: 96% en el momento de escribir estas líneas). Y un resumen sobre los porcentajes de SegWit "nested" y SegWit nativo:  https://transactionfee.info/charts/inputs-types-by-count/Nota: El número total de SegWit nativo (bech32, en morado y azul oscuro) son relativamente bajos en comparación a SegWit nested (azul claro y naranja).
ConclusiónElegir una dirección SegWit bech32 será la mejor decisión a largo plazo y tiene varias ventajas para ti y la red de Bitcoin en general.

Good proposal Gazeta. It would be great because that contest is one of the most important annual events in the forum and, as voting will be open for two months, we have plenty of time to translate it and discuss about the awards in our respective local boards. If no one has any objection, in the next few days I'll add it to the list. Edit: 1miau's Why people should be using SegWit addresses topic translated into Spanish and added to the list, btw  . Edit 2: Given the fact that BlackHatCoiner announced that he left the forum we are updating our OP. Good luck BlackHatCoiner, we'll miss u. |

Ya se han presentado los nuevos Premios de la comunidad de Bitcointalk [Votación de 2023] en el hilo que comentaba más arriba icopress. Csmiami, si fueras tan amable de actualizar el OP. Yo no suelo participar pero este año seguramente lo haré. Tengo que pensarme bien los candidatos y sobre todo que no se me pase la fecha de votar, aunque por lo que veo dan dos meses para hacerlo, lo que no está nada mal. Y el resto también, ¡animaos! |

Pues parece que tenemos regalito de navidad por adelantado y que tras pasar la resistencia de los 40k no rebota y se ha quedado tranquilamente en torno a los 41,5k. Todo sea que no baje en los próximos días/semanas, aunque soy optimista y creo que cruzada esta puerta los 45-50k están a la vuelta de la esquina.
Gracias fM por mantenernos informados en este hilo. Gran trabajo.

It is very unfortunate but I predicted it somehow some time ago, when I refused to get 160$ weekly from a mixer, and stayed with my previous gambling campaign. The last seizure was a clear message.
Regardless what happens with the 2-3 participants you mentioned, thank you Cro2 for the last months in Livecasino: it is always a pleasure to work with managers like you.

En el caso de la campaña en la que estoy apuntado actualmente, ya han avisado que previendo la competencia que va a haber, 2-3 puestos serán ofrecidos a nuevos participantes (creo haber entendido bien, y no que se quedarán con dos o tres de los actuales  ). Todo esto va a tener repercusiones para el foro. No creo que el resto de campañas den como para absorber tanto participante. Crucemos los dedos. |

Sometimes we just have to accept things the way they are. If you were so sure about the game and the money you have in your hand was not enough, you could have either looked for alternatives to make your wager amount high or, when your friend returns the money, you can replace it back (that one can't be regarded as borrowing because you already have the money somewhere).
I wouldn't advice to do that, because he hasn't got the money somewhere, but a third party, and chances are that his friend doesn't repay. I will advise you not to feel too bad about this game because gambling is something that always happens sideways most of the time. You can also think of it the other way: if your friend had given you the money earlier and you happen to stake it all and the game loses what you could have been thinking, or assuming as you stake the $0.88 and the game happens to cut, you will have been putting blams on anyone or rejoicing that you did not use the entire amount to gamble.
Yes, you can't be sure about what could've happened if you behaved otherwise, so better not worry too much about what could it have been and focus in something more productive. |

It is quite possible that when young children see their parents checking out the lottery and hoping that they should go this time and win, this delightful mood of expectation of something good is automatically transferred to the children. And since this happens often, young children also rejoice in this mood of their parents. And so, as children gradually grow up, they themselves begin to feel such good experiences when they become older. And of course they also continue to buy lottery tickets.
I think this happens in most families where at least one parent, father, mother or, for example, grandfather regularly buys lottery tickets.
The experience in childhood of seeing their parents check the lottery will make them try to buy the lottery when they are older and they will continue to try when they have not managed to win any prizes. It may be a trivial thing but it can provide experience about gambling to young children who follow what their parents do in buying the lottery. And when people buy lotteries, it may be a normal thing in some places, especially if more people buy lotteries too, so when there are grown-up children buying lotteries, that is no longer something new. However, those who frequently buy lottery tickets should be able to allocate a certain amount of money so as not to disrupt their finances. I can relate to that story, since my father used to buy a lottery ticket in the way back home from school. He liked to explain me which were his favorite numbers, and how much was the price in things that I could understand, and dreaming about the dear life we would live if we were lucky. In the present I play from time to time but I think that I'm not following the ritual as I don't have the need to do it every week, and I don't enjoy it as much as him. So seeing the parents play have an effect in the children, but that effect will be different according to different variables also. |

I'm very sorry OP, your case was very common in Spain a few years ago when my interest in Bitcoin started, so the first thing I did was to ask my bank if there would be any problem with that.
In your case, I agree that your best option is to change your bank, and about the money, I guess that you'll have to wait a little bit to recover it but that it will be solved soon, so don't desperate.

Big game tonight for Barcelona as they face Atletico Madrid which many considers as the killer of big teams.Barcelona has a very nice odd for tonight game at 2 but it won't be easy for them this time and I fully agree with the bookies with this big odd for Barcelona,I personally have bet on them but I am not that convinced at all.
Barcelona must win this match if they want to get close to Real Madrid and Girona, if they only get 1 point then it is a loss for Barcelona because this is a home match and also an opportunity to improve their ranking and shift Atletico in third place, but Barcelona often does not perform as expected so this it won't be easy for Barcelona. It's normal that you have doubts about your bet swogerino, the outcome of a match between Barça and Atlético is most of the times hard to forecast. I hope you good luck. The good thing for the team who wins will be that he will have already cleared a hard rival for the rest of the season, which I'm not sure is the case of Madrid or Girona, and could be beneficial in the future to get sure paints against easy teams while the mentioned struggle with harder games. |

Gambling is for those who want to entertain putting some money at stake, and to do that you don't necessarily need to be rich nor lucky.
In fact, if you were rich, you should put at stake much more money in order to feel the same thrill, and if you were always lucky, which is not possible btw, then where would the excitement be? I think that gambling is for any person over 18 or the legal age in his/her jurisdiction, who have some money that they can afford to lose, and are aware of the risks implied. Any if he/she pays taxes, then chapeau!

In my case I have never had any episode of gambling in an addictive way. Although I have some interest in the mechanisms of gambling, the act of gambling itself doesn't excite me as much as to get into trouble.
When I was a very little child, a friend of mine gave me as a present a lot of cards of which I had just a few and, a few days later, I played with two boys and lost almost all. It was a very bitter sensation and I recall it somehow when I gamble. I heard sometime that it is not necessarily good to be lucky the first time you play, because it can lead to look for this sensation over and over. In my case, it seems that it happened all the contrary.

I also think that way. The case of a member who starts behaving poorly in the forum when he/she gets a high rank wouldn't be the norm, imo, but the exception. As you said, once you have more to lose, you are more careful too.
Totally. What happens is that these exceptional cases are more scandalous, more striking, and those of us who have made it to Legendary, have been on the forum for years and comply with the rules are part of the routine. Who is more conspicuous, a profile like mine or yogg's? Totally. In my years in the forum I have witnessed many cases of members who made a real effort to rank up from zero, and try their best in every of their comments. But rotten apple's aren't exclusive from bitcointalk, so there are some individuals who have more salience, even when they are a minority. |

I just want to do my bit in this topic, and I congratulate the management got the decision made, which shouldn't have been easy. Recent developments advised to be cautious and maintaining this historic agora is a responsibility that deserves to be given good attention. And there is a lot to lose because of greed or simple laissez faire approach when it has been proven than criminals are taking advantage of the situation.
So recently I was quite afraid to log in one day and find that the forum has been shut down, but after this decision I'm more confident in the future of our beloved bitcointalk.

In our daily life, the older you are, the more careful you must be. As a teenager, you do things that you might be ashamed of at the age of 40. In a job, the novice employee is enthusiastic about making changes, but he will follow the same old approach when he reaches management, especially if he is 40 years old or older. Therefore, the higher the account rank, this means that The account has become more valuable and therefore the user will be wary of being banned because it means that all the effort made to make the account better has been transformed with just one click into nothing.
I also think that way. The case of a member who starts behaving poorly in the forum when he/she gets a high rank wouldn't be the norm, imo, but the exception. As you said, once you have more to lose, you are more careful too. There are a few cases that seem to be kamikaze, yes, and some OGs that seem to have lost their way and behave as if they were omniscient or worse, and we can fill many pages here talking about these guys, but imo that's not something generalized for most members, as I said. |

Me ha sorprendido ver el mensaje en News al entrar hoy en el foro, aunque llevamos ya una temporada de sustos que hacía pensar que tarde o temprano veríamos novedades; y prefiero mil veces esta novedad, que encontrarme un buen día un mensaje del tipo "this website has been seized...".
Creo que es la decisión correcta por parte de la administración del foro y que de esta manera, lavados de conciencia aparte, se asegura de alguna manera la continuidad de este sitio.
Como reto a corto plazo queda ver cómo se va a reorganizar a tanta gente que está en campañas de mixers que se van a quedar huérfanos de firma. Espero que en las campañas que sobrevivan se dé preferencia a los participantes actuales, aunque con la competencia que se puede generar eso es algo que todavía está por ver.

Slot games are part of the games which have a negative expected value. It is easy to start playing and takes no skills from your part.
The games are attractive by its colours, animation and sounds which feeds the gambler's mind with good emotions and a sens of winning when actually they are losing money on every spin.
Once a while those specials will roll in, but by the time that happens the player would have already lost a lot.
Visit the land based casinos in Vegas and you will find people stuck on slot machines for days with nothing but losses playing like zombies.
That's my opinion too, and I don't like slots too much either: I prefer the games that make me feel a (sometimes false) sense of control and with slots I lose it in the first spin. I'm putting my future in odd's hands, or worse, algorithm's (if an algorithm had hands). To be honest, one of my colleagues mentioned migraine and that's what I feel with slots. Maybe it's not so much about control, but about all these sounds and movements: I still like crash, dice and specially bingo, and you don't have much control there either, so I guess that likability towards one or another game is the sum of different prejudices and sensations, apart from cold reasoning and study of probability. |

Do you ever feel like that being after saving or investing for future you forget to live in the present? You don't buy the things you want to or don't go after experiences you want because you'd rather save/invest for future instead.
That's something very intimately linked to personality. There are very impulsive people who aren't capable of saving the most basic percentage of their income just in case, and those who find it difficult to waste in nonsense the money they got thanks to their hard work. My two best friends are like that: one cannot resist the temptation (whatever it is) and the other one doesn't even have a coffee when we hang out together. So, knowing well the two extremes, I'm well aware that the virtue is in the balance, like Aristotle would've said. One should save for the future while he's got the tailwind, but not to the extent to sacrifice the present for a future that we take for granted but is not sure. |

Against all odds, I'm glad to see that other members are taking your sincerity well (the usual answers differ and tend to focus on the fact that newbies should learn first of all and only when they have good knowledge and developed skills can start making money.
As I only see 1 post in your history, it is too early to start making money for you, but take some time to discover different boards in the forum, get used to it and keep writing to engage interesting discussions and increase your activity while you learn, and you'll be on track. Good luck and I hope you enjoy the journey.
