It'd be interesting to see some bets/predictions on Lightning Network.  I'm interested more in the probability than actual betting (as I'm not that knowledgible about how it is working).  Questions like

-will the Ligthning Network be hacked?

-will the beta Lightning Network be hacked?  (people are using real money on it while it is in beta or perhaps even alpha)

-when will the Lightning Network come online?


It'd also be interesting to see some bets about Tether.  There are rumors floating around that Tether isn't backed by USD and that they are just being printed.   It's also possible that the US (or other regulators) will shut it down.  Will any of the Tether using exchanges stop using it?  Will any of them go into bankruptcy (of couse this could be due to hacking)?

Both of these factors play a key role in the future of Bitcoin (and its price).

@ndr525 very good idea. Please create the markets via the website and we will try to get a  market maker for it.

[SyGambler]

is there any tutorial video about how to fully use the site ??
I'm still confused about how to use the markets , like how to create a betting event and how can I know if the bet was accepted
this is maybe so nooby question but been using bookies for two years or so but never used an exchange

I'd like to see some Lightning Network markets, I know what I'll be betting on ).

As for Tether and the rumors.. They are just that - rumors. I believe it floated around for a while but the team behind Tether pulled through and came up with evidence proving that they are solid. They are like USD but for crypto people, which is nice to have, to me at least.

...They are just that - rumors. I believe it floated around for a while but the team behind Tether pulled through and came up with evidence proving that they are solid. ...

Could you link the evidence that the Tether team has allegedly provided? I have yet to come
across it after studying the subject extensively.

On the other hand, there are increasing numbers of attempts to expose Tether
as a fraud.

E.g. the release of the following report about Tether yesterday:
http://www.tetherreport.com/

Just one of the highlights:

Tether printing moves the market appreciably; 48.8% of BTC’s price rise in the period studied
occurred in the two-hour periods following the arrival of 91 different Tether grants to the Bitfinex wallet.

I don't have any evidence right now but if you give me a few hours I'm sure I could find it.

For one most exchanges closed their Tether support a way back due to some of these rumors but after a while they resumed the trading as they were briefed with an update that battled the rumors.

If it's about the 'audit', read this

Don't think they're able to back that amount of funds since they don't even have a US banking relationship. Where do they store USD?

You are mixing up two different events. The exchanges had to close their Tether support for a few hours/days,
because of the Tether hack where 30M $ of Tether were stolen. In order to prevent the thief from spending them
for a cryptocurrency of his choice they suspended all deposits and withdrawals until a new version
of OMNI was released that rendered these 30M $ as unspendable.

The temporary measures by the exchanges had nothing to do with the rumors that Tethers are unbacked
and were only related to the Tether hack situation.

Anyway, this is not the Tether discussion thread therefore I´d say that we should continue this
discussion in a new thread or the Bitfinex thread instead of the Fairlay thread.

please if anyone can get me their support email that would be appreciated

[Crypto.Conyo]

If you don't receive any answer here, use the chat/troll box in their website: till now, they've been very useful with me through this channel

I can't access the site at all even the homepage that's why I'm asking here , do they have email support or only through their chat system ??
not sure why this happened but hopefully it's not a new country ban by bitcoin sites

[KTBoundary]

Same thing happen with me. . .

[Crypto.Conyo]

@SyGambler
Sorry, I better read your previous message.
As far as know, Support is only active through the chat system
I left a message asking to reach you, here.

Bets against both markets would be good however there are issues

For example, say you are betting against a Tether collapse. You can instead just short the USDT/USD pair on Kraken on margin and pretty much have a risk free trade.

If it collapses then you get 100% of the profits

If it doesn't collapse then you are out some trading fees and maybe some margin interest.

it's been a long time since I made a withdrawal in Fairlay so forgot how things used to work , do they send a verification email cause I hasn't got one

We hope this issue is resolved. All withdrawals should be instant - though there have been some delays with non-priority withdrawals in the last days.
