Re: Switching to Etherum

Hi guys!
It has been a few crazy months for bitcoin and its price. Did that affected your gambling activities? Are you considering switching to for example Etherum?
What do you think is the greatest advantage and disadvantage of bitcoin gambling?

I had switched towards ethereum betting when directbet was working because of high bitcoin fee we had to pay per bet. But right now there is no any such platform so there is no any difference between using ETH or BTC for gambling.

Both ETH and BTC have large swings on price this months.

I agree, it was beginning to be more attractive to use Ethereum to gamble than using bitcoins due to the exorbitant amount of fees we have to pay per transaction (even if we only had one input and one output). Though right now the fees are going down and it is normalizing. I think the attacks on the blockchain has stopped due to the upcoming possible activation of Segwit on August 1.

You will just worry about bitcoin fees when the gambling site you play on are similar to direct bet or secondstrade, all else where there is a deposit and keep the money in the casino kind of thing, then there is no problem. Since in gambling sites where you need to deposit every time you bet, it is absurd to pay so much fees because you have to send money every time you bet.
