This pool is a joke.

They send work packages of extremely low difficulty and don't adapt them to any miner's needs. They even don't allow the user to set difficulty.
Some mining software will outright refuse to send work to this pool as the work packages it requests are following a format that's so outdated they won't even recognize it.
Even if you hack a modern miner to send work to this pool, it will be very inneficient.

Also they're not utilizing coinbase2, instead stuffing a ton of trash in coinbase1. So they're likely rejecting many shares by modern hardware because of this.

Honesstly these things were taken care in mining even before ASIC miners existed. Why aren't they up to date with modern standards?

I can't even come to think that a bitcoin developer like Luke Dashjr is actually so incompetent. He must be blocking new hardware knowingly for some reason. Perhaps in his catholic mind it makes BTC more decentralzed in some odd way...? Who knows.

I wonder if Jack Dorsey funding this project is just an imbecile completely unaware of Luke's past antics though. Like, does Jack even know enough about BTC to understand that sending low dif work without ability for users to modify it and not using cb2 is like building a pool on 2010 code quality? Does such a project really need millions in funding? Luke blocking new hardware from mining in the pool is antithetical to the very notion of hosting a pool. Let alone "decentralizing" mining in any way.

tl;dr don't mine there. Luke is still a crazy mofo and the pool is even worse than eligius.

Re: Primedice.com | Since 2013 | Longest Running Crypto Casino | 113 BTC Jackpot!

I faced an issue in Primedice that as of now doesn't allow me to verify bets. But please don't take this as FUD!
Currently on Primedice due to some errors on their side users can't verify bets.

In order to verify your bet you need to reveal the hash by creating a new one and then click on your bet. But right now they have acknowledged that there is an error on their side and users can't see the more info required to verify when clicking on their bets.

From support:

From user chat:

Anyway, just a heads up. Probably and hopefully they'll fix it sooner or later and users will be able to verify their bets. Old and new.

I think wolfbet deleted my account. Has that happened to anyone?
Was this part of TOS? Admitedly I didn't read it but I also didn't do anything wrong with my account.

It is much easier for someone to blame others for their misfortunes than it is to accept their own greed and ignorance as the real cause.
What do you achieve with this mindset? Nothing. Fraud must be acknowledged for there to be any improvement on anything.

Courts knew absolutely nothing about BTC and let Voheeres run with a slap on the wrist fine while no one of the investors became whole.

Shrem served 15 months of his sentence which was for running an unlicensed money transmission business, which Ver did not.
Ver's involvment in these scemes is very well documented. By his own admission, Ver owned stake in Shrem's Bitinstant.com AND coinlab.com. There's no excuse for him not catching charges other that somebody else that somebody else took the fall. He was equally guilty, if not more. He's doing it all over again selling unlicensed securities right now on bitcoin.com (that's another thread on it's own but here's a little sneak peak):


Nearly nobody talks about that stuff but some of the now most prolific investors in the space made their fortune initially scamming the community.

Well god knows what else and how deep the rabithole goes.
What happened to all that Bitcoin Foundation moneyz?
Holy shit, from that alone we could name DOZENS of people that became millionaires by offering NOTHING back to the community.
To begin, Brock Pierce with his initial scam, savegox? You got it...

Erik Voheres made his first bitcoin fortune by defrauding people millions through feedzebirds.
Roger Ver made his first substantial sums of BTC by importing MtGox to the USA and earning substantial fees in the process while the exchange was in fact running bankrupt. The only reason he avoided jail time was because he had anulled his citizenship, while his close partner Charlie Shrem did 2 years simply for running an exchange while on US soil!
Mircea Popescu (now reportedly dead) earned BTC that later became valuer millions in $ through misleading fees and trading junk securities on his own exchange.

Can you name more now millionaires that earned their wealth through scamming people out of their BTC? Ideally originating in this forum.

Great post.
Please make a thread on how Erik Voheeres built his wealth by stealing bitcoins early with Feed Ze Birds.


Also potentially Roger Ver involvment in schemes that made people lose money and potentially lined his pockets (BitInstant, MtGox)...

Re: 101 addresses hold 67.7% of all Dogecoin. This is insane.

It's not too dissimilar for BTC really. top 1% of holders hold like 99% of the BTC in circulation. This is only natural due to funds being held in custodial services. It will get even worse for dogecoin in due time after the bull season I think.

Actually this is only indicative of the liquidity for doge being very thin. The fact that there was no resistance on that day shows how much the volumes are fake on most exchanges and exactly why good exchanges will not list this shitcoin.

Today we saw BNB lose less against the dollar than BTC did even after BNB had gone up so much. This could be alt season or even a bear market. But I'm confident in BSC DeFi will keep buy pressure on for BNB which is nice. So seeing BNB earning against BTC is neat even as everything falls.

With $1000 sure you can trade but it shouldn't be that you go all in on one coin. I'd say go with several and try to watch charts and fundamentals if you have the time. If you don't mind being in front of a monitor and doing some analysis then futures are not bad. For spot trading making money with $1000 can't be very reliable I think.

Seems like 600$ didn't last but at least we might be seeing some support at 500$ levels. This kinda makes sense, too many trades had happened at $300 levels so some retrace is healthy before good news can come again to cause another pump.

Hopefully we will keep seeing support above 500$ levels. The retrace today was kinda big. Ofc it's not unexpected, prices can't keep going up forever. But I hope the momentum will sustain. We've got a flippening to conquer!!!

There was a massive retrace today but only after new all time highs. I really do think that BNB brings some revolutionary solutions tho. Hopefully it'll remain as is and Binance will continue working on improving decentralization. This is really key to success.
