So is this a scam or is the team fake? They are two very different allegations. A fake team sure, can show big signs of a scam, but until the penny is taken, there is no scam. You should put "potential" before "scam" if nothing has been stolen, yet.

Useless...Ledger Nano's are a lot safer than Trezors. Trezors are superseded products!

fantastic news! thanks jen

When using any site that involves money, from online shopping, to bitcoin web wallets, to bitcoin gaming, one recurring risk which has been seen is the Man in the Middle Attack (MITM).  This is when an attacker, somewhere between your computer and the website you are accessing, intercepts your connection and impersonates the website you are trying to access.  The MITM attack has been seen on the Tor network, when a malicious exit node will impersonate certain bitcoin sites to try and steal a user's bitcoins when they put their login information into the fake site.  So what is the solution to make sure you are secure?

SSL and HTTPS

SSL is a method of end to end encryption that makes sure the information between your computer and the site you are accessing is unable to be altered in transit.  People using VPN's and the Tor program to access various bitcoin sites are at higher risk due to putting more systems in between your computer and the site you are accessing.  By verifying you are connecting to a domain that begins with https with the lock icon next to it, you can ensure that your connection to the site is not being intercepted.  For further security, you can verify the certificate they are presenting you is a valid certificate.

Do you have autism or some sort of issue?  How does this violate trust in any way?  They changed the rules because it is simply not safe to provide business to the United States, as the US government thinks they have jurisdiction over the entire world and will go after people wherever they are (Kim Dotcom in New Zealand, Bryan Micon, etc).  Bitcoin is not illegal in the United States but the US is still one of the riskiest areas to operate a business in if you aren't willing to pay the bribes for permits, licenses, and regulatory compliance.

Interesting I've been looking around for a sportsbetting site to use.  How does this compare to the others?

Wonder when he'll be back

Comping every loser would put them out of business.  Huff's wins are much greater than AK's... which puts the house down for the month if not the entire year.

I do consulting for a bunch of different bitcoin sites (exchanges/services/gaming) and I am looking to get in touch with some people who are in the Chinese bitcoin community.  A lot of the sites I work for have been asking me questions about this sector and I am a bit out of my area of expertise.  I was wondering if there was anyone who wouldn't mind answering some of my questions or giving me a general idea of whats going on among Chinese bitcoin users.  I am willing to pay/tip for your time.

Incredibly easy and incredibly worthless.  If you managed to get an address that someone had already generated (which is so unlikely it is relatively impossible), it would likely be an address that you yourself had mass generated.

What collateral are you offering?

EDIT:

I'll give you the loan no collateral.

The first idea is nearly useless as it requires people to plan out all their purchases ahead of time, and in effect deprive themselves of the money used to make the purchase before they actually make it.

The second idea is kind of pointless because people may as well already set up this system for their bitcoins, except no one seizes bitcoins by holding them in the other person's address.  Bitcoins are seized by transferring them to your own address.

Some bitcoins/currency will always have to remain at risk as they will be somewhere seizable, but by keeping the bulk of them in cold storage or a brain wallet, you can mitigate the consequences of a seizure scenario.

I don't think he was dumb as lazy.  To maintain anonymity there are a million things you have to do and if you mess just a couple up it can ruin the whole thing.

I would be willing to do this if you PM'ed me a picture of a government ID.  Please let me know if this is amicable.

I bid BTC1.5 

Massive drop as the government functions better than it has all year

Lol who is this guy that was hilarious.  Did anyone get a vid?

This topic is unfortunately very misleading.  If I bet 10 Bitcoins 100 times at 99% win odds, that would be 1,000 Bitcoins wagered.  The amount of Bitcoins wagered is a fine way to compare casinos, but using it as a stat compared to the rest of the economy is 100% wrong.  17% of Bitcoins wagered through Just-Dice in 20 Months is not accurate.

Its a joke about how people here would probably have more faith in someone repaying a loan that they are gambling with than someone taking out a loan to pay off other loans.
