Oh shit, really?  I just sent a small XMR transaction from one of my wallets to another.  Is that gonna be any problem?  Wasn't aware if there's a moratorium on TX while upgrade runs?  Or...?

Well it's only like twenty bucks worth anyway so no big deal if so.  Fingers crossed I guess LOL

Fluffy Pony?

(grinning, ducking, running very fast...)  LOL    

Hm. Well. Dunno guys.  WellWellWell.

WTF to think.

I guess I don't have much to chime in here really on this latest 'spec' talk but wanted to say, SOMETHING, just 'cuz I am still lurking here, still reading and FWIW I guess even "quiet" I am *still* one of the OG crew around this thread from 'way back in the day.

But, honest injun' time? (yah dats raycisss!)

I am still totally "OUT" of nearly ALL crypto hodling, after the collapse I endured just before the Crypto Winter hit.  It's still all gone.  I have bought back a little here and there and yeah I still actually USE crypto from time to time for buying things, including Monero (and btc and bch and, that's pretty much it.)

But... so?

What to say from this 'weird' perspective I have now?  All I can think of to say, is... CRYPTO. STILL. WORKS.

You can BUY shit on the internet with it. 
You can SEND it to anyone, anywhere, for cheap and with no permission. 
IT WORKS. 
It never STOPPED working (except for BTC, kinda).

SO?  all this shitty price action?  Maybe, just maybe, it might mean that I may have a chance still (some day somehow?) to buy back all of the 1,000 XMR that I actually once HELD, way back in the day when the damn things were fucking FIVE CENTS APIECE??

Yah.  No.  Yah I know that's never gonna happen LOL

But maybe I will re-own again some day, at least a couple hundred coins, again?  Maybe. 

A guy can dream, right?  LOL

Y'all do me a solid, will ya?  Favor?  Just let me know WHEN is really the 'ahem' Right.Time 'ahem' to GET BACK IN!  lolz

Aha... okay thanks, for info anyway.  Dunno WTF to think about all this.  Same old same old I guess, i.e. "fucking POLO"

Oh, and... clams?  srsly?  LOL.  Just LOL, on clams. 

Anyone fucking around with 'clams' and gets burned, wow big surprise there. Not.

Still doesn't excuse shit that goes down against people from GS etc, polo is still fucking POLO but... clams.  LOL.

Heh, umm actually kinda sorta seems to me that asking for info from well-established long-time forum members on sites like this, about shit that's happened in crypto space... IS doin' his own research due diligence study background etc etc, ain't it?

Just sayin'... lol

P.S. I'd like to know too about this clams-raid whatever happened?  Fuckin' Polo is no love lost on me either over the time, fuck those fuckers but still what's it about exactly?  I hadn't heard anything on it either.

Wait, what? 

Srsly are you asking if SMOOTH, is... "new" here?  Smooth??  LOLz

Thanks for posting that link again Febo... good material, reference source info to keep on hand etc.

Jesus WHY in GOD'S name have I not EVER yet been to a DEFCON?

I was actually gonna GO this year finally, but then... still didn't.  Why?  WTF is wrong with me?  LOL

Gonna go NEXT YEAR FOR SURE!  Mark my words.  Yeah.  Who's with me..........? ? ? ?  Aaaaaaahhhh ........

I always kind of thought "Thankful For Today" meant Hal Finney, being as how he was dying and knew he'd not have many more "todays" left.

Hal being the force behind TfT wouldn't surprise me too much even without this "pointer" to it being him.

Or, maybe not.  Who knows.

Just a dumb random speculation ima throwin' out here on the thread today just so's you guyz knowz ima still hangin' around herez ;-)

Yeah, that and for Aminorex to come back and start posting more 'brilliance' regularly, LOL

Wait. What?

Seized Monero?  From Polo...?  "They"?

Something happen or what U mean?  Some darknet market news I missed?  Wot?

LOL at the "Wish Ida" posts from noobs.

Here's one for ya:

"I Wish I'd Have Just KEPT a TON of the Monero I thought I'd Just "Hold" From 'Way Back When They Were Fucking FIVE CENTS Apiece"

Fucking put THAT in your pipe and smoke it, young padawan!  Cripes.

LOL  

{Edit}

P.S. Tone Vays.  LOL.  Just... LOL

Patrick sent me email this morning with a link to a new account holding some credits, but on the main BVC site for BTC rather than Dash version.

I figured I owed them at least a little play for the COMP... so decided I'd just basically flat-bet until I got ONE blackjack, then withdraw wherever I was at that point, "win or lose".

Also kinda did not want to play with the comp in the "high limit room" (i.e. most expensive BTC) rather convert to Dash or BCH to have more chips later.

ANYWAY... all's well that ends well.

BVC management *did* finally come thru in the end and I suppose my FAITH in this GAME is at least partially restored.

But, comment above talking about "never" lose hope and etc is still a little misplaced.  Things online and esp. in crypto world are always changing.

BVC and related sites HAS been around a long time and they DO "always" come thru, apparently, but that doesn't mean we-players should not still be VIGILANT.

I'd still like to see some "official statement" from BVC management about WHAT'S really changed last few years, why these problems started to happen more, what they plan to CHANGE or IMPROVE soon to help ensure they NEVER happen again!

So YES, thanks again for the COMP.  But.... let's hear it, and also ideas from PLAYERS what needs to be done to make these sites really the BEST gaming destination on the 'net, after all...?

OK - THEY FIXED IT... FINALLY

I was out late last night and noticed when I got home the DASH was credited on my game.

So, played a few hands of blackjack (just for the fuck of it LOL) and -- fingers crossed -- hit the 'withdraw' button.

Coins came back to my exchange account successfully.

So, again...

THEY FIXED IT... THANKS

-----

Thank you to Patrick and crew for *NOT* pulling an exit scam here after all, again "coming thru" like the good old-time BVC site we all expect.

Patrick also told me in email that some "COMP" for the trouble will be forthcoming, soon.  

Exactly what or "how much" that'll be, is not clear yet but I will update this thread with info if/when that happens.

OMG this, this a thousand times THIS.

This is the one thing I've SAID to a million people (seems like) over the last 4-5 years that's really ALL that matters.

Hard to see the forest for the trees but, man, THIS is "forest" absolutely.

Keep in mind, everyone.  Especially noobs here reading.  This is what matters.

Just "for the record" here's a screen capture of this game, new account I made, with that Dash address...

Still showing NOTHING... getting close now to 24 hours later... tick tock...

SMALL 'update'... I got a reply by email from Patrick just now, and also a ping on a PM here to BVC admin.

So for what it's worth they have "replied" now, and are "working on it" apparently BUT still my game shows no deposit.

SO... still waiting.  We will see.

I expect (hope?) that they WILL still FIX THIS (yet again) and apologize for the trouble, and I won't (hope?) actually lose any coin...

But all considered anyway it IS just fucking ridiculous that this kind of shit KEEPS happening.  BVC and related sites WAS a GREAT site in the past, but now honestly I cannot fathom just exactly what the fuck is really going on with all of it.

Oh, for FUCKS sake... when will I learn?

After last time here when I swore I'd never be back after BVC management totally dropped the ball... yesterday I came back again.

Tried to TRUST they'd fixed the problems and I could play a few blackjack hands, quick and easy, with some DASH on their site.

But, no.

Sent DASH in to a new account... and... NOTHING.  No dash credited now and I waited OVER NIGHT.

Transaction is confirmed a LONG time ago, on Dash blockchain:

https://explorer.dash.org/address/XcBc86JNvSpgbD8RUFFmGGTDrnmNFSxXkP

But... NOTHING in the game.  Just blank.

Also I emailed admin at dashvideocasino last night after a few HOURS had already passed.

But now, again, overnight and NO REPLY.

When oh WHEN will I learn to fucking FINALLY just GIVE UP on this stupid game site that's CLEARLY GOING DOWN THE SHIT HOLE???

-----

ADMIN!!!  ANSWER ME IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS HERE, AT LEAST, AND MAYBE I CAN BE SALVAGED AS A CUSTOMER?

AND MAYBE YOU CAN RE-ASSURE HERE IN PUBLIC AGAIN AND SALVAGE YOUR REPUTATION!?

CREDIT MY DASH TO MY GAME ACCOUNT OR SEND IT BACK TO ME, IMMEDIATELY!!?

-----




Admin has not even BEEN here in their own support thread, IN OVER 18 DAYS??

WTF IS GOING ON??

 

Well no I'm speculating "in general" about "crypto in general" over the mid-to-longterm future.

No idea as of yet about SPECIFIC coins (even tho this IS the monero forum and I still *DO* believe in HoneyPony!)

But overall what I mean about this is just the overall general trend since Satoshi first launched the original BTC blockchain.

no value to a penny (10x)
penny to a dime (10x)
dime to a dollar (10x)
dollar to $10 (10x)
$10 to $100 (10x)
$100 to $1000 (10x) <--- my first rodeo LOL
$1000 to $20,000 <--- my second rodeo but the one I fucked up BOTH of 'em after... doh!
And, BTW, which IMHO was a double-overshoot: should've peaked about HALF of last cycle!
Too much hype/manipulation more than usual?? Maybe 'cuz of fucking Tether???

So... "you-are-here" now...?

And, Future?

SOMETHING... some coin... maybe BTC? Maybe NOT?  Will "retake" $10,000??

Then...

$10,000 to $100,000 <--- my THIRD rodeo, which I hope *this time*...?  I won't fuck it all up!!!!

And maybe finally...?

$100,000 to the mythical $1 Million Per Coin, global adoption and use by everyone, transactions priced in 0.00000001 satoshi-as-penny usage.

That final one IF and WHEN it can ever happen, would be my FOURTH rodeo here so hopefully by then fully experienced and knowledgable enough to really NOT FUCK IT UP by the time the Fat Lady really finally SINGS.

Again as for IF this will be "BTC" or not, or XMR, or BCH (don't shoot me!) or something ELSE totally unexpected out of left field?  Who Da Fuck KNOWS???

Hey fellas... how'z it hangin'? 

I been "away" awhile, again.  Still "OUT" mostly.  Long ago even before the 'crypto winter' was really "real" to all of us I'd speculated that the crashing would be overwith sometime around late springtime towards early summer 2019 (i.e. now).

Soooooooooo... gotta start thinkin' about coming back, I guess.

But, I dunno. IS it really "time" yet now?  Or kinda sorta maybe feels like there's gonna be one more leg-down crashola just to shake the monkeys one last time, before we REALLY start to get going towards next retaking ATH and next ten-bagger from there (going into Halvening time...)

Whaddaya dudes all think?  Maybe I oughta "get back in" but with only like 'half' yet... and wait & see on the other half?

Something like that?  Or still just thinkin' out loud here awhile yet again.

LOL
