Noone has posted in this thread for more than a year, last I knew they were trying to sell the site. Is it still operational? Far as the min wd, seems like people would be happy with under $1 minimum amount.
I think the site is still operational. I was able to log into my account and browse around. I have not attempted to deposit and gamble, though. This is a dummy account that I only use for checking withdrawal limits and fees.
No one has posted in this thread a long time but 8ombard's forum representative was last online on 28 August. That makes me think that he at least visits the forum occasionally. He hasn't posted on Bitcointalk since June, though.

Really? Is this what the Winna Casino platform is like? I haven't really checked it out yet, but because of your post, I tried looking at it and even signed up because I suddenly got curious.
This is the first time I've read a statement like this.
I wasn't talking about Winna in that post. I was talking about traditional fiat online casinos like bet365, bwin, or Sbobet. I have gambled on a few popular brands with fiat and never paid withdrawal fees. But that also depends on the withdrawal method. It's not the same if you are withdrawing to a bank account on the other side of the world or transferring your winnings to a digital wallet like Skrill, Neteller, etc.

I was looking at the withdrawal limits and transaction fees at 8ombard casino and noticed something that I found a bit unusual. When I open the cashier section, apparently I can only enter an amount in USD, not in bitcoin. The system tells me that the minimum withdrawal is 0.87704. Is that correct? Is the minimum $0.87704? I am asking because it's such an unusual amount.

Hey OGs,

To show our dedication to this forum, we've created a Bitcoin Talk exclusive welcome offer for new players from here!

Instead of our regular $2500 welcome offer, Bitcoin Talk members who sign up to Cloudbet with promo code CLOUDBTC25 will get a $5000 welcome offer instead.

Happy playing!
What about other welcome bonus terms? Will they remain the same or change with the increase in bonus money? Will the wagering requirements be higher since the welcome bonus increased 100%? How does the promo impact the minimum stake while wagering the bonus? What about eligible games and the contribution percentage to the playthrough requirements?

You don't have to keep everything in one wallet just because it's more convenient. In fact, you shouldn't do that. Increased convenience usually means a decrease in security. That's exactly what you get with unsafe wallets like Guarda and the like.

I agree with dkbit98 above regarding Cake wallet for storing altcoins. It also have a built-in exchange but I don't think the software supports fiat. I am not a fan of Unstoppable wallet, though.
Keep your bitcoin separate from everything else. Check out Electrum or Sparrow Wallet.
Your ethereum and ERC-20 tokens can go to MetaMask.

With hot wallets, you have to be sure your device is clean. Regardless which wallet you use, if your computer/mobile is infected with malware, you increase the possibility of losing your crypto. Only move bigger sums to hot wallets if you are confident that your device is safe. Although, keeping your money in a centralized exchange is far from a good alternative.

Re: Blockstream Green BTC wallet - can't generate seed while offline?

Thank you Pmalek for your initiative, it would be great to have it fixed if it is bug, or at least to have some information why it is needed if they make it like this on purpose. It would be great if you would share information when you get feedback from them  Smiley
The Blockstream support team replied back to me and it's not a bug. They made it that way on purpose.

They say it's a security design. PIN-based logins take advantage of Blockstream's blind oracle security model. Essentially, it's a remote server. When you use PIN logins, the application communicates with the blind oracle that holds a piece of your wallet's encryption key and retrieves that piece of data. The combination of the two is needed to unlock your wallet. They say that this design prevents someone from accessing your wallet and stealing from your app by just knowing your PIN and having physical access to your phone.

But if you use biometric logins, then the encryption and decryption takes place in your device's operating system. It doesn't require access to the blind oracle to retrieve a part of the encryption key. Everything is done locally on the device. That's also why you can generate a seed when offline.

There is no other games except plinko which is my only preferable game to play when the main purpose is just to collect wager. A game where there is a guarantee money back on every bet (at least 20%) because the lowest payout is 0.2x which cant be find in other games.
If you put it that way, you are absolutely right. With Plinko, even if you lose you don't lose the whole stake. You will get something back, even if that sum is only 20% or 50% of what you wagered. I guess I should give Plinko some more attention and consider it in situations where a casino requires extra wagering. I just haven't had much luck with it, with the balls tendency to drop in the middle pockets most of the time.

Re: What's the best cold wallet for holding altcoins?

on 01/09/2025, 15:17:02 UTC
I still have a small selection of altcoins that I felt were worth keeping and stablecoins on my Ledger. I felt like it's better to move my bitcoin to other hardware wallets but I am ok to keep my alts on Ledger. The alternative coins I have are supported by my Trezor as well, but I have the Bitcoin-only firmware installed on it and want to keep it that way. Centralized stablecoins can be frozen by their issuers anyways, regardless of how and where you keep the keys.

Some may find it useful but personally I don't. Instead of building Augur from source on GitHub, installing, and configuring it before use, I can just visit mempool.space and compare those fee estimations to what I see on Jochen Hoenicke's website and then make up my own mind. It has worked well so far and I don't see a reason to change.

U dijelu mjesečne analize koja se tiče merita nekoliko puta greškom spominješ Lipanj umjesto Srpanj. Pretpostavljam da si samo zaboravio promjeniti mjesec prilikom kopiranja a da su grafikoni i statistika tačni i za Srpanj. Npr, kažeš da je u Lipnju podijeljeno 183 merita. Ili da je dkbit98 tijekom Lipnja poslao najviše merita. Ostalo je ja mislim ok.

I will see if I can get in touch with the Blockstream support team and ask them why their native software requires biometric data to generate a seed offline and at the same time refuses to create a new wallet if you choose to access the wallet with a PIN. There should be no reason for that. Also, what about older phones and those that don't have a fingerprint sensor? That would then mean that they can't generate a new seed without internet connection.

Totally agree on this since each currency has their own community that can be attracted to play in the casino using their holdings. I think I saw casino that adds almost all crypto currency on top 100 on CMC before.
Sure, why not! I am sure there are people out there who hold certain amounts of altcoins they don't know what to do with. It could be a small amount not worth the hassle of transferring to an exchange to swap for bitcoin or something more valuable. But then they see that a casino accepts deposits in that coin. They can then decide to gamble with it and see if luck is on their side. If it's not, it's more profit for the casino.

Thank you for feedback Pmalek! I never share biometric data, so that is almost certainly the cause of my issues. I was wondering why other people could generate wallet offline without any problems while I couldn't.
They probably didn't even consider that part crucial to the wallet creation process. I don't know why it matters either. I see no reason why I shouldn't be able to generate a new seed offline if I use PIN as my security instead of biometrics. It's not a protocol-level requirement. It's a weird decision made by Blockstream or maybe even an oversight or bug on their end.

I did not even know the wallet can still give password option except going to settings to do it, but because of your post, I clicked on 'close' which is beside the fingerprint and it brought up password. I used the password and it did not generate the wallet.
Password or PIN? I only saw biometrics or PIN codes, but not passwords.

Do you think there’s a chance that Web3 casinos will start accepting fiat in the future? I know branding plays a big role, but I’m asking more from the gambler’s side, wouldn’t it be better if casinos give more options, not just crypto deposits but fiat as well?
If a casino accepts more payment methods, it potentially opens its doors for more players. So, it's always a good idea to accept as many as possible. Why limit yourself to only fiat or crypto if you can do both and attract players from both worlds?! It makes sense.

Compare it to anything else in life. Imagine if you are the owner of a shop and you only accept card payments. Why would you turn down those willing to come to your business with the intention of paying with cash? It doesn't make sense from a business perspective.

I have a question for the MetaWin team. Maybe this was already answered in the past, so I apologize if it's repetition.
At the bottom of the page you link to your social media accounts, like Discord, X, and Telegram. But why does the website only link to the MetaWinners NFT X profile and not also to the official METAWIN.COM X account? It would make sense to have links to both, right?

I was looking for a dedicated Nunchuk Wallet thread but it seems we don't have one on the forum. I only have a small update to share and it didn't make sense to open a new thread just for that. This topic will have to do.

If anyone is using Nunchuk Wallet on Android, they should know that the 1.17.1 version had a bug. This bug caused the app not to load and fail on launch. The Nunchuk team recommended that you don't upgrade your app while they work on a fix. If you are affected by the bug, you can downgrade to version 1.17.0 from their GitHub or wait until 1.17.2 becomes available to you for download. Nunchuk has confirmed over X that the fix has already been released. So if the app won't load, make sure you have the latest version that contains the fix.

Here is my experience when trying to create wallets on airplane mode on Blocksktream Green and Blue Wallet.

Blockstream Green:
The app asked for my biometrics (fingerprint) at the beginning of the setup process. I had two options: to provide it by touching my fingerprint sensor or click the "Cancel" button. I clicked cancel and entered a 6-digit PIN code instead. The software started creating the wallet but it failed and I saw the "Network error" message you mentioned. I tried two more times and got the same error.

Then I went back to the beginning and provided my biometric data. Blockstream Green generated the wallet immediately. So, if the software gives you the option to provide your biometrics to unlock it, you should provide it. That's what worked for me.

Blue Wallet:
I had no issues logging in to my existing Blue Wallet app and generate a new wallet and seed in airplane mode. It shows a syncing notification that doesn't go away but that's normal since the app doesn't have internet connection and can't connect to a server.

Did Metawin lower the RTP of MetaWin original games?
Your question intrigued me and I wanted to check this for myself using Wayback Machine. Unfortunately, the service only has one capture of MetaWin's Original Games page dating back to July 2025. I hoped there would be older captures. Not only that, but I can't get the page to load at all. The loading icon keeps going in circles to no end.

If you want, take a look at it yourself and see if it will load on your end. Here is the capture:
