Re: which dice site is better ?

on 22/05/2018, 16:33:22 UTC
I've been a fan of Yolodice for quite awhile because of the frequent promotions and tournaments they are having. It's quite amusing to see people going for the prize of the tournament and it pretty much gets intense when it is nearing the end. Overall, I also like the very simple way it works. It has all the features I want in a dice site and it seems pretty secure and fair in my opinion.

Re: Celebrating my 0 to 100+ merits and demonstrations of impact

Congrats OP. I'd say some people are just plain jealous that they can't earn as much merit as you did. sMerits are pretty much limited by now and I don't think you have cheated your way to get that much merit. The fact is, I think everybody that gave you merit is conscious enough to decide for themselves if you do deserve to receive that merit. Looking at your merit, you received plenty of merit from people that would likely not give merit just for kicks.

Edit: Oh by the way, I think I just discovered xtraelv has been abusing the merit system. If DT members could check his merit summary you will see that he has been exchanging merit with user Lafu back and forth.

Edit 2: Well, I think OP beat me to it, I hope some DT members could check on this guy. Ref: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3168616.msg37797512#msg37797512

Re: Understanding Online Casino Bonuses
by
Qartersa
on 22/05/2018, 15:05:00 UTC
Bonuses are actually honey pots. They are not there to be given out for free. The terms and conditions on those bonuses are quite hard to reach and in the end you will actually just lose everything before you even get the bonus. That is why bonuses on gambling sites feel scammy, because it is almost impossible to get the bonus anyway, they just make you want to bet more and more without realizing that the fact is that it is next to impossible to do the roll over requirement.

Absolutely true for the most parts. Especially on those casinos that offer slots (thanks to the extremely high edges on slots) - this is where you find those impossible to believe bonuses of 200% to 500% even. All the rollover requirements end up putting you in tough -EV positions that really do require you to be extremely lucky, or play really long streaks of microbetting.

I will say though, that a lot of fiat casinos online have good bonuses for first-time players and made a modest sum 3 years ago when I started opening accounts on a lot of UK bookies like Betfair. The bonuses were either free wagers or enhanced odds (I always went for the latter)... when Liverpool had their good run in the Europa League I won a series of x20 bets on each win. Rolled over the free wagers and won back real money.

In the end, what serves you long term are the best odds (which is why I stick to my sportsbooks) and cashback programmes.

Although sportsbooks in the UK are an exception here, I've read in the past that people are even paying UK residents to make them accounts on those sportsbooks operating in the UK exactly because of what you said. I am not sure why it is easier to hit the bonus requirements in the UK than other countries but that's something we can say as an outlier here. Aside from what you stated, all bonuses are just something to trick people in believing they are going to get free money by betting.

If that bet won, I don't think you'll be here complaining.

It's you fault anyway for not checking the balance and you knew yourself that you have some bitcoins incoming. You should have exercised caution when you did that max bet. If you did get a faucet claim of 50 sats then it should have been added to your 0.14416387 which should have totaled 0.14416437. But your bet did not show that. You seem to have missed that.

Basically, you did not prove any point here nor have proven primedice and stake.com as a scam. Also if you did not know, primedice and stake.com are operated by the same operators, having the same support doesn't mean they are a scam.

Re: Hackers ?

Are there a lot of hackers now in the crypto's world ? I mean, it a place not totally safe, because of it's quit new.  Do you think hackers can change the crypto economy for their own benefit ?


To be honest, hackers have been around since the early days of computers. It has been a threat ever since, but to prevent them from causing damage to anything, security should always be a priority. Hackers can hack computers and whatever accounts but they cannot generate private keys unless they acquire it from your own lack of security. They cannot hack bitcoins as they would have to hack some 13,000 nodes running the public ledger to be able to manipulate transactions.

If you read the white paper of Satoshi Nakamoto on Bitcoins, then you would read a line where he says that it would be more profitable to mine bitcoins legitimately than to try and hack.

Re: BTC almost break 10k
by
Qartersa
on 22/05/2018, 09:26:20 UTC
Bitcoin is going to go above $10,000 soonest as Alot of momentum are been gathering for the next push.  Bitcoin need to remain above $10,000 in other not to be undervalued.  Also noticed that many people buy bitcoin above $10,000 and those has been in panic base on the state of the market.
Bitcoin has not been undervalued , it is only in the range where the price is not to good that is almost yearly happens where some people don't anticipate this situations most often times this is for newbies. Market and price will going to break $10k wait for a while we are in accumulation where others are goin to enter the crypto world.

The time bitcoins went up as high as $20,000 was when it was over valued. I think at this current price level, it would seem that it is the right price. We should really base the optimal price based on the cost of producing one unit of Bitcoins. That is the fundamental value of it. And I think it is just right to say that we would need around $8,000 - <$10,000 to acquire one unit.

The admins must take action if he presents a signed message. If he doesn't have the password to your account or access to your email then he can't control it unless he signs the message and the admins gives him the login.

It is still good practice to stake an address and better secure your private keys.

Re: HTC is planning to build a blockchain-powered smartphone
by

on 21/05/2018, 16:49:35 UTC
Honestly, I feel that sometimes big companies are just exploiting the terms "cryptocurrencies" and "blockchain" too much. They are just using the terms as a marketing stunt and they are trying to ride the waves that was caused by Bitcoins so they can promote their products. Usually though, they don't really have any features making full use of the technologies. I haven't really seen a company use blockchain in a very practical manner.
Yes There needs to be real action and action that really utilizes blockchain technology appropriately. do not let them all just say about blockchain. Application of blockchain technology must be maximized so that the device has advantages over others. Until now I also have not seen any company acting on this issue, most of them only take advantage of the state of crypto. Utilization of a real nature is still fairly modest and not much different from the current utilization.

Based from what is happening they are just really throwing the words around to gain attention and there is zero application of the technology. People should boycott these companies for doing such an unethical way of promoting their products as they do not plan to really implement such technologies. I do hope if HTC is advertising they are going to use the blockchain technology on their phones, they better do so.

Re: Do you really care if your data is exploited??

For me I don't really care if it is anonymous data for research purposes to improve something from the service or generally for the body of knowledge. But if it is personally directly linked to my personality then it is another thing. That means they can directly cause harm to me and possibly steal my identity. Another issue is that they would be able to act as me and be able to get control of my bank accounts since they can call the bank and pretend to be me.

Re: BTC effect on altcoins
by
Qartersa
on 20/05/2018, 23:31:21 UTC
Back then it was a lot easier to predict the price movement of altcoins based on Bitcoins, but right now its like the wild west. Previously, when Bitcoins go up, the altcoins all go down and vice versa. Right now, even if Bitcoins are moving up some altcoins are also moving up along with bitcoins. And in fact, since they are pegged in Bitcoins, if they move up the USD price of these altcoins go up exponentially. Just pretty much very hard to make a prediction nowadays.

Bitches are buying ETH and Bitcoin Cash

I admit that many traders prefer to invest in Eth coz it can be really profitable but when you say BCH then... !!!
BCH has no future and it will disappear soon, it is just a matter of time.

You may be wrong there, Roger Ver even moved out of Bitcoins and bought Bitcoin Cash already. He may be on to something when he said that transaction speed in BCH may be the deciding factor it could lead BCH to win against Bitcoin itself. But I still think it is a long shot, though I think BCH is here to stay. But who knows, altcoins has always been pretty unstable in a lot of aspects.

I kind of agree with this, I remember the casino Fortune Jack got negged because they consistently got these kinds of complaints even though they were able to come out of the issue clean and were able to pay out the player after a short investigation.

Although, maybe this has been resolved? If the person stopped complaining, then it might mean he has been paid already, if not the best court of action for him is to file a scam accusation, that would really put a dent on the operations of PD and their other sites if they don't react to the thread.

Re: BTC Price $15000 in July

The fact is that we can't keep on making these predictions without basis. All of these predictors are just delusional people.
We actually can. It's called speculation for a reason. If predictions don't play out how people were thinking it would, they will adjust it so they have a better shot at being right the next time.

It's however a different story if we talk about how much value these predictions hold, which is pretty much zero. This is actually what makes even the best traders in this market lose out ~ there is just no way to predict it.

Plain gamblers are lucky and bank on certain opportunities one day, while chart analysis guys completely miss the boat, and then a week later the same situation repeats, but then vice versa.

I'm glad that I am in for the long term and don't have to go through all that.

You basically did agree. It's not that we cannot make baseless predictions, it's the point that we should stop making stupid predictions out of stupid data like from my previously linked posts. The issue is people just keep on creating new threads about their predictions with failed assumptions and forcing the data to show their prediction is right. Which in fact is wrong, as it could lead people to believe their prediction has some sort of legitimacy and accuracy.

Let's not get into gambling, that is totally a whole new story and should never be equated to trading.

Re: Trading, ICO, Lending, Bounty. Which one should I do ?
by
Qartersa
on 20/05/2018, 22:47:43 UTC
Dear friend,
So far, I know for kind of earning money from bitcoin and altcoins.
I start trading when bitcoin 17000. until now, I lost a haft of money.
ICO I have win any ICO. But  I did not invest to much.
Lending I think have not join anyone. But I think in the first time you can get profit from lending. But no more later.
And now, bounty, I still reading and research information about it. No one help or support. One day, hundreds of campaign public. But dont know which one scam or good.
I am distempered. Need more advice from you here Smiley

It all depends upon whether you understand the crypto market or not otherwise loss in crypto trading is somewhat certain. Crypto market is very volatile and if you have no knowledge of how it works, you will loose tons of money for sure.
Most of the ICOs out there are probably scams and you need to check and verify many things before investing in any one of them to earn profits.
Doing bounty and lending your coins are two of the safest options out there to make money for a newbie.

Bounty is safe indeed, but lending is not so safe. It's not that hard to get scammed there if you are not careful. Also even if you had altcoins as collateral it could just lose value in an instant. So you can't say those are safe.

I would say the safest way to profit in any case is to always do some kind of work and working smart. It doesn't involve a lot of capital and a lot of risks but the rewards are always exceptional.

Re: Why does bitcoin have value?
by
Qartersa
on 20/05/2018, 22:07:11 UTC
bitcoin has value because now the total supply of bitcoin is very limited and also the demand of bitcoin is very high, now bitcoin can be used for multipurpose payment very efficient. that's a bit of an idea why bitcoin has a high value and price.

Scarcity is indeed a reason, but that is not the only one though. You can say that bitcoins are priced this way because people see it as something valuable and useful. Similar to gold, people value it based on how much they believe its value to be. To be honest, I would say that gold is a lot more useless than bitcoins as the latter is much much more malleable and has more real world use than gold which is just used as a jewelry or some sort of status symbol.

March it will rise back to $15,000 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3057203.0)
April it will rise back to $15,000. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3167285.0)
May it will rise back to >$10,000 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3802547.0)
July it will raise back to $15,000 (which is this one)

Its not to infinite, its 7 bets if you lose your up start over at eazch loss, and on a max bet 200$ table it works fine, you just go back to your minimal bet each time you lose.

That is still martin gale, you just modified its steps and has a reset when a particular number of losses is reached. Nothing new to what you described in the OP. The fact is no betting strategy will ever work in gambling, it has been proven countless times already. You can try it yourself, play a good number of hands and you'll soon realize the truth.

Easy, create businesses centered on cryptocurrencies. Because, why not? You can always create your own opportunity especially with this technology. There are a lot of opportunity that can be made using this technology, since you can revolutionize a lot of conventional necessities we have today. Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies has already revolutionized money and there are a lot more things it can change which is a business opportunity.
