Bitcoin Based Trustless Betting Platfrom?
by

on 10/09/2015, 14:46:56 UTC
I'm looking for a platform that allows bets on anything, but is decentralized and trustless.... perhaps using smart contracts to service the bet, eliminating counter party risk.

One that's getting traction now.

Any recommends?

Re: BTC-E crash to $150!

BTC-E owes the community a detailed explanation on how BTC was pushed to 150 USD on volume that can't possibly justify that move, and explain the cancelled orders others have reported here.

There's plenty that needs explaining.  And if BTC-E wants to garner any kind of trust they would be forthcoming.  So far, nothing!
The volume CAN justify that move. That's because it's a flash crash. Someone might've market sold 3k BTC and it triggered stop-losses that amounted to 8k. It is possible because it happens really fast and then the price is back up again with little volume. Blame the thin orderbook.

On the other hand, real plunges are gradual and can continue for hours and thus have a lot higher volume transacted just due to their duration.

It can happen if open orders were cancelled without the users consent, as has been reported here.  Opening the way for a bear attack, pushing critical stop points.... either by collusion, or by some software glitch, that is exactly what happened.  Either case, users that had their stops hit, and users that had their open orders cancelled were defrauded.   This was not a market move according to free market forces.

You are talking about a lot of things here but why would they mess up with your trades? What do they win by doing that? Absolutely nothing as far as i understand it. I have been using btc-e for over a year now and i have never had any problems with them, everything is always smooth, the only problem recently is the frequent ddos but you cant really do much about it.

I am talking about the fact that their MT4 is bucket shop.
If you make very small trades 0.01 than it is OK. But than you earn 1 cent when it goes 1 usd in your favour. No, you earn 1 cent after it goes 2 or 3 USD in your favour cause you have to pay them fees. In another words, you would earn approx 1 USD on 100 USD price change. Common I think we want to earn more than this. You want to open 0.01 trade and wait 1 year whether it goes 100 USD in your favour and than grab your 1 USD?
 But try to open 1.00 lot of their CFD and very probably they realize that trade into small pieces like 0.01 (sorry but when I want to buy 1.00 I want to have it in one part not in 50 rows, especially when you try to open more and result is 300 rows in MT4 window. If you want to see that mess I can send you printscreens......) and than when you want to close this trade in profit, you simply see "off quotes" but when in the same platform I tried another small trade like 0.05, of course I could open and close it immediately with tiny profit.

MT4 enable brokers to make groups of clients according to different criteria, in another words its easy for broker to cheat clients... and why they wouldnot do it when they could and nobody is able to realize it?

I am talking about the fact, that if you ever tried to open a large trade like 5.00 of their CFD or even 10 x 5.00 you cannot never get good price but everytime signioficantly higher (in case of buying) and once you decide to close the trade in profit very probably (not 100% everytime) you simply cannot. because of different error messages.
That sucks, if you take 100 BTC and try to sell it at Bitstamp or Bitfinex, you also dont get best price but your price doesnot differ by 10 or even more USD (20 usd)  from price which you see on screen. It may even happen that your price could be better than you expected, Becuase their order book is full of real buyers and sellers.
Even if you try to trade on some sudden movements you can rely that you buy or sell for the price which you see on screen even if you trade manually.
On BTCe MT4 must be no volume than because there is never any counterparty for your large trade.

BTCe exchange is OK, they dont mess with you but problem is that you must see many warning signs like no volume, BTC is cheaper by 10 or more usd, strange price behavior,... for me its enough - I lost money on MT4 and dont want to loose the rest because I already lost on MTGox

And regarding BTCe MT4....
In case you set up tight SL or TP, guess what, of course, it will be hit exactly at that SL price by sudden flash. And you cannot say anything cause in charts you cant see both buy/sell price so in many cases you simply couldnot do anything, you cannot see whether the price really reach thet threshold.
And worst of all, if you dont fill TP or SL, you risk even bigger disaster, in case like last weekend. I had one left waiting order sell at 219 with TP on 200 and SL on 259. I forgot to delete it cause I would never expect that price would go down so deep during weekend. And guess what, of coures it was triggered and of course it was closed on SL around 259.... despite price went down to 160 or something prior it went back higher. But of course it could be explained , but its the same when your girlfriend is cheating on you and gives you any explanation which is on her mind.
Once I was thinking about their master and slave account system.. but if you read their details about fees... I think it only results in paying fees to master and broker and you dont get anything, And of course, they tell you that master account has bad days, that you must have expected it and even if master makes some profit, fees are huge so you see some profit only in case of 100% a month or so what you cannot expect in reality.
My assuption is, that they let you winn just a couple of USD, max maybe 10 or twenty USD a week, once you would get into tens or even hundreds of USD a week, they do anything to kill you. Thats my bitter 1 year experience


I don't know you are talking like a gambling addict that blames the site for his losses, i never seen any kind of scam accusation that was real against btc-e yet, im certain almost no one considers it as a scam, then again if you have proofs for your statements, go ahead and open a scam accusation

BTC-E owes the community a detailed explanation on how BTC was pushed to 150 USD on volume that can't possibly justify that move, and explain the cancelled orders others have reported here.

There's plenty that needs explaining.  And if BTC-E wants to garner any kind of trust they would be forthcoming.  So far, nothing!

Personally I am expecting the worst out of them. I had some trades mysteriously close during the so called "crash" that should have stayed open even if the price went to 0, even had buy limits canceled for no reason that should have been filled. I have tried transferring out of my MT4 account to get my remaining funds out of that thieves den, but of course that does not work either. Three days later no support response back on my ticket and now the site is down.

yes that happened to me as well, I should have made printscreen, but what I can do with them??? send them to non responding support?Huh I will just move all my funds away... hopefully soon. As I wrote, they let you make several USD profit but when you want to multiply your strategy they stopp to execute your trade. Simple "Off quotes" error message. or lost connection. And you can ****************** And of course after you got into loss suddenly everything is smooth.... But when you try simoultaneously (eg manually at the same time ) made the same trade with 0.01 everything is OK..... what to say more?

I opened several 5.00 lot buy positions on BTCe MT4 (open a trade was quick and easy) but problem was that it was made by much worse price and the worst of all was closing - you couldnot close it partially, you couldnot close it by changing SL or TP - price was going up and down and my SL and TP field in MT4 got yellow but was not respected. (= so it could close my trade 30 USD away from SL and I wouldnot do anything with this.... you know support if even bother to answer you can tell you anything... perhaps you already trade somewhere MT4 bucketshop )
 I tried to open a small 0.05 lot of their CFD or whatever it is, and close this small position and it was smooth. But anything biger like 1.0 or even 5.0 lot position was frozen.... after about 1 hour since that drop it started to closing my position by small parts (Partially by 0.01 or 0.05 etc !!!! and of course cca 5 USD away from SL or TP}  and all that pain was finished during another hour.

I thought I made a fortune but in the end it was loss for me. Never more.
I could summartize it, I can change a bit that sentence sadi by Henry Ford: You can close your trade/ position anytime  if you are in a loss. (other wise you get "off quotes message") really funny but not for me.


Bitfinex is better for leverage trading. Problems are bigger fees. But forget 796 if you dont have good robot. 796 is worst of all cause they have "AOC"  and this funny thing close your position once you get to the certain % of loss (even if you have enough BTC on your margin account) and than it takes all your money involved in a margin trade not only the part of money which you risk. This is insane. If you trade eg 1 BTC dont tell me that they cannot find counterparty for only 1 c o c k sucking BTC....
of course problem is as you surely know, that price isnot continual/smooth (I mean price goes in thresholds, it could be 277, 278, 279 per 1 BTC and not anything between because counterparty just want to execute only at certain level... and the whole funny issue is that on 796 price is like $280 per BTC but of course sudenly it could flash within a second to $300 on the buy or sell side and the whole funny thing is that at $280 you are in a loss like 30% which is OK, but with that sudden flash you got over that sucking % set by 796 for that current week and despite price goes immediately down to $280, the c o c ksucking 796 takes ALL YOUR MONEY INVOLVED. Everybody with more than 1 braincell in their head called it daylight robbery, but 796 call it AOC .....)

perhaps the only solution of this is not to trade on leverage but 1:1. But why I would do it for their high fees??? I could trade 1:1 directly without fees on much more trusted places like Bitstamp much more comfortably where price respects other exchanges and dont make dips +-20 USD in a second...
I thought 796 could be a place where you can try to profit from some certain movements but I warn you - on 796 the price is totally different with sudden big thresholds so its impossible to trade on high leverage movements like last weeks monday cause they look totally different on 796 and your position would be very probably sudenly closed. In case you dont have a robot which can with a fraction of a second evaluate how deep you are in a loss and accomodate the position... But again... who knows whether 796 doesnot segregate clients as well and maybe if you have big position you got "off quotes" as well despite you have clever robot....

Problem is they change that % how deep it allows you to go in a loss regularly .... their price is totally different from exchanges (sometimes +20 usd up sometimes down....) I incurred a big loss after a few succesful trades and unfortunately I didnot find good platform for trading 796 (their web pages is insufficient only a fool could trade on high leverage throgh 796 webpage)


my advice is.. forget on leverage and trade 1:1 on well known exchange, maybe with reliable robot, if you want to sleep and not sit in front of screen every night

You are talking about a lot of things here but why would they mess up with your trades? What do they win by doing that? Absolutely nothing as far as i understand it. I have been using btc-e for over a year now and i have never had any problems with them, everything is always smooth, the only problem recently is the frequent ddos but you cant really do much about it.

If there is collusion going on, they would cancel open orders to make way for an insider to push the stops at critical resistance points, inducing a leveraged sell off, where that same insider buys back at a deep discount.  There is plenty of reasons for them to mess with the open orders if they have no ethics and interested only in maximizing short-term profits.

We don't know if that is indeed what happened, but if it is, the community needs to know about it.  And/or some people go to jail.


Does anyone really posses any kind of evidence for that? Because all i see is speculation and accusations without much proof or none. Cryptsy as an example used to be really inconsistent and probably still is when it comes to orders, most of the times your orders werent canceled on time or you wouldnt get your money back fast enough, as i said i never had problems with btc-e and i have been trading recently more than 0.5 bitcoins per trade.

The hard number right now is the volume on the day of the crash.  

The volume does not justify a crash to that level.  How that happened needs to be investigated, and the truth come out.

If it was a glitch, so be it.  If it was collusion, we damn well should know.  What / how were the open orders cancelled without the users consent reported on this forum?  We need to know.  BTC-E owes the community a detailed explanation.

BTC could not have crashed to 150 with that low of volume, plain and simple. 

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/markets/btce/btcusd

There was a spike in volume during the crash, but not nearly enough to push the market to that level.

On July 11th on the spike up, the volume was double the volume during the crash, and the market only moved from  a low of 265 to 298.

There is no fucking way 1/2 the volume of that move moved the market from 280 to 150!  NO FUCKING WAY!

Either there was a glitch, or collusion, clearing open orders for a insider to execute a leveraged sell off, then re-buy back at a deep discount.

Whatever really happened we need to get the truth.

Some here have reported cancelled open orders they did not cancel.  That's exactly what would happen if there was collusion to open the way for an insider to crash the market.

I hope some insiders in BTC-E blow the whistle.  If there is collusion going on the community needs to know about it.
