We all know this and commit it! I still throw down a x100 bet every now and then when I feel I haven't seen a hit in a long, long time. Even with sports I do the same, especially with high-ratio win teams like Bayern or Barca. When I see a x17 payout and it feels like the big teams are due a loss, I take it. Works out about 50/50 of the time 

1. Blackbytes usually arrive about a day after your byteballs come in.
2. You can do a rough estimation of your value by checking https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/byteball/. At the moment this means you have about 370,000 satoshi worth.

Both poloniex and cex have this same risk-preventing system (some method of Proof of Solvency) - in fact, I would assume all platforms that offer margin trading have it, since it is firstly to protect themselves and the lenders, in the case of Polo.

With crypto markets extremely volatile, I would highly recommend a practice account on a forex platform first, using the same leverage, before ever trying out crypto.

Contention on some phrases aside, which I believe is at least partially owing to language, this is a very healthy move if it is true (especially if the others are following suit). It's pretty rare for the pools from there to be vocal as this, so perhaps we will see more participation and opinion from now on. Could this be partly responsible for today's (inexplicable) rally?

But yes, start signalling support already!

Well, the one good news is I seem to see fewer empty blocks down the page of 50 most recent blocks. Used to be quite an unhealthy number of them there. Still, at about 3.5 empty blocks per 50 that's still more than 5% capacity that could have been used.

It's tempting to bet on Cilic as the Serbian's got 8 years of youth on his side. I'm still putting my money on Fed, partly for nostalgia but partly also because of the immense psychological hurdle that Cilic's going to have - falling 7 out of 8 times against the Swiss champ. I've seen in so many sports like badminton how this "record" keeps coming back to haunt them.

Cilic will burn bright in first and second sets, but Federer's uncanny ability to persist will see him through.

If you're wondering about the legality of gambling and using crypto in the UK, you'll be glad to know that as a jurisdiction the UK Gambling Commission certainly does recognise Bitcoin as a legitimate form of gambling currency.

Yes, you could easily get away with registering and licensing from a variety of other jurisdictions like Costa Rica, as suggested by others, but if you're setting up a business and are inclined to go with regulation and reputation, a license from the UK GC jurisdiction is worth far, far more than that of say, Costa Rica.

You might end up being right here. Even if BCC ends up being valued, the price spike caused by extreme buying demand up to that point will more than make up for the drop of both (if this scenario plays up). Then it's just a patient wait for the sure climb again.

If you're active and spend time on the forum as much as most of us do, there's no harm in being part of a signature campaign. Just make sure it's a project you really support, so it makes sense for you to carry it. But invest in your own future and passion, and get a day job! Treat your earnings here as a nice reward for being active and constructive, otherwise you take away the value of this forum - there's a reason many here think paid sigs are a scourge of this place.

Include sites wallets too. Actually, I'm surprised that more haven't taken the Coinbase stance that won't give any options to users to access alternative coins. I don't know any site or exchange that has ever given out "airdrops", but many have now promised to support alternative coins should the fork(s) happen. I suppose it's the ethical thing to do, not that that has ever come into play.

We're all guilty of overlooking teams that build up quietly. You're on the spot with West Ham, they've got a base to build on and fight for a Europa spot. Everton has also been flexing their newfound financial muscle and must be quietly eyeing top 4 with some eye catching buys.

I don't use it very much except to sell my bitcoins at regular intervals for expenses. The only advice I would say is to only fill the online buy orders because of the escrow, where you only release bitcoins after the buyer has paid (in my case I use online bank transfer). I may get about 2-3% less than other offers but I would never make a trade that doesn't use escrow. I recommend that as minimum to prevent being scammed.

I would assume the same for posting sell/buy orders. There are fees involved, but as you'll find on LBC, the fees are priced in anyway, so you're still likely to make more than when using non P2P exchangers.

This week showed that whatever doesn't kill Bitcoin will only make it stronger. I definitely feel $5k is within reason, given everything that's already happened so bring on November! Special gif request please.

Precisely my thoughts. Coins like these appear out of nowhere and don't particularly need legitimacy (I say this also holding a silly sum of an extremely silly alt that has no reason to live and rise in price other than because someone(s) involved in pumping it). Whatever it is, don't be naive and think you can get into the "game" unscathed. Focus on what's at play for the long term.

Hi paybis! You definitely save fees if you do bulk transaction, because, other than the fee you pay per byte, there is also a fixed fee that is added PER transaction. So, making 1 tx means you only pay that fixed fee once. Of course, you still have to pay the fee per byte for all the other inputs you add. Also, this means when you confirm the tx, we all get it at the same time, so there should be fewer complaints.

Maybe if you mention the wallet you are using, we can help you more?

Oh the outrage, the eloquent outrage of false journalists pandering to sensationalist hype that's at least four years old. If only proper media with accredited backgrounds and reputable credentials would write about bitcoin. Oh, wait. Forbes.

Can't blame the journalist for writing what the editors think. For a moment when I read it I thought I was reading about the dollar.

Understandable at some point... but when AML/KYC and due diligence for cryptocurrency users far exceeds that of regular fiat or even other forms of electronic currency, it can be a major obstacle for adoption.

I do agree the general user will probably just comply, but I suppose they want to try and take a hit out on suspected activity. This sort of move will only push illegal activity deeper down the rabbit hole.

It's you and it's not! Yes, it has been decreasing over time, but only because Bitcoin price has been increasing over time. You seem to know about their faucet payouts but perhaps have not been paying attention to what you're actually getting. The payouts are fixed at a fiat price in USD. So the amount of satoshi you get changes each hour based on the price of BTC at the time.

The only way I can see how holders can be involved in trading is simply by lending to margin traders. In theory as I understand, the more there is to borrow, the easier it will be to trade on higher margins and the more traders can be active. I imagine that if a lot more holders loaned out their coins on major exchanges, offering lower interest rates, there could be a positive effect on volume.

I would also like to report that I have seen the payment tx from two hours ago, only that it hasn't confirmed. As stated earlier, however, I have no issue if this will save OP on fees.

OP, a suggestion. Please amend the payment schedule to say that you will make payments on Tuesdays, and using low fees so expect payments to be delayed. Also, why not make 1 bulk payment to all of us? You'll save on fees that way.
