fyi, die SPD fordert in den Koalitionsverhandlungen nicht nur eine Erhöhung der Kapitalertragssteuer auf 30%, sondern auch eine Anwendung derselben auf Gewinne aus Kryptohandel

RBF is enabled but there is no option to increase the fee in the context menu in Electrum.

I guess I'm supposed to use the mempool accelerator then?

Maybe I just wait. The fee was 8.3 sat/vB btw which is low/mid priority according to MEMPOOL.

Do I have to manually broadcast something? (I watched a video where it says so)

As of now, the transaction is just sitting there with 0 confirmations after 2+ hours.

I think I messed up the fee as I just applied the default fee that was set by Electrum and it was too low so now I'm stuck for hours (maybe even days?)...

You were right, Omega. In the YouTube videos I watched, they never showed the fee screen, so that's why I was confused.

I just completed the sweeping process and the fee was surprisingly low.

Thank you guys so much for your help!

So you're saying after hitting the "sweep" button I can still choose the amount of fee I want to pay?

Hi, I just learned the difference between sweeping and importing a private key from a paper wallet into Electrum and that, overall, sweeping is the "better" option.

What I could not find out is whether or not I have any control over the fee I have to pay.

I read some reddit threads about "Outlandishly high fees for sweeping from a paper wallet" or " it will not doing it for anything less than %5" and now I'm a bit worried as I never tried the sweep option before (I used to use Blockchain.info only) and it's a relatively high amount, so I don't want to pay like thousands of dollars* just to cover a third-party fee I have no control of.

*which is probably not going to happen but, you know, just in case...

Thank you guys. Any help is highly appreciated.

Come on, no need to grovel just because they do not scam you in the end. At least for their attempt, we have to blame them!

What do you mean they pay you 2000 Euro per month?

The instalment they pay you varies on the current BTC price?

So if BTC is skyrocketing, you will lose value?

I mean, if that was your suggestion, it's alright. Maybe you planned to sell your BTC anyway, so it wouldn't make much of a difference.

Anyways, congrats!



Wrong. They are thieves who got caught and then being rueful

 

First of all, it was not the "Ministerium für Inneres..." (they probably mean the Bundesinnenministerium = Federal Ministry of the Interior) which ratified the new gambling law called "Glücksspielstaatsvertrag" but the 16 federal states of Germany. Gambling falls under the legislation of the federal states. The Federal Ministry of the Interior has no legislative competence in this regard.

Secondly, online gambling has always been illegal in Germany. There was just a grey area when it came to prosecution. German authorities tolerated especially EU-based operators from Malta and Gibraltar because the highest court of the EU, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), chid Germany multiple times for their national gambling law reasoning that it would violate fundamental rights of the EU like the "Freedom of Establishment and Freedom to Provide Services in the European Union". So, what Germany did was just tolerating online gambling but, formally, it has NEVER been legal before July 1. In fact, sports betting and casino was a state monopoly and land based only.

In short, suggesting that online gambling suddenly became illegal in Germany on July 1, 2021 is just wrong. It has always been illegal in this country.

Regarding the Bitcoin <-> Euro thing, I can support what LoyceV said. It's so shady, it makes them even look worse. They know exactly that they "made a mistake" (aka tried to scam) and that they have to pay in order to keep face. But instead of just paying the remaining balance, they are now trying to push down the amount. And on top of that all, they are not even willing (or able?) to pay the balance at once.

The whole story throws such a bad light on Buff.bet and their parent company XB Systems AG.

It's still available if you select any crypto currency in the form:

It's pretty obvious to me that they don't have access to the code, so blocking German IPs was the only option they had. Meaning that if you are a German (currently) located in another country or just using a simple browser built-in VPN (e.g. in Opera) like I did, you can still register. It's really working, I just tried. I even filled the address data with a real German email domain and a real existing German address:

https://i.imgur.com/a540feA.png

It even says "Account status: Verified:" although the chosen name, email address, DOB and phone number is completely fake 

What a shady book.

No, it's not just you. I can't access the site either.



Yeah, unlucky if you're not the owner of the software and have to wait for some external provider to edit the code.

That's absolutely fine. Just do what any other legit online sportsbook and casino did, when the new German regulation applied: Pay the remaining balance to the player!

You have every right to close a player's account. But you have no right to confiscate their winnings.

If you don't amend your decision, you will find out the hard way that it was a big mistake.

You really thought you could scam a player and get away with it with zero repercussions?

Lol, you were so wrong. Expect huge negative PR for XB Entertainment and XB Systems AG.

Daniel Miller Jochem, the CEO of XB Systems, will receive a call very soon. I'm curious about his opinion on this case

If Buff.bet does not honor the remaing balance of customers they ban due to new national regulation, but instead confiscate the winnings without prior notice, this site is a scam. There can't be two opinions about that.

AskGamblers.com is run by some marketing a**holes who are lining their pockets at the expense of the players!

It's the second time they have closed one of my complaints without even giving me a chance to make a statement on the casino's reply: https://www.askgamblers.com/casino-complaints/all-right-casino-account-closed-and-under-investigation-for-7-weeks

I've asked their support to reopen the complaint but they refused.

I've asked their support why they even closed my complaint as 'resolved' but they refused to give me a reason.

But hey, it's good for their statistics, I guess. They can add another completely unresolved dispute to their resolved record and everybody - except the player - is happy!


 

Adkinsbet scammed me: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5314932.0

There are plenty of other threads about Adkinsbet in the scam accusation section.

Adkinsbet itself closed its own thread because they couldn't justify the fraud any longer: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5290408.msg56259233#msg56259233

Please stay away from this site.

So you scammers started a new thread?!

Geez, what happened to this forum?

Sock puppets and trolls dominating 

No, I didn't. I'm tired of talking to those blatant liars.

And I'm sure I won't reach anything anyway. This thread is just pro forma.

Danke trotzdem!

Of course I remember. I wish I wouldn't.



So what's that supposed to mean? As far as I know, for the player it's not even possible to cancel a withdrawal. At least I didn't find any option or button to cancel it.

The odds were in line with the market. 1xbet had the same odds at that time. It just was huge value, so consequently the odds had to drop until kickoff. As I said before, the early bird catches the worm.

Actually not worth replying as you seem to be a shill/sock puppet, but I do it anyways to make clear what I think has happened:

Adkinsbet placed the bet when the outcome was already known. This is not uncommon and happened before at other books: https://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/sportsbooks-industry/3559319-summary-1bet-18bet-babibet-hacking-scandal.html

BTW, if you guys wonder about my reputation, ask any user or the moderators on the SBR forum: https://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/sportsbooks-industry/3646039-adkinsbet-cancelled-my-withdrawal-request-placed-fake-bet-lost.html

And yeah, it's funny to see how sock puppets are defending Adkinsbet and questioning if the bet was really placed by themselves. For the case you missed it: Adkinsbet basically admitted that they placed the bet as they voided it an hour later by saying there was a "technical problem" when I told them that I opened two threads on BCT and SBR. Hilarious!

Then they apologized but instead of letting me withdraw my funds, they retroactively voided my Syrian Cup Combo THREE WEEKS LATER for "fixing" + "abitrage" (arbitrage on a 4-match combo lol) + "tipster service"!

Shills and sock puppets: Stop posting misleading BS! Stop blowing smoke! Get out of this thread if you have nothing more to say!
