[–]Bit_By_Bit No point getting out. You've lost money, but by holding, it's a donation to the future of humanity as bitcoin is comprehensively better than the legacy system - hence why I've taken a $20k paper-hit, and wasted 60 hours every week for the past 40 weeks evangelizing, attending meetups, researching and speaking. This technology MUST survive if we are to avoid major MAJOR economic, social and environmental existential risks materializing in the future. Every day, I look dumber and dumber for throwing my money and life away propping up the Gox criminals and hyprocritical, patronising and opportunistic early adopters, who have nothing for me but bullshit captain hindsight commentary I'm a pretty good gauge of market emotion, considering I'm what you would call "all in" on bitcoin...Some people call that "stupid", but if people don't do it, your get rich quick scheme will fail, so, yeah, someone's gotta loving do it. [–]JoJoeyJoJo Not being rude, but isn't taking a $20k paper hit a pretty good sign that your get rich quick scheme has failed? [–]Bit_By_Bit Piss off mate - you don't know a single loving thing about me. This was 100% about making a difference to the world and it still is. I found out about this way too late to ever get rich off it I just hope it becomes a "thing", so I can at least start getting paid for my services by a bitcoin employer, who, oddly enough, will most likely be a billionaire

 No fees! And for some reason they don't mention the no-chargebacks feature. (Not even the bitcoiners like it. Mainly because it says 2012 instead of 2013)

How does the cryptography at all determine if off-the-blockchain virtual chip based poker is rigged to print "you lose" every time I, and every other sucker, press bet? it isn't. bitcoiners seem to think the blockchain is its own sentient entity, a wise arbiter that isn't under the control of whoever owns the most miners.

How does the cryptography at all determine if off-the-blockchain virtual chip based poker is rigged to print "you lose" every time I, and every other sucker, press bet? If it's on the blockchain, then you could compare the total amount of bitcoin going in versus going out and at least see if the average odds make sense. But nothing would prevent a casino from setting up a bunch of "external" wallets that "win" a lot of their bets and then just recycling those wallets over and over while giving the real players terrible odds

pretty sure when they say "provably fair" they're talking about https://classic.satoshidice.com/secrets.php as others have said there's nothing inherent with bitcoin that makes gambling provably fair, but a person could use it in a way that could be provably fair.

in other words they are using some non-vernacular technical definition of "fair" that has no application to whether or not you will lose money gambling with bitcoins you will

it is relatively easy to create a betting system that will give a provably fair result, that is, for every run of the algorithm you either win or lose within some specific percentage what is hard to prove is that the system won't just go "500 server error" once your 1% odds $1000 bet hits, while it gladly accepts your bet the 99% of the time you lose

The graphic shows people buying chips with bitcoin and then gambling on the chips. So all an audit would show is bitcoins went in from several wallets. Less bitcoins went out to different wallets. Satoshi dice almost killed the loving network so your wager isn't going to be on the blockchain. Just your buying of chips and how many you sold back when you finally got tired of "whoops dealer gets 21 again loving amazing how that happens" And if those chips that came out into wallets went back in again who would be able to tell the difference between "rigged casino recycling winnings for show" and "winner getting the gambling itch and coming back for more?" All the opportunity for shady poo poo would happen off the blockchain and at no point would it be provably fair. When I was seven I moved and the first day meeting new kids I lost a game of marbles "for keeps", apparently, and watching that kid walk away with my big swirly both killed any interest in learning the rules of marbles and made me just pathologically distrust the entire idea of gambling. I don't get gambling. You lose your poo poo and now have less poo poo? Why did you do that?

Same Great Paste posted:pretty sure when they say "provably fair" they're talking about yeah this is what i think of when i think 'provably fair'. you commit to some secret ahead of time, the user provides their own randomness (in the form of the txid), and you use your secret and the user randomness to determine if the user wins (and then reveal your secret). fair coin flipping is a classic problem in crypto and this seems like a pretty straightforward generalization

fisting by many posted:doesn't the blockchain actually prove that? anyone can theoretically audit a casino site and it would become apparent if a disproportionate amount of large wagers were losses. As was said, annonymous wallets pretty easily would allow for a straight forward way to fake payouts. Especially with the 'always use new addresses' stuff coiners wank to Krinkle posted:The graphic shows people buying chips with bitcoin and then gambling on the chips.

be your own bankquote:I'm new to bitcoin, and I've been trying to sign up for Coinbase for 3 months. Had some trouble verifying my card, then my identity, and now they've just flagged my transaction attempt for the third time in a row, and they won't tell me why. I accidentally had my VPN on when I first got started, but turning it off hasn't helped.
