  1. Me too? Awwww...okaaay...I'll bask in the glory together with you my dear...but I'm lying in your shadow from all that sunshine! Hahaha.
  2. Good question my dear! I'll make it as brief as possible, for easier understanding. What exactly could cause Bitcoin to fail? Ever since its introduction some years ago, Bitcoin's value has shot up by about 100,000%!!! That's one hundred thousand percent! Simply unbelievable and simply unachievable with any fiat currency! Why has its value shot up so high? It's all purely because of human greed - everyone of the buyers want to be a millionaire quickly! So its value is pushed up by pure speculation and by pure greediness! As long as there are new buyers of Bitcoin, this cryptocurrency will survive...but there will come a time when all interested buyers have already owned enough of Bitcoin, and there won't be new buyers anymore! So what happens then? No more demand for Bitcoin...but with an extremely over supply of Bitcoin in the market! That's when the Bitcoin bubble will burst...and the cryptocurrency would crash like a holocaust! Owners want to sell their Bitcoins...but there won't be any buyers! Will the economy be affected by it? Nope! Not at all! That's because Bitcoin is an open free-for-all currency, existing only 'on air' in the internet, and is unregulated or controlled by any government or any financial body, so no fiat currency would be affected in any way. When BItcoin crashes, only the owners of Bitcoin would be affected...because all of those riches would be nothing more than mere digital numbers that has no real value at all! Try buying food or drinks with 16-digit numbers! Hahaha. Buyers and owners of Bitcoin are into it simply for the profit Bitcoin can bring! They know it's not real money. They know they cannot survive with digits if no one accepts it. But as long as they 'believe' that Bitcoin's value can still go much much higher, then they'll keep on buying the damn thing! Hehehe. What that long article meant to imply...is that the innovative technology behind that Blockchain has good potentials indeed...to further improve on the current financial protocols...and it is this technology that would emerge victorious in due time...not the cryptocurrencies! But of course, those evangelists, or true believers, in Bitcoin, would never agree to anything that critics have pounded BItcoin with thus far!
  3. And so the experienced fireman has spoken! But I'm a fireman too...so okay...agree to agree matey!
  4. You want a judicial review? Okay, no problem mate...dead is Bonanza...alive is Dead.
  5. Hahaha...and I do know how attached you are to your smartphone and tablet. Anyway, the researchers at the University Of Chicago made that finding, after comparing experimental results from those with their smartphones nearby them with those that left their smartphones in another room. So the blame should go to those researchers! Hahaha. Do smartphones make anyone stupid? Now that's stupid! That statement, I mean, hehehe. Smartphones may cause a lot of distraction, it may even slow down productivity to a certain extent, but it certainly doesn't make anyone stupid! But then again, it's probably just a stupid term to use by the author/writer of that article!
  6. Right on bra! So let's agree to agree..."let's pass on Twin Spin Deluxe"!
  7. NOPE! I am not saying that to you…but someone else is… https://lifehacker.com/your-smartphone-is-making-you-stupid-1796449887 Your Smartphone Is Making You StupidPatrick Lucas Austin 6/27/17 11:00am You lock yourself in a study room on the second floor of your college’s library, surrounded by dusty tomes and people who just love making out, and proceed to work on your graduate thesis. Unfortunately, you didn’t get rid of the biggest distraction to your studying: your smartphone. Turning it off might keep you from being distracted, but you’re better off throwing it out the window. On second thought, just leave it at home. That’s what a study from the University of Chicago suggests after discovering having your smartphone in close proximity not only distracts you from the task at hand, but reduces your ability to handle more complex cognitive actions like remembering and processing data. For those who depend on their smartphone for most things (so, everyone) the effects on their cognitive capacity may be most severe. Researchers asked participants to keep their silent phones visible on a desk, in a pocket or bag, or in a separate room altogether. They then performed tests on a computer to measure cognitive capacity, one called the Automated Operation Span task measuring working memory capacity, another called the Raven’s Standard Progressive Matrices, measuring fluid intelligence. “The present research identifies a potentially costly side effect of the integration of smartphones into daily life: smartphone-induced “brain drain.” We provide evidence that the mere presence of consumers’ smartphones can adversely affect two measures of cognitive capacity—available working memory capacity and functional fluid intelligence—without interrupting sustained attention or increasing the frequency of phone-related thoughts.” The problem stems from your brain using a bit of your cognitive capacity to stay on track when you know your phone is right next to you, begging to be touched. It gets compounded when something like a notification gets your attention, causing you to think about what that notification (text messages from family, email from a boss) actually means, sending your brain on a tangent that distracts from your primary goal. The results showed a surprisingly strong case for leaving your phone somewhere else when you want to perform well on a task. The two groups of participants who kept phones nearby either on a desk or in a bag showed lower working memory capacity (the ability to remember information temporarily) and a lower functional fluid intelligence (the ability to solve new problems and see patterns). Cognitive capacity increased the further removed participants were from their phones. Participants with phones in another room greatly outperformed those with phones in pockets or on desks in all tasks. So…are you still bringing your smartphone into the toilet with you? I bet you are! Me? I don’t even own a smartphone…I’m one of the rare human species that's still using the old stupid phone…no finger flicking and no finger tapping…just good old finger typing for anything I need to find! Hahaha.
  8. Hmmm...that's 25 Qs you've got there...and it pays only a 50x bet win! 15 Qs on Twin Spin would pay a 388x bet win! 25 Qs on Twin Spin would break the casino's bank...but there aren't any 25 Qs in Twin Spin...hahaha.
  9. Sharon dear, you must take some free time and read this article...then you can know and understand what Bitcoin, Blockchain and Cryptocurrency is. Just read those few paragraphs that explains each item, or you can read the entire abstract to get a better bigger picture. That goes for anyone else too...who don't quite know what those 3 words are all about...nope...I don't mean those 3 words of 'I love you'...and nope...not BBC either!
  10. There are so many of you that do not actually know how Bitcoin first came to life, or what cryptocurrency is, or what Blockchain is all about, so here’s a very interesting abstract from ‘Beyond the Bitcoin Bubble’: You can read the entire long article at this link from The New York Times Magazine: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/16/magazine/beyond-the-bitcoin-bubble.html?utm_source=pocket&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=pockethits By STEVEN JOHNSON JAN. 16, 2018 layer innocent nothing argue pottery winner cotton menu task slim merge maid The sequence of words is meaningless: a random array strung together by an algorithm let loose in an English dictionary. What makes them valuable is that they’ve been generated exclusively for me, by a software tool called MetaMask. In the lingo of cryptography, they’re known as my seed phrase. They might read like an incoherent stream of consciousness, but these words can be transformed into a key that unlocks a digital bank account, or even an online identity. It just takes a few more steps. On the screen, I’m instructed to keep my seed phrase secure: Write it down, or keep it in a secure place on your computer. I scribble the 12 words onto a notepad, click a button and my seed phrase is transformed into a string of 64 seemingly patternless characters: 1b0be2162cedb2744d016943bb14e71de6af95a63af3790d6b41b1e719dc5c66 This is what’s called a “private key” in the world of cryptography: a way of proving identity, in the same, limited way that real-world keys attest to your identity when you unlock your front door. My seed phrase will generate that exact sequence of characters every time, but there’s no known way to reverse-engineer the original phrase from the key, which is why it is so important to keep the seed phrase in a safe location. That private key number is then run through two additional transformations, creating a new string: 0x6c2ecd6388c550e8d99ada34a1cd55bedd052ad9 That string is my address on the Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum belongs to the same family as the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, whose value has increased more than 1,000 percent in just the past year. Ethereum has its own currencies, most notably Ether, but the platform has a wider scope than just money. You can think of my Ethereum address as having elements of a bank account, an email address and a Social Security number. For now, it exists only on my computer as an inert string of nonsense, but the second I try to perform any kind of transaction — say, contributing to a crowdfunding campaign or voting in an online referendum — that address is broadcast out to an improvised worldwide network of computers that tries to verify the transaction. The results of that verification are then broadcast to the wider network again, where more machines enter into a kind of competition to perform complex mathematical calculations, the winner of which gets to record that transaction in the single, canonical record of every transaction ever made in the history of Ethereum. Because those transactions are registered in a sequence of “blocks” of data, that record is called the blockchain. The whole exchange takes no more than a few minutes to complete. From my perspective, the experience barely differs from the usual routines of online life. But on a technical level, something miraculous is happening — something that would have been unimaginable just a decade ago. I’ve managed to complete a secure transaction without any of the traditional institutions that we rely on to establish trust. No intermediary brokered the deal; no social-media network captured the data from my transaction to better target its advertising; no credit bureau tracked the activity to build a portrait of my financial trustworthiness. The first hint of a meaningful challenge to the closed-protocol era arrived in 2008, not long after Zuckerberg opened the first international headquarters for his growing company. A mysterious programmer (or group of programmers) going by the name Satoshi Nakamoto circulated a paper on a cryptography mailing list. The paper was called “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System,” and in it, Nakamoto outlined an ingenious system for a digital currency that did not require a centralized trusted authority to verify transactions. At the time, Facebook and Bitcoin seemed to belong to entirely different spheres — one was a booming venture-backed social-media start-up that let you share birthday greetings and connect with old friends, while the other was a byzantine scheme for cryptographic currency from an obscure email list. But 10 years later, the ideas that Nakamoto unleashed with that paper now pose the most significant challenge to the hegemony of InternetTwo giants like Facebook. The paradox about Bitcoin is that it may well turn out to be a genuinely revolutionary breakthrough and at the same time a colossal failure as a currency. As I write, Bitcoin has increased in value by nearly 100,000 percent over the past five years, making a fortune for its early investors but also branding it as a spectacularly unstable payment mechanism. The process for creating new Bitcoins has also turned out to be a staggering energy drain. History is replete with stories of new technologies whose initial applications end up having little to do with their eventual use. All the focus on Bitcoin as a payment system may similarly prove to be a distraction, a technological red herring. Nakamoto pitched Bitcoin as a “peer-to-peer electronic-cash system” in the initial manifesto, but at its heart, the innovation he (or she or they) was proposing had a more general structure, with two key features. First, Bitcoin offered a kind of proof that you could create a secure database — the blockchain — scattered across hundreds or thousands of computers, with no single authority controlling and verifying the authenticity of the data. Second, Nakamoto designed Bitcoin so that the work of maintaining that distributed ledger was itself rewarded with small, increasingly scarce Bitcoin payments. If you dedicated half your computer’s processing cycles to helping the Bitcoin network get its math right — and thus fend off the hackers and scam artists — you received a small sliver of the currency. Nakamoto designed the system so that Bitcoins would grow increasingly difficult to earn over time, ensuring a certain amount of scarcity in the system. If you helped Bitcoin keep that database secure in the early days, you would earn more Bitcoin than later arrivals. This process has come to be called “mining.” The blockchain world proposes something different. Imagine some group like Protocol Labs decides there’s a case to be made for adding another “basic layer” to the stack. Just as GPS gave us a way of discovering and sharing our location, this new protocol would define a simple request: I am here and would like to go there. A distributed ledger might record all its users’ past trips, credit cards, favorite locations — all the metadata that services like Uber or Amazon use to encourage lock-in. Call it, for the sake of argument, the Transit protocol. The standards for sending a Transit request out onto the internet would be entirely open; anyone who wanted to build an app to respond to that request would be free to do so. Cities could build Transit apps that allowed taxi drivers to field requests. But so could bike-share collectives, or rickshaw drivers. Developers could create shared marketplace apps where all the potential vehicles using Transit could vie for your business. When you walked out on the sidewalk and tried to get a ride, you wouldn’t have to place your allegiance with a single provider before hailing. You would simply announce that you were standing at 67th and Madison and needed to get to Union Square. And then you’d get a flurry of competing offers. You could even theoretically get an offer from the M.T.A., which could build a service to remind Transit users that it might be much cheaper and faster just to jump on the 6 train. Like the original internet itself, the blockchain is an idea with radical — almost communitarian — possibilities that at the same time has attracted some of the most frivolous and regressive appetites of capitalism. We spent our first years online in a world defined by open protocols and intellectual commons; we spent the second phase in a world increasingly dominated by closed architectures and proprietary databases. We have learned enough from this history to support the hypothesis that open works better than closed, at least where base-layer issues are concerned. But we don’t have an easy route back to the open-protocol era. Some messianic next-generation internet protocol is not likely to emerge out of Department of Defense research, the way the first-generation internet did nearly 50 years ago. Yes, the blockchain may seem like the very worst of speculative capitalism right now, and yes, it is demonically challenging to understand. But the beautiful thing about open protocols is that they can be steered in surprising new directions by the people who discover and champion them in their infancy. Right now, the only real hope for a revival of the open-protocol ethos lies in the blockchain. Whether it eventually lives up to its egalitarian promise will in large part depend on the people who embrace the platform, who take up the baton, as Juan Benet puts it, from those early online pioneers. If you think the internet is not working in its current incarnation, you can’t change the system through think-pieces and F.C.C. regulations alone. You need new code.
  11. ...nice try mate...that is, if Lukas can trust you...or anyone else with HIS money!
  12. Well, The Legend Of Shangri-La Cluster Pays, in my personal opinion, is slightly better than that expressionist Aloha Totem Pole thing. As for Twin Spin Deluxe...I'll stick with the old original game anytime!
  13. Eluding detection for the use of VPN is okay...but the depositing part cannot be avoided...it must be done by the registered account holder...otherwise, some other improper manipulation may need to be use, which not only breaks the casino rules, but also include collusion, and probably even criminal activities! It may be an easy way to earn money from someone...but...it just doesn't seem right!
  14. Okay, so you managed to use VPN without the casino detecting it...but how about the depositing part? You cannot change the registered Neteller account...so do you send the money to that person's Neteller account and ask the person to make the deposit? Or do you register another Neteller account? One person can only have one Neteller account!
  15. Hi Lukas. If you are asking who would want to make easy money from online casinos, I guess ALL of us would want to! Hahaha. But of course, what seems to be an easy task...is actually an almost impossible thing to do! There are many reasons for saying that, but just let me point out 1 or 2 reasons for starters... Firstly, anyone can open a new account, get it verified, ready for you to use it. However, the casino, any casino, isn't a stupid bloke! Hahaha. The person who registered that new account uses his/her own personal IP address, based on his/her country and location. When you try to log into the casino, using that person's account and login details, you are logging in from your country, with an IP address different from that registered. Chances are you won't be able to log in, simply because the casino's system would detect a different IP being used by you and therefore deny you to log in! Secondly, only the registered person can make a deposit or withdrawal from that account. You cannot make a deposit because the account isn't under your name! Hehehe. Yes, you can send the money to the person to make a deposit on your behalf...but can you trust that person??? Never mind about the other reasons...those 2 are already sufficient to prevent you from doing what you want to do! The thing is, Lukas, you are not the first person to want to do such a thing! I personally have been blocked out of a few casinos for winning too much too...just like you...and I too have tried to find a way to get back into that casino, but without any success. Casinos can detect your IP address, and they can detect when you are using a VPN service too - either way, the casino's system would deny a login! If there's a logical, legal way to do it, I certainly would want to do it! Hahaha.
  16. That, my dear, is typical of all Play'nGo games! When they are cold, they can go hundreds of spins without giving anything decent...but when they are hot, they are saying "PLAY...WIN...and GO!!!" You just have to catch them when they are hot... Most other providers games..."PLAY...PLAY...and CRY!!!"
  17. A deposit bonus is nothing but for fun??? That is a totally outrageous and an absolutely ridiculous term!!! This must be a RTG casino...they always have ridiculous terms!!!
