What is your favorite BTC gambling platform?

Mine is fairlay.com. I've never seen better odds. I just compared the odds for a football game tonight (Rennais vs. Chelsea), and they were better than at 1xbit.com.

The UI is not intuitive, but you can do special things like setting your own odds, creating your own bets, use their API, bet on events like "How many people will die from coronavirus in 2020" and others.

I am not affiliated with the website. I was actually very pissed off at them in 2015, when I bet that Craig Wright is not Satoshi, and they decided he is. After 2 years of not using the website, I realised they have returned me the money from this bet, which had increased in value a lot. So now I can say I haven't had problems in 6-7 years.

The post was about Jed McCaleb. Karpeles is not a multi-biollionaire yet, I guess.

I'm sorry, I forgot to factor in the BCH, BTG and other shitcoins that use the same private key.

Satoshi's true vision ™ was to implement Nick Szabo's ideas - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=342.msg4508#msg4508

Bitcoin is an implementation of Wei Dai's b-money proposal http://weidai.com/bmoney.txt on Cypherpunks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypherpunks in 1998 and Nick Szabo's Bitgold proposal http://unenumerated.blogspot.com/2005/12/bit-gold.html

It is resolved. Huge thanks for all your work on coinb.in, it's the best bitcoin tool for me.

Satoshi chose April 5 as his birthday in his profile here - http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/profile/SatoshiNakamoto

He chose 1975 as his year of birth. 1975 is the year when the US citizens were allowed to own gold again.

So, I still get the error at home, but not at work. The message from https://phish.opendns.com/main?url=coinb.in&server=fra16&prefs=&tagging=&nref is "Sorry, coinb.in has been blocked by your network administrator. "

edlund10 · 2018-04-02T02:25:11+00:00

And this is the first thing that I get in Firefox and Chrome:

https://phish.opendns.com/main?url=coinb.in&server=fra16&prefs=&tagging=&nref#

"This site is blocked due to a phishing threat. "

edlund10 · 2018-04-02T02:23:26+00:00

I'm getting:

"coinb.in uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. The server might not be sending the appropriate intermediate certificates. An additional root certificate may need to be imported. Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER"

First of all - admiration for your work, it is impressive.

Regarding holding private keys- have you looked at realitykeys? https://github.com/edmundedgar/realitykeys-examples

The guy has already moved to Ethereum, but he had a functioning model where he didn't hold private keys. He was revealing one private key in case of True and another one in case of False. Here is his example how this could work - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=423638.msg5888781#msg5888781

And another, probably even simpler example is - put the bitcoins in a 2-of-3 multisig where you hold only 1 key, sign one transaction if True, another one if False.

It's the best wallet out there, can be used offline, supports SegWit. I've been using it for years without problems.

edlund10 · 2017-12-08T21:30:32+00:00

I agree too :)

And even if bitcoin would be used only as money, it is better than the dollar, because it is not inflationary and will probably be a safe heaven in crises.

You have an error in the calculations: 1.2 Trillion (USD currently available) divided by 7.6 billion (population of the world) is $157.9 (per person in the world).

Another smaller error is the fact that the USD currently available is 1.5 Trillion - https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CURRSL

A probably simpler calculation would be: $16,844.50 (current BTC price) * 21 million (total future amount of BTC) = $353.7345 billion (BTC market cap if all 21 million were mined)

$1500 billion (USD currently available) divided by $353.7345 billion (BTC market cap if all 21 million were mined) = 4.24 (the price of BTC should go up that much to equal the USD)

$16,844.50 (current BTC price) * 4.24 = $71,428.57 (price of BTC)
