I lost 0.0015 BTC because i played betting game and now i lost 0.0015 BTC. I will not play betting games again

Sorry to hear, man.   

Cloud mining and HYIP are probably the biggest scams in Bitcoin/Crypto right now.

Pay you for a few cycles, then either change terms, raise rates, or up and leave at the drop of dime and claim wallet hack.

Tried investing in pbmining. All my coins are gone now...

I lost some money trading in April 2014 when it went down to $400 and started quickly going up to the 600s. Bought in somewhere along the way and had about a month to sell it with profit, but ended up holding until it went down below $500 and never recovered. It wasn't a big loss maybe $1000, but it could've been twice that on the positive if I sold for $680. No regrets

I lost 0.002btc on sports bet today. Just not so happy about it, but I enjoy it . Just fun.

in the old days he means

You have very nice computer. 3-4 Btc / day... A dream

It is obvious that bitcoin will never be  used or better replace the FIAT values  (mainstream). It will stay only a valid and good alternative to send large quantity of money with the lowest fee in the world (and most important 'fastest' only a click ....and it's gone). People accustomed to fiat currency and especially at the banks, and most people don't know how to use a computer (and we want that they should start use bitcoin ).

Wow so you have a advanced computer or latest computer so you can mined. Can i ask? What do you do to your btc.  Hahaha i only  curious.

I didnt buy, it was mined =)
Back then, mining on 3GH/s worth of GPU's made 3-4BTC /day

40 BTC is a shitton. At what price did you guys that have 50+BTC buy? you must have been legit early adopters.

Tried 50 keys active during that time. only one of them has clams. not even worth my time, since its my daily driver and signature address

Not at all. I didn't have many old addresses but it worked fine every time.

Make sure the address is empty just to be sure. Go to just-dice and click on the chat box.

In the chat box type /dig youraddress to see if it was funded. Then type in /dig youraddress yourprivatekey to get the Clams, or maybe just the private key. I can't remember. 

Hey presto Clams arrive at your just-dice wallet in about 5-10 minutes then withdraw to Poloniex and sell. You don't need a just-dice account but you'd need to stay on the page until it can be withdrawn.

You ain't got nothing to lose by trying with an old address as long as you still have the private key. If it was funded before May 12th 2014 they'll be waiting for you.

Someone told me about this before, but i never tried it. seems like BS to me.

It only takes a few minutes and if you have a lot of addresses it'll add up quickly. You're getting 0.03 BTC per address at the moment. Make sure your address is empty though just to be safe.

Maybe I should stop to gamble by bitcoin



Yes I have a lot of address of 2011-2012, I will see if I can claim these CLAMS.

I've lost 0.56 on gambling, 0.1 in Ponzi and much more

Lost btc learning the alt game.

So far, no losses.  I haven't been hacked, I haven't been scammed, and I've gambled only at very short odds against people making really stupid bets - I have won every time so far. 

That said, I am at least a little bit crazy (Diagnosed as "monopolar depressive and incompletely socialized", for those who care about such things), and while this helps me not get scammed and hacked, it also helps me lose out on a lot of things that could be good. 

Part of not being scammed is seeing the worst possible motivations for pretty much every communication people make.  My depressive mind sort of assumes people with an investment opportunity are almost always scamming.  As a result I miss out on things that turn out to be good investments as well as things that turn out to be scams.  F'rexample I was one of the first ten people who ever heard about Bitcoin, even reviewed the code before it launched, could have CPU mined thousands and thousands back in the day, and I didn't have a thing to do with it until four years later.  D'oh!

And part of not being hacked is not keeping bitcoins on anything that's electronic and hooked up to the Internet, not running browser scripts (which breaks about half the sites out there), not using a mail client that has clickable links or automates calendar functionality or shows HTML mail, and not installing programs or browser extensions that aren't from one of my three or four trusted sources, even if they seem interesting and useful, on my networked machine.  So I also miss out on a fair amount of what's "normal and useful" by keeping my networked machine secure.

You have either been lucky or clever because i too have lost a fair few bitcoin, mainly altcoin investments and gambling gone very wrong or just got carried away and not paying attention to the signs> if something seems to good to be true then it usually is. So many scams and schemes took awhile for me to realize. Total losses at a underestimate guess 10btc at the value of $500+
