so let's take one of the most popular crypto+online casinos, stake.com. they use their curaco license for most countries it operates, but they also operate in the UK which requires them to be licensed by the UKGC. i believe if you can show them video proof that the casino was "skewing odds" even for a non-UK account, i think they'd be interested in hearing about this.

They're not playing on a normal consumer account, it's just a marketing event that has been organised between the streamer and the casino. You're doing the "Twitch gambling stream" equivalent of "it can't be that stupid, I must be misunderstanding it". It's the gambling equivalent of an exhibition match where the actual outcome is bullshit from the very bottom to the very top.

my homie in college kept a thing of gas in his garage cause people kept knocking on the door asking for money for gas. so of course when he finally said "oh perfect I have gas here and I can take you to your car!" they would alway decline and say they actually just needed some money.

not sure why his home was such a hotbed for homeless people knocking. one time a dude just walked in (screen door was closed but door open) and started drinking from empty beer bottles on the table and we had to tell him to leave.

Crypto hack, lost everything.

A friend of mine got me interested in investing in cryto currency. Back in the day a few gains got me super excited so I decided to invest more into it.

Two days ago I had my cryto wallet hacked into and emptied. I lost everything. The client that I used (Newton) removed access to my account and ghosted me when I asked for help. With the account now unable to be accessed and no help coming from Newton I went to the police. I had nothing to show them though since I no longer had access to the account, not even a report could be filed.

My savings are gone. It took the hacker 6 minutes to empty everything (I could see it all on the blockchain) and there is seemingly no course of action. I feel like there is no one to turn to or help which is truely a scary feeling. 6 minutes drastically changed my future.

This post has two intentions:

1. if anyone has any ideas or has some experience with this, please please reach out. Even just a sympathetic story or anecdote would help me feel a little better

And

1. please protect yourselves out there everyone. I would gladly go through this if it meant that others wouldn’t have to, but I know it will absolutely happen again. Strong passwords, changed passwords, proper online hygiene, and think security first. Please stay safe so this doesnt happen to you.

Let’s see how the sympathetic minds of crypto respond.

The “I lost everything too (btw crypto is good)” club:

:gonk:

quote:

Sorry for your loss, if it makes you feel any better I have around 50k stuck in voyager, and 15k in Celsius. So I’m definitely with you, it hurts in the beginning, but the sooner you come to terms with your loss the sooner you can start to rebuild what you had.

:ohdear:

quote:

Post on the r/newtonco subreddit, they havent made a statement regarding any compromise to their security but youre likely to get some attention there seeing as their support isnt the best

That being said Newton was never designed to be a custodial wallet, its why they make onramps/transfers so user friendly. If youre going to continue using it buy your stuff there and ship it the hell out. Use an authenticator app and face id and everything else u can for logins.

I lost alot on celsius, but if youre going to keep stuff on exchanges use multiple and spread your risk and do as many security measures as possible

And the “you suck, actually”:

:o:

quote:

These stories are incredible. I’m convinced anyone that got their wallets “hacked” have a room temperature IQ

:reject:

quote:

Because they weren’t hacked lol; 99 percent of the time its goobers giving access to a third party. They then come here and claim hackz0rz out of embarrassment or ignorance.

You're absolutely describing a magician. A lot of stuff that ends up as magic started as cheats for card games. Hell, one of the seminal works of slight-of-hand, Erdinase's The Expert at the Card Table, really started as a book on how to cheat and/or spot cheaters (though the magic aspect takes over quickly).
