Nice, I love the work you are doing.

What exactly was you speech about? As this seems to be some kind of Gaming Conference.

PROTIP: the 5th floor Spa at the Rio casino

You will not be sorry.  You hardworkin' fellas could use some "relaxation".  Enjoy your stay.   :-)

That is awesome to hear. The poker world already is fairly well informed about it:

Great to hear after heading over to BCP. Ha ha. The cash outs within a day. That was cash in hand right? That's faster than the confirmation of a wu transaction from Lock. Never playing Merge/Lock again. Satisfied with bitcoin Poker.

And yes I like the freeroll on the site. Wednesday night dondown freeroll is one of the best structure for a freeroll tournament.

This actually sounds like a really novel idea and I like the fact that BTC is like the stock market - the value can fluctuate depending on the volume and what people think it's worth.  Pretty awesome concept imo - I cannot wait to buy some BTCs of my own and start playing on SWC.  It would be awesome to own a currency that is not affected by fiscal policy and the FED as much as USD.

no chance the DOJ will "freeze" the Bitcoin currency anytime soon. They can go after processors, as a matter of fact, don't you think the DOJ is on the heals of that JBLService that can be shut down at any second?

The DOJ doesn't have the resources to stop the BTC currency. I have stopped my pokering on sites such as Lock/Merge. At SWC, we don't complain about anything really but life (which is normal) but we don't complain about our poker withdrawals/transfers.

It is a breath of freash air. BTC rules!!! for US Poker. It's easy to buy in at SWC. A bank account, cash, GDMP, PayPal (urgh...But we can do it), Amazon card. Whatever you have currency on. I was wondering if a Starbucks Card would work. Well I would consider purchasing Starbucks with my bitcoin (it's just a matter of time).
