This is the collective account for the Blockpoker Team | Please use this to contact us



It's been a couple months now since I took over Smartchips, and right then it did not feel that great.
People did not show very much faith, and I can understand it considering the circumstances.
Even though I moved away from Smartchip as the coin, I feel like I have kept my word towards the community, with the distribution model for BP.
(If you was an investor in smartchips, you can swap your SC for BP. 600 million out of 800 million is going towards the Smartchips investors. Swap your coins here. (http://www.blockpoker.org/#!smartchips-coinswap/mb432))

It was not easy for me in the start, as I promised to always be honest about the situation my project was in.
Because of it, the enthusiasm was not there, and it was understandable.
That's why I went dark, so I could focus all my energy and focus on establishing a team and start building the client.
From there it took off. Niklas came along and helped me out with development, and he did a great job. I probably wouldnt have been successful if it was not for him.
Dustin also came a long and joined us. He helped Kenneth with the marketing part.
It basically became a two part team, where me and Niklas was working on the client. And Dustin & Kenneth was taking care of the website, graphics and putting together a solid plan for when the client was ready.

They have more then filled my expectations with the website and everything else they have been cooking together, but even if my faith is there. It could never hurt with more help.
So if you want to take part in our project and help us out, please share the video under here to your non-crypto fans and share the flyer to your crypto friends.

I got involved when a couple scammers started smartchips and took me and some other guys for a lot of money.
Then kevin & Kenneth came along and took over the project with zero promises a couple months ago.
They went dark after a little while and I thought that was that, but so glad to see that you guys have actually pulled through!!!

My faith as been a little bit restored in this scene now, and glad I held my chips even if you guys went dark.
Now I can participate in the distribution week.

And if you ever need help with something (not development, I am no developer), I will do whatever I can to help out.

Thanks for your interest.

Could you be a little more specific about that issue?
Because I don't really see a benefit to inflating the coin supply to satisfy people holding smartchips.

If BP had the exact same amount as Smartchips, they could switch for 1:1. Now they can switch 1:545.
In fact, people holding smartchips could argue that we have taken some coins away from them since 200 million is going to distribution week and funding the BP | Bank.
But I would be shocked if anyone did so, I think everybody understand the importance of this.

Now, back to the coin supply.
The only reason we have made it much bigger is to fit better with the poker aspect. Where 1.5 million would be very very little.
In fact, I wanted the coin amount to be higher, but I lost that debate  :D

Need to do more research before commenting fully on this.
However, the blockpoker website is by far the best designed and informative website for a brand new coin I have ever seen.
Showing me that you guys have put some serious effort into this.
There is also a huge need for a pokerservice built on blockchain technology, so there is some opportunity here.

Will research the team & the history behind this a little more before I can put my money on you guys.
But a long time since I have felt this kind of excitement for a altcoin project before. So 1+.



And to those over me calling people shills, go home.
Isnt it allow to compliment people when they have done a good job on something?
All I see is people showing interest over this and saying they have a made a nice website.
If you disagree and don't like it, or dont see a point about a decentralized pokerservice. Feel free to debate, but come on, this forum has so much negativity.

Post by: Blockpoker Team on December 12, 2015, 10:43:02 PM
loving the enthusiasm. But im a little confused.

Where is the BP coin, like where can I buy? Bittrex, poloniex, c-cex etc..
What's this about a smartchips takeover?
If there is no rake, what do you guys earn by this?
Sorry if I am a little bit slow  :D

Nono, you are not slow! Thanks for your interest Sasha.
We have tried to be as clear as possible about all, but I understand it can be little bit hard grasp the whole history.

Let me try my best to explain :)

BP will come when the poker-service comes online. (When the download page gets active, which happens first day of 2016)
We will then contact those exchanges you have listed and chose one to be our official exchange. (I would think everybody would like to add us after they have tried our technology for themselves)
You can then buy from that one, or you can buy from the BP | Bank, which will also get active first day of 2016.

That's what makes Blockpoker groundbreaking, the rake aspect.
While we don't make any money from it, the BP | Bank will be able to make us some kind of money if we go really big. Right now we only have 1% fee, but it may increase to 2-3% when we have a large base.
In addition, the team get's 80 million BP to start of funding the bank and to pay back the expenses the team has had + the future expenses we will run into, like advertising.

Let me know if you have anything more to ask and I'll be happy to answer them.

Really excited about this project. I am a former poker player and will for sure give this site a go on the launch day.
Decentralized poker+ zero rake is huge.

I have one question about the BP Bank. Why did you choose to offer a fixed value for BP coins?
This leads to two problems. If the price on exchanges is lower than 100 sat per coin people will just buy coins from the exchanges instead of BP Bank making you lose on the fees. On the other hand if BlockPoker gets really big the value of Bpcoins can't go higher than 100 sat a coin because of the fixed value.

I would personally like to see BP Bank to follow exchange prices so we could avoid these two problems.

Thanks for your interest Timeline, and great that you are ready to play! I know it's new years and the days after can have some busy days.
But I will encourage you to make as much time as possible to play in our distribution week (1-7Jan), where we will be distributing 120 million BP to those that sit and play at our tables.

Now, that's an excellent questions which I actually hoped someone would ask. I'll try to explain this method we have chosen as best as possible.

A big problem with altcoins (even bitcoin) is the volatility, which I think most of us in here will agree on.
So that was always in the teams heads when we were forming everything around Blockpoker.
We decided on a fixed value in the BP Bank for that specific problem. It will keep the stability to our currency. Which is very important in every currency, but maybe ever more important for the poker concept.
Nobody want's to deposit 100$ worth of BP, sit down and triple your BP and then realize you only get 250$ back when withdrawing because the value of the currency has gone down.
This fixed value will create a high stability on the market, making players able to withdraw the same worth as they put in.

There is other concerns here, which you address yourself. If Blockpoker gets such a large base that the demand for BP becomes to high for the bank to handle.
That's why the 100 sat fixed value is not set in stone, it can be changed. If the BP Bank experiences to much demand in BP, price will be set up. If it experiences to much demand in Bitcoin withdraws, price will be set down. (But with low amounts to keep stability, 10% up/down or so, those values will need to be perfected when the time comes.)
And the market will then follow the values that gets set to some degree.
You may ask what's even the point with trading BP on the market. But I would say that there is a huge reason to trade BP on the market when we become so big that the things above apply. Traders would trade on how they believe Blockpoker is doing (Is there a rise in players, or a decline?), and if they are right, the profit will come when the Bank raise/lower the value. It will be much more like the real world, and not surrounding the usual crypto pumps & dumps we all have witnessed countless times.

Now, this method is something we believe will be very successful. However, it's not set in stone and we could change the bank to follow the market.
It would be wonderful to have a debate around this current topic, so if you have some points and opinions you would like to put forward, I encourage you to do so.

Hope I explained myself alraight Timeline, if something is unclear or you have counterpoints please come with it :)

So you are giving out free BP on Jan 1, do people have to win at poker to receive coins or are you giving them out? What's stopping multiple wallets getting more than one person?
And I'm definitely joining on Jan 1  ;D 


Title: Re: [ANN][BP] Blockpoker | First Poker-Service Built on Blockchain Technology
Post by: kindcrypto on December 13, 2015, 06:19:56 PM
I'll put my opinion out there..
I think the fixed value is a smart move. A currency needs stability to survive like a human needs water to survive.
The Bank with it's fixed value can hopefully bring this to bp.
And to the trading aspect. I would much rather trade a coin on how its performing in real life, then on hype and what the wales will do.

First of, great that you are joining us at Jan 1! :)

Second, yes you can say we are giving away free. But I would prefer to just call it a distribution round, where we make the distribution of BP more equal :)
The way it will be handled is a little complicated, but will explain it as easily as possible.

There will be this algorithm running between 1-7 Jan, where it calculates the time a player sits & play at one of our tables.
It will then take the total amount of coins that will be distributed that day and divide it between players at the rate they have played.
There will be no way of cheating this, as you have to play to get a portion of the distribution pot.
Making more accounts will not do any difference.
To clarify more, you will get a larger portion if you play at more tables then one. You will also get a larger portion the higher stakes you play.

Again, it's a little complicated but I think you get the general idea and I promise it will be as fair as it can possibly be.
The more you play and the more you play with, the more of the distribution pot you will get, it's as simple as that for the player :)

Happy to do it :)

I have a good message for you, there will be Omaha!
We will be offering cash games with Hold'em & Omaha at different stakes, and some guaranteed tournaments as well (not many considering we can't achieve same amount of players in so short time compared to what the general sites have now)
More formats will come with time, but thats low priority at this moment.

Freerolls are not in the plans at this moment, but it has been discussed between us before.
We felt like there was enough "giveaways" with the distribution week.
However, if that's something many people would like to have. We could arrange that. So shout out if that's something you would like to see :)
We would need to take some BP from the original distribution pot and put it towards a couple freerolls :)

Our goal is 5000 within the end of 2015. It will be hard, but we have some advertising rolled up our sleeve, so hope we can accomplish it.

Don't forget to share it to your friends and tell them about the distribution week. We would really appreciate it.

Thanks for the detailed answers, was wondering about a couple of the things that other people asked myself.
A couple freerolls would be fun and I think good for the launch aswell as people that dont have money to buy BP or people that is uncertain about buying BP can try out the service at no cost :)

Just had to comment and say that I love that video of blockpoker you have made.
People should check it out if they have not already :) - https://vimeo.com/147887130 (https://vimeo.com/147887130)

I think it would have been better with a real voice though.
In fact, I have helped out a friend with something of the same in the past.
Not that I am proffesional or anything, but if you are interested I could record in those lines and you can edit the video  ;D

Thanks for that! It took a good amount of hours to make, but it was worth it in the end :)

Could not agree with you more! A real voice would be better.
I tried to do it myself, but it did not sound good. Guess I don't got the voice for it.
But if you are good and have done something like this before, I think it can be great!

So thanks for the offer, and I will follow you up on it. Shooting you a PM right now!

Title: Re: [ANN][BP] Blockpoker | First Poker-Service Built on Blockchain Technology
Post by: CryptoBeauty on December 15, 2015, 12:11:34 AM
Came over this project yesterday, and must say, it is interesting. In more then a couple of ways, really.
After some research, I have found some important stuff out. But to be honest, still not 100% sure if I should get involved in this yet.

First of, let's look at the numbers. Because they are what drives me towards getting involved here before 2016.

Blockpokers bank is selling out BP at a rate of 100 sat, and the total supply is 800,000,000.
Investors of smartchips, the coin that the developer started out this project with after he took it over, is right now worth around 5,000 sat on the C-Cex. Smartchips has a total supply of 1,500,000.

800,000,000 x 100 sat = 800 btc marketcap.
1,500,000 x 5,000 sat = 75 btc marketcap.

Smartchips worth if the bank will be able to sell BP at the current fix rate is around 50,000 sat

But it gets way more interesting then that.
Because smartchips has gone through much shit, and the dev went right on building blockpoker after he had taken over smartchips so he never gave out a new working wallet. (The scammers did not bother creating one after taking it over from another project..)
This can translate into a massive amount of coins that have been "lost". Either in wallets, or users who are not active anymore.
Impossible to tell how many, but I believe its reasonable to guess only around half of the coins will be swapped into BP.

Resulting in a big burn of the BP supply.
I am stretching this and it will most likely not be so insane, but if I am somewhat correct 1 smartchip could be worth 100,000 sat. (x20)
This is based on IF the bank will be able to sell out at the current rate (100sat).

So why am I and others not buying like crazy?
It's the legitimacy problem of course. We can't know this service will be as good as promised and that they will be able to sell out at 100 sat.
If we could, this would be a no brainer. I guess it's a little gambling with a high risk/reward.

I would also like to share some of the interesting things I found about the history of this and the developer.
As stated before, when he first started on this some months ago, he did not give any promises. Except that he would put his heart into it, and maybe he would be successful. And was very clear that it would take time and that it most likely was to big of a task for him.
Now, this gives me some reason to think he is a honest guy, and therefore believe in it. Though, I am not 100% there yet..

I want to empahzise that I did not write this to shill, and I do highly recommend you to do the same research I did before even thinking about putting any money in.
I just wanted to give my thoughts and provide others with some perspective on it.
Now, many would say: Don't bother, just wait until 2016 and see what has become of it.
And I can agree with it if you want to be safe, but one of the reasons I am into altcoins is because of financial gain. As most are even if many won't admit it.

Thanks for reading, and lets all hope this turns out positive!

will players looking to get "free distribution" from Jan1 - Jan7 need to purchase BP from the bank or have traded in "Smartchips" to get a positive balance to begin play? As in Jan1-Jan7 free play with distribution of real BP, or must use real BP to receive distribution.

NO WAY!! What makes you think something like that? Is it the overeager newbie accounts saying how good of an idea and coin this looks like? Or is it the fact that almost all of them were all registered on the same day??? Dec.9th, 2015 LOL I mean just a thought but if I was going to make a bunch of accounts to hype a coin I would take my time register them like a week or two weeks apart, slowly build them up with posts throughout other coin threads kind of get people feeling common to seeing those names in coins threads then when they were up to Jr. member or Members then I would release my coin idea and get those accounts to hype (but not so much it just seems really hard like they are trying to sell the idea) the coin. That's just my thoughts on that though.  I mean for all I know all those newbie accounts are all different people who all just happened to have registered those accounts all on the same day and just happened to all want to post in the same coins thread talking about how great of an idea and concept that coin was right???? I mean it is Crypto so stranger things have happened :D Cheers

Oh just for the record I'm not bashing this coin or the ideas that the people behind it have come up with just simply pointing out what may possibly be throwing people off this lucrative investment opportunity ;)

You must admit, an idea like this is truly priceless if it ever works and gets big. Think of the 100's of millions that the poker sites make today in rake on a yearly scale. As a poker player myself I dont normally consider rake as a loss because I normally win when I play, but if I think back to all the rakes on the won pots that I've missed out in over the last 10 years it would probably add up to around 100K. Id be the first in line to sign up and play no rake poker on a large scale.

I did not check when all these accounts was created, if you are right then it does smell a bit fishy but also, keep in mind that with the recent price rise in bitcoin the forum is probably going to get flooded with new accounts and new people only coming into bitcoin now.

Well one thing I've learned about threads with tons of newbie accounts praising the coin's glory is that 99% of the time the people controlling those newbie accounts usually don't think about someone checking when they registered the accounts and usually they are all the same day or a day or two apart lol And like I stated in my first statement don't get me wrong maybe miraculously I could be wrong and all the newbie accounts could be all different people that just happened to register all their accounts on the same day but I mean if you think realistically about the whole thing the obvious answer is that probably all the accounts are controlled by one at the most maybe two different people :) But like I said I could be wrong it is Crypto and stranger things have definitely happened lol

Good day all!

I can see that everybody in here agree about the big potential for our project, and that's great!
However, I also acknowledge the negativity. I thought I would address it, because I had hopes that Blockpoker could start of different then how the majority of projects start of here in Bitcointalk.

First of, the whole reason why we announced this before the service got online was to have people lined up to play at our tables. We have a well detailed plan on how to achieve that, and it will be noticed in the next two weeks.
But it may have been a wrong decision and we should have just waited until we dropped the service to announce Blockpoker. Time will tell.

I see that the criticism comes because people say there is a financial opportunity with smartchips.
The reason we distribute the BP to smartchips investors was because those investors put their money on me, and I could not let them down and go a different route when distributing the coin, it would have been wrong.

Honestly, I can't see why those that invested in my work would want to part now right before the launch. I personally can't understand why they put their money up when I promised them nothing but hard work, and they part with that investment right before I am finished.
But that's really not my buisness, people can do whatever pleases them.
To add another point, if you believe I am just lying or this is some kind of setup, then don't buy anything.
I still wish you would follow Blockpoker and try out our service on 1.1.16 or later on though, and if you are pleased with our service you can then buy from the bank.

On the note about these users that post positive comments, Blockpoker has no connection to them.
Maybe they just like our project, or maybe there is a group who is working together for some kind of reason. I personally have no idea.

It might be a little unprofessional to even comment on these things, but I really don't want Blockpoker to start of with a big negative vibe around it.
Therefore I took a little time out to address this. I will now go back to finishing up our service, there is missing a few touches before it's complete but it will be done before 1.1, that I am 100% positive of.
In a couple of days one in the team will also write up a bit in our news section with some answers to the different questions we have received in here and on email, there will also be some good to know information that we have not been detailed enough about before.
So stay tuned for that, and have a great day everybody! :)

Kevin

To play at our tables on 1-7 Jan you will need have BP, yes.
Those can easily be purchased via our BP | Bank.

Smartchip investors will be able to swap our their share for BP right after the service comes out and they can get a BP address. So they will be able to play without going to our bank.

We have also been suggested to have a couple freeroll tournaments for people that don't want to pay to try our service, which we are considering.
But those that play in these will not be able to receive BP from the distribution pot. To do that, you need to play in one of our real money games like cash games or guaranteed tournaments.
However, it will be possible to win some BP in the freeroll (if we decide to have that) that then can be used to play those modes.

Hope to see you in the first week of 2016! :)

This! This is way I find this project so interesting.
Its as you say, if it works and gets big there is a huge market to fill. And if it works I cant really see it not going big over time.

I would be right behind you in that line toy4lov3rs!

I dont think it will work tho so I'm passing. But good luck to everyone else.

Wonder how many smartchips are still left..
Would guess a lot of them have been lost over time, due to all it has been through, and that the wallet is not active anymore.

It would not surprise me if if only half of the coins get swapped  :D

The isotope(Smartchips) wallet and network is still active.  I am running 2 of the 3 full nodes functioning today.

We have received a couple emails asking if everything is going okay and on schedule, since we have been a little silent.
I would like to point out it has not been a long time since last post, but I love the enthusiasm!

If there are more out there that was wondering the same, yes everything is going good.
Since I am between jobs (much of the reason I was able to develop Blockpoker), I have many hours of the day to work on our service.
The days that will come after today will be mainly used to double check everything, making sure that every function works as it should.
It's highly important to me and for this project as a whole that we can get a smooth and fault free launch.

The others have jobs and do not have that much time during work days, but its the weekend and christmas now, so you will see them getting more active in the next days with bringing the service out to people.
Creating a larger community and more attention to our launch and distribution week.

No worries, I am happy to give out some details about this again :)

The BP wallet is integrated into our poker software, therefore nobody will be able to get a BP address before the launch day.
On 1/1-16 you can instantly swap your smartchips, but until then you have to keep on to them.
However, if there is a reason you can't swap during the swapping face and need to do it before, we can arrange something. So contact us and we will do everything we can to help you out!

Hope this covers it, please bring on more questions if you should have some.

I must admit that I was one of those people asking if everything is on schedule. Nice to hear that everything is ok.  :)
Will you guys be making a whitepaper explaining the technology behind Block Poker? It could be just a couple pages explaining the basics.
You should also do a thread on two plus two forum. If I am not mistaken it's bigger forum than Bitcointalk and totally poker related.

As far as I know, whitepaper is not on our priority list.
It has been mentioned but none of us saw it as really important, but maybe Kevin have plans to write up something in the future. He will need to answer this himself.

When it comes to the poker forums as you suggest Timeline, that is in the works as I type.
Don't know if you where the guy suggesting it to us on an email, but it was a great idea and we have started to look into some poker related forums where we can bring our service out to more people.
Updates/links regarding that will come here shortly, stay tuned  :D

Got a PM today asking me if I was interested in taking over another coin.

Was not rude in reply, but that attitude annoyed me.
Smartchips was a special situation. It was the concept that dragged me in and pushed me over the edge to build something I always had a dream of building.
I will never take over another coin, and hopefully Blockpoker becomes so successful that I will never be involved with another coin.

Just a heads up to others that might be thinking of asking the same, and to those that have it in their mind that I am going around and taking over coins.

Over to something more positive,
some announcements of our project will be dropped on poker boards today.
Get ready for some traffic :)

Twoplusstwo - Announcment

We have posted our announcment on twoplusstwo.
With almost 500,000 members and an insanly high traffic, we expect a lot of new traffic towards Blockpoker.
No one else in there can offer them this technology with zero rake.


Note* You need a half year old account to post in marketplace. If anyone wants to help us out and post about Blockpoker on the forum, and has an account that is able to do so, please contact us!

We have posted our announcement on Cardschat.
Cardschat is a growing poker board, with very straightforward and easy use. Over 150,000 members and high traffic.
We are still the only one that can offer them 0% rake, so hopefully members will get interested in Blockpoker pretty easy.

Good idea with these poker boards. There are tons of them and they are very active.
So it can be a good way to reach out to players and get them ready to play in distribution week.

I agree 100% It's important to reach out to poker players via these forums. I think that zero rake and decentralized poker should appeal to many poker players out there.

Distribution week is closing in fast, market going up and players starting to be afraid they need to purchase BP from the bank which will probably cost them 7-8x more then it will now.
Yeah, I think 10k will be broken pretty easy, haha  ;)

Twoplusstwo.com and Cardschat banned our posts.

Our announcments was taken down, the forums though it was spam and did not like it.
It sucks, as I am sure there are many there that would find our service very interesting!


Of course we dont give up that easily, so we have tried again with a different approach.
Registrering with a normal pokername (Blockpoker's username on pokerforums is threeplusstwo) and just informing in our thread about Blockpoker without promoting it.
Basically acting as a poker player.
It's not the preffered way to go, but I think its the only way to get our service out to these forums for free.
In the future when we have some capital it will be much more easy for us to reach out to these players with paid advertisments and other methods.

You can help with that if you reply on the topic.


Seeking experienced people in the pokerboard field


None of us really have to much experience with these boards and don't have old accounts to post with or know the best methods to bring our service on these boards.
If you do and are willing to help us out, we are prepared to give out some BP rewards to those that do.
Even if you don't have to much experience and just have some spare time, you can go around different poker boards and talk about Blockpoker and get rewards in BP.
Amounts will be determined individually but we can assure it's worth your time, so please contact us if you are interested.

Yes I see this :/
I can't really understand it, it was just a user asking for opionins. They shouldnt really delete such things.
But they will be contacted today/tomorrow, and we will be going on other forums and posting. Not giving up :)

Remember our offer about BP rewards for helping out with spreading Blockpoker on poker forums, it will be worth your time.

No mining. There will be a maximum of 800 million Blockpoker coins, this amount can be lower though
if not all Chips are swapped for BP coins.

I would hold if I were you. BP gives much better rate. I am personally holding for long term, I honestly believe
BP can reach prices way above 100 sat. It doesn't imo even take that many active players on the site. We have to remember that
this is the first decentralized poker client with zero rake. Those things should attract at least some kind of player base quite quickly.
Anyways these are just my opinions not an investment advice  ;D

Hello!

Yesterday I saw a post on cardschat mentioning blockpoker. Guess I was lucky since I see the topic got deleted.. But I really found this project interesting.
The big rake that pokerservices takes are the big problem with internet poker.
So I have been reading up on the website and it sent me here where I have been reading more.

Have knowledge of Bitcoin, actually invested some in it a few months back. Have no knowledge about anything besides it though.. Like, I have never been on this forum.
The reason I am posting here is because I am really interested in this project and would very much like to play in the week where the team is distributing some of the coins.

From what I have understood, I either need to buy some smartchips or wait until 1/1 and buy from the service itself, to be able to play from the start.
The bank sounds like the easiest and safest way to go about this, but when I can get many more coins from buying early I feel like I have to make an effort here.

Could some of you that are more familiar with all this give me a few details on how I should go about this, and if I should bother or just wait until 1/1.
Thinking mostly of where I can buy these smartchips (assume an exchange?), if so, is it safe?

Thanks and merry Christmas! See you guys on the tables  :D

New attempt at reaching out to players outside the cryptoscene.
These might be deleted as well, but we will continue trying. We have also tried to contact twoplusstwo/cardschat to see if we can come to an agreement.
Again, this will be a much easier task in the future when we can put up capital to reach out to people. Right now we are just trying something free to get some extra players ready for distribution week.

Can barely hold my eyes open, been a long day. But before I head off to bed, I have some good news for you guys.

I got contacted by C-Cex today, and they offered to do the swap from Smartchips to BP on their exchange!
As mentioned, long day and tired, so I did not have the energy to discuss it further and make any deals with them.

However, it's a no brainer for each side so I can almost say it's a guaranteed that the swap will happen direcly on C-Cex.

Good night & merry christmas :)

As far as I found out, no.
That's one of the big excitements about the swap, no one knows how much coins is lost and will result in BP burn.
By the looks of the market now, there are very few chips left!

Christmas became a busy time for me, lots of family visits and so on.. So I have not had the time to talk with C-Cex yet.
I have lots of time forward from today though, so will come with more information about the subject soon.

But, it will most likely be live on 1/1 and it will be as planned. Considering the short time we have.
Maybe we can get it done quicker, but can't guarantee that.

Another Try On Twoplusstwo!

We tried this a couple times already. But this time someone wanted to help us out and sent his old account to us. Worthyou, thanks :)
We also took the time to write up something more authentic and our goal with this thread is to start a discussion about poker software built on blockchain technology over at twoplusstwo. If we can make that happen, a lot more people will check out Blockpoker.


If this gets deleted then there is no hope to get blockpoker out for free at twoplusstwo.
Not a big deal, because we can pay for a thread in their marketplace which will get a lot more viewers anyway.
And not only there, but many forums and websites involving poker in some way. But that will need to wait until we get a little capital to do so.

Thanks for explaining my concerns in a detailed manner. What game formats will you be offering at launch? I'm hoping I could play omaha. Will there be guaranteed tournaments and freerolls?

Happy to do it :)

I have a good message for you, there will be Omaha!
We will be offering cash games with Hold'em & Omaha at different stakes, and some guaranteed tournaments as well (not many considering we can't achieve same amount of players in so short time compared to what the general sites have now)
More formats will come with time, but thats low priority at this moment.

Freerolls are not in the plans at this moment, but it has been discussed between us before.
We felt like there was enough "giveaways" with the distribution week.
However, if that's something many people would like to have. We could arrange that. So shout out if that's something you would like to see :)
We would need to take some BP from the original distribution pot and put it towards a couple freerolls :)

No freerolls, no sucess.-

Our goal is 5000 within the end of 2015. It will be hard, but we have some advertising rolled up our sleeve, so hope we can accomplish it.

Don't forget to share it to your friends and tell them about the distribution week. We would really appreciate it.

We had to recompile wallet (server change) and found that currently there is no CHIPS wallet source available.
I already contacted Blockpoker Team and offered them free to make CHIPS to BP swap for our customers. Total balance can be proved with in/out transaction ID's so technically there will be no problems.
We only need approval/agreement from BP team and we are ready to do it without any delay.

The blockchain for this coin is frozen because it is a POS coin and the CEX wallet contains most of the coin supply.  When CEX took the wallet offline for maintenance the chain stopped because there was no coin left available to stake.  I have been in contact with your exchange since day 1 of maintenance mode but so far nothing has been done.  There are still 2 active nodes on the Isotope(CHIPS) network.  If the CEX wallet is brought back online the chain should start moving again.

We had to recompile wallet (server change) and found that currently there is no CHIPS wallet source available.
I already contacted Blockpoker Team and offered them free to make CHIPS to BP swap for our customers. Total balance can be proved with in/out transaction ID's so technically there will be no problems.
We only need approval/agreement from BP team and we are ready to do it without any delay.

is the date that everyone is stuck with? If the answer is yes then why don't several people just unlock their wallets?

Great. Launch is only a couple of days away so I think the swap could be done now. I don't think the swap will affect price that much
so people who are waiting for low prices, I think there will be good opportunities after the swap also.  ;)

Invest a bit of effort in developing a decent looking website. Meaning a professional look and feel. Create trust with your potential customers.

Most definately not advertise with promotional videos such as the one already on the website. It has a kind of 'anonymous' feel to it, why did you choose this kind of approach?

I have no clue what the software looks like, but i feel the UX and speed of the client are most important in order to attract and maintain somewhat of a playerbase. The first blockchain initiative which is a straight copy or very similar to pokerstars or fulltilt will succeed.

I very much like the initiative, gl!

That was me yesterday. I think I can squeeze 4/5 more transactions. If you have made all your transfers let me know and I will move the chain again. From there I will be stuck in limbo till you have matured coins. Then I will do the same thing.

Yesterday I logged into c-cex and saw my portfolio worth was insane. I just thought I had a bunch of dead shit coins, but also had around 100,000 chips which had suddenly been worth a hell of lot btc. Can't even remember chips, and pretty certain I never invested in something like it.
Is c-cex giving me free coins?

Of course we are still here, even if we have not posted anything in the last 30 hours or so.

Thanks for the criticism. Too bad you where not happy with the website and video. We gave a good effort in both, so not much more we can do there.

I agree 100% with you, need to have it similar to services like Pokerstars so people will feel more comfortable switching. That's what I have been going for :)

How is it going with the isotope/chips chain?
To be honest I have not cared about it, because the swap will be done directly on C-Cex. And in my mind I have thought that everybody had their chips on there and nobody had anything in their wallets.
If there is someone who has coins in the wallet, we of course needs to fix the chain so those people can move their coins to C-Cex.
So please raise your hand if you want it fixed!

It seems that the guy selling 100k coins caused also some panic selling, it might take some time for market to recover.
I bought my CHIPS between 5k-6k satoshis a day after Blockpoker announcement and I don't have any BTC left to buy more.
Now is imo a dream time to buy there really isn't any more room for a significant price drop current price is absurdly low already.

I have been back and forth with CEX support over this issue for the past 2 weeks.  I have supplied them with the original source code as they requested and yet they still refuse to do anything.

Last message I received:

"Last time we had update from chips team and it was chips wallet. Not and Isotope.

Please, don't reply by e-mail. Use our support section: https://c-cex.com/?id=support"

There has never been a CHIPS wallet.  This coin has always been a re-brand of Isotope.  At this point is looks like any users with XTP on local wallets will be left out of the swap.  Hopefully the dev can act quickly and do something about it or implement some way to account for local wallet users balances.

Sorry guys!

Still here but have encountered a couple problems when trying to launch everything off.
Got lost in time desperately trying to fix it before the announced launch time.

So, there is one small problem and one big. The small one I know I can fix within the next 3 hours, its just some visual stuff.
The bigger one I honestly have no idea. It has to do with the dealing of the cards, a little hard to explain.
I am sure I can figure it out, but as you may understand, it will take some time.

Therefore I need to set back the launch date a few days, dont know how long. Will update when I know more.
Again, really sorry about this, and pretty angry right now. This is not good for our project. But I will do my best to get it right.

I suggest to put a poker table really here, and to play on Chips. the First Developer will be our BlockExplorer , second DEV  will imitate a network (as the BlackMan from Police academy 1-10 ) ^^

Sorry guys!

Still here but have encountered a couple problems when trying to launch everything off.
Got lost in time desperately trying to fix it before the announced launch time.

So, there is one small problem and one big. The small one I know I can fix within the next 3 hours, its just some visual stuff.
The bigger one I honestly have no idea. It has to do with the dealing of the cards, a little hard to explain.
I am sure I can figure it out, but as you may understand, it will take some time.

Therefore I need to set back the launch date a few days, dont know how long. Will update when I know more.
Again, really sorry about this, and pretty angry right now. This is not good for our project. But I will do my best to get it right.

This seams to be a joke. You did not test the game and the wallet before ?!?!?

It would be good if you could give a daily update on the situation. Posting here on bitcointalk only takes a few minutes.

The only thing I don't understand is why not spend the day yesterday pumping the coin.  they could of done it easily with some fake screenshots and whatnot. instead of selling it off for so little

Just want to pop in and say thanks to these blockpoker dudes!
Yesterday I logged into c-cex and saw my portfolio worth was insane. I just thought I had a bunch of dead shit coins, but also had around 100,000 chips which had suddenly been worth a hell of lot btc. Can't even remember chips, and pretty certain I never invested in something like it.
Is c-cex giving me free coins?

Haha I dont really care, sold my stack and withdrew the BTC :D Thanks!! :D
fake blockshit 3x times back from dead and now dead again
oh dev another layer fake story, whats next "hacked story"

for xmas & new year eve

You sound very intelligent.

3 days have gone since the failed launch and no further messages about the supposed issues with the client.
It starts to seem likely that this was another scam. It's a shame because this would have been a really interesting project.

Thanks! The funny thing is I have invested in previous scam coins too like Paycoin and few others.
Also a few years back when I played poker I had money in two poker rooms that went down and didn't pay customers money.
If you sum up all these lost money it equals to over 7 thousand euros. Luckily I have won over 20 thousand euros playing poker so I'm still up if you sum up my poker playing+
crypto investments

Also another good thing is that the future is not yet written and there may be some positive surprises also  :)
I have another 3BTC+ invested in IOTA which I have strong faith in, we will see how it goes.
Anyways I just wanna tell everyone to stay positive, good things will come eventually if we believe in them and stay positive!  ;)

I got to be honest here, it hurts to see all this negativity get thrown around because of a delay.
But I am aware of how this scene is, developers leave all the time and most in here (including me) have lost money to these failed projects. So I can understand it very well.
Despite the hate, I of course set out to fix the problems. It took me right under two days to correct the visual error, which was a displacement of the avatars when shifting tables under a tournament.
The main problem was within one of the algorithms used to deal the cards, and I have had some long nights this week trying to figure out how to make it right. Basically it opened up a loophole to cheat from.
Difficult to explain in an easy way, but if there are any developers reading here, please hit me up with a PM or email. I would love to have more eyes look at how I handled it and see if anybody else sees something I do not.

However, it's good enough to be released and if I should have overlooked something it will be dealt with.
Due to the delay of release we have changed some of our plans on how to go forward with Blockpoker.

Stay tuned today, there will be dropped more information.

Great to hear development is stil going on!  :)
There has been so many scams in crypto that missing the launch and then being silent for 10 days set the "alarms" on.

Yeah I kind of get that. But if you checked the blockpoker team account here, you could see I was logged on each day.
I did this so people could see I was still active. The reason I did not post anything was because there was not really much to post about.
Had to fix the algorithm issue, and before it was done I did not really have to much more to update about.

I do today though, so stay tuned :)

From day 1 of the said launch date, I tried to download the windows wallet. It always says Countdown.
Today I got to read the contents of the thread. They have decided not to host freerolls while launching. So sad to hear. However, I can understand a little bit about the technical difficulties they can face there.
The website is not opening to me right now. Anyone experiencing the same? Have they released the wallet? What is the new launch date?

Great news! Back to 30k now? :)

I managed to pick up a lot of coins when it got dumped, and I'm not selling before a long time if the client is working 100%!

You are a lucky person, I payed over 5k satoshis for my coins  ;)
30k is realistic again when and if client gets released and is working.
I doubt we will se that high prices before the client release.

Marketcap is only like 10btc right now, this can for real go 100x overnight, pretty insane.

Yes marketcap is roughly 16 BTC or so. If we get client releasd soon there is a lot of room for price to go up.  :)

Coin supply is around 1.6 million, so by that marketcap is 16btc as you say.
But only somewhere between 1.0-1.1 million is on C-Cex.
I did some quick math by looking at the distribution of CHIPS on C-Cex. Finding which of the percentages listed was mine, and calculating afterwards how many are left on exchange.

Got to remember that a lot of coins is lost in wallet. So we will see a big burn off BP when the coinswap takes place :)

Edit: You should also look up the distribution to see how well it is distributed. Usually not like that on c-cex..


are those CHIPS traded elsewhere beside C-CEX?

are those CHIPS traded elsewhere beside C-CEX?

C-CEX is the only exchange that has CHIPS listed.

" Before I was introduced to Blockpoker I had never taken out any profit from my playing, and it's not because I am a terrible player. It's because I play for a long time, and therefore I ended up paying thousand of dollars in rake.

Now I can finally play long sessions, and my winnings have gone through the roof. Add full anonymity, great features and the simplicity of it all,

we have a new king in the Poker market. "


The lady on the picture never player in Blockpoker but if she says so, so it is. She is happy anyway.-

I got to be honest here, it hurts to see all this negativity get thrown around because of a delay.
But I am aware of how this scene is, developers leave all the time and most in here (including me) have lost money to these failed projects. So I can understand it very well.
Despite the hate, I of course set out to fix the problems. It took me right under two days to correct the visual error, which was a displacement of the avatars when shifting tables under a tournament.
The main problem was within one of the algorithms used to deal the cards, and I have had some long nights this week trying to figure out how to make it right. Basically it opened up a loophole to cheat from.
Difficult to explain in an easy way, but if there are any developers reading here, please hit me up with a PM or email. I would love to have more eyes look at how I handled it and see if anybody else sees something I do not.

However, it's good enough to be released and if I should have overlooked something it will be dealt with.
Due to the delay of release we have changed some of our plans on how to go forward with Blockpoker.

Stay tuned today, there will be dropped more information.

A little delay is fine... but leaving the supporters in the dark with no update for a week? Also, not updating the website.. Seems very unprofessional.


Also.. I called it!
Had the same thought... what if dev bought a bunch super low then actually released a working poker client lol
I might buy a tiny bit for fun ;)
Too bad i sold mine :x

Marketcap is only like 10btc right now, this can for real go 100x overnight, pretty insane.

Yes marketcap is roughly 16 BTC or so. If we get client releasd soon there is a lot of room for price to go up.  :)

Coin supply is around 1.6 million, so by that marketcap is 16btc as you say.
But only somewhere between 1.0-1.1 million is on C-Cex.
I did some quick math by looking at the distribution of CHIPS on C-Cex. Finding which of the percentages listed was mine, and calculating afterwards how many are left on exchange.

No, the fair way is release software, let people play for a day with playchips, then let them trade their chips for bp. The way this is set up now allows for everyone to get hyped on block poker again with no promise that you'll deliver. Deliver first, then let the hype build.

Today (or tomorrow perhaps. not sure about the timezones) will be a hell of a lot fun!

At this price 5 btc would give you the entire supply, that's sick.
To bad I cant get my hands on more BTC before monday..

Yeah. And just couple of days ago the lowest price was about 60 satoshis and obviously I didn't have any spare BTC then
that's just my life and my luck  :D

But seriously I really hope this isn't a p&d scam we have seen so many of those.
I haven't yet given hope on this but like many others I'm skeptical. It's kind of annoying to not being able to do other than wait and hope for the best.
Anyways blockchain based poker client is a really cool idea if Blockpoker doesn't deliver someone most certainly will. Let's all hope that it is Blockpker that delivers.  :)

for me it looks like over, devs made some more bitcoin while selling theri chips that they bought ultra cheap at under 100 sat.
always when there was a buy wall over 500, 1000, 1500 sat someone sold into it.

so why should people sell that much, when not the devs?

i hate when someone scams people once, and i more hate it when someone do it twice.
would lvoe to see someone do legal action against these...... devs because thats really too much scam.
others start to develop, do something then slow project down, do like they give up, or blame the community after a while but in this case its just really really bad and totally wrong promised.

please delete this posts if you really deliver something but i dont beliefe it anymore.



I feel you but I would wait at least another 24h before losing hope.  :)

Good News I got contacted by two developers who have been doing a lot of work within blockchain technologies and really knows their stuff.
Both looked over my work and came with a lot of positive comments. They loved my work, and it was fantastic to hear such good vibes from other developers.
They agreed to help me out with a few things that I plan to do in the future with Blockpoker.


Bad News Unfortunately it's not all good news. One of them also found another bug in the card dealing process.
Possibly a very easy fix, maybe a little hard. Not totally sure today, will update once I do.
Now I know many will be pissed, and I am sorry for the mistakes I have made. But this is not an easy task to do, and I am doing absolutely everything I can.
Will need to postpone this a little longer until I have fixed it, sorry again. And will be closing down the thread until I do as I can't take all the hate that will come my way (Just a human..), and it's also not good for the project.
It won't be for long though, I will work day and night.
