Title: Blockpoker speculation
Post by: Timeline on January 14, 2016, 08:50:17 PM
Now that Blockpoker main thread is locked let's continue discussion here.
What do you guys think is it a scam or not?
Another delay sounds a bit fishy but we will see. What makes this all strange is that if this was a scam
why didn't the dev hype Blockpoker more, update the website and upload fake screenshots etc.

If we don't hear from dev in the coming weeks we should organize a community takeover
and try to move things forward somehow, I think Idea behind Blockpoker is great so it's worth a shot to try to make it happen.

This is what i couldnt figure out.  If it was a scam( which i think it was)  Why didnt he do it better?  He could of dumped his coins for so much more with just a few fake screenshots.  Most of the coins in the wallet that had 67% were dumped at 2k or lower.

Yes it is strange. Now it's another waiting game. I really would hope the project to be real because there's a lot of potential, we will see. I am skeptical but we will see how it turns out in a couple of weeks.

It seems they have collected some funds via crowd funding earlier. There are many people waiting for their share of the coins. They initially announced a huge million of coins to be giveaway from Jan 1 2016 to 8 2016. Later they dropped their idea of giveaway. They're not frequently talking to people there and updating information regarding their launch. That kills the patience of everyone.

Yes the original coin Isotope had a crowdfund then smartchips took over Isotope and after that Blockpoker took over smartchips. I agree with you'r comments. There should be more updates on development.

Dev has been online in the last couple of days. Seems that the project isn't forgotten.  :)

Looks like the long awaited Pokereum is close to launching on Ethereum

http://superdao.io/

It's been in development since early 2014 afaik (originally on NXT but moved to ethereum for technical reasons).

*might* be one to watch for the decentralised Poker lovers

The domain just went off line lawls. Note that they were both put on wix, and both were paid for very short term hosting.

Anyone know what happened to CHIPS on c-cex?

No clue, just noticed it got delisted and I'm looking for the announcement. I would have noticed it...
Their policies state they give you a 7 day warning and post the delisted coins on twitter, the main webpage, and their newsletter. I don't subscribe to their newsletter but it's not in the first two places.

Sure they were probably worthless from this point on but I still feel robbed by the exchange. Suppose it's a proper and funny way to end the fiasco but it doesn't sit well with me.

And to top this all off, I know that the volume isn't low enough for them to be delisted in the first place. I saw 1+ btc volume when someone made large sells the other day.

I sent them an email. They told me the blockchain and wallet are no longer available.
