best of luck with your poker room  8)

Thanks! I have run several versions of this poker server and I'm working on the actual integration of the "BTC Exchange" into the server itself so that when BTC confirmations are received it automatically credits the players accounts. Ah, the frustrations and pleasures of code!

Cool. I do know another guy on the forums who uses that software. His name is Weaver. The software seems to be stable. I wonder how many others in the future will use it.  :)

I love poker, i'll visit.

Thanks! The only way we can make this work is by word of mouth and providing a GREAT PLAYERS experience for you! We'll take care of the latter, you go spread the word!  ;D

awesome. only suggestion is to not have red on green on the site.

i should not even begin to play. bitcoin is enough of an obsession already.

Hmmm, interesting suggestion. Red and green are very common casino colors and the contrast highlights important or exciting information. Does it not work well as you see it? Feedback like this is always welcome. What offset colors would you suggest?

the green is cool, yellow is bright but ok. i don't have specific preferences on which colors, but i recommend no more than 3 font sizes across the site, and no more than 3 colors, and those colors specifically meaning something. like yellow = link, red = emphasis, gray = normal, or something like that.

best of luck on the site.

My wife says much of the same things about my websites. She actually has a degree in the field and does contract web design work for some pretty large companies, so I should probably listen to what she says, but I long ago declared that my little hobbies, like making simple, non-scripted websites, would be my own project and I would screw them up as I see fit! That said, you do have some very legitimate design critiques.  ;D

You are charging 10% rake ??

Wow nice site. Just spent an hour on there playing with one other guy lol.

Will deposit some coins tonight and see if anyone comes on this weekend!

Great idea.

Oh yeah the rake is wayyyy too high btw. U maybe want to calm that down a little...

NO MORE RAKE OR TOURNAMENT FEES, EVER!  ;D

Isn't there some sort of receiving address you should give? The bitcoin wallet is just the plain bitcoin address right?

The PIN you enter when you create your account is added to all deposits and used to verify withdraws. see this page:

http://btcpokerroom.com/exchangeinfo.htm (http://btcpokerroom.com/exchangeinfo.htm)

I am already aware of that. What I'm asking is: Can you just use your bitcoin address as a wallet address?

I'll definitely try this out, looks good

Deposits and withdrawals really sucks.

- With the 4 digit pin stuff it means you can only have a maximum of 10000 users
- When depositing, if someone mistakes his pin, his money will go deposited to another user if the pin exists
- A malintentioned user could withdraw all user accounts to his respective accounts

BTW, where is the withdraw page ? I couldnt find it

Actually, unlimited users.  ;D Duplicate user names aren't allowed. Duplicate pins don't matter as the user names must me unique and must be entered when submitting an exchange deposit.

Deposits are matched via user name and pin. Unless there are two users with the same name (not possible) and pin (possible, but wouldn't match the name), so only the user with their matching pin can process a withdraw request.

The withdraw page is on the Exchange page with the BIG WITHDRAW BUTTON!

Any other issues?

signed up! i'd like to play a small stakes game sometime to try it out... anybody wanna coordinate a time?

Best way to setup a game is to setup a "Private Room" and post the invite, password, and time for other to see and meet you there!

to each his own. if the poker part works great, i do not doubt success. now i want to play. must. not. do. it.

Nice idea! Good luck . Are you selling shares?

Thank you

Not selling shares yet, the business model is based on advertising and traffic, so at this point the traffic building and promotion are the goals. That said, because this market is so new, ideas from anyone and everyone are welcome!

Just a heads up to anybody who wants to test this place out: I've set up a private table named 'Agora'. They say it will be ready about four hours from this posting, but I'm going to set a tentative start time for 8 PM EST tomorrow (Wed., August 18th). The password for the room is 'charybdis' sans quotes. We'll start at the given time if at least 3 players have shown up, otherwise check back here for rescheduling. Cheers!

I think the thing that is putting most people off depositing any coins is the "pin number" method you have for depositing coins. You need to integrate the Bitcoin balance a little more tightly with the user's account / chip count before this really takes off.
