Management,

Thanks for putting together what seems to be a pretty slick site. I noticed that you mentioned an API, but I don't see any documentation regarding what that means, exactly. Is there documentation, or can you tell us what the API does?

Regards,
Jonathan

Hello Jonathan,

Thank you for the compliment and for your interest in the BitcoinStars.com API capabilities

You can access the API by sending GET requests over HTTP at http://bitcoinstars.com/api/api.php

There are 3 parameters that need to be included with every request: method, user, and api_key

The API allows for a easier, quicker implementation of adding and subtracting wagers

The API documentation is available to anyone. Just send a email to admin@bitcoinstars.com
or open and deposit into a account.

If there are any other questions concerning other aspects of the website we will always be available to assist.

Management,

Why do you only allow one withdrawal per 24 hours? Furthermore, why does it take 30-60 minutes for funds to arrive? Am I to assume that funds are kept offline, or in a hosted wallet like MtGox or Tradehill?

Regards,
Jonathan

Hello Jonathan

The 1 free per 24 hr withdraw was decided by our group to be a quality security feature for the overall stability of the site

The 30-60 minute funds has to do with the 5 confirmations that are needed to process the deposit

We run a hybrid where we do partial offline and partial wallet. We would love to add even more ways to store and will as the new options emerge.

Actually we did a database checkup and it looks as if you may have deposited your 1 bitcoin directly to the bitcoin address while skipping the cashier deposit section.

The system did not read the deposit. We have corrected this as your account was the only one with a bitcoin outstanding and have added the bitcoin to your account.

If for any reason you have any suggestions or inquiry's in the future please contact us through email ASAP so we can take care of things quicker for you. Have a great weekend.

Thanks. We always enjoy hearing that someone likes using the website. Concerning your alt line question what we would say concerning that is if one of our high bitcoin marketmakers wants a line we will put it up. If you want a certain line and think that it will appeal to one of our high volume marketmakers or just to the website in general please email us with any requests. We wanna know what users on our site would like implemented.

Why wouldn't you want to make it so when a person uses the market maker feature they can set the line? Also the "more" next to the game should be grayed out until alternative lines are added.

Hi. Concerning your market maker question their normal objective is to supply liquidity to a available line. Would we like the ability to have users add lines manually to a game ? Sure. There will be many changes in the next 12 months to the website functionality and that will be addressed along with the greying out feature (like that one alot). Thank You for the imput.

A couple of the accounts during our server work had their bitcoins automatically withdrawn back to the original withdraw ID's so if you notice extra bitcoins in your personal wallet you know why :)

Of course. All pending bets are live. Once we finish out server work. We will upgrade pending wagers. Sorry for the timeframe of the server updates. They are taking longer because of weekend limitations the server companies have. We should be good to go early next week and we can avoid such a wait next time :)

Ok just got back up. Had major things to work out with concerning the new extra secure wallet setup so after alot of adjustments we sent everyone the bitcoins they had in their account and did a refresh. You will not be able to log in with your old account. With what happened were about 3-5 weeks behind on our overall plans but we still expect to complete everything before 2012. If we missed anything please contact us at admin@bitcoinstars.com with any inquiry or question.
