I'm going to play but there is none around. And this is me willing to bet my last BTC2.50 because I lost quite a bit in blackjack haha. I wish I hadn't gotten scammed when I first started, but such cases I guess. I will be in the small bets room
Thank you Third Way for letting us know! BTW, this is the best way to get into game - sit at table and post announce (here or in separate topic). Bitcoin forum have a lot of visits and your post will be noticed for sure!

Technically this is doable, but it's too much hassle. I have more bigger problems and do not want introduce something which will potentially bring even more problems. So, no. No free tables.

URL is https://betco.in - there is no alot of players and usually they get in to room during evenings.
|
|

great start! things should be easy to implement: - refresh cards through ajax - show current player's and dealer's points
probably, not so easy to implement: - split button

Just to let everybody know - after roughly 24 hours transaction is still unconfirmed =) http://bitcoincharts.com/bitcoin/ - 1Hu65a4f13rWcK8fs2hmwq9FPEXQ6ZYBnu BTW, can someone explain in layman words where from priority is defined?
|
|

thank you. now this makes more sense =) So... we are at the point where we need to have higher divisibility of coins to make sure we can send 0.01 without paying 0.01 in fees.

The questions is - one block can contain 1k transactions, why last blocks contain only dozens of transactions when there is 600+ unconfirmed transactions in the queue?
|
|
|
Is your transaction in the unconfirmed transactions list? There are currently 612 of them, which is much higher than I've seen before... http://bitcoincharts.com/bitcoin/Yeah. I can see my transaction in this list.

SgtSpike- it doesn't matter how much hashing power there is, it's a matter of how many transactions fit in a block. Currently the limit is at 1MB per block or so, and that's about 1000 transactions. Might want to brush up on how the blockchain works Sgt https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BlocksHm. This means that either big pools ignore "free" transactions or that my client do not have connection to network.. I see 8 connections available to daemon. So it definitely connected to network but for some reason - very slow. And I had similar reports from people trying to deposit money to my room - getting 1st confirmation takes hours sometimes.

I know it. It's just a point. Before all your transfers almost always were included into first generated block. Now you need to wait way more. And with more trading happening, this will happen more often.

I sent some bitcents to btcJack site few hours ago and transaction still not included in block chain.. Are we at the point where most transactions will require fee to be included into chain? If so - we definitely need to work on smaller divisibility, since 0.01 current smallest fee is to big for certain transactions.

No idea why anyone would play non-heads up at any stakes other than micros. Collusion is way too easy. Even showing all cards at showdown is not enough. You need skilled people reviewing full hand histories, tracking user IDs, IP addresses, etc. This stuff isn't easy and is why large poker sites have huge Security departments.
But hey, it's a start, keep at it.
I believe at this point we will not have this particular problem due to small size. But if someone suspect non honest game - please report. If it become often enough I will develop tools/policies to review such cases and prevent harm from it.

anisoptera fixed rake code. so room take rake now.
We do not charge rake if the hand ends on the first betting round - before the flop.
Heads-Up: we collect 1% rake with x5 BB cap and 0.5 BTC absolute cap.
Round: we collect 1% rake with x10 BB cap and 2 BTC absolute cap.
This should help us to develop it faster since we have incentive now =)

moa, this is completely different beast. I would like to implement it all, but I do not have enough time for poker... But I bet if you post it in marketplace section, someone will come with it.
|
|
|
BTW, anisoptera started to work on back-end. And HU blinds were fixed by her!
|
|
|
Due huge jump in BTC price, I adjust rate. New rate is 2 BTC / 1000 words.
|
|
|
I've updated code with submitted HU game patch. Please try it and let me know if it works correctly.
Also, I've added bunch of HU tables. Not sure if we need that much, so comments are welcome.

Another user submitted patch for reversed blinds, but, as others says, current code base I leverage is a mess. So I might start building the whole thing from the ground. (Hell, if I will not be able to monetize betco.in, I can sell engine itself for a bunch of bucks =)).
As for enforced showdown.. I see a lot of opinions on this. I think it will make more sense to implement it by table instead of at the whole room level. That's been said, current software will not support this for sure in any way.

200/400 refers to the bet size, not the blinds, in limit poker. NL poker does not have fixed bet sizes, so it refers to the blinds.
Oh. Now it makes more sense. I will reconfigure tables once room will be empty since I need to restart server to changes take effect.
