Last night I tried using the table starter thing to earn the 100% rakeback bonus, but it didn't work.

I went to my wallet, clicked 'Pick Tables' next to 'Poker Table Starter', clicked 'Sit Here' on the 'Tokyo' row. It told me 'Selected. You have 5 minutes to sit at Tokyo.'

So I went back to the lobby and sat at table 'Tokyo', and bought in for the max available (100 chips).

I went back to the wallet, clicked 'refresh', and it told me 'Pending Tokyo: Sit at table now' and that's all.

I wasn't sat there before it told me to sit, but it never noticed me sitting.

The feature worked about a week ago when I tried, but now it is broken again.

Please don't tell me to make a ticket, because nobody answers tickets.

Edit: I just tried again now and it worked this time, so the bug seems intermittent.

The solution to this is to employ more knowledgeable staff. If money is a problem, maybe stop paying people to spam the forum with signature ads and use the money saved to pay for competent support staff. There's little point advertising the site when it isn't ready to handle increased traffic yet. New people will visit, be disappointed by all the broken stuff and lack of support, and not stick around. Better to focus on fixing things first, and then bringing in players later.

Looks good. Thanks.

I'd like to be able to 'skip entropy collection', like I added to https://clamaddress.org/ (a fork of bitaddress). I took the code for that from the bitcoinpaperwallet fork.

I don't know, but you should assume that they (or your own computer) store it and will one day leak it to a hacker.

To assume anything else is dangerous. You're presumably using bitaddress.org for offline storage. Once you've entered a private key online, consider it compromised, and move any remaining funds to a new address.

It's not that I feel bad for me. I feel bad for the site and its customers.

How do you explain such poor customer service? It just makes the whole operation look amateurish.

I can kind of understand it in Twitch's case. They are sick of him continuing to bring up embarrassing stuff from the past that they wish would just go away, and so have written him off as a troll. But for a new player with a good reputation, playing for decent sums, and pointing out clearly verifiable easily fixed bugs on the site I just don't get it. Why promise a reply "within hours" and then stall for 8 days?

I don't have a story about "the digger". Digging is happening, provably so. I pointed it out.


Ignoring the fact that if you were to make a clone of CLAM not a single fuck would be given, and not a single CLAM lost, if the snapshot had happened in May 2013 instead of in May 2014, that would have been about a month before Just-Dice first launched. I would probably have had something like 5 funded addresses instead of the ~30 I had in May 2014. So I would lose 25*4.6 = 115 CLAMs.

Are you suggesting that Creative, BAC, and I are all the same person? Do you know how silly that makes you look?

You misunderstand. He's talking about what would have been "prudent and sane behavior" *for the digger*, who presumably wants to maximize his BTC take.

If there was some way to keep the price high which he sold his stash, then of course that would have been best, *for him*. If the price of CLAM crashed immediately after, well, that doesn't matter to him since he's done at that point.

By the time I realised what was going on and warned everyone, the price had already fallen from over 0.01 to somewhere in the 0.007 - 0.008 range, and I'm sure it would have kept falling even without my warning. Nobody needs to understand the bigger picture in order for a massive increase in supply coupled with no corresponding increase in demand to cause the price to drop. At best my warning helped drop the price more quickly to minimize the amount we as a community bled to the digger.

OK, but my point is that the BBJ pot was filled up by paying customers, and so shouldn't be distributed to freeloaders.


It feels like I'm late to the party and there's nothing but sloppy seconds left.

If you like lotteries, check out https://www.pevpot.com/ - it is the only lottery where the odds are in your favour. The prize pool is BIGGER than the sum of all the tickets that are sold each week.

I'm pretty new to the site, but it seems obvious to me that the bad beat jackpot pool is to be used for funding the bad beat jackpot, and nothing else. Using it to fund freerolls is just wrong. It was contributed mostly by high rollers (the site's most valuable asset) and shouldn't be given away to the hundreds of random new users that freerolls attract.


I wouldn't take it personally. I started playing at betcoin a few weeks ago, immediately found a whole load of problems with the site and made a post about them. betcoin's response was that they would like to discuss the problems, but that I should make a support ticket rather than discussing it on the forum. So now my initial list of problems and a bunch more are on a ticket, being ignored.

I don't know if they're horribly understaffed or just don't give a shit, but I've never seen such poor customer support before.

Here's the tail end of the ticket. It includes a promise of a reply "in a few hours", made 8 days ago, and an odd request to "revisit the ticket", as if it was ever visited in the first place.

I guess he isn't really mining to the address, but withdrawing from a mining pool to that address, in which case it would work fine anyway.

But maybe he's using p2pool or something that actually pays out coinbase coins.

Fair point. It should have been obvious that some people have more funded addresses than others.

No, it has always been known.

My point is that even though this particular digger claims to only have another 250k CLAMs to dump there's no reason to believe that's the end of the dumping. You took my quote out of context. I've re-added the context above.

I've seen this dynamic analysed in this thread long ago. I don't remember details, but it was being put forward as a positive thing: when the price rises new diggers are encouraged to dig and provide new supply, keeping a cap on the price. In this way the price is moderated and doesn't soar too high.

I guess the difference in this case is the sheer size of the wallet involved.

I find it hard to reason about the rights and wrongs in this case. The developers gave a fixed amount of CLAM to every funded BTC, LTC, DOGE address thinking that that was the fairest way of doing things. Now it turns out that it made for a very unfair distribution, and someone who (maybe) abused a bunch of faucets not only ended up bloating the BTC blockchain but also gets half a million dollars worth of free CLAM. How is that "fair"? Is it wrong to cancel digging because it's wrong to change the initial arbitrary rules? Or is it wrong to allow a single individual to benefit so hugely from his (possible) antisocial behaviour? I don't know.

And like he says, it's too late to do anything about it now. All we can do is decide what to do about the next such guy that turns up.

Typo: "Strech the block hash"

Also, the block hash isn't automatically filled in in the stretching tool, even after I have fetched it. I have to copy/paste it, which seems like a step that could be automated.

And it would be nice if there was some kind of progress indicator while stretching, so I know how far through it is.

It's a little concerning that you don't appear to have replied to any of his posts here. He seems to be raising valid concerns, but you leave them unanswered.

Did you really use 10 BTC confiscated from cheating players to fund a promotion instead of giving them back to the players they were stolen from? If so, how do you justify that?

Did you really allow those same cheating players to them play in the freeroll funded with the money they stole, after claiming to have zero tolerance for cheating? That sounds pretty crazy if it's true.

You asked me to point out other errors in your site in exchange for a bounty. I did so. And you didn't pay the bounty.

What's the deal?

I don't understand how it could have given anyone any more confidence. We already knew he existed. I don't think we've learned anything new.

Well, I don't think so.

When he's done selling, someone else will (eventually) start. There are another 14 million or so undug CLAMs out there.

I think a lot of what separates CLAM from "all the other scamcoins" is that an established service requires its use. That is the case whether or not the rules change.

I think the analogy works just fine. I don't own the borrowed car, but can totally drive it into a wall if I want to.

Custody works better, yes.


And that's typical open source rebuttal. Nobody says you have to write the code yourself. You can pay someone to write it for you.

What you can't reasonably do is expect "the higher ups" to write it for you.
