Yes, however I just raised it to 200 now because a lot of people were doing that and many people withdrew the free coins plus 10x winnings. If people keep doing this we would go bankrupt soon at this rate so I will try if 200 is more sustainable. The goal of the free coin is for players to try the site out. We are a business after all and we can't keep giving out free money.

I take it you were looking in a mirror when you wrote that?

1. I'm not on shared hosting, our server is way more than enough to handle the whatever regular users activity, as long as users play by the rules.
2. No server is bullet proof, JD and SD all could be taken down with a large enough DDOS, even Facebook goes down once in a while.
3. Majority of the coins are stored safely in a cold storage away from the server, and the server itself is well secured. It is in my best interest to maintain a good reputation. If coins are stolen then there goes the reputation of my business so it's my highest priority to avoid that from happening.

Well I wouldn't want that because the server will take a beating. It's ready taking a beating right now with a huge surge in traffic. Let's hope you guys don't take the server down haha.

0.0001 is too high? That's like betting 1 cent each round, less than that isn't worth the load on the server imo.

I'm not so sure about this. China CB as been buying gold (massive amounts in the last few years) whereas the US has been selling, and we don't even know that the gold the US claims is in their vaults is really there (they defaulted on Germany's gold last year when delivery was requested.) Gold is not something CBs buy en masse when they are interested in saving their rapidly inflating fiat currency at all costs. In fact China has recently made statements expressing interest in an entirely new currency standard and their gold purchases may be to help back such an endeavour.

Also, bitcoin may be very important for money laundering by high chinese officials. And we know how rampant corruption is over there. (I lol because it's rampant over here too, although it's a bit harder to bribe the zoning board for a ruling exception in the US so maybe it's not as prevalent in the lower levels.) Sure, they could make it illegal for the general populace yet find ways for these officials to launder.... OTOH, with the chinese public participating, price is increasing (and possibly less volatile) which makes it a more efficient vehicle for laundering. Officials may be dragging their feet due to their own [laundering & gambling] self-interest.

I think the chinese goobermint did issue a statement a while back that bitcoin is, in fact, illegal there. They don't seem to be enforcing this, so IDK what that says about its actual legal status...

Also there was that suspicious TV docu on the state channel... they don't just let "big advertisement for bitcoin" air when they are planning on dropping the anvil on it. Something fishy's going on.

Also, while bitcoin could certainly bite the Chinese government and the Yuan, it would bite the USG/USD even harder and we all know how much the chinese wants the US on their knees.

So while they may crack down on bitcoin, it may not be as quickly as we'd expect from a western government, or with the fervour that we'd expect.

Not sure what you mean but deposit and withdraw requests for both fiat and BTC are timely processed. So they are not trading on paper or having fractional reserve.

Why not? Most ASIC were produced in China

Lost Phone “Attack”
< to be written >
• Okay... not really an attack, but we need to address the consequences.

So if I use this on my desktop system, your service then gets not one but 2(!) IPs from me (mobile phone + desktop) that it can correlate + 2 browsers to fingerprint...

That doesn't sound nice. Investors want golden showers!

Also, very interesting, from main KNC thread:

I am aware that "singlehandedly declar[ing] bitcoin the national currency is hilariously naive" but my point is more to stir the pot and see what bubbles up.  I know it would, quite literally, take an act of congress to do this...and we all know that congress is currently unable to do anything. 

What about my other statement of limiting all politicians to no more than 2 terms?  I'm sure that's a pipe dream as well because it would have to be voted on and "ain't nobody got time for that", to put it eloquently. 

I guess the best thing to do would be to replace 535 backwards thinkers with progressive (and by this I mean people who are willing to create change and be open to learning new things, not the republican's horribly negative view on forward thinkers),  young, and enthusiastic people.  Guess we need 535 bitcoiners to run for those positions.

And now, "Gay Life On Bitcoin", a venture by 2 loveable users, Cypherdoc and Avenger.
Let's all donate BTC and send these two on a honeymoon. Anything to get them out of here.

Ever tried reading?

I will put it this way: if I had to bet I would never bet that they will ship by 15th. They didn't even mention anywhere why they stopped/slowed down prodction/shipping this week.

As KNC are keeping all their customers in the dark, not giving us ANY updates on production schedule or shipping, I think it's appropriate we keep an eye on their 15th October shipping pledge.

Their customer service team are still giving customers who ring/email this date, so they are obviously expecting us to hold them to it.

We are.
