I am still having the tournament seating problem where I am not automatically seated when the tournament starts. I am only mentioning it because I thought this was fixed.
Is your client updating? Our players are reporting this problem as fixed. |

Hi guys, ladies, As Lavafish isn't here and there are some things stated technically incorrect, as CEO of SatoshiPoker I would like to rectify some things in the original post. Lavafish should have chosen some words more carefully. Ukyo is not managing this asset at all, he has just facilitated the preparations on bitfunder and guiding us to the IPO. It is however incorrect that he states that the asset didn't get final approval yet. We just don't feel right now it is the right moment to make the IPO as within 2 to 3 weeks we can IPO against a way better share price than we can now, and we have a responsability to our investors to find the best price possible. As I feel now Ukyo is not entirely happy about our company being listed there I will start the dialogue to see other options like a possible passthrough. In the end, in Holland securities regulations don't apply to bitcoin investment so it might be beneficial to take this load of his back or even not IPO'ing at all. I have no intention of having this discussion in public and will take that up with Ukyo personally. About our company and servers: The company is officially listed as a Dutch BV where bitcoin poker is considered legal as long as the company doesn't exchange or hold fiat currency. We have already registered the .co domain as .org is linked more to the US than we previously assumed and within at most a week our servers will be in Holland; to avoid any misunderstandings about where our company is listed. Some people question the valuation of our company. Our company valuation is based on 3 factors: 1. The current revenue the company produces 2. The current and potential growth 3. The future potential of an IPO on bitfunder 1. Current revenue Our company is making profits already and does not have any debts. As opposed to loaning, we decided to sell some equity to some reputable private investors within the bitcoin community. We do consider our players base a comapany asset as this is creating our revenue and with over 50 people online during preak hours, we are not far behind taking over market leadership. As we look at the traffic report delivered by current market leader SealsWithClubs to Pokerscout.com ( http://www.pokerscout.com/SiteDetail.aspx?site=SealswithClubs&ab=118452507) it is clearly visible that at our current growth we would need at most two weeks to catch up on them. To visualize what that would mean in terms of revenue can be seen in this forbes article: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jonmatonis/2013/01/22/bitcoin-casinos-release-2012-earnings/. 2. Our current and potential growth For two weeks in row we have quadripled in turnover and profits and considering the upcoming marketing there are no signs of slowing down our progress. Our 2+2 thread can launch any minute, we will have exclusive listing on pokeraffiliatelistings as only bitcoin pokersite and we have a massive amount of other advertisement in preparation. Besides that, Satoshi Poker has gone viral, getting mentioned in almost any poker news website online. Given this fact, we project we don't slow down anywhere soon; I think we might even further excellerate and claim marketleadership in at most 2 to 3 weeks. With bitcoin being the ultimate casino chip giving us the opportunity to operate within fenced markets where other poker sites can't, and being the first pokersite to have completely automated deposit and withdrawal functions we believe there is no reason why we should remain a pokersite for bitcoiners only. We aim to become a mainstream site. We are already developping systems in which customers from specific countries can make an instant deposit with their online banking system, which is popular in Europe at this point. In that way regular poker players who are less known with bitcoins can make a deposit in the way they are used to without us having to exchange or hold fiat currency of customers. We are making great daily progress and even signed 3 well known regular players from the current market leader as pro's for our website. We are the first bitcoin site who does not want to be seen as a shady construction but as a legit and integer operation. 3. Potential of a bitfunder IPO When looking at the future potential of an IPO on bitfunder, which for now is the earliest exit point for our investors, we can only make a decent analysis by looking at previous IPO's and company valuations. Considering the sale of SatoshiDice, Satoshi Poker will probably be the only pseudo-gaming asset on bitfunder (we are not gaming by Dutch law), amongst some mining farms and a webshop. Considering the fact that Satoshi Dice had an IPO of over 35K BTC in 3 days, selling only 10% of their company; considering that BitPride, a webshop, sold less than 5% of their shares for over 400BTC, considering a financial service called Ziggap did the same for 500 BTC, I think it is rediculous to value a profitable organisation with the growth and potential which we show lower than, with all due respect, a financial service which cooked the books and a t-shirt website which sells some bitcoins on the side. Personally I feel that none of the investors will ever agree to sell any of their shares at an IPO when growing the way we do; even when the moment is there that they can double or tripple their investment. With the speed at which we grow this would be foolish. As CEO and founder of Satoshi Poker I have already committed myself by stating that I will not remotely consider selling one single share at the IPO. The only reason we set up this contruction was to offer our earlier investors an early exit, getting their initial out with a decent ROI and let the remaining equity provide them a monthly dividend. Considering all above, I believe that 8000BTC is an absolute undervaluation of our company. Thats all. Gotta run, I have a mission to lead. |

I stopped playing on SatoshiPoker after I realized I was sitting at a table of bots. I don't trust SatoshiPoker at all. I'd much rather invest in Sealswithclubs. If they were to ever try to raise funds to develop software that could compete on Pokerstars level, that would definitely be an IPO I would be interested in. This on the other hand, I am very weary of. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on ME.
Hi Deadgiveaway, It is true that we had some issues with bots on our site in the past and as you can see here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=186745.msg2435750#msg2435750 we will do everything in our power to find and get rid of them. Satoshi Poker aims to provide a safe environment for the players to play in. We do not care about *receiving* income from cheaters, which is why we have been busy for the past several days to analyse all play at our site which resulted to banning over 30 people, including people that were regularly seen in our .22BTC and .55BTC buyin tournaments. We get praised for our proactiveness to fight any form of colluding/cheating all over our support thread at both grindabit and bitcointalk. Please take a look at http://grindabit.discussioncommunity.com/post/Multi-accounts-and-collusion-thread-bounty-for-hunting-them-down-6437673?trail=15 and you will notice that we don't only fight bots, but also colluders which are getting in high positions of the seals leaderboards, you must know aki199 at seals... I understand your position on this as I won't deny we had issues with bots, but as far as I know, they are gone and hopefully wont be back. Be aware that our options to fight these bots are more limited than regular pokersites, as we would be out of business tomorrow if our software started scanning for running processes or scanning the hard drive of our customer, where their bitcoin wallets are located. Three regular grinders who were playing multiple hours per day on seals for a living have even chosen to come over to Satoshi Poker to help us get the traffic up as they feel we are the only one taking the security of our customers and the integrity of our games serious. I understand you are not interested in investing in our company, but I felt I had to reply and set this record straight, because at this point Satoshi Poker is the only bitcoin poker room that can be trusted. |

PSA
Dont play with MrRoll.
Since there were 3 players remaining in the 2.5K and the top 2 got paid, I folded most of my hands knowing I hand more money than the afk at our table.
MrRoll took our blinds for 15 minutes or so before folding to the afk when he was forced all in. I dont know why MrRoll wanted the afk player to be payed. Perhaps the afk payed him? Perhaps the afk was his account?
He clearly acted against self interest in favor of an afk, is this collusion or something else?
We will investigate. |

that is very sad...
i would like you to explain what exactly is your idea with this;
can you, please explain it in simple statement?!
You control account JackTheRipper and SilvaRocha. Just before tournament cancels you register with 2 accounts to get the 4 entrants guaranteed prize. Then you just go allin every hand with both accounts |
|
|
|
JackTheRipper, You asked me for a playground to practice. I build the rags 2 riches specially for you. And then you do this to return a favor:   signing in with 2 accounts at last moment just to pick up the overlay and moving both allin each hand. Picking up 2200 chips like that, Sad. Just sad. Thats all. Bye jack. Good luck with ur $20 |

Someone, who I've never seen before, just joined a freeroll rags 2 riches with the name "f*ckoff". I'm not an angel but do you think that's appropriate? And I can't help but think it's aimed at the admin after the recent crackdown...
You are right. It was in fact our luckbox Kurawa who made that account. And it was probably aimed at me. Just let them go back to that other site. now someone new in the freeroll named "allbanned"....I assume another joker yeah. he is gone already |

All cashouts have been processed. Except for Hazard's.

I forgot to ban Hazard. Kicked him from lobby server but accidentally forgot to checkbox the ban.
For Kevin C i have to make a rectification:
He was playing long sessions from the same IP as player nitrous fox. In those sessions they played freerolls, and I falsely assumed they were playing them together. He emailed me and told me they play freerolls but never have been in the same game. I dug into our backend and he was right. I have no problem with multiple people in one household playing on our site, as long as it is not on the same table. Kevin C is legit and the reason he plays the 10K is because I gave him the ticket after publicly stating he is a colluder while he is not.
The bug which allowed people with same IP on the same table is now fixed. And yes, I will look into all the new freerollers.

Hi I am letting ewindermere handle it over on grindabit http://grindabit.discussioncommunity.com/post/Multi-accounts-and-collusion-thread-bounty-for-hunting-them-down-6437673/. However I am aware of the situation and awaiting the outcome. We have not played ring games at the same table, however we do play the same tournaments since there is approx 1 per hour for the guarantees during the 8-11pm hours Eastern time. Both of us have been playing SP higher tournaments for a while and I hope we can continue to do so. I do also appreciate the work SP has done with both the client and gaining traffic. The 50k guaranteed blew over the guarantee yesterday which was amazing to play in. Hopefully that keeps up each Sunday. Thank you, Simpy Hi Simpy, This is what i wrote for Ewindemere: Ewindermere, As just said in the chat, I will keep your account locked and will review the hands played. You and your roommate, assuming this is true, have been constantly playing the same games, and this brings a high risk of collusion. I will inform you and this thread, as you took it here, on the outcome of the investigation. |

That cholby was not very creative xD Seems mostly "freeroll" players (as I don't know most of them xD :X) But still very good find (in the end colluding is bad in all stakes of course.) Most interesting is probably "Aki199" as many on GAB said, he is also playing a lot at 'this other btc poker site'. 'Bank' has some open loans to people which seems as a scam so multi-account is not too big of a surprise too. Keep up the good work Thanks a lot Nico! Most of them are indeed freeroll players, there are some players who advanced to our guaranteeds as well though... |
|
|
|
LOL it's basically everyone!
If you come on SP on regular basis you will know this is far from everyone. |
|
|
|
Creating a bit of a witch hunt here man...
If people are colluding they are not welcome at SP. Period. |

The following list of players has been banned.
When the names are written between ----- it means that they were found playing the same game from the same IP address in multiple same sessions.
We found 2 bigger rings of which all the players were one and the same person. We suspect both rings are one person but for the two separate lists we can prove they are.
Also, yoshuto and dezmond33 made a 2nd attempt. Played the rags2riches all day to find themselves at the same place as their old accounts.
We will continue with the investigation, look how much money exactly is involved and will temporary process all withdrawals manually, as we never had such a huge list of cashouts in one day and we suspect that the people we suspect are suspicious something is happening

Withdrawals halted for about 2 to 3 hours
Hi guys, girls,
We are investigating some rings of multiaccounters on our site and because of the earlier bans, they all started to withdraw their money. We have halted the withdrawals till investigation is completed. We hope we can count on your understanding. We have to do this in order to maintain the safety and integrity of our games.

And it seems it was not me, Since my account balance didn't change at all  Anyway good work to ban them! Nope, it wasn't you who sent me the PM BitcoinFlush, I looked into my outbox now and found out that I was correct and have informed you about the multiaccounting of yushoto=puzhok=dezmond much before this, on June 29th. You can look into your inbox to check and verify it. Here is my post to you on June 29th: (No subject) « Sent to: BitcoinFlush on: June 29, 2013, 07:48:49 AM » Reply with quoteQuote ReplyReply Remove this messageDelete There are 3 guys playing freerolls and chips dumping to each other all the time: every time one of them gets short, the other close to him in position limps or raises 2BB and then folds to his 2BB raise or on the flop to pass him some chips to carry on... names: yoshuto - pozhuk - dezmond33 When I told yoshuto on the table that this is funny that you use 3 or more accounts to play each freeroll and still hardly cash out, he answered: 6 and then continued laughing.. Could you have a look into it? Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Actually I was the true winner of that bounty, but if you have given it to the newer guy, never mind. Actually, that is completely true. I think I remember your username but just to be sure, please send me in PM so i'll send you a bounty as well. |
