We have not managed to install the updates and had to roll back to the latest working version of the game server. We have been back online since a few hours, and are now working on fixing the improvements to our games. Our apologies for the downtime...

Dear players,
we had some great updates coming but somehow it messed up and now the client hangs on the update request from the client. We are working on it and guarantee all players get their buyin returned and for ongoinf tourneys get a prize according to their equity in the tourney. As soon as there is more news I will update you guys....

Dear Players,

For the past few days I have been in a remote location with next to no internet. I had our hot wallet topped up before I left but because of some bigger cashouts we ran out way earlier than expected, causing the hot wallet to be empty. We truly apologize for this situation and will try to prevent this in the future, but to secure player balances we cant take the risk of holding all funds in an online wallet.

And for the people that called us a scam: we didn't invest almost 80k usd in a pokersite just to scam people out of a 1000 chip cashout.

 For the email support: im not able to ssh into the mail account from here with a 5kbps connection so any questions can be asked here in pm. Once again my apologies. From saturday we will be on our mail like a hawk again.

I truly hope we can count on your understanding.

Best regards,

BitcoinFlush

Thanks for the interest from the community so far.

I forgot to add:
Please add email address and/or skype to your pm so I can actually contact you without having to send company information through PM's 

It wouldn't be very smart to be claiming you are somebody who gets booted multiple times per week by both SP as SWC wouldn't it?

I think multi accounting is never harmless, as it gives a player an unfair advantage over other players.

first, this law is aimed at foreign market and I am dutch. Second, the dutch parliament has stated that bitcoin meets only 2 of the 4 criteria with which the law defines money and thus no financial licenses are needed for exchange, securities, financial services and gaming. This has been an explicit statement in Dutch parliament and as gambling is defined as playing for money, these new laws wont apply to bitcoin poker

In Holland bitcoin poker is exactly equal to Zynga poker. Just as any tourist is allowed to visit our coffeeshops, they are allowed to use our services as they obey the dutch law

Be really careful. The statements of the Dutch government only apply to BTC2EUR and EUR2BTC transactions, as USD is highly regulated and controlled outside of Holland. Good luck with the site though

The main issue is if bitcoins can be qualified as 'money by other means'. To give a comparision: in Vegas, people are not playing with real cash, but with chips and these chips are regarded as money by other means, making it gambling.

What you should look for is a country which specificly states that bitcoin isn't money and therefor none of the monetary rules apply (including gambling, securities and exchange). A decent example is The Netherlands...

What is up with this kid.. 
Not welcome at SP!

Hi!

Most of you probably already heard about SatoshiPoker, being a growing bitcoin based pokersite from Holland. From the start we have invested a lot of time and money into the site, starting with a daily loss of 5 bitcoins, because of our juicy freerolls and guaranteed tournaments. This was an expensive strategy, but it has given us a loyal players base on which we can grow further and at this point we have reached break even point. The way the site has been growing the past weeks makes us project that July will be our first profitable month since the start.

Instead of being just a pokersite for bitcoiners, we intend to become a mainstream poker site and compete with the more serious players in the industry. To achieve this goal, we had a marketing budget assigned to get us listed on the most important poker forums. With all company funds held in bitcoins but all marketing costs being charged in USD, we have taken a serious hit in our marketing budget, due to the fall of the bitcoin value. Our main interest is now getting our site listed in an official topic on twoplustwo forums, currently the biggest forum about online poker. Additionally we wish to get ourselves listed on pocketfives.com and have a pokerstrategy.com promotion.

The attention and traffic we will get from listing our site on these forums/sites will get us from break-even to highly profitable almost instantly and the income from the new players will allow us to grow at a way faster rate than we currently are.  Main issue at this point is that these various sites demand  multiple months of advertising payment up front for getting us listed and we don't have sufficient fundings to do so.

As this point SatoshiPoker is already listed on bitfunder.com, but has not yet performed an IPO on its shares, as we agreed with our current investors and founders to IPO once the site is making a steady profit and thus giving a good ROI on their initial investment. The current shares are visible in the Asset List.

We are looking to sell 5% of our company's shares, to get 400 BTC in fundings to get ourselves listed on the above sites. We would prefer to get one single investor on board as this will allow SatoshiPoker to IPO more smoothly than with multiple investors.

When interested in investing in a growing company, with a high earning potential, please send me a PM. To prevent our standard trolls (see our service topic in the gambling section) from messing up this thread, this topic will be posted locked and reopened when we announce IPO on bitfunder.com.

Please verify that the email in your account is correct.

I tested the password reset feature on several accounts and it worked.

However it did land the email in the spam folder so also look out for that.

Glad you got your password working again.

Yes correct sorry I misspoke.

We are working to fix this issue and will update you all when it's fixed.

Check your spam mail.

Our reset emails tend to land in that folder.

I talked to our developers and they told me that this has been fixed in the latest version.  Can you download it here and let us know what happens.

We have pushed back the 10,000 GTD to 10PM EST DUE to requests by several gamers from grindabit and BTCTALK.

Sometimes it does that when your connection is too slow.

We will look to see if we can nullify this error message.

What rating again?
