Not sure exactly whats going on with boolberry but I am happily liquidating my small hedge there today,

IS IT TRUE!?!?

I agree this is an issue to some extent or another but "Any time you have 2 or more players playing at more than 1 table together, they should be auto-kicked."??  That is overly draconian IMO.  And I imagine as the recipient of the rake Micon et al don't want to virtually disallow multitabling.  For a small compony(miss you mosrite) like seals the challenge to eliminate collusion and cheating is pretty mammoth.  Stars has an entire department and proprietary reporting to help with this...

tl;dr  Your description of the problem is good.  Your suggestion of a solution is not so good.  it isn;t simple either.

And I have come to understand, believe, and celebrate the fact this means there will always be poker.

It's still fun to mock them though.

Though I appreciate your point here, and I run Arch Linux machines mostly...  You could still just buy bitcoin via the browser on any iOS device couldn't you?

FWIW, and I will not derail further, Monero and Bitcoin may exist side by side well (along with perhaps ONE alt 2.0 type coin).  Bitcoin can remain open and traceable.  A system in which records of payments are public and traceable.  And monero can do the work of the crypto swiss bank account and perhaps take the place of the crypto cash transaction.  Entirely fungible and private.

I think Seals would be crazy to take anything but bitcoin.

I also think players need to be responsible enough to manage their crypto wealth well and not do (frankly stupid) things like deposit from a poker site to an exchange hooked up to your bank account.  Part of this money revolution is learning to manage your own accounts, and privacy.

I hide a portion of my crypto in Monero now.  It is the only alt I own in any notable quantity, though I am also interested in about 3 others...  Moving Monero to bitcoin to the poker site is something I can do in all of 2 minutes.  And if I were ever to use coinbase (I will not) then they can be none the wiser of where my money has been...

But if people think the sorts of actions taken by coinbase are going away they are crazy.  This sort of privacy breech will be MAXIMIZED by both corporate entities and governments.

That list of names has always reminded me of Lost.

Locke, Rousseau, Faraday, etc.  Lost universe is full of philosophers and scientists.

Planck, Hawking, Wener (Heisenberg), Erwin (Schrodinger).  All theoretical physicists.

And this is just off the top of my head perhaps there are others too...

I've always assumed this was noticed by others... maybe even in the OP?

Who exactly is working on the GUI again? :/

I think this is obviously a perfectly reasonable position.  Seals does not have time to also run an exchange which is what taking multiple currencies is.

That said, Monero is one of the few alts which actually solves a problem.  It would make the coinbase problem go away completely.

No it's not. 

You are a moron.

Of all the problems and challenges Seals has (I will not make a list, but I could), you picked one that is entirely not real.

There are arguments to be made for different software.  Your's is not one.

Switch to checkers.

Perhaps this is what you are looking for:

Well there is the constant looming rumor of Counterparty and Overstock relationship, but to be honest the counterparty system is so kludgy I cant see how a company like Overstock would really pull this trigger.

And Counterparty is VERY high on my list of Crypto 2.0 experiments because of its general lack of scamminess as well as it's minimalist approach to features and implementation.

The whole Bitshares universe just get more and more convoluted, and it was a web of complicatedness to begin with.  I cant even begin to imagine some of the myriad attack vectors we could see with BTSX.

Which is another reason I like the Monero project so much.  It is a minimalist approach to solving 1 major problem and it aims to do a simple thing and do it well.

The recent attack is just proof that it is evolving, albeit slowly, in the right direction.

He did...

Just a note.  I am converting 80% of my BTSX distribution to XMR here at .00009490/.00392.  I hold negligible amount of any alt besides XMR at this point, and for the most part have only dabbled in a few.  Protoshares caught my attention about a year ago, and it is interesting to see the BTS project mature, but I am dubious of it's stability here.

It will be interesting to see if my timing is good.  I don't usually publish my trades publicly, but thought it would be fun.

It is hard to say what is happening with BTSX though...

Key reason for coming disaster?

Updated with new high rollers. 

Thanks to the donors. 

There are probably far less embarrassing ways to introduce yourself, but I suppose if accuracy is your thing then who am I to judge.

Am I correct that this shows the median monero holder on your list currently holds ~20k USD worth of Monero?

I care quite a bit.  If pool owners do things to make the network less secure or stable I care very much.  As pool owners have come to make up the majority of my ignore list I am beginning to see (some of) them in a distinctly negative light.

I am solo mining because of this.
