Really only 3~4 people every $10 freeroll? Was hoping there would be more people Sad
Guys, they are totally free...

StrikeSapphire has good roulette. Only tried two spins though but won both times (f* yeah, red color ftw!).

Or use this link if you plan to sign up and want to be a bro (referral link, it won't do anything to your account though, will only give me a bonus if you deposit).
Note: US not allowed to sign up

If you feel like playing hold 'em instead of roulette please pm me and i will most likely join you Smiley.

10 minutes until the first freeroll  Grin
If 2 more people registers for it, not looking bright :/

edit: nvm, seems like you changed to 3 people minimum?
64  Economy / Gambling / Re: Your all-new, full custom Bitcoin casino is here ;) on: July 22, 2011, 03:43:20 PM
Any word on timezone? Would like to know exactly when "9PM" is, is the timezone adjusted after the user or does it simply use server time?
Also thanks for the max pass change.

Due to the anonymous nature of bitcoins it would be possible though, but if you respect the company/don't want to possibly hurt them you shouldn't try to.

5. Thanks, now the only thing missing is players.

Lol. We're actually pretty happy with the start so far. Give it a couple weeks... there are a lot of regular players who still just need to get some Bitcoins. But we are trying to start building a poker game around Sunday evenings, so stop by...we'll have a few things going on.

About the question of private proxies, all we can do is assess the overall risk. You're a bitcoiner, which means you're probably in the 99.9th percentile of risk for actually having a private proxy out of the worldwide population, but we deal with it on a case-by-case basis (everyone in our system has a risk score based on factors you'd probably find surprising, separate from IP address). We reserve the right to request further ID verification at any time. In your case, the risk showed up as low, and I'm pretty sure our system was right. But if we messed up you can show us your American passport and we'll refund your original deposit... As it is, all players will have to show ID to use any payment method other than Bitcoin, and we've already been forced to tighten our checks on Canada to prevent cross-border traffic; all Canadians must now show ID, even if they score high against our system.

We're probably the only online casino in the world that performs verification checks against players prior to their first deposit, as opposed to their first withdrawal. We do it to speed up the withdrawal process and take care of good players faster. I personally find it repugnant for a casino to sit on your money right when you want to withdraw.

Yet it's funny that so many Americans find the time to try and trick a new gaming site into thinking they're from another country, trying to get us into trouble (we've caught about 20 cases in two days and counting), but they can't get their shit together to make their own supposedly democratic government legalize online poker. Maybe they're all feds. Some guy with a sense of humor just signed up with the username "NotAnFBIAgent" which is pretty funny if you think about it; I think technically we could take his bets based on such a sworn statement (hah), but the lawyers would likely disagree with me there. But what can you do, people want to play and live in a free country and be left alone...I get it. Not to sound callous but it turns out that they don't live in a free country, and I'm not sure why we should bear the responsibility for the US not being able to control its own citizens when we're trying everything we can to not break their laws. But enough of that. You were cleared, you're sitting on a normal DSL line in Sweden if I'm not mistaken? You would have been disconnected a lot more often...the games would have been unplayable if you were bouncing through that connection from the US.

The password thing is in the works and hopefully you got our email about the disconnect...if not, let me know. Thanks again, this is really the kind of serious, constructive feedback that will help us make the site work better.

Actually got a private proxy (proxy located in the US though Cheesy)
DSL(vDSL) from Sweden is correct.

I believe the hand i got when coming back from the disconnect was a 10 & queen of heart, The thing that makes me think it wasn't really an disconnect is because i typed something in the chat ~1s before i got disconnected (pretty sure it went through), and didn't have any problem connecting to the site after the disconnect either. It might have been something with the browser though, using Chrome/Win7 but you probably already know that Tongue

What timezone to refer to when checking in on Sunday evening to play? Also what timezone is all times @ the site specified in? Does it check client local server time or does it go by server time?

The interesting part is that i couldn't login after i was disconnected though, it didn't tell me that i inserted the wrong password, it just didn't tell me anything. However when i refreshed the page i was thrown right back into the game (with a new hand, 10 & queen of heart). Will try to get some more information if it happens again, didn't really think about it when it happened.


Why do you prevent players with U.S. IPs? It looks really stupid...

If FBI want to take legal action against your casino, they can register from non-US private proxy (which is NOT in your blacklist), then claim you illegally accept payments from USA players.
They could also most likely issue fake ID's etc. If you are in US and really want to play, you will most likely find a way, however it's probably easier to just play on the sites you are allowed to i think? Then there's also the whole question about bitcoins not being a real currency, but i don't think strikesapphire wants to put themselves in a gray zone and destroy the possibility of getting licensed in the US.
66  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: How to maximize a 5830? on: July 22, 2011, 02:27:39 AM
How much power does a 5830 need?  I did some research and saw that each one takes about 380W at full load? Is that true?
Most likely no. using 2*5850 with 550w corsair PSU, both ~10% OC'd (mem clock at 300 though), 2*1tb hdd, i3 530.

Barely any fans (1 chassi fan, 2 fans for gpu, 1 for cpu, all stock), no cd/dvd drive.

However i don't recommend 550w for 2*5850, i'm actually a little bit scared something might fuck up.

tl;dr: they most likely run at max 150w at full load, let's say 200w to really be safe:
Calculation to determine how many watts you should get to be really really be safe: 1.10*(175*x cards)+150=whatever
(*1.10 because PSU is not 100% efficient)
Having about 50w less than what this calculates shouldn't be a problem though.
67  Economy / Gambling / Re: Your all-new, full custom Bitcoin casino is here ;) on: July 22, 2011, 02:06:54 AM
Thanks for sending the feedback.

1. We'll look into why you were disconnected. There's no immediate evidence of it, although the first suspect is definitely connectivity, if it was a bug we'll try to track it down (if you remember the hand number that would help?)

2. We actually just revamped the password / relogin process... the way this works, it doesn't change your password, but gives you a one-time-use entry key back into the site, where you can change your pass. Using the reminder tool triggers certain red flags in our system if done more than once...but a withdrawal freeze isn't a bad idea. We'll think about it.

3. We're trying to make it easy for players in legal countries to deposit. If there's any reason to think you're not where you put (there isn't) you won't be able to play until we verify your ID.

4. This password issue needs to be fixed and will be fixed shortly. It's an inconsistency between pieces of the software. We'll up the max length to 20.

5. ...we've just brought back $0.10/0.20 stakes and $2 buyin tournaments for the moment, with a $1 max rake. Just for NL Holdem, by request Wink
Ah thanks Smiley

About 1: Not sure which hand it was, but it was the hold 'em room with the 2 (1) bots in it, there was some other guy in the same room when i disconnected, he was gone when i came back ~1min after though. It might not be something serious though, can report it if it happens again.

2. I totally forgot that most other sites actually can grant access to someone who forgot their pass by email only haha (So i guess my account on any site isn't more secure than my email, damn. One could get seriously fucked up for getting their email pass stolen)

3. Just thought it was kind of strange, wouldn't it be very easy to play through a private proxy that only oneself has access to? (EU/SWE here, just as i put) I guess your "security" isn't worse than any other place though, with the only difference being that a credit card is a semi-good ID and is required to deposit on any other place.

4. Why stop at 20 Wink There might be people who want >20 chars, i don't think anyone would really complain at 20, but even 32 or higher would probably ensure that everyone is happy.

5. Thanks, now the only thing missing is players.

If anyone wants to play a $2 tournament feel free to check tomorrow (Friday) at 6pm GMT, will most likely create a table at that time (http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/) - or just send me a message and maybe we'll set up a time to play a few hands.
68  Economy / Gambling / Re: Your all-new, full custom Bitcoin casino is here ;) on: July 22, 2011, 12:38:44 AM
1. Got disconnected while playing a hand, not really sure why. Was unable to login on the site after that which was strange, reloaded the site and it put me right back at the table again though, i don't think it was connectivity issues but some kind of glitch that might be worth looking into (was using the chat at the same time that i got disconnected)

2. Requesting to get your password back sends you an email with a link in it, clicking this link will automatically log you in to the site no questions asked, might want to consider freezing withdraws for 3 days or so after to prevent someone getting their money stolen (or only accept withdraws to an address that was used for depositing).

3. Haven't ID'd myself yet but was still able to deposit, i remember reading something about that ID's are required before depositing/playing? Is there any other way but webcam/fax?

Sorry for the bad structuring but i hope what i wrote made sense.

~Daniel.

Edit: 4. During signup i was able to use more than 12 characters for my password (there was a "warning" saying you can only have 6-12 characters but it went through just fine), now when attempting to change password it won't let me have 20char pass. What is the reason for not allowing over 12 chars to begin with and why was i able to register with more than 12 chars?

5. Please lower the minimum buy in for tournaments, $5 is quite a lot to experiment & trying out your site with. $.25/$.50 isn't quite as bad but i don't think $.10/$.20 would hurt.
69  Economy / Gambling / Re: Your all-new, full custom Bitcoin casino is here ;) on: July 21, 2011, 09:08:27 PM
Depositing worked great, no players yet though Sad

Maybe we should set up a time that some people will agree to play at to get any game started until there is some more activity?

Also support responded fast, typed the wrong email and contacted ssaCEO about it and it was changed within a few hours.

This thread probably belongs in the gambling forum though.

Edit:
If anyone is interested in playing some hold 'em please join me tomorrow (Friday) 6pm GMT (http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/), will sadly only play low bets (0.25, 0.50) to start with though.

Didn't find any way to see when transactions where made to and from an address, exactly what command do you have to use to get the timestamps, if possible at all?

Thanks, Daniel.

Ignore that guy, I'll pay 0.2 btc for your credit card info! No offers to fill out, no hassle!
Could give you the info of 100 credit cards easily, they will be empty though. 20 btc, deal?
=/

Believe there are quite a few banks that allow you to generate virtual online credit cards that has a set amount of money in it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v​=HTt2_4W55wI
I sure as hell see no difference between those 2 links, however the bottom one doesn't work?? WTF???

There is something wrong with the "v=" part in the second one, however i can't quite find any difference, seriously, if you copypaste the second one and just remove the "v=" part and type it in manually the video loads fine.

Most weird thing '11.

edit: judging by where they link it seems like there is a hidden character in between the "v" and "=".

Here is the invisible character: ​
Try copypaste everything after the ":" into a textbox and then move through it with the arrows on the keyboard and you will see there is something there, what the f*ck is this character lol? Never seen anything like it heh.

alkhdaniel, great! I was looking for something like this.
But I can't download it from solidfiles. Sad Could you re-upload them plz?
http://www.multiupload.com/H87JSOELJW (contains both ticker & trade)
I think this is the exact same script (just looked through it fast before rarring/uploading), might have changed some small detail but doubt it.
If your server accepts JSON and you have some experience in coding you should go with the bitcoinusa.com-code since it's a little bit cleaner than mine though, also mine might not always work (it doesn't send HTTP_USER_AGENT to the server and it seems like mtgox needs this sometimes, atleast there was some problems with the script after the hack a half month ago but i believe it works flawlessly now again). Might fix this little problem if there was some more interest in it though.

Call me dumb but why include the 10% and not just say a resonable pay-per-share?

Also what is a resaonable price to purchase enough shares to find a block(obviously not garunteed but just an estimate)? Or is that bad bussiness to ask for such a thing on the thread.
50BTC+10% (55BTC) should be enough shares to find a block, kind of obvious when you think about it hehe.

So you are basically paying 50+5BTC (in average) to find your (first) block. It could be MUCH higher or lower though, it's all about luck.
77  Economy / Services / Re: Wanted: simple scalable version of poster made. Will pay 1BTC. on: July 12, 2011, 08:29:53 AM
It really isn't "possible" to make it an SVG due to complex graphics (van, phone, etc)

Converted the .pdf to a higher dpi png image (text should be much more clear, and perhaps the logos at the bottom, not sure): http://i.solidfiles.net/9127d.png
Tell me if it solved any of your problems.

edit: definitely made the logos at the bottom much more clear

Sure, but I was really after a hi-res of the modified version Smiley  Should work OK as an A4 poster.

Thanks,
Rusty.
Is it necessary for the objects (the van etc) to also be more hi-res, because that's almost impossible. The text itself is easily fixed since it's already scalable in the pdf. If it's ok with only the text pleas reply with what dimensions you want, the one i linked was ~4000x5000 pixels for reference. Heh, just noticed i scaled the wrong image, nvm. Can make a replica of the edited version and upscale the text too, sec.

I guess you're right, I just see this as a very valuable promotional tool (externally) that he could use to give his own visitors the ability promote his products on websites they frequent. In the way you designed it originally, it would be very easy to just call your script with the item id number and display a textbox with the bbcode formatted links for a user to copy/paste into the forum of their choice.

This would definitely be a bonus. I hadn't originally thought of such a setup, but it'd be of great use.
This can do that.

Also is this what you originally looked for? (~15s load time)

Please reply or post here if that's what you want and/or you want to change something, can throw in the first script for free.

you can get a custom LP cut (the actual machinery is fairly expensive) by a service, for about 50 USD.

how many private keys can you get on one? Wink

i dunno.  it would depend on how much redundancy you felt was adequate.

an LP holds as much music as a CD though - right?  so a few hundred meg, less the data cost of analog>digital translation.
It's analog, there is 0 bytes on it.

edit:
and it would be much cheaper to store everything on paper and scan it instead, MUCH cheaper.
80  Economy / Services / Re: WTB: Script to parse website and create a table & text formatted for forum on: July 06, 2011, 05:48:40 PM
Something like http://91.215.158.89/~twyxgiv/cablesaurus/cable.php?id=10 ? (change the id=10 to the id of something in your shop to confirm that it actually works)

Can change it to loop through all id's and parse it a little nicer (so it fits this forum better) and sell the script to you if this is what you're interested in.


edit:
Parsed it to make it possible to copypaste into forum without editing anything, example of id=10:
PCIe x1 -> x16 Adapter Extender Cable
$14.45 or B1.13

* Brand New
* x1 to x16 slot adapter
* Adapter is x1 socket modified to fit larger cards
* Great for intense gaming & Bitcoin mining
* Works for all PCIe bus versions
* 19cm maximum length extension for graphics cards & sound cards
* Ensure proper airflow in your system by creating more room in tight-fit cases


like this? (note: takes ~15-20s to load)

Meh? http://www.snipe.net/2009/03/quick-and-dirty-php-caching/
Not seeing why this would be necessary since the script would only be ran when he needs to update the thread (meaning he has changed description on an item, thus making the cache useless). The page is not supposed to be public for anyone to view, i just put it up as proof of work (and to see if this is what he wanted).

Or did i miss something?

He could run it on a cron and it would be instantly available for him, instead of having to wait 15-20s each time, procing the script.
But it would either be not up to date information unless he runs it about once a minute (and then he would have to wait 15-20s every 4th time anyway, and it would take up MUCH more resources). The script is for getting the most up to date information of product information, not yesterdays information. Also if the script was run locally it probaly would not take 15-20s, not that waiting 15-20s should be a problem since you can just prepare to edit the old post during that timeframe or simply wait (seriously, its less than 1/4th of a minute of WAITING time compared to 15-30 minutes of parsing it manually).
Also if having the information in less than 15s is critical you could just save everything in a .txt every time the script is run instead of playing around with caches, this would still require using up more resources and probaly get outdated information.

I might still be misunderstanding something though, not sure..?
