We just have to be very careful on internet, you dont have to trust anybody you meet on social media, scammers  are coming up with new strategy daily just to scam people of their money, never send your wallet private key or your confidential details to anybody and if you are trying to help anybody you meet on the internet, you have to be very careful because the person might be trying to scam you. we all think some tricks all those hackers do use are cheap but lots of people are falling for it.

1)  really sorry for no comms last few days, I understand the frustration.  Sometimes life happens at the worst times and you come back to a shitstorm.
2)  ST6 is primarily focused on getting SwC back
3)  balances are available for withdraw.  big ups to hdev for handling them.
4)  bitcoins are safe, and I reiterate that they are available for withdraw if you'd like them.  Big ups to all of ST6 for this, with the MVP going to hdev
5)  No clue how long we will be down, it's in ST6's hands and it looks like it may be a bit.  I'm not going to say anything further until I spend a bunch of hours understanding the exact nature of the issue.
6)  tyvm for playing SwC, and I understand how frustrating it must be not to have it right now.  As many of the beta testers can verify (please, speak up now, I understand I swore you all to secrecy but it's totally cool now) we are very close to dropping absolutely super-nasty bitcoin poker 2.0 software.  We have been playing live games for small stakes for a few weeks now, and I can promise the bitcoin poker world we are going to drop this all over your faces very soon.  During this unplanned, extended downtime please thing about our history, and how we have consistently delivered since 2011.

Bear with us, I wanna dealer's choice too

OK so here is my two cents:

First, it seems clear that from a business perspective, the current krill roll situation is unsustainable and fails to reward the people who are earning their keep so to speak.
There are several interesting proposals as to what should be done. That's off this posts' topic.

Second, given the way krill has been structured, people such as donk4U did bust their asses in the cash games and did so primarily for the benefit of the juicy prize offerings of the higher krillmnts. This sacrifice must be considered and finding a fair way to compensate people for this is imperative to maintaining a loyal customer base. It's true many of the people don't play much anymore, but they invested a significant amount of time and rake, eyeing the benefits of the regularly scheduled high prize krillmnts. In deciding to invest that kind of time and rake on seals, most players probably realized that the krill promotion was subject to change, but, because they trusted in the general fairness to the players that seals has always demonstrated, they made a consciense decision to earn Seals krill. They and I assume that some kind of compensation for this time will be worked in to whatever new promotional things happen in conjuncion or in replacement of the current one. If Seals does not carefully take into account the trust and sacrifice of these seals they will regret it.

Third and finally, given that people knew there was a risk and chose to take it, presumably as I have suggested because of their trust in the general fairness of Seals admin,  said players, be they cash game players tournament playlers or idiots, should not get their knickers all in a twist before they even hear what the changes are! These players need to realize that Seals MUST make changes. They cannot sustain an indefinite retirement program and need to make some changes. If seals goes down there still will be no krillmnts.
