I want to thank all the players for their overwhelming support of Seals.
Freemoney also deserves thanks, for he is charged with a tough task and does it awesome.
The initial affiliate interest has been extremely encouraging. I am very proud to be a part of SealsWithClubs and will be proudly displaying my patch tomorrow for the $1k Bellagio 5-diamond position poker NL tourney. Twitter updates / pix obv.
may sell the last $300 of it for btc at small markup...
Are you saying we can sponsor you? or buy into your $1k tournament? Then whatever you win, you're giving 30% to whoever buys in to support you? That sounds awesome. Precisely! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=112291.msg1367638#msg1367638I won the event last year (position poker) for over $15k when it was a $500 buy in. This year it is $1k and I'm going to take a few hundred of myself and sold some to friends that know I'm a shenanigans poker master and will be selling some for btc at a very low 1.15 markup. (you pay $1.15 for every $1 of action) and I have around 30 btc left to sell. |

If listening to MC Front-a-lot's Defcon 2012 "Secrets of the Future" more than twice I feel I am now qualified to comment on one-time pads. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZP8VghUuX7MMaybe it's just this stupid human brain in my head, but I sort of refuse to accept AOAKN HVPKD FNFJW YIDDC RQXSR DJHFP GOVFN MIAPX PABUZ WYYNP CMPNW HJRZH NLXKG MEMKK ONOIB AKEEQ WAOTA RBQRH DJOFM TPZEH LKXGH RGGHT JRZCQ FNKTQ KLDTS FQIRW AOAKN 27 1525/6 that is totally unhackable. It will likely need a savvy human or 2 with the aid of a savvy computer or 2 and try and bunch of top-level shit that the computers can churn on for a hot minute. I.e. first test that makes sense to me is "what if those 5 letter groupings each represent one letter or number" code the nuts out of a program to try many different odd ways to add up those letters / divide by 1 then 2 then 3 then take the last digit and match it against a decending alpha-numeric list and see if it spells "COORDINATES 12"W 67"N and try obviously a large number of schemes, a large number of iterations within each scheme... might be a cool incomplete information computing task... and I hereby fully accept what appears to be the case here and I'm a stupid human who cannot wrap his head around 1xPad cryptography and Frontalot lied to me and said a children's speak-n-spell could crack it in 2025. |

http://www.cnn.com/2012/11/23/world/europe/uk-wwii-pigeon-mystery/index.htmlWhy can't anyone break this code? they claim it might have involved a "one time pad" uh... can't we super-compute the code on out of there real quick? would be cool if bitcoiners did it... would get the community very positive attention. Preferably a female cryptographer or a young kid. That would be perfect for the media. We just *have* to have bad-ass cryptography experts combing these forums... (I am not one of them)

whoa, I clicked my 'E' and it dropped away, I had no idea, why did it do that?
It's by design. To get a free slot if u need it to store something else. If there were Scavengers at the bottom they would pick the letter. I love you. Scavengers? So I can just buy the biggest fish right? just deposit enough to make mine bigger just to floss it? |

Selecting A Winner[/size]
We take every transaction hash and create a sha256 hash from it. If you purchased multiple tickets in the one transaction we rehash more times with an extra number at the end each time until you have the same amount of sha256 hash's as ticket entries.
It's then a process of finding the one with the highest number. In the case there are multiple with the same number, they move on to the next round where we rehash them then repeat the process.
This goes on until just the one entry remains and becomes the winner.
The whole process is automated by a script in our system to save a lot of time.
IMO 2 things jump out at me when I read your pitch: 1) Incomplete info on how a winner is selected: you will need to provide a full, detailed explanation of how you calculate a winner for this to be taken seriously. 2) Hefty rake: 50x .5 btc raffle tickets = 25 btc = ~ $300 and you ship a $150 BFL Jalapeno that may or may not be delivered? Also what if BFL does not deliver by January? Feb? March? April? |

Is only one fish big sized now or is it a static or dynamic threshold? Is there a bigger size we haven't seen yet?
I'm not following... is this a joke? genuine lol... lololololol I'm also hooked on biggest fish game so I totally understand this. i guess I'll take some time out of my fish-tending to play the Big BTC at 3pm Vegas time - come get at the biggest MTT in bitcoin each week on Seals! |

Minor improvement. Fish you can't click don't need the % shown, would clean it up a tad. Especially as it gets crowded in this ocean!
Also minor.Tthe black text on the fish is sometimes hard to read because of the black lines on the fish when I'm zoomed out a ways.
congrats on your biggest fish / did you buy it or un-seed the largest with a successful bite? |

totally hooked / have army of SWC fish now...
Q: is my fish visable / clickable / at all times or only when I'm online in browser?

1) Love OP / has been helping ppl using the fish-system with attentive PM's. Kuddos / damn fine operation so far
2) I am mutli-tabling fish game in 2 browsers.
3) just ran SealsWithClubsFISHY up to .3 btc / 2x successful bites / huge fucking day IMO
really love this unique / cool btc gaming site. I hope OP scoops up a domain + somehow can make this my screen saver, and the option when both are only to play a game of rock paper scissors to decide the bite...
I'm just spit-balling here, but this is cool.
edit: totally addicted, 4-tabling fishes...

Someone has just tried to win against 3 BTC fish. Attacked it with 30 small fish 0.1 BTC each. Now 3 BTC became 4.5 BTC.
It seems to me that a lot of attempts with small fish give less chances to win than one attempt with all powers.
vs the 4.5 fish is a 4.4 fish the best shot? If u need the highest chance than 4.5 is the best. Adjusting weight of ur fish u adjust winnings VS risk ratio. But don't split ur attack on 2-3-4 stages, coz ur victim will grow between attempts and winnings VS ratio will become worse. ok i shipped .1 coin to my fish: 1N4mSQSX8cgQshjYnVoSy7NjaTr8szFr8L then lost a bite, then shipped .11 more and now.... nothing... + I made a "MiconFISH" / sent coins to it but accidentally closed the browser - gone forever? |

pretty cool IMO. totally about to make a Micon fish + a sealswithclubs fish... maybe Freemoney beat me to it  So IMO lets say I had a really big fish, like 55 btc or something 10x what the "big" fishes were - so like, everyone is going to take a shot and bite me - what are my exact chances for survival? is it supposed to be +EV for smaller fish to bite larger? so having the largest fish is -EV and just to fly your flag? (I sort of love that model) - or is it really balanced? if i drop a headshot of BTC on my fish is it fairly impossible to bite, unless a guy comes along and lets just say makes his fish 45 vs. my 55 and takes a few bites, will he likely 1/2 me after a few shots? or after his 1st shot I take 1/2 and his next shot is only 1/2 as powerful? I NEED MORE INFO / really cool / got me thinking for sure. |

Not that this is anywhere on topic, but MPOE-PR & Staring Owl seem to disagree on this: What is the biggest driving force behind the daily volume of transactions on the major exchanges? I would bet 1.5 yrs ago it was drugs, very specifically Silk Road drugs. Today I think gambling makes up a non-negligible part of that economy, but so do many other things now 1.5 yrs later from the drug-dominated BTC economy, and I believe the drug impact has shrunk on a %-of-btc-economy basis but likely grown by all other metrics, such as users and total USD transacted. So what do you guys think, if you had to assign %'s to it, makes up the btc economy? Mt. Gox recently has ~25k btc traded per 24 hrs and about $12/btc so each 24 hours $300,000 USD worth of BTC are traded. What are they used for? Isn't there a Silk Road study every other week? I think I remember ~$20-$25M in sales each year, which would be about ~2M in trades per month, which would be about 22% of the BTC economy. IMO Drugs / Silk Road (is there any other place to buy drugs?) make up about 22% of the btc economy ATM. And when beginning to speculate upon the other 78%, I would say gambling is around 3-8%, and while someone may link me to the SatoshiDice block-chain exploder graph, let me state that they have made 15,000 btc since they have been operating. While this may generate a lot of blockchain transactions, there is only 15,000 btc worth of total loss that if you assume would be re-purchased for fresh fiat only adds 15,000 btc total worth of trades. No where near impacting daily volumes, i.e. there aren't many people winning huge and cashing out on Gox, or losing huge and always needing to buy more from Gox. (although there are a few outliers, and those outliers are hard core degenerates |

what a guy?!?! Why the generosity? Always gotta spread the bitcoin love. Every now and then when I have a good week playing on Seals I'll toss out some coin, hope a guy runs it up and learns about both bitcoin and selswithclubs. Are you partying because the starfish finally got scammerified? Lolz just took a look at long-term offers for the first time in a while. That section has been clear-cut, as it should be. I stopped being active when it was clear the house of cards was falling and it no longer seemed like a legitimate section to new users. I just toss out free Seals chips from time to time / this one didn't have to do with anything but I'm glad Patrick finally got the scammer, he caused so much harm to the naive with his A++ scam credit ratings in addition to his own personal scam. |

I would bet that right now SealsWithClubs is #2 in the bitcoin gambling world, based on all metrics, behind Satoshi Dice. I think that as a pure bitcoin poker play, we have taken the game beyond the "fun" level of sites and built it into something that is viable and extremely cool IMO, but obviously I'm horribly biased here As a site pro and affiliate manager, I can say that the poker community response has been extremely encouraging. By using bitcoin to lower the overhead, we now offer an active poker site with extremely low rake when compared to the traditional industry. I think this cost savings and total elimination of all payment processor headaches has made us extremely competitive. I am extremely excited to further this project in 2013, and consider it my main focus. |
