the lust is there, and that's great.

SwC loves you guys

here, 1 of you have 50 chips

May-E5VPZSHR21

1)  when I first started playing SwC, in early 2011, I thought the krill system was stupid and asked Freemoney to scrap it right away.  Boy was I wrong.

2)  unlike other sites, krill never goes down, only up.  Your krill RB% can only go up, so it needs to go slow.  My krill level right now is ~250k, good for 27% RB.  Now obviously I'm the Chairman site pro, but if I were a regular player I'd be happy about this now.  Also, I'm not a super-grinder, meaning I don't have 4x tables of cash up every day for 4+hrs, so this level is achievable in a reasonable timeframe.

3)  The system can certainly use tweaks, and we are going to tweak as the site continues.  Expect a more logical progression and yes we will make a prize for 5000 krill eventually too   [we get that 1 lots]

Hi,

sometimes a chat needs a-blackin', usually do to excessive trolling or chat-flooding.

The fact that it was blacked, and not fully removed, usually means the person didn't do severe harm and just needed a time out.  I likely forgot to un-time out, but that's the risk you run when you fuck up the SwC chat!

No problems to email me micon@sealswithclubs.eu after the fact if it seems like the punishment went on too long.

First units sold and shipped. 

Ran into some issues with eBay (they lol-ishly label ecig a tobacco product and thus ban it's sale)  so posted up the first kit on bitmit.

getting lots of positive feedback so far.  Seems that ecig may be perfect for bitcoin, now that paypal-ebay don't like it...

I am pretty sure there is a 7 chip cap on sub-100 bb limit games... Freemoney will verify this soon.

we will always keep adjusting rake so it is fair

ok, I'll bite.

what is a "local" online poker room?

Yes, we plan to expand to a full suite of flavors, nicotine levels, and hardware devices.

We are starting simple, selling something that IMO a current smoker that knows nothing about vaping should buy to see what a "real" setup delivers

A quick update from a Seal Team 6 meeting last night:

Server side improvements continue.  The boys tested a new piece of complex code that does some important shit.  It was cool, I got to play it for a while.  Yes, when ST6 congregates I'm like the child that runs into the movie and doesn't understand and has to ask the adults.  The adults don't tell me much, and I like it that way.  blissfully ignorant, playing with their amazing new toys.

Note that massive multi-human efforts continue where you cannot see.  ST6 is busting hump for the players.  We want new games, massive tourneys, a huge super-site for all to fire on - and the new-new is being actively worked on.

Thanks again for the outpouring of support, and while it will still likely be months before our players get that "ah-ha" Oprah moment, note that we are working hard towards that, and after you get that 1st ah-ha, the months following that will make your jaw hit the ground.

Gonna come at 'em hard this time.

tyvm.  There is unfortunately not a lot of study or information out there about ecigs or vaporizing nicotine in general.

IMO there currently exists and effort from the tobacco industry to fight the mainstream acceptance of ecigs, and IMO in the coming years it will get harder.  These things are going to kill a a % of smokers, and that rich, old-ass, politician-pocketing industry will fight back hard.

Any specific questions you have been vaping for ~2 yrs now.

any questions you have I can answer here or PM or vapedontsmoke@gmail.com



For proper accounting, you need to use the bitpay checkout system.


you are only vaping a mixture of nicotine, pg, vg, and flavoring.  Forget the ~7000 other chemicals you usually ingest by combusting tobacco.  Will the FCC come at me bro if I say it's much fucking safer, obviously?  maybe.  But I currently live in a police state.

Just launched site. 

still working out the kinks.

shipping an affordable ecig setup complete with 16mg "usa-mix" liquid:

http://www.bitcoinvapes.com

any feedback appreciated.

Launched this site with a partner:

http://bitcoinvapes.com

We have a sister site, VapeDontSmoke.com to be market towards non-bitcoin users.

We are doing a soft-launch this week, site is live and if you pay with bitcoin today we ship your vape setup tomorrow.

Hope to make this a large business, I believe heavily in the product.

1) https://bitcoinfoundation.org/about/board  I don't know the other 3, but personally trust and respect Jon, Gavin, & Charlie 

2) The conference they put on is badass and getting massive world-wide attention for bitcoin

3) IMO they are a net positive for btc and thus have my support

I want this on record that I cannot understand Ripple.  I am not the smartest on these forums, I know that, but when I found bitcoin I keep researching the answers to questions I kept having.  I am still in that research process, 2+ yrs later:  and I'm still finding answers, and I'm never left hanging without an answer - I am always able to find it for myself or ask Freemoney to explain it to me.

With Ripple, I only generate questions, not answers.  How the pre-mine work?  what is an xrp, in reality? who got 50B xrps?  so they hold all the Ripple "debt" ?  so the initial friends of opencoin get most of the initial rights to issue trust (debt) ? - I watched that video about Gateways and pathways and became extremely confused.  I cannot find any answers.  How do I sell 1 btc for USD?  Is this possible with ripple?

It seems way too complex and not needed in any way. 

I have said this about litecoin / devcoin / feathercoin [lol] / the other alt-cryptos - there is 1 world-wide adopted crypto-currency, it's called bitcoin, and many many many businesses will be built on top of this amazing layer - PPl will try and copy this bitcoin model in many ways, trying to create another "base layer" for others to build on, but there is not a second bitcoin IMO.

After reading the whitepaper and their website, it seems to me that Ripple is trying to be bitcoin, or seems jealous of bitcoin - but again I admittedly do not understand it nor will take much more time to do so unless many of the bitcoin'ers that I respect start supporting it or at least explain it to me.

Don't forget, the BIG BTC is popping off today at 3pm Server time like it does every Sunday!

The biggest bitcoin poker tournament each week only happens at SealsWithClubs.

I'll be there, why not join me for the 950+50 with the shot at over 14 coins!  The BIG BTC is now big enough that I personally sweat this tournament, I almost never miss it, and I feel heartbroken when I fall short (I have won it twice)

but enough about me - don't you want the glory?  the coins?  the hoards of women that come with such a crypto-currency come-up? 

Enter the "BIG BTC" NOW!

ST6 just called on the red phone, said there was a scheduled server restart for ~35 minutes from now.

Server side improvement implimentation & testing.

more awesome being cooked up...


[edit]  It went smoothly.  Game back on

#madrespect to those showing up and spreading the btc gospel.

Would loved to have made it out there.  Will def. catch the next 1 in Vegas, but this 1 seem huge and is making me a bit jelly

glglglglgl bitcoin'ers in CA!

Well then allow me to tease a bit...

-- Server side improvements continue
-- Testing new modules continue
-- Linux & Mac Clients soon-ish
-- New games and features after "the hard stuff" is done.  Best guess, and it's only a guess when it comes from me, is 6 months.   I want OFC badly.  I mean really bad.  But I also want Stud / Badugi / Badeucey / 2-7 single & 3x draw / mix games / full tourney schedule / etc.

I have the blood lust for online poker action.  SwC will continue to be molded into the super-site our players ask us to make.  We are making it.  It will take a while, but it will be awesome.

Saturday's 10,000 guarantee will also have an AVATAR FTW

that's right, win the donkfest tomorrow, get one of those sweet avatars you see floating around!  Hard to get 'em!
