The same is posted here, too:


Any idea how to find the chart and text covering this issue in more depth? I've been unable to find it, even after logging in.

I see a chart labelled "1 BTC Investment Returns" which shows a positive return for every month. I don't see anything giving details of which months contributed to the 67% net loss.

Edit: maybe I should learn to read! It's clearly stated that it is on the "members accounts, wallet addresses page", https://stakeminers.com/account/wallets.php :



It looks like the price of the altcoins held by stakeminers fell relative to the price of Bitcoin in all but one month.

What would be interesting to see would be a chart showing how an investor's BTC value fared over time - whether the gains from staking ever outweigh the losses from holding a basket of alcoins.

I agree. There aren't enough players yet to get any of the tournaments running. Reduce the guarantee along with the minimum number of players until things pick up a bit.

I don't understand why the poker isn't busier. There are so many freerolls running, and the leaderboard rewards are pretty good too.

I've made 40 mBTC in a couple of days without depositing, which isn't a huge amount but people will hang around dice site faucets for much much less than that.

I just played the level 3 freeroll. I didn't see the guy who came in 2nd play a single hand - he was sat out the whole time I was on his table I think.



Active players are going out before the sat out players because they're actually playing the game. It seems a little unfair.

I think you misunderstood me.

I'm saying that if 5 people are in the same building and want to play on your site, they could each use their own phone's data connection and play with 5 different IP addresses, and you wouldn't know they were in the same building. Then, if they were cheating, it would be harder for you to detect.

If, instead, you let them all use the same IP address, you would have extra information to help detect collusion.

By forcing them to each use their own IP address you are reducing the amount of information available to you to detect collusion.

TwitchySeal made the same point. In fact I probably stole most of my thinking from him. He's a smart one.


I'm very impressed by it. I'm only posting the 'complaints' I am posting because I want to see the software improve further. Compared to the competition for Bitcoin poker, this is the best I've seen so far. SWC doesn't work if you don't have Windows, and neither does the .ag betcoin. They have an in-browser client, but it's flash based and crashes a lot. I've never tried Nitrogen - I think I read that they use the same HTML5 client as you guys.


I think your computer's MAC address goes no further than your own local router.


http://wizardofodds.com/games/video-poker/analyzer/ is very good at calculating the house edge for video poker games. I've not looked at your offering, but can do if you two can't come to agreement on the true edge.

Here's another little problem I've been having with the HTML5 poker software. As soon as I'm in 3 or more games the tiled windows are small enough that the tile icon covers one of the top-left player's hole cards. It would be nice if I could see his cards when he shows. Maybe just move him up and right a bit:

I don't think there's any need to speed up the blind levels. Just kick out the inactive players. If they paid for their seat then it's fine to be sitting out the whole game, but these guys are sitting out just hoping to take 2nd place with no effort, and it's annoying for those of us wanting to take 1st place to have to click 'raise' a hundred times to blind them out heads up.

Did you get it sorted out?

Try the CLAMs IRC channel if not - someone there will be able to help you diagnose the problem.

Maybe I got the wrong name. I thought it was zumonaris, but maybe it was something similar.

I'm not saying you play multiple accounts by the way.

Every time I see you at a poker freeroll you are sitting out.

I think you register for every game but don't play. It is annoying waiting for you to blind out.

Is there some way players can be removed from freerolls after sitting out for 12 hands in a row or something? It would make the games run much smoother and stop people abusing the freerolls like this.

(6) is Adolf. He was joking about being VultureFund.

The time it takes is dependent on the number of transactions in your wallet. I think it should take less than 10 minutes if you don't have many.

You need to shut down your current clamd first:

  $ clamd stop

Then start a new one:

  $ clamd -rescan

I don't know of a simple way, but this works for me:


Change the 10 in the 4th word to a higher number if you have a lot of non-staking transactions since the most recent stake.

It was kind of fun, but ultimately frustrating. He learned nothing.

So do I, most of the time. But once I didn't, so I posted about it.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that guy actually believes what he is saying. He's making an amateur attempt at price manipulation, that's all.

Then a -rescan should fix it.

It's the 'ismine' field you're looking at. If it's false, you didn't import the private key for that address.

Use 'importprivkey YOURPRIVKEY' in the debug console to import it.

Is there a thread somewhere offering money in exchange for posting these glowing reviews of betcoin.tm?

OK. Check that you have the private key in your wallet, by going to the debug console and running:

  validateaddress xYOURADDRESS

where xYOURADDRESS is your CLAM address.

If so, then you just need to rescan the blockchain, by running the client with the -rescan parameter.

  clam-qt -rescan

I already addressed this. My site was the first dice site you could invest in. It inspired a hundred clones. To call it "copy and paste" is ignorant.


I don't think it is a better idea. From the player's point of view they have more control of the odds at a dice site. On your site I buy tickets and don't know what my chance of winning is going to be until the game is over. At a dice site I can pick whatever chance of winning I want.


I have tried explaining what is wrong with your system and made suggestions about how to fix it. I have asked how to verify various example games and you have been unable to answer. If your game was provably fair, you would be able to tell me how to verify those games, but you can't.


I'm just kind of ADD or something. It's what I do. Some people like to watch men fighting each other or throwing balls around. I like to find flaws in websites. Yours has been an unexpectedly rich source of them.

If you use the popout windows to play, you'll see each one is visiting cubeia.com - so I guess it's theirs. Read about it here:

I just saw another error:



I am 'dooglus', am already registered, and want to unregister (because I've been waiting all day for it to fill up, and now I want to sleep), but the button says 'register', not 'unregister'. Closing the lobby and reopening it fixed it, changing the button to 'unregister'.
