A small group of people are currently killing thousands and imprisoning millions so... I'll take my chances with the sociopaths not having a veneer of legitimacy?

when im typing my bet in at speedy pond it moves the cursor from the bet amount to the main chat when countdown starts  I'll mention that to the software company. I added a link in the cashout area to an offsite QR code for now. |

100 days? Are you using version 0.2 on a netbook?

Any chance of getting QR codes for deposit addresses?
Yes, I can do that easily if we are willing to trust a third party. I'll do it today or tomorrow but tuck it away somewhere and give a warning. When people pay via QR does their application usually show them the real address and ask for confirmation before sending? |

Since bitcoin is still in its infancy, I would say almost everyone. What bitcoin needs today to start on the path to becoming mainstream are merchants who will accept bitcoin. Without merchants, it will never become mainstream.
This is harder than it sounds. As a business trying to deal in bitcoin I have found it very difficult. The reasons I have found it difficult is people for some reason think that I should be practically giving away the hardware I sell when I do it in bitcoin, who knows why that is but most times people want to offer my 2/3rds what I would sell something in USD for. Also, because there is a big problem with trust transactions have been taking me longer to close. I'm going to keep trying for now to sell things in bitcoin but I don't know for how much longer because it has started being a bit of a pain in the neck. It is because pretty much everyone who has BTC wants it more than everything else on offer. You have to be fairly enticing to get it from people who have declined everything else. What is the trust issue? People don't trust you? |

Thanx.
I know how difficult it is to code a simple interface but I'd still shoot a few web developers...... It's their job to make things simple.
Simple and free amirite?! |

Random spec:
A lot of people mine BTC with GPU, they sell some, but have also found things they like to do with them directly. When ASICs bring the difficulty some will turn in to buyers and many who were using part and selling part will just stop selling, and some will quit mining and buy any they need, or stop selling in advance to avoid needing to buy any time soon.
Given the willingness of the first batch of ASIC receivers to pre order way in advance with lots of uncertainty they are probably not the type to need to sell immediately and presumably they have faith in long term bitcoin anyway.
Factoring in that some new players will have much larger amounts available to them I expect trend up with spikes down.

With absolutely no evidence, I'm going to claim it was expensive as fuck and the money went to someone who knew someone. Saving money, lol.

Saying in a serious way that you are leaving should be autoban because either 1. You were leaving anyway 2. You are trolling.
No downside to anyone and might eliminate troll.

This thread again, woohoo.
I hold X coins total for hundreds of people, while most of them play with the funds on site, transfer them via the site, and/or withdraw them to use elsewhere very frequently the amount I'm holding hasn't been below 78% of X in quite a long time because other coins are constantly coming in. In reality some are actually saved or forgotten, but even if EVERYONE used ALL of their coins EVERY week there is no particular reason 78% or more of the 'blockchain' coins wouldn't keep sitting still.
It means absolutely nothing.
Furthermore, if people desire bitcoin for savings that just means they are that much more desired.

any chance of 6max tables instead of just FR or HU?
We experimented with that a while back and it hurt the games. Already a lot of the action is shorthanded, adding 6max tables made it still mostly shorthanded but with more frequent waiting instead of the occasional full ring game (which lasts longer generally too since a person on the waiting list is more likely to bail than a person seated). So, it will come when we are bigger (which hopefully won't be long at all!) Btw, the SNGs are 6max and I'm not opposed to a 6max MTT, think that would go well? |

I just wanted to know if this is something that happens normally or whether it's something new.
This is the fourth drop of this magnitude in the past 75 days. - https://ferroh.com/chartsSo, ya ... bitcoin is volatile. Thanks for the link. And yeah, doesn't particularly surprise me. I'd love to be able to see the Volume of BTC trades and such over the last week or two. I wasn't really paying too much attention, but I don't recall it being at 88000 BTC. bitcoincharts.com has a lot of info you might be interested in. |

Why bother with encrypting the deck? What's the point? Just do a continuous deck shuffle where the deck is being shuffled at all times like most poker sites.
I'm highly interested in building a bitcoin poker site, thus why I ask? Maybe there is something i'm not understanding.
He is worried about anyone at all (even the site) knowing the deck because of things like the AP/UB superuser. There is clever math you can do where no one knows any part of the deck they shouldn't until they should. Ultimately you could play poker without there even being a site, you just use whatever client you want and connect to whomever you want. One of the problems of implementing this is that you can't have players running off while you still need them to finish the hand. |

Oh... and only move the windows when we click on the top header of the window... can't tell you how many times I tried to quickly drag-select the bet to type in a new amount, and ended up moving the window instead.
It is too easy to lose a window that way, though maybe another solution to that could be found, or only the entire boarder could be dragable perhaps. |

People use USD/EURO/JPY etc... because they get them as their salary, then it is very natual to use it
But if you need to spend BTC, you must first open an account in mtgox and transfer money, or setup a minning rig, that is way too complex
If someone can use BTC to pay out various online contest, more people will get access to it
Seals has a game every hour with .05BTC prize, no cost to enter. It looks like coinworker.com is still running, it has small jobs anyone can do. I think generally it will work better the other way eg, "I can do X well, here is proof, I accept bitcoins". And that happens all the time. |

disconnect issues have already been solved in poker. Pretty much every poker site has rules against Disconnect and some type of Disconnect Protection. It's really not a problem at all.
In the type of setup the OP is referring to know one at all knows the full deck during the hand and you need all of the players to help decrypt the deck at showdown. Perhaps some techniques could allow decryption with n of m players, but then you'd have to worry that n players were working together to decrypt ahead of time. |

just started playing on seals last night.. software is beyond bad, but games are good and cashouts are fast which is better than anything else in the US.. will keep playing
Glad to have you, what one or two things would make the biggest improvement in the software in your opinion? We can't control development directly, but the software company does listen. The ability to set the view to always put yourself in the bottom seat... Remembering my window placement... Reusing the table window in tournaments when I get moved from one table to another... SCROLL WHEEL BETTING SUPPORT!!! Those are good and don't seem hard, I'll pass them along. What is the trouble that reusing the window would solve? I know that the old one doesn't auto-close so that you can get your hand history from it if you want. |

Glad to have you, what one or two things would make the biggest improvement in the software in your opinion? We can't control development directly, but the software company does listen. honestly? New software. HTML5, Python, Ruby, whatever language you choose, OS Independent client that will run on OS X, Linux or Windows. Current software? Preferred Seating, Lobby Filtering, Auto Top Up in ring games, making it easier to multi-table, and just a lot of work that really isn't worth putting into it. I'm a developer and have thought about developing an HTML5 or Ruby based poker client for bitcoins. If you ever want to talk about it let me know. In my opinion(doesn't mean squat), you have to do something, otherwise when Infiniti poker launches in the next few days, you're going to be sunk. They have a decent client, accept bitcoins, and US players. I may know someone that already has a complete poker client built for HTML5 I am working on some ideas for cleaning up the lobby. I know it isn't filters, but you can sort, the best sort is to put the games with players seated at the top, or by stakes if you are looking to start a new game. You can auto top up. On the add chips dialog box there is a checkbox for rebuying automatically. For multitabling I recommend turning OFF the "bring active table to front" because it doesn't respect your turn at other tables. If you cascade the tables from upper right to lower left, the action buttons will show on every table and you can see when it is your action. I'm not interested in buying something that doesn't exist yet, but if you or someone you know has something in a reasonable price range please do write to me at admin@sealswithclubs.eu. |
