I wasn't quite up to keep replying to this redundant thread. But taken it insists to not die... For starters there's a "shit load" of mix-concepts around on labor rights and duties (yes, employees have duties). When we talk about employment covered by minimum wage we're talking about labor and therefore the following duties applies over the employee: - Have a working schedule during which he has to perform within the functions he was hired to do.
- Have a non-disclosure and loyalty agreement with his employer party.
Therefore, the minimum wage is a small fee to pay for such deal. The use of market fallacies such as "if I underpay someone will pay more" would imply that someone else outside the company knows you're underpaying, so the NDA is most likely broken. Also if you put someone working 12 hours/day I doubt the poor bastard still get time enough to look for another job. There're however "jobs" where minimum wages doesn't apply, such a voluntary, partnership, cooperative... If you want plain old "I own you" sort of employment, then I believe it's pretty fair that you get the whole package that comes along with it: minimum wage included. |

The shuffle is doing by merging 2 arrays -> srand to microtime + rand -> shuffle. Here's the function: (translation: Cartas = Cards, naipes = Suits, baralho = Deck - that's what the vars mean) function start_deck(){
$cartas = array("A","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","J","Q","K");
$naipes = array("c","s","d","h");
$baralho = array();
foreach($cartas as $c){
foreach($naipes as $n){
$baralho[] = $c . $n;
}
}
srand(microtime() * 100000 + rand());
shuffle($baralho);
$this->deck = $baralho;
$this->pointer = 0;
mysql_query("UPDATE blackjack SET baralho = '".implode(",",$baralho)."' WHERE id = " . $this->game_id);
}
I'm just scratching my head over a hand here... I just log hands to check the system, so I don't know the user. It went: pocket: 8,2 (hit) - 10 3rd card: A - 11/21 then... 4th card: K  If he already had 21 why hit again? Or did the system took a while to respond and he hit again? Or wasn't aware of the game's goal... Really got me confuse. |

Decided to recycle this topic now that BJ is already up, to turn it into a poll to listen what the community wants.  I don't gamble/play isn't available because I do believe the "I don't know/Don't answer" option is somewhat a dumb question - if you don't know or don't want to answer... well, simply don't answer isn't it?  |

They can circumvent that "double spender attacker" (probably something as one as dumb or as desperate as the later MtGox/Bitcoin forum DDoSer would try to do) by simply restrict the universe of those who can access their currency.
i.e. If it's just for his town they could either setup a local network or restrict to IP's only from that town to access the blockchain.

Blackjack is now also available at mBTCasino.com (Stakes 1 to 100 mBTC [means 0,001 to 0,1 BTC])

Yup, he has a bug on the html code: <a href="mailto:admin.net">admin@movoda.net</a> Well, still the use of mailto: links is way deprecated these days as the spam crawlers will make you receive more junk than what spamassassin and your mailbox can bear. |

Back on the old times, when D&D was either a board or book games, I used to play Fighting Fantasy which had nothing of that. Wiki hereSo I guess I'm "nonaligned". |

Did you already try to contact to the email given on his site?
|
|
|
|

Nah, I leave it as is.
It's meant to be anonymous, so no player is identified anyway. When I look to the registered players I can only recognize 1 or 2 nicks from the forum, the rest is all scrambled.
Well... "lucky me", that bogus deposit is still unclaimed, since I don't know who did it. Probably its owner prefers to keep his anonymity over claiming it back.

From my experience your host was quite good. Even if my project didn't took off and meanwhile SgtSpike already created something alike.
Still used it to develop a site to a friend and to show an example to another, on both cases FTP, MySQL and HTTP was very fast.
Maybe in a near future you can get other packages for another price... and maybe it should be paid yearly or so. So whether BTC goes up or down during that year, it's paid.

I really don't know how to get feedback out of an anonymous casino, as the players and winners don't normally come out and kiss the casino owner. For me is one of those things, as long as it stays in 0 it's already good feedback |

love the graphics And how about the sweet voice of our lovely dealer and the ambiance music? |

As we all know, BTC is way volatile. But it's also true that if today EUR/USD is 1.45 and tomorrow 1.40, your coffee will still cost 1 EUR if you are in Europe or 1 USD if you're in the States, unless one of them really bumps (which would mean either European or American economies had ruined) there's no change in the end-consumer prices due to currency fluctuation.
So, for BTC we could come up with a simplified conversion table for people running business with it; something like:
BTC/USD low - BTC/USD high - Simplified conversion
0.10 0.30 0.25
0.30 0.60 0.50
0.60 0.85 0.75
0.85 1.25 1.00
1.25 1.75 1.50
1.75 2.25 2.00
2.25 2.75 2.50
2.75 3.50 3.00
3.50 4.50 4.00
4.50 5.50 5.00
(...)
The use of a simplified table will not stop fluctuation, but will help on stabilization.

After see him in court in the news, maybe due to the yellowness of the picture, DSK really resembled Mr. Burns from the The Simpsons. Except maybe for not be bald.

Well, well... for Portugal and its negotiations with the IMF I guess we can use Renato Seabra (and his corkscrew), which happens to be in the same jail as DSK, to get a better deal. |

When I try and do anything in firefox v3.6.17 with the TOR plug in it says:
"The proxy server is refusing connections
Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.
* Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
* Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is
working."
Suggestions?
You need to have Tor running. The Tor-plugin just configures your FF to use Polipo/Privoxy as Proxy doesn't include Tor itself. |

@moa 3 places per table, but it's single player. (Lolz... we're looking for gals now... thinking about Dominique Strauss-Khan for advice on who to hire ) come on! stop using flash :-/
there is the HTML5 :-|
grrrrrrrr....
HTML5 sucks (period). If you want to crash browsers (and computers along) you're plainly free to do so... meanwhile let anyone use whatever they want. I'm not a *that* flash fan, but it's still the best thing around for this kind of things.  P.S. - BTW... what would HTML5 do there?! You mean probably JS and Ajax... (my dice game is 100% JS-made for an instance) HTML5 just adds the "self-embedded" multimedia and sucks specially because the browsers' built-in plugins for this purpose are way worse than Adobe's plug-in, exception maybe to Safari. Still recall the "SVG demo of Firefox 4" - «Press here to see what your browser can do now»... well, in a regular nVidia 6150SE IGC what it did was hang and crash. |

Nevermind, for some folks there's no "France" but "Europe" and we all speak French http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANTDkfkoBaI I don't see why someone would judge the whole population of a country based on the actions of one of its citizens. I'm still glad to know that in NY anyone has the right to justice, on some countries a guy with the wealth of DSK would simply runaway or the victim wouldn't stand even a chance to accuse him. |

As I said in off-topic I was doing final tests on a Blackjack game for BTC. With that done and looking fine, I decided to add it to my "Bitcoin casino", yet for today I'll not enable it's real play features (even if they're already there and ready), expect to get it real quite soon anyway. Play for real bitcoins is enabled now.You may find it here: http://www.bityacht.com/index.php?p=slots next to Keno. Due to the quality of the BJ, I decided to not let it open to guest players, guests still may play on old games. So you need to login or register - registration resumes to user and password. If you don't know how to play Blackjack you may consult the rules at Wikipedia, it's quite a straight forward and easy to learn game anyway. The following rules applies on mine: - Dealer ALWAYS deals to 17 unless all players busted - this means that even if your hand is 12 and the dealer has 13 the dealer still have to pull cards until have a hand over 17 or bust
- Blackjacks are just the "natural" ones, A+10 point cards deal, making a Blackjack after a split counts as a normal 21
- Splits can be done with same value cards, despite they've the same face or not
Any questions or doubts else, just ask. Screenshot:  Relying on the success of this HD-mode (game "natural" screen is HD720p - 1280x720) I'll work on more casino games. |

You can create more than 2 nicks.
Sure, but again, the feedback system just gives you some advice, doesn't tell you to go trust blindfolded in someone. |
