There is WAY too much time given at 50/100+ until the countdown starts.

I'm happy to give people ample timebank, but there is SO much time to wait BEFORE the timebank kicks in.  a number of players complain every day about some asshole playing too slow and it would be in the interest of Seals to have people playing faster.

even if you guys just implement a change preflop, that would mostly fix the problem.

I'll switch 50/100 to the faster time soon. Can't make it just preflop though.

The reason it is so slow is that there is no d/c timebank. When we get that ever game will have faster normal time.

Any way we coud get a nightly "SUPER" NL and/or PLO MTT at 6PM-10PM Pacific for 475+25-950+50 BI

The medium-high ring games ususally get crazy (big pots) during/after "big" MTTs.  Thanks for any consideration and great job on the site!

speaking of big MTTs...

the biggest bitcoin tourney each week goes down at 6pm every single Sunday only at SealsWithClubs - in about 13 hours.

2btc buy in, 60 bitcoin guarantee that Freemoney faithfully pays if there is an overlay.  I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be a big one, as the word about Seals does continue to spread throughout the poker world.  Still whispers at this point, but the affiliate program is going to help a bunch.  Get at affiliates@sealswithclubs.eu and start earning that 20%

do you block people from the same IP address from playing on the same table?  i think most other poker sites do.

Yes, but only as of about a month ago. It applies to all ring games.

Would actually like to see The Drifter remain. I like the idea of having a tournament that rotates around instead of at a fixed schedule.

Maybe it doesn't have to be the same buy-in or guarantee, but it is a good name for a tournament, and a good concept. Would be a shame to end it.

What security precautions do SWC take against hackers?

For example, if some hackers did manage to break into your server and steal every bitcoin in unencrypted wallets on that server, would the users take the loss or are you enough protected to still be able to continue the site and/or pay out users that requests it? How many, percentage wise, of the coins in your system are stored in a) offline storage and/or b) properly encrypted wallets?

After all the hacking recently, I don't know if I would trust any service that does not store enough coins on offline servers to still function should a hacking take place.

I can and would take the loss. The large majority of deposits are in two encrypted off-server wallets, the exact percentage fluctuates.

Freemoney answered this very important questions about hot wallets and hackings, but I am more concerned with social scammers on this young poker site.  There is a close culture on Seals, there is always trash talking during the games, some fun spirited, some not, but either way most of the regular players communicate constantly with each other.  I want to take this time and out a scammer who has been working the chat hard under many different usernames:

As "IronKing" on Seals and "IronKing27" on skype he tried to scam a handful of Seals Users, myself included.  It turns out he seems to be very stupid and left clumsy clues everywhere.  Without getting into details some members of the community and I have been privately putting together pieces.  I believe there isn't much loss here, and this has been said long before I even found bitcoin, but it is worth repeating:

PLEASE DO NOT ACCEPT "CLEAR PAYPAL" FOR BITCOIN UNLESS YOU ACCEPT THE RISK THAT THE OTHER GUY CAN JUST CLICK "DISPUTE" AND THE XFER WILL REVERSE.  

Of course paypal / eBay is an evil organization charging extremely high fees.  Of course Bitcoin will kill Paypal or at least compete with it in a few years.  Hopefully kill.  But for now, it is a needed evil.  100M+ Paypal accounts and an easy way to Americans to pay each other.  Just have to be so extremely careful these days.  Also I would advise all Seals players or anyone that needs to buy bitcoin living in the USA to use BitInstant if they do not have a trusted source to buy from.  Would love to have a trusted mining pool that wants paypal for coins...

It doesn't matter where you are, don't send bitcoins to strangers unless you are feeling generous.

Actually, last night I was in the freeroll... and on one hand, I knocked out 3 people in a single hand... and on another hand, 2 people... which sparked the thought, that it is a shame that there aren't any tournaments with a knockout bounty...

So, perhaps that could go on the to-do list, and bring back The Drifter as a knockout bounty tournament?

Bounties would be great. It's on the to-do list.

There is a new 'drifting' tournament now. Every 50 hours is a 500 chip (0.5BTC) freeroll for anyone with 500+ krill. The next one is at 5pm ET Saturday. You need to register for this (and all future krill based freerolls) by clicking the link on your My Account page.

Fun fact, 425 active (logged in last month) players have 500+ krill.

There was a problem. I am investigating, it appears to be working now. The 3am buy-ins have been returned. Sorry about that.

Every Sunday:  The biggest poker tournament in Bitcoin pops off at 6pm ET server time

ONLY

on SealsWithClubs

2 BTC buy in, 60 bitcoins guaranteed, 37 players last week with first place over 25 coins!  I have a feeling this week is going to re-break the record

One of these weeks I'm not going to lose 50 coins straight and stake a few ppl into this as I have in the past...

General reminder, don't click dodgy links.

Someone has been spamming a dangerous link in our chat. It should be ineffective now and the one player hurt by it was able to recover his chips. But still don't visit unknown links given by strangers (at Seals or elsewhere).
