+ Even if Stars accepts BTC, they wouldn't accept US players which is really most of Seals' current traffic.

In a lot of other countries, people find it hard to get their money on Stars due to the grey area of gambling laws and banks not allowing direct deposits. They usually have to rely on buying stars dollars through friends or other poker players in their country. I think a lot of those people find it easier to purchase bitcoins(atleast for me) , than Pokerstars $'s , and that might increase the number of those there.

Definitely. I just meant that I don't expect Seals to lose traffic over it because the current players are mostly from US and will probably still play at Seals. Better yet, there might be more players at Seals if more poker players educate about bitcoin because of Stars accepting it

Better yet, there might be more players at Seals if more poker players educate about bitcoin because of Stars accepting it Well depends. Would not be a big hit, but seals might take a hit. I for one prefer playing the tournaments up at stars than on Seals. People who do as well, might head to Stars for the tournies. Even for playing HU, there aren't a lot of different people you can find on Seals, as most of the times its just the regs and some of the good players there. People who play those tables, would prefer the games over at stars. But yes, as the majority of the players are from the US, then Stars accepting bitcoins won't really affect much.

This link hasn't worked for me on any sites (reddit etc.) but I think that makes its "arising" so much more "lol". Crypto sites will surely both destroy the status quo and help dissolve global regulation. I'll leave this here, to read while we wait https://thewealthofchips.wordpress.com/(Hopefully its not spammy, can get this post deleted if SWC wants. FWIW, huge SWC supporter.)

@samya if grid was still opened could give you the link but alas grid closed thats why the speculation if it is the software that seals bought. Try nitrogen eu they have some freerolls as well as mtts and ring not heavily trafficked though. Nitrogen poker has by far the worst software I have ever played on though they are trying.
Guess you never played poker on Bitcasino.io then

Grid software sucked. There were many bugs that caused it to freeze. They would fix one and another bug would be revealed. There weren't many games but once I played at the same time a FR, a tourney, and 2 ring games resulting in lag. Because they had a minimum cashout requirement that they would not wave when the were soon to close, actually they ignored the question, I am owed a small amount, about 30 cents. Obviously not a big or any deal for me but I guess the few dollars meant something to them

Obviously not a big or any deal for me but I guess the few dollars meant something to them I checked it out the other day and all the games were paused. It took seals a long time to get the lag that plauges mavens software in control never fully getting rid of it. Defo hope they fix that type of issue before rolling out. Nothing worse then lagging or stalled games timing out etc. I never did play on bitcasino I shudder to think of software worse then nitrogen poker. Pokerstars players being able to play on seals wouldn't be that great the row has caught up poker wise and a lot of the people who play on stars are superiorly skilled grinding nits. One feature I would like to see on the new software is a click on link that takes you to the standings of an mtt rather then having to go all the way out into the lobby. Damn they updated twitter with no time of arrival

Seals should def take their time trotting out new software and do massive beta testing. I have played on a ton of sites that upgraded and were obviously not ready to go live. I am not really a huge fan of all the side games but other people seem to be. Never really got into baduci badugi triple draw lowball though have played them all. I checked out open faced chinese looks like I will be sticking to plo and holdem.
Yeah, I agree with all of that. As much as I wish they could switch to the new client right now, it's better to keep testing to be sure everything is right. It's definitely getting closer though. For a long time people weren't sure if there really was anything coming "1Q 2015"... or ever. So at least I can say now that it is real and is being worked on every day. Also don't really play the mixed games myself, but I've changed my mind and am glad they're in there. The old software was serviceable and I would describe it is "meh, it's alright... it's not the worst I've ever played on." The new software will be the best out there. It has everything. It has games and features that even Bovada and WPN players wish they had.

The tweet did say no ETA. So maybe its a big problem, or we might just see the new software when its back up.
