Targeting Sunday-Monday for short downtime to push the latest software upgrade. This upgrade fixes some of the issues that players have helped us identify. Estimate 1 hour of downtime.

Is there no work on adding other coins to the website ? Not even a consideration at this point ? I really really want ethereum to be involved, it would have made everything so much easier for me, it takes so much fees to send small amounts and I am not really someone who deposits like 200 dollars and just plays with 10 dollars for the day, hence having the option to send 5-10 dollars daily (which requires a lot of fee on bitcoin) on ethereum would be so nice.
The amounts here and chips so small and we can bet on tables that has less than 1 cent bids (I don't know if I calculated right, sorry if I am wrong) where as we need to pay like maybe 5 dollars on just the fee (wow my wallet is really ripping me off with these withdrawal fees) and eth would save us a lot of headache.

It has been discussed internally but we are still building Bitcoin poker for a long time before we can consider it. Monero, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and others have been discussed, but we will stay focused on Bitcoin only for now. Lightning network wallet functionality will give some insurance against future network fee increases, and lucky the fee is low right now. We see about 10 satoshis per byte being paid currently for fast block confirmations, so it's not a problem today. If we make other coins available they will be separate tables for separate currencies. We see the market has players that like other currencies but with Bitcoin as the base exchanger for all of them we don't see it as an issue if a player likes another currency, those players can change the Bitcoin to what they want after they withdrawal.

That can accommodate players who wanted to use other currency, they can convert it to bitcoin and start to playing, are you also willing to use third party system/wallets for this or what you mean is players can convert their coins into bitcoin before sending it to your wallet, hope to get some enlightenment here maybe I'm missing your point. Starting to learn poker and hope to play also inside your table someday, good luck.

^ Uh... Worry about that later. In the mean time, why don't you help get some traffic at SWC to avoid that which you fear could happen. That would be more productive. Nothing comes for free in this world, except advises and suggestions . Yet, if they want I could manage a highly effective and result oriented signature campaign for them for free of cost (still they need to pay for the participants but not for me). This is what being a hard core gambler, I may do for generating traffic for a gambling house which I love personally due to feeling like one of the best house in crypto world. If you have any particular suggestion for helping them out, please guide me on to that. I am open to choose a feasible one still remember I have life out of gambling and this forum posting, still I may dedicate few hours daily/weekly. suggestion: play poker. sit at tables and start drumming up traffic. you will get paid based on your skill level vs the opposition.

I love the free entries and this is so much more of an exciting way to market seals compared to the exclusive freerolls of the past. also, congrats on having the first truly fair jackpot tables. can we maybe see someone other than slim_charles win a jackpot though??!! I was thinking we need some promos for all of the bigO players that are frequenting your site on a nightly basis. This game plays a lot bigger than NL and is often your highest stakes game running. It is also the preferred game of crypto players so let's get some promos! Why should these NL dinosaurs have all the fun?!

At the start there was only Bitcoin to discuss, so it wasn't an issue. Still today Bitcoin is the strongest cryptocurrency and many exchangers exist to transfer to another coin if you wish. seals --> great work on the tourney and glad to see it kick off in feb again! I love the free entries and this is so much more of an exciting way to market seals compared to the exclusive freerolls of the past.

We see the bigO games running frequently and we want to encourage it. NL still is the most popular poker, so we will encourage that also. There is internal discussion to make a leaderboard system that will be divided by game and pay a prize to weekly, monthly, and yearly winners. The system is still in discussion stages.

just spit-balling here with the jackpot thing..
one thing you could do is have a predetermined amount such as 5% to be awarded to all players actively playing/being dealt into raked games 3-handed or more according to time stamp.
People will not be able to "game" this system and the reward will be nominal for regular players but awesome for new players.
For example, let's say jackpot is 1M:
35% to loser 20% to winner 15% to remaining at table 5% to remaining at site 25% to reseed and house commission
If there are 50 players not at the JP table they would each get 1k winnings.

Thank you for the ideas. Over time we intend to upgrade the bad beat jackpot in different ways. Currently we will build in the areas of security, wallet function including lightning, improving OFC function for cash and bringing it back for tournament, new promotions like cash game leaderboards, and continue the process of fixing ui bugs in the clients. We must continue on the path of fixing main components of the game before we can get creative with changing around bad beat jackpot, but we will do it in the future.

Poker sites aren't supposed to talk about the rake, but SwC Poker isn't like other poker sites. Because we charge the lowest rake in the industry, we like to discuss it so players can look at other sites and compare our rake tables to verify our statements. To build on our player-friendly foundation, we have made a choice to keep records and publish all rake changes so players will know when we change it and if they wish can look back and see what we charged at different times. You can see we made small increases to the rake recently, but you can also see the value of Bitcoin has fallen since 3.0 launched. At current levels we are still about 75% lower in rake than the nearest competitor. That's part of what makes SwC Poker a different kind of poker site. We can charge low rake because we only use Bitcoin and we only offer poker. #LessRakeIsBetter To see our current rake tables: https://swcpoker.eu/house-rules#charge-rakeTo see our past rake tables: https://swcpoker.eu/old-rakeBecause the value of Bitcoin fluctuates, we make periodic adjustments. Those adjustments will always done in a transparent manner. Any time your log in to play SwC Poker, you will be playing with extremely low rake.

Need to do a tournament series in April or May. Much smaller sites have done them in the past with surprisingly big prize pools, and the turnout is always fantastic. Word of mouth is always very strong for those.

We plan to do a tournament series in the future. We have more to build and must fix smaller issues before we will run it.

Those adjustments will always done in a transparent manner. Any time your log in to play SwC Poker, you will be playing with extremely low rake. You might wanna check out the old rake part. I am going to be honest with you I didn't looked at it before and I didn't feel the need because I know the rake is low and also I am winning from others, its poker so its not like a house edge on a dice game and that is why it was irrelevant and if I am winning then there is no point on dwelling small amount to pay you guys give us this chance and If I lose then whats the point since it wouldn't matter to me. However, on the old rake parts it shows 2.5% on 200-400 type deal and on new one it looks 200-400 is still 2.5% rake. I do not see any change on the old one listed at November 12 to January 31 and the new one, it is same. Maybe I am not looking at the right thing but to me it looks same. 200-400 TO 1000-2000 and also the 2000-4000 and up all look exactly same as it was before on that page.

What tournaments do you want to see on SwC Poker?
Use this format:
Time (UTC): 00:00 Game Type: holdem, plo, mixed, other Speed: normal, turbo, hyper Buy-in: 1k, 2k, 5k, 10k, 25k
Time (UTC): 06:00 PM Game Type: holdem Speed: turbo Buy-in: 1k I suppose you mean chips, 100 satoshis each, in the "Buy-in", but I would prefer if it were 1k satoshis(10 chips). Look how many players participate in your free-rolls where the prize pool is just 10 chips. I think tournaments with small, from $0.035 to $0.5, buy-ins can be very popular. I understand that you can't sustain the site running only such tournaments, but maybe you can still run them for variety.

Great work on adding slut-it twice for bigO!
This would take a live dealer hours for one hand lol..
Question: I have A35KK and board is K72
Me and villain all in on the flop. Can I hit quads twice?
Will 2 cards of remaining 39 dealt then 2 more of 37
OR
2 cards of 39 dealt then replace turn and river and again deal 2/39
Thanks

No you can't hit the remaining king twice. The remaining cards are dealt in sequence.

Quite agree with this as obviously it will drive more players when they specify which is which. Hence, survey hopefully works the way they wanted to be. Just visited the site and Idk if it's my connection but it's quite laggy and need more upgrade. Well, here's mine Time (UTC): 1:00 PM Game Type: mixed Speed: Turbo Buy in: 2k
