Sorry offtopic but need to know:
Who is going to play some WCOOP events on pokerstars?
ontopic: Looking forward to the update this weekend!! GO TEAM
Screw you that you can play on PokerStars.
I'm still waiting for my Fulltilt money to come back from the DOJ. It's all going into XC of course.
"When we're ready"
Howard Lederer
When PS took over FT the money was in my account
Why I asked was as follows: If someone with a proven (OPR with above avarage ROI) track record wants to take a shot. I'm more then willing to back and donate the winnings to the PR/DeFUD/Foundation/Etc to further our cause. So pokerpro's please respond.
We could also ask Phill Ivey, known BTC fanboy, if he is up for some sponsoring. Consequently bringing in some of his millions. BTW the first crypto to land on one of the mayor pokersite's will get a nice lead but will probably not happen due to legislation. Pokercommunity is ripe for coinage. PokerCoin launching in 3..... 2...... 1.....
Hmm....
Hahaha, ATCsecure is a poker junkie? I new I loved this coin. Are you on 2+2?
Seals with Clubs is probably the biggest BTC poker site and Bryan Micon hates alts. Some of the other sites are starting to look into it as an option, but not sure. The great thing about Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan and other poker players sponsoring XC is they are action (gambling) junkies. Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan would probably buy a few hundred thousand of XC just for shits and giggles.
Yes huge poker fan.. Although I haven't played online in ages
It would be very cool to get XC in front of these guys
Playing online poker for untraceable money? I'm in...
Lets raise money and develop a huge online poker platform dedicated for XC.
It would be difficult to attract enought traffic. But a poker site with XC deposit/withdraw and low rake structure would be the nuts.
The rake is killing the game slowly ,average skill level increase every year and average winrate decrease but rake doesn't moove and stay completely out of line to the point where in pot limit omaha very few players can win long term at low/middle stake (<1$/2$). Not a lot of players arrive to moove up in stake as result high stake action are dry. For exemple a random regular at mid stake pay 100k$ rake per year , for the service he get it's completely crazy.
Professionals poker players have huge bankroll who sleep in site as neteller or moneybookers, only minimum amount of bankroll stay on poker site since black friday. They can't invest their bankroll because as soon as they experiment some variance they could need to reload their poker cashier pretty quick.
Some poker site as Partypoker charge 3% non capped for every withdraw to neteller.
If a professionnal poker player would have the opportunity to cash out their money on XC, and redeposit for free (low fees <1%) directly on poker site, it would be a great improvement, because they could invest their "sleeping money" (and stake 3%/ year) with their bankroll, they could still redeposit on poker site very quickly, they would not be charged 3% as partypoker do. They could moove their money anonymously (not too bad for taxes), pay directly with XC (nfc payement),withdraw cash (XC atm). Finally pokers players would not need bank account anymore.
i have read neteller is against bitcoin so i don't expect a third party to allow transfert (and low fees) from xc -> 3nd party ->poker site soon.
Actually a poker player who want to invest a part of his bankroll in XC have for exemple to withdraw from neteller to bank account, then bank account to bitstamp, bitstamp to mintpal, finally they can buy xc after 1 week of transfert + fees.
Big poker site company can't accept directly XC or bitcoin deposit because they want to act aswell on regulated market (usa, france, italie, spain), and they don't want to be accuse of money laundering.
Dan could create a XC to fiat decentralized exchange where transfert from XC wallet to poker site in $ could be execute (as neteller) with low fees and instantaneously. Then XC team would have to convince big poker site to accept fiat deposit/widthdraw coming from XC decentralized exchange(would be the hardest part i guess).
I am a professional cash game poker player online for last 8 years and i would invest a lot more money on XC if i could instantaneously deposit/withdraw money with xc on poker site.
