Really? It is still in my pending section and nothing in active.

edit: ah, it logged me out, but didn't tell me until I clicked reload. Longer sessions is probably fine until there is big money flying around. And clicking anything that one would want to be up-to-date ought also do the same check the reload does.

PS your move

Ok, I'll try a game or two as well.  

Waiting on funds to hit...

EDIT:  This is definitely a service that should take advantage of 0-conf transactions.

I made another game.

0-conf probably good for this, especially for now.

I won a game!

If anyone wants to try this but doesn't want to bet I'll front the .25 and you can just send me the winnings if by some miracle you beat me.

Or we can play for real.

I've got challenges up.

[SgtSpike]

I totally forgot about this while waiting for my funds to confirm...

*hint hint*

EDIT:  Ok, I'm confused now... I accepted two games, and now they're both "pending" in the active status.  How do we actually start playing?

In active games I have three and can click "continue" on any of them to go to the game board.

Yeah, I eventually got there.  No idea why they sat in "pending" or what it means.

This is because the bitcoins must be confirmed in an escrow account for each game.

Good luck in your games btw.

Why do they need to be confirmed in an escrow account?  If you already have the coins, don't you act as the escrow?

[drknow012]

Well, when making the site, it was just easier to create a new wallet and transfer funds from the player's account to this new wallet and call it an escrow account. I could edit the code so it would keep track of the escrow strictly on the site, and there would be no pending required, and I still might.

I am goisbetter1. I put up a few free challenges and a 0.1BTC. If you think you've got an edge on me (and you probably do) please hustle me, I'll accept any reasonable wager.
