Winpoker accepts bitcoins and it is on the Ipoker network. This may be a dumb question, but as an American with Bitcoins, i would be permitted to play on that site, correct? Or do they look for IP's and what not when determining whether or not someone is eligible to play.
I don't know about Winpoker, but I've been playing with bitcoins on Seals With Clubs. The traffic is really light, and the software sucks, but that's because it's all new. It's been improving recently.
i'm just mad i didn't bet the house on bitcoin back when i found out about they and they were $5 per btc (currently $136). i bought $500 worth but spent them.
Your currency and/or deposit method probably doesn't change anything.
Seals with Clubs software provider is Briggsoft, the same company that programmed Poker MavensQuote:

New coins will be mined until about 2140. It gets harder because there is more horsepower out there mining that you are competing with.Quote:

Hopefully a few people with resources see the need for stable services and we get a few other reliable options for buying/selling bitcoins.Quote:

Why are they useful? Like, really useful?
1 is not a strike. Because not all people are. And not most people are.Quote:

You don't know that. And even if it were true, it only means bitcoin will take longer to sort out. But it's got all the time in the world.
2 is not a strike. The dollars in my pocket are only valuable because people will take them for something. If you think that the full faith of the US govt backing these notes makes them more valuable, it does because now you're more willing to trade for my dollars. But that's a problem of perception which the bitcoin can win in time.
3 is not a strike. Unstable today. Bitcoin is supposed to be in it for the long run.
4 is a strike.
5 is a strike.
I own no bitcoins, I won't own any in the foreseeable, but it's not a doomed endeavour.
Don't worry about it. The people who know how to value the bitcoin for what it offers over other currencies are still trying to figure out how to value the bitcoin for what it offers over other currencies.Quote:

https://mtgox.com/ Bitcoin at $113 now
i saw this http://money.cnn.com/2013/05/02/tech.../bitcoin-porn/ which has lots of interesting links in it.
basically you can put a message in the header of coins, and once that gets out in the blockchain it will be there forever. someone else has stored a few MB of wikileaks stuff in the blockchain, so for as long as people use bitcoins the data will be out there.
this is a potentially revolutionary type of thing imo. if we can store complete total information of the world in our money, it would make everyone have to keep all information we have in circulation. information would be directly tied to spending value. the only way to counter this would be if the people would didn't want this information out would have to mine bitcoins at a higher rate and put bad information in them. but putting all knowledge into bitcoin headers would tie their value to information intrinsically. and money is just a form of information anyway right? but this would be more powerful because it would be complete information
for example, could we stuff all of wikipedia into the blockchain? once storage is even more powerful this doesn't seem hard. i think i read that once all bitcoins are mined the blockchain would take up about 120 TB, so if people were happy to carry that around in their USB wallet (or w/e) then we could have an even bigger blockchain.
i dont know too much about this but i was theorizing about it and needed to type it out before i forgot
Hi!
I'm new here and I'm very interested in bitcoin poker... I know this thread is old so I would like to get some recent impressions about the future in bitcoin poker.
Thanks
I'm just mad I didn't buy them at $136 at the time of this post.Quote:

Risks are perceived as high since Mtgox got fucked but we're not exactly a risk adverse bunch are we.
Diversification is key in any portfolio.
Especially a Gummi Candy portfolio.

At many tourist destinations, they'll have a machine that turns pennies into bigcoins. It's awesome.Quote:

So do you think the problem is only about stability of the price?Quote:

In this case...do you think it will have any future in poker? I bet YES, because of sites as Sealswithclubs...
be carreful with bitcoins
it is going to crash and you loose everthing
it is not going to be stable
its a scam
But what about advantages of playing poker with btc? I am not talking about get profitability by buying btc and then selling it...I am talking about playing poker with it and, even if you want, sell it when you finish you session (in this case you won't be expose to the fluctuations of the price).Quote:

You need real data to make multi-million dollar decisions.
