Great, thanks for all your hardwork on bringing us up to date! Now just update the OP and Casinocoin will be as modern as it can.
February 13, 2014, 05:43:10 AM
I'm working to get the Mac OS X build hopefully online sometime this evening. As soon as that's up, I'll start contacting pool operators, exchanges, game operators, etc that are on the old CasinoCoin version to let them know a hard fork is coming and to update to version 1.1.0.0.
By the way, I previously mentioned that the hard fork will occur at block #230,000. However, I have changed that to block #227,000 instead due to the current low network hashrate (as of this post, we are currently at block #223,019). As of right now, my best guess is that we'll hit block #227,000 sometime next week. When that occurs, difficulty will be adjusted via Kimoto's Gravity Well, which will essentially adjust after every block!
If you have CasinoCoin previously installed, as a precaution, please backup your CasinoCoin wallet first! On first launch of the new version, block re-indexing will occur. You won't need to redownload the entire blockchain, but the re-indexing process took about 20-30 minutes on one of the DNS seed servers, so please be patient during this process.

Q&A and Troubleshooting Guide
Quote
Q: When will the hard fork kick in?
A: The hard fork is scheduled to occur at block #227,000. With the swing in network hashrate, it is difficult to accurately estimate the time and date of when this will happen, but we approximate that it could occur as soon as the middle of next week (Wednesday, February 19th).

Q: Why at block #227,000 and not sooner?
A: We wanted to give operators of exchanges, gaming platforms, pools and site admins advanced notice and enough time to schedule in the upgrade in order to avoid potential issues that could cause forks in the CasinoCoin block chain if the upgrade were not to be performed in time.

Q: Do I need to re-download the entire block chain after the upgrade?
A: No. On the initial launch of the upgraded CasinoCoin client, it will re-index your existing local block chain. This process could take ~30 minutes to complete. Closing out this process before completion could potentially corrupt the local block chain, forcing you to have to re-download the full block chain on restart. Please be patient during this process.

Q: Do I need to backup my CasinoCoin wallet prior to upgrading?
A: Although not necessary, it is highly recommended that you do as a safety precaution and general good practice. Most preferably, to a location outside of your existing CasinoCoin data directory.

I just sent a deposit into casinocoincity...blinked...and it showed up! Very nice.
Glad to hear its Blazing Fast! Exactly what we want 
On a side note I spent a few hours trying to clean up the old forums and locate actual player accounts but gave up and installed SMF instead!
forums.casinocoin.org is now back up and running with spam prevention. Looking for a few persons to help moderate it with me.
Cheers,
Matt

We are currently working on a simple roulette simulation where the ball spins around the numbers and shows the final outcome!
With the bets are you talking about the final payout or what numbers it picks exactly?
Will check now!

Will check now!
When you place a bet you see a coin appear on the roulette table and on top of the coin you see a number indicating the number of coins you've bet.
When you place that bet on a row of 3 or 6 numbers (at the top of the table), that number indicating the number of coins appears under the coin instead of on top of it.
I see exactly what you mean will get things cleared up!
Guys you can now play https://coincontroller.com/ with CasinoCoin as well!!

CSC might have a slight chance making it if you add texas holdem poker, omaha. cash table, zoom table, tournaments, freerolls and so on. Pretty much like pokerstars. Lot of promotions. Low rake.
Pokerstars takes like 10% off each hand. My own experiance is that I play for hours, win some, lose some and eventually maintain same balance but when I look at stats, then I see that I payed PS 30% of what I had. It means if 10 people stat off with 10 dollars each (sum 100 dollars at the table), then in for example 1 hour the sum will decrease to 90 dollars. Next hour the sum will decrease another 10%. So in the end all money goes to pokerstars. So you gotta be very good to make profit.
If you start poker in cscity with like 1% rake, you get lot of players. It means, that average player can also make profit. Roulette, slots and stuff like that is for idiots and they wont bother buying CSC, because they are to dumb for that. They dont care, whether they blow USD, BTC or CSC. And I dont see any point minging and then blowing all the coins in some retarded slots. Poker on the other hand is a way of life and some people make living with it, so every saved percent matters. Those people are smart and willing to learn the way of cryptocurrency in order to save.
But anyway, whole casino thing is highly regulated and I doubt that you can run this business without license or paying taxes for to long. So eventually you will have to tax your players also 10%.
Last but not least, you developing way to slow. All I read here are promises. I dont really care, because I dont have CSC coins, but it got my attention somehow because of the name. It's a good idea, but you guys move to slow. I used to mine CSC, but after crazy diff changes there is no point. And transcoder said like a month ago that this diff issue will be fixed in a week.

The casino looks great! Well done
At the roulette, when you place a bet on a row of 3 or 6 numbers, the number of coins is misplaced.
Also, for future expansion I recommend a bit of animation at the games, like a spinning roulette wheel and stuff.
Keep up the good work!

So as some of you are aware, all alt-coins have faced an issue with multipools and the effects of poolhopping. These multipools mine the current most profitable coin, and when the difficulty kicks in at a higher level, the multipools move onto the next profitable coin, leaving the one that they just mined stuck at a high difficulty. This affects miners dedicated to the coin because they now have to expend more time and resources to mine the same amount of coins. This issue has affected CasinoCoin since the start, and more recently, community members have pointed this out to me and requested an update to address this issue.
@kwest came to me with a suggestion regarding Kimoto's Gravity Well. After some research, I concluded that this will be the way forward for CasinoCoin to address the issue of poolhopping. This algorithm was first implemented by Dr Kimoto Chan with Megacoin, and since then, the success of this algorithm has attracted other alt-coins such as Franko, AnonCoin and others.
Essentially, this algorithm adjusts difficulty after each block. So when a multipool drops off, difficulty is automatically adjusted as soon as the next block is found. This smoothens out difficulty and doesn't leave it hanging for long. Franko's successful implementation of Kimoto's Gravity Well has attributed to the mining stability of the coin, as well as the recent spike in value.
Here is a great read on the topic:
The Newbie's Guide to Kimoto's Gravity Well
This update will be available in CasinoCoin 1.1.0.x. It is currently being tested at the moment and will be available to download shortly after.

That is some great news! Maybe an extra addition, ... not sure if its in the source code but updating the nodes so users get a connecting wallet without having to edit a conf file would be great! Oh and thx for adding the QR code support, really helpful for my mobile wallet app which i hope to release in beta soon after the fork!

Congrats on the launch of CasinCoinCity! Finally have a place to blow all my coin 
February 11, 2014, 06:23:43 PM
I too second rewriting the OP once the update comes out, there are new pool, and old pools to remove, as well as new information and such.
Agreed there are lots of things to add and ways we can make the ogpost more appealing and easy to read. There is quite a few sites that have CSC integrated, or even just info on them that we could link to etc. Once the fork comes im sure @transcoder will update it and make all the changes we need!

Dropping in for another update -- lots of progress since the last post!
The updated CasinoCoin client code has been written and has incorporated the latest Litecoin security features as well as QR code support. Most importantly, the issue with pool hopping that causes the CasinoCoin network to become stuck at high difficulty has been addressed in this upcoming update with the implementation of Kimoto's Gravity Well. Details about the Kimoto's Gravity Well algorithm in the post below.

wow, fantastic news! Just two posts above yours I mentioned gravity, maybe you should write it into the topic title too because it's an important feature nowadays
