Topic: [ANN][ICO] CoinPoker: Poker future is today! - page 56. (Read 31159 times)

That's why I say "potentially" a scam, I didn't say it's a scam right away. But if anyone reads that thread, I think it's clear CoinPoker has way too many concerning problems going on at the moment, from their technologies, to their human resource choice, their way of handling private data/information, their stance against decentralization from their head of security, and so on. Also, the fact that they keep dodging questions after questions in that thread despite being asked repeatedly is also a red flag.

I think most people in the bitcointalk community only plays poker for fun. They don't know the in and out of the poker industry, what problems we have now, and how CoinPoker actually is going to solve those. They are a bit too optimistic. I just post the thread so that people can at least inform themselves properly before making investment decisions.

Personally, my impression about CoinPoker is:
- Very nice client implementation, I was surprised to see a project that started just a while ago has such a good poker client (much better than many long standing clients). Until I know it's just a re-skin of existing software.
- They are correct when they say with Ethereum network it's impossible to fully decentralize poker cause the transaction time takes way too long. But maybe they should investigate other platform then? Like Iota?
- But if it's that way, then the only thing CoinPoker has better than current poker softwares is the fact that their RNG is decentralized. But RNG was never a problem with major poker clients anyway. We can actually verify RNG better by analyzing statistical data from hand histories.
- And CoinPoker has a lot of major short comings compared to other poker softwares, for example the fact that we can't export hand histories to analyze with 3rd party softwares - a crucial way to prevent cheating, detecting collusion and other foul plays.

All in all, I would say that with the way it's heading, CoinPoker has even more security issues than PokerStars or other major poker clients.

just another poker project. did you see any casino/poker projects that have got a notable success?

I am one of the players in that thread, and consider myself quite knowledgeable on the subject of these emerging projects.  It's not right to say "potentially a scam".  Players have always been careful in protecting their community, it is bad everyone is scams run rampant.  It's bad for the game and scares away potential players.

So we are scrutinizing the project, but its not that it seems like a scam, it just must pass the player's scrutiny and this will take time to discover.

But it is a good idea for anyone to check that thread out, it has a different tone because there are many professional and full time players kicking around 2p2.

Cheers


(the above post about renting a bot IS certainly a scam though and I reporting it

I suggest anyone who wants to invest into this "crypto coin" to read this thread:
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28/internet-poker/ann-ico-coinpoker-poker-future-today-1694786/
(twoplustwo is by far the biggest poker forum in the world for those who don't know)

A lot of interesting discussion going on there. Very smart people who understand very well the poker industry scrutinize coinpoker and expose it as potentially a scam.

Play freeroll there if you want, but stay way from it if you want to "invest".

Playing tournaments on this site is fun but it could also turn into a waste of time because of the glitch that causes tournaments to get stuck. I've had 3 freerolls cancelled and i was in the money in all of them (one of them was final table). After the closing of some bitcoin poker sites coinpoker is one of the few options left for the players. I hope the issues with the bugs are resolved very soon.

We will be giving away a brand new Tesla S! You can turn virtual cryptocurrency into a very real car! Learn more: https://coinpoker.com/wintesla

We will be releasing a series of blogs in which all of this will be explained. At the moment this is briefly covered in the Whitepaper on the site.

Man, their marketing is just top notch. Now they are offering a car as a tournament prize.

I like the branding, I like the promotions, I like the pacing of the updates, I like the software... I feel I have made a good decision to back you up guys... These guys are all in with the product.

How do the market leaders (like pokerstars) solving this?

how are you plan to solve the bots problem, i have read the news that AI already beat the best HU players of NL?

We currently have these tournaments available to enter to win ETH: https://medium.com/@CoinPoker/count-down-to-2018-by-winning-ethereum-d4201ec6cce5

Great! thanks for the answer and waiting for the official announcement.

We do currently have deals with some exchanges which are in the final stage of negotiation.

Do you already have any agreements with exchanges? Exchanges are skipping gambling projects. Please dont answer "we will update on this later", "confidential" or smth like that, as this only will mean - NO. Have any exchange give you their preliminary "Yes"?

Thank you, we are glad that you like the platform. We are working on a bounty program right now and we will introduce this shortly.

Oh, yeah! Thanks the universe that it sended your product to me. I just thought week ago that it will be great if someone will make a poker room on the blockchain and here we go! I already won 101 CHP in freeroll tournaments at your platform and I am very pleased with how it works. Hope in the future your project will make different international poker tournaments as online as offline. This project is what needs all poker players around the world, cause I am very dissatisfied and distrustful to such poker rooms like pokerstars and etc..

Also it will be great if you make some bounty programm in twitter / facebook.

This is not true, we are an independent platform and we are not using Microgaming as a platform.
The CHP will be available in exchanges as the ICO progresses and the value will fluctuate, as any currency does, after the ICO. We strongly believe that CoinPoker will be very popular and that CHP value will increase. The buy-in and blinds for poker tables and tournaments will be set based on the value of the CHP, therefore making this constantly accessible for everyone.

Hi! Thanks for your question. The CHP is a new currency and so this will remain in your wallet. You will be able to use this to play poker after the ICO and you can keep or sell any that you wish in the same way that you would with any cryptocurrency. At the moment we are selling the CHP in stages of pre-ICO and these are available to be won in free-roll poker tournaments on the site right now. As with any cryptocurrency, CHP value will increase or decrease with the change in popularity and demand, though currently you will just need to hold on to any you have bought until after ICO. 

From today you can start filling your pockets with ETH! Look out for buy-in tournaments in our app with 2 or 5 (!) ETH prizepools, play and count down to 2018 by winning ETHEREUM!

is this true , are you using microgameing platform?
And one other thing is not clear are the chp which are used for playing will be listed on exchanges? That means that CHP value will change in time and it is hard to tell fi it is good for poker room.
