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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 figured that much, i accepted your challenge as superduperman, good luck 
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

oh people can see your game, but the site doesn't have many active members as of yet. i still have to launch an advertisement campaign to get the ball rolling.
You want to test with me now? I want to play this crazy new 3-1 night chess.
sure, but you should expect the game to last a few days, unless we catch each other at the same time again.
No problem. I'll be here a while tonight anyway.
I am goisbetter1 btw

Awesome, I don't see this on the site though, it's def implemented? I must be missing it on the site.
I sent coin, how long does it take?
I sent coin, how long does it take?
it has to confirm, usually about 10 minutes or so. if you want an opponent to play you, you'll have to search for one yourself. I need to launch an ad capaign before people can find other players. i do have a friend who wants to buy some bitcoins from me and play though, so maybe tomarrow i can talk to him and he can play you.
ps: I also need people to check the site for sql injection vulnerabilities. I think i stopped them all, but i know people have been trying.
Oh, people can't see my game? Why not make the default to challenge everyone?
I like the idea of kicking back full commission to the person who puts out a challenge to everyone.

if you join up, you'll see the welcome message i added. basically is says that i changed the knight so it moves 3 and 1 instead of 2 and 1. i'm pretty sure it will piss alot of people off, but in the long run, it will prevent cheating in a big way. you can't just go out and download chessmaster 3000 and use it in a tournament. i this is the best possible solution. it's was simple to implement it, and it's easy for players to adapt.
