I don't suppose its really a bug, but the only problem I've found as far as menu navigation goes is that when you select a player in the lobby, it gets highlighted white, which makes it completely disappear.

Apart from that, everything is really smooth and looking spiffy. I leave some more feedback after I play in the freeroll later on today. Smiley

Can't replicate this. Is it possible to get a screenshot?

Thx in advance Smiley

The withdrawal amount is removed from the player account immediately. The wallet will reply some time later (couple of seconds usually) as to whether the transaction has been created. If an error is reported, the amount is re-credited back to the account. Repeated requests for withdrawal are routed sequentially through the server so you wont be able to empty your balance multiple times.

Just making sure you weren't about to lose your hot wallet, lol.

The withdrawal failed because the wrong multiplier was being used to convert 'b' to BTC. This was a consequence of a last minute decision to change the b value from 1/1000 BTC to 1/10000 BTC. The smaller subdivision allows a lowest denomination of approx 1c. Given the rise in the value of BTC recently, it seems 1/1000 is not adequate for providing microstakes tables. So when you tried to withdraw the 0.01 BTC it mistook it as 0.1 BTC. Now fixed.

The cashier will now not remove the withdrawal amount from the player balance until a valid transaction code has been received from the wallet.

Can you confirm how much the cashier is out of sync? 100b?

The cashier withdraw dialog now displays the available balance as BTC. Also, there is a Withdraw All button to make it easier to withdraw your entire balance.

The cashier deposit dialog will now have a QR displayed. Would be useful if you could verify this also Smiley

So overall there has been a handful of teething troubles to do with Bitcoin in the cashier, hopefully that will be it. Thanks for your persistence.

There is a server upgrade overnight where these issues will be fixed. The client will also be updated (upgrades are automatic).

FYI, there's another 0.1 BTC freeroll 2moro Smiley

What if someone tries to withdraw their balance multiple times while it is still in their account?

I withdrew the first .01 BTC that I deposited yesterday about six hours ago.  It was taken from the cashier but still hasn't been sent yet.

The only suggestion I'd have is that the withdrawal window shows the balance available to withdraw in "b" chips, and then asks you to input the amount to withdraw in BTC.  It would be simpler if you could display the available balance in BTC or allowed someone to input the withdrawal amount in "b" chips, but I know that may not be possible.  If not then maybe even show on the withdrawal screen that 1 BTC = 10,000b.  Again, not a big deal but just a suggestion.

I did try another deposit of .01 BTC and it worked perfectly.  The 100b showed up in the cashier after the first confirmation.

The issue has been fixed. It was caused by a new a/c having a BTC balance field being initialised to NULL and not 0. In SQL you can't add to a NULL.

Deposits have been configured to show up after 1 confirmation, I think that's the norm.

Feel free to withdraw that amount to check the process works ok.

Thx!

Could someone check the process of depositing and withdrawals of bitcoin just to see if it makes sense? I think there is a 0.001 BTC min as set by the wallet software.

I tried depositing .01 BTC to test it out.

The set up you have seems right.  The cashier page is clean and the process is simple.  A QR code would be a nice addition but isn't necessary. 

It's been a couple hours and 9 confirmations so far though and it hasn't shown up in the cashier yet.

@Dabs
Not sure what you are asking for here? If you say the only way to verify randomness of the decks is to analyse hands, then you need access to a hand tracking database of some sort?

@WearsMyLiberty
Glad you like the client Smiley Yes, all the usual options are there that players come to expect from a poker client. Chinese and Chinese Open Face games are available but the tables haven't been created for them. I was looking to see what kind of demand there is for these games first. Breaks are 5 mins to the hour and run it twice for flop games is in but might not be enabled for the current tables.

All ring games are 1% rake capped at 1 SB or BB depending on the number of players in the hand.

Wow, very nice.

I was expecting another one of the simple and plain sites.  I was wrong.

I haven't played any hands yet but just from signing up, clicking through options and opening tables and tournament lobbies I'm very impressed. 

From what I can tell the client seems to run really quickly and smoothly.  And it looks like you have all the features players want - resizable tables, tile/cascade/stack tables button, preferred seating, sit out next BB button, sit out/in all tables, draw and chinese poker, and customizable table background/card colors.  And possibly even a "run it twice" option and synchronized breaks?

I can't speak to everything else yet but it looks great and professional.  It appears to be the best client of all the current Bitcoin poker sites.

I look forward to testing out the gameplay.

@TheVault,

Hi,

Not really a bug, but is this "Provably Fair" ?

I read the security part and I understand the decks are completely randomly shuffled. The minute you accept bitcoins, there are really smart people who don't care about third party credentials or accreditation by gambling commissions or licenses or whatever certifications are out there. They just want to see that the decks were indeed shuffled fairly.

Barring revealing all the cards, they are left with statistical analysis. I understand poker is a game where you might want to muck your cards or just fold.

But if you could prove (without much reason to doubt), during and after the game, that the game was fair, or had a mathematical certainty that it was as fair as it can get, is that something on the top of your list?

As far as I know, no poker site (bitcoin or fiat) can claim this.

And don't get me wrong, I will probably still play on your site, or at least test it. I'm not even a good poker player.

Thx for the info.

Mods, could you enable me to post in other forums please ?

Thx

You can try to pm tysat for that matter.
But it might be easier and/or faster to just wait a couple of hours and unlock it by urself.
