Hmm, I just tested another deposit using the QR code with the Blockchain.info app on my phone and it worked perfectly.  That might not help you find the problem but at least I can say it's not happening to everyone.

I also actually tested out the game play for the first time in the deep tournament earlier, and I have to say again that the software is awesome.  It ran so smoothly with no lag.  And it really does have every feature that players are used to from the big name sites.

I'm definitely looking forward to being able to play here.

my withdraw went thru with no problems:)

The game selection for cash is the best of any btc room atm imo

Wondering why the client needs to be closed everytime i use the deposit button (when i select btc).

***holy crap, i deposited .1 btc and it hit my acct in the time it took me to post this, very impressive:)

Why does the client need to be closed when you use the deposit button? What happens? Is it some kind of crash? Not aware of any issues there. Does the deposit QRCode work ok, are you using it?

Am working on an evening tournament schedule so hopefully that will increase traffic in the eve Smiley Also, the rewards system needs to be set up, table starters etc. The s/w seems solid enough now with the Bitcoin cashier so can focus on getting players.

please see this picture. I get this error everytime i click on btc as a deposit option

I suspect that's a problem with the code that generates the QR code. Not sure what the cause is, but the QR code can be disabled if it is not being generated correctly. Will put that into the next update. Presume you can see the deposit address before it crashes? Anyway, thx for the info.



yes i can still see deposit address so its not a big deal, just wanted to let u know:)

No it is a big deal, no-one wants to type in a deposit address. That's what the Copy button is for so you can just paste it into your wallet. Not sure how many people use the QR code anyway if that's the problem. Will make it a priority to get it sorted.

Just found Grid Poker.

My initial reactions are very positive. super fast deposit, send .05 and recieved 500b in less than 20 minutes.

Played a bit of ring but only one other player on. Hope traffic goes up:)

Having played every btc poker room available i have to say yours is by far the best software imo.

Hope it catches on:)

*made a .0617 withdraw and didnt see it on blockchain but will update when i recieve



Hi,
Glad you like the site Smiley Logs indicate the 0.0617 went out (75 confirms at this stage) so you should have received it ok.

The Tournament Lobby dialog should look like this with alternate grey background for each player. When selected, the background should be a blue bar where white stands out as text. For some reason you are getting all white background. Will investigate...

Just logged in and got the update and it's fixed.

It was a 1-liner that just affected XP, hadn't tested it yet but you've confirmed its fixed so that's cool Smiley

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?

@WearsMyLiberty

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

I just downloaded the update and saw the changes.  Great work.

I withdrew the second .01 and this time everything went smoothly.  It was sent about 40 minutes after I requested the withdrawal, not bad at all.

So yeah, right now my account would be short the first 100b.  But it looks like you've fixed the issues and everything should be working fine now.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hi,
It's been in testing for over a year, and is in the process of being launched for real money. But having recently gotten involved with Bitcoin and seeing all the benefits (low transaction costs, fast withdrawals, etc) it seemed like a no-brainer to put it in as a currency option. It's been surprisingly easy to integrate. I'm not sure what you mean by referral link, but anyway, the site is www.gridpoker.eu. Try it out. I'd be happy to offer 0.01 BTC to anyone who can find bugs, but really it's been hammered by the testers at this stage so I wouldn't envisage many issues being found apart from subjective usability features. I'd be really interested to get feedback from players. Deposits and withdrawals are fully integrated with the cashier, no need to refer to the web.

Hi Guys,
My site now accepts Bitcoin for deposits, withdrawals and play. I'm a newbie, and relatively new to Bitcoin, here so this is the only forum I can post in. I won't spam the site name unless it's approved my the mods. Stakes go as low as 1/10000 BTC blinds (currently around 1c/2c). with SNGs and Tourneys also. It's a full featured client, not browser based. I'd like to get some players playing to try it out. Can do rake free for a period.
