I do not think people care, they will not buy a coin to pay them as they allready accept btc and credit cards.

OP you should update us here on the game. A few of us are curious, but naturally want to learn more about how the game works before trying it. FOMO3d ended and had the second round started a few days ago so I guess the lesson is that it does work so the model can somehow apply, just to see now if it can be sustainable. Popcoin model sounded good on paper too but if you can share statistics and all that, we can learn together.
Anybody won that first seeded round yet?

oh yes,I don't have Metamask installed,probably the reason to this
and of course,if Metamask is the prerequisit to play,you should make it clear
probably with huge red letters in the middle- INSTALL METAMASK if you want to play

Yep, definitely good advice. We've added some messaging now that should make it clear to all new players.

I wonder if the game is live and working?
this doesn't seem right-the pot is zero , no info about when it ends etc.
have you stopped it because of some bugs or am I missing something?
I like the idea,but the implementation seems to be lacking just a tiny bit

The game is live, do you have Metamask installed? Have mentioned this briefly at other points but probably didn't make it clear enough that right now you do need to have Metamask installed in order to interact with the game.
We've added some messaging and a download link to Metamask to hopefully make this more clear to other players.

Hmm, I had to wait to finish work and still got a few hours left at office after all. But it seems the game has not launched at all? I see 0 ETH, and it says if game ends now there is 0 ETH, so I guess something didn't work out. No seed or players that I can see. Shame, maybe the launch is delayed, should have done this on Friday evening or on the weekend I think 
We actually did have a launch last night with some play, by any chance do you not have Metamask installed with the browser you're trying to access the game with? Probably needed to make this point more often that Metamask is necessary to interact with the contract through the browser.
Ah, so that was the problem. Yes I did have Metamask installed it is on my Chrome, but I did not sign in. Usually it should automatically alert me if I go to a site that needs metamask, and then I will be asked to sign in but it seemed not to have worked at the time.
Anyway, another day of work for me let me see if I still have time to enter the first round. Probably too late for me by then though.

Am not the gambling type, you guys should put what you can afford to lose. The whole scheme will not take long before it park off once they gain users trust

Interesting idea. Would be nice to have a faucet or a tiny promotion to try it out first

Just wanted to remind everyone, PopCoin will be launching TODAY!
Another reminder that the first game will be seeded with 2 ETH to kick things off, try to get there early!

OK sounds good, like I said never tried this game before or anything like it always a bit curious since there's the gambler in me! Still not 100% sure of how it's played but I guess I don't mind risking a few dollars for the experience. If I'll put anything into it I'll be a few hours late though. It's around 10am my time I get lunch break maybe 3 hours after the game starts.
Will you be seeding anymore of this yourself or playing it yourself? The reason I stay way usually is that I don't dare fight the whales

We've included a way for us to reseed the game (basically add more fee money to the pot) in case the action ever gets too slow and things need to be kickstarted a bit. The thing is we've set the game up so that smaller players could potentially do very well against whales, it's all about just watching the game and getting in at the right moment.

Also just wanted to remind everyone, PopCoin will be launching in a little more then 24 hours!
The first game will be seeded with 2 ETH so make sure to get there early. Very excited for the launch and looking forward to a great game!

Thank you for that explanation again, I do think it is one of the more interesting concepts to be introduced lately, but I will say that the early people, like me, if I plan on joining, will definitely want to own the PopCoins and those that come later may not be as incentivized to join for the lack of rake shares/popcoins.
August 20 2 UTC for launch is about 18 hours from now, looks really exciting. How will we know it has launched? When that ETH pot shows positive? Will we be able to deposit from an exchange or casino or must we stick to MetaMask?

Thanks for your feedback, realizing made a small mistake in the time conversion, actually going to be launching at on 8/21 at 02:00 UTC, so little bit more time until the game begins.
For now the easiest way will be to use metamask through the game UI at http://www.popcoin.gg/game.html. PopCoin is a smart contract like any other though and we'll be publishing the contract source along with ABI so it will be technically possible interact with the game through other means. If someone wanted to put in the effort it should even build your own custom UI, but for most players using the game page at http://www.popcoin.gg/game.html should be easiest.
As far as knowing when the game launches the countdown timer on the game page just below the betting box should provide a good indicator and we'll of course also be making a post in the thread once it goes live. Also once the game is live the "Pot" field will be displayed as greater then 0 and there should be a graph similar to the one in the youtube videos featured in this thread in the center of the page. The large "Bet" button on the game page will also be active.
