So you paid like 1000 PO points for like 10000 bit coins, or how would it like to be?
I have no idea what BitCoins are but once I do some research on the whole thing, I'll get back to you. Looks like a digital currency in a pure form. Is there a quick FAQ resource that seems useful that you may know about?

BitCoins are a peer-to-peer currency, so since there is no bank or no underlying institution to guarantee them, the funds cannot be confiscated or frozen, ever. You can also set up an acct completely anonymously to avoid taxes, reporting transactions, etc. Great for anarchists and those that want to operate outside of what can be controlled. Remember though that with no underlying guarantor, they are only as valuable as the market dictates. Currently you can buy lots of stuff with Bitcoins, but the value could plummet quickly due to speculators or some unforseen anomoly. Be careful before you sell your house for bitcoins, but I am looking to dabble because they sound, well really cool!

BitCoin: The Future of Currency - CBS News Video
just so yas know, i do a lot with bitcoins (it's sort of like dealing with stocks) .. the coins fluctuate in value.. ie: 1 bit coin right now is worth like $16 USD i think.. they also have surveys and stuff on their website to get bitcoins... neat little concept and it seems like it is booming
There is buzz on these but I don't foresee myself using them in the near future. Currency conversion always seems to have an added tax involved.
the software is no diffrent than client..
I fear that, for you Zab, managing the value of the BitCoin may be difficult. Considering the value of BitCoins will fluctuate regularly, it may be difficult to tell how many points to charge for BitCoin. To be honest though, I would be interested in the idea. It would be neat to get started with BitCoins, and this would allow me to do it with a minimal risk.
If there's a demand for it... I can add them.. people dont seem to interested though
Never used bitcoins, but i have been looking them up to see what they are and how u purchase, where u cant use them and stuff like that. This would be a pretty good idea.
A poker client with nothing but bitcoins is what sealswithclubs.eu has right now. In fact they are using the same poker client as your client here. You should look into it now.
I realize this is an outdated post, but if stumbled upon again I urge you to look at the rise "Bitcoin" has made.
Bump
Yes I agree bit coins are nice.
Hell, I could make a poker site here with nothing but bit coins.
I'd have to understand the model first though, how you acquire bit coins and so on
nah everyone is jumping on the bandwagon.. i just get that bad feeling that its all going to go tits up, pardon my language
I dunno Zab, I like the points system here, but I don't understand the first thing a out bit cons so I am sure that is a big factor imo. I also don't have the urge to go playing on the sites with them.
I could open a 2nd client, a bit coins client.. I just think people would rather have the points \ money rather than Bit coins
oh that would be cool, then everyone is covered :)Quote:

if merge, revolution, or winning started using bit coin somehow i'd like it, but sealswithclubs the bit coin industry leader uses poker mavens client, I MAY BE CRAZY, but from playing in PO client, I DO think mavens software is highly "manipulated"
i trust zab, i mean him and the guys who own this site know what theyre doing, if they add it.. meh, if not i'll still love this place lol
I do not play in the clients and do not know much about bitcoins. But if it is another way to let more people play, I am for it.
not sure what they are either but what the heck, if it works do it
I would be interested if you can add them.Quote:

would be very nice. BTC would be the only way for people in the EU. I cannot cashout PP $ or the Amazoncode, they are not accepted in Germany. Its like a waste of time to get points without a chance to cashout those!
