PokerTableRatings.com Acquires Idleminer
Submitted by Support on Tue, 2010-10-12 18:47.
It's been a great ride! We started IdleMiner to help poker players boost their Poker Tracker databases. But now, years later, we've decided to
sell the IdleMiner domain to PokerTableRatings.com.
There are two main reasons why we decided to sell:
1. It took a lot of time to make sure the Idleminer products worked when a poker room released a software update.
2. Poker tracking programs like Hold'em Manager and Poker Tracker started to release their own built in software to help users mine played hands, and more and more poker rooms began writing their hands to HD making it easier to import without the need of a hand grabber. Idleminer products were fast becoming obsolete.
We approached some potential buyers and PokerTableRatings.com gave us a fair offer. They agreed to leave our products on the site and forward us customer inquiries.
We'll continue to do some basic maintenance for the foreseeable future, until we feel we have done right by our loyal customers.
