Ok. I'm monitoring both dialogues in this thread and the bitcoinforumtalk one. I'm going to make a suggestion. We can note:
Quote:
-Recently the chps stoped getting paid out in some players accounts when they win tourneys.
-Management decided to devalue the CHPS effectively ripping off the players AND the investors.
-players that made the money and final tabled didn't receive payouts based on coinpoker bugs
-The all in hole card percentages do not display correctly.
-There has been no proper comment on the owners and management, and although on the one hand I stick up for "free banking" principles in this regard, in light of everything else I think it at least deserves to be addressed.
-For all I could tell, and I could be mistaken (difficult to get a response), the free roll promotional tourneys had no payouts listed and I couldn't find the "players entered" beyond a certain finishing position listed (ie I couldn't determine the payouts or who was getting paid what).
Certainly there should be no devaluation of the CHPS, otherwise what is being offered?
Certainly players that spent the time testing the software and were promised CHPS if they won should be paid them.
Certainly your all in hole card %'s should be expected to be correct otherwise why would players believe your RNG was programmed to be secure?
And there is zero customer support or rapport with the players, which is by far the easiest aspect to deliver (and OBVIOUSLY the most important aspect).
My recommendation, given I have followed all of the emerging projects and have a great interest in the success of this new age of poker, is that this thread locked until a reasonable coinpoker rep addresses these issues in a reasonable communicative manner.
Each of the points I have listed are in themselves alarming. To put them all together especially the devaluation of the CHPS, is indefensible. I couldn't recommend this as an investment. I have no reason to believe they won't abandon the project and the investors and take the profits that were made (especially from the ethereum gains).
I'm recommending to any mod or admin from 2p2, with any credibility I might have, that there is a likelihood this site will damage your reputation. Obviously not in a huge way, but deciding if this is a good thing or a bad thing for this forum's business, they MUST show something better than this. I am COMPLETELY not comfortable with it.
It's is a crying shame because the software is very slick and appealing.
Also I nudged Isabelle mercier (nicely) on twitter for help on clarification, as she had answered me once before, and she ignored me, which makes me suspect she is second guessing staking her reputation on the project.
edit: also this is what I was talking about in regard to Josem's security role. He already told me has nothing to do with anything else. But this is a problem because the players can be cheated and ripped off and the way the division of duties is set all parties whether developers, Josem as head of "gaming/player" based security, and the owners can each wash their hands of it and claim "plausible deniability".
