Why doesn't one of our progressive poker site thinkers setup straight bitcoin wagering games? Bitcoin in/bitcoin out.
Yeah they got that on seals it just hasn't caught on yet. It's only a matter of time tho before people get fed up and start playing bitcoin only.
But my predictions are terrible. I predicted that if people could find a place to play that basically had no rake and good software and a million game variants, they would flock to it in droves.
As I look at the lobby at swcpoker right now, I couldn't be more wrong.
I feel that the biggest current problem with btc poker is that it bitcoin is not simple enough. Almost like how when b4 windows came out using a computer wasn't so easy as a bunch of double clicking.

so even if u go to bitpay's exchange rates page to get their exact current exchange rate, then do the math, it won't be correct.
so, two questions:
1. is there a way that anyone has figured out to send bitpay the exact amount in your wallet address, so as to not leave change behind?
2. i now have a bunch of addresses in my blockchain.info wallet with random small amounts (a few dollars or less). is there a way to consolidate all this without doing multiple single transactions sending the money in each address to a new consolidated address?
1/ I don't use bitpay but I have been on some of the non-clearnet markets that only accept bitcoin and seem to do a similar thing whenever I withdraw back to my seals wallet.
My solution is to either not give an f about the 4 bucks or so left in your acct or if you really need it you have to do the math perfect. Find out how they obtain the exact value of btc and whether they change it with preev.com and every 5 minutes, 15 minutes, etc. Then you have to make sure you are doing a transaction so that bitcoin value will not change in that time frame. Then you have to subtract the 0.0005 typical fee (which used to be pennies, now is almost a couple bucks). And if you are cashing out or buying something etc subtract that too. You have to do the math perfect tho which sucks.
