What do you think are the biggest issues with SwC Poker right now?
[we know you want the mac / linux / android clients. I'm looking for game issues, general things you'd like to see, maybe something you are missing from Seals that you feel belongs on SwC]
Maybe one thing for me would be the ability to withdraw less than 0.02 BTC and instant withdrawals.
0.02 is not a suitable limit for microstake players. it feels like being told, either lose all your BTC on the site, or try and make 10x the amount you are depositing.
.02 is still a relatively small amount of value, and was implemented on Seals to prevent "transaction attacks" in that if we lowered the withdraw amount to a satoshi, one could make many small withdraws to make us incur transaction fees and make many bitcoin network transactions.
SwC will be a proper home for micro-stakes players. As you can tell, I've left on "no rake microstakes" as I believe it's proper to forgo the small income a site can rake on the absolute lowest limits & offer the players a no-fee, micro-buy-in test of new games.
the withdraw minimum may be lowered in the future, but right now we are too busy improving other areas of the site to look at it today.
Good points Micon, however, at a standard transaction fee of 0.00001 (1KSat) you might still lower your withdrawal quite a bit without having the transaction spam issue you were talking about. Perhaps 0.01 would be a relatively nice compromise. As a small/micro stakes player myself I've definitely run into the issue of winning 15 or so chips and thinking oh, I'll withdrawal --- nope! I never really minded just leaving the chips on there as a bankroll but I think the guy has a point about the fact that you can deposit 1 chip but can't withdrawal until you hit 20. That does seem lopsided.
As for what's missing on the site---what used to be there that isn't anymore---it's me!
