Unfortunately, it didn't help enough and I lost my 1.5 BTC. :-( My biggest ponzi loss. I threw all the BTC I've mined in the last two months into it. Dammit. I really expected that round to go well. Bad timing with Labor Day and all, I guess.
Also, to answer the Poker thing...we already have a couple Poker sites for BTC, and they're mostly ghost towns except for the pre-arranged tournaments. I don't want the BTC poker scene to become more fragmented than it already is.
We're not going to fracture anything. It's more of an integration of servers that we're working on right now. It's also going to be separate from Bitcoinduit. We're going to help to grow the poker sphere. Just you wait.
