It's about as possible as working as a professional chess player or golf player and living off the profits -- possible, but not easy. But make no mistake: poker is a game of skill, easy to learn but difficult to master.

Hi, when I try to connect to www.satoshipoker.org over https, Firefox produces the following message:

This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect
securely to www.satoshipoker.org, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure

Perhaps you need a TLS certificate?

First impression of this site: very good overall, but the interface reminds me a bit of the control panel on the starship Enterprise --  lots of confusing buttons. It's not immediately clear what they all do, but now that my eyes have adjusted things are making a bit more sense.  Question: is there some way to manually set the client seed?

I noticed this also. Firefox takes up a larger-than-normal chunk of system resources when I'm playing blackjack:

Thanks. I finally ended up installing bitcoin-qt from source per the following blog post:
http://www.ripplex.biz/blog/compiling-bitcoin-on-centos-v6-4

Seems to be working fine for me. FYI.  I tried to open a support ticket at RedHat.com requesting that they add bitcoin-qt, but it looks like only paying customers are allowed to do that  

Hi,  The official CentOS repository doesn't appear to contain an RPM package for bitcoin-qt. Anyone know why? 
I found a couple third party RPMs, but I'm not quite sure I trust them. The alternative would be to install from source, but I'm trying to avoid that. Any suggestions?
