You can also trick it to think there's a monitor plugged in with some 1/2 watt resistors.

Alright, thanks for the update.  Good to know it's not fake hype to try to pump the price.  That would be a bad thing in the end for the coin.

That's microsoft paint, homie.  Show it in action.

I take back the part about the get/post not being encrypted.  It would be.  The SSL/TLS layer is between TCP and HTTP.  It was ignorant of me to say otherwise, but I'd had a few beers and was in a hurry.  I own that mistake. No big deal there as far as security goes, but I still disagree with not adding password protection to a page that allows someone to withdraw from a gambling site.  I don't think you should fire your programmer, but I really don't understand how it's going to cost that much more to add user accounts with passwords (even if email is not required for anonymity) - and I wonder why this wasn't budgeted initially for a gambling site.  There are so many ways of doing this with off the shelf/ opensource code.

At least require a payout address before playing and then run a cron to autopay any balance on sessions that haven't been active in x number of time.  With the whole URL/no-account thing, people are going to get a lot of coin stuck in your site.

I think your comment about not paying to have basic security measures integrated into your site because they will not give ROI is pretty ridiculous.  An online casino is nothing without trust, so anything you invest into gaining that trust should theoretically give ROI if everything else is done correctly.  If I am mistaken and you were saying you're not investing in it now because you don't have ROI right now - then you probably shouldn't even be getting into this.

Speaking of trust, let's see the goods. You said you've played the first game and it looks great - so play it for a minute and post a screencast so we can all see.  That will really drive the price up!  Here you go:

This model is not secure.

1.  Anyone with access to your bookmarks has access to withdraw your balance.
2.  Anyone with access to your web history has access to withdraw your balance.
3.  Most importantly, anyone with access to your traffic has access to withdraw your balance.  HTTPS doesn't encrypt the web request.  In fact, newb network admins at your ISP will have access to withdrawl your balance.

User account management is not hard to implement.  You could even use an existing framework:

http://bitcoinphp.com/

http://usercake.com/

To be honest, if my developer suggested this authentication model, I would immediately cancel the contract and find someone who knows what they're doing.

When you were going to launch your own coin, you said you had two developers, a marketing guy, and were in conversations with some casinos?  Where did they do?  Maybe they can help out with coding the user access module on your site.

Also, can you screen capture the game that you almost have ready so we can see it in action?  I know it's not fully ready for beta, but if you're able to see/play it, let's get some screen shots and screen video of you playing it.  It might raise the price some!

Will that unique page still be password protected?

If you're mining litecoin you might not see a profit, but you have to adapt.  mine other alts and sell at the end of the day for bitcoin/litecoin.  Ignore all the coinwarz type sites and find profitable coins yourself so you can mine before everyone jumps in.  Or better yet, mine dead coins with no difficulty, then wait for them to be revived.  It happens quite a bit and even if the revival is a failure, you can usually grab a huge gain on the hype.

I wouldn't worry about it, the volume is extremely low, so the price is going to fluctuate like crazy.  Today's drop was probably people in this thread dumping because of the casino delay.  I mean, when Casinocoin showed up and Transcoder came back, the price spiked 800% in a day

Good news is - price goes down, so does difficulty because it falls off the radar, so mine away and hope that the community rallies to provide enough support to turn this one into a contender.

After thinking this through, I was able to mock up specifically what I want created, so I sent detailed instructions to one of my guys.  I will post the results when I get the designs back in 2-3 days for anyone to use freely.  I'll also try to post the .psd's if anyone wants to modify them.

I think that instead of, or in addition to this type of graphic, the graphic that needs to be created is something along the lines of "Casinocoin Casino" or "Casinocoin Only" or "Bet Casinocoin!" or "Play With Casinocoin".  "Casinocoin Accepted Here" is good, but we should probably stick with the gambling theme to really stay on a laser focused mission.

I have a good team of designers, so I can pay to have one or more of these created within the next couple of days.  My designers give me several options, so I'll post some of the better ones here to see how people think we should move forward.  I'm thinking a logo type graphic, a banner, and a badge.

We probably also need a Casinocoin icon/ symbol - what is the official symbol for CSC?  Do we have one?

I'll spend my own money, but donations are welcome.  I'll add my wallet address to my sig this evening.

This post really got me thinking - is the way to differentiate Casinocoin to develop a quality lineup of mobile games that can only be played with CSC?  A lot of coins have multiple gaming sites built around them, but I have yet to see anything significant related to mobile gaming apps.  This could be a good direction to focus a lot of attention on.  But maybe there's a reason why it's not happening?  I'm assuming it would be difficult to get these types of apps listed in app stores.  You'd probably have to have the user download them directly - which is fine.  You'd just have to ensure to not collect ANY data from the user to ensure decent anonymity.

I really like the idea of mobile Casinocoin games!

I'm not sure why everyone keeps talking about new logos or branding.  I think the branding is excellent and there are not two logos.  There is one logo and an image of a CasinoCoin, just like Bitcoin has its logo and many variations of coin images that have been created:

https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS508US508&espv=210&es_sm=93&tbm=isch&q=bitcoin%20logo&revid=13535948&ei=7ZbLUtW9HYXYoATj2oLIAg&ved=0CBcQsyU&biw=1920&bih=954

I don't think this is confusing, or an issue in any sense.  I also think if the logo is changed, it's not going to be easy to make something that is universally accepted as "better".  I think the quality of the branding now is good enough to not waste time trying to change it at this point.

Other graphics, like "CasinoCoin Accepted Here" or whatever are putting the cart before the horse.  Development stability needs to come first.  On the dev side, what's needed is for a dev TEAM to be extremely active on this forum to build confidence.  If Transcoder is still doing the dev alone, it's not enough.  Unless he's able to pull all nighters to be extremely active in the community, while continuously showing that he's developing and improving the coin, confidence is going to fizzle out and it will die again.  Other developers need to be RECRUITED, or at the very least, a community manager who is in close touch with the dev team needs to be brought in.  This person must be able to answer any question about the dev at any time.  First question: is there any development of the coin going on right now, or are we just riding on the name of the coin?  The second resource that needs to come in, whether it's Transcoder's time, or him adding someone to help is: what are the future plans for the coin (not the eco-system around it).  Will there be active development?  Or at least support to ensure issues are solved promptly?  to ensure there are enough nodes to allow for everything to sync up?  Will new features be added?  Which ones? Custom?  Zerocoin?  What??

On the marketing side, no existing, successful online casino is going to just start accepting CasinoCoin without incentive - and any single person here that can come up with that incentive won't make enough profit to cover the costs, even if the casino's acceptance of the coin does drive up the price.  What needs to happen is that we, as a community, need to build up an eco-system around Casinocoin.  Dogecoin has a handful of betting type sites developed around it - and its purpose is not even for gambling.  Sexcoin has sex toy shops that accept sexcoin.  The community just need to build up CasinoCoin only casinos.

So really, in the end, the issue isn't - let's change the branding or get some new graphics, it's - let's build the community and continue to build the eco-system.  Once that happens, it will be much easier to attract outsiders to join in.  I mean, if it's already as strong as it is just based on the name of the coin alone, imagine how strong it could get if all the people passionate about the name and concept organize a little better.  

First things first, there needs to be a foundation/ steering committee that is democratic in nature - and it needs to be extremely well organized and professional.  Its purpose needs to be clearly defined.  Transcoder did start this thing, but he needs to give up some control to allow it to flourish, unless he's willing to give it 200% 24/7 and really show us that he's here for this coin.  If not, the community needs to find devs to take it over.  A relaunch would be pointless.  Make better code, release it, everyone updates, move on.

In the end, there needs to be one website, one forum, one official set of documentation and link for the most up to date release, and one vision - and a whole bunch of communication.  The name and concept are great, but we can't live on those alone.  We need to do this one like every other successful coin.

Sorry to ramble, didn't proofread this.

I'd say invite only and set betting limits.  Invite only will also build up buzz.  Get a mailing list set up so people can sign up to get randomly invited as spots open up.  What software did you end up using for the casino games?

What is the current list of working nodes?  I'm not syncing right now.

Edit:  Hasn't found a node for the last hour.  10 minutes after I posted this, it's now syncing.

Agreed, that's why I think the future of any gambling focused coin is to make real time cash (coin) gaming a reality somehow.  So you don't have to deposit and wait for confirms.  Maybe a bucket within the block chain that temporarily holds your deposit.  Same thing as depositing in the casino, but you're depositing into the block chain, so you can move from casino to casino/ table to table.  But who knows.

Normally you deposit money at the gaming site and it sits in your "account" in their wallet.  Then every time you play, you play from that account.  When you want to cash out, you manually do so.  What people do is deposit watever amount and then leave it in there.  Winnings get tallied up in the account, while the casino coin, or whatever other currency is held by the house.  When they want to cash out, they manually cash out.  There are a lot of bitcoin casino sites that get hacked and the house wallet gets emptied by the hacker - meaning those "points" are worthless.  This is why someone should develop a casino where currency is transfered in and out regularly and doesn't stay in the house wallet for too long.  With the low transaction fees of crypto, this is easy.  With regular currency, transaction fees were too high to do this, which is why some poker players has thousands or more in their account when the US government stopped letting them withdrawl and make deposits in their US bank accounts a couple of years ago.  That money was pretty much lost forever.

Here's what one should develop around this coin:

A poker site where buy in goes into house wallet before the game/tourney and payouts happen no matter what at the end of each game/tourney - no manual withdrawls or deposits over the amount to buy in or reload chips.  Rake gets paid from house wallet out to casino owner wallet immediately.  I'm researching bitcoin casinos and it seems like a lot of them get hacked all balances stolen.... quite often.  A lot of the time, this might even be the casino owner stealing everyone's balances and pretending it's hacked.

Something like this might be good to get CasinoCoin used more, but it will require some good development.

Just throwing out ideas to hopefully spark some creativity.
