Just wanted to check in on an ETA for the android client. If I recall correctly, that's supposed to be dropping soon, right?
Micon, I know you've said "soon", I wanna say that a few days ago you were suggesting that it would be a few days for android client. Any updates possible? Could be wrong, but pretty sure a few days ago he was saying like 6+ weeks. I'm too lazy to go back pages and look, but I definitely have "couple months" stuck in my head, so I assume I read it somewhere on here. |

Hi
Probably discussed before but do you plan to release a browser lobby/ tables instead of an EXE ?
Indeed, I we've been griping about it for many pages. Supposedly an android client is next (which will solve my issue) then they're doing more desktop clients for other OSes, then finally html5. I dunno why it's not the other way around. |

need tracking of won lost at each table session and its pretty hard to see whose turn it is when your multi tabling no arrow or highlit on whosever action it may be. Also need actual discription of hands won as get one secon to see hand in ring since cards are dark on shoves until after river.

I have to say, I'd love to hear the rationale as to why they targeted the "new software" they were working on so long at WINDOZE only. I know that's what's done is done, but in my opinion, even mavens using flash (and i hate flash) was better than nothing. |

They wanted to bring certain games and features to sealswithclubs.eu which they accomplished by PURCHASING EXISTING SOFTWARE which had the featureset that they were looking for with the intention of finishing multiple clients PRIOR TO RELEASE. Then sealswithclubs.eu was shut down unexpectedly and rather than nothing for everyone they decided to move forward with what they had while they worked on the rest for swcpoker.eu. As an android player, I miss poker too...but griping about it here is not going to change anything. |

Well I'm in the same boat as sed (and maybe the same boat as you) and I have to disagree on one point. Griping here may indeed change something because registering the gripes gives Micon and his team an idea of what's important to their customers (or potential customers). If we stay silent and say nothing then swc team may simply not realize how many folks will rejoin when they fix their platform issues. |

I agree with tspacepilot about the utility of griping, how can we expect change if we don't ask for it? I would not say only a few people are willing to run the .exe. Right now during the work day US 187 players are logged. I would say that Linux and Mac users can easily run the software for free in Virtual Box or Parallels but are too stubborn against MS to even try. If they spent the time they spend complaining in installing Virtual Box or Parallelss in Mac, they would have already been playing. I guess the ones that do not have a free choice right now are Android users. Even then, you can still use it in Android thru a cheap VPS and an Android RDP client. FREE https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/DownloadsFREE http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-isoFREE https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tux.client&hl=en$10 Windows VPS until they get the Android client out http://www.hostingsource.com/standard_vps_plans.phpTake 1/2 hour to learn something new for a change. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. |

Thanks for the links, maybe I'll give this a shot (but I dunno, it seems very onerous to me to install all this broken software on my computer just to play poker---maybe it's better just to wait until something nonbroken comes along). The only thing I really have to push back on is that in fact, my mind was being wasted when I used to used windows about 8 years ago. I could only use my computer in the way that MSCORP says I can. I have no choice about when to install updates from MSCORP no matter whether they are broken or not. When I switched to GNU/Linux my mind began to be educated because I suddenly had control of my own CPU. I had a helpful community to help me understand how computers work and how software works. I became master of my own destiny and experienced freedom. So, what I read you saying is: look man, you can take your clean house, dig a hole in the floor, drop a bunch of rat shit in the middle of your living room and wade around it in and then play bitcoin poker for fun. You might be right about that, but I'd hardly call playing around in ratshit a useful exercise for my mind. And, FWIW, I run a really efficient linux distro on a low-memory portable computer so it's just not clear to me that I'll have enough memory to do the virtual box thing. Anyway, I may try. I especially appreciate the link to the trial-iso. |

Again, wearsmyliberty, I have to disagree. Respectfully reminding of the problem is crucial so that the SWC folks have it in mind how many people care. If no one was griping, how would they know if anyone cared?

I especially appreciate the link to the trial-iso. Pilot there are many ways to do it. If you don't have enough memory you can partition your hard drive and install in a dual boot system without using VB at all. This should very easy for you to do since you state that you code for bitcoins which is much harder. The only excuse is the no windoze mentality which does not allow you to enjoy the full computer experience now available. You are stuck in the windows vista sucks mentality. That was more than 8 years ago bro. Win7 is super stable and Win8 and up super stable, secure and very light. Get off this dinosaur that only 1% of desktop users use. I will also have to agree with the others that complaining about this particular issue is a waste of your time. If you had done what you could have done since your last post you could be playing right now if you wanted to. NOBODY WANTS THE ANDROID VERSION ASAP MORE THAN MICON. Adapt to the situation which is only temporary. Adapt, survive, find a way to win. Until Android comes out I have been mostly playing while traveling thru Windows VPS on Anfroid tablet connecting to the VPS thru Android RDP with zero issues. ADAPT SURVIVE FIND A WAY TO WIN. |

The horrible thing about swcpoker is that , I play at pokerstars against fish and make a decent something to feel good about my poker skills. However swc has some poker guru's or something , the people that play in swc are MUCH better then pokerstars and I can't seem to make profit  Please get some poker noobs to SwC so we can win too |

I <3 you guys ITT  Let's not argue over who wants it more, but we're starting the Android and Mac clients soon and I expect them to take about 8-12 weeks. PROGRAMMING NOTE: We are going to restart in about an hour or so, have some changes and bug fixes. Shouldn't be down long when we do it. |

Pokerstars does have a lot of fishy's because of the sheer size and continuous new comers the site has but the majority are better than what i have played against at the old seals site. I cannot see much has changed since then. What games are you talking cash/tourny? What stakes because try site down in a pokerstars med stake game then come back with you review. 'Much' better that did make me laugh |

pressing the reset button right now / brb 10-20 minutes.
fixing things.
Edit: back up
* NL-PL raise when you shouldn't be able to (after a slightly-more-than-curent-bet all-in) is now fixed.
Please keep listing any bugs you run into, our team is fast at fixing them and we are determined to exterminate them all.
initial work on Android & Mac client next few days. Will take likely months so just know many humans are still working really hard on the SwC project.

This should very easy for you to do since you state that you code for bitcoins which is much harder. The only excuse is the no windoze mentality which does not allow you to enjoy the full computer experience now available. You are stuck in the windows vista sucks mentality. That was more than 8 years ago bro. Win7 is super stable and Win8 and up super stable, secure and very light. Get off this dinosaur that only 1% of desktop users use. wwwwin, I'm not suggesting that installing windows is beyond my abilities. I am suggesting that in my own life, freeing my computer from proprietary control has enriched and improved my life and I'm not interesting in moving backwards on that point. Consider what you're saying to me: you're suggesting that a guy like me who finds the mere idea of installing a virtual box of windows sorta disgusting that I should partition my harddrive and put it on my machine for real? I hope you can see how that's a lot like suggesting "well, if the chlorine in this pool is making your eyes uncomfortable, you could always just swim in straight unadulterated bleach". Sorry for the weird example but I'm just trying to point out that if I'm *considering* fucking around with a virtual box to play poker but haven't really found the motivation, it's pretty much nuts to expect that I'm going to partition my hard drive and install a windows there. I'm glad that you like Win7 and Win8 and that you think they are secure and lightweight. I believe that factually you are quite misguided in these points. I think that if you consider Win7 or Win8 to be secure or lightweight then we must have extremely different views of the meaning of these words. If you actually want to see lightweight, run debian testing with a fluxbox desktop on the same machine where you Win8 takes 1.5 minutes to boot up and you will be shocked at the true meaning lightweight. Nevertheless, we digress here. I will also have to agree with the others that complaining about this particular issue is a waste of your time. If you had done what you could have done since your last post you could be playing right now if you wanted to.
You have to imagine that I have other things going on in my life besides fucking around with the software on my computer. Not that I don't enjoy fucking around with the software on my computer, but please. While I'm sure you're correct that if I had dedicated the time between my last post here and this one to fucking around with windows and virtual machines and whatnot I might have found a working solution, I hope you can understand that work, family life and sleeping are also a reality for me. In the days of yore, I was able to enjoy bitcoin poker on my bus ride to work, alas. Perhaps the good days will come again. I hope you can see that by living my life in the way that I choose, I am experiencing freedom and happiness and the fact that my choices aren't the same as yours doesn't mean that I'm "wasting my time". As to whether complaining here is a waste of time, I refer you to Micon's post just below yours in which he says, Okay we've now started developing the android client. We can't examine an alternate timeline, but in this timeline, many of us have complained and it seems quite possible that the SWC team is reacting to these complaints as it figures out what to prioritize. From what I can tell, complaining in this thread is quite the opposite of a waste of time. NOBODY WANTS THE ANDROID VERSION ASAP MORE THAN MICON.
Funny how that exact line keeps cropping up in this thread. How can we know anyone else's inner desires and compare them to others in terms of magnitude. Presumably, Micon has some way to run .EXE files which he feels okay about so in terms of facts we can say that while Micon can play, others cannot. Then again there's the fact that when more of us can play, Micon can make more money so I'm not doubting his motivation. Adapt to the situation which is only temporary. Adapt, survive, find a way to win. Until Android comes out I have been mostly playing while traveling thru Windows VPS on Anfroid tablet connecting to the VPS thru Android RDP with zero issues. ADAPT SURVIVE FIND A WAY TO WIN.
Keep in mind that waiting and doing other things is also an adaption. Who knows, I might try the virtual box thingy with the trial ISO you linked us to at some point in the future. However, I may not. I really find proprietary OSs quite dangerous and I've been experiencing a real "win" in my life once I stopped associating with them. Cheers! Oh yah, this: so there will be no flash client or it will come at the end? #We_want_bet_back #i_want_to_degen_ #askmicon
