And WTF why is he pointing people to this forum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=40077.6020 when he has DD? Or did the Fed seize that shit?
Are there any news stories about this in Vegas? I haven't found any...maybe micon trumped up the story as a free advertising campaign since he was already planning to move to Antigua and figured he'd get a lot of btc fanboys to sign up.
A raid with 10 cops by the gaming commission would seem to make a decent news story...right?
Just about 100% sure Micon was telling the truth here.
I think there's no news story simply because it hasn't landed in the hands of the "right" people at Vegas news sources who would cover it.
Feel free to send the story to the LV Review Journal and LV Sun, and see if they want it.
Journalists are fucking lazy. If you don't put out a press release that is keyworded VEGAS then the LVRJ will NOT pick it up. To get a press release in front of them costs about $400.
probably because people actually visit bitcointalk.
He should have completely rebranded DD years ago to pure bitcoin talk, with a poker ar-chive.probably because people actually visit bitcointalk.
Holy crap they have OFC now

When you go d/l the new Seals, it is an msi file. Chrome warns you that its dangerous and tells you that you probably dont want to run it. Not that I think Seals is dangerous but lol @ them not using an .exe like the rest of the fucking world.
Pineapple OFC may be my biggest vice. I've never played it online. God help me.
Micon gonna Micon
Someone should go cybersquat & register sealswithclu.bs

It's hilarious that we as a society think everyone can be a dr, a lawyer, an engineer. Some people are just fucking stupid. Why can't we just accept that?
"Over 100 players simultaneously connected" on first day. Not too shabby...are they playing tho? Pretty much what I would have guessed...
This is actually pretty common when a site shows up with an installer, the reason is actually listed in chrome (at least for me) as "has not been downloaded by many users" which is pretty fair. The msi system is actually the modern way you're supposed to build installers for windows, exe installers are a relic of the 95 days that just won't go away because people are scared of change. Quite a few of them for trivial software are just exe wrappers around their respective msi packages. It's much better than WPN just installing their poker client directly to a folder in C:\ and requiring users be an administrator (so that the embedded IE doesn't cry about it's invalid certificates) to run it.When you go d/l the new Seals, it is an msi file.

The real fail is not signing the package, also the picture on the download page being a link to the picture itself.
Possibly the least valid complaint about seals I've seen.
The old download was a self extracting zip archive that just dumped the files wherever you ran it. Lobby chat had someone at least once a week trying to figure out just wtf the desktop client was cause all you'd see when you ran the exe was a cmd console window for a second and nothing. An actual installer package is like technology from the future compared to that.Possibly the least valid complaint about seals I've seen.
Lol @ the download pic being a link to the download pic itself.

Anyways your explanation is good from a tech perspective but not a marketing one. If u want your product to blow up, as we know Micon dreams about every day, you dont design the installer to where a major browser warns people it's dangerous and uncommon. If the Pokerstars programmers did this, upper management would walk in and slap them upside the head! I realize the average btc user is more tech savvy than the average Stars player, but still.
