The question is how many Bitcoin kids took their action to ACR or soon Bovada.
Anyone notice any difference in traffic or missing reg's?
BTC was their unique niche. No longer. Business people never know when to quit though. Instead walking out on top with profit and limiting losses - they usually keep chasing.
With the long weekend coming up, it looks like I might be taking my action to Bovada....Looking to run it up like StickyRice1 minus the going busto.

Inertia. Always the correct read.Quote:

Being down at this time is tragic timing if it is simply technical. Players aren't gonna kill time reading the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy - they will seek action elsewhere and ACR now takes their precious BTC. Don't force your customers to get their lunch elsewhere. They may not come back.
Besides seals/acr/bovada is there any decent poker to play in the US?Quote:

I think they are introducing new software. Anyone who knows micons track record on such things should not be surprised.
What migration takes 3 days? I guess bad execution is what you mean about "Micon's track record".Quote:

That's kinda interesting and profoundly stupid.
Not sure about the Stud 8 and the PLO8 but i deposited $100 pretty easily with my debt card on BovadaQuote:

My credit union wont let me deposit to bovada. Don't really want to jump through hoops to casually play. I'll try later today againQuote:

If you cant afford an operational budget that supports the niceties of an enterprise architecture (QA/stage/production environments, change control, so on) then yes 3 days for a migration is enthusiastically standard.
Well that IS the cost of the upgrade. Maybe you cannot afford the upgrade and the improvement is not worth the cost.Quote:

At the very least you communicate your actions to your customers.
I haven't looked but jacosta would have reported the reason if it was properly communicated.
So he is left to wonder. I am just enjoying the Schadenfreude of another US facing site's ineptitude. It is staggering how badly run they are.
Again I think you're measuring their performance using the wrong yardstick to an extent, but of course if you're speaking as a client, you couldnt be righter.
I guess if you set aside your customers and reputation and simply focus on this as a technical exercise you are right.Quote:

As much as it would be fun to dream up scenarios where
-bitcoins gone, site hacked
-micon ran off to Mexico with Tyde
-SWAT team cornered Micon's house yesterday
It really likely is that they're just that stupid with technology and do not have any sort of infrastructure at all. Not even a backup from the day before they could revert to lol

Good catch. He tweets all the time, and all of the sudden he is MIA. I am going with site hacked or he stole all the money and has disappeared.Quote:
