After being offline for over a week, the bitcoin only site Seals With Clubs has announced that it will not be restarting—a notice on the website provides an explanation citing security concerns.
The notice warns payers that they have a “limited period of time” to withdraw their funds.
The management announced that the technical problems of February 11 which took the site offline consisted of “several events … related to operational security that we consider to indicate SealsWithClubs now operates in a perpetual state of jeopardy.”
“We do not believe any of our Bitcoin wallets used in operations to be compromised or lost. However, this event has made the majority vote of the ownership and team agree that shutting down operations is the best move for safety and security purposes,” continued the statement.
SWV Chairman Bryan Micon, who has been involved with the SWC project for the longest of all the management team, plans to continue his commitment to bitcoin poker from Antigua.
The newly developed software version 2.0, which was planned to be released at the end of March, will form the basis of his plans to relaunch the SWC poker room under the new domain, swcpoker.eu.
The management statement says that they believe “Micon will have the resources at his disposal to bring the new site up, backed by the new SwC 2.0 software package, at a rapid pace.”
The existing software in which the technical and security issues reside, will be retired completely.
