Hey there,
We've talked to Paxful about this earlier this year as it is a problem.
The issue is that they don't support the new Bitcoin addresses that we use (the ones that start with 'bc1').
In fact, we had to temporarily pause our partnership with them after we made the upgrade from the old addresses.
They tell us that the processor that they use is expected to add support for it eventually but there's no ETA.
In the meantime, we recommend just using Bitcoin Cash. If you really want to play using BTC, you can try using SideShift to deposit BCH and get BTC from it but we don't really recommend this due to the extra fees involved.
Alternatively, /r/bitcoin might be able to recommend a good wallet that supports the new address format (which is called Bech32). We know that Electrum works so you could try that. You'd need to transfer the Bitcoin from Paxful to that wallet, then from that wallet to your Blockchain Poker account.
Again, it's probably just better to use Bitcoin Cash until companies like Paxful are able to get that issue sorted out.
[edit] Here's a response with a bit more information. ^^
No. This is for real teaching. I don't care if the bots scream that they are bots loudly and often.
Actually, I'm thinking about just using pokerth since it automatically has all the seats not taken by real players filled with bots. My problem is that it seems pokerth has a max 60 second timeout per player, and that isn't very good for teaching another player. Sometimes I will need more than 60 seconds to explain a hand.
As you realize, for teaching, one even needs to communicate with another player, which is another poker no-no. So that's why I just want to be able to set up a private table somewhere and talk and change things and do all the stuff against the rules that one does when teaching.
Well, turns out it was just Google Authenticator that was the issue. emailed support and they suggested i try https://authenticator.cc/ (browser extension) and i just manually entered the info to add it in (on my pc) and it worked 1st try. Suggested to them --> Maybe update in the Settings to not suggest google authenticator or just add in the authenticator.cc option?
I am also fond of online poker, and at the moment I am looking for people who want to play. Texas Hold'em has finally appeared in the Utopia p2p https://u.is/en/ ecosystem. Unfortunately, there are not many good players there, and I don't like to beat newcomers.
