There have been some really good comments in the last few days. Its good to see that there are people wanting this coin to succeed.
But i think we need a good plan in order to make this happen.
Right now casinocoin is doing a great great job with making the first casino etc but in order for the coin to go up we need some gambling operators to start accepting it.
This is still in the future as there is a lot to be done before proposing the casinocoin to any one.
I said some of the things already a few times but i will say them again.
First of all i think that there has to be a clear idea of who is working on the coin. After all people have to know if the coin is secure = is some one working actively on improving and maintaining the coin itself ?
And this person/persons have to be active in the thread, people tend to loose fate if they don't see the creator of the coin - after all, if he does not think his coin has a future why should they ? ( its just my opinion, i do not mean anything bad ). Of course the community has to support this person, right now i guess the best way is with donation. I personally will be very happy to regularly donate if i see that the coin is improving and work is being done.
After that there is the team that cares for the marketing of the coin.
- amazing logo
- great banners
- advertising ( banner exchange ) anywhere possible, even the smallest web pages are great help. Forum threads in different forums.
- web page that has great looks and everything on the coin in one place. pretty much a place where a person that hears for crypto currency for the first time can come and easily understand all about casino coin.
* that includes various guides with pictures, information on how to buy, sell, mine, play with the coin, best and most secure way to keep the coin ( people are really afraid of being hacked )
* profitability calculator, current and expected difficulty
* all exchanged and current rates
* and most importantly - all places that accept the coin, all places the coin is being discussed
* i am sure there is more then that but even that would be an amazing start
right now there are 2 pages for the code - one made by the creator ( transcoder ) and one made by casinocoin - this looks strange to be honest and i think this can push people back. Why not gather the efforts and make all in the same place ?
So if we have this 2 teams working actively together then for sure there will be a bright future for the coin. But i definitely think that the key to all is working together. All people that want to help in one of the teams should have some sort of skype group, IRC chat, or anything like that. Pretty much a place where they can discuss and plan the future of the coin.
Now i would like to say some thoughts on the gambling side. I have been in this business since A LOT of time. As a player, as a poker manager in pretty big rooms and now i am running a very successful affiliate web page. So i will give my point of view.
All gambling operators look for one thing only - profit. So if you can offer them a way to increase the profit, they will like the idea and jump in. No one will go after the idea just cuz its great.
So what can the casino coin offer them ?
For one its the low transaction fees, as stated in a previous comment, Credit card charge backs are not very nice. Even transactions to Skrill, Netteler are way bigger then what casino coin can provide.
But how will the players use the coin ? And i think this is the most important part.
Right now if we say a big company wants to use the coin. The games everywhere are in USD/EU whatever currency. So to think that they will change that and start using casino coin is madness.
The idea should be to use casino coin as one of the options for funding the players account.
But how will that happen ? The player will deposit CSC to his wallet in the room, after that he has to convert his funds to the desired currency and play with it - after that he can either convert back or keep it. Pretty much as
the exchange between diff currency works at Pokerstars.
The problem that i see at this moment is that the room has to convert the players CSC to cash, then the room has to convert the CSC -> BTC and THEN BTC>cash. And no room will do that manually. Even if its just CSC-> cash the exchange has to be done automatically : player deposits 1000 CSC, then sends a request to transfer 1000 CSC -> Cash, room give's him a rate , exchanges 1000CSC for cash and in the same time give's him the money.
So i think that the main thing to be done here is a program that can do that automatically. So when we go to the gambling operators we give them a full solution.
Meaning - you get the full package. You get CSC implemented on your web page and then you get this program that works with Cryptsy, Coin-e, any exchange that accepts coins. When the player requests to buy cash for CSC, the program automatically gives him the exchange rate and when he presses the BUY button, the program automatically sells the amount at the exchange and give's him the money.
Okay its starting to get a very long post and i think not many people will read it
To end it i just want to say that i love the idea of the coin ! I will do all i can to support it. I can provide help with logo,banner, graphic designs ( just not web page design atm ) , i can provide facebook support and if i see that the people behind are working actively on the coin i will even fund FB campaigns myself. When we are ready i can start negotiations with gaming operators.
Right now i will donate a bit more and hope to get everyone excited on the coin, i hate seeing it loose value on the exchanges, lets change that !
I am sending another 250 CSC to casino coin and i will be very happy to donate some more to transcoder when he comes back !
Cheers all.
