Except that you're NOT welcome when you get kicked out for having a neutral position and ask questions 
I believe he kicked you because you said you did not want to be involved. Trello is for people focusing on helping karma. You're welcome to keep posting in this thread. Not that anyone can prevent you from posting but i welcome your post. i like to read them. even though you sneak in a line or two of belittling karma. I try to be even-handed -- "tough on ideas and soft on the people"
1. What problem does Karma solve?
What problem does Bitcoin Solve? What problem does givecoin2 solve? Bitcoin has claimed the throne as the value exchange token. There are ancillary uses that we're seeing like timestamping services et al.
As for 2Give ? That is a very good and fair question! In its current state Givecoin is just as broken as Karma -- I readily admit that. What it does have going for it is, IMHO, a more reasonable number of tokens -- it has a good marketing history and I think it has the right kind of optics on its utility for charitable giving. We intend to use the coin as the default currency within https://doabitofgood.com and leverage it to facilitate "underwriting" activity where supporters will buy coins from non-profits and turn around and re-donate them back to other causes, thus bringing about a "virtuous cycle" in charitable giving.
Karma already has a healthy block chain. It moves form one block to the other in 1 minute average. for months. As my previous analogy , Karma blockchain is like an envelope. We got a perfect working system where we can send this envelope anywhere in the world. But we are lacking efforts in choosing what the best item to put inside that envelope. The community is made of few people who want to figure out best item to go inside the envelope and a lot , mostly of people who are too busy to invest on the price of the stamps for this envelope.
We have a coin catering to miners and investors. We are strongly tied to them mentally. People think the coin is failing because the price is falling down. They to blinded with their silly illusion that $100 will make them into millionaires. They so married to the price of satoshis and are angry that their mistress is Litoshi.
They forgot that it took one idea 6 months ago to turn this coin from 10 litoshi prices into a $3 million market cap coin. Coin was "dead" i remember this words. if one group of people came up with a LLC idea and boomed the coin to %3000 rise , imagine how much more we can achieve as a bigger group.
Remember. Bitcoin "died" many times. Litecoin "died" many times.

And herein lies the rub -- Karma as a coin for miners and investors I BELIEVE is counter to the coins purpose. Karma doesn't want to be hoarded or be rewarded for its exchange. Karma is meant for giving and maybe receiving some benefit for doing good.
If someone is in Karma for financial gain I can hope for nothing more than to see it crash to the point of irrelevance. I'm just being honest here. Not a popular position among the fanboys but I'm not one for telling people what they want to hear.
2. Why should someone be interested in supporting it?
because it has one of the best name out there. The main hook of this coin is the name. because it has some die hard fans. Because it has proven to be still a working coin for months. Because it is a coin focused on good. And good always prevails.
And on this point you and I are in 120% agreement -- however I worry that the ideals of the coin have and are being subverted for antithetical uses and purposes by special interests swayed (neigh, blinded) by their own self-serving interests to monetize on their efforts.
As long as it has a working blockchain the coin is never dead. having this perfect name it is very easy to find sympathy from anyone. tons of people want to see a coin like Karma become something. Everyone believes in its concept.
Because it has people like East who come online every day to work for this coins.
Because it has people who owns million and millions of coin who sit there do nothing all day.... wait no. this is bad!

It CAN die if people stop mining it and if exchanges cease to find profitable value in facilitating it's trade.
3. What makes Karma different than say Litecoin?
Technological wise the many difference that makes any coin different from any others.
Real usage wise we dont now yet because both of them have not found their true market yet. No coin has found its true spot in the top of the chain. even Bitcoin. Sometimes people forget how little bitcoin has achived compared to its true potentials.
if you look at all the coins out there, they all pretty much as in the same level. at the very beginning of their journey.
But we do have a better name
LOL - You have a name.
4. Does the community really want to be associated with Dice games?
This is a provocative question. We are not a nany state. If some people choose to play dice then its their choice. This doesnt mean its a community decision. Its too early to judge the whole community. its just some people having fun in this dark month. Please don't twist the situation.
And here's one for you?
Why are you letting eastagle13 co-opt and drive ? Alphi claimed the community didn't want another "messiah" and yet, it sure looks like you're following one

Because East is trying to do something while others sit here and talk. He isn't seen as a leader , he is still the same person that has been for months. trying to move forward.
There's nothing dangerous shown on his side. He is only trying to get people to Trello because it separate people between those who want to help and the the trolls who just come here in BTT.
That's the reason asked you to PM us or come to telegram instead , because if you discuss anything here it will spinned into a circle jerk of dramas. When you didnt. i asked you question publicly. it didnt take long before people attacked you based on your comments.
There is some trolls here and a lot of hurt karmanians. We can not keep a healthy conversation in this thread because it will always trigger some one's nervers. that is why we need some outside services to organize and be able to focus on topics.
But you must clearly see that he has taken a unilateral position of power by controlling the conversation. You can see the other posts where he offers access to that conversation but then demands fidelity in the form of an unverifiable "pay to play" position. Just wholly ridiculous.
