I can offer some insight on this:
I took over the lead dev role this past summer and have prioritized infrastructure since then. The end result of this has been a stable platform that no longer suffers from long term downtime and other infrastructure issues. In my eyes, stability is more important that churning out software that will not be highly optimized.
Regarding V2, I have began rewriting the API from the ground up and have scrapped what was already in place for a few reasons. While the delays are frustrating and may negate Money Pot's reputation, V2 is around the corner and the wait will be well worth it.
Some of V2's Features
- API DEV ENVIRONMENT!!!!!!!!
- Alt Coin Support.
- Card / Step Based (Nonce) API
- App Owner Faucet Offset. (Higher outputs as app owners can offset faucet amounts if desired.)
- More random tidbits.
If anyone has any questions regarding V2, reach out to me. Im not providing a timeline as it has not worked well in the past. There are several things that need to be accomplished before implementing V2. V2 will likely go through a Q/A period with app owners if they would like to participate. We are focused, we know the hunger is there.
as you are bringing up v2 here to discussion I will answer here ( I thought there is a slack channel for app owners )
about 5-6 month ago (yes long ago)ex head dev @uni gave us the following heads up and my questions if those very important points are still there or already canceled
1)
app owners get the option to auto register visitors and this user will not need to register with MP first. if this user will want to wager on other MP apps he will yes need to register with MP
this is a very good option to attract new customers cause many dont like to register with MP but after they came and took a promo and learn how MP works many yes like to register
2)
to implement chips/token for app owners so they can have their exclusive chips to give it to their customers for their promos. those chips/tokens can only be used on their app. it will not change the investors income cause the idea was that app owners can buy those chips from MP that means nothing changes for investors.
but for the app owner it is a big advantage to give finally very good promos and attract new players.
the app owner will have the option to set an expiration time/date. this helps also against promo abusers who just take the coins and run.
i hope I could bring it understandable over. sorry for my english
thx
1) This wouldn't work the way you described. It could theoretically be possible for a user to register via your site for MP but ultimately they will have to be authenticated via MP. Additionally, this would open up the flood gates on a security prospective as abusive app owners could take advantage of this in several ways.
2) We currently have a tip system that could be utilized in this manner. Are you referring to bonuses etc?
please let me give you what @uni explained and that was very clear and made a lot of sense and if it is out of v2 now it would be very sad
app owners need to register the visitors first. u can however have this as anonymous registration. like automatically register a user when they visit your site or click on a button to register anonymously.
app owners have the power to register any user. you can have it set up as like JPR_user1 for username. the api for registration wont need a password as well and the users registered on your app via this api will only be able to play on your app. if they decide to play on other apps using 1 account they must register on mp
the api will only need a username and your app secret so u can register the user. then it iwll return a special hash string that u can use to login the user
2) no not the tip option. if I tip you 1 btc to play only on our app how can I stop you to take it and run/withdraw? it looks that I did not explain it good enough but I thought it was understandable because when I explained the idea in slack uni and ranlo and some others understood it and promised the implementation with v2
