but I see Mike has been unactive here for almost a couple of month;has there been main changes? In either ownership and/or management/staff at oshi.io?
Thanks in advance for explaining.
Another post from me. Just so you know who I am, I'm the founder and CEO of Oshi and if you look around for 'nick garner' , you'll find lots about me online.
Oshi MikeFirstly, with Mike… He just kind of drifted away. People do that. He moved to a different part of the world, re-prioritised a bunch of stuff in his life and I guess he just thought Oshi was not that important anymore to him. So that's fine. Were all cool and if he resurfaces; Great! because I like him a lot.
We should have a new community manager coming on board very soon. It's actually very hard to find somebody who is likeable, knows Bitcoin really well and is into what were doing with Oshi, but we may have found somebody. So I hope you'll be gentle with him when he makes his first appearance.
And then there's me. I'm not a Bitcoin expert relatively speaking, but at least I can tell you about the casino and hopefully help out were necessary.
What's been going onfirstly, a little bit of history. We launched the casino back in November 2015 and we started out with a standard theme/site infrastructure from SoftSwiss. We then immediately started pulling it apart to make it more of what we believe a casino site should be.
Around December it was clear that we couldn't work with the existing web front-end and so we began the huge task of completely rebuilding the front-end of the website, along with a new middleware which could then talk to SoftSwiss. I'm being slightly technical, but in short we built everything from the ground up.
Why? Because just having another 'same as' casino is a quick way to burn through a ton of marketing cash and end up nowhere. So we decided to follow our convictions and rebuild the whole site around a simple idea:
You go to a casino to play casino games. Make it as easy as possible for you to find the games you want to play.And with that principle, with rebuilt the whole website around making it easy to find games that you want to play. Essentially, we've taken an e-commerce approach to online casino. If you think about a real estate website, or an auto sales website, they are designed to get you from the homepage to the property or the car that you want to buy. Another good example would be Steam, who are brilliant at navigating you to those games you might want to buy.
And that's what were doing.
There's a huge amount of work still to do, but I think were getting much closer to something special, where you can actually sift through all of these hundreds of casino games to find the ones you actually want to play. Have test drive and see what you think...
Random fact: Every single casino game goes to a categorisation process, where we have 97 attributes and 1441 sub attributes which we used to categorise a game, for instance:
Attribute: Theme Color Algo primary - i.e. where we use a tool that has an algorithm for describing the primary, secondary and tertiary colours on a casino game.
Theme Color Algo primary : Black
Theme Color Algo primary : Blue
Theme Color Algo primary : Brown
Theme Color Algo primary : Green
Theme Color Algo primary : Grey
Theme Color Algo primary : Orange
Theme Color Algo primary : Violet
Theme Color Algo primary : Yellow
Why is this useful? Because people like certain colours more than others and therefore they might like games which are brown, more than green games.
The big idea is to catalogue games just like someone catalogues features in a car when selling it on a website. And with this categorisation, we can then do some really interesting stuff which were only beginning to explore. For you, we just want a completely seamless frictionless experience. A bit like whatever your favourite e-commerce websites are.
There is a fairly complete list here
