Intro :: What is Pokereum
Pokereum is an experimental contemporary community driven idea of using flat virtual decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO) to manage and develop a decentralized application (DAPP) that solves the mental poker problem using Ethereum smart contracts, Telehash mesh networking and a consensus network. The Poker app or DAPP basically lets you play a game of poker while ensuring random number generation and card shuffling are fair and transparent while reducing cost for poker players, reducing the possibilities of collusion and enabling cheap boundless payments and withdrawals using cryptocurrencies and smart contracts. Mechanisms to enable easy on-boarding of non crypto-currency users and stable value crypto currencies are detailed in the white paper.
Pokereum, the Ethereum - Telehash based provably fair decentralized poker DAO & DAPP project is intended to unite all coin communities and spur mass adoption of crypto currencies. The Dapp aspect is made possible through the use of smart contracts, a unique proof of stake/participation based jury consensus system and a mini blockchain weakly subjected to the Ethereum chain.
The Pokereum poker app is a DAPP(decentralized app) managed by the evolving Pokereum DAO (decentralized autonomous organization): a collective community people from all coin communities working together to achieve a common goal, voting on key issues and direction and development of the Pokereum DAPP, assisted by DAO delegates and autonomous agents.
Every decision is controlled by the community as a whole using tokens associated with the Pokereum DAO. Governance and other organizational activities will start out on the Nxt Voting enabled platform and gradually move to the Ethereum platform; a more robust system for automated enforceable decisions and distributed trust / security. All Pokereum DAPP smart contracts will be built on the Ethereum platform. For more information on how DAO’S might work see this recent article detailing a overall sample framework :: http://www.coindesk.com/succeed-as-decentralized-autonomous-organization/

Screenshot
This is by no means an indication of our current development stage, This is just a sneak peak to the quality of interface we hope you’d love. Expect a video teaser overview of an actual gameplay experience of the client in a few days. ( See “Project status” section)
Purpose:
- Bring in the massive poker user base using a beautiful and enticing front-end user experience
- Leverage crypto currency core users to make payments easy for new crypto poker players
- Provide a provably fair system, fairly resistant to collusion and impossible to game
- Unite crypto-currency communities making Pokereum games currency agnostic
- Improve the utility of your “coin while helping to bring in massive poker user base
Project Highlights:
- Impeccable front end user experience, not just any ol “GUI”
- Easy new crypto user on-boarding by providing new users with options to pre-fund accounts, requesting funds from other crypto poker players localbitcoins style with smart contract escrow
- Provably fair random number generation and encrypted card permutation generation
- Multiple anti-collusion mechanisms including :
-deployment of low EV dispersible bots at low capacity
- Leveraging stable value currencies like Nubits or BITUSD in addition to projects like “etherex" decentralized exchange for pokereum game chips
- Dapp reserves; valid DAO tokens access Pokereum dapp smart contract holdings of earnings proportional to token amounts
Notable Portions of System of contracts
- Stable value currencies
- Alt-coin payment integration (coin community collaborations needed)
- Request and exchange :: Fiat payments easy access regular players
- Dapp reserves
Project Status :
- Front-end client : 85 % complete (lookout for a video teaser next monday march 2nd)
- Telehash based p2p poker chat component : 95%
- Poker library : 100% complete
- White paper : refinement stage
- Backend smart contract system : refining stage / some development
- Consensus systems : refining stage / some development

White Paper tl;dr Important Tidbits
Parent chain and Security
Parent chain is the ethereum chain on which the Pokereum “Ringed chain” relies. Information block information is stored and retrieved from the ethereum blockchain by new nodes joining the network
Anti-collusion
Multi-strategy anti-collusion mechanisms using:
-Table stake group access randomization and challenge response jury pool authentication
-deployment of low EV dispersible bots at low capacity
Trustworthiness and Sybil Resilience
Foundation for anti-collusion and a basis for the security of the jury pool consensus system. Using an account effective stake, account velocity and participation as a unit for determining eligibility to the jury consensus pools
Provably fair random number and shuffling
Multiple random inputs from jury pool nodes are sent to contracts and combined for an increased entropic seed to random number generation, generating multiple encrypted decks by adding and increasing nonces. Multitude of encrypted cards and keys can be generated and stored in decentralized storage until ready for use by the network.
Multi-Networks Player Nodes:
A pokereum node consist of an ethereum connected light client , ability to use the whisper protocol alongside decentralized storage and telehash enabled mesh RTC
Jury Pools
These are subsets of the network nodes selected to pools using random information passed to the Pokereum network by the system of ethereum contract in addition to their effective stake, account velocity/participation to perform important task on behalf of the Pokereum network as a whole
Check Points
Specific points in the Ethereum blockchain where new nodes can download old information to be sure they have the correct state of the network
Epochs Ringed blockchain
24 hour, 1 hour intervals. 1 hour is an epoch. Every 25th hour epoch is overwritten by a new 1st hour epoch. each current hour represents the current state of the network
Player gamification point system
Ten ranks represented by 10 badges. Each rank constitutes a certain number of points. Top ranking nodes are rewarded with rake backs, free private tables, free tournament entries and more as the network matures
Pokereum DAO
The Pokereum DAO is in charge of the management of the Pokereum DAPP.
Members consists of individuals, establishments or autonomous agents. Every
member of the DAO is incentivized to contribute to the long term success of the DAPP
Crowdfunding date: TBD by DAO (DAO delegates needed)
Most of all, no promises made, no outcome is certain. This is an experiment and you are welcome to be part of it, to help dictate its future. Thank you.
