Topic: [XC][XCurrency] Decentralised Trustless Privacy Platform / Encrypted XChat / Pos - page 680. (Read 1484248 times)

I like the way this discussion is going. Very interesting.

What if we made an API and let third parties create stuff like this to get in on the XC action?

F.ck, all this Poker talk made me activate my old PS account, should be programming now but are again enjoying the game ...

Any news today, Dan?

In time this would def. work. You make some valid points About The rake and they're fiat gateway problems. Once we are adopter by The poker community setting up a site and generatie traffic  would be easy

F#ck my phone

It would be difficult to attract enought traffic. But a poker site with XC deposit/withdraw and low rake structure would be the nuts.
The rake is killing the game slowly ,average skill level increase every year and average winrate decrease but rake doesn't moove and stay completely out of line to the point where in pot limit omaha very few players can win long term at low/middle stake (<1$/2$). Not a lot of players arrive to moove up in stake as result high stake action are dry. For exemple a random regular at mid stake pay 100k$ rake per year , for the service he get it's completely crazy.
Professionals poker players have huge bankroll  who sleep in site as neteller or moneybookers, only minimum amount of bankroll stay  on poker site since black friday. They can't invest their bankroll because as soon as they experiment some variance they could need to reload their poker cashier pretty quick.
Some poker site as Partypoker charge 3% non capped for every withdraw to neteller.
If a professionnal poker player would have the opportunity to cash out their money on XC, and redeposit for free (low fees <1%) directly on poker site, it would be a great improvement, because they could invest their "sleeping money" (and stake 3%/ year) with their bankroll, they could still redeposit on poker site very quickly, they would not be charged 3% as partypoker do. They could moove their money anonymously (not too bad for taxes), pay directly with XC (nfc payement),withdraw cash (XC atm). Finally pokers players would not need bank account anymore.
i have read neteller is against bitcoin so i don't expect a third party to allow transfert (and low fees) from xc  -> 3nd party ->poker site soon.
Actually a poker player who want to invest a part of his bankroll in XC have for exemple to withdraw from neteller to bank account, then bank account to bitstamp, bitstamp to mintpal, finally they can buy xc after 1 week of transfert +  fees.
Big poker site company can't accept directly XC or bitcoin deposit because they want to act aswell on regulated market (usa, france, italie, spain), and they don't want to be accuse of money laundering.
Dan could create a XC to fiat decentralized exchange  where transfert from XC wallet to poker site in $  could be execute (as neteller) with low fees and instantaneously. Then XC team would have to convince big poker site to accept fiat deposit/widthdraw coming from XC decentralized exchange(would be the hardest part i guess).
I am a professional cash game poker player online for last 8 years and i would invest a lot more money on XC if i could instantaneously deposit/withdraw money with xc on poker site.

If I knew how to code would already have started.

But get a dev team together, get some poker pro involved with devlopment, poker players from community.. And get it ready right after launch

It has The potential to be used tree out The poker community (pro, home or other sidebets with palls)

I like this idea :-)

What would work is a app that they can use for they're ridiculous sidebets (Phil now does this by hand). Of course the currency used would be Xcurrency

Now I just noticed!  Thanks for tipping me off... cool!

rw-stott... have you noticed your thread title came through

i want my xc daily update!  and i want info on the undisclosed rev2 privacy feature!!!

Would be better discussed in a different thread I think

Maybe an online gambling site that allows all alts to be used? Cashier/Exchange other alts for XC or BTC for gaming currency. There would be profit just in the exchange of alts. I think it can be done.

Ill get in contact with my Dutch poker palls (ept winners) and start to do some advertising crypto and XC in general. All those extra features that were implemented are really going to help the salespitch!

A couple of my friends from college live in Vegas/Cali and play professionally and know Ivey well. I'll text them and see what I can do.

Site would be just for show so no real value. Getting inside the (pro) poker community is what we should aim for (after launch)

But we need some USP's (unique selling points) that fit to they're lifestyle

True, but I'm still not sure how big it would be if they managed it better.  As it stands, the fiat online poker community is shrinking and can't really support too many new sites. 

Yes I agree. That would more suit as a future milestone (created by a community member). Getting the poker community onboard with XC and create some USP's for them would be more effective.

Jake, my account at 2+2 is 6 years old.. Let's get ready to rumble Shuffle up and deal!

Well, seals with clubs?...
I will be a crappy site forever because of the crappy name and the crappy team managing it...
For real? Wordpress?

Ok, so I played a ton of online poker, even after the DOJ shut down FTP/PS in the U.S.  I've seen many poker sites launch with no success. It's very hard to start a successful online poker site because you need a large enough player pool to make it successful.  Even a bad poker site has way more signups than XC probably has holders.  As big as Bitcoin is, even Seals with Clubs is still a small crappy site.

IMO, it's not a good idea to waste time making a decentralized poker game until XC has at least reached Bitcoin level of adoption.
