General Discussion / Re: What are your opinions on these projects, and are they a threat to Bitshares?
« on: August 26, 2014, 04:03:09 am »IMHO, at least for now, the bottle neck of the DAC industry is far from a property of "scriptable" or "programmable".
It's mechanisms, performance, economic model etc.
+ solid ideas like bitassets
I guess I agree with you there, but I am looking into next year and the year after that already!! Some of the Litecoin guys told me I would never be happy with the speed of innovation, no matter what coin I ended up adopting when I was in the middle of my campaign to get them to start innovating... maybe they were right haha.
I like to speculate, think, and debate about the future. It is what I enjoy doing most in the crypto currency community. I am happy with the way and pace Bitshares is progressing thus far, and I look forward to helping nudge you guys in the direction I think you should go.
I think a decentralized poker DAC would be huge too, but making an efficient mental poker is a very challenging problem. The awesome thing is that you guys have the utmost expert on mental poker on your team, Sergio Lerner, but as security analyst. You guys need to really get with him and talk about that, as it is a multi-million dollar industry if done properly... pokerstars just got acquired for one and a half billion + stock in Amaya gaming.
There are some efficiency problems with the mental poker framework and challenges in stopping collusion but I think they are solvable. If anyone is going to figure out an efficient MPF it is Sergio. I think the collusion/bot issues are solvable as well.. I have some ideas and have done a lot of research on it.
