One of the options on the table yes, but does it help at scale for enterprises ?
Way I saw it, its a system to help volunteers assisting the community. Similar to delegate pay.
Would appreciate any links / sources of info.
Its a referral program - you share in the fees of users you bring to bitshares
Did you look into the rewards program?
Currently, the team is looking at ethereum, Bitshares and private VC investments to go forward.
Inputs would be welcome.
Go private. There is no way the community will be able to fund raise the amount of money you'll need for a gambling licence.
Big opportunities in this sector.
If you get just a couple of popular games using BTS/PLAY for their in-game purchases and a referral programme, the network effect could be huge. E-Betting and Blockchain based gambling in general is also going to be massive when it takes off.Hey guys,
Just wanted to share an article I'd written off late.
Explains why we do what we do, and believe gaming is the frontier for user adaption when it comes to crypto

Everytime you open your mouth I realize how similarly we see things...I've been saying we should never underestimate PLAY for this very reason. There are SO MANY reasons...
1) botters are not supposed to exist in games but they do. And they do real work (killing monsters or automating trading between gold and in game items in auction houses to name two). Real proof of work...
2) gamers are able to collectively organize and accomplish complicated tasks on a level most every other demographic is unable to easily attain.
3) gamers are used to changing economies in regular succession. Changing the game one plays puts them in a new world and likely a car different economy than the last game.
4) gamers tend to be more capable of utilizing learning GUI interfaces at a more intuitive level (in general).
5) gamers understand digital value can represent real value and understand the basics of how economies work and how value is perceived
6) gamers who are also coders often fall in love with a game and it's community and build tools for their communities to use. These tools shouldn't take too much reworking to create utilities that enable cryptocurrency to be layered into the featureset.
And....then of course you have this: https://medium.com/@GameBet_Business/gaming-and-crypto-s-b3d5e2ff37ff
Good points.
Two new cool projects in this direction:

Anyway, we need to chat offline when you get a chance, cool?
Just thought I'd drop by and share my thoughts.
I've worked closely with both Bitshares and Nxt.
Nxt helped us raise 5k around last september to revamp our technology stack on the website and release a better version.
We'd issued what would be a BUIA (bitshares user issued asset) in Nxt - issues on the NXT Asset exchange.
We'd around 1 million tokens and liquidated only around 200k of those tokens to raise the amount.
The strategy was to raise "exactly" what was needed and not to go with how most crowd funds work - raising random, high amounts.
In the 3 months we raised funds, I made it a point to keep donators updated about progress and what I thought we could do better.
I'd promised giving the funders a cut of our profit, and we've been paying dividends succesfully for 3 months now.
I also had the wonderful opportunity of networking within Nxt's ecosystem and finding some amazing contacts.
With Bitshares, my approach was drastically different.
I'd come here at a time we were rolling out our advertising program and we were openly looking at coins that would benefit by working with us.
The most obvious candidate was Bitshares play so I made it a point to visit here, post a brief on what we do and where' we're headed, did the same with the Play talk forum and had little responses. Fuzzy was extremely helpful. Same with Stan, Max and Adam. All marketing leads worked (and continue) to do the same closely with us and we do have a line of products coming up from our end, some of which would have certain aspects of Bitshares integrated into it.
If PLS intends to do things of the same level, they'd have to make themselves more available and open to interaction and integration.
Admittedly, we at FS have been trying to get in touch with them - with zero responses from the Play team for weeks now.
Sadly, we're also looking at an entire suite of products that fit in perfectly with what they are building.
Given the scale of our user base (100k monthly) I believe a collaboration would benefit both houses,
So.. here's a random shout out to Hackerfish - we should talk and hopefully, work together.
Looking to hear more about it!
Conceptually, i agree that the forum tech should evolve...seems like we're still using two decade old tech to communicate while trying to change the world otherwise
DPOS Hub is in the works - here are the details, is this something you could help with?

For the past three months, while the core devs have been working diligently to enhance, reinforce, and solidify the BitShares software protocol, my business partner Jonathan and I have been busy identifying and mapping a specific group of public relations and social media tools that will help support and strengthen the bonds of human relationships, both personal and professional, that are perhaps equally as vital to the success of BitShares.
In the following pages, we outline a plan for addressing some of the key difficulties our community has faced in attempting to generate PR traction both within and outside of the cryptosphere. We have identified three separate categories as they relate to the gathering and processing of information...

If we could just overcome the habit of "quote-entire-post-and-append-5%" and replace it with a like button, that change alone would probably save scroll wheels all over the world.
but we need it to bump stuff
Few minutes ago, I had amazing customer service on elegant theme`s forum.
I've got an idea:
I thought it would be cool if I could send a BitUSD micro payment to this guy to thank him. Just like with ChangeTip.
This guy would be probably happy to have free internet money and then he would be incentivized to go through the process to open a wallet. This wallet has this micropayment functionality and keeps track of the referrals the micropayment bring in.
This wallet would have to be great at inviting people with good copy and an easy sign up process. Then for a viral loop, it would invite the new user to start tipping other and participate in the profit sharing of the wallet. "When you tip and bring in new users, we reward you with x% of all their future transactions"
A smart contract with multisig between the wallet provider and the wallet referrer could split the referral rewards on a monthly basis with a pre-defined x% of it's referral transactions. Everytime someone sends a micropayment the wallet and it's the referrer earns.
The x% would be defined by what is needed for funding development while being high enough to incentivizing it's users to tip.
If such a feature existed in a wallet, a marketer could use this and build a business by signing up people by simply sending tips for good work on the internet. (Fiverr, Content, Youtube, twitter, reddit, email, etc)
Would that interest MoonStone @bitsapphire ?
I like this approach! I would think this could be worth a worker slot in 2.0 !
As far as I know my forum identity is not connected to my bit shares account, if it was, I wouldn't like having other knowing how much money I have in the bank.
