Title: Substance to the Hype!
Post by: SaintFlow on August 17, 2012, 08:48:41 AM
Good morning fellow coiners.

Aside from the press attention we have been getting I was aware of precious little
In terms of substance. OK more users, a clear MCAD and a RSI screaming for release.

But then I found a add of something I have not seen discussed jet.

A game called Dragons Tale. It looks kind of like Second Life MMORG, but seems to
be basically the biggest casino you can imagine. And it only uses Bitcoin.

Is that newsworthy or what?

What press attention? I thought the press is suspiciously silent this time. Nothing compared with last year:

Dragons Tale has been around since 2010.

So why does no one mention it?

I mean it seems to be like a bit coin dispenser and therefore great for the community.

Something like Satoshi Dice (satoshidice.com) seems to be a lot more efficient for gambling to me, plus the results are verifiably 'fair'.

What is the problem in your opinion?

Exactly. What should be changed?

Good games always have a future. Could be one of future top adoption drivers and VC starting points.
