Also, just a few features I'd like to see since we don't hear from you all as often on telegram anymore.

- I think the feature that needs to be emphasized the most is the peer to peer nature of the exchange. I think it would be a cool addition if you could add people as friends, and send them bets directly to accept or decline. This would make it much more interactive for friends to enjoy, and thus, spread that much more virally.  And, it could become one of those things where people's casual bets that they never follow through with would be enforced on the blockchain. So you could never say "oh well we never shook on it so it doesn't count."

- Much like the bitshares system, Bookie needs a dollar-stable currency.  I think a ppyUSD would be a great way for newbies to mitigate their risk of using the ppy system and remove the volatility, while allowing those of us who believe deeply in the project to shoulder that risk/reward by creating ppyUSD. I don't think the cryptocurrency world will adopt a good betting platform unless this is an added feature. The casual bettor just wont accept betting $5, winning, and then getting $5 back because the cryptomarket tanked like it is now. I'm guessing this should be a relatively easy addition, considering ppy's roots in bitshares/graphene. I have said this before, but have never heard back on how/if this will be implemented, but I think it would be a very strong selling point to potential users.

I may chime in with other features if/when I think of them, but thanks for your time.

I'd love to see some support for the masters. Its in early April, so it should be right after bookie release.  Plenty of my acquaintances love betting on it, but it isn't a simple binary outcome like many sporting events would be.

Hey bitcointalk!
   I'm running to be a witness for Peerplays! I have sent out my campaign to reddit and steemit, but I thought y'all would like to know about my witness node as well.

   If you want to take a look at my full campaign post, please go to https://steemit.com/@jburr-witness. The first post is my original campaign notice. I won't go into full detail here, but I will highlight the things that make me different from other witnesses.

1. Profit sharing: I will be sharing 5% of the ppy earned through the "sweeps" app (a lottery-like app that will be supported on the Peerplays blockchain).  Entries into this lottery will be based on the voting power that is directed toward my witness.  The more you vote for me, the greater chance you have of winning! No other Peerplays witness is doing this, and as far as I know, neither are they for steemit!

2. Escrow: I will escrow 60% of my ppy for 6 months from when it is generated to ensure that I will not flood the market. The more PPY held from exchanges, the more that each and every ppy is worth, so in effect this is making you profit as well!

3. I have enlisted a support team to make sure my witness is running 24/7 365. I realize that I cannot singlehandedly be looking after my witness all day everyday forever, and so I have gotten a support staff on-board that will be able to deal with any technical problems as soon as they occur. This should prevent anything more than the occasional couple of missed blocks.  Every problem will be dealt with promptly and transparently.

    If you have any other questions, please let me know and I will try to answer them.  And if you want to know how to vote, please see another steemit post of mine https://steemit.com/peerplays/@jburr-witness/current-voting-status-how-many-lottery-tickets-would-you-get. Included in this post is a detailed report of the current votes in favor of jburr-witness, so that you can get a feel for how much your ppy stake will comprise of the current voting power. Thank you for reading my rant, and have a great day!
