I am happy to see at least one ANN thread that isn't full of bots (or low-paid spammer humans, not sure). Just wanted to say that. Seems like real questions and answers here.

I'm sure this gets asked a lot -- but why do freelancers need another currency other than Bitcoin? I'm trying to figure out what the feature advantages are that make this worth it. I like the MN's of course. But there are a lot of masternode coins out there. Anyway, if this was already asked, sorry about that!

I didn't realize there was a dashboard that lets you visualize the network. Is this an official Merit project? I didn't see it in the ANN. Yes, https://dashboard.merit.me/ and everything on it (including the star chart) is part of the official Merit project. It's inspired by the block stats explorer project developed my disifi (https://merit.disifi.com/). Then this should totally be in the ANN -- it looks really good, and helps make the project feel more legitimate.

Is that star-chart visualization of the network based on actual data, or is it some kind of estimate, vague approximation, or projection? Hey guys -- no one answered my question That visualization is really impressive, but I would like to know where it came from and if it is backed by real data. Hey! I was able to reply- check out page 3. Sorry it got lost in the invite spam. PM me if you want more details about the visual. Oops -- my mistake. You are right.

Hey all! I am an avid student of business, and a long-time bitcoin holder. One thing I have noticed on this forum and in the bitcoin community more broadly is the presence of many "Bitcoin Casinos." (I'm including all crypto here; not just bitcoin.) Many, though not all, seem to be provably fair. I'm curious to know -- how good of a business are these casinos? I'd really love to hear from folks who have actually run or experimented with such sites! Here are some initial thoughts and questions that strike me: * It seems that there are a number of these businesses; how does one get a competitive advantage over others? * It seems like switching costs for the user are pretty low. Combining this with the above makes me wonder how challenging they are together. * Are there network effects with these businesses? In other words, does it matter how many other people are playing at the casino I am playing at? (If I'm playing against the house.) * At what volume does it actually make sense to run one of these? (I'm sure this is a context-dependent answer - would love to hear perspectives!) * I see a number of scripts available for sale. Does anyone in the business actual buy these, or do people just do their own custom development? Thanks in advance for insights and opinions!
