He's a simulation. He said it himself, and I believe him.

But there is no team. Just some guy who's copy&pasting code from other github repositories and who's hoping that it will somehow compile. And of course there's a lot of "re-designing" aka changing css styles in the QT wallet to make it look like there's progress.

Are you sure you are in the right forum and weren't looking to join Scientology or the Ashtar Sheran Command? Have some dignity.

Do your parents know what you are doing here?

The book you are looking for is "When Prophecy Fails: A Social and Psychological Study of a Modern Group That Predicted the Destruction of the World".

That is not really the problem here. This project is not about building the next generation poker room. They know very well about the state of the online poker business and that opening a poker room now is burning money. It's about creating a coin with a halfway reasonable looking product behind it. Tony G and some mid- to c-level managers who used to work in the dying poker business simply want their own altcoin train - for some of them the last chance to get rich before getting too old. Nothing wrong with that. A lot of people from the poker business are doing stuff like that nowadays.

This collides directly with the requirements you have to meet for legally offering your services in the UK, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, .... And what about Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Germany? And China (read that with Trump's voice) and South Korea? You cannot have anonymous users. Mandatory kyc procedures, up to a point in some countries where your users have to provide bank details within a few days after registering, do not become optional by simply saying "blockchain". In reality they will have to run a few servers with a few databases and file storages and those will hold addresses, real names, telephone numbers, passport copies, deposit and withdrawal histories and what else is required by the issuer of their gambling license(s).

My conclusion: The concept makes no sense. What is proposed in the whitepaper is a boring and outdated boilerplate poker room that on top will be regarded as an illegal gambling operation in most parts of the world unless they do not plan to offer their services in most parts of the world. No recreational player will join that. And without a constant supply of recreational money no 2+2 shark will join. Another case of a product that wouldn't survive in the real world but by making it "crypto" it magically turns into something the world is waiting for.

From the 2+2 thread. Pure gold. Good luck with getting a license that will allow us-american players to play in a non-ringfenced poker room. Or for a start: good luck with getting any license to offer your services in the USA. Shouldn't your advisers tell you about this? You can also ask the Breakout Gaming guys or any other operator how the USA thing works.

From the whitepaper. Reality has some issues with these statements. Nobody in the business believes that there will be a "strong growth going forward". The online gaming market is indeed growing but that is due to casino, daily fantasysport, sportsbet and attempts to get a hold in the e-sport market. The poker market is shrinking for years and will continue to do so. Operators are either closing down their poker room or they modify their game offering to turn the classic poker game into a slot machine. You want to make a profit with standard Texas Hold'em cash games and tournaments and random loyalty rewards that are not based on contributed rake... That's your "innovation" for a dying business? Well, you always can make it "crypto" and hope nobody realizes how outdated your business model is.

Go to reddit, bitcointalk, telegram and tell people that you bought in at a price that's significantly lower than the current price. Also tell them how much you enjoy buying all the cheap coins and how much you believe in the potential of the technology.
Post a bitcoin chart of april or december 2013 and tell people that the current drop is perfectly normal for a cryptocurrency.

Coin dieded:
Tell people that you bought in months ago or got the coins for free and sold before the dump because you saw it coming.
Move on to the next coin.

thank you. 

the wikipedia article was updated. the "It is widely regarded as a scam coin" sentence was removed and this sentence added: "On April 22, 2015 in accordance with the original airdrop plan, the unclaimed pre-mined coins were verifiably 'burned' or made inaccessible by being sent to the address AURburnAURburnAURburnAURburn7eS4Rf."

another two years until somebody can finally tell the "stupid masses" what bitcoin is good for and why they need it?

another motivational post of a desperate bagholder. these evil companies trying to do something useful with bitcoin are getting rich while his bag's value decreases on a weekly basis. that's just not fair. the bag was supposed to sit there and quadrimillionuple in value every 5 seconds. 

was already confirmed several times that he is in prison for molesting his neighbour's underage son.

welcome to his ignore list.
