According to you WP "Operators are considered as limited trust parties (only within the scope of DICE associated with the operator), and all other users are considered as untrustworthy parties". So, what you're building is a centralized database structure since "the DICE economy is not based on a blockchain. Instead, it consists of small clusters of Miners gathered around entities called Operators".
Care to clarify your the consensus and deployment methodologies as well as costs?
I'd love to hear the team answers about this.
On a side note: from their WP, it seems that they considered this model as true decentralization.
True Decentralisation
DICE lacks a single ledger present in the typical blockchain architecture. Instead, there are as many ledgers as there
are operators in the global ecosystem - some of them public, others private.
So, what was a result of pre-sale? How much funds team has collected? Because I can't find this information anywhere.
All of the tokens were sold-out (5 million). Check their answers on the Telegram group, there's someone that asked the same thing about this.
