That is very distant to a conversation.
We seem to have different opinions of what building a poker room for Hive is.
I have no ambition to promote someone else's project that is not poker.
I looked in at Kryptogamers No poker. This site is purely for gambling where no one wins but the house,
I mentioned Kryptogamers to get your view if they can be the site trusted with the funds etc.
I'm aware that Kryptogamers doesn't have poker right now. I've been in touch with them about this feature and last I heard, they're looking into developing it.
My opinion would be a gambling site main priority is to take in Crypto not pay it out, Even if they did begin to host poker. I would not trust the integrity of the game.
Gambling sites are built from greed.
Cheating becomes rampant on poker when people have the opportunity to do so.
How well do you trust those who host kryptogames.
Well, as you say it is a gambling site, so I wouldn't say I trust them 100%.
But since I proposed the poker to them and have brought a lot of ideas to the team of Kryptogamers, so I am pretty sure that there will be no greed in on the poker feature due to the setup of this.
Okay . Cheating as opposed to greed. Who will monitor who sees what in a game. There has been more than one BIG poker room that has been caught cheating. I think the first to be highlighted was absolute poker.
Insiders playing the game with no chance of losing. Some accountability was held there. If I remember right Pokerstars helped those who had been ripped.
On a much smaller site. What is your guarantee this will not happen. IF you cannot give assurances here. Then any site you might choose is the wrong one.
What I suggested was tournaments and sit and go's. No cash game.
All players must be invited for entry. Buy-in will have a small fee for the host-site and maybe for the person arranging the tournament. Fee for site is fixed (either 100% fixed amount or percantage). I didn't think much about the fee for host-person, so I have no answer as to what that would be.
It would also be possible to host freerolls, also with invitation. Host will pay a small fee for this tournament.
For both freerolls and buy-in tournaments would be the option for participating players to add to the prizepool by donating. No fee on this.
In my opinion, this should eliminate cheating. There may be a few things that will enable cheat, but I believe this is a strong starting point regardless of what site it is hosted on. Still has to be a trusted site though.
