does this include just the software and domain or also the costarican entity and the associated gaming license? also, what about the other domains/software (socketbot, etc)?

All software and projects are included (including socketpot).

It does not however include the Costa Rican company (I like the protection it provides, and would prefer to keep it to run bustabit and pevpot under that entity), but if someone was willing to pay an extra ~$2k USD (the cost of me setting up a new company) + the legal fees of transferring it, I would be happy with transferring it. Or could come to some arrangement where bustabit/pevpot continue to run under that entity.

Can you give information on the costs/expenses that MoneyPot incurs?

My hard-costs are about ~450 USD a month in hosting. If I tried, I could probably knock that down considerably, but as it stands most of that goes to high quality database hosting I run it with a beefy and replicated setup (even losing a few minutes worth of data, could be horrific)

Can you give information on how much MoneyPot (as a site) has earned over time? This is especially important because of the unique feature of having App devs (and having to pay them).

MoneyPot has only directly made about 35 BTC from commissions. (Although I personally made another 56 BTC on the original 100 BTC I seeded the bankroll with). Throughout most of MoneyPot's existence I've been waiving commissions (including right this moment) to either help developers or investors. Honestly, commissions have made relation between developers and investors very tricky. On one hand there's sites like JustDice which offers (amortized) 90% of the house edge to investors. And there's other sites like PrimeDice which offers (amortized) 100% of the house edge to the owners. So I'm in a tricky situation where often app developers look at a site like PrimeDice and complain about not making a higher cut, whilst at the same time investors look at a site like JustDice and complain about making too low of a cut.

My general solution for this has typically been to waive commissions, especially after big events (e.g. BetterBets got hacked, so I waived app commissions for a while). I've been fortunate to have a pretty decent source of income from bustabit (~50 btc/month) and always held a >= 20% stake in MoneyPot's bankroll, so I've had the luxury of delaying the question of the best way to monetize it.

Probably the nicest thing about owning the site, is that you have no counter-party risk (which is probably the biggest reason to not invest in bankrolls). So you're able to own a large percent of the bankroll without too much worry. With a 10% fee on investor profits, you can use that to own more-and-more of it.

Would you be willing to sell a portion of the site (so someone could buy say 10% of the site, but not the bankroll)?

Sorry, I'm really just looking to free up time.
