SwC Poker takes an attitude similar to Satoshi when he built Bitcoin. We will write software ourselves so we don't need to trust outside sources.

But you rented the Mavens software and then bought the Grid software. You didn't write either of those. Your entire history as a site has been trusting outside sources.

I for one think that its a huge mistake for small (even medium) sized companies undergoing proprietary software development. What is the point?

Online poker has been around for almost 20 years. There are thousands of software providers for poker for reasonable prices and have been upgraded, and debugged hundreds of times. By all means if you have features you'd like to add, its always good having your own dev team for small projects, and UI/designers to make your brand unique. But to develop a software from scratch? Hope you got a lot of money, time and patience for that. I don't see the point.

UNLESS - you are doing something completely different! Like a provably fair poker room or casino, or a new game. Something that would require you to start from scratch. However, from what Ive seen on SWC there is nothing unique about the software, its not bad, just def. not unique.

Hope the problems get sorted out. I wasn't affected by the recent rake issue, but I do jump on their from time to time for a little HU or tourneys.
