Edit - I'm the only one posting here to start, but we have others across the social media platforms. Our Telegram is the main place for info and discussion.

Wouldn't it be better for the team to appoint a CM to attend matters here? The forum is quite a gateway for crypto. With TG as the main place for info, although the information and discussion will happen simultaneously, it'll be rather "exclusive" as investors will need to have the specific link to the channel. Just my opinion, though.

Yep that's me, well one of the two on the community side currently. And yeah it's definitely quite a gateway with a long and sometime very interesting history here. I've been around for a rather long time, but I've tended to just read mostly. These days it feels as if much of crypto has shifted their presence outside of here to more mainstream platforms like Twitter though I suppose that's true for most of the old forums. I've made it a point to maintain an active presence here for GAMBL however, especially in these earliest stages.

Telegram is nice for quick back-and-forth communication, but we certainly don't mind having some discussions here also. I can get others on the team to speak up here on the topics that are in their domain, maybe some Q&A's at some point if/when there is demand for it. Particularly for Tippy as he can speak more definitively on the more technical details of the sportsbook side. Telegram link is on the site but I'll post here too - https://t.me/GAMBLCoin

Also forgot to mention earlier, there's really 3 main directions that a casino/sportsbook can take. First is far most common, just use btc or others for payments only but obviously centralization is an issue and history has already shown many times this isn't a long-term solution. Second is building atop a base layer like eth. As we saw with Augur and many other though, base layers can come with a lot of potential issues and in trying to do everything they end up being too inefficient or too impractical for many complex solutions.

That leaves tailoring a chain specifically to the gambling industry, which consumes much more time/resources and it can be a real pain to get up and running. But long-term it's the most practical, realistic, and efficient path. The industry is more than large enough to warrant it, just needs the proper structuring and incentives in order to do well. Even regulated sites have a ton of unethical issues and users are constantly left wanting something better, that has been our primary motivation to be honest. I'd much rather be governed by user consensus rather than the current status quo that only seems to get worse as more time passes.
