It's pretty surprising how strong the community is.  I'm not saying anything bad about the coin itself, but with one of the core features being "referrals" on the bloickchain, I would have expected a lot of pure garbage.

Happy to see real users that are actually positive about the project.

I think he will be re-elected for a couple keys reasons:

1) His base loves him.
2) He is resilient to controversy through his use of media redirection.  (He can do and say stuff that other presidents never could.. for some reason.)
3) He did actually lower taxes, so that will keep the fiscal conservatives with him.

His weaknesses/shortcomings (perceived or otherwise) are not probably not going be enough.

With that said, the democrats are obviously quite motivate now...

Ahhhh!  You beat me to it.  Nice work, "applesauced".  If you are going to troll another coin, at least try harder?

Yeah, I agree with you.  It is quite annoying when spammers pollute an otherwise useful thread.  

FWIW, I think that Merit may be the only credible DASH competitor I've seen so far.  Most new cryptos are not really trying to make crypto easier.  

Does the team have any plans to bring in big-name influencers like athletes, celebrities, etc? (I mentioned this topic earlier, but didn't really receive any response about it.)

I think it's an interesting idea, particularly because of the incentive structure here.

Has this project considers some kind of influencer arrangement?  I remember that some crypto used Dennis Rodman.  And another Steven Segal, I think.

This is the first time I have seen that an influencer approach might actually fit with the brand of the crypto.

There are dozens of new asset management platforms these days -- what is the core differentiator here?

What keeps people loyal, though?  Why not just switch from casino to casino?

This feels like a tough business to be in.  You pointed out some really interesting challenges yourself -- lots of competitors, easy switching costs.

With that said, think about how many social networks there are on the web.  (Or how many altcoins there are, haha!)

At the end of the day, it's going to come down to out-executing the competition.

This is an interesting idea!  A couple pieces of feedback:

There are some typos in the blackpaper.  (I like the idea of black, though!) 

On Page 4, for example: In the case if double-spend attempts prevented by a mechanism there will no more problem existed.

I think it might worth investing in having an editor look through the document; perhaps for a bounty?

My other main question is about the value of the "instantaneous" transactions.  Retailers today are already waiting ~30 days to receive their money in Fiat from Mastercard/Visa.  My suspicion would be that 10 minutes is not too long for them.

Do you think that this "instant" value proposition is mostly for the p2p user?

I'd be interested in helping you -- or maybe even buying/licensing the code.

My biggest concern/question/feedback is related to waiting a day to know if you win.  To me, betting games are more about instant gratification than anything else.

Is there a way you can make it provably fair, but faster payout?
