lol what is the point of this poll.

Whats the difference in voting 'yes' or 'now'?

edit: e, that looks great! you could bring great additional experience to this project =)

Hi guys,

I played as an online professional poker player for 6 years to decent success. I'm also an electronic engineer with programming experience and coded the Dividends+ module for NxtServices/superNET. I'm going to be coding Pangea Poker.

There's very little done so far, mainly research and brainstorming ideas. We initially plan to release a heads up client (as an early alpha version) and expand from there.

I voted "now" that meant to deliver dividends NOW. 

Hi all. I'm 5KB, and run my own company, I'll be project lead/business developing/marketing and all things needed for Pangea. I partnered up with jl777, and also valarmg who completes on the things I can't do. to simplify, when I bring the business side, valarmg brings the poker side, in between we meet to create the best product for both the player and the shareholder.

I looked for a GUI developer for the project for about a month, good GUI developers are surprisingly hard to find, and finally found Hobofife, who will do the GUI, he started earlier this month.

I wanted to create something of value within crypto, but never a coin, since I see the market for services as very untapped within crypto, since each time someone has an idea they want to make a coin out of it! so when discussing and becoming interested about decentralized poker, I found that the subject has been around for over a decade, one big problem was how money should be handled, amongst other things. since they didn't have blockchain technology back then, the solution is found here, and with good developers like jl777 and valarmg, we can accomplish it, then make a killer app out of it, enjoyable to play, and in a decentralized structure costs can be held down compared to existing competitors, so it can reflect the rakes positively, allowing to draw in more players, also from countries where govs have clamped down on it. one important thing will be trying to get pokerplayers from outside crypto, to be able to play without having to learn about bitcoin, but that's getting ahead of ourselves!

Anyway, thats a little about me, if anyone feels like they want to contribute or have suggestions, critisism, you can find me in #pangea on supernet slack, or msg me on BCT or here, soon we'll have a little more GUI and other things to discuss and analyze, then I'd like to get as much feedback as possible to get the best possible product, and even if the tech behind it will be cool, bottom line is it has to cater to players, it should just be a easy enjoyable thing to play a couple rounds of poker, so best ways to do this is to adapt to what players want it to be.

also I saw someone inquiring about ETAs or details, soon there'll be a rough estimate once most things are in place and can be somewhat calculated, but I'll keep my lips sealed since we got christmas coming up, but we're transparent so if you stick in Pangea channel you can probably form a good opinion of when it'll be

so some first progress here, with the GUI made by Hobofife, let know what you think thus far, maybe shoot some feedback, personally I love it, the pangea symbol blends in perfectly with the table, although not sure about the avatars right, my reasoning for this maybe pick a set one or have a few of them since it'll be decentralized there's no way to monitor content, and wouldn't want someone using something disgusting as avatar, which can ruin for players around the table, what you think?

I really like how it looks, but i think everything else (fold call raise button, bet sizes in table, etc..) is needed  to make an opinion.

Happy to hear you like it thus far, and yeah you're right, we'll have more and more to discuss soon once the pieces starts falling more into place
