the ONLY way is to build your own tool ENTIRELY
and have it run semi-decentralised, so that it can't be taken down (because its decentralised)
and you still have control over who can come in or not (hence, semi-decentralised)
@Dunkle How do you gain money from trading crypto (in the sense of how does it work)?
it all comes down to 'buy low sell high' in the end honestly
there's more to it then that, find cryptos that are undervalued, put money in, and wait for them to go up then sell
it's essentially no different from playing the stock market
If it's too decentralized, then you get issues in synchronous messaging... Lets say Alice, Bob, and Carl are in a chat room, it's completely decentralized so they each store the data for the chat history
but if alice and bob had a conversation, and neither are online, carl won't be able to retrieve that conversation's data
you could implement a decentralized blockchain, but then you have to incentivize people to host and compute all of those cryptographic messages, this is usually done with some kind of digital token
depends on the amount of users, your suggestion is countered by having a single accont that's online 'all the time'
if you want an experience like discord, then the only solution is to have a "single source of truth" (a central server)
having a chat thing on a blockchain is a terrible idea
you'd want the ability to purge anything
now, whether that can be like a minecraft server, where it's easy for users to just spool up, even keep it on a raspberry pi, that would be ideal
blockchain is antithetical to that
yeah
ideally you'd have a tor-like thing, a mesh-net within the internet
that you'd just have to verify into regularly
My thinking is to build a chat client, and also host a general chat server
but offer a free and open source server users can use in parallel to the default main server (that I'd be running)
to the end user, he won't know the difference looking at the list of "servers" he's subscribed to
that makes you the point of failure
the way I'd make money is by offering a "premium" version of the client
that's what discord already is
that's what any thing "in the cloud" already is
'the cloud' is synonymous with 'hosting it inside the CIA'

@Lorenzo are you talking about ebets?
im not sure it's fair to ban things like buying a loot box
people should be allowed to gamble if they want to
Not children
this is where i point out that cs:go is literally a M rated game
Don't sign if you don't agree
dont ask the government to take over parenting
(pls)
interestingly enough, the japanese government has set forth some pretty hefty regulations on games that do the random roll loot box/gacha style systems
im curious as to how familiar you are with exactly how gambling happens in csgo
i've only seen videos on it, I don't play myself.
ok
so the enabling factor on valve's end is literally the simple ability to trade skins with other players
