Think about this. It is exactly what we want and exactly who we want canvassing the players because Josem can perfectly speak our language. And it makes perfect sense that coinpoker should want to be connected with the community wants.

You should by any means protect them from being "butchered" by pros and/or "pros" who use any poker software during their session.
On the other hand security is a major thing of course, which cannot easily be achieved by a "changing ID's" scheme.
My ideal scenario would be "No changing ID's / ban huds / implement player notes "
These are terrible ideas and would kill the project. You have to cater to the regulars and pros and let these players grow the network. Huds do not kill the games and its ridiculous to consider banning them or proposing to. The only people that call for banning of huds are those that do not understand them.

I thought HUDs / Trackers were not going to be supported, but yet there's loads of talk of HH and datamining in these ideas.
You missed the crypto boom then but you will hear stories of pros, like perhaps doug poker who won millions in such games off of different opportunities. It is always necessary to compare the effective rake. If the games are super profitable why would you not want to play, just because you don't know your opponents name?

coinpoker has "chps" which is a finite token that the devs can set immutable controls on. Players need chps to play on the site and so there is a market value based on the demand. This means as a player you effectively hold shares in the company.
It is very different than a bitcoin poker site.
