We are not claim or promote that CoinPoker is full decentralized poker site. As an opposite, our statements such: semi-decentralized or hybrid model are presented.

We are not claiming that CoinPoker solves all centralized server problems. But we are here to start solving them.
So, yet again - CoinPoker is not fully decentralized, at least for now.
At the moment decentralized model is not realistic for some reasons: transactions cost and current speed of them doesn't allow to make decent playable full decentralized poker.

Finding bots would be a composition of various actions and findings, using tools we described in whitepaper, at section: 1.6. Fairplay (fairblock) program and initiatives.
CoinPoker will not use decentralized transactions for it's game play, so bots will be stopped.

The first concerns were whether random number
generators (RNG) are truly random or could be exploited. Until now, this has never been fully resolved and
remains an area of distrust.

In our case software shouldn't be open source in order to check RNG transparency validation. On the other hand open source software would be a enormous help for bots creation.
