Everything is peer2peer from what I understand. I'm not an expert but I've been reading up on block chain technology and it seems very promising. There are so many applications for it.
Okay, here is something to read up about.... you can start off the NVG crowdsourcing contribution to this effort:
1. How long does the ETH blockchain currently take to validate a transaction ?
2. Can the gameplay run on a side-chain, and would that minimize delay in the game, i.e. otherwise the game stays static every time a player makes a decision (which has to be communicated to all other players, active in a hand or not) for example ?
The poker market will require a solution better than chess-by-email speed.
