A boycott is game theoretically unstable. Those that lead them are nefarious players.
I have to make a lower level point here to make a higher level one so I will hope that there is a programmer here to argue and verify.
Cypher poker is the first object oriented programmed poker software.
Bitcoin introduced the concept of 'scarce objects'. Which cleverly takes care of the problem of copying digital items. There is a next evolution of scarce objects in which different parties or "players" can pass these objects and shuffle them, mask them, reveal them etc.
It HAS to be object orientated. Someone will say "Pokerstars et all ARE based on object orientated programming/code"
And then I will say "NO on those sites players do NOT pass the deck as an object to each other"
And then someone will say "Well then thats impossible"
Its not impossible. We have the code now. Its not a blockchain, its not a project where someone stands to profit. Its open source fully scarce object orientated poker.

Scarce objects are computational objects that like physical objects are finite and excludable, and force the client to either conserve or consume (use up) their own rights to use the object. References to scarce objects are bearer certificates with two key properties: (1) they are use-once or use-N-times tokens, and (2) like digital cash they are transferred using online clearing using "spent lists" to conserve the number of these scarce object references.
