Hello all!
This is an update of the Edgeless project from 6/11 to 6/18. Edgeless project is growing as ever!
[Number of Edgeless Tokens Sent by Players]
Listed below is the address that is now being used to keep track of Edges sent to the platform to play.
When an Edgeless casino user sends his or her Edges to the ethereum address provided by the Edgeless team, the Edges arrive at the users' address and is subsequently sent to the address above. I believe that this is embedded in the smart contract of the addresses. I have used Excel spreadsheet to keep track of Edges sent and received from 18th of January, which is the official launch date of Edgeless platform. As can be seen in the diagram below, the number of Edges did not grow significantly even after the official launch. I believe that this was due to very rigid registration process which barred users from accesing the platform with ease. I think this was intentional as the gaming platform was at the very initial stage and needed further improvement before mass scale user adoption was possible.
The dark navy line represents the net number of Edges sent to the Edges platform. The red line number, the sum of transaction numbers.
2018-04-10: 50,027
2018-04-15: 63,516
2018-04-23: 73,486
2018-04-30: 82,713
2018-05-07: 88,953
2018-05-13: 103,729
2018-05-22: 121,425
2018-05-28: 160,226 (+38,801)
2018-06-4: 198,980 (+38,754)
2018-06-11: 222,624 (+23,644)
2018-06-18: 239,887 (+17,263)
As of writing this article, the number of Edges has neared 240,000. It did break 240,000 at a point, but some Edges were withdrawn from the Casino. The growth did slow a bit as of late. But with more good news coming from the Edgeless team, we are likely to see higher growth going forward. New players sent around 22,965 Edges (gross) while preexisting players sent 34,130 during the week. There's a good balance of old and new Edges flowing in.
[Number of Edgeless Transactions Per Day]
Daily transactions maintains around 20 transactions per day.
[Number of Players Using Edgeless Platform]
So, how many people are actually using the platform? I think that this is a question that many would like to know the answer to. If you take a look at the link at the top that shows Edges 'sent' to the platform, there are two addresses. The one on the left is the player's Edgeless addresses created within the platform. The one on the right is where all Edges are put together within the platform. If you count the number of addresses on the left, you can see the addresses which were created after a player goes through the KYC and creates an Edgeless address to play! That would also show the number of players registered. Because only registered users can create addresses to send Edges to.
So how many users are there? Last week there were about 387 addresses. The number has increased by 11 to 399! We are now on our way towards 500! The number is growing. Considering that last week was very bearish market, the growth is undaunted by marketing conditions.
[Top 100 Holders List]
I've started organizing this in Excel since 17th April this year.
Last week, one top 100 holder has moved their Edges to different addresses (probably to sell) while one address decreased the edges. One address increased Edges by 686,127 Edges! Some people are taking advantage of the bearish market to increase Edges holdings.
[Casino Bankroll]
https://etherscan.io/address/0x91f273b7a28f5169fd7b7995a54b767ca797bc63#readContract
This is a new section that I will be updating from now. The address shows how much Casino has won from Edges wagered by players. 1.>bankroll shows how much the Casino has won while 6.>playerBalance shows what the players have won. The more the Casino wins, the better for investors as there will be more pool for staking. On the other hand, the less the Casino wins, the better for gamers who use this Edgelesss platform. I started updating this from the beginning of June, thanks to Fred from telegram channel who shared this with us on the telegram. So how are things going?
2018-06-02 80,443 109,207 42.4%
2018-06-07 104,357 100,437 51.0%
2018-06-18 59,454 176,879 24.8%
On 7th of June, Casino Bankroll jumped to 104,357. That is 51% of all Edges sent to the platform (204,794) have been won by the Casino. As of 18th of June, the Casino Bankroll decreased to 59,454 meaning that players have WON A LOT from the casino! This shows how Edgeless platform increase odds for the players better than so many other Edge'full' Casinos out there. This is truly a great news players who can wager based on their skill and luck only! I think this is revolutionary. :)
=================================
Hope I would be able to come with more good news next week!
Actually, we have good news coming up this week. We will get a whole new interface, two more games and more statistics. It is again time for me to say,
So,
Why not try some games with your Edges today? :) They have Blackjack and Dice, with no house advantage. And it's fun.
