Hello all!

This is an update of the Edgeless project from 5/21 to 5/28. Please enjoy!

[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)

As of writing this article, the number of Edges has surpassed 160,000. New people are joining daily. It seems the platform has stabilized and is addictive enough! As of now there are only two games, Blackjack and Dice. If more games are added in the coming days, the popularity of the platform would increase even more.

[Number of Edgeless Transactions Per Day]

As can be seen above, the number of daily transactions is again elaved to 30-40 transactions per day. Some are sending large amount of Edges in a small number of transactions, while others are sending small number of Edges in large number of transactions.

[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 are there? Last week there were about 347 addresses. This the number has grown to 362. An increase of 15 new users. The number is growing. There would of course be people who have registered but have not sent any Edges. I believe there are more users ready to deploy their Edges. Considering that this is a truly global business and can attract people from all over the world, we are at the very very very initial stage of the business. Marketing efforts from the team is very crucial at this stage. If people can only taste what the Platform is like, they will continue to use this platform for sure. Keep up the good work Team.

[Top 100 Holders List]

I've started organizing this in Excel since 17th April this year.

Last week, one Edge investor who has tons of Edges (I am not exaggerating) sent his Edges to a private address. There are now less liquidity in Bittrex and Upbit. :)

No Top 100 holder has sold their Edges during the week before. Rather 2 people have added more Edges!

=================================

Last week, the Edgeless team named the Top 3 players. Juyeop who has won most Edges during the week 400 Edges as a prize. I think this shows the confidence that the team has in terms of profitability. This is also a good marketing from their part.

In private online gambling sites, there are many instances of having to wage more money to withdraw your existing money. In Edgeless platform, you can leave with your token anytime you want with no restrictions. With the addition of new games, the popularity of the platform will sure to increase. Just hope that the team will revamp their marketing efforts even further to secure this growth.

Hope I would be able to come with more good news next week!

So,
Why not try some games with your Edges today? :) They have Blackjack and Dice, with no house advantage. And it's fun.
