Sure! This is the aspect I’ve spent the most time thinking on. 

Existing games with lightning integration work very well and they are reliable, but it requires some central entity running a lightning node to handle deposits, escrow, and withdrawals when the game is over. The big problem with this is legally that entity is considered the “host” effectively running in an unlicensed gambling operation. I set out with a goal of decentralizing further than that so no single person would be liable. Also this would remove a need for a rake of the game, as far as I’m concerned it could run on donations. 

Ecash offers some unique possibilities. Tokens can be transferred through any medium even offline. So I was envisioning a system where when you deposit your ecash tokens into the app, you receive chips and sit down to play. In the background your ecash tokens didn’t really go anywhere. They’re just represented as chips and then are transferred between seats as the game is played.

If this works out the way I imagine, there is no central repository holding funds for the game. The tokens are temporarily stored within the game while you play and then you can take them when you’re done or even leave them in your game wallet for next time
