The server program and clients are not going out to you as source code

They probably should. (EDIT: The only good reason to conceal source code is that it contains vulnerabilities)

Use an SHA checksum or whatever to check the executable is legit.. but a decent system should not be scared of revealing source code, and should do so whenever possible. If errors are found, sweet [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] fix it!

I do not think it is an issue of the source code, but security of its application and IMO the need for robust security on the centeral server, hence the need for such a server.

Once you add in real money to the issue, you have additional issues of security, provention of minors participation, IP blocking of jurisdicitions, and the desire of some to address problem gamblers; you may agree as I do that some form of centeral server power is needed to be sucessful.


No Tuff don't have it recorded yet.
