poker is more difficult, because everyone has to trust that the game isn't rigged. Until someone figures out a way to do a decentralized poker game, it will be difficult to get people to play your cryptocoin poker game. Even if it is run fairly, how can you tell a fair game from an unfair one? I think it flopped because it seems like a scam and you can't provide assurances otherwise.. with the simple random dice games happening on the blockchain, at least everyone can see the game is fair.. (which is why people play it)

Makes it easier to get people to pester the appropriate representative.
The backdrop to the Assange case has been the upcoming presidential election in Ecuador, slated to be held just six months from now in February 2013. President Correa, who was first elected in 2007, will be seeking a second term under Ecuador's 2008 constitution.
Opinion polls published in the Ecuadorian media in 2012 have shown Correa with a commanding lead over his prospective opponents, largely because there is no consensus challenger. Polling from CMS in March showed Correa with just under 49% of the vote, more than 40 points ahead of the five included challengers, who polled between 1% and 9% each. Thiry percent of voters, however, said that they had not chosen a candidate to support. More recent polling has shown the emergence of Guillermo Lasso as the closest prospective candidate with 17% of the vote, while undecided voters fell to 17%. Correa held fast with 50% of the vote.
With a split field, Correa is practically guaranteed a win. Ecuadorian electoral law does not require the winning candidate to garner a majority of the popular vote; if a candidate receives at least 40% of the vote and is at least 10 points ahead of the next finisher, he or she wins in the first round.
