Hello Demo, I already answered ec1wardc1 comment on Dash Central, will type it here again:
"Hello Edward ! We understand your concern and it is a valid one. We wish there was a way to do this in a completely trustless way, however that's not possible. It's important to mention that this service...
Hello GrandMasterDash:
1) Venezuelan phone numbers are relatively short, people can easily copy/paste them easily, but they are also used for so many services that people are extremely good at telling them to each other verbally and to listen to them verbally, there's a sort of a rythm to the...
**UPDATE REGARDING SECURITY**
Seeing the overwhelming response of the community regarding security, we have decided that we can do more. We are in talks with a respected cyber-security firm who will be tasked to supervise the setting up of the project, and will try to break its security in...
From a legal standpoint there is probably a big difference between handling funds in your own severs versus paying a 3rd party to do so, even tho you have API keys to effectively handle the funds. However in venezuela you only need a license if you're an exchange, even if we were running our own...
Teaching people about Dash using games is a great idea, Trivia games are some of the most entertaining games as well, wish you all the success with this project, and I can't wait to play it myself!

-Hello GrandmMasterDash! Phone companies can block a phone number and re-enable it on a new phone in both dumb phones and smartphones. Regarding the hacking, these are wallets made for casual use, we see no incentive for a hacker to go thru all the trouble to hack a wallet that will probably...
