@factoidforrest Every time I look for a Ropsten faucet the ones I used to use are gone and new ones have popped up. :-) I haven't tried in quite awhile.

@ImAllInNow This looks to be the actual issue. Interestingly enough, it links to a blog post I wrote. :-)

@ImAllInNow Out of gas rarely means there was actually not enough gas. It usually just means the transaction failed for some reason (e.g. one of the `require` statements failed).

@ImAllInNow Yeah, I'm surely missing context here since I haven't heard of FTX. But generally, I don't understand what poker has to do with this except as one example of a reason someone might want to borrow cash against another asset.

@ImAllInNow I don't get this... no reason you have to make a long-term borrow and watch the ETH price. You could just borrow for a few days for a tournament.

@ImAllInNow Not sure what gas fees are like these days. But you'd have to pay SOMEONE to escrow money, handle payments, etc. Not sure whether Ethereum is cheaper or not than other middlemen would be.

@ImAllInNow I don't think this is specific to poker, and it's already solved? It's pretty easy on Ethereum to borrow a stablecoin by putting up ether as collateral. Search "DeFi lending." All on-chain with smart contracts, so fairly low cost (but the loans are heavily overcollateralized).

@hubbersnaks Is this a question about Capture the Ether? Pop open the console if it's still happening... my guess would be hitting the daily Infura limit?
