Thanks for the reply. Hive is definitely the front runner. It is probably the closest to perfect I have found. I've been playing a lot of Splinterlands lately too so I know it works fairly well haha.

Doing a custom network will extend the timeframe significantly for sure. It is definitely THE reason not to do it. And it is a good enough reason not to do it. I'd really like to finish the game in the next couple of years at most. That would most likely not happen adding in the custom network.

Probably would say there is about a 70% chance I'll be using Hive. 20% chance I go custom. 10% Iota. The rest are extremely unlikely, I just wanted to mention what I like about them. Hope you enjoy checking them out!
