Title: Coin Battles - Open source P2P voting app for the Bitcoin blockchain.
Post by: joey.rich on July 05, 2016, 09:33:56 PM
Coin Battles, previously branded "EmpireCoin", is an open source P2P application which enables trustless voting on the blockchain.  In coin battles, players cast votes on the blockchain by moving coins between their own addresses.

This open source web application allows anyone to define their own protocol (aka "game") & deploy it to a blockchain such as Bitcoin.

In coin battles, players can vote on more than one option.  Stakeholders receive voting rights proportional to the coins that they hold.  This protocol also supports voting based on coin age: (ie votes = "coin blocks" or coin days destroyed). 

This idea has many applications such as:
 - Deterministic voting games
 - Parimutuel prediction markets
 - Decentralized decision making (DAO)
 - In-game sports betting

Coin battles may be defined with several different types of inflation: no inflation, linear inflation, or exponential inflation.  Currently, this project fully implements the deterministic voting application. In these games, an exponential inflation model is used and payouts are made to stakeholders by gamified proof of stake.

Software development & marketing expertise is sought from the community to make this project a success.
