Lol, This idea was from a movie titled "nerve"? if so then this is something illegal in my opinion. Guys you should have to be careful about it,, I would like to state some scenario on the movie , at first dares were just for fun but in the long run it isn't.

Ok, looks like you missed a part of the post there....let me highlight it for you. --> " All Dares must be within the laws of your country { It

should be legal } and not be dangerous. { No serious injuries or Death please } " ...Get it?

The sites hosting these Dares, have their own rules {ToS} so you cannot post something illegal... You can even use Youtube.  ;)

Dares will not be accepted, if it is dangerous or if it is against the laws of the country hosting the material. Guys and Girls think about it, this

could be big, if it goes viral.  ;D

I remember that there was similar (but probably low budget) attempt at this. If the idea gets realised on a big scale, with a lot of investment and promotion,
this would be something that would spark people's attention both to the game and bitcoin.

Sadly, most investors and operators are more interested in opening yet another same dull dice site than to try something really interesting like this..

This should be an entertaiment live i think, for example makes it like twitch, people have their own channel. Then the system payment like your own.
It's need hard work to promote. maybe the content for entertain is need to be more variant which it's not people do a dare, maybe something similiar but different.
Well this idea is interesting, since i've watch the movie then someone have crazy idea too :D

its been done before.. the main result turns into "shoe on head"

Any plans to actually try this out? How about starting a dare? Care to fund one? lol.
Would be fun to watch.  ;D ;D ;D Should start out fairly easy but interesting/funny.  :P


Where exactly? Links please.

You know it seems like a potential for all kinds of lawsuit issues as the people may not know they are breaking a law at the time.

What I find hilarious is how many people sign up for these team based scavenger hunts and fly around town in yellow,blue and red bibs.
It seems to be a team building exercise for companies and a way to bond fellow workers but I think bitcoin could come into play.
Hiding bitcoin QR codes through out town and the winners would obviously have the most codes. Only issues would be weather damage and theft,you figure those out and you could have games that could reset over and over with multiple stations. Like a live version of capture the flag.

I find this idea really interesting.I would love to watch the dares but isn't it kind of betting?How is it different like we put bet on a game of soccer etc?

I like the idea and because it didn't work in the past doesn't mean it cannot work now with different rules to the game.

Shoes on head is not really fun to pay for indeed, but someone vlogging his adventure would be pretty cool.

I can imagine something like climbing a mountain while streaming live. Pretty neat.

There is already a simple and effective service being developed right now with the new megaupload website. I think Kim Dotcom can move massive amounts of internet traffic and if he can get as much people on his website as he did with the original megaupload, then we are set because we'll go pretty much mainstream then. Well not mainstream but we'll get a big chunk of new people involved, since its a way to get paid and not only "pay with" (like steam)

Ok, So we need something daring and bold to take us to the Moon. This might just be it....

Let's call it BitDare or you can think of any other name, that sounds funky enough to make this work. The concept works like this :

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3531824/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1  { The Movie Nerve } https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2xdxlO3M4Y

Plot : A high school senior finds herself immersed in an online game of truth or dare, where her every move starts to become manipulated by an anonymous community of "watchers."

This would be our Bitcoin spin on this :

People suggest a Dare they want to see accomplished within a specific time period. They have to fund this request, if they want to see

someone taking on this Dare. { The bitcoin for this Dare are being held by a Escrow } We call these people the Funders.  

Then we have the Watchers... They pay a little fee to watch the Dare. {This could be streamed live via https://streamium.io/ or

http://onperiscope.com/ or pre-recorded and uploaded to a Pay-per-View Bitcoin service } These fees goes towards hosting fees and paying

the Escrow services.

It's too complicated to be done often or accepted by a larger number of users.

All Dares must be within the laws of your country { It should be legal } and not be dangerous. { No serious injuries or Death please }

The reward can be paid out, once the Funders are satisfied that the requirements for the dare was met.  ;)

So let's get cracking and take this thing to the Moon.  ;D

* Any examples of dares you would want to see.... ? Let's discuss ...  ;D

Thanks for the link.  :D

Well, I read the whole thread and yeah, it didn't pan out, but it's not quite what I had in mind. That was disappointing.
I was thinking maybe videos/live videos and a not so generic dare like a shoe on the head. But huh, showing ones face is actually daring. lol.  :P  

On the hand, I could just imagine the price of bitcoin at that time. throwing away several .5 BTC for a shoe on the head? wow.
And cleaning up some street gutter for 25 BTC? That's like $17,000 today.   :o :o :o

This is a bloody good idea, because the previous attempt < Shoe on the Head > was poorly funded and nobody knew about Bitcoin at the time. I already have a few ideas in mind with this, like someone farting in

a plastic bag and setting it on fire. < I have seen this being done through someones pants and it was hilarious > I can just imagine what will happen once people start paying for someone else to pull pranks on their

friends. People farting in lifts, just cracks me up, so I would definitely like to dare someone to do that. The Youtube videos are a bit fake. ^smile^ Just one question before I go, who decide if the dare or the prank

was done correctly? Votes or the person who is paying?

Not sure if you guys are familiar with the movie "13 - Game of Death." It's basically the same thing. He gets text messages of what to do and there's a bounty in every challenge that he accomplish. In the end, he found out that he's being watched by people around the world. I loved that movie, you should check it out. There's another good revelation in the end.

Nevertheless, this is still very interesting. I can imagine people going to crazy places just for a dare (e.g. abandoned places, obscure places like the woods, etc). Those would surely be thrilling. I personally would enjoy watching more videos like that. I just hope that those crazy 'viners' wouldn't invade this project. I also hope that the tasks in this game will be moderated. You don't want to be seeing boring tasks like "Buy me a pizza and deliver it to my address." etc.

maybe moderation can be done easily.
by making the dares cheap(pennies per payer). but allowing many people to crowd fund it to make the total a worthy bounty. thus if many dont like the dare it doesnt get much funding, thus no one bothers doing it. and after X days/weeks the pennies get refunded.

also it helps make people not need to self fund a large pot of funds, while also increasing the crowds (popularity) by again not asking much from 'the watchers'

I think there should be a 'voting' system and the points shouldn't depend solely on the funds that it receives. Using the funds as a voting system will be not that good sometimes. For example somebody creates a task that nobody else want but he has enough money to fund it, then his task will be accepted anyway. But you can also set a maximum amount of funds you can put in every task to solve that problem.

On a different thought (if that makes sense), how does games like this one gets funding and all that necessary stuff? I know that ICO does that by promoting and all, but I've never seen a game.

but having random voters who have no desire, no input into a boring dare shouldnt have a majority say. otherwise the majority of danger seekers will just vote everything as too boring to veto it and can escalate into only the thrill seeking dares. thus limit the choice and become a biased set of dares.
it either becomes pure boring dares of just shoe on head by those wanting 'christian safe' dares. or pure porn or pure stunt fails.. depending on people who cant even be arsed to pay to have a say.
eg "show boobs for BTC" ends up turning into a porn site if the majority of voters are single guys. who as you say are not gonna pay.

or become empty because everyone with different desires veto's each others dare they dont like.

i think having a maximum per payer and then crowdfunding it allows those who want it to vote for it with their small amounts. thus everyone wins.

I watch Twitch.tv a lot, recently I notices increasing number of live streams where streamer is in public place (restaurant, bar, mall etc.)
People watching the stream are giving instructions what they want streamer to do next (buy bigmac and fried and talk to that girl who is sitting at the next table, for example).
Form what I notices these type of show is becoming extremely popular and donation are flowing constantly. Incorporating bitcoin in something like this is actually not bad idea.

No, It's not gambling.... You are paying someone to do something, you want to see. There is NO gambling involved with this. The one party

offer their services and the other party pay them for that service. Let's say you had a shitty day, and you want to see something done that

would make you laugh... then you go to this site and you submit a dare or a challenge. To make sure you honour your promise to pay, the

payment is held by a Escrow... someone takes up this challenge and they do it... then the Escrow pay that person.  ;)

There are so many role players that would benefit from this :

~ Escrow services
~ Person doing the dare/challenge
~ Hosting site { pay-per-view or streaming site }
~ Income generated from Youtube views

Damn, this can work... I can already see the crazy stuff people would be doing and how many people would adopt Bitcoin, just to take part in

this.

I don’t know why but this reminds me a little bit of fiverr, but instead of people posting what are they willing to do for 5 dollars, people will post what they want to see for X amount of bitcoin.

There are a variety of cam girl sites that take bitcoin, how is this not already covered?
