Title: The Bitcoin Game
Post by: malefice on November 20, 2013, 12:29:33 PM
I'm thinking about making an game where people simulate the bitcoin system.
The benefit of this is that by playing it people learn about the inner workings of bitcoin.

For example there are miners that actually collect all the transactions, make a block out of it and then use a tool to calculate the zero leading hash.
If successful they publish it and other miner check it

The game could be played online at first with only an instruction set in a IRC (like a primitive board game) and later become a full fledged webgame.
Do you like the proposal? do you have any ideas?

Interesting, would a user be able to earn BTC by playing, like a faucet?

Something like that would make it alot more fun to play I would have to agree with dev on that.

It sure would, I wish Goldentowns had BTC incorporated into it instead of just gold and FIAT.

Martijnvdc: cool!!! I've started a Google docs document for the rules and stuff: http://goo.gl/XzdPfH

The hardest thing now to have a nice game flow, without being too complicated.
I started with the miners, they participate in a kind of lottery.

maybe we can have a hangout tomorrow evening to talk about it.

I think it will be a bit too technical for a broad market to accept.

Why not make a game, where you mine a block, like you mine a gold mine. The people look for these blocks under ground, in a FPS type scenario.

They compete for these blocks, by doing battles, when two persons, find the same block.  ;) --- Give us blood!
