Title: Play trustless rock paper scissors or RPSLS on the blockchain Post by: deliciousowl on August 29, 2014, 06:59:05 PM Have you guys seen this? It's peer-to-peer RPS and RPSLS on the Bitcoin blockchain. (and supports bets on the outcome).

I very much enjoy the big bang theory and always laugh whenever they mention this game. I see a lot of potential for a lot of people playing this as it is likely a lot more fun then simple dice games.

I think it would be nice to be able to explain how complex these coins are and something as simple as a rocks paper scissors game may be the example that makes a meaningful impression and sparks some interest. Thanks for sharing and I hope it catches on just like the original game.

I just try it, but they always say "No counterparty servers are currently available. Please try again later. ERROR: Request Time out." Personally i want to try, but too bad. I think this better than classic dice game ::) Title: Re: Play trustless rock paper scissors or RPSLS on the blockchain Post by: doof on August 31, 2014, 09:23:54 AM I was discussing this idea with a mate a few months ago.

(The devs are constantly working on it, really, like 24/7.. haha) Title: Re: Play trustless rock paper scissors or RPSLS on the blockchain Post by: Lauda on August 31, 2014, 01:44:43 PM I was discussing this idea with a mate a few months ago. Well you should have done it. This is great. I love the game, from whenever I saw it in that show. A lot of things can be done on/with the blockchain, people just need to let their imagination loose.

Well you should have done it. This is great. I love the game, from whenever I saw it in that show. A lot of things can be done on/with the blockchain, people just need to let their imagination loose. Especially feed based betting with full built-in escrow of the funds... I'm waiting for it to take off. Honestly. In Counterparty, anyone can create their own feed for the price of a BTC transaction fee, and anyone else can bet arbitrary XCP amounts which are stuck on the blockchain until the bet is resolved or expires. Example; "Will BTC go over $1000 this year? y=1 n=2" with a value of -1 (so it doesn't resolve a bet), and then you post on the same feed with the resolution of the bet at the end of the year (either 1 or 2) or if it reaches $1000. You can bet on ANYTHING this way. People just need to know that you are a reliable feed operator and wont report the wrong thing (you can charge a % fee for your services). CfDs are also supported, but there is a bug to iron out before they can go online again. On github, I suggested implementing betting on block hashes directly (trustfree) as well, without a feed! This may appeal to the people who find RPS to be too much of a hassle.. :) For example (I am in no way shape or form connected to these sites, but you can check that they are reliable directly on the blockchain :) http://blockscan.com ): http://betxcp.com http://xbet.io Title: Re: Play trustless rock paper scissors or RPSLS on the blockchain Post by: oceans on August 31, 2014, 06:46:34 PM This is actually an amazing idea and it's such a simple idea as well that I wonder why I and many others did not think of this. I see this becoming quite popular as well so kudos to the creator of this.
