Bitcoin Forum

What are donations going to be used for? Multisig address was posted, so I assume converted to fiat and then what? Also, I don't think the concept will work - if the game gets decent volume, people will build bots to play the game, eventually turning it into a who can build a better bot contest/who can get lucky and find a legit player to wreck first. Also, if there isn't an edge, how will you make money?

it is gambling, where link?

The donations will be used to fund the development and server costs and anything else that is needed to launch the game, and for the bots i have taken that into consideration and will find away around this as it would be a game breaking issue if it were to take traction and for the edge the fee per game will be 1% off of the bet made and the fee will only be taken once the  current game has ended :)

completely eliminating any advantages a "house" would have usually have (1% etc).

A 1% fee taken by the house equates to a 0.5% house edge essentially, so it doesn't really solve the problem

What are your plans to promote and spread the word about this website?

Your concept sounds amazing and fun, but there are some kinks to work out.

What about bots playing the game to win easy money? Will there be a feature to combat this?

Also, in a PvP game you need players. How will you attract players?

Good luck!

Like i said above i have considered the fact that people will want to exploit the game by using bots which is why i'm planning on implementing an anti-bot feature, i plan on promoting and spreading the word by creating a bitcoin signature campaign as well as special events when the game launches and while the game is fairly new to promote use of my website :)

At the moment it will just be spaceships but we could in the future expand to other games where players can wager against each other :)

In my own opinion, instead of asking for funds that could easily be tagged as scam in which you might not even get, why not ask for skills instead. I believe this will help and the little you've gathered can be used for the acquisition of what the skill can cover... My opinion though..,

It could easily be tagged as a scam which is understandable but i have already asked and received some skilled people to help me with this project currently i have two developers (one front-end one back-end) and am only asking for enough funds to help cover the server costs and other things such as marketing, legal etc

Skill games like this are extremely difficult to put together due to the bot issues. 3 BTC isn't nearly enough, you mentioned legal so I assume you want to incorporate? Thats already most of your budget. It would also take more than a month to develop. You are either scamming, or you have no idea what you are doing, either way people should avoid funding this.

Well, Op didn't present any solid info, beside his claim that he will build a great game and he want us to pay for it.
There is no detailed concept, no screens, only his word that he started working on it. I think I need a lot more to believe that this is something worth donating to.

I think you should put investment for this project and not donation I think not a lot of people will give you bitcoin just to fund a in progress mode PVP gambling game that they don't know if this will work or not and how much will be the reward or is it gonna be a simultaneous reward, like if someone will give you bitcoin as an investment for them then I think he will have a shares regarding the income of your gambling site, I think that would be the best way to encourage someone to invest for the development of your game!

I was wondering when someone would step up and make something like this. I'm not a dev or programmer so I couldn't do it but it is nice to see others thing like me too. This is great and beats those silly other gambling games. This wouldn't be gambling it would be skill. A change to win money playing games and when I say games i mean games not the misleading games they call gambling. Gambling is not games , games are fun gambling is boring. I can't wait.

Os the bot issue already fix? This will be the cause of major problems of pvp games. I suggest to give a weekly update about the progress of your program. And please provide a sample pictures of your work so that it will be worthy to donate. ;)

I agree with you on this, even the big games we are seeing today, its as a result of someone's dream which came into fruition through various efforts, some could not even get in to fruition because of factors beyond control in addition to lack of encouragement but I say let's wait for this and I believe its definitely happening...

I;m looking forward to seeing what this turns into for sure.

Also will you only be 1 pvp game or is your plan to release more?

We plan to implement a community polling feature where many players can submit features they would like to see and other players can vote on which feature they would like to see and we will pick 5 features with the most votes and implement them every two weeks :) but as of right now the release will only contain 1 v 1

Also will you only be 1 pvp game or is your plan to release more?

First let him release this one game he told us about in the op. There is a long  way to go from concept and early stage of development to working product.
Furthermore, bitcoin, or in general gambling PvP systems are not that popular - with exception of course of card games, like all Poker variants.

First focus and create a working beta version, then expand it. You have to realize that you won't have perfect game right away.

We have taken into consideration that this may not be very popular which is why the game will be suited to everyone not just one target audience

Like i've said above we have considered the botting issues and are currently finding ways to stop it, 3BTC is enough as i have already recruited developers and dealt with legal matters. As for the development i said an alpha will be available in a month which will not have bitcoin support as i want people to first come and test the site and get a feel for it and find any bugs that can be fixed as well as create a bit of hype for launch :)

In Regards to all of your replies we have successfully funded the website, I will change the donation amount to something lower as we have recently gotten funded and any donations are very much appreciated and we will have screenshots and progress up in the next week or two as we are currently in the process of some legal work. :)

Well that is great if somebody funded your project to progress and a gambling sites such as these needs big money to establish and yes there are legal term that need to be filed and I am guessing bigger amount of money needed with that filling, well looking forward when the time comes and these sites progress!
