Bitcoin Forum

I have plenty of capital, looking for a partner with a unique idea to develop. Open to any ideas that will slowly or quickly accumulate BTC.

Something other than faucet/exchange/dice site...

A real huge 3D game. If you want to help bitcoin to grow instead of only making profit then you should make a game about BTC and add it to Google Play , It definitely require some funding and time to make a successful game. Ads should suffice to earn income If its really good.
If you don't want to do that then you could build a game but target only bitcoin users and pay them btc while playing which is more simple and require less time and funding then the first idea and the income should be from ads too.

I like the idea of a mobile game that pays BTC but I would need a good app developer that also has the knowledge to integrate automatic BTC payouts...

The obvious alternative is porn. But I doubt it will work, unless you aim specificly at current Bitcoin users. And even then there are much more people who own a creditcard. You run into this problem for most applications. I'd like to see the big Chinese webshops accessible through Bitcoin, but the market is just too small to be worth it.
Another alternative, but they exist already, is a payment processor. This takes the hassle from the webshop, and allows the customer to pay with Bitcoins. You could argue this is an exchange, which you don't want.

Chopcoin tried to make a "Bitcoin agar", and although Agar itself is very popular, the userbase is just too small. Games will have that problem too. Unless it's turns out to be really big, in which case you're doing yourself short by limiting it to Bitcoin.

If you indeed have the money for the project as you claim then finding talented game developers and not app developers shouldn't be an issue. I suggest checking Freelancer (https://www.freelancer.com/) , paying using BTC is not an option but the people there are the best in the industry.

Well it is being done already, just have a look at this site ----> http://www.augmentorsgame.com/ .... I like these guys concept, and I think

it will be huge, but there are other genre that might also work. I think 3D strategy games, based on games like StarCraft would work much

better. You have more scope for more units to be upgraded and personalized.  ;) .... Check out that game... it's going to be ground breaking

work in that scene.  ;)

That is pretty interesting indeed.. Would cost a fortune to hire a team to start competing with developments like that though.. Ideally id like to keep the budget around 10 BTC to get some small consistent passive income flowing in, does not have to be a get rich quick scheme.

Who has the skills to build a crypto exchange like changelly?

How if to support in APP store or Google store?
I think if you can make an application with support daily activities it'll required of all humans. And it would also push up the price and popularity of bitcoin. And of course it will produce many benefits for developers who are doing it.  ;)

I have been looking for some similar projects to invest about 10BTC in each myself.  One I have been trying to get the numbers worked out for is a solar powered mining rig.  I am comfortable with the first block paying 12.5BTC to cover my investment.  Any blocks solved after the first, would be mostly profit.  Its been a little tough getting the research completed to see if this is even worthwhile, but I'm still working on it.  I'll happily share the information if this is something you would be interested in too, but it may take a little while for me to complete it.

So basically you want to sit on the throne with all the capital you have without contributing anything to the project but the capital ? I know capital is the most important part but would lead you no where if you can't lead.Id love to see an open source marketplace which covers up all the cons made by openbazaar.Decentralised especially with exchange of  bitcoins as its primary niche.

It is highly unlikely you would be able to find a full block without being in a shared pool... Solar technology is still not that great and any type of rig would make minimal profit at best.. Mining is something I did 4 years ago, I do not think it is worth it anymore.

Do you guys think another crypto conversion site such as shapeshift or changelly could be profitable with good marketing? I have the devs that could build a nice looking platform pretty quickly. Anyone interested in some type of partnership? I'm sure I could use lots of help with various tasks such as marketing.

So what about a news agency with a free market attached to it??? This would be pretty interesting, it would be a place where crypto enthusiasts could get the latest news and they would also be able to trade or sell their own goods. You could also add sports betting and casino games. I know that there is a lot of crypto news agencies but it is still a very profitable business to invest on

If you have an idea already in mind then just make a thread on the services section asking for developers because If you keep posting here you may end up having all kind of P.M from scammers most likely and I'm saying this because of your low rank , If you find someone then use an escrow until the development of the game/app/web is finished.

Every project if you have good at management and the marketing, especially, it will be bigger, build such an exchange also need to build an expert developer, especially in security sector and what the idea you want to build is must be unique than a platform which have been already exist.

If you need graphic designer, just shoot me with PM.

I started a thread here describing my Bitcoin-only startup.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1738377.0
The potential market are the sites without monetization systems (80%) w3techs.com/technologies/overview/advertising/all
Dual goals - provide them a better, more lucrative system to earn money from their web traffic
                  - teach and earn Bitcoin

Don't anticipate the need for too much capital but could use some to hire better programmers, offer beta testers "bounty" to test and prove concept.

Is 90% coded.

PM sent. :)

Tshirt shop that allows btc purchases, meme shirts these days sell well.
A version of theme forest that allows people to buy with btc.
Faucet plugin for wordpress that you could sell on theme forest or something.
Antminer reseller if you got enough money but you would need to have some contact in china.
Anything you can do with normal sites you can do by adding btc.

It is interesting how - by the mere claim of wealth - people start spinning (probably in the hope to get their share).


Define "plenty", for this defines if partnership with you is worth a consideration.
10BTC... so two man-months of R&D, or 1 month R&D and some marketing
or 14 days of R&D some marketing and some infrastructure.

Good luck.

Also, do not forget that VCs these days do not simply offer "money", but "smart money".

Hey j753k,

I'm working on a game with Bitcoin as a currency and more, I will be doing a kickstarter round in a bit.  I got about $6k in donations on Steemit as well. PM me here or on Twitter if you want to connect and discuss.

You can join me on my goldfarming business.

I buy/sell virtual currencies in games and flip them for a large profit. Everything is automated in the buy/selling process.

Pm me if you want more details

My friend is a game developer that uses Unity to create application. He is the creator of "Spacey Birds Bitcoin Adventure (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.emg.spaceythebird&hl=en)" , an Android game that pay users to play. He is currently working on a 3D multiplayer tanks battle game that works both on the Web (with WebGL - no download) and Android. The game will be free to play and let users earn Bitcoin while playing. The revenues will be from advertisements as far as I am aware and he will take a portion of it.

Both of us also started an online pay to post forums (http://thebitzone.com) early this month. Unlike other forums, instead of giving a specific amount of Satoshi per post. We give shares which will then be converted to Satoshi using a fair and simple Math formula. Too bad, we already have our funding, if not we may approach you.

Anyway, in case you are interested in funding his multiplayer tank battle game, you can check out his topic at "MultiPlayer Tank Fighter Game [Mobile + Web] (http://thebitzone.com/Thread-MultiPlayer-Tank-Fighter-Game-Mobile-Web-Bitcoin-Integration)". He also have another ongoing game project and that is "An Environmental Game to Save Earth and Earn Crypto (http://thebitzone.com/Thread-WIP-An-Environmental-Game-to-Save-Earth-and-Earn-Cytpo)".

Personally for me, I have some unique ideas (the TBZ Shares to TBZ Satoshi idea come from me) but none of them require excessive funding.

10 BTC will not get you very far unfortunately. This game was backed by a investor from the hit TV series... Shark Tank with a 56 BTC investment,

and then most of the work was already done at that stage. You might find a smaller project or even a decent script for a gambling site for that

kind of investment. {example :   https://www.softswiss.com/bitcoin-casino-solution/ }

If you need a good developer you could always seek one and you should post on services section on this forum and for sure there would be potential candidates and if you dont like then find on freelancing sites. Mobile game that pay bitcoin would be a good idea to have one since its still not famous or being used as an investment online.

Yup, a 3D game would be great!!!

Hi j753k,

I have come across a coin that could be very promising for you as it is in the early stages and ripe for investment. Solarflarecoin is an active community with lots of ideas in slack. They have recently had some issues but these were resolved very quickly which shows the commitment of the DEV and the community.

Check out http://solarflarecoin.us if you are interested.

They are listed on on two exchanges already and have active discussions with a community member who can help expand into the Chinese market. A Pool just for solarflarecoin has already been established with various other pools adding the coin.

They are trying to establish something different to whats on the market. Some of the community members have already "invested" not just time but BTC into getting this up and going. The Dev (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1747305.0;all) is very happy to discuss ideas especially in Slack. The coin is very new and the community are not looking for a Pump and dump.

They want this coin to grow slowly, although the market fluctuations has brought good profits to people (small volume: http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/solarflarecoin/) , it is just the volume they want to increase. They want a platform that is different and sustainable. Some projects are yet to be announced.

I invite you to check out SolarflareCoin (SFC) community (and chat with the Dev), if not to invest but to share some ideas about something other than faucet/exchange/dice site... It sounds like you have already placed thought into what you believe and should be different. SFC would like to list at more exchanges but have placed priority on adding real value to the coin and platform not yet seen.  They are currently establishing network stability but want to break out into the next phase. I welcome any feedback to the community.

I am not the Dev for SFC, but just a community member also trying to help out with something different.

We look forward to any ideas if not investment. :-)

I see that some users here presented interesting game concepts.

I was thrilled by that Space Pirate - Age of Rust idea but when I took a closer look it seems that this game will be text based RPG with occasional pictures.
Not exactly thrilling for modern audience. But you can easily tweak that concept and change it to look more like OGame https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OGame (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OGame)
This way its mediocre graphics won't be as noticeable and you crank up enjoyment and competitive feel. Bitcoin could be used as premium currency for boosting your progress.

Seems there many investment suggestions for the gaming industry. Whether it's because you love to play games or something else.
Making Serious Games project is the very complex task, and there is a lot of work. Just an idea about the type of games is not enough. I personally know one game-production company. They have more than 1000 people different abilities, artists, writers, managers, economists except all of the type programmers

I think a site like https://www.indiehackers.com/businesses in the bitcoin world would go well.

Interview all the sites who are making good money so other people can learn as well.

Mining coins but your actually playing simple games. Every developer would want their coin mined this way. Think of the amount of normies who would be introduced to Alt coins. The addiction levels would be enormous because they are actually earning something of value and of course the idea that some of those coins reach high value eventually...well. All the other ideas thrown at you are rubbish hahah  ;D

What cons have openbazaar?

Since you have a lot of capital as you mentioned well i think it is good to run a dice site since as you can see that game type is the most playable to the gamblers but think also that you have many competitors for running that since as you can see out here their are already a numerous site who got a great success and the only thing you need to do is to do some good advertisement for it aswell as you need to run a giveaways to caught some attention to the crowd.
