Title: Gambling + Ripple
Post by: Bargheimer on May 11, 2013, 03:29:11 PM
Hi.
I'm the developer of The Biggest Fish (http://polimedia.us/trilema/2012/the-biggest-fish-pretty-cool-javascript-game/).
I'm thinking of relaunching. Would anyone pay in XRP for it?
I'm asking because Ripple is considered a scam by a lot of bitcoiners.

as a huge supporter of TBF, I really hope you turn it on for btc again & buy a domain for it. 

You had a great thing going, IMO keep it going, host it forever somewhere, keep improving it. 

IMO huge error to use a non-btc crypto to run it...

Make it BTC or LTC.

Pftt.. Someone not knowing the network effect. Walk into a mall, how many different type of currencies do they accept? Why just one, and why it will be one?

Judging by the link, it seems really hard to know its provably fair? I assume you got that sorted though?

Cool concept though.

It's not SatoshiDice where each bite could be checked against the blockchain. If you have an idea how to prove the fairness of a bite, let me know.

It's possible. For your random function, just add a page where people can enter an arbitrary string, and the random number generation hashes the last arbitrary string entered plus one server secret per day.

It's not very user friendly.

Now might be the right time for a ripple gambling site, as everyone is trying to get rid of their ripples as fast as they can :). Why not gamble them. Plus they still have some value...

Yes, they do. I have just traded XRP received in Ripple Giveaway thread for BTC.
