I'm not sure what 100 mc = 1 BTC/NMC means, since bitcoins are different from namecoins, and the ratio of them isn't a meaningful store of value . . .
That means that 1 BTC = mooncoins (bitcoin mooncoins) or 1 NMC = 100 mooncoins (namecoin mooncoins). They are segregated throughout the whole site and you maintain two different balances. The idea about the * 100 is to make it easier to bet if you have smaller amounts of coins. Two different currencies with the same name seems needlessly confusing to me. You already have an exchange on the site, so why not consolidate into one currency: make 1 mooncoin = 1 USD? Then anyone betting on your site is not ALSO betting on the value of an e-currency rising. Best of luck to you . . . Interesting idea but I have no intention of starting my own currency. I will try to make it more clear throughout the site. Thanks for the feedback. Maybe I'll call them bitchips and namechips. |

Well I found a third party tool to pull battlenet data, sc2ranks. There currently is no perl wrapper for the api so I would have to write one but I could probably do rudimentary implementation for the time being with basic link generation to user profiles (and then later work on aggregating the data and use it in user profiles).
Thankfully steam already has an api so if this type of betting does start to take off we could track players via their purchased steam/bnet accounts rather then their mooncoin accounts which would give much better accountability. If someone had a bad honesty record they would have to buy new copies of the game to reset rather then just make a new account on moonco.in.
Ill get this going on the dev server and see how it works.

is there a rating system panned possibly ? like feedback type idea possibly for skill games to discourage that type of behavior maybe ? (grandmaster playing as platinum level ? )
no worries thanks for the response very appreciated, i think your site is a fantastic idea
^_^
I currently do have the barebones of a rating system, I do track the reliability of a players report. So a record of honesty is created, it is just not yet made public to other users. I also I have the early code of a user profile system that will allow, simple private messaging, user ratings. However the user profiles have not yet been implemented. So if you have any recommendations or features you would like to see implemented please let me know. I really wish battle.net had an API to pull records (Such as win ratio, etc) and such but unfortunately that is not supported and appears to be no plans for one. |

how do you organize times to play matches ? is there a way to arrange matches based on skill level ?
It's probably not very fair if you match up someone in gold vs diamond for instance..
can you explain how those non-pro match up bets work ?
I'm interested in playing some games
I apologize for not responding to you sooner. So the way game of skill bets work currently is that you post a bet and you can set a category, such as starcraft or counterstrike and winning conditions, such as a 3 out of 3 or 3 out of 5. There is also a title to give an idea of skill level and a description, to give information about your prospective day and time you would like to play. You can and should use the description and the title to specify your skill level and what you would like to play, such as, Plat/Gold 1v1. Once your bet is posted your funds are put into escrow, you may delete your bet up until the time the challenge is accepted and your funds will be returned. The bet is posted and sits in the index so that other players can view the prospective bets and if they agree to the terms, they can accept the challenge. Once they accept the challenge their funds are put into escrow. There is a private comment system on the bet page of game of skill bets that can be used to arrange matches and work out details. If you cannot determine a time both players may agree to a draw to have both of their funds returned. Once a match is scheduled and played out the participants must return to the site to input the results of the match. Once one user inputs the results of the match a timer is started, and the other player has 7 days to report the results of the match. When both players report the results the match it is reviewed and processed. If both players agree on the outcome it is quickly processed, if there is a conflict there is a built in report system which can be used to contact staff and replays should be sent in (always save your replays or take screenshots, etc). After a winner is determined the staff. If there is still no resolution the funds are frozen until evidence is provided. If there is a problem with the match up, such as you requested a game with a platinum player and you they ended up being grand master league you may use the report system and if compliant is reasonable the bet will be cancelled and your funds will be returned. I believe this system can provide a safe framework that bets can be placed on games and you can assure you will be paid if you win. However if you have any suggestions or comments please share them. |

We opened up to make it easier for users to move between currencies to use the different areas of our site. However I spent a lot of time trying to make this a quality exchange and it could certainly be used without participating in the other parts of the site. http://moonco.in/exchangeWe only do bitcoin<=>namecoin transactions at the moment. There is a 0.2% fee. We plan to offer any other virtual currencies in the future but have zero plans to offer exchange into USD/etc. |

Hello,
Moonco.in now offers e-sports betting service with escrow along with our online btc/nmc poker.
There are two types of games:
Game of Foresight - Predict outcomes of professional games for BTC/NMC
If you watch GSL or other professional level gaming leagues or tournaments come join us and bet on who is going to win. Our system supports multi-user betting, where odds are generated automatically by the amount of money put on each side.
Game of Skill - Play games for BTC/NMC
In this style of play you can set up challenges and have them accepted by other users. After the game is played you report the results - If you both agree the money is awarded to the winner. If there is a conflict a replay or other verification can be used to assure that the coins go to the actual winner.
If you have any recommendations, or comments please share them.

You look a lot like Betco.in. Sell us on why we should use yours.
It is a lot like betco.in, and the reason for that is because we run on the same open source code. This in my opinion is a good thing because as we both develop our projects individually we can share improvements. Betco.in is a great site and it is ran by good people. However this site is hosted in NA, so depending on your region you may have better connection speed. We also accept namecoins and will soon implement e-sports betting. I also work closely with players to make sure they are satisfied, and to try to cover loses due to bugs when possible. Other then that I guess it's just a matter of personal preference. Admittedly they have a bigger community but ours is growing. Oh and our tables are spaced themed, so if you are a sci-fi nerd that may be a bonus. When he says open source code, he means open source software. It's based on pokerth, which you can play for free. We have implemented all these things at our site, bitbetter.org and we take no rake. if whoever is hosting the game wins, they keep the pot. However, we have to trust our hosts so we are pretty strict about who we let host the games. We have also implemented spread-sheet betting, but it just isn't as fun as it should be. The open-source poker software is AWESOME. It's fun to play around with even if you're not betting. Try it out then get on bitco.in or bitbetter.org or any of the other numerous sites out there and win some coin! REMEMBER THOUGH--if someone is taking a percentage of the earnings they are being lazy. You can run these games yourself, between you and your own friends. PM and I'll show you how. To be fair the rake that betco.in and moonco.in take in are incredibly small compared to other online poker sites and are used to maintain/improve servers and allow us to invest more time to coding improvements. We also don't use pokerTH, though that is great open source software too, I even looked into implementing that before deciding on python-poker-network. Both Moonco.in and betco.in both use a combination of Python-poker-network (the underlying engine) + Jpoker (The gui) + Catalyst (The perl framework that is used to tie them all together). I agree with you otherwise. My source code is at the bottom of the page and anyone is encouraged to download it and try to install it. I will even try my best to answer questions in #mooncoin. |

This would be really cool to implement but the person who did it would be required to have a pretty large bank.

Yeah I can't wait to set it up so I can see if I can make btc playing 2v2's =) Or even just watching GSL. Thanks, Ill look into that soon as I can. I play in chrome and noticed some issues as well - once I finish getting e-sports setup (made some good progress so far) I will start trying my best at improving the poker client and working out some of the bugs we are experiencing. |
