Bitcoin / Project Development / A highly-democratized, distributed, virtual organization. Possible?

on: August 17, 2013, 08:54:19 PM

Hello. I wanted to mention first that I have had only great experiences from my interactions with members of the Bitcoin community. Virtually everyone is very helpful, empathetic, and well-educated. I've spoken to high-school students who made me envious of their breath of knowledge at their age. I am both shocked and excited. Anyway, I wanted to share with you a small vision I have been cooking in my mind, I'm sure it's not revolutionary, and its highly imperfect. However, I think if one were to focus in and exploit the unique pros of such a system, and duly mitigate the cons, It could really generate value for all involved. The system in question is "A highly-democratized, distributed, virtual organization with no physical location, of people united on a common, value-generating goal." An organization is defined by the people that are part of it. With the internet, it was Steve Jobs' exact vision that in the future, people would collaborate from around the world, and be united purely on interests and not physical conveniences. In general, intellectual workers are most valuable and productive when they are actually interested in what they are doing, what are the statistical chances that they live next door to a company doing exactly what they want to do? There is a ripe environment for something great to come together. It's like this environment of building blocks. Internet infrastructure, Bitcoins, Easy access to computing, tools available for collaborative software development. It seems that all that is really needed is for a few highly ambitious people to come together and decide on a project that will produce value. It seems to me the Bitcoin community today is like the computer clubs, and those that believed in the internet when it was first being used by a small minority. Anyway I propose a thought experiment for the thinkers in this forum, let's hear ideas

Haha there will be rewards! I can't let my first loyal fans and testers get away with nothing On a side note, I was thinking of opening up a sort of investment service - where anyone can invest bitcoins and get a return based on profits.. sort of like owning shares. Probably no official voting rights, but definitely influence. also there's an IRC channel: FreeNode #bitstrat idle&support

Quote from: TheUntitled on August 15, 2013, 08:56:07 PM Quote from: romsa9 on August 15, 2013, 07:55:18 PM UPDATE: New Creep Controls (Optimized for fast decisions and combo-attack strategies) Shortcuts for building: 1,2,3,4, for when you really need to build 10 towers in a row asap! Players now get kicked for inactivity, if the game is active, players will forfeit after being inactive for about 5 minutes. Inactive means navigating away from the page, etc. Loving the new look of the creep spawning, but there are a few issues with it: mainly that you've removed custom amounts. I said it was tedious, not unnecessary. Now you can't send out anything between 1 and 10 creeps. My suggestion would be: in addition to having the buttons there which spawn set amounts, add an input box where you can put custom amounts. Adding it after the 100x button would be best. Added custom spawn back. Also added spectator mode . Total creeps limited to 1000 now, to avoid mass spams. In the real world you can only produce so many rats at a time, no matter how much money you have . Done for today, going to watch some Mad Men, ill be on if anyone wants to have a game. Once again thank you to everyone who has been providing feedback - it's very valuable, and you guys have great ideas. I look forward to perfecting this game and by the time it launches you all will be experts at it ,

Quote from: defaced on August 15, 2013, 04:25:12 PM Pretty fun game man, i love it! Any plans for a mobile version? It works on iPad quite well, would need to optimize controls for tap though. Quote from: Elwar on August 15, 2013, 06:17:57 PM Bad things start happening when you send thousands of rats in all at once... For me it starts repeating the same thing over and over like deja vu on the screen without all of the rats. hmm probably has to do with data packets arriving late. Thanks, Will look into fixing it.

Quote from: Tymer on August 14, 2013, 01:58:07 PM Wow! already addicted! im DYING to bet mBTC :3 I am glad to hear it Quote from: bitspill on August 14, 2013, 07:11:52 AM After playing with you for a while it feels very well done and just needs more balancing tweaks, a tower upgrade system, and more players Quote from: infobiactrader on August 14, 2013, 08:00:23 AM I would definitely play this game for money I love tower defense style stuff. Only problem - it takes forever to find anyone to play with. Sometimes two people come on at once and the get matched up instantly, and other times player sit and wait for a partner, eventually go afk, then someone finally joins the game, playing with an afk. Looking into a better system. Thank you for everyone's feedback. Very kind of you I am thrilled that people are liking the game. Definitely needs a 'speed' increase. Someone came on and quit because it was simply too slow. Will raise the rate income comes in at. Updates: - Tower placement now shows tower radius - Shortcuts: 1,2,3,4 to place towers quick. Near future: - Speed increase (income rate, creep speed) - Limit # of creeps on the gameboard at any given time - issues with spamming. - Quickplay system: Thinking of having a 10-minute in-game timeout (kick and forfeit), and a 1 minute cursor movement checker for game ready screen. Far future: - Tower upgrades, tower selling? - More towers, more creeps. - Game manual for the TD newbs.

Quote from: videos4btc on August 14, 2013, 04:20:53 AM I'm so confused lol About how to play? I've been meaning to put up a detailed guide. Basically you defend your castle with towers while attacking the opponent's castle. If you get 10 creeps past their castle, you win the game.

on: August 14, 2013, 04:17:57 AM

I am looking for people in interested in trying out a new (maybe first?) Bitcoin strategy gaming website: www.bitstrat.com. Currently running on testnet coins, so feel free to bet big . Stuff to look out for: - Poor game balance - Lag, unreasonable delays - Any behavior deemed strange - Login/Logou session issues? - Bitcoin wager transfer issues (negative balances? missing coins?) Feedback very appreciated romsa9@gmail.com

I am looking for people in interested in trying out a new (maybe first?) pure-skill bitcoin gaming website: www.bitstrat.com. Also looking for ideas for future pure-skill games to add to the portfolio. The games must not have any element of chance and be hard to bot (real-time action, not turn-based). Feedback appreciated romsa9@gmail.com

Obviously, the expected return for the gambler is negative. Not if you are a really good player I think that skill-based 'gambling' is just starting... You are right, it's 100% skilled gaming. The outcome is based on your skill not luck or chance Tetris is 100% skill? One could argue that the pieces are generated with a random number generator. Does each player get the same pieces in the same order? Are the pieces disclosed before the game begins?

Quote from: DiamondCardz on August 11, 2013, 11:22:33 PM Yeah, you should still set an X-Frame-Options value to prevent a ClickJacking attack, because of the nature of the site (passwords and such). To prevent the exploit: set X-Frame-Options to DENY in the HTTP header. Fixed Quote from: BitGlory on August 11, 2013, 05:05:33 PM Twitter Bootstrap, again? :p Yes, Twitter Bootstrap is quick and easy, and looks decent, with great usability. Will certainly be looking at upgrading the UI, but right now the aren't enough hands for this.

Quote from: ur0pl on August 11, 2013, 06:29:13 AM I played satoshi dice, prime dice, and coindice each of those companies have larger bankrolls than you do, so they can play as long as you can, but you most likely would play until you lose... otherwise you would think you are not capitalizing on your potential. gambling at those games is a loser market. It is better to trade ltc to btc to alt coin and back. that is a better way to make money -- trading coins. I was inspired by this same exact observation to make a pure-skill bitcoin gaming site (www.bitstrat.com). Gambling on chance games only ends in disappointment in the long-run.

Matthew:out There are no credit card numbers to expose.. Not a single credit card number is used anywhere.. What are you doing? To be honest, I'm not massively sure about why w3af thought that was a credit card number. Maybe it just found something that matched a format for a credit card. I suppose w3af only really turned up the potential ClickJacking attack. I'd say the website is secure, but that's not for me to judge. Matthew:out Lol okay, i thought you were trolling I guess any 16-digit number looks like a CC number.

Can I claim white hat hacking? Matthew:out DoS (not DOS) != hacking, skiddys... DoS flood attacks are pretty much unavoidable.. The DoS protection that exists on there now is that game states are auto-saved, and so if server goes down, nothing is lost. Games get paused at the precise state they were at. By hacking I mean, well, try to find an exploit where you somehow get free coins, or transactions don't occur properly, xss, or somehow break the server, gain access to people's accounts, etc.
