Hello,

Long story short: I use bitcoin and litecoin, but I am very quiet and almost never use forums anywhere. That is why you have never heard of me.  Grin

I am an Android and Windows 8 developer "aT Games" on the side. I have multiple titles out, mostly hidden object games.

I currently have a card game in development that I would like to find a way to weave bitcoin into. I would like to float my idea past you guys to see what you think.


The Game:

1. It's a free, two player card game.
2. I make my money with ads placed at the beginning of each game.
3. Players can buy "ad skips". 69 of them for $.99

How I would like to add bitcoin:

4. Players can buy 99 ad skips for $.99 worth of bitcoin. There is incentive for the player to purchase with bitcoin over using "real" currency. (please don't hurt me, notice the quotes)
5. Similar to Moola, the player can move up a ladder earning bitcoin for winning.

The ladder consists of 17 steps, with step 1 being worth 0.015625 mBTC, and the amount of bitcoin won or lost doubles with each step.
The difference between my ladder and Moola's is that you can't play below your step, and you can't cash out until you win step 17. Cashing out at step 17 gets you one bitcoin transferred to your wallet, and resets you to step 1.

In other words, win 17 games in a row and get one free bitcoin Smiley
This is of course very very hard to do.

What do you guys think?

Maybe I should offer to video tape myself doing questionable things while having a shoe on my head so my post will get more feedback?  Wink

Unless you plan to offer the code for this, it belongs in Services.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

Hello cbeast.

Sorry about that. I am willing to share my code/method for adding Bitcoin for in-app purchases in Unity3D if I go ahead with adding it to the game.

Feel free to move the thread. I would if I could figure out how.

I think its a hard way to get bitcoin and win the game..
maybe change the game for less wins in a row and make the prize smaller..?

Im a believer in the btc games and think its much better then all the casino bets.
hope you will make a fine one
