Hey folks. I am currently toying around with ideas for a bitcoin driven gaming/gambling website. The game side of the thing would be like this: People play for a placement in a leaderboard and pay some mBTC to play, the best placed players after a week/month get paid out of all the entry fees of the game minus a small amount to cover site costs (something like 95% of the entry fees get split up 50/30/20 amongst the top three).
Now I have some questions regarding the technical bitcoin related side of things:
I figured that since having to wait for confirmations everytime you pay the fee to start a game would be inconvenient I'd create an address in the site's wallet for each member that can be filled by the member with coins to play with. Every game/leaderboard has it's own address in the wallet aswell. Since they're in the same wallet I could safely let the game start without waiting for confirmations of the transaction from the member address to the game address.
Does that make sense?
Further and more to the actual point:
Since the above described design would involve a heck of a lot of addresses, what wallet software would be best suited as the basis of the backend?
Should one run such a service on a windows or a linux server?
What's the best way to setup such a service's bitcoin backend: Wallet and website on the same machine or on different machines at different locations?
Thx in advance for any helpful link and answer.
@Mods: I wasn't sure wether to put this into the project development, service discussion or technical support section, pls feel free to move it accordingly if i made the wrong choice.
