BTC Games

[fdylstyx]

I have an idea and just wanted to throw it at the wall here. As the title suggests I'm thinking of ways to get BTC trending to more of the general populace. I have this idea in my head that I believe just might go viral. Fascination and laughs for all participants assured.

If you are curious and know a thing or two about enabling social media traction, and have a reasonable sum to invest then feel free to PM me.

UPDATE/April 09, 2015, 12:22:25 AM Just got this thread moved out of the gambling section. What was I thinking.  

Project Development is definitely where this should be. Tip of the hat to moderator Cyrus for a quick rescue.  


UPDATE/ 2015-07-29 16:45 UTC  I haven't given up on the idea here but going to take a different route. Anyone with skills want to brainstorm with me just PM me and we'll see where it goes. Let me know what your skills are and in return I'll set it so that we can discuss in more detailed terms.

[fdylstyx]

Maybe this needs to be somewhere else than under gambling. The games I had in mind were of skill not luck. Not to say that gambling isn't both.

You definitely have to provide more information.
Newbie + sketchy information + looking for investors = Scam, would be the way most people think.

[fdylstyx]

That's often the case panju1...I'm not here to scam anyone and I'm not looking to partner up with scammers but stuff happens. Still, nothing ventured nothing gained also has merit as a blanket statement.

Those who PM me showing interest will get enough information to be able to decide to go further. I'm not directly asking anyone for investment capitol at this time and I expect those of interested that can bring the most to the table, whether venture funds or skills, will likely have a few ideas how to protect themselves. As do I.

So many red flags....

whats the difference of pm or posting it in public? If you're transparent enough then you would likely get more interest rather than acting shady.. You claim not to scam, how will we know that other than words and promises?

[fdylstyx]

Obviously the PM function has it's purpose waterpile. For good reason, premature disclosure might very well take the fun(ds) out of this idea for those who understand the term "loose lips sinks ships".

Transparency will have it's time to shine on the blockchain...should it come to that.


For now it's about crossing the Ts and dotting the ayes.

This way is very bad you do not transparent and use newbi account
you should explain in more detail here

[funtotry]

Information should be provided publicly. If I was looking to invest in something (which I am not) I would want them to be transparent and I shouldn't have to waste my time PMing someone about something. Many investors are lost because you forcing them to PM you.

[fdylstyx]

As far as trust goes I'm pretty much holding my own with the rest of the posters here, with the exception of waterpile.

I may lose the interest of the fleeting crowd but I'll stick with my theory that someone who practices due diligence would not think much of me, or any ideas I have that might be worth their time, if I succumbed so easily to those who take the time to post here telling me I'm not worthy of their time.

I have a clear agenda. I've stated what I wish to state and I'll stand by my word.

[waterpile]

nothing can possibly go wrong trusting a newbie

[bitbaby]

I think I might know a thing or 2 about social media but don't know what's this all about, I am interested in knowing what you have in mind, so pm me if you want and let me know what ideas you have.

[fdylstyx]

I'm beginning to feel I'm just a little too cautious. I get you have reason to suspect me. As you should also understand that I might have reason to suspect any of you. So let's try to do this the "trustless" way shall we?

So I'm thinking setting up an escrow with a very well trusted third party may be the way to proceed. Call it crowdfunding from within the community if you wish. The fact of the matter is I have no intention of sharing my idea with anyone who is not willing to agree to a non disclosure clause to the escrow.

I propose that I ;

1/ set a goal of 100 individual interested prospects willing to put up 1BTC (in escrow along with the non disclosure agreement) for a chance to review the business plan.

2/ upon reading the business plan any prospects will have the choice to exit and in doing so will have their 1BTC returned. Less a nominal fee, yet to be agreed on, for the yet to be agreed on escrow service provider. Consequences such as a person's Trust Score would be affected by those opting out and dishonoring the non disclosure agreement.

3/ those prospects who have read the business plan and find it worth "their time and BTC" can become part owners of the "business" and own .25% of the business. That's one quarter of one percent. This potentially (optimistically) will max out at 25% leaving at the very most least 75% of the business left for future funding that may or may not be required.

4/ those who prove to have the time and skills required to "build and maintain it" will be fairly recompensed at fair market value when returns warrant them, not during concept however...some sweat equity will be required and more from some than others...as in team work.

5/ I will be happy to see this succeed and, as the "originator", will own 1% and, when profit allows receive not more than half but not less than one quarter of the highest annual salary paid to any "employee".  


I think these terms are fair. Certain terms are open to discussion and/or consensus for change. Any feedback would greatly be appreciated. Here, or in PM.

Setting up escrow will make it more transparent and create atmosphere of trust among you and investors. People are afraid as there already have been so many scammed. I will give vote up for escrow.

[fdylstyx]

I thank you for your input and support boopy. It's going on 2AM here. So on your optimistic note I will now lay me down to sleep.

You shouldnt take in any consideration to all the negative comment, people will keep on commenting although you have proven yourself, this is how this forum is, and also, due note that some are actually commenting like that because you are a new account which hasnt proven yourself yet

[ciocgun]

i will follow this project, waiting for an escrow

[fdylstyx]

Any suggestions as to which escrow provider I should approach?

What would a good trust score be? 10+...20+...30+? I expect such service providers would be in the Hero/Legendary strata.

I have to start somewhere folks so a little direction would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't used one before, but there are two good lists of escrow service providers.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=108716.0

You should find an escrow that is active and has good feedback on their escrow thread.

[fdylstyx]

Thank you Dennis7777, I'll look at those links right now.
