I like this idea. I thought about the same thing myself but with Fifa football games a couple of months back. All I did was google to see if there was anything out there currently being offered.
It struck me as a legal headache, what with needing a gambling license and protecting minors and all that, along with having to trust your coder inherently not screwing you over as well.
How did you nearly get burned? I am keen to see if you get this off the ground. Make sure you can trust your coder.
Legal Headaches??? Now you have me worried...lol But if the site I create deals TOTALLY IN VIRTUAL
BTC, with no other currency such as USD, EURO, ETC... involved whatsoever, there shouldn't really be a legal issue should there? I'll have to look into this further myself actually now, but yeah I like the escrow idea as well. I think with
BTC the problem lies when people try to get the mainstream currencies involved with it, buying it, and selling it for what governments consider "real currency", that's when it get's a little "hairy" as they say here in the US.A. at least that's my newbie opinion on it, keep in mind I only have about a months worth of info and research into this thus far, so I could be totally wrong. It happens :-) Anyway eerygarden thanks for the post, I'll keep you posted on status. But I'm definitely going to have the script/site written and developed if it is possible :-)
REGARDING my "almost burned" experience?
don't want to go into here really here, guy was just typical con-man, excuses for everything, constant lies, stories, etc... but I posted the bullet-points into his trust here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=418704 to make everyone aware. The whole situation could have been avoided had I listened to my initial instincts...lol But I didn't so I don't totally blame him either.
Freelancer's fine with me, and I'm happy to have half upfront half after OR use escrow Or Freelancer OR eLance. PM for portfolio.
VORTEX20000 SENT YOU A PM THANKS!
