The Bitcoin Coop is having the first Gaming on the Blockchain Meetup/Google Hangout tomorrow! See below for details.

Sorry there haven't been any Gaming on the Blockchain articles, lately; the author has been very busy. However, we're having a Gaming on the Blockchain Meet Up at the Decentral space in Vancouver, and you can watch the virtual Google Hangout here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/c6vdhtji70uil6picm5vtqmb0e8

We'll be beaming in Koji Higashi, who works at EverdreamSoft, to talk about their upcoming game Spells of Genesis. They're also the company behind Moonga, both of which are placing their cards on the blockchain as Counterparty assets. They'll be giving some away along with some BitCrystal tokens at our event!

what about a rts like age of empire that utilize bitcoin and altcoin as a resource system in-game, so instead of wood and gold you get bitcoin and altcoin, then your final income can be withdrawal only if you win the game

That's a nice idea, I would play the game if someone want to make it

we can use bitcoin as a primary resourse and litecoin or monero maybe as a second, it would promote the rts genre more, seeing how it is dying and i hate this, as i love RTS to death

This sounds like fun, but what kind of turn-based game will wait for 30 minutes to confirm a transaction?
I would like to play chess against someone, where every move is recorded on the blockchain. You pay for every move you make and it goes to a central escrow service, that would pay the winner on completion of the match.
The only problem is speed and honesty. <You will have to stream the game, to proof that you used NO device to make the moves for you>

Yes the best idea here would be to have offchain use of ressources. But with the ability to withdraw the ressources from your account or refill on your will

But to withdraw your bitcoin after win some games I dont think that is a good idea because that will be a wasting if you can't end it fast, you just wasting you time running circle to get items to make you stronger before you can end it. If that is the game plan may be we do some botting faucet, its easier to do than playing game

Only one screenshot but I'd say it looks pretty ncie and good , anyone know it's going to be available on what platforms exactly ? looking forward to play this .

it's not only about earning, it's about putting together two things that you may like, playing video game and earning few cent or even more why not, if you are good enough, this is about skill, not gambling or anything else, only the best will earn more, it's not a field for everybody

and actually you need to end it slowly and accumulate many resources, so you can cash more, so in the end who will earn more is the one that will play wisely his resource

[The Bitcoin Co-op]

Hey guys, hope you're excited for the hangout today, sorry I haven't had time to write any more articles, yet. Here are some answers to questions, though:

Chess on the blockchain would be trivially easy to do. Hopefully, you choose a blockchain with a short block time, as waiting 10 minutes to see your opponent's move would be annoying.

An RTS holds interesting possibilities. Yes, you could construct altcoins to represent the in-game resources. I just question the value of doing so--it is unlikely that someone will try to hack the game's central server to steal your resources in the short timespan of one RTS match, nor are serious disputes about resources traded in-game likely to arise.

In terms of reward, my concern would be that you would drastically change the way people play the game. I tend to spend all spare RTS resources as I get them--players who hoard will be rewarded more coins than me upon victory. Also, what if I find a way to be victorious quickly or with low resource expenditure--surely such cleverness should be rewarded.

Regardless, I think it's an interesting idea that will lead to something once those problems are worked out.

Director Andrew Wagner has just begun a series of reviews of cryptocurrency, blockchain, and decentralization-based video games. It's called Gaming on the Blockchain; the first review is of Moonga, which is putting its online trading cards on the Bitcoin blockchain as smart property.

Check it out: http://www.newsbtc.com/2015/04/26/blockchain-gaming-moonga/

Has he heard of Motocoin?
The whole currency is run by a small moto simulation game. In this case, the blockchain is a game.
Too bad the dev left and the website expired. 

Yeah I remember this game. It seemed really innovative back them. Unfortunately it seems like it meet the same destiny most coins meet: being abandoned by the main dev. It could be picked p by anyone else tho, it's the good thing about open source.

yes i love games,when it launched guys?

i said "only if you win th game" because

one could simply disconnect and earn money without doing too much, we want them to play the game extensively
one could simply camp the whole game then leave and get many btc/ltc, while he not really deserved it
also imposing that you must win the game for retrieving the coin, it's a way to not give too much to the player, and to promote only those with high skill

but yeah it's still not perfect, it needs some tweaks

But to get all equips that you need to fight monster and get some resouces its kind of taking some time and that will not be easy to do since the game is rts game and for cashing out until you really got some great resources, is that a legit? I ever saw game that they got about 50k++ bitcoin, if they want to cash out are the admin willing to pay all of it? This is like gambling to me

gambling? this has nothing to do with gambling ever, do you know what age of empire is or what rts are in general, they are based on pure skill, and they are more skill demanding than any other game

mi intention is to not base the resouces 1:1 with bitcoin of  course, you can do 1000:1, so for every 1 in-game resource you get 1000 satoshi or 100 satoshi, this should be tweaked based on how many resources one can have at the end of the match in a standard game

but bears in mind that you can't get as many resources as you think, because you need it to build your stuff(units, buildings, upgrades ecc...), but it could be the case, where two players just sit there and accumulate until they have plenty of resources then let one of them wins, the next time they let the other wins ecc, this could be a way of abusing this system

Thats why I said this is kind of gambling. You want to earn it fast by doing some abuse to the system or may be you just can play it a long way just to earn some. But that is not the problem here. The things that I can't agree is on the payment actually. Altough its 1000:1, at one day you really got nothing to do after you have completed all of your buildings and items and in that time your resources must be full loaded. And are they gonna to pay you the real price for the resources or that is just a camuflauge to scam us by asking us to play this kind of games?

there is nothing scammy about this system, it is just a way of rewarding skill, you don't need to pay anything, at best there coul be some stuff to buy not related exactly to the game, but this will probably suits more an fps game than a rts

that abuse i was talking about was just one of the little problems that could rise with my suggestion, nothing to worry about it you can always tweak it

you should really see some rts playing to understand, this is not simcity, it'ss not about sitting there and let your money grows then cash out, you must defeat your opponent in a multiplayer match, human vs human, take a look at starcraft 2 for example

the only difference is that the players would play with bitcoin in-game and not minerals or gas like in the case of Starcraft, then only who win can retrieve his resources as a reward

Ok now that will make sense, its like kind of faucet right? But it combine two things so we can earn it with convert it trough resources and still didnt know about the percentage. So how is this good compared to other faucets if you talk that game like starcraft? If you said that multiplayer match may be its not worth and like solo play it will be take some time altough the payout is good so which one is worth to do? Solo, multiplayer or faucets?
