2500$ for your idea

[Evil-Knievel]

When I ask the OP to use escrow I would expect some sort of guarantee that there will be a payout and maybe let the escrow person confirm this as well so he doesn't pull the "there were no good ideas" excuse.

This again is unfair for the OP. In your "selfish" scheme, he must perform a payout regardless of the quality of the ideas even though he specifically asked for "good ones". Why should he pay for bad ones?

I see no other possibility than posting ideas using a legal disclaimer. Everything else is just illusion.

I have never used an escrow and I will never use an escrow by the way. Being the "seller" I would never trust an anonymous dude on the internet with a decent amount of BTC. Even if an escrow has enough positive ratings, I think that for most it's just a matter of how much money is at stake until they hit the road. Being the "buyer" it's also useless. Unless you are dealing with actual goods that can be checked if they have been delivered, an escrow has no way of verifying if the expectations of a buyer have been met.

An escrow if a wonderful PR gag, and that's it.

Because he is getting the ideas for free?

This is not true. He said he will put 2500USD on the table for the best idea. This is not "for free".
Why don't people just post their ideas with some sort of disclaimer that the 2500USD have to be paid before the idea is adopted?

Many people just don't get the point that an escrow is absolutely useless. The OP could very well put the 2500USD to an escrow,
let you post your ideas and then ask the escrow for a refund because none of the submissions meet his definition of "a good idea".

The escrow is a misconception, does not give you any additional security, and is - in the way it is used here in the forum - completely pointless.
Why do people still do it?

You basically say escrow is useless because OP can say there were no good ideas and take his money back but you state the text in red? If OP is not truthful about putting the money on the table then he is getting free ideas.

When I ask the OP to use escrow I would expect some sort of guarantee that there will be a payout and maybe let the escrow person confirm this as well so he doesn't pull the "there were no good ideas" excuse. If OP does that then I assure you there will be pages upon pages of decent ideas. But this will never happen since no one (in their right mind) will pay $2500 for an idea so everyone is basically wasting their time.

I agree with this 100 %. Why he would pay so much money for some random idea here, when with that money he can pay some professionals to do that job. Its not a little money, and to he just say to someone" hey you have nice idea here it is 2500 $ " sounds too good to be truth.
And we all know here very good what that means. OP is probably just bored and trying to get some inspiration here.

Of course he will not use escrow, when this is just one big joke. This thread is good just for +1 in spreadsheet in signature campaigns. People will tell what first they think of and that's it. But I think its ok, that means its not completely wasting time on this topic.

Or maybe one day someone will come and see some good idea and really use it for some game. That would be good thing.
My simple idea is risiko, or any other war game that can be played with btc. Like some tournaments or one on one will be good.

We all know what those "professionals" deliver during their fixed salary 9 to 5 jobs: crap.
The greatest ideas come from ordinary people like you and me.

Maybe we just think totally different   I would just post my idea along with a disclaimer. You would rather post nothing without an escrow. If a payout is to be made, who has the higher chances?

And why shouldn't anyone pay 2500 US$ for an idea. I have seen many people do that before. I have done random 200$ giveaways in the past ... they all went smooth without an escrow.

No he doesn't have to pay for bad ones. There is only one payout and it is to the best idea. There will be at least one good idea if he set the payout like that. Is it selfish? Maybe but that's the best way to serious responses. Does the OP have to do what I say? Of course not. Just because someone says "do x" on this forum doesn't make it mandatory. It's more like an opinion or suggestion even if i didn't explicitly say that.

I have never used an escrow and I will never use an escrow by the way. Being the "seller" I would never trust an anonymous dude on the internet with a decent amount of BTC.

Anyone can bail out with your money but an escrow who deals with x amount of btc on a daily basis and makes a profit wouldn't bail out with 0.001x btc. That's just stupid. It will be reasonably safe to do a small transaction within the amount of funds he handles. Now an anonymous dude with 0 ratings has nothing to lose so he is way more likely to run of with whatever small amount he gets because he has to reputation to uphold.

If there is no one here who deals with that much cash then maybe you can break it up into parts and use multiple escrows. But hey no one is forcing you or OP to do anything with your money.

I have an idea. If you want an idea about my idea, check out my site (it's 64blocks.com) ... I can also do your escrow, but there are many others who can do so as well.

Who said he has to pay for every idea people share? When he's promising, he obviously should guarantee the people that if their idea is chosen, he'll get paid.

and what selfish scheme? He's a newbie, he's the one who promised to offer that for the best idea and now he's nowhere.

What if some people were planning or have planned some best ideas but they didn't had enough money to implement those, and they saw this thread and exposed their idea to everyone here assuming they'll be getting $2500.

Now he won't get that $2500 and also his idea might have already got copied by others who have the skills and enough funds to make it happen?

simple example from my side
1 VS 1
generate random numbers between certain numbers like 1 to 10 for both the users at a same time and if that number is larger then the seond player the opponent will win !!
this one is just a basic concept only

[bob123]

You should escrow the funds first.. noone cares wheter you have a link to an address owning those 5 btc.

[pneumatic5]

Currently I am searching for a btc game idea. Ideally the game will be browser based, multiplayer, 1v1. As an example you can take the classic Tic Tac Toe game, user A vs user B - who wins takes the stake (the stake would be the gathered played amount).
I am going to put on the table $2500 (in btc) or even more for the best game idea.

Its good idea keep it up escrow is must

PM me for my bitcoin address where you can send that $2,500.

I'm assuming this is a troll, let me know if I'm wrong.

Because a basic Tic Tac Toe idea for $2500 isn't a great idea 

[OhGodAGirl]

A few more guidelines would be helpful, such as:

Do you require a game development document?
Do you require proof of concept?

[elm]

the OP is the troll 

[lofty]

Here's an idea for anyone to use :

[reuschman]

place the funds in escrow first 

yes there is any escrow?

the OP is the troll 

I think so!

[chrisvl]

he abandoned the thread already?  probably Didn't like our ideas at all 

δεν περίμενα πως θα έδινε κάπoιo πόσo

I think he left.

[Digitalbitcoin]

There are so many ideas in my mind actually few are already worked and getting good results. But $2500 is quite lower price it will better to give me royalty or rev share on profit.

[mki8]

i have a few ideas,
one or two i would never tell you, unless you could prove you had funds for development and marketing etc.
and would not want $2500 but shares in the company

what you offer makes you seem like you are not serious about anything
as $2500 for a concept is nothing if that concept works
and too many details are missing,
you have not stated anything about what you want in the business/profit side of things

You're saying this on a dead thread where the OP stopped login to this forum on May 1.

Read a few previous posts before you post yours. Duh!
