POKEMON GO LIKE SITE TO PLAY FOR BITCOINS?

[Valzador]

Is it possible to make Pokemon go like site to play for bitcoins? Do you think it is achievable? It is big niche now,and can grow even more bigger

Possible? Yes
Achievable? Unlikely, Pokemon GO had over 25 million dollars from Google and their developer helped build Google Maps. It would take a lot to convince a team to build a similar game and focus it only on a smaller market like bitcoin.

I think Second life was the closed this has come to fruition.
It was a digital currency that was used for that platform to purchase in game things.
The idea of this happening to bitcoin is not too far off because of the popularity that Pokemon has acquired in the last couple of weeks.

The digital currency found in second life is still relatively active today, but Entropa universe has more activity. There are people in that game who make hundreds of thousands of dollars.

https://www.pokebits.com/ at the moment is quite similar to play with bitcoin but unfortunately I didn't find any link for Pokemon Go, as it is very popular around the world so we can keep hope for some good news, very soon it will be integrated with bitcoin.

I also just noticed popping up different memes about pokemon go on different social medias. This also made me curious but it is too early to say that it will be accessible by bitcoin. As someone already mentioned Nitendo doesn't accept innovative solutions. I am trying to get the idea fully before jump in. It will be great to see them together.

Who said ? Nintendo is innovating technology before any other Company even started to get in the market.The main goal of Pokemon go is not even earning money out of it.That barely fits the model.Nintendo invested in the developer who had a creative approach for the game.Your statement is invalid.

Good idea , although I have not tried Pokemon till now , but I see all technology news sites and ANDROID involved sites are taking about this game , is it really interesting ?
I heard that it might have a spy actions , even some government restrict it , I want to know your opinions guys , because I am afraid of playing this game .

I barely thought about these implications but yes I can see this game being a problem in communist countries.
Is it outright banned to used in China?
I don;t think there are any Russian people playing this game either. They have bigger problems in their lives then to spent time on a game that can cause them grief for just playing it. I can see them getting in trouble from their local authorities aka. Putin police.

So Google was involved in this? Interesting. I was just thinking the other day that Chrome's icon that is on my desktop looks alot like what the trainer's in the game use to hold the monsters in.

Yes, Lindollars were the first digital currency I ever heard of and I think I still hold some and was going to transfer into bitcoins when I first heard that you could do that.
Entropa I have also heard about and played. You have to play almost 8+hours daily to achieve making that kind of money in the game and only if you own land to build your castles and casinos on to bring in    money like that.

Yes,Google is a part of this...It seems servers were down today due to DDOS atack,but people are crazy about this game...What do you think,for how long it will be so popular?

[Arcteryx]

Just be careful with with Pokemon app you use. There are fakes going around call Pokemon Go Ultimate:
https://www.engadget.com/2016/07/15/watch-out-for-fraudulent-pokemon-go-apps/

They can lock your screen and some other things that can cause your smart phone massive problems.

Yes,I think it would be good idea...it will bring more popularity to bitcoin too,i guess

You are correct it will add more popularity to bitcoin, I just dont know if this app can be really long term.

How easy do you think its easy to make that "site",oops did you mean the app ? The developer created Google Earth and then Pokemon Go,sure why not ? Ready to shell a billion dollar from your pockets and integrate bitcoin into it.Should not take more than 2 years.

Lol I was also think omg wtf is this OP going on about. Yes lets just make an entire game based on google maps which took years to implement but ya lets just do that. Lets just make this and that it's easy man ! Lol

Then we will just make a game like pokemon with no capital.

Like how will you even use bitcoin in a game like that ?I understand the OP and his feelings about this we all want this but be realistic.

That depends upon the license. 
Though it is unlikely, if they didn't want to or fogot to apply for a copyright license, it will be licensed under the GNU.
If it is released under the GNU then it is really easy to copy and edit the code!

[minime0105]

I think all they can do now is use BTC as mode of payment, but maybe in the near future, when trading of pokemons are released, it can be done.

[Betwrong]

Nope. Your not going to go around carrying your computer, open into the outdoors with the computer camera pointed forward. You wouldn't even know when you found a pokemon expect for sounds, and I'm not sure how bitcoin can be integrated. A mobile site is out of the question, since I don't think they can use the camera, and even if they could, the game would be very laggy. If this were to happen, it would need a standalone app.

yes especially if bitcoin accepted in payment systems pokemon game. it will be good news. all pokemon game players will use bitcoin. and bitcoin will become greater.

I bet most people, like over 99% of the players won't use bitcoin.

Yes, probably it is so for now, but things might change. If the players discover that buying various premium items for the game is easier with Bitcoin than they will use Bitcoin, why not.

[Wendigo]

Nintendo will never allow it to happen. They don't tolerate trading of virtual items for real cash and I don't think they will be very fond of the idea to let such a gambling site fly because Pokemon Go is first and foremost marketed towards children. Nintendo will probably issue cease and desist letters by the end of the day after they catch a whiff of any Pokemon Go illegal activity which Bitcoin trading/gambling is.

damn wouldn't that be cool!

battle each other and fight for bitcoins - strategy based!

Yeah, I was thinking that too, it just won't happen. Why on earth would someone make some sort of copy just to include Bitcoin?
Plus they would never get permission to use Pokemon.

If niantic knew bitcoin, it may accept bitcoin for purchasing it's cash.
But AFAIK, google knew about altcoin named Etherium ( ETH ) so let's hope they will realize the power of bitcoin and start accept bitcoin so bitcoin will getting more popular than ever

If google recognizes Ethereum then they should accept it as a form of payment. And now that google has some attachment to nintendo thru pokemon go game then it is a step in the right direction for the next step is to implement bitcoin as a form of payment since you can exchange it for Ethereum anyways.

It won't be so easy. You xn do it externally but I very much doubt Nintendo will endorse gambling in pokem especially since many children play. Will hurt their business.

Maybe something similar, just have to watch for people faking their locations like what happened in real pokermon go.  If you have a 3rd party checking everything is legit before withdraws then should be fine.
