I think this code, sophomoric as it is, proves that ripple is much faster and better for gaming than bitcoin. Admittedly there's not much traffic on the ripple network, but after watching this thing go I'm a believer.
speed is really not a problem for bitcoin. most games will allow you to use deposits with 0 confirmations (which is pretty much instant). the only restriction comes with withdrawals (this is where ripple may actually have an advantage). but still not a big deal, as you'll probably satisfy the min confirmations of the site during the time your playing whatever game (e.g. 2 confirmations is only ~20 min); so by the time you're ready to withdraw, you're deposits should already be sufficiently confirmed.
I'm also an early adopter to XRPs so I can benefit if you just copy it and use it to drive XRP adoption.
so, here you go!

nice. thanks!
i think the greatest benefit would be to open source this code for others to use in their own creative implementations. would you have any objections if i threw this up on github when i'm done? i'd obviously credit you as the original author.
-------------------
actually, i don't even like to gamble (at least not casino style). i prefer "real money games" (like skins when golfing). i believe bitcoin and ripple could do well in facilitating the creation of fun and unique real money "online" games. my new platform
https://www.btcvillage.nl will hopefully provide a framework for average developers to create "real money venues" without all the hurdles that come with cryptographic currencies.
edit:just ran another test on your bot. incredibly fast indeed. nice work
