We are looking for approachable and practical advice with incorporating Bitcoins to a game.
We need to receive and send Bitcoins similar to how many gambling sites do it. There seems to be a few different solutions, like running bitcoind or btcd, or relying on 3rd party APIs like Blockchain. But there seems to be some tradeoffs between these solutions. We are looking for a short summary between these to help us choose the proper solution.
The game also has a chance element and we need to make it provably fair. A general description on how a game can be made provably fair would be appreciated.
We are basically trying to get a rough understanding what is involved.
I'll pay 0.2 BTC to the first person who gives us a kick to the right direction. If you are interested to help, PM the answers to the above questions!
I understand that trust is a concern. I recently kept my word and paid 0.5 BTC, see

I'm happy to answer any questions you might have. Thanks!
