I feel like we already had one of these services and it failed cause no one wanted to bet anymore.

I sorta like this idea. Whats fun about gamers is that they (at least in my experience) are very good at spreading the word to other gamers. They talk, a LOT. Also, if they can use something to buy hardware, thats pretty much good enough for them. So, if this catches on, I can see this becoming huge.

When I was chatting up bitcoin while playing Diablo III ealier this year, I would run into someone who knew about bitcoin once every 10-20 players.

I wonder what the stat would be if I played now.  You may have just inspired me to do some D3 market research.

1. make leetcoin account
2. make/acquire hacks
3. Huh
4. profit

seriously though, how are they going to prevent cheaters from winning?

Depends on if whether it's more profitable to be honest vs. Cheater.

It's not like the blockchain which uses a proof of work concept...  idea???

I have heard that cheating is common in Counter-strike. With real prizes (BTC) incentive only bots will be playing IMHO Grin!

It's a new form of mining Smiley

or a new form of Pindle bot... not sure what the difference is?
