I needed a way to implement gaming chips and using lightning network seems a very interesting solution. However, LN is assuming the latest BTC, so I had to fork bitcoin 0.14 to get a testable environment.
SHA256, 10 second blocks, rpc port 57776
pchMessageStart[0] = 0xff;
pchMessageStart[1] = 0xee;
pchMessageStart[2] = 0xdd;
pchMessageStart[3] = 0xcc;
nDefaultPort = 57777;
https://github.com/jl777/chips3 <- fork of BTC 0.14
build instructions:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.20793493https://github.com/jl777/lightning <- fork of Elements lightning C daemon
build instructions: cd lightning; make; cd privatebet; ./m_bet
Please refer to the docs for the original projects, I made as little changes to them as possible.
I am not sure if this blockchain will become the "real" CHIPS, but I would tend to guess that it would. Privatebet (BET komodo assetchain) is implementing a generic decentralized gaming platform and will be using CHIPS for the internal ledger of the in-game betting results. However, specific plans are subject to change until it is all finalized.
Since the casino games will have a relatively short lifetime, as long as the market price of CHIPS does not change very quickly, people can purchase CHIPS to use inside the games and them redeem them via barterDEX at close to the same price. Maybe even some time limited pricelocking can be implemented with CLTV.
This is really more of an internal component for the komodo ecosystem, but I announce in here so that it cannot be claimed that it was done in secret. Of course it is all in my github and fully public even during the development phase.
Oh, there wont be any ICO for CHIPS. Not looking for any funding, we have plenty of that. However, if you want to actively participate in the development or testing, then certainly we need as many people for that as possible.
I have a node running at: 5.9.253.195
once you get it built using normal bitcoin build procedure: ./chipsd -addnode=5.9.253.195 &
The lightning is started by ~/lightning/lightningd/lightningd &
