Here is how betting with Counterparty works. The feed operator never has access to funds.

Thanks Matt Y. Is Counterparty suitable in-principle for realtime gaming e.g. online poker?

I joined the Counterparty forums and asked this question there as well.

No, it's not. I'm not sure what it would take to get it there, but my guess is quite a bit.

Its too slow for something like that to be possible.

Betting is all the game you can play on Counterparty.

Counterparty is a platform for finance and betting. Every action is a Bitcoin transaction with embedded metadata which the Counterparty protocol interprets. All history is saved in the Bitcoin blockchain, and this enables an ecosystem of coins, assets, bets, and games.

Thanks! This was my impression after first reading, but it's good to see it confirmed.

Does Counterparty solve the trust problem for betting and gaming (the fear that the operator may take the money and go)?

...it also suffers from this same speed issue, only to a lesser degree.

What would be acceptable in terms of speed? Decentralized systems can't be as fast as centralized and cannot deliver data in under 1 second. So what would be a good balance between comfortable use and still keeping things decentralized (=protected from tampering with)?

sub minute would be good, but even a minute or two is fine. Waiting for over 10 minutes which sometimes goes upto 30-40 minutes is insane.

The other day I tried depositing on Bter and it said it needed 3 confirms. I just went out for dinner.

Why is there a need for faster transactions? Block chain size and security should outweigh speed in my opinion. XCP has an advantage being built on Bitcoin.

Bitcoin security is overplayed. Its so centralized now that its actually in quite a dangerous situation. The new PoS schemes seem to be working fine but we have to wait and see if they get attacked and survive.

It does solve exactly that problem.

It has been already done on counterparty - look at chancecoin, decentralized casino

Thanks, I will take a look. What I understand from a quick browsing of the Chancecoin thread, it is NOT based on Counterparty, but similar features could be implemented.

The following are based directly on CounterParty:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/betxcp-decentralized-sports-betting-vig-free-767510 // BetXCP
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/xbetio-the-worlds-first-distributed-betting-application-645322 // Xbet

You can also play rock/paper/scissors directly from counterwallet.

I am trying to understand Counterparty but I guess I am too lazy and wish to save a few hours of hard intellectual work ;-) Can somebody think of a clear and concise single paragraph? What is Counterparty, why it is part of Bitcoin 2.0, what is its unique selling point, and what applications it's uniquely suitable for.

Thanks!

I'll give it a try.

I think this should be clear and concise enough:
https://www.counterparty.co/about/

But it isn't.

"The primary goal of Counterparty is to enable entrepreneurs, developers, artists and more to build a new, productive economy: doing things that have never been done before, made possible by the amazing technology behind Bitcoin. We want to unlock the potential of “Bitcoin 2.0″ for thousands of people, who will then create profitable businesses, as well use the technology to further the social good."

Sounds like fluff with little content, could mean anything.

The only usable info that I find on that page is:

"Counterparty provides open, secure financial tools and markets that do not require a trusted third party or middleman to use."

This is very encouraging but still a bit vague.

I will join their Forum as you suggest
