I was thinking of hacking together an on-chain Bitcoin gambling game. It would be very similar to SatoshiDice (https://www.satoshidice.com/), except use Bitcoin instead of BCH. It would use the same provably fair scheme (Server seed hash is published on chain, then revealed ~3 days later). I think it would be cool if there was no website and it operated entirely on chain. You could send to one of 10 addresses at any time, each address corresponds to the odds you want to play.

Do you like the idea? Open to comments or suggestions.

There is a lot of games like this already implemented on Ethereum and other networks. The mechanism is called smart contracts and can be programmed with Solidity language (in the case of Eth). Not sure if Bitcoin blockchain in its current state is ready for it, but if it is, Miniscript would probably be the way to go.

Imho you'll probably need a website at least to give some info about how to play.
