Today it's possible to bet on anything, from weather to the next US president. But would it be possible to bet on Bitcoin price or on any other major crypto-currency price, like Dash, Doge, Ethereum or Litecoin ? With big price movements of Bicoin these past days it could be interesting
.
You can try
https://preevbtc.club and help our project. It started few days ago and is still in development
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.12748052yah i also just saw the thread that is being push up. it is exactly what the OP is talking about.
The only problem that we see atm, to be a real BET it must be quick to pay (if won). In case of prices of currencies/crypto, its hard to be done like that way, because we have different times zones and if the bet is for the same day, you will see a lot of people betting around 23:30 till 23:59. That cant happen.
You can solve this problem by organising bets on a day at UTC. Using the "middle" timezone can be the solution because anyone can access it easily. Anyone would normally know in which timezone he is. It's generally called -7 or +9, so you just have to do the inverse math to know what time it is in the UTC timezone.
Yes, we are working in a solution something like that
. For i.e, if a user picked a price and he is in UTC +2, so UTC +2 in the next 24h will be his closing price. We have another solution, but we are still trying to see if is good for this.
By now, while working, we will keep the website like it was atm. Anyway, we have some SCRT users playing.
Also we working in a light design to attract more users. Right now, we only have SCRT users and not bitcoin users (only 0.05 btc volume). We know that our design and automation is still poor but we are working hard to get a better platform. We will also change API very soon.
If we set up all well, it could be an interesting platform. Let's see... important is to keep working.
