Topic: Bored in Quarantine? -- help test Saito boardgames and Open Leaderboard System. (Read 111 times)

Until now, that never crossed my mind, but its indeed a great idea. Knowing that the a game or a gamble is not rigged would be a great game changer in the future, and being the blockchain public, there will be always a way to know if there is something shaddy happening. Perhaps in the future, this will be the norm and any system now using it would be not trustworthy.

Thanks for coming and checking out Saito, Dark.

And -- yeah -- I'm really happy with the speed of the games. Especially for deals.

In the future it's going to seem totally absurd that anyone ever gambled significant money on casino websites where they couldn't prove that the deal was fair. Or that the other players were even human....

It's really thrilling to see this type of applications to the blockchain, that is what got me interested on your project, i hope there are more way to implement this tecnology into gaming.
I also love that there is always people hanging out there and whiling to play, because for example Twilight Struggle in other platforms every game is way slower, both are made to be async, but on your site the games are fast and in real time even if are with people that you found randomly  .

So the Saito Arcade (https://saito.io/arcade) is up to five or six playable, multi-player board games (chess, wordblocks, twilight struggle, thirteen days, scotland yard), all of which run directly in the browser. Sharing as if anyone here is bored in quarantine and unsure of why on-chain gaming is going to crush closed-source companies like Steam really encourage you guys to drop by and see what is happening. Feedback and suggestions on ways to improve are both very, very welcome.

For those who haven't heard of Saito, you'll see it is very different from most of the "gaming" projects in the blockchain space -- there is no shilling of digital assets or convincing people to purchase tokens: people actually mine tokens while playing the games (the network is rewarding fee-paying users on a diminishing curve). The blockchain is primarily a PKI network with cryptographic techniques like "mental poker" used to shuffle cards and ensure that gameplay is provably fair, while all moves are cryptographically-signed and sequentially posted on-chain so that it is impossible to cheat (third-party modules can auto-track player performance and generate provably fair competitive rankings or handle escrow situations).

For those interested in the more traditional blockchain metrics, Saito itself is up to about 15k daily transactions and growing quite rapidly -- looking like we will surpass BCH sometime later this summer. Hope to see some of you guys on the Arcade!
