Topic: [ETH]-Dapps ? (Read 540 times)

A bidding mechanism for Steam games or digital codes or an auction would be great. Or if charities have an immutable address for eth one could start a charity box dapp.

It was the little harsh but personally I would have screwed the two ponziers harder than you would. You should have made this a self moderated topic. Cheers

That game has fees (initialized at 1%, I haven't checked to see if that's changed) so I wouldn't exactly call it a zero-sum game, but it does look like an interesting game, and a quick look at the contract doesn't raise any obvious red flags.

A well-designed website definitely makes things more interesting, not to mention making it easier for someone with a less technical background to play. The game you linked literally just gives the JSON ABI and instructions for playing from MyEtherWallet. A website, maybe with lightwallet built-in so you can connect to any public RPC node, would make it a lot easier to play. Me personally, I can play from the geth console.. but I don't really consider that user-friendly.

Thanks for your good answer sir, i'll look onto your suggestions.
You talked about zero-sum games. I created a simple gambling dapp https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/eth-parallel-gambling-bet-01-eth-1-eth-5-eth-in-a-3-players-game-1449325, not advertising, but what do you think of that?
Do you find it funny? appealing? Risky?
Do you think a shiny and really well design website would make things more interesting?

Thanks

Well that was a little harsh.. but yeah, you specifically mentioned disinterest from ponzis and other scams, so of course the spammers had to come in and post their ponzis on your thread. I can see the appeal if you get in at the beginning, but if you look at any of these active ponzi contracts running on Ethereum right now and actually look at their data (on ether.camp) you'll see that if you invest now it'll take hundreds more ether invested before you have a chance of getting paid. I don't see the appeal of waiting that long for a potential 120%-150% ROI.

Gambling games might be interesting, but only if it's a zero-sum game. If I want to play with a house edge, there's a brick-and-mortar casino about a half hour drive from here (and I quite enjoy the atmosphere of a brick-and-mortar casino, I love all the lights and sounds.. plus they have buildings to maintain and employees to pay, so I don't mind giving them their house edge when I play there).

I'd love to see more games based on the idea of a RanDAO (examples: https://github.com/randao/randao and https://github.com/MakerDAO/maker-darts ). I think there's potential there for the "house" to make a profit off of a zero-sum game, by also operating a "random oracle" service to sell random numbers to other contracts. Some of the fees from the oracle service could even go into the prize pool for each round, making the game better than zero-sum for the players.

edit: I think something based on maker-darts would be especially interesting, since it deals with tokens instead of ether, and as far as I can tell the plan is to eventually replace ether (as it exists now) with a precompiled token contract at address 0. For now, you can use ether as a token with a simple token proxy contract.

Go fuck yourselves guys.


losoya, you make me want to finish you on the ground.

Pyramids are shits, look what huntingIsland created and TheGreedPit, they are far better than any shit you could create from you greedy brain.

I think my DAPP is pretty solid:

It has the potential to make ETH holders pretty rich. Multiplying by x10 is pretty attractive.

Hey guys,


looking at the disinterest from ponzis and other scams,...


Are you guys still interested in some Dapps, gambling, fun things?

The Dapp potential is real, so my question is : what do you, USERS, want to see? Gambling? Websites? More proofs about security of contracts?

Thanks
