But most of crypto players know the concept of mining and subsidy, that's the point of this game.

Trust and security would always matter.

Correct, not all gamblers would be that too tech-savy which they will able understand easily on how these kind of game works.

The concept is so difficult to grasp that I rather just play good 'ol dice on some random betting site. The land, mining, height, landsecrets sounds too much fancier than a "dice-roll". Now you know why the gambling scene doesn't welcome new fancy games.

Someone will come into crypto gambling with a huge bankroll and act like pokerstars did when credit cards for depositing online was new and sketchy back in 2005.

The first mover to make every gambler know their crypto funds are secure and that being paid will never be a problem for customers, takes the majority of crypto gamblers.

Another side income on their part if thats the case which is a good idea but they should hold up those coins to make exchangers but not to underestimate new gambling sites, most of them do have that limited bankroll which means most of the time they dont have that capacity which they would end up on relying on those quick swap sites.

Gambling sites that hold BTC, BCH, ETH, LTC can do the swaps with zero fee, not that they do.

It would actually be a good business for someone. Cut the fee in half of what shapeshift would do, then do all the swaps for gambling sites that don't have solutions for this.

Then the players get lower fee than they normally would, a business gets small consistent customers for exchanges and the gambling site can target more customers.

Just faced up this new concept of mining game but until now im little bit confused and trying to figure it out but well i agree on most statements above.


Conversions would always require a fee and i dont see any gamblers would really be interested on that one.

Something is always better than nothing...but you are correct.

Why projects launch, then want to have love from bitcoin when doing nothing for bitcoin will always be a mystery.

They aren't "kind of the same," once you get into the altcoin realm it decreases the amount of potential customers dramatically.   

Sorry OP but this is the truth. While there is a growing Ethereum community of people who love to gamble ETH on smart contract games, that's still a niche that common and typical gamblers on this forum (like me!) won't really want to try. Most of our funds are in Bitcoin, and if we want to cash out, Bitcoin is the way.

This is after all a Bitcoin forum. The Shapeshift idea is okay too, but we lose funds just changing.

Very interesting yes, but as long as we're required to access via a wallet and on Ether, very few people from here will try it.

We will have a rinkeby version as faucet to allow user take a try...

No faucet, no bitcoin...no dice...

You should get shapeshift to handle swaps from BTC to ETH (like so many do) if want any love on the bitcointalk forum...

It does look interesting though, will give you that, just can't do anything with it.

Currently, only Eth and ERC20 tokens are supported, no bitcoin

If nobody can try the game without giving a random Ethereum address and sending tokens your way, it's going to be slowwww to start.

Why no Bitcoin option or faucet of some type?

What's LandSecrets
  LandSecrets is a blockchain smart contract based predicted mining game. You can buy one or more land(s) combined with future Ethereum height using token, and waits for
  the miner to dig at this block height. If a your land is mined successfully, you will get the reward tokens in your wallet.

What is the underlying mechanism of LandSecrets
  LandSecrets is based on Ethereum blockchain. Each land you bought has a secret number and mining height, all of which are recorded in blockchain via smart contract. If a
  miner, at this height, submits a block whose hash prefix matches your land secret number, then your land is determined mining successfully. LandSecrets built upon smart
  contract is open and impartial, scam and fraud are impossible.

What kind of lands are in LandSecrets
  You can buy any of 3 kinds of lands: Marginal land(0-F), Mid land(East, South, West, North), Rich land(Low, High) . These lands have different probability to find out the
  mineral: marginal land is 1/16, mid land is 1/4 and rich land is 1/2.

How to play LandSecrets
  First of all, you need have some ETH. Then from the HOME page, click START button to sign up the game through ETH token. After you enter the game, you can buy one or
  more land(s). Each of the lands is marked with a specific secret number and corresponding color, which will be used to determine if it has been mined successfully. Finally, you
  wait for the miner to dig your land at specific blockchain height, and if the height's secret number is same as your land, you win and get subsidy.

How to determine whether or not a land is mined successful
  The different land has different secret number, which will be used to compare with the prefix of block hash as following:
  • Rich land: "Low" represents block hash prefix 0-7, "High" represents block hash prefix 8-F.
  • Mid land: "North" represents block hash prefix 0-3, "West" represents block hash prefix 4-7, "South" represents block hash prefix 8-B, "East" represents block hash prefix C-
     F
  • Marginal land: Each land represents block hash prefix.
     For example, at height 5542400, the block hash is 0x27da85b***01892c46d, the prefix is 2. Alice purchased a "Low” which represents 0-7 including 2, so it is mined
     successfully. Bob purchased an "North "which represents 0-3 including 2, so it is mined successfully. Cindy purchased a "F", so it is mined failed.

How does LandSecrets wallet work, is it secure
  In the LandSecrets wallet page, it shows current wallet address. Click the "Export" button to export the wallet keystore content in order to prevent wallet from losing. Click
  "Logout" button to switch another address.
  ETH and Token can be sent out to other address in the wallet page. Just input the address and amount, then click "Send" button. A few amount of gas fee will be charged
  when sending succeed.
  LandSecrets wallet is very secure, the wallet and keystore are stored in your client only, it is never ever sent out anywhere.
