Topic: Play trustless rock paper scissors or RPSLS on the blockchain (Read 1247 times)
This is actually an amazing idea and it's such a simple idea as well that I wonder why I and many others did not think of this. I see this becoming quite popular as well so kudos to the creator of this.
I was discussing this idea with a mate a few months ago.
Well you should have done it. This is great. I love the game, from whenever I saw it in that show.
A lot of things can be done on/with the blockchain, people just need to let their imagination loose.
Especially feed based betting with full built-in escrow of the funds... I'm waiting for it to take off. Honestly. In Counterparty, anyone can create their own feed for the price of a BTC transaction fee, and anyone else can bet arbitrary XCP amounts which are stuck on the blockchain until the bet is resolved or expires.
Example; "Will BTC go over $1000 this year? y=1 n=2" with a value of -1 (so it doesn't resolve a bet), and then you post on the same feed with the resolution of the bet at the end of the year (either 1 or 2) or if it reaches $1000.
You can bet on ANYTHING this way. People just need to know that you are a reliable feed operator and wont report the wrong thing (you can charge a % fee for your services). CfDs are also supported, but there is a bug to iron out before they can go online again.
On github, I suggested implementing betting on block hashes directly (trustfree) as well, without a feed! This may appeal to the people who find RPS to be too much of a hassle..
For example (I am in no way shape or form connected to these sites, but you can check that they are reliable directly on the blockchain

Wow, the idea is very good.
I just try it, but they always say "No counterparty servers are currently available. Please try again later. ERROR: Request Time out."
Personally i want to try, but too bad.
I think this better than classic dice game

Where did you see that error? I think the servers were being updated. (The devs are constantly working on it, really, like 24/7.. haha)

That is awesome and I'll be trying it out myself so I can tell others what it is like. I think it would be nice to be able to explain how complex these coins are and something as simple as a rocks paper scissors game may be the example that makes a meaningful impression and sparks some interest. Thanks for sharing and I hope it catches on just like the original game.

This is pretty awesome. I very much enjoy the big bang theory and always laugh whenever they mention this game. I see a lot of potential for a lot of people playing this as it is likely a lot more fun then simple dice games.
Brilliant! I wish I thought of that.
Have you guys seen this? It's peer-to-peer RPS and RPSLS on the Bitcoin blockchain. (and supports bets on the outcome).
