Woot, you never know when the best great idea comes into bitcoin Cheesy

Did you send the Spanish Police a complaint about Bitcoinica on the toilet as well?

nope, I left that one "float" around

@OP how would you interface with bitcoin ?

This? http://www.rifttag.com/rift-laser-tag-software

This is awesome.

Edit: Actually, come to think of it, wouldn't places like laser-tag arenas and Chuck E' Cheeses be the perfect place for a Bitcoin business?

Imagine if you walked into a Chuck E' Cheese-like venue and all the games required tokens to play (including laser tag). What kind of tokens? Bitcoins! This would be a perfect place for a Bitcoin card -- just swipe it at all the games to play and the game automatically subtracts the Bitcoins from the card. The kids can still win lousy tickets Grin

Business venture, anyone?

Yep, I'm in. I'm going to approach Chuck E' Cheese with the idea tomorrow. I’ll tell them I want to use an unregulated currency that has inferred ties to the SR drug trade as money for children to play with at their arcades. I’ll also have them visit this forum to learn about the currency. LOL

I mean I'd make my own.

Maybe Chucky Busters needs some competition.

I prefer to call it the “reading room.”

i work from home a lot so have a dedicated room set up as an office, so your 'reading room' is what's known in my house as 'the small office' to distinguish it from the main one.

i like the OP's idea by the way... i've never got into laser tag because there's not enough feedback for me... meaning i much prefer the sting of a paintball than the 'oh gosh darn you tagged me with a beam of light'.

Seriously, wouldn’t this idea be gambling and require special regulation or are you thinking about a group of friends with modified vests?

No such modification needed. The vests hook up to scoretracking software, so you'd just make a plugin to that software to payout btc based on the score at the end of the game.

But if we did this, only nerds would play laser tag.... oh wait.

nicee, so rift could learn json-rpc somehow and talk directly to the bitcoin daemon or you escrow the coins before the game starts. That way you make all the coin movements internally and keep the interfacing with bitcoind to a minimum.

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending

Guess where I was sitting the whole time I penned this: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/foursquare-on-rails-64692

The idea was conceived a couple days earlier on the same seat. Guess where I am as I type this post. Now, only if Bill Zucker hadn't stole my TP, I would be in good shape.

I disagree with his actions too, but is it beneficial to bring this up in wholly unrelated threads?

Two words: Bitcoin Lasertag.

Imagine it. Whether playing as an individual or as part of a team, the whole premise is exactly the same as regular laser tag, but with much higher stakes.

Shooting someone with your laser would initiate a Bitcoin transfer from the tagged to the tagger or the tagger's team (depending on whether it's a solo or team game).

For example:
.1 BTC for shots in the stomach or back
.3 BTC for shots on the shoulders
.5 BTC for a barrel shot

How fucking cool would this be? Obviously there'd need to be some regulations to make sure people can't tag others before or after the game starts. But, I would totally own all of you Grin

TMI on where you developed the idea dude. I hope you wash your hands before you touch your gun.

I would definitely be up for a game and I know I wouldn’t borrow your laptop to transfer coins. Grin

The thread title was meant to allude to the profundity of my idea.

Edit: I backup my wallet on the john, too.
