I've read a lot about distrust and that makes me feel that, besides the lack of government oversight in BTC operations (something we probably find more appealing than discouraging), just as in the "formal" business world, a good way to protect your investment is "having your partner's balls grabbed", if you catch my drift.

Even thinking about reputable escrow services makes me feel dubious. But, case in point, in principle you have the escrow manager's balls grabbed by means of the reputation they aspire to maintain.

I have no thick wallet but hopefully anyone's ideas can help.

Anyhow, how about a game on this fertile topic (distrust in business). There might be potential for it, although I have not the slightest idea on how to structure a game about that.

As some free (hope not 'cheap' and useless) advice, I'll tell you about some game apps in general I've worked at (mainly translating captions).

- Managing a restaurant (something like SimRestaurant, if you will)
- All that kind of fancy RPGs mixed with isometric stuff, _perhaps_ featuring "buy more credits" with bitcoin, say, like that Simpsons game.
- Hey! how about Leisure Suite Lxrry comes to the land of bitcoin?

Oh, and I feel there's still so much to do for Bitcoin to be valued in Latam countries. Whenever you find games (likely to be in English first) suitable for a Spanish speaking market, you might want to consider me as your provider for translation. You stress a lot on how to make viral the app, I have not done much of that myself, but I could always learn of how this is done with this project.

[ I commented on the fun Simpsons app, and I'd like to say I definitely did not translate that app! It's not that good to my taste, but hey, that happens when translators use to many region-specific terms]

Buenas noches, y felices juegos!
