Re: Bitcoin RPS | Earn bitcoins by playing rock paper scissors

Concept is good but it looks like you need some correction on design.
I think house edge is 5% Shocked

Which is pretty high. It seems you have already got few active players. Idea of lottery also sound interesting. Good luck, i will try your site soon.

I hope you'll enjoy

House edge at freebitco.in is also 5%

I am planning to lower the commission rate in the future.

Lower it now, to 1% or lower. You don't need a high house edge since it's a PvP game, and you don't risk anything. Right now, it's better to play dice or a RPS dice skin with a lower house edge right now, if people want a better chance at making a profit.

Currently I'm working on provably fair system but in a system where random numbers are not generated it seems quite difficult to achieve. I will add it to the site as soon as I solve the problem. If you have trust issues, you can play games created by others for the time being

A page you can play against the computer with betting will also be added in the near future. Tournament sounds interesting, I will also think about this.

This requires both players to be online the entire time, but you could have the client send a hash of the outcome to the website when they play a match.

Example: Player starts a game, and sends the string below as a hash to the server

Code:

rock|randomstringbruteforceproof102iskdhkfhxkjhskzdkdjhsjkdhk123

Player challenges him, and sends a similar string to the site. The site than sends both strings to the client, where it is recorded client side for future verification. Now that both parties have the hash, they each give up the unhashed string which is verified by the site that it is the correct string before awarding the winner. Not sending the string within X time, giving a wrong string or disconnecting would cause you to lose.

Thanks for suggestion

I am trying to solve the problem without changing the concept. I will probably give the right to change the choice of the person who creates the game after player 2 plays. I do not want the game to be real-time.

Btw, now you can play by betting against the computer!

And It's provably fair. Also, house edge is 1%. The bet amount has been kept fixed for now (5000 satoshi). I will also allow you to enter your own bet amount in the future. Click here to check it. Your ideas and suggestions are always welcome
