I'm a dime billionaire. 4.2 billion. Just picked them up recently. What can I do to help the community? I was thinking about starting a dime casino, or maybe a retro mmorpg, or dime arcade. I am a programming enthusiast and I could sure use a project to work on while the value of the dime recovers.

they all sound good, I guess something simple to start with, but I'm not sure what is simple in programming terms ...

I thought of a Ponzi, but you need a constant string of people to invest or it dies immediately.

Anything has to give the house a good edge, otherwise we're stuffed.

:-)

Really, if you have any ideas, get back to me.

I'm not sure about the ponzi thing, maybe an affiliat program, or investment like you can do with just-dice.com.

The casino would probably be the easiest, no re-inventing the wheel, dice, roulette, blackjack, video poker, multiplayer poker... They have already been built, just need to adapt them to dime. There may even be open source stuff out there I can use.

Easy is good, but I would like a bigger challenge... Like an rpg/mmorpg or perhaps a card dueling game, where dime is the in-game currency. Would be neat if you could buy stuff or sell stuff in game and make actual dime deposits and withdrawls from within the game. It would be nice to build something a little bit unique.

If you would like to do something like that it would be appreciated. I hadn't even heard of the concepts "rpg/mmorpg" or "card dueling game". But just googled them, and they're interesting concepts.

The best would be to do what inspires you and would be interesting to other people.

Casinos are kind of dated now, so I understand you might prefer something more challenging.

Break a leg, and if you can come up with something which adds value for development and associated costs, then you should of course be compensated.
