Re: Bookie - Sports Betting Exchange on the Blockchain Wants Your Input
Will Bookie ever have the ability to crowd-fund matches/games? For example, in the MMA sub-culture, there are many groups of different disciplines interested in who would win a match between two non-professionals, but there is no easy way to crowdfund these fights (and bet on them). There is no incentive for fighters to risk injury on an exhibition match, but they would if money was on the line.
Crowdfunding could bring together many other different matches or games (sport & non-sport) that would otherwise not happen.
*Even better if there were tools for promoters to use so they could get a cut for raising the money.
Seems like a natural fit for Bookie to pioneer the first crowd-funded & betting capabilities...

Re: Bookie - Sports Betting Exchange on the Blockchain Wants Your Input
OP, do you really need censorship resistance and go through the inefficiencies of the blockchain only to set up a sports betting exchange? What is the value proposition of this idea and what difference does it make if I use a regulated counterpart of your service that accepts Bitcoins and altcoins?
Hi Wind_FURY, good questions.
Some of the key reasons for us building Bookie on top of a blockchain (well, not any old blockchain, it's the Peerplays blockchain, which is built specifically for gaming and betting apps):
- Provably fair - All source code for Bookie will be available on Github. No secrets.
- Real-time transparency - All Bookie bets published on a public ledger in real-time. No more doubts or arguments about what bet was or was not made, what the stakes were, for how much, etc.
The same can be achieved by your centralized counterparts, so there is no added value in using a blockchain there. You will also for sure have problems with scaling some time in the future, unless your solution is not to have a large userbase. But how would you attempt to solve that if you do?

- Decentralization - assuming posters here see the benefits of a decentralized currency
... we think there are similar upsides to bringing decentralization to sports betting. And a betting exchange (P2P) is a great fit for decentralization, as opposed to a sportsbook/house model which is de facto centralized.
Regarding censorship-resistance in sports betting, this could be seen to have value for someone who finds themselves in a situation where such censorship is practiced.
Hope that answers your questions!
I could see some benefits of censorship resistance in your service. A good example of it would be if you are running an illegal and unlicensed P2P betting exchange. Are you running one?
Graphene / DPoS / Peerplays have no problem scaling.

Re: [ANN] Peerplays - First Ever Blockchain-Based Gaming Platform
Jacob,
Your LI chats have made several things very clear:
- Jonathan was very professional and cordial with you despite your disposition (you called him "Hitler")
- You have a subjective bias for Neil and drew conclusions based on <5% of the picture
- You do not realize that Graphene can process 1000x more TPS than Ethereum at a fraction of the cost
- Your business acumen is dubious based on your question "why do you need more money?"
- You lied to Jonathan three 3x about keeping the conversation private
- You get "quite excited" over posting FUD
These conversations only strengthen confidence that Bunker Chain Labs is the right company to develop PeerPlays. Your behavior on the other hand is belligerent. The social jury is in - and the verdict is that this is common internal progression that occurs during organizational growth. Good luck to all parties and may the awesome power of Graphene blockchains be fully realized.

Re: [ANN] Peerplays - First Ever Blockchain-Based Gaming Platform
If I read the update correctly... the software development is on schedule? That is an amazing feat in-and-of it'self.

Re: [ANN] Peerplays - First Ever Blockchain-Based Gaming Platform
I like the idea, but WAY too expensive. You are basically looking to raise see funding for a valuation of over $4 million dollars.
hey moron, what do you have to say now
Measured skepticism is reasonable for any new business venture due to the small sample size. The sample size will grow favorably as the PPL team continues to deliver on schedule. I think the growth is just getting started.
Re: [ANN] Peerplays - First Ever Blockchain-Based Gaming Platform
I keep reading people claim this project is an "overvalued idea". What they must not realize is that Peerplays is already 80% developed, since they are using Graphine as their platform.
It's like they have a jet engine (Graphine), and they are going to put wings on it. And every other crypto group is tinkering with the steam engine. Just my 2-cents.
