Helldivers is finally available for the Xbox crowd and I’m immediately hooked. It’s chaotic and hilarious in all the best ways

Spending my Saturday with some games, new Battlefield 6 Beta is getting a lot of hype so I’ve got a stream going if you want to check it out

This game is such a power trip, and that ending 🤌🏻

I’ve always done stealth/netrunner but guess I’m playing again to give this a try

I don’t have the words for how much I despise these vultures

Beautiful, I had my fingers crossed something like this was out there. Pretty complete front end we’d only need minor changes

I could probably explain it better, but in my head I’m picturing the ecash being “settled” upon the end of each hand.  The system can automatically transfer the ecash to the winning seat so by the time the next hand starts all funds are technically settled, allowing players to quickly come and go and no losing player can runoff with funds 

Sure! This is the aspect I’ve spent the most time thinking on. 

Existing games with lightning integration work very well and they are reliable, but it requires some central entity running a lightning node to handle deposits, escrow, and withdrawals when the game is over. The big problem with this is legally that entity is considered the “host” effectively running in an unlicensed gambling operation. I set out with a goal of decentralizing further than that so no single person would be liable. Also this would remove a need for a rake of the game, as far as I’m concerned it could run on donations. 

Ecash offers some unique possibilities. Tokens can be transferred through any medium even offline. So I was envisioning a system where when you deposit your ecash tokens into the app, you receive chips and sit down to play. In the background your ecash tokens didn’t really go anywhere. They’re just represented as chips and then are transferred between seats as the game is played.

If this works out the way I imagine, there is no central repository holding funds for the game. The tokens are temporarily stored within the game while you play and then you can take them when you’re done or even leave them in your game wallet for next time

😂 definitely have more experience there than with code

Absolutely! I can admit a lot of this is over my head, I’m great at mapping out ideas but when it comes time to build I’m not the best choice.

I’m going to continue exploring the concept, but I have already thought of a question for you.

At this point are we able to build this in a way that the players at a table wouldn’t all have to be using the same mint? Another workable idea was table specific mints if we needed all players on one mint, but I have a passing knowledge of ecash so I’m unsure

This is why I need you guys, lots of UX stuff I haven’t considered. The examples puzzl laid out would work pretty well, feel like most UI decisions we can steal.

The ecash aspect is a trade off and I see the merit in both paths. If we stick with lightning its established and more reliable to integrate at this time, but the node runner would be labeled as the “host” and face legal risk for running an unlicensed gambling operation. The big benefit with ecash being we have a better chance of structuring in a way that no individual has to take on that burden

Good stuff that hasn’t even crossed my mind yet. The shuffling component is difficult but seems solvable, however other aspects of cheating like simple player collusion I have no solution for yet.

Currently best I can imagine is a “good faith” game with people you know. Private invite only tables can help but if playing with randoms there would need to be other solutions

😂 great minds I guess

Yeah surprised me with this much interest so I’m going to keep exploring

We can make you the poker version of the halo multiplayer voice

I thought the same, sometimes you have an idea that just feels right

This is impressive, lot of it is over my head but looking into more detail

Planning to set aside some time this week to see what I can figure out. Trying to manage expectations though, I’m no a code expert so I’ll need others to contribute and/or it will be highly vibe coded

Been kicking around this idea for a while to create a desktop p2p app replicating the lightning-poker.com site experience (with a few upgrades like private tables, optional names etc). I’ve got most of it mapped in my head, plenty of hurdles but it feels solvable.

Basic vision: a desktop app using p2p bittorrent style swarms to sync the game state. Provable fair shuffling using commit-reveal hash functions. Could even experiment integrating ecash to avoid a need for a lightning node to take deposits. Ecash tokens represented as chips immediately change ownership with each hand, removing any party holding funds during the game.

It’s a fun thought experiment but don’t hold back, tell me what I’m missing. Maybe I can refine this into a project worth pursuing.

P.S lightning-poker team you’ve done great running this site for years. I mean no offense or ill will while exploring this idea

I’ve explored a little in the past. I’m not 100% against, they’ve got a good rep. But making an email account and wasting sats for onchain transactions is just enough friction to annoy me.

I’ve toyed with the idea before, but I might start modeling a purely p2p upgrade for lightning poker
