hey, the idea was based on a centralized version; however the problem is that the gov would take it down and put me in jail.
so i'm thinking about a decentralized p2p version which has not few technical problems, that i'm trying to solve;
however this is not what the post is about.
think about a game 1v1 where you and someone are fighting with guns and fortnite-like builds in a 16x16 grid; both you and your opponent stake an ammount of money ($1 each or 2 doge each or X btc each etc), you make N rounds, who wins takes all.
in a decentralized version in would be easy to fight against cheating, the authoritative server would be very careful in this and the competitive version of the game (the version where you can play with money) would be accessible only via a strong verification pass (like iban verification). which would make cheater extremely rare and absolutely easy to fight against, since every match provides a "report" tool to the players.
the reported matches would be watched carefully by a human and evaluated.
now my ideas to avoid legal troubles are:
* make this as a p2p protocol game, no report tool would be available, the game would use a trustless proof based model, like the proof of work of bitcoin, but for game mechanics instead. (and by the way users would be unsafe when playing with random players because of MITM problems related to exposing your own ip)
* make my own coin (or use tether-like tokens) and keep the centralized version (which would be way easier to do and probably also somewhat legal)

also to keep hidden cheats very rare (hidden cheats are cheat that cannot be discovered by an authoritative server) for example wallhack and aimbot (in majority solved by the report tool when very noticable) would be relieved by:
* a builtin chill wallhack in the game (a dot which indicates the oppenent so you don't install wallhacks, the simplicity of the game makes wallhacks useless)
* low firing rate
* headshots make the same damage as bodyshots
>>
someone please say what you think about this and eventual problems you can see, please don't be so stupid to think this wouldn't work for too many reasons, because world doesn't work like this;
also about a legal perspective, i think this would work for the first period, tether is a bank without a license so i don't see why i would be a problem at this point and eventually i would create my own small crypto, and when even that would be a problem i would try to make this a p2p game with some trick and some limitation
>>
good luck making your game anon
