RE: The Time Is Now
Can you do a post on this idea? It's amazing, but how would a game get created without someone owning it per se?

I've done several... I guess I should start grouping my gaming posts in a clump.
Basically I want to see a real dapp, where there is no server running the game.
Every player is responsible for running their own game node.
You basically download every block, throw away what you don't need, and use the rest to run the game.
We probably need some kind of block torrenting system to implement this so everyone can get the blocks in a decentralized way.

Ah, sorry, I actually meant from a design, coding, artwork point of view. I'm sure we could leverage Steem post payouts to incentivize the game artwork, Utopian.io to help with the code, even DAO to make decisions... but you'd still need someone to own it to call the shots and make sure it's not a crazy random mess... or at least own the domain URL.
Oh the funding part.
I think the funding and development should be decentralized as well. The game starts out as an empty shell but gets developed by the community through a bounty system.
Do Bitcoin or Ethereum need someone to call the shots so it's not a crazy random mess? That's just the way decentralization is. It's hard to get consensus, but it's worth it.
No, I guess not. They both had someone design the system, but I guess Satoshi or Vitalik don't really own their respective systems.
I wonder if something like Towerfall could work like this... someone designs the overall rules, and then the crowd creates characters, mobs and levels that get included if they get enough votes or whatever... I'm going to think more on this...
That's my vision. I want to create skeletons and have them filled in by the community.
The future of decentralization in one comment.
Kudos!
