Alright Jow Forums, Bog The Builder here and I'm ready to build us a dApp. Experienced with JS/Solidity and can pretty much build whatever as long as the logic makes sense.
So what are we building? Include your eth wallet address in your reply and if your contribution to the dApp gets included I'll include your address as part of the split for whenever eth gets withdrawn from the contract of the dApp. I'll make a pre-set list of addresses that will automatically receive equal split of whatever the dApp brings in.
So what are we thinking, a collectibles with a ponzi element maybe?
A gambling site where users are matched with each other and roll dices.

There isn't already a ton of these? If not, that should be real simple to make

where did ya manage to learn solidity and the corresponding js library? my only source was cryptozombies.
maybe a site where people bet on the price of various cryptos. the bets are collected into a pool and the person who guessed the closest price gets the money
Easton Martin
I guess, but aren't most of them about betting against the house?
Ethan Howard
Actually started with cryptozombies as well, also most of the blog posts about crypto on medium have been helpful. Besides that just googling every time I ran into something that I wasn't sure how to do usually lead to a stackexchange post that had someone asking something similar. Have made a few gambling dapps, some random utility ones, and am finishing up a collectibles that I've been working on for a few weeks now.
Hoping to get something going that will actually turn a decent profit though, get some funds to support my dapp designing endeavors until some hotshot tech company throws a boatload of money at me to build them something I'm underqualified to create
Josiah Green
I'm not sure actually, you're probably right though because it turns a better profit I'm sure when you've got a house edge. I like the idea of the house being hands-off though. Maybe a few different ways to stake bets against other players and just charge a sign-up fee to get access to the games.

the problem is as far as I know there's no way right now to fetch outside data into the contract. you can import data by using an ownable external function but it's not "trustless". a lot of interesting app ideas would have to use external data..
Michael Gray
Yeah, decentralized oracles seem to be one of the big drawbacks right now. It's definitely a main factor that hinders a good amount of my ideas, Oraclize is pretty decent though, and seems to work for small things like pulling a random number from Wolfram alpha or the UTC time, but I haven't found many other uses for it (especially considering only the first call is free). So I've just been trying to design things that function fully on-chain and don't rely on pulling outside data, until there's a widely-accepted solution

oraclize n shieet. Dead easy for simple calls but it costs money. I've started meddling with this stuff and it's actually so easy to get a handle on if you have the 'traditional' programming experience. For simple games and stuff you're gonna be spending a lot more time on the pretty website than anything else.
