Does the Stacker News model work for games?

💯

Until we can figure out how we can "decentralize a lightning node" or receive to multiple receivers atomically, I think every system that wants to use proof of payments to fight spam will require centralization so the system can prove it was paid. While nostr is still figuring this part out (all pay-to-post relays are centralization vectors), I am not sure we can ever figure out how to build such decentralized systems.

you might want to look into @Tribyu, they are using bitcoin to fight cheating
