Ahoy Stacker News Crew,

We be thrilled to hoist the Jolly Roger on the alpha version of Lightning Liar’s Dice. This here game be sailing the high digital seas, 100% decentralized and serverless, charting its course entirely on nostr. All wagers now be made through the swiftness of the Lightning Network!

Beware, ye might encounter some scurvy bugs! Should ye spot any, let us know posthaste!

How we navigated to this treasure
We've marooned the concept of the house and charted a course for a player-dealer model, where one of the crew takes on the role of the dealer.

This dealer be the captain of the game, tasked with steering the ship, holding the bets in their treasure chest, and dispensing the loot to the victors. Trust in your dealer be as important as a sturdy ship, so we advise playing amongst a crew ye trust. Yet, fear not, for we’ve plotted additional maps to ensure fair winds and honest play.

The dealer sets sail by starting a room, from whence they can spy on the game to ensure all hands are on deck and then distribute the spoils to the rightful winner.

For their troubles, the dealer claims a 20% share of the treasure as their own.

In due time, we'll be setting this code free to sail the open source seas, once it's weathered a few more storms.

We be askin' ye, our fine community
Please drop yer messages in a bottle (or this thread) for feedback and inquiries. The crew behind the helm will be keeping a watchful eye on this thread, ready to patch up the ship or adjust the sails based on the winds of community support.

And what be Liar’s Dice, ye ask? We reckon these two moving pictures tell the tale best. Give 'em a look-see:
