Been kicking around this idea for a while to create a desktop p2p app replicating the lightning-poker.com site experience (with a few upgrades like private tables, optional names etc). I’ve got most of it mapped in my head, plenty of hurdles but it feels solvable.

Basic vision: a desktop app using p2p bittorrent style swarms to sync the game state. Provable fair shuffling using commit-reveal hash functions. Could even experiment integrating ecash to avoid a need for a lightning node to take deposits. Ecash tokens represented as chips immediately change ownership with each hand, removing any party holding funds during the game.

It’s a fun thought experiment but don’t hold back, tell me what I’m missing. Maybe I can refine this into a project worth pursuing.
