Pawn (chess piece) | Breaking bitcoin by playing chess

Hello World,

Link with what, why and how: https://gist.github.com/prayank23/22763f48199ed106e59801be43ad4efc

Two related things that I found:

1.Koala Studio tried chess on LN in 2019 but shutdown in August 2019 2.Etleneum still has chess but works differently

Primary goal of this project can be different and focus on testing Bitcoin transactions. Secondary goal is to have fun and contribute in increasing demand for block space. Maybe an app for developers to play chess, friendly competitions, learn and share new things.

If chess sounds boring it can be replaced with any 2 player game that works for such setup and can be played with patience over few hours/days.

Spam? Sorry zero fee transactions do not work anymore. In fact, nothing below 1 sat/vbyte fee rate would work and all transactions will pay fees that are required long term. OP_RETURN is used by many projects and excluded from UTXO set. Let me know if something looks wrong. I won't be working on this as busy with another project and recently started contributing in Wasabi.

The frivolous use of block space - ie. to increase the demand for block space - is not encouraged. Although it is possible you may write chess moves on a wrap of dollar bills and send them to your friends, nowhere that I know of has this been recorded in a ledger as a valid past time.

Can you share the email address to get approval or permission for this type of bitcoin transactions? i.e. opening and closing of LN channels or OP_RETURN. I will keep that in Cc next time.

I can write chess moves on a dollar bill and send to my friends but it does not solve any of the problems. Bitcoin's blockchain or ledger is for transactions. As long as a transaction is valid, standard and paying fees nobody should have issues with what is being achieved with the transaction.

Thanks
