Show HN: WebRTC Poker

I was hoping someone had found and implemented a practical Mental Poker algorithm, since webrtc is p2p, and you usually don&#x27;t want to have to trust the other parties in a p2p system.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_poker" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Mental_poker</a>

What shuffling algorithm do you use?<p>Here&#x27;s a description of a very solid one: <a href="http://www.briggsoft.com/docs/pmavens/Technical_Shuffling.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.briggsoft.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;pmavens&#x2F;Technical_Shuffling.ht...</a><p>Here&#x27;s an example of what can happen if you do it wrong: <a href="http://www.cigital.com/papers/download/developer_gambling.php" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cigital.com&#x2F;papers&#x2F;download&#x2F;developer_gambling.ph...</a>

Thanks to all those sitting and playing against me! Its been so much fun chatting with you all. I will keep creating games until 5pm Pacific time, so feel free to join and play me! My username is ziebac.

As an avid poker player, I think this is a neat idea for a lot of casual live players to get into online play.

have you posted this to 2p2? Feel like they would be very receptive to a version of this game that could allow for bitcoin and potentially other wagering

Small comment: I was slightly confused by the new game form.<p>I assumed that your watermarked values were defualts (which i was happy with) .... so didn&#x27;t change them, then couldn&#x27;t work out why the create game button was disabled.

&gt; Can bitflop games be monitored or recorded?<p>The answer to this may be a little misleading. There&#x27;s nothing really stopping anyone from recording their own screen (which includes the opponent&#x27;s video broadcast).

I can hear my own sounds (voice, clicking, etc), is there a way to disable that?

Do you have some links that helped you get started with the whole WebRTC setup? I watched the google i&#x2F;o talk on WebRTC (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2HzZkd2A40&amp;hd=1" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=p2HzZkd2A40&amp;hd=1</a>) but it&#x27;s still a mystery to me how to implement STUN and ICE, which they didn&#x27;t go over in the talk. Some SaaS services are popping up but I&#x27;d like to know if you did this all from scratch and what resources you used.

How would one go about implementing a distributed poker system where one could not cheat?

Do you accept bitcoins?

If anyone wants to play me :) <a href="https://bitflop.me/game/play/62" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bitflop.me&#x2F;game&#x2F;play&#x2F;62</a>

Is this just 1v1? How many people could this scale to?

Does this use bitcoin or something?

This is pretty awesome!

Crazy mic feedback :(
