The next most interesting request for Ditto shall be implemented. What is your wish? :ditto_pkmn:
Oren ☂️ #BIP-128 profile picture
A website for making simple bets among friends.
Trust-based - not Polymarket for the entire world.
Admin will create a new page with a title, description and optionally an image. For example "World Cup 2026 Winner".
Then the admin will add options to bet on, i.e. France, Argentina, Brazil...
Other users could zap the note and the zap message should include the option number they selected and a lightning-adress to which they want to recieve the prize if won (could be taken from their profile, if set).
At some point the Admin could close the bets.
Then the UI should allow the Admin to select the winning bet, and show an invoice to the wallet of each winner, proportional to their betting size.

This is not a full gambling website, so no winning ratio is promised in advance. Users could see the bets that were placed before them, for estimation.

Other configurations could be:
- Encrypt all the data, so only users who are given a specific link could see the details (the encryption key could be in the URL)
- Max number of bets, max bet size: UI should block users from adding bets when this limits are reached.
- Whether each user can place multiple bets (even though nothing prevents them from making multiple Nostr users)
- Create local nsec - for noobs who don't have Nostr yet.
- Admin fee - should be above zero, otherwise the Admin will lose money on fees.

Again, this is trust-based website among friends for small bets. Admin could obviously just take the money and run away.
