Developed by Portuguese Joao Almeida (João Almeida) has established Poketoshi — platform-emulator on the basis of Lightning Network (LN), which can be used to play the classic edition of Pokemon.
The principle of operation Poketoshi similar to Twitch Plays Pokemon: the gameplay is broadcast using streaming services, and the management are bound to commands that users type into the chat box using the “controller”. Almeida demonstrated the mechanics in his Twitter:
For each team shall be charged 10 Satoshi or one hundred millionth BTC. For payment processing, the platform uses OpenNode — processor transactions in bitcoin on the basis of Lightning. As writes The Next Web, the framework is not an optimization of the original games and are intended only to demonstrate the practical value of the Lightning Network.
The game reflected the cultural characteristics of the bitcoin community. So, a Twitter user under the nickname bittoq shared the record of victory in battle against an enemy character, BCASH. This episode is a kind of reference to the rivalry between adherents of LN and Bitcoin Cash: some argue that hardwork BTC is much better coped with the scalability problem than the Lightning Protocol.
Have Poketoshi has a few competitors. So, the developer known as LightningK0ala, created on the basis of the Lightning Network an open drawing Board; another project sweetbit, LN uses to process payments in the vending machine candy.
