Developers cannot program smart contracts on hive engine that is the problem.

When VSC rolls out, what you propose could be viable.

Right, there is a need for some kind of smart contract capability. We're getting closer to this becoming a reality.

Once we have that, I am hopeful the development will explode as devs has more access to what they need.

Another 4-6 months perhaps.

I thought that Hive Engine already has smart contracts. Literally this is what is written on its website: "Create Tokens + Smart Contracts on the Hive Blockchain".

Been thinking about this for a little bit like others. Did some betting things back in the days. There was a prediction market with PalNet if I recall correctly, but it didn't catch on. Some day. :)

I like betting but with limits so we don't let people go broke because of an addiction. maybe you can only enter a lotto or lose a specific amount before being cut off
