⚡️DailyZap: P2P Self-Custodial Wagering!!!👏🚀
@THNDRGAMES unveiled a new banger in the world of Lightning gaming last week! Picture it: you can now play against another user, wagering sats on the outcome of the game, but without the game developer taking custody of the funds at any time. Pretty sweet, innit?
The user experience is pretty simple: you sign up on the clinch.gg/ website, link a Lightning Address, and a ''start a new game'' with an attached stake (right now, players can wager 100, 1K or 10K sats). Pass the game's link to your friend to let them join. Each player will be asked to pay an invoice of the amount at stake (say 100 sats) before the game can begin. The invoice pays the other player, but going through THNDR's node, and isn't settled right away.
At the end of the game, the invoice that pays the winner is settled, while the invoice paying the loser is simply canceled. In other words, the winner gets the loser's money, as you'd expect. In the middle, THNDR is able to collect some fees, which could prove to be an interesting funding mechanism for game developers.
So how does this works exactly? Clinch leverages two powerful Lightning mechanisms: hodl invoices and invoice wrapping. Invoice wrapping is the process through which a third party can act as a proxy between the receiver and the sender of a payment, but without being in custody of the funds at any time.
The receiver creates an invoice, which as usual carries a payment hash only them know the preimage of. The third party will then take the payment hash and use it to craft another invoice, which pays them and can be for a different amount. The third party then sends their invoice (called the wrapped invoice) to the sender. When the sender pays this invoice, the third party can't claim this payment immediately because they don't know the underlying preimage.
The only way for them to learn this secret is to in turn pay the initial invoice that the receiver sent them. To claim this payment, the receiver must reveal the preimage to the third party, which the third party will then use to claim their payment from the sender. This way, the sender indirectly paid the receiver through the third party, which didn't have any hold on the funds in the process, while being able to claim a fee if the amount of their wrapped invoice was bigger than the amount of the receiver's invoice.
A hodl invoice, on the other hand, simply consists in the receiver of the payment (which crafted the invoice) waiting on an external event before they reveal the preimage to the sender and claim the payment.
In a Clinch game, THNDR gets an invoice from both players using their respective Lightning Address, wraps each invoice and sends the wrapped invoice to the other player (e.g. Alice gets Bob's invoice, wrapped by THNDR). Each player pays the invoice they're presented with, but the settlement of the payment is withheld by THNDR. Once the game is over and the winner is known to THNDR, THNDR can simply cancel the wrapped invoice they sent to the winner, and pay the invoice they received from the winner in the beginning using their Lightning Address. Knowing the winner's preimage, they can now claim the payment the loser made to the wrapped invoice, which was still on hold.
Interestingly, Lightning gaming OG Christian Moss had already come with a similar idea back in 2019. A key difference is that Moss's scheme was fully peer-to-peer, with no entity in the middle. While it may seem desirable (since it means no fee), it exposes the winner to a (moderate) griefing attack where the loser could refuse to cancel the winner's payment to their invoice, thus letting the payment in a "hodl" state until the invoice expires.
This is a problem because the winner can't use the funds they committed to this payment while the loser is still "hodling" to it. The cryptography-era version of a sore loser, if you will. Having THNDR in the middle in Clinch addresses this issue, since THNDR is responsible for cancelling the hodl payment to the loser when the game is over, instead of letting it expire an hour or so later. Pretty smart!

⚡DailyZap: Turn Every Email Address Into A Lightning Address
Every email address can now (indirectly) receive Bitcoin over Lightning, thanks to a new service called @AcceptLN. The idea is pretty simple: when you want to send sats to someone, simply input their email address on the AcceptLN website, fill in an amount and pay the invoice.

I am very pleased to announce that, after all of these years, I agree with Senator Elizabeth Warren on SOMETHING. The Debt Limit should be entirely scrapped to prevent an Economic catastrophe. It is too devastating to be put in the hands of political people that may want to use it despite the horrendous effect it could have on our Country and, indirectly, even the World. As to Senator Warren's second statement on the $4 Trillion Dollars, I like that also, but it would have to be done over a period of time, as short as possible. Let's get together, Republican and Democrat, and DO THIS!

⚡DailyZap: Duels In @THNDRGAMES ⚔️
THNDR Games introduced a new feature called Duels which brings Player-vs-Player (PVP) to their games, starting with Club Bitcoin: Solitaire. Both participants put some bolts (a new in-game currency) at stake before starting the duel, and the winner is rewarded with both stakes (minus around 10%, which we guess is there to discourage bots and abuse).
We have been in touch with THNDR Games' CMO (Chief Meme Officer), a cute little cat which is incidentally the CMO of LN Markets as well. He confirmed that using an in-game currency is only the beginning, as the (still legally challenging) endgame is to use sats all the way. Players could then play against each other for sats, and even maybe bet on other players duels. Cool!🔥
