Ability to allow players to safely make Bitcoin transactions within the game.

So, the game would print a wallet string, and it’s up to the user to send bitcoin to that wallet?

Yeah I imagine this would be the best way to do it. But in a perfect world the wallet would be tied to the players account and stored on a server.

And the game would have to verify the entire blockchain every time the user starts it up and wants to display your balance?

Yeah I think this would be necessary and the easiest way to solve the problem. It would be important for the game to not allow transactions until it is verified. With that said, in some cases it may be a good idea to allow the game to do things more quickly while it waits for things in the background.

And once someone wants to trade, they have to wait for three generations of acknowledge before they actually get what they paid for?

Right now Bitcoin is slloooooooooow too say the least. Not sure if there are other cryptos that will work better. But for what it’s worth its not really that outrageous for items you purchased to sit in a pending state before showing up in your mailbox.

I just don’t see how this could in any way be a useful addition to a game, such as I understand current games and current blockchain technology.

It would be a completely new profit model that rewards players with real money seamlessly while hiding micro transactions under the hood by taking a percentage of each player transaction. You can also be clever about how you set things up and make it so people who play the game are able to earn enough currency to get by without having to actually manually put money in their wallet.
