Bitcoin Forum

Hey every one, I'm here to announce that I remade my old Plinko casino game! It's now fully linked to Moneypot's api and using it's bankroll.
For those who doesn't know what Moneypot is, here is the link: https://www.moneypot.com (https://www.moneypot.com) ; Basically, moneypot is a public casino api where every casino shares the same bankroll.
So, after my previous thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1142917.msg12047771#msg12047771 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1142917.msg12047771#msg12047771), I decided to make a new thread since this is a new release. In fact, the last casino was "on-chain" and had many constraints towards the players... Which all these are now fixed thankfully to moneypot.
You will notice that the casino doesn't have it's old domain name due to some issues with my last host, more information at the end of the thread.
The game is still re-using the LuckyBit page style/layout on a flappy bird game design.

Pretty simple; You can access the casino via this link: http://flappybit.com
You will now be able to connect, by clicking the "CONNECT" red button on the chat area, using you Moneypot account.
You can do 0 bits bets to try out the system. Any "massive" abuse of that might lead to a blockage of your account on flappybit.

Once you will be connected you will see also the last bets logs and the chat appearing as well as for the Deposit/Withdraw buttons.
When depositing, you will be able to deposit from your moneypot's account or to generate a deposit address.
When withdrawing, you can simply withdraw the balance you have on Flappybit to your moneypot balance.

To play, it's quite simple. Deposit, place a bet and see the coin droping on a random multiplier (controlled by moneypot's provably fair system)
Once the coin reach a multiplier, your bet will be multiplied by it and you will receive the result as the reward.
For example, if you bet 2 bits and you reach 3x, you will receive 6 bits (so 4 bits of net profit)

Take note that 1 bit = a millionth of 1 btc (100 satoshi)
so 1,000,000 bits = 1 btc

There is some basic chat rules. Not respecting them will result to get your self muted for an unspecified delay.
Chat rules:

• Harassment of any kind is not tolerated
• Do not Spam
• Don't post your bitcoin address unless someone explicitly ask for it
• Do not share any private informations about someone(including you)

So about the domain name, I am sorry to say that my previous host actually scammed me. And since he is the owner of the domain name, I couldn't reuse it.
But, in a good way, that permitted me to learn more about gits and stuff. FlappyBit is now then completely open source there: https://github.com/Dexon95/flappybit
I will not be launching any giveaway promotion for the reopening... Sorry. I am not in the "rich" category of people and, again, this project is just about learning and having fun building it.

If you want more info or have some feedback, don't hesitate to let me know!

Thank you

Congrats on making it Open Source and good luck with your re-launch.

But please give ~$ for a decent .com domain and hosting, because nobody will remember http://dexon95.github.io/flappybit as domain/name.

Congratulations on reopening your plinko site! You can easily get a cheap $1 xyz domain from namecheap , and use some free hosting to just run in an iframe of your github site, you know.

Oh, I remember the month or so when flappy bird was all the rage :)

I was thinking this was going to be a site where you roll a dice, and you have to go farther than that to win BTC.

I agree with the others, you should buy a domain.

This is what i mean before. That this game is base game skill like this one flappybit. Well now i found this one i will try a little bit..
but i think it is better to play it on mobile..
Edit: Looks like is just like a plinkpot. i thought this like a flappybird...

Yea I will certainly do buy one domain :)
Waiting to see if it's worth it tho.

Wont you having any issues using the sprite + background?

How are you going to do this? As far as what Im aware of, moneypot control the user account and someone can always login to the site through moneypot. Also what do you consider as massive abuse anyway? Hundreds of 0 bits bet? If you are using moneypot I believe you are not even logging the database since it is all handled by moneypot

It always worth... if you want some more trust from users.
And if you want some returning users. Now the only way somebody to play it twice is to bookmark it. Nobody will memorize it.
You can't asking for money (people to gambling with you) when you are not giving even for domain.

If you can't even want to spend money for buying domain and hosting than quite difficult to survive in gambling business. You should be creating site like a professional than you can attract more people to your site. Anyway good luck to you.

It doest matter at all since he is using moneypot then it doesnt matter wether he will be using .xyz domain or even a .com domain. There are many not popular .com apps in moneypot so it is a proof that domain name will not attract a user to play at the site. Besides that every deposits and withdrawals is through moneypot as well so players are completely safe

Mostly by making an arrays of users that abuses it. Since it'll be client sided it's not gonna be really a big deal to bypass. But it'll help not spaming the moneypot network with meaningless bets.

I'm not sure that the "only way" to play many times on flappybit is to bookmark the url... But I get your point.
Also, I am not asking for money. Just like the first version of the game, this was made in a learning purpose and I am not investing in the game.
But still, I think I'm putting the necessary effort into it tho ;D

---

Since it's only html/css/js I can let github pages host it. and made a CNAME file or something like that if, one day, I get a domain to link it to.
And thanks :)

---

I am sorry. I actually made a flappybird being a player vs player game. But the major thing was that people will use Bots to achieve the highest level so it wouldn't be fair to the other players. And there's no way to "catch" them. (when playing on the browser)

hey Dexon

good to see you are back :)

saying that it is open source does it mean that everyone can take the code and do one for himself?

good luck

Yeah man, domains are like $7 per year, sometimes you can get it for free with hosting. You really need to get a domain if you want to be taken seriously.

Hey, thanks!
And yea, people can use the code for them selves if they want to.

Hey, care to give an answer to this question?

I've modified some files based on the original Flap bird, but I'm thinking the use of the sprites or the background isn't allowed, by the original creator/owner?

awesome, this game is super fun and a great way to pass some time.

At a first glance upon reading the title, I thought it to be the web version of Coin Flapper (http://bitplay.today/coin-flapper-pro/).

Although Plinko is nice but the former one would have been a better idea.

Nice graphics Dexon!Though took me a while to figure out how it works lol I was expecting a flappy bird to drop instead of the coin for the pipe lol Although a faucet for a first few days won't be a bad idea.The two coins coming at the same time suppose to be a multiplayer right ?

i must admit that the website looks pretty nice though its very similar to luckyb.it in the whole game idea, i guess i will still tyr it out and hopefully make some money on it

Woops! Sorry.
Well, to be honest, these aren't the official sprites taken from the game but remakes. Still hard to say with the billions of other flappybird app versions.
Even tho, according the Apple store TOS, once you remove your app (which the official flappybird app have been removed) you can not put it back there. So I guess there's is no copyrights to it anymore... I might be wrong...

---

Thanks!
The faucet idea isn't bad. I could include the moneypot's faucet easily.
And for the second question, I'm not sure to understand sorry  ???

---

Thanks, I hope you will ;D

hey dexon, im not sure if you were able to read my pm or not, but if youd like to partner up i can get a domain name and a hosting plan for the site.

thank you for bringing this website back up, i used to play here for some time so it will be a possibility to bring back the good memories, im really glad that i will be able to gamble here again

Hey, yea i saw it sorry I didn't answered back... I already bought the domain http://flappybit.com
I'm changing the DNS records now. Since I'm not sure of what I'm doing, it might take some time  :-\

do you have a hosting plan?

No. I don't think I would need one. Since it's only html pages, Github Pages can host them pretty well.
Also, http://flappybit.com is now online and seems to be working fine.

Can it handle a lot of traffic?

No idea :D

yeah look at the sites of interest, at least add to the list of games to get bitcoin, cheers

Yes, I do agree. You should spend little money before you try to make money.

Site design looks good so you can invest money to buy some decent domain name. The link looks like more suspicious to open your site. I opened your site only after reading many comments in this thread.

I do agree with your suggestion. He must invest some money first on his domain before start promoting it.

The link was pointing to a github page. Nothing suspicious about github in general since its a place where people store their code.
Also, honestly, I am not trying to make money, this thread is more like about to tell the people that flappybit is here again with better stuff. Again, made for a learning purpose and it's open sourced so other people can learn from it ;D

---

I already bought the domain. http://flappybit.com/
I also edited the first post replacing the links.

Am I missing something here? I cant find any buttons to make a bet, cant see my balance in the page, even I cant see my own username unless I make a message on chat box.
Maybe adding FAQ page would be helpful for your new players.

Agreed, I just just stumble on lucky' before this. But I love the design and I saw in chat that a faucet is coming soon, which will help garner more attention. I would love to learn how to make sites like this.

As said on the first post:

You will first need to connect in order to see the bet buttons/chat/bet logs.
If when connecting you still can't see them, please open your browser's bebug console and report any bug/error message to me ;)

Also, the website was not made to be friendly with phone. Maybe someone will make a mobile version that i'll be able to merge but yet, I haven't planned to do one. (if you're trying to play from your phone)

Thanks for the report, waiting your response :)

Little update,

There is now a Faucet button. Allowing the users to get 2 bits every 5 minutes.

Little fix,


You can now see the chat without having to be connected. About the bet history, moneypot doesn't allow me to do so.
I've also PM'd them asking to fix their bug regarding the bet's paths in the all_bets 'callback' from their side. But they haven't responded me in weeks. So I guess the new moneypot's owners doesn't care.

Still, flappybit is up at http://flappybit.com

I think, if it is free hosting package than mostly you can't support lot of traffic at a time. It is going to be quite slow if many people try to access your site at a time so it is better have your own hosting plan to handle the traffic. Good luck to you.

whom did you PM and what PM did you use? here on BCT or support on MP site? why don't you
come to MP slack? just get an invite

You're not understanding the concept here.
It's github pages :)
The bandwidth is big enough to handle a good amount of traffic without lag (Since it's github you know).

Basically, every user sends a (probably way more less) ~1 ko request to github pages which they replies with the site's content. (which you download around 10 Ko of html/css/js files)
To overflow a connection with this, there would need to be over 2 million of people to cause a noticeable lag. (2 Go) And this, would need to happen exactly at the same time.

Once you're connected to the site, you are no longer dealing with github pages since the html and everything got downloaded by your browser in cache.
Take note too that Javascript is client sided, so when you click the 'connect' button, it's your pc that is sending a connection request to moneypot and not flappybit. Meaning, the site literally don't handle any traffic (really that much to think about paying any hosting plan) but your own home internet connection does. So if you are lagging, it's probably because your internet is too slow or you are living way too far from the moneypot's server. Since I'm pretty sure that moneypot's server can handle a huge amount of traffic without any problem.

Hope that make you guys understand the things and the 'why' :)  (Just explaining since many people told me about getting a paid hosting plan when there is currently no reason on world to get one)

Of course... DDoS, is an other thing. but meh, if its big enough to bring people to spend time on attacking the dns servers... well, i'll just get an hosting plan then.

To make a follow, we talked about it on skype thnx! :)
I'd like to get an mp slack invite too. If you could hit me up with a pm, I would appreciate it!

with whom did you skype? dogedigital?

I cant invite you :) but dogedigital can. I PM him in slack to contact you for your mail and invite you

Just tossed him a PM as well and will help get him in, :). Thanks, JPR!

Thnx, really appreciated  :D
