Title: 0.005 BTC raffle [LN]
Post by: mocacinno on September 05, 2018, 12:30:56 PM
This game is a mix between experimenting with the Lightning Network, gambling and using any technical knowledge you might have  ;D

I've blurred the private key that can be used to spent all unspent outputs funding address 1Prize3tdjrM23QER3f5nZH7uqHfb2SVnq (https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1Prize3tdjrM23QER3f5nZH7uqHfb2SVnq)

Using a lightning wallet, you can purcase one or more unblurring steps untill you start distinguising the individual characters. As soon as you think you can read most of the letters of the private key, start guessing the key untill you're able to clean out these funds.

1485000 sat to show the private key while the prize is only 500000 sat. House edge 200%

My technical knowledge tell me to play games with a 1% house edge. Is ok to experiment with gambling, but if you want people playing with you don't be greedy  ;)

At end i like the concept of the game, i used to make giveaways just posting the privatekeys on chats, but for some people still hard to import those private keys.

Once you have enough of the QR code shown, it would become possible to start bruteforcing the other unrevealed pixels and find the actual private key. If you're smart/technically capable, you could play +EV.

To play +EV you need some awesome skills, because a blurry code will not work.

6 reasons why your QR code is not working > 3. Don’t create blurry QR Codes

But i found an awesome article from a guy who did this, i think he is the only one who can solve this game with +EV

Thanks for your reply DarkStar_ you make me learn more about the topic, but i still thinking the house should have only 1 or 2% house edge.  :P
