Launched 10 days ago and seeded with 50 eth over the first 3 drawings. This is a traditional ticketed draw lottery combined with a backend raffle which players earn the right to enter by ticket purchases and round participation. All information for megaball is verifiable vs the fully playable ropsten instance https://ropsten.megaball.io (https://ropsten.megaball.io)

TLDR; Design details and ramblings in the "zf" paper at https://about.megaball.io/ (https://about.megaball.io/).

Note... this is a complex contract. Heavily tested, optimized, and simulated but like everything crypto there is no guarantee this is safe long term.

• Game contract src is available on mainnet
• Previous drawing state is explorable allowing users to interact with rounds after they are drawn
• paginated ticketing interface
• Winnings claimable after drawing occurs

Referral Model

This game has a new referral model based on DNS + IPFS which allows domain/subdomains to associate to an ethereum address. But wtf does that mean???

It means anyone can register an address to a domain/sub-domain to the contract. You can register a subdomain/domain to an Ethereum address.  Go shill that wherever and profit @6% of the tickets purchased through that domain. You can try it on ropsten with a domain that you have the ability to update DNS records on. The address could be a smart contract? The "zf" paper gives some high-level examples of shimming contracts in various ways.

There's also a referral feature on the mainnet where any ticket purchased can potentially end up as the referral for tickets purchased after it by other users on megaball.io.


Follow Up
There is a pending related game which I had planned to release today, but final testing is not quite done yet.

Expect a separate announcement regarding the additional game in the next 3 days.

Interesting but trying to understand the overall idea.

By the way when I wanted to visit the main URL (https://megaball.io) I end up seeing this error/limitation: http://prntscr.com/mflr7m (This is something worth fixing?)
