Bored of dice-games or to be at the mercy of a random number generator?
We're taking the randomness out of bitcoin gambling and adding a portion of tactic and timing


After nearly two month of development and testing we are proud to announce our new bitcoin game: https://PushBTC.com


Key features:

- Simulated pennypusher
- Decide which coin size should be inserted
- Decide where you want to place your coin
- Different tables with different coin values
- Use a good timing to compete against other players
- Use the chat to talk to your opponents or form allies to collect the coins
- All actions are off-blockchain to allow precise timing


A giveaway thread will be opened soon to celebrate the launch. A signature campaign will be announced later. During the initial launch phase only two low-value tables will be active. In the next few days we will open more tables when there is enough demand. Versions for LTC and DOGE will open in the next weeks.

Support is available at https://pushbtc.freshdesk.com and in this thread or by PM.

You need a recent browser to use the page (Tested on Chrome, Firefox, IE). If there are any problems in using the site, please drop us a message :)

Thanks for reading and we'll hope to see you on our site soon ;)

Best,
https://PushBTC.com

P.S.: If you are a graphics artist and can design us nicer graphics for the game table, please drop me a PM :)

Taking a look now. Any freebies to test it out?

EDIT: seems a bit laggy from my end.

So is this verifiably fair in any way, or are we trading the mercy of the RNG for the mercy of a supposed skill game with source code that we have no idea about?

EDIT: seems a bit laggy from my end.

The whole game board is streamed four times a second to every client. It is planned to improve this in the next weeks and calculate mid-states on the client side. This will make the game run much smoother.

So is this verifiably fair in any way, or are we trading the mercy of the RNG for the mercy of a supposed skill game with source code that we have no idea about?

At the moment you cannot verify the outcome of a move. However, we will write a paper with the involved math so you can verify every move. That's why a small amount of randomness is added to the exact insertion position (+/- 15 pixels) to prevent precalculating the outcome and give an equal chance to everyone. Currently our main priority is to get the platform running smooth and stable, so please don't expect a detailed explanation before next week.

We're focusing on improving the stability over the next hours. After that I'll update the announcement with some details about freebies/giveaways.

The recent players who inserted some coins already helped a lot in fixing a few issues with the site. We're still having some lag issues which need to be sorted out.

If you click the help button on the top right hand corner, you can find the following Q&A:

Where can I see the status of my deposit?
There is currently no way to show the status. Deposits are usually credited within a minute after the first confirmation.

It looks like a very interesting game and there is no similar bitcoin game.

So is this verifiably fair in any way, or are we trading the mercy of the RNG for the mercy of a supposed skill game with source code that we have no idea about?

Interesting. I would love the read the details when your paper is done.

Hmmm I was about to try the game, but it looks like I should wait for some bug fix first...

Hi and sorry for the delay. I just looked into the database and logfiles to check what had happened. It seems that your browser disconnected after you inserted the coin, so you didn't see what happened. May I ask which browser you are using?

The website uses websockets for all communication which should be supported by every recent Browser. I'll try to get access to a Mac later to see what went wrong. Thanks for reporting the issue. I have sent you a litte compensation to your PushBTC account. Maybe you can try it again with Chrome or Firefox until we have fixed the issue? :)

Very cool idea I must admit. You can improve it a lot as this looks very basic. Not sure if people will get hooked to it easily though.

Thank you :) We are two developers and created everything from scratch. And you see what happens when a developer tries to do graphics stuff ;) But we're getting new graphics soon.

website offline after i try to withdraw? not cool

My colleague announced the upcoming software update in the chat. This should have caused just a few seconds of downtime, but unfortunately CloudFlare blocked the websockets when the site came back up and the code falled back to polling. This crashed the server twice... The page should be running normally now and your withdrawal has been processed.

UPDATE
We added a new table with coin sizes in the µBTC range. And a faucet, so you can try the game without depositing anything. The new table is currently receiving its initial fill and should be usable in a few minutes.

Thanks to everyone who tried the site! Actual live users are a lot different than artificial testers and you have helped us a lot to improve the code!

Good luck everyone ;)

Thx for the faucet.

I tried and it's a bit hard but I liked it.
