Title: Provably fair BTC lottery
Post by: minzie on October 10, 2014, 10:38:22 PM
A while back I was approached to build a user interface for a web-based Bitcoin lottery. That client moved on to a different project, so I was left with what I think is a pretty snazzy front end ready to be bolted to a back end. So I went ahead and created the back-end.

I am reaching out to try and find 10 people or so willing to test out the app. If you are interested in help test, send me a PM. I know there are dozens of others here looking for testers also, so I am hoping that the fact that I am going to fund the pool is a little incentive. I won't open it until I can find enough people.

As for the future of the app, I am still undecided. I am open to discussing sale of the application if someone happens to be interested.

- Single page web application.
- Log-in only requires a valid Bitcoin address.
- Laravel backend.
- MySql database.
- No sensitive data stored on site. ( no passwords or private keys)

I can arrange a demo for those interested. Just send me a PM. Other then the stuff that comes with Laravel, the game code and account management code is mine.

Thank you to those who volunteered for testing. I decided to go ahead and open the site to anyone that wants to participate in testing. The winner of this testing round will win .1BTC.

No email address, or any other information is required, or saved, by the application.

bitthingy.net/btc_lottery/public

There are roughly 40 slots available, and I will add more as needed. To register, simply provide a BTC wallet address, and select enter. I would recommend generating a new single use address. If there are slots available, you will have .1BTC of game credit to use, at .001BTC per play.

Please let me know if something breaks, or if you have questions.

We must be very lucky to win this game.
I've played 50 times and lost.

No luck. 3 numbers have been preselected and hashed. When someone draws the correct 3, the game is over. With 39 numbers, there are over 9100 possible combinations.
