Our hosting provider went down and is likely in bankruptcy. Sad

We're open for offers for the codebase and domains etc. E-mail to dalec@neomailbox.ch if interested.

Bump. With the upcoming Stellar network upgrades the network will rise even more. There are nice possibilities. Stellarflip is the market leader and actually the most used service in the Stellar network.

Rippleflip/Stellarflip team

Hi,

How did you come up with those numbers, 35BTC and 60BTC?

Thanks



Hi.
We make at minimum 10 BTC profit every month. We've been making avg 17 BTC every month since the launch. Naturally income rate varies a lot all the time.

Initially we tried to sell Stellarflip+Rippleflip at a much higher price. Now we're here. Why start the auction from 35 BTC only? We cannot keep operating it ourselves due to personal reasons and are wishing to sell it ASAP.


Will you guarantee this min 10BTC profit per month for the 1st 3 months? That is, would you be agreeable that the purchase price be held in escrow for 3 months?

I would consider this opportunity based on a number of conditions. E.g:

- escrow;
- numbers you provide pre-sale (ave monthly bets, average monthly profitability etc) stack up 3 months after - to some agreed percentage (80% for example);
- dont get hacked (some hidden back door);
- no copycat sites suddenly pop up;
- etc etc
- all terms only applicable for the 1st 3 months.

Terms would be written fairly protecting both parties. If all is above board - sale would go through no worries. There are a few escrows on this forum that have held similar amounts and more, that I personally would trust to act as escrow.

Normally it would all be in a contract, but noone is going to be suing anyone in this circumstance - so escrow would be a must.

Thanks

Thanks for your offer!

As I assume it is clear to us both: we can't guarantee that the income will be as it's been in the past.
Though, Stellar network is doing fine. Eq. they just published new protocol updates for the consensus protocol which will most likely strengthen the userbase. Stellar network and Stellarflip has lots of users in the east, too. This is why we have translations for Indonesian and Russian and of course English.

About possibility to hacking: Please carefully examine the source code (there's not huge amount of code!) before running it. This way you will know there is no backdoors. This is same for every code you run anyway.
While we've ran Rippleflip (for 2 years) and Stellarflip (soon 1 year), we've not been hacked. We value secure code a lot. Also, there is not much attack surface, mainly because there is no user input.

Naturally the deal is one time only. This means we will not run or sell the codebase again to anyone, ever. It will be buyers completely.

Escrowing is OK.

Our e-mail is info@rippleflip.com. Please do not hesitate to ask questions. We're trying to get out game server back up but it depends on our ISPs problems.

Hi!

About Stellarflip.com and Rippleflip.com
Rippleflip.com and Stellarflip.com are games where you send XRP or STR respectively to the address given. The game with visual effects starts automatically after the payment is confirmed. Both games are provably fair.
Rippleflip.com started in July 2013 and has been operating since then. We're also proud about the fact that we've not been hacked during these 2 years.
Stellarflip.com is mostly a copy of Rippleflip with different theme and of course uses Stellar currency STR. Stellarflip started in 2014 Autumn, soon after Stellar network launched and has been operating since.
Operating the games require near to none administration since everything is automated.

Why this auction?
We've had Stellarflip and Rippleflip for sale for some time now. Few days ago our hosting provider went down with some internal problems. This triggered us to auction Stellarflip and Rippleflip. Since we were already shutting down our servers as soon as we got these games sold, this was a good time to get Stellarflip and Rippleflip sold. We're now selling (via auction) Stellarflip and Rippleflip for well reduced starting price.

Numbers
By running Rippleflip for over an year we gained trust and had immediate success with Stellarflip. Stellarflip has had steady flow of players since the beginning. We're focusing to Stellarflip here since Stellarflip volumes are much higher than Rippleflip.
Stellarflip has served over 2 million games with the total STR amount played being over 950 million Stellars (STR) since the launch in Autumn 2014. These amounts and the whole Stellar popularity exceeded our expectations heavily. For a long time we've been the biggest business in the Stellar system.

The deal
The buyer gets everything related to Stellarflip and Rippleflip. This includes the codebases, domains, PR accounts etc.
Because we wish to close the deal as soon as possible, we're offering 1 BTC reward to the person who finds us the buyer.

The starting price for this auction is 35 BTC. Buy now price is 60 BTC. The auction ends at 28th June, 2015, at 18:00 UTC. Notice that the auction time is very short.

I'm sorry but we're not planning on making Rippleflip available for any other currency than XRP for now.

Rippleflip.com
 
Bet between 1 and 5000 XRP to win up to 17x your bet! And it's provably fair, too!

Rippleflip.com is the most popular Ripple XRP betting game today. Rippleflip was started July 2013.

Our games are provably fair. We have API for game datas available, too. The fairness is provided the following way:

We've generated a list of random SHA-256 checksums. We've SHA-256'd them again and published a list of them (available here). So each secret used by us has a corresponding key in the file we've published. When a bet is received, we look at the transaction hash and determine ten "coin flips" by looking at the final byte of SHA-256(your transaction hash + our secret at index (Ledger ID of your transaction + Flip #)). So there will be 10 coin flips each game, all being random and fair.

We use node.js as backend. We use ripple-lib to communicate with s1.ripple.com, the public rippled server. We monitor for incoming transactions at our game address - and we won't miss any even if our game server is down, because we will also look at the history since we were last up. This doesn't mean we're intending to have downtime, but in case downtime happens, it will not cause trouble - all bets will be handled. We also monitor for outgoing winnings payments. If - for some reason or another - the winning payment fails to confirm, we will try to send it again in next 15 minutes as long until it's done.

We've also run several stress tests on our game server to see its capabilities. For example, several hundred games at the same time. Our game server handled it perfect.

Have fun and responsibly betting!

Yes you want to do this as you would probably get sued at some point, as there is no explicit way to actually lose everything, under what is rippleflip and the game details link does not work how the game works

the comment "it was under winnings", is itslef actually under what is rippleflip, so that is a bit of a cop out.

You are probably open to suit for any losses to date as there is no losing combination on the site anywhere

Well... Isn't it very obvious that if you get a combination that isn't listed in the winnings table, you lose? Have you played slot machines? Do they list all losing combinations, too?

Are you trying to troll me or what is this all about? It's hard for me to see you being serious on this one....

yeah a bit of scam this is

I had 6 to 4  of one type, and got zip, but you sort of do count by two.

6 of one type should win some thing on 5 and 5 should get nothing




How exactly is our game "a bit of scam"? We are provably fair and been running our game for months. We also have the lowest house edge of the games I've seen that use XRP.


its the way the pics look.
see humans are wired to think

xxxxxooooo = no win = even

your ripple flip pic does not include these as "lose" its all win win win or at least 1/2
put lose and how in the pic



http://www.rippleflip.com/?this

in fact it quite misleading if not deceptive (s75 TPA), on how it works , it does not explicitly say how you loose, except that the edge is 1.85% which infers a loss

but the pic just show win, there is no combination shown to lose the lot. It is just implied.

please update
but
xxxxxxoooo= win
or
ooooxxxxx= win

but your system

is

xxxxxxoooo= loose
ooooooxxxx = loose


Thanks for your feedback!

We are not intending on changing our winnings structure for now but we will rethink about it.
We initially left out the losing combinations because well, it's "Winnings table". But, we now included the losing combinations in there, too!

Have fun!

Hi all!

We've slightly updated our gameserver. Now the "Recent Games" -tab shouldn't show the game more than once (even if the winning payment failed to send and has been resent). We also improved our methods to check if a winning payment has been sent.

Have fun with Rippleflip.com!

P.S. We're probably starting our own rippled-node, too!

We did some minor updates on the client-side.

Give us some feedback about the things you like and things you don't and perhaps we can fix it. Have fun!
