[tyz]

TappaBit is different from most games in Bitcoin that is not one of the gambling variety. For people that want to play using Bitcoin but not leave it all entirely up to chance, TappaBit is an engaging Bitcoin game alternative.

I tried the trial version but could not really get a good grasp on what part of the game involves skill.

The part of the game that involves skill is how you need to physically stop the timer as close to 0 as possible. Unfortunately, it seems like this game is closing this Saturday forever, which is a shame as it was a good concept.

Is this true ? But this can be as the concept is good but not attractive to one who have slower internet connection or are not fast to click stop buttom. I have also played their game during one promotion by them but lost. The main problem can be not getting enough players like most of the multiplayer game require. Today is saturday, is today is the last day for tappabit ?

for me its more like 50% internet connection, 30% agility and 20% luck. i never had won on tappabit cuz of my shitty internet connection. still its a nice game, its just that players with faster internet connection got an advantage.

IMO it's close to 100% luck, because every internet connection have some lag. For example I'm on 150ms average to US. People located closely to game hosting server will have unfair advantage.

I got that part, I just dont see this game as becoming mainstream or remotely popular. Maybe if it was tweeked up a bit. Im not surprised that the game is shutting down.

What is this like ? a new game ?

Can you explain it more details on the thread ?

your not missing much

[NorrisK]

Wouldn't it be very easy to make a bot of some sorts or use a macro program to click the button as close to 0 as possible?

Lag is probably indeed your worst enemy in a game like this, a few hundreds of a second can cause you to lose already.

Yeah I agree with you when you said that this game need best internet connection. But 100% luck I dont think that it will be that because it is not fair game because all you need is good conncetion, so although you have luck but bad connection I dont think that you can win it

I tried this game on tappabit but it's not kinda skill based,i mean i tried to be as close as 0 but there's some bug there sometimes it goes so close to 0 and sometimes it's no way near 0 even i press stop at same time and there's no way to verify exactly when we did stop!
