FlappyBit - Reopening on Moneypot

[Dexon]

http://flappybit.com

Hey every one, I'm here to announce that I remade my old Plinko casino game! It's now fully linked to Moneypot's api and using it's bankroll.
For those who doesn't know what Moneypot is, here is the link: https://www.moneypot.com ; Basically, moneypot is a public casino api where every casino shares the same bankroll.
So, after my previous thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1142917.msg12047771#msg12047771, I decided to make a new thread since this is a new release. In fact, the last casino was "on-chain" and had many constraints towards the players... Which all these are now fixed thankfully to moneypot.
You will notice that the casino doesn't have it's old domain name due to some issues with my last host, more information at the end of the thread.
The game is still re-using the LuckyBit page style/layout on a flappy bird game design.


Pretty simple; You can access the casino via this link: http://flappybit.com
You will now be able to connect, by clicking the "CONNECT" red button on the chat area, using you Moneypot account.
You can do 0 bits bets to try out the system. Any "massive" abuse of that might lead to a blockage of your account on flappybit.

Once you will be connected you will see also the last bets logs and the chat appearing as well as for the Deposit/Withdraw buttons.
When depositing, you will be able to deposit from your moneypot's account or to generate a deposit address.
When withdrawing, you can simply withdraw the balance you have on Flappybit to your moneypot balance.

To play, it's quite simple. Deposit, place a bet and see the coin droping on a random multiplier (controlled by moneypot's provably fair system)
Once the coin reach a multiplier, your bet will be multiplied by it and you will receive the result as the reward.
For example, if you bet 2 bits and you reach 3x, you will receive 6 bits (so 4 bits of net profit)

Take note that 1 bit = a millionth of 1 btc (100 satoshi)
so 1,000,000 bits = 1 btc


There is some basic chat rules. Not respecting them will result to get your self muted for an unspecified delay.
Chat rules:

• Harassment of any kind is not tolerated
• Do not Spam
• Don't post your bitcoin address unless someone explicitly ask for it
• Do not share any private informations about someone(including you)

So about the domain name, I am sorry to say that my previous host actually scammed me. And since he is the owner of the domain name, I couldn't reuse it.
But, in a good way, that permitted me to learn more about gits and stuff. FlappyBit is now then completely open source there: https://github.com/Dexon95/flappybit
I will not be launching any giveaway promotion for the reopening... Sorry. I am not in the "rich" category of people and, again, this project is just about learning and having fun building it.

If you want more info or have some feedback, don't hesitate to let me know!

Thank you

Congrats on making it Open Source and good luck with your re-launch.

But please give ~$ for a decent .com domain and hosting, because nobody will remember http://dexon95.github.io/flappybit as domain/name.

Congratulations on reopening your plinko site! You can easily get a cheap $1 xyz domain from namecheap , and use some free hosting to just run in an iframe of your github site, you know.

Oh, I remember the month or so when flappy bird was all the rage

I was thinking this was going to be a site where you roll a dice, and you have to go farther than that to win BTC.

I agree with the others, you should buy a domain.

[BitMaxz]

This is what i mean before. That this game is base game skill like this one flappybit. Well now i found this one i will try a little bit..
but i think it is better to play it on mobile..
Edit: Looks like is just like a plinkpot. i thought this like a flappybird...

[Dexon]

Yea I will certainly do buy one domain
Waiting to see if it's worth it tho.

[mexicantarget]

Wont you having any issues using the sprite + background?

[cazkooo]

You can do 0 bits bets to try out the system. Any "massive" abuse of that might lead to a blockage of your account on flappybit.

How are you going to do this? As far as what Im aware of, moneypot control the user account and someone can always login to the site through moneypot. Also what do you consider as massive abuse anyway? Hundreds of 0 bits bet? If you are using moneypot I believe you are not even logging the database since it is all handled by moneypot

It always worth... if you want some more trust from users.
And if you want some returning users. Now the only way somebody to play it twice is to bookmark it. Nobody will memorize it.
You can't asking for money (people to gambling with you) when you are not giving even for domain.

If you can't even want to spend money for buying domain and hosting than quite difficult to survive in gambling business. You should be creating site like a professional than you can attract more people to your site. Anyway good luck to you.

It doest matter at all since he is using moneypot then it doesnt matter wether he will be using .xyz domain or even a .com domain. There are many not popular .com apps in moneypot so it is a proof that domain name will not attract a user to play at the site. Besides that every deposits and withdrawals is through moneypot as well so players are completely safe

[Dexon]

How are you going to do this?

Mostly by making an arrays of users that abuses it. Since it'll be client sided it's not gonna be really a big deal to bypass. But it'll help not spaming the moneypot network with meaningless bets.

And if you want some returning users. Now the only way somebody to play it twice is to bookmark it. Nobody will memorize it.

I'm not sure that the "only way" to play many times on flappybit is to bookmark the url... But I get your point.
Also, I am not asking for money. Just like the first version of the game, this was made in a learning purpose and I am not investing in the game.
But still, I think I'm putting the necessary effort into it tho

If you can't even want to spend money for buying domain and hosting than quite difficult to survive in gambling business. You should be creating site like a professional than you can attract more people to your site. Anyway good luck to you.

Since it's only html/css/js I can let github pages host it. and made a CNAME file or something like that if, one day, I get a domain to link it to.
And thanks

Edit: Looks like is just like a plinkpot. i thought this like a flappybird...

I am sorry. I actually made a flappybird being a player vs player game. But the major thing was that people will use Bots to achieve the highest level so it wouldn't be fair to the other players. And there's no way to "catch" them. (when playing on the browser)

hey Dexon

good to see you are back

saying that it is open source does it mean that everyone can take the code and do one for himself?

good luck

[adaseb]

Yeah man, domains are like $7 per year, sometimes you can get it for free with hosting. You really need to get a domain if you want to be taken seriously.

[Dexon]

hey Dexon

good to see you are back

good luck

Hey, thanks!
And yea, people can use the code for them selves if they want to.

[mexicantarget]

Wont you having any issues using the sprite + background?

Hey, care to give an answer to this question?

I've modified some files based on the original Flap bird, but I'm thinking the use of the sprites or the background isn't allowed, by the original creator/owner?

[fishsnake19]

awesome, this game is super fun and a great way to pass some time.

[notaek]

At a first glance upon reading the title, I thought it to be the web version of Coin Flapper.

Although Plinko is nice but the former one would have been a better idea.

[Joel_Jantsen]

Nice graphics Dexon!Though took me a while to figure out how it works lol I was expecting a flappy bird to drop instead of the coin for the pipe lol Although a faucet for a first few days won't be a bad idea.The two coins coming at the same time suppose to be a multiplayer right ?

[Nimbulan]

i must admit that the website looks pretty nice though its very similar to luckyb.it in the whole game idea, i guess i will still tyr it out and hopefully make some money on it
