bit-loot.com - a treeloot homage now beta testing

[JoeMattie]

Hi everybody,

I would greatly appreciate it if some of you would help test a game I've been working on.

It's a bit of an homage to treeloot.com, which some of you may remember from the last decade

Coins have been randomly distributed across the 1600 400 tiles of the tree.  Click on the tiles you would like to search, paste in your (testnet) LTC address and click "go".  The game will generate a unique address for you and inform you of the amount of coins it will cost to search.  The amount varies based on the total loot hidden on the tree.  

I designed the game to give you approximately a 50% chance of either finding nothing or doubling your money for any given tile searched.  Of course this will vary with search strategy and luck (some tiles have 10+ LTC on them at the moment)

Any LTC hidden in the tiles you clicked on will be sent to your address, and your "bets" will be randomly distributed on the tree for others to find.  Because of the hashrate variance on testnet, it is set to respond at 0 confirms at the moment.

TESTNET LTC is the only currency supported at the moment.  PM me with your address if you need some testnet LTC.

The url is http://bit-loot.com

IE is not really supported.  I've tested it with Safari, Chrome, and FF.

I would appreciate feedback, questions, suggestions and bug reports.

When it stops being such a piece of shit.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Honestly, I haven't actually used IE since around 2003

Where does it say btc-loot? I must have missed it.

Actually, it is bit-loot

I will be switching it over to BTC after the beta is complete.  (the backend is agnostic to which json-rpc daemon it is talking to)

testnet LTC was simply easier for the testing phase.

It would be nice if you could draw on the tree by dragging the mouse across the board.

[JoeMattie]

I was thinking that as well.

It shouldn't be too hard to implement, I'll look into it tomorrow.

[JoeMattie]

We are now in LIVE beta, with real LTC (BTC boards coming soon)

Please report bugs!

You should support http://inputs.io for instant transactions without the double spending risk.

I will definitely look into it.  Does it have an api interface for determination of the return address (without having to parse the raw transaction)?  This would allow me to remove the need to specify a return address...

We supply you the from address (so we parse it already). Make sure to also test off chain transactions if you use Inputs - there shouldn't be any problems because the only difference is that the from address would be an email (eg admin@glados.cc) instead of a Bitcoin address.

Use inputs

Update: corrected a bug where ajax calls to validate.php (the script that checks the validity of a submitted LTC address) were getting blocked by modsecurity2

Apparently some LTC addresses being evaluated by a RegEX query were coming back as likely to be part of an SQL injection attack. Lol

It's fixed now.  If the site wasn't behaving properly for anybody, it should work now.

Update: added bet history page with txids linking to block-explorer.com
