New Games & Services with Bitcoin using Lightning

[realpseudozach]

First some good news, with some support from our good friends at Bitlum.io;

We have a new deal where everyone who downloads & activates the Lightning Web Wallet through this link http://bit.ly/2VaDQMC gets $0.10 in Bitcoins (which is around 2500 satoshis currently). So this will give more than 2 free plays at TCM. And you can even use it on other games/services at https://kriptode.com

Regarding the %45 odds on a game where you pick 1 of 3 cards:
- The winning/losing is decided based on served seed prior to picking the card with provably fair calculations. The game result is revealed as black card if you won and red card if you lost.

I can share that for all the games and services on kriptode.com, we paid over 1.5 million satoshis until now It's an honest and very small operation. We read all the feedback and try to be always responsive via email, twitter and here.

I understand that, its a small operation and you don't want to compete with other casinos. It is good to see that this website provides provably fair games, which is my top priority when trying a new casino. You don't need to add a faucet to the casino but, the option to add bitcoin to the wallet and play from it is pretty much needed. Hope you would understand the difficulty in sending small amounts every time we bet.

That's nice, hearing partnership and giving promotional way to enjoy the game would be something that can attract new players to try it on
and see test your games, good adjustment from your part is needed in order to cater players opinions where the business will start being more
stronger if you able to satisfied your players.

Best of luck and to you business and more updates to come buds.

I will give it a try, I was planning to start using a lightning wallet ( I didn't use it before) and this look like a good opportunity.
I see more and more people switching to the lightning network.
Is it possible to make a deposit before starting the game, I mean can I deposit more than 1000 Satoshis to my account and use it from there?

Not yet but this will be in the next update. You'll be able to deposit first and then play from balance.

You are right. Thanks for the feedback and kind words. I'll be improving these things over time starting with deposit + fast play from balance. You can check the blackjack game (not provably fair but also not rigged) which is 1000 satoshi deposit and then 100 sats per play which is really fast.

If you can make it work, your casino will be the first among the lightning enabled casinos.

There are hundreds of casino which do what the others do but leading us to use a new tech is completely different.

A few years later, people will remember you as the person who took the risk of implementing a new technology instead of copy/pasting an old one.

Good luck.

From what I understand the game works as 50% chance to win with a proper house edge (I think 5% is still a lot) and not 1 in 3 chance. You do see three cards on the screen but you do not have 1 in 3 card chance, the game mechanics work as in you get %50 chance of winning (so you have 1.5 cards in 3 cards chance to make it clear) and whatever you choose is a flip toss so if what you select comes than you win and the graphics of the game is just for show, not for real results.

It is at least clears up the bad odds (which I still think is a high house edge but not as bad as we assumed) but it still requires a lot more explaining, many people believed there was a 1 in 3 chance to win on a 50% profit without you explaining it, so you have to make it clearer for everyone that plays.

Hi,

I've built a simple card game called Three card monte aka find the lady where you try to pick the black card among 3 cards. If you win you double your satoshis. The game is playable only with lightning and only for 1000 satoshis per bet.

It's provably fair, details can be found on the site under "Fair" menu. You can immediately withdraw your winnings to your lightning wallet if you want.

https://kriptode.com/tcm/play.html

feedback & questions welcome.

I just don't get it as if i deposits 1000Sat, i would have to pay more tx fee so even if i win, it will not be a 2x Win.

New game!

Duck Hunt with Lightning.
https://kriptode.com/lnhunt/index.html

It's simple a clone of DuckHuntJS where you pay to play the game and then win your satoshis back (possibly more). Withdraw anytime.

Feel free to contact me if any issues/comments.

Website will be updated regularly with more games.

Hello OP. I opened the link of the new game and it is the first time that i visit your website as well. When I click the link it directs me to a window that I have to pay without even seeing what this game is about. When i close this window all I see is a black screen. I would advise you to insert a video of pictures of the game that will let us know what it will look like and what experience is going to give us.

Personally, I won't pay up in front for something that will not be of my preference eventually without getting the idea of what it will follow.

I think its fixed now. I see the big Green interface with a card in the middle.

When players use Bitlum online Bitcoin Lightning Network wallet - they are included in advanced crypto technologies and also receive a free bonus, the player can play this bonus in only 4 games now. I hope the number of games on the site will increase soon

But from the start, every game like this will never have 1/3 chance right because the odds as well and because of this make really huge house edge as well. But somehow people do like the challenge as well to think they double their coin easily on this kind of site. And btw about the Lightning, is it been stable already? Cause I heard there is still unbalance yet

I have no idea what you mean by "every game like this will never have 1/3 chance right because the odds as well", I am not a native English speaker but I think that sentence is a bit off or my English is not good enough to understand what you mean.

All I meant is the game "looks" 1/3 chance but in reality the graphics are just fake, its really 50% chance of winning (well 47.5% if I am not calculating wrong) so what you see is just extra animation for revealing what you won or lost. Otherwise it could have been a simple "won/lost" and that would have been enough. That three card addition to the game is just making people mistake if its 50% chance or 33% chance and seriously useless.

Just to make the game look good they made it more complicated. They should have done it with some other graphics or made it 33% chance with better odds.

I heard this from other people as well so maybe I'll just lower the odds to around %32 and make it so that you triple your bet. It might be easier, instead of just explaining all the time

Lightning is quite stable, I've been experimenting since last year and these days I almost never have a failed payment. And from thousands of my daily payments, maybe 1-2 fail. And there are nice wallets, bitcoin on-chain to lightning exchanges. And it's improving very fast as well.

I just pushed a new update with the deposit option. So you can deposit some satoshis to your onsite balance over lightning and use it to repeatedly play. Let me know any issues and keep in mind website is still in beta so do not keep large amounts!

Here's a gif that shows how it works.

It is stable of course from the first time I heard of that they are improving it really fast because like you said it is left on 2 fail but the problem is how about if on that 1-2 fail payment and it is a big money and it is gone without a trace? How are you going to fix that thing? You cant say that there is because the lightning blockchain is not stable yet right? This must be secure from simple things like that, many of them will not take this as a consideration right now

[yurimir]

In this Mainnet lightning network stores https://lightningnetworkstores.com/ also are listed several games: Lightning Roulette, Lightning Casino, Lightning Slot Machine, Lightning Spin, MicroBet, etc. Gambling is and probably will always be one of the best use cases of bitcoin

Some misunderstandings there.

1- Lightning Network is not a blockchain, it's a 2nd layer, payment channel network on top of Bitcoin's blockchain. Basically you lock up some bitcoins in a payment channel with another Lightning Node and bitcoins can go back & forth between you and partner node.

2- Payment failing in Lightning does not mean funds will be lost. If payment fails to route over the payment channels, then you will still have the bitcoins in your node. Your node will automatically try again and again until it finds a path to the target node.

3- Only potential cause for losing funds could be corrupt DB, disk failure that can not be recovered but you can manage those with backing up your Lightning folder. Or if you use mobile wallet, they already provide backups to Google Drive etc.

First some good news, with some support from our good friends at Bitlum.io;

We have a new deal where everyone who downloads & activates the Lightning Web Wallet through this link http://bit.ly/2VaDQMC gets $0.10 in Bitcoins (which is around 2500 satoshis currently). So this will give more than 2 free plays at TCM. And you can even use it on other games/services at https://kriptode.com

Regarding the %45 odds on a game where you pick 1 of 3 cards:
- The winning/losing is decided based on served seed prior to picking the card with provably fair calculations. The game result is revealed as black card if you won and red card if you lost.

I can share that for all the games and services on kriptode.com, we paid over 1.5 million satoshis until now It's an honest and very small operation. We read all the feedback and try to be always responsive via email, twitter and here.

I understand that, its a small operation and you don't want to compete with other casinos. It is good to see that this website provides provably fair games, which is my top priority when trying a new casino. You don't need to add a faucet to the casino but, the option to add bitcoin to the wallet and play from it is pretty much needed. Hope you would understand the difficulty in sending small amounts every time we bet.

Also there is no harm in adding a faucet to the casino.
This will give people chance to first test the site before actually depositing the money.

I agree , many people are afraid to make a Deposit , they want to first look at the honesty of the project and then invest them or not
