Coinballer - An open-source multi-player Bitcoin gambling game.

[jackmurray]

In this game, up to 100 players are gambling on who has more resources.

Players can make a bet or raise their bet at any time.

The game ends when 144 bitcoin blocks have passed without a raise. This will take appoximately one day.

The player who has contributed the most money to the pot at the end of the game wins the whole pot, minus a 2% fee for the host.

In the case of tie, funds are distributed equally and any fractional remainder is left with the host.

My host can be found at https://coinballer.net/ as well as a link to the source code.

We hope you enjoy!

Kind regards,
Jack Murray

hello jackmurray

I was testing your betting engine, and you didn't sanitize the betting input, that way users can create a game with invalid data resulting in the loss of their money if they place a bet.

And I don't like the fact that your coins are under your custody because at any moment you can walk away with the money. It would be nice if that could be controlled by a smart contract or a third party.

But a big +1 for making the project open source.

People who like to use martingales and to bet more and more, will be seduced by that game. Well it's the same thing in wagering tournaments but at least you don't lose all your money if you are not the winner in this kind of tournaments. I don't like very much those games actually because we never know when the owner or one of his friend is playing. And if he is losing he could simply say something went wrong, and cancel the round, but it wouldn't be fair.

I believe this website is connected to your Satoshi Auction(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5432487.msg61523202#msg61523202 ) since it has same format and both manage by you. Why not merge it on a single casino so that you will have more games offered on a single brand name. The games is obviously share same theme and it will be perfect to be running on one casino.

I really like this fresh idea of games but as @seoincorporation pointed out, It’s very hard to trust the game like this which is just a PVP much while you hold the prize pool in your wallet. You are new in the forum so I doubt user can trust to place any bet on this PvP game.

The game is very nostalgic and same idea with the old FishvsFish before which 2 sides compete by putting BTC on each wallet. This is a team effort game which is why it’s exciting to play rather than a single betting competition.

From what I understand from OP's explanation of the game play or should I say mechanics, this is not a fair game, it a game for only the rich, any pleb who enters this kind of game would just end up wasting their money, or should I say would be foolish because he or she would just be giving the little he or has to the rich.

Its a game for the rich to debate or fight over who is richer, and as we know, when two elephants fight, any grass under their feet suffers, so Goodluck to those playing, I am not a rich man yet, so this type of game is not for people like me.

^ Hey Jack Murray, it would be nice if there is a top 5 winners, it is very hard to compete in only one position and it is unfair to the small-scale players like me that only spend an amount that we can afford. However, even though it is open source but I agree with the above said that it should be on a smart contract that player only connect their wallet via API, they still have control over their wallet. Overall, your concept is good for those gamblers who care about their privacy. If you will succeed here and become a fully well-established gambling casino, for sure you are the first gambling casino that has that kind of feature here. If you are serious about this you can make an ANN thread here.

Thank for you for testing the engine.

I believe that people can only put html escaped text into the page. I'm not too concerned about this vulnerability at the moment.

And I don't like the fact that your coins are under your custody because at any moment you can walk away with the money. It would be nice if that could be controlled by a smart contract or a third party.

I promise not to rug-pull any of the players that I am hosting the site for.  

Yes, I agree that a smart contract would be better. If I get more funding I will fund development into this.

But a big +1 for making the project open source.

Thank you for your appreciation.

Why not merge it on a single casino so that you will have more games offered on a single brand name. The games is obviously share same theme and it will be perfect to be running on one casino.

Thank you so much for the feedback, I have purchased the domain https://decision.casino and will work on adding the brand to the other websites soon.

It’s very hard to trust the game like this which is just a PVP much while you hold the prize pool in your wallet. You are new in the forum so I doubt user can trust to place any bet on this PvP game.

Like I said, I promise not to rug-pull on any users. I've also been transparent about who I am on the website, so my reputation is on the line.

Please anybody let me know if there's anything else I can do to increase my reputation.

Thank you for the feedback, I will add the feature to have a top 5 players win soon. And thank you for the words of encouragement.

Unfortunately, you cant fasten this process, but being actively posting here your updates, doing trades to anyone, as well as following some recommendations to your site, fixing/solving issues, etc. can help. Well, also running a signature campaign which i saw that you already did will also build reputation of someone else business/service here.

[nakamura12]

Just checked the site and I found out that the site is very similar to this one which I can say created by the same person or a team. This is the site I was talking about. I posted in it earlier but it seems that OP deleted the thread of promoting the site when I checked my post and I can't find it in my post history. I was just curious as to why OP deleted the thread. It is a different website if I say about it but many people will say that these websites are created by the same person or team because of its similarity.

^Definitely right, there is no shortcut in gaining trust here, it should take a long process altogether with a good service with your gambling casino that should not have shady activities or becomes rug-pull top the users. Revealing your identity is not ideal for fast gaining trust, probably it will boil out to the worst if revealing your identity becomes a danger to your side. Running a signature campaign or any business ad, being active here in the forum will make your reputation increase. However, you are in a good step, in answering those concerns about your website on this thread will increase the chances.

This will take a lot of time and if OP is serious about the services he’s offering right now here in the forum, then probably many will slowly trust this platform. It will always hard to attract 100 players in just one game where they will gamble to win the spot, probably many are still hesitant to try this platform. 2% fee for the host seems reasonable for me, will try to know more about this project first before trying it.

Or some will make their multiple accounts to participate the game.
How can the OP make sure that there will be no cheating on this game?
Also, with what is happening these days, how can you trust the word of an anonymous person?
Assuring no rug pull will happen if he will be holding a significant amount of money.
Indeed, it would take time for a new site to build their credibility in this community.
If the person is serious on this business, he will slowly improve his site for the betterment of his game.
But with the content of his site right now, I don't think many people will trust a handsome amount of money on his site.

There's no quick fix for building a strong reputation online. It takes time and patience. You need to be consistent with your efforts, and if you're willing to put in the work, it will pay off. I agree with the given suggestions, by actively posting updates and following best practices for interacting with others on the forum, you can steadily improve your reputation over time. It's all about consistently demonstrating your credibility, reliability, and professionalism. Keep at it and your reputation will surely grow!

Making multiple accounts won't give benefits the cheaters of whatever you call them for this game since only one who will win – the one with biggest bets of the day.

About the holding of funds, it depends on the reputation of OP and the site, its like doing escrow here, which needs of time to allocate to make a good reputation – its all about trust. Which i think is need risks knowing there are escrows or services who runs its users funds after building its reputation.
If something a smart contract can do about the holding and dispersing the funds to the winner, it will be a great feature.

From your signatures, you owned two casinos: Coinballer and Satoshi Auction and one exchange.

I saw two mini signature campaigns for Coinballer and Satoshi Auction that were started hours ago.
With the announcement for Fryx Finance, you should make a graphic for it.

For two casinos, you can hire jayce to design more attractive graphics.

Basically signature campaign has nothing to do with reputation, reputation is more about how the site serve the players.
OP should not be focused on how to get reputation but he should be focused on how to manage the site and serve the players so players will feel great to be there.
However I really doubt that this kind of game will survive in this gambling industry.
He has started a signature campaign but he forgot that it wont attract players to play, because campaign is just an advertising tool to make people aware about its existence but what make people attracted to play is something else.

You can slowly build up your reputation by handling your players well. And by well, I mean, no delayed payout/withdrawals, and good customer support (through email or here in the forum). Running good promotional events like signature campaigns, and contests is just a plus.
As for now, focus on building your site since currently, the website itself looks bland and uninviting. It would have been nice if it had a little artistry or even just a few touches of colors before you launch a campaign to promote it. But since yo have Jayce working on it, I'm sure it'll turn out great.
Also, adjust a few mechanics in the games. Coinballer for example has a 144-block waiting time just to see the results. No casual player would wait that long.

If you have received a signature campaign by one of the sites, then you don't need to think about increasing your reputation in this forum.
Your job is only to carry out promotions as it should be for other members who use this forum to be able to attract or make other members interested in what you have promoted.
If you really want to improve your reputation, do it by serving and providing comfort to users who visit your site.
