Announcing Steemflip.com: Bet on the outcome of a coin flip with STEEM

in #steem5 years ago

I am feeling energised for the Steem blockchain in 2019 and to keep me energised, I have been building small Steem blockchain apps. Nothing of Steem Monsters scale, but fun little apps to engage users on the blockchain and give people more things to do.

Steemflip.com is a simple betting site where you can choose heads or tails and bet on the outcome. Bets are currently small, at a maximum of 1 STEEM per flip and currently, STEEM is only accepted. You get back 2x what you bet, so if you bet the current maximum of 1 STEEM you win 2 STEEM (well, technically one).

Within the next week or two, bets will be lifted to 10 STEEM per bet as more people use the app (if any) and we'll go from there.

All bets are performed via the excellent Steem Keychain browser extension. You will need to install Steem Keychain if you want to bet on the outcome of coin flips. This avoids having to allow permission through a service like Steem Connect.

The coin flip "algo" if you can even call it that is a simple Javascript Math.random as can be seen below:

const flip = Math.random() >= 0.5 ? 'heads' : 'tails';

I realise there are already betting games for Steem, but I wanted to create a fun little project whilst I work on something much bigger coming later this year. The design is also a bit crude because this was more about functionality than winning design awards.

So, go check it out now.
