Good luck everyone and have fun!

We're closing it for a short time, in preparation for the launch of the live site. Thank you to everyone with their feedback.

just try out the site . nice layout . btw , when will it launch .

Thank you. We have some updates planned in the future, but for now we just want to launch it and make sure it is good for everyone.

Very neat site. Very good work, I have to say your developer know his business 

News Update:

Launch of signature contest: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/64blocks-the-social-game-signature-contest-1012289

64 Blocks Contest:

.0512 BTC for the best Hero member design.
.0256 BTC for the best Senior Member design.
.0128 BTC for the best Full Member design.
.0064 BTC for the best Member design.
.0032 BTC for the best Newbie design.

The difference here is its a global game. Think of it as a roulette table in a casino, and people placing their bets on the table. A social interaction with players, etc.

We will be giving away free BTC as well to try out our game through the faucet once we go live.

Thanks for all our beta testers!

Its kind of creative but how is it multiplayer exactly when everybody pretty much plays against the house not against each other?

There is no problem on my end. You may want to delete your browser cache and try again.

Hi all. Sorry for being late to my own party. I think that's the trend anyway.

It's sort of inspired by craps, by traditional dice, and by sic bo, all of which are casino dice games. But, it's more "digital", where it's a little bit easier to verify 64 sided dice, rather than 6 sided cube dice. The 15 seconds was patterned after playing in "real" brick and mortar casinos (definition of real is subject to interpretation, but that's another topic) as well as online ones, and trying to strike a balance between too quick (5-8 seconds for some online poker), and too long (2 minutes for turn based games), also considering that there is only one board, and one dice roll for everyone playing.

A little bit of history: this was thought of some time ago, last quarter of last year. (You can whois the domain.)

I asked some friends to think of the name based on the concept (BayAreaCoins), some math experts (organofcorti) to do some number crunching for me, and a bunch more friends to try and break it in the semi-closed beta a couple weeks ago. (Thank you dooglus for your input.)

I asked a trusted friend to come on board (bitclever) and hired a local developer (ZypheronBits) to make this game a reality.

It's sort of PvP in that it is crowd-funded.

Have fun! Thank you for all your feedback!

Thanks for your feedback


Our goal was to keep the site as small and simple as possible. Our site is roughly 100KB


Thanks for your suggestions,

We were planning on adding a 2X 1/2 button, as for bet history, we will change that later on, so you can see it when you log back on.


Thanks for taking your time, and for your suggestions.

Thoughts:

- Interesting concept but a little confusing to a new player.  The help/how to play page should be the first thing people see, not hidden under a 'help' button.

- 15 second timer between rounds is too quick.  Should be ~ a minute to allow everyone to clear their boards, bet new amounts, use -ev 'systems'.  Plus rapid fire rounds takes away from the social aspect.

- The ability to wager different amounts for different numbers would probably make you some money.  People want to use strategies...let them.  Also I would take away the "odds" under the total bet...people want to see "make 63x on your bet" not "make 2.2x on your bet".

Interesting concept, nice new take on the dice model.  Personally, I'd like it a little better if it was more pvp and less house-based (basically if there was a way for the winning number bettors to win some % of the losing bettor's bet).  There are def ways to do this that encourage social aspects of the game (like Moneypot's bonus structure), but I understand the desire to keep it as simple as possible.  Also I'd add that play money play probably isn't going to attract many people.

Hello,

I have been playing a little while. Here are my observations :

- nice website, nice interface, easy to use and nice to watch!

about the game, i liked it. Original, but really easy to understand, quick, simple, a good one!

Some little things that could be added:
- the bet size is not "easy" to change. you could add some quick buttons like 0.001/0.01 etc... to make it easier to chose.
- If I log out and log in again, i don't see my bets anymore. Maybe the own history could be more persistant, not only on the session, but for one hour or  time-based, but not session-based.
- It would be nice to have an auto-bet (x5, x10, x20...) next to the "place bet" button, to enable a simple autobet functionality. The autobetting functionality is nice but complex, so adding a simple one would be nice.

I hope this will help.
This project really liked me, congratulations!

Thank you for the feedback, please check out our site on any mobile devices you have too

I have to say I like it more than typical bitcoin dice, where you can't see the rolled number just the win/lose announcement. This design is much better and gives somewhat the experience of actual play and involvement. The next step would be probably to make a real animated dice table, but it would require much more effort to animate. This is good enough.

I love it

As always play within your budget. We want you to have fun, don't play with what you can't afford to lose.
Play responsibly, and at discretion. Thanks to all our beta testers!  

If you have any suggestions/feedbacks, feel free to leave them here after you tested the site out.

No shit sherlock. Why would anyone go to a casino and play once and never play again. If everyone did that no one would still be playing dice would they

If you keep playing, then you will eventually lose in the long run, but you don't have to.
You will have a 49.5% chance to win on dice sites if you just play x2 and stop.

I remember when you talked to me about this Dabs many months ago! Nice to see it finally become a reality!

As i said its already almost impossible to win at low house edge dices, imagine at this. The concept is nice dont get me wrong but i just dont see it working

The difference is that, this game has a slightly higher edge at 1/64 or 1.5625% and offers a small % of rakeback.

I think this site is adopting the concept of  btcdem*n

all we need is just to select the blocks, we can select it randomly or you can select it manually.

When your selected block is up, means you win the game.

In my point of view, this is just like dice game with different style.

Thank you for the feedback, please check out the help tab for instructions

It's very nice concept of this game but for me really hard to win 
I will try to bet after I learn how to play 

I was lucky to have been given a beta invite from Dabs for 64blocks. I have talked to him on just-dice before, hes a nice guy. Great site, I wish the project the best of luck!

To play 64Blocks you simply select which block you think will win and pick how much to bet on each block, then finally, confirm your bet. You may pick as many blocks as you'd like. You may also invest in the site's bankroll on the bank tab. We will have clear instructions on how to play once we go live.

Dabs is the co-owner, and will be holding the entire cold storage wallet as well.

Yeah, Dabs is the co-owner? Cool, I know him, he is famous for escorw service here.

But I can't understand your game, it seems new and innovative, never seen this kind of gamble game before, is it like lotto??

Any more introductions? Thanks. I couldn't find it in your OP.

The minimum bet can go down to 1 satoshi, the default fills at 0.001. We will make it a bit more clearer.

Thank you for your feedback panjul07,

The faucet pays out anywhere from hundreds to thousands of satoshis per minute based on your activity. Our minimum bet is also 1 satoshi, the default amount in the bet box is just 0.001.
We will also have some exciting promotions coming in the next few days, so stay tuned

just tried the game, it was fun and interesting

tried the autobet, and it was smooth.

But sometimes disconnected, maybe because my poor connectivity. and when I get disconnected its hard to reconnect the autobet. I need to stop it first and restart it.

And I think this game is only suitable for rich people,because the minimum bet per block is 0.001 (but I dont know, this minimum bet is only for beta or will be applied in the real game)

0.001 per block means that when we want to choose to play with 2.00 odd, and the total bet per game will be 0.032

wondering how much will I get from the faucet if the minimum bet per block is 0.001

So far I like it and Can't wait for the official lauch, hope you'll give us a good promotions lol.

Good job dev, and good luck for this nice project.

Thank you for your feedback, I have now fixed that issue.

Please feel free to try out site on your mobile browsers, the site is optimized to run on smartphones, tablets, and PCs!

Looks pretty good to me.
The game is provably fair, has an invest feature, has a level system for faucet and rakeback, has 2FA, and Dabs is a trustworthy person IMO.

Some small suggestions:
1. In the withdrawal section, we need to enter the password but it is not masked.
2. I could bet all 64 blocks (of course it will be a losing bet for sure), but my profit is shown in green colour.

The design is cool and all that but its pretty much like dice and lately i lost absolutly all the interest in dice or any other game close to it since you will never win. But good luck with your site

Welcome to all our beta testers!

I'm the developer for 64Blocks, I'll be hanging out in chat for the next few hours. Please PM me any feedback you have. We will be running this beta into early April to collect feedback and improve the site before we launch.
