Topic: FlappyBit - Reopening on Moneypot (Read 1824 times)

Thnx, really appreciated 

Just tossed him a PM as well and will help get him in, . Thanks, JPR!

with whom did you skype? dogedigital?

I cant invite you but dogedigital can. I PM him in slack to contact you for your mail and invite you

You're not understanding the concept here.
It's github pages
The bandwidth is big enough to handle a good amount of traffic without lag (Since it's github you know).

Basically, every user sends a (probably way more less) ~1 ko request to github pages which they replies with the site's content. (which you download around 10 Ko of html/css/js files)
To overflow a connection with this, there would need to be over 2 million of people to cause a noticeable lag. (2 Go) And this, would need to happen exactly at the same time.

Once you're connected to the site, you are no longer dealing with github pages since the html and everything got downloaded by your browser in cache.
Take note too that Javascript is client sided, so when you click the 'connect' button, it's your pc that is sending a connection request to moneypot and not flappybit. Meaning, the site literally don't handle any traffic (really that much to think about paying any hosting plan) but your own home internet connection does. So if you are lagging, it's probably because your internet is too slow or you are living way too far from the moneypot's server. Since I'm pretty sure that moneypot's server can handle a huge amount of traffic without any problem.

Hope that make you guys understand the things and the 'why'  (Just explaining since many people told me about getting a paid hosting plan when there is currently no reason on world to get one)

Of course... DDoS, is an other thing. but meh, if its big enough to bring people to spend time on attacking the dns servers... well, i'll just get an hosting plan then.

To make a follow, we talked about it on skype thnx!
I'd like to get an mp slack invite too. If you could hit me up with a pm, I would appreciate it!

whom did you PM and what PM did you use? here on BCT or support on MP site? why don't you
come to MP slack? just get an invite

I think, if it is free hosting package than mostly you can't support lot of traffic at a time. It is going to be quite slow if many people try to access your site at a time so it is better have your own hosting plan to handle the traffic. Good luck to you.

Little fix,


You can now see the chat without having to be connected. About the bet history, moneypot doesn't allow me to do so.
I've also PM'd them asking to fix their bug regarding the bet's paths in the all_bets 'callback' from their side. But they haven't responded me in weeks. So I guess the new moneypot's owners doesn't care.

Still, flappybit is up at http://flappybit.com

Little update,

There is now a Faucet button. Allowing the users to get 2 bits every 5 minutes.

As said on the first post:

You will first need to connect in order to see the bet buttons/chat/bet logs.
If when connecting you still can't see them, please open your browser's bebug console and report any bug/error message to me

Also, the website was not made to be friendly with phone. Maybe someone will make a mobile version that i'll be able to merge but yet, I haven't planned to do one. (if you're trying to play from your phone)

Thanks for the report, waiting your response

Agreed, I just just stumble on lucky' before this. But I love the design and I saw in chat that a faucet is coming soon, which will help garner more attention. I would love to learn how to make sites like this.

Am I missing something here? I cant find any buttons to make a bet, cant see my balance in the page, even I cant see my own username unless I make a message on chat box.
Maybe adding FAQ page would be helpful for your new players.

The link was pointing to a github page. Nothing suspicious about github in general since its a place where people store their code.
Also, honestly, I am not trying to make money, this thread is more like about to tell the people that flappybit is here again with better stuff. Again, made for a learning purpose and it's open sourced so other people can learn from it

I already bought the domain. http://flappybit.com/
I also edited the first post replacing the links.

I do agree with your suggestion. He must invest some money first on his domain before start promoting it.

Yes, I do agree. You should spend little money before you try to make money.

Site design looks good so you can invest money to buy some decent domain name. The link looks like more suspicious to open your site. I opened your site only after reading many comments in this thread.

yeah look at the sites of interest, at least add to the list of games to get bitcoin, cheers

No idea

Can it handle a lot of traffic?

No. I don't think I would need one. Since it's only html pages, Github Pages can host them pretty well.
Also, http://flappybit.com is now online and seems to be working fine.

do you have a hosting plan?

Hey, yea i saw it sorry I didn't answered back... I already bought the domain http://flappybit.com
I'm changing the DNS records now. Since I'm not sure of what I'm doing, it might take some time
