I know this is a really old thread, but I made one about a month ago :-)


The Ethereum building game: Profit when people place blocks on top of yours!


Website: https://pyramidgame.jesbus.com/
Github: https://github.com/JesseBusman/PyramidGame
Contract on etherscan.io with verified Solidity source code: https://etherscan.io/address/0xC3c94e2d9A33AB18D5578BD63DfdaA3e0EA74a49

The rules of this game are pretty simple: Blocks on the bottom layer cost 0.005 ETH. Blocks on each next layer cost twice as much:
  • Layer 1: 0.005 ETH
  • Layer 2: 0.01 ETH
  • Layer 3: 0.02 ETH
  • Layer 4: 0.04 ETH
  • etc...
When someone places a block on top of yours, you get half the value from that block. So, when one block has been placed on top of yours, you've made your money back. When two blocks have been placed on top of yours, you've doubled your money!

There's a 0.5% fee.
At the time I'm writing this, 1777 blocks have been placed. The highest block is at layer 10: 2.56 ETH
An interesting aspect of this game is that you can never definitively lose. Either you win soon, or you wait a while longer until you win.

It works with MetaMask, Mist and Parity.

Not the most popular, but definitely one of the unique ones is the ETH Wealth Redistribution Experiment
http://contractsjust4fun.github.io/WealthRedistributionExperiment/

On this one you see action in your wallet every time there is a deposit. no waiting hours or days to see a return.

Low 1 ETH risk, just for fun.

Play Shiny Squirrels - Multiply Your Ether
Best opportunities are from Rubixi and Little Cactus, which slowed momentarily but will snowball as soon as the current paywalls are broken - which is not far off now.  Both have successfully paid out large deposits before and their queues are both small and consisting of mostly small deposits.

Rubixi:
0xe82719202e5965Cf5D9B6673B7503a3b92DE20be

Little Cactus:
0x1213C29B5E1A6f33e0d044f850a57B665e3cDE21

And The Greed Pit has a fun psychological component and reward system.  It's queue is also small enough that it's not too late to get in on the fun:

I agree this is the best so far in terms of ROI likely until someone matches the same fee structure but with more interactive elements like GreedPit or Governmental.

Either that or something which has negative fees by performing a useful function for another group. For example you could provide the bitcoin mixing service for Ethereum while having a game in the contract. When someone who wants to use the game for cleaning ethereum uses a function they would get back 98% instead of %125 ponzi rate but it would be instant. The interaction of the coin mixing could also be used as a seed for random events or bonus within the game. Maybe it's not possible... interesting idea though. (I realize that shapeshifting to Monero is a much better way to do that)

Each pyramid system don't  have long lifetime people will lose money at the end. It's another way to scam people but when you know it's pyramid system you don't have to cry if you don't get anything back.

The no fee pyramid has no limit per user, it is very capable of failing soon. ?

I don't think, this is the most promising as of now

I like the GreedPit for the concept but no fee pyramid is quite appealing as well Smiley

I found this pyramid with interesting parameter in the other part of this board. I think it should be moved here.

I tried it; shameless copypaste aside, it's quite safe and profitable.

As for best dapp, popularity aside, I'd have to shamelessly nominate my own: the greed pit  Roll Eyes

I think for sure the 0% fee ponzi will be the most popular this week. It has over 400 transactions and it just came out this morning.

 Also guessing people will start to make clones of the popular games now and move towards 0% fee and creators just investing in making the initial transactions to make back development costs.
