5% on tickets, 1% on donations. Ticket fees probably should be lower - I didn’t spend too much time thinking about it other than it should cover the reward payout routing fee (up to 1%)

@René Aaron

I tried this a few days ago and for some reason copilot could make issues but didn’t have access to make PRs. Did something change? Or it only works on a paid plan?

First 1,000 tickets (shark) purchase on Blotto. The final level is 10,000 tickets (whale 🐳). I wonder if it will happen before the game ends

Didn’t work for me - Alby Hub sub-wallet with 100 sats on it nostr+walletconnect://b7a62b395a1491c4d8f824ec0a587760c7b81883bfc09525eba437f717e8a18c?relay=wss://relay.getalby.com/v1&secret=fa20f6f9f84c6536cab28553324422335bd45d579e02cadc56389f38f3333c06 P.S. you could add bitcoin connect rather than an input field to paste the NWC connection secret. It has more user-friendly flows

That’s right, not on your end.

It’s a routing error so this is different. Can you check your node page? Who do you have channels with? Do you know if the recipient is online to receive the payment?

The exact same one?

Do you still have a channel open?

No, I just had a look. Cool that it’s probably fair. Did anyone build it based on this idea? This would be a much better approach if someone wanted to take the game further. Blotto though is just a simple showcase of what can be done with LNFly

HUGE Blotto update: - Buy multiple tickets at once - Nostr Bot with enthusiastic AI announcer (Powered by https://ppq.ai) - Donate to the prize pool - Still 1-shot prompted with LNFly! Starting at 2 hours with a 40K prize pool donated from the last game that was unclaimed! Buy a ticket here: https://lnfly.albylabs.com/api/apps/199/view

Less than 4 hours remaining on Blotto - prize pool is at 105k sats. Can we keep it alive for one more day? 210 sats buys 10 tickets and 10 minute time increase. 1-shot prompted in LNFly with Bitcoin Connect and Nostr Wallet Connect for seamless payments

The blotto game has finally ended with 198 tickets sold! Winning ticket is ticket number 346 If you downloaded this ticket, you can now upload it and enter your lightning address to claim the prize at https://lnfly.albylabs.com/api/apps/60/view

Yeah, a future iteration could slowly decrease how much additional time a paid ticket gives. I didn’t actually expect so many tickets to be purchased 🤣

Blotto lightning lottery has less than 20 minutes remaining! Prize pool: 15000 sats. Buy a ticket for just 210 sats at https://lnfly.albylabs.com/api/apps/60/view

Wow! I woke up today and the Blotto game is still going, now at 55 tickets purchased! https://lnfly.albylabs.com/api/apps/60/view Thanks and for sharing!

Hmm thanks, I’ll look into it. Can you try a different lightning address for now?

Did you win? 😁

Have you tried Alby Hub? I lived off my self-custodial lightning wallet spending bitcoin for a month in El Salvador without a single failed payment. (Accomodation, food, groceries, bitdriver etc)
