Fucking loot boxes on the blockchain, end my life right now

Enjoy your cease and desist order.

Can you play the game atm or is only buying?

>>6993510
true. We'll will change it to a legally safe similar name, thanks

i don't think "lambo" is copyrighted.

>>6993576

You can buy crates ATM which reward you with the exact robots you'll start the game with. We're launching the full game functionality in less than 2 weeks - it's just important to get exposure early.

But the robots will start at a 15% premium on the last crate sold, so anyone who buys early will have an advantage (as well as increased risk OFC)

>>6993576
the game here is making money

This looks sick. Actually early too. All in

>>6993651
Yep! But we also put in serious effort. We are fully fledged game developers/programmers and I guarantee you this will beat any other piece of shit dapp out of the park - literally just look at our site.

sounds like a scam but i threw $10 at it
if you guys put that much effort into scamming /biz/ you deserve the rewards t b h

>>6993875
just noticed contract code isn't even verified on etherscan
lol
enjoy my $10 you pajeets, good hustle

>>6993875
>>6993941
Novice question -- how do I do that? Code is open source on github at the bottom, presale contract is super simple and easy to audit. And this is definitely not a scam. Why would I bother when we've already put in 300+ hours developing this fucking app hahah.

>>6993941
BTW what did you get?? in the crate

>>6994043
not a programmer myself so i'm probably garbling the terms, but i know you have to send the bytecode to etherscan or somesuch. there's a "verify contract" option somewhere

EtherTulips way better fuck your scam game

>>6994043
Go to the code tab on etherscan, then verify and publish, then copy paste your source code there and select the same compiler version you used. Let it work for a minute and that should be it

>>6994145
kommander body, master sword, liquid cooler, super soaker

>>6994344
Thanks bro. Doing that right now.

op is a fag but i bought 1 anyway, at least the presentation is top notch unlike ponzicraft

>>6994358

fuuck i'll legit buy that master sword off you at launch lol

so how do we make money off this?

poorfag here.

bought 3.

>>6993373
TX failed twice, guess you don't want my money.
Well good luck sir

>>6994626

We launch in two weeks.

You can:

1. Battle other robots - you'll randomly be rewarded parts if you win. You can also level up existing parts. Parts retain their level upon selling.

2. Sell your parts (or entire robots) on a marketplace.

If you have any ideas for further functionality I'd love to here them : )I was thinking maybe you could combine multiple items into rarer ones?

Got a golden component. Worth anything?

>>6994698

Yep. They're very rare - and we are reducing their spawn probabilities after prelaunch crates, too. (You also got my favourite turret - it's supposed to be the butter-spreading robot from rick & morty).

>>6994726
This is awesome. Thank you for makking it! Putting a few eth in :)

>>6994780

Of course! happy to help. Honestly I've been in Ethereum for a couple years now and it's so satisfying actually being able to build something.

>>6995047
It looks like im getting a lot of the same thing from my crates:

Where can i open the crates?Cant see much happening after the buy.

>>6995201
Slow down your purchasing. Randomness is very difficult to generate on the blockchain - which means we use the hash of the blockchain on which the transaction is mined. If you purchase 3 in a row, you have a small chance of them being mined on the same block and having the same randomness. We'll look into a fix for this, however.

>>6995201
Because the randomness is only seeded by blocknumber. All your transactions that end up in the same block will have the same loot

Makes it easier to game the system by predicting which block will get rare parts

>>6995297
You have to wait for your transaction to be confirmed. A buy button for your crates will then appear - or you can simply open your crates up the top right (it says my robots). We should make that more obvious, I'll push up a change now.

op, how do you go about generating the pictures for something like this? i have written some solidity but my brainlet mind cannot comprehend generating the kitties/bots/crates.

>>6995297
Ok got exactly the same parts two times in a row.....hmmm bug?

>>6995313

It's not actually easier to game the system. When you have access to the hash/your parts, that block has already been mined, and it is impossible to purchase more crates on that block.

The only possible exploit is for a miner to "throw away" a block - however, this means the expected value of them throwing away that block to have just 1 more randomised chance has to be worth more than 5 ETH. It's a viable attack vector in gambling games which rely on block timestamps/hashes, but certainly not here.

Got a lambo on my fourth try!

>>6995364

With great difficulty. A lot of photoshop wrangling to get the parts into the right way - and then dynamically composing them into a robot with CSS.

>>6995421
Yeah, it actually seems like one of, if not the hardest part of making something like this. Nice job for pulling it off.

>>6995480
Thanks man :) Yeah the solidity is scary because it's immutable but the app/frontend itself took the team like 300 hours, not even lying.

>>6995395
AYYY congrats

>>6995370
Got one shadow part from one of the bots
at least its something.I dont feel too rewarded though.

>>6995540
Hey - sorry man! If it's any consolation, each crate only has a 48% chance of having a rare part (combining rarities), and this will drop to <12% when presale ends. Also --- the rarity of the parts are definitely not everything. Each robot you own allows you to fight, and level up/win items in battle (ala cryptokitties siring, but more fun)

>>6995599
is there only 1 gold lambo?

>>6995386
Correct me if I'm wrong, because I could be.

You're looking at the hash of the previous block. Your source code states which parts of the end result determine rarity. So technically when a new block is found, you can precalculate the result of your random function, and if it's good enough, you can place an order with a high enough gas price to be included in the next block.

Obviously this needs to be automated because you have less than 15 seconds, but it is possible

>>6995599
Got it man ill just buy some more.Im hooked.

so basically it already cost almost $50
people aren't going to spend $50 or $60 or soon to be $100 on playing a robot game

the primary use here is ponzi scheme speculating. get in now, the price on these items will go up. but when the price can go no higher, who is left buying? so you sell your parts, but to who? is there a rush of people coming in to play the game to buy those parts? not at $150 a robot they're not

what say you to this op. i feel guilty writing it because i dont want to shit on your parade here. i think you got a slick product. but as always with ethereum projects of this nature, the price seems too high

>>6995676

we have a solution to what you're saying ;)

the price doesn't go up linearly, because we didn't want people to be locked out of buying what we want to be a really fun/rewarding game.

It halves at 0.1 ETH, 0.2 ETH and 0.3 ETH, so it can't really get much more expensive than that.

>>6995629
Quick maths: worst case probabilistic scenario is if all presale crates sell (which is the only time they're available), which is 3900 * (1/15) (lambo chance) * (1/20) (gold chance for presale), so 13 gold lambos at max (probabilstically obv)

>>6995632

Hey! Very interesting - could you come have a chat on the site? There's a life chat feature there. This is difficult. I'm pretty sure that attack vector is not possible though, I did a lot of research, but I'm open to ideas.

YASS
GOT 2 GOLD IN ONE CRATE!
And tuna!I love tuna!

>>6996068
Holy shit. 0.25% chance of that happening.

>>6996145
Now i feel rewarded enough.
Will think about plus functionalities that you could add.

>>6996223
Please do! Feedback is literally gold (excuse the pun)

>metamask only
dropped

>>6996305
How do we support functionality for other methods? We can build that in ASAP.

>>6996305
Works with mist, just checked.

>>6996330
make option to log in by entering wallet address, and give instructions to send witthout metamask(like giving exact amount, max gas amounts and additional data)
some people doesn't want to use extensions

>>6996453
You can call the getPrice function, and then payable function with any ethereum provider. I don't really want to risk people losing funds by doing it manually though.

>>6996305
metamask is the easiest shit to use.

>>6993373
When will marketplace be released?

How did I do biz bros?

It shows the robot costs 75$???

>>6996587
14 days. We have a timeline on our page. This is hardcoded via a timelock on the presale too.

>>6996610
dam that is one wack looking robot you silly mofo

>>6996971
It does look fucking nuts. So I have 2 legendary pieces correct?

>>6993373
its time to stop

>>6997038

no bro they are electric I'm sorry :( I think the shiel d is gold though.

I hope its good, if I cant fight in 2 weeks I am going to fight you lol

le beanie baby fais

>>6997265
Our business details our public. No way we'd lose our reputations by not following this through. See you in the arena!

>>6993373
who /lucky/ here?

>>6993373
>ugly ass retard robots
no thanks.

Are we going to be able to mix and match parts to customize bots? Or is it just whatevers in the box has to be your bot?

>>6997265
thats 2 gold piece! 0.25% too???
welcome to the team bro

>>6997667
Any part you get can be combined with any other part at any point in time. You can mix and match two crates and sell parts you don't like.

Pretty sure you can mix and match them as well as sell the parts. Also some of the descriptions are pretty funny, well done. This is gonna be bigger than crypto kitties

LMAO
This is a clear scam;
I wanted to prove it all by providing you information through screenshots but he made the chat go offline; deleting all of the evidence.

There will be no actual game being released in 18 days. They don't have shit;
They just have some ccs and a designer that made them some nice designs.

This is the same as Ethertanks.
Don't give these guys your money.

can't buy more eth cuz my credit card is maxed, can't transfer cuz i'd have to sell 1/4 of my req cuz i got reqt, wanna buy a goddamn robot. feelsreallyreallybad

>>6998171
>salty nobotter

Check it the fuck out

Will you be able to sell unopened crates in the future?

I'm afraid of pulling nothing but shit, but wouldn't mind investing a few k into something that pumps itself.

>>6998171
1. He told me about a "fully featured game with leaderboards, battling, building, blablabla"
Then I asked him to prove that. (gameplay footage, screenshots, anything)
Because surely, you can't develop a full game in 18 days.
Then he told me he can't do that because of "competiveness reasons"

2. He told me that he they are a "public company from Victoria and that they aren't anonymous".
Then I asked him to prove that. To send me information about his company and his members.
Then he told me "it is all in the privacy policy".
I actually read the whole privacy policy and terms and conditions.
There is no information in there. Probably just copy & pasted that from another website and adjusted the names to "his company"
I called him out on that and he disconnected me from the chat.

3. The live chat. He tries to convince you through that and is talking about his "good intentions". Don't fall for stuff like that. Always wonder what the true intentions of a face that you don't know are.

3. Their github is 9 hours old.
4. Their social media channels have been just made and nothing is one there.
5. You can sense he is agitated if you're asking him for actual information.

I know it looks tempting. But false promises like this won't make you rich. He is scamming you to get rich himself.
DO NOT FALL FOR IT;
DO NOT GIVE THIS FUCKING FAGGOT SHITHEAD YOUR MONEY

>>6998577
Even if they would have nothing i can see it as an easy success.
The idea is really good.So if this would be a scam they should think about making it real kek

>>6998577
Actually took the time to read the github CratePreSale.sol code

There is no proof of the golden and shadow parts actually being more rare than the standard parts.
He tries deceiving you though with the comments (//).
He doesn't even know how to write a convincing false code because he is just a shitty graphical designer.

>>6998924
Can't be a succes if you're not able to sell off your worthless robots in a marketplace.
There is no game. There is no marketplace.
And it surely won't "release" in 18 days.

Look into Ethertanks. Exactly the same happened.

>>6998997
Already spent half an eth on it, oh well lmao

>>6998171
>>6998577
>>6998997
Thanks for the FUD. Steering cleae of this. Thought it was weird someone got a gold lambo so easily right from the start when devs said it was extremely rare

>>6998997
That is unfortunate.

What makes me wonder though is, why would he bother to set up this whole elaborate system rather than just leaving it at "chests unlock at launch lul"?

PAJEETED

>>6998997
Found out even more about this faggot.
He is Redditor.
https://www.reddit.com/user/NotCricketski
Have a look at this comments.

>He doesn't know how to code because he asked "is it easy to learn?". When talking about programming smart-contracts.
>He had another scam like this in the past "cryptopussies"

Let's put this shithead to justice. Come on, we have his Reddit account. But I am not able to do black hat hacking.
I NEED ANOTHER WARRIOR IN HERE!

This is a carbon copy clone of Worldofether.com. Thievery at it's finest. I guess that comes with the field. Just sucks that they are going to put a bad spin for all crypto-games.
