Nash's first community app

It might be a good idea to remove the “trade” field, and just have each spin set to $10 or something, and maybe an option to “2x” or “5x” your win chance (which just sets each spin to $20 or $50).

I’m not sure if it’s possible to detect current balances and have the trading pair switch back and forth automatically? (If you have $30 in BTC, then you’d get 6 spins of $5 and then have to manually switch to “USDC for BTC”, and repeat that process every 5 or so spins. Ideally you’d want to be able to click the spin button over and over without being interrupted and breaking that immersion).

Pretty cool overall. I wonder if we could make something visually similar to that old 1986 Zelda game, which executes a trade in order to interact with objects, or to replenish Action Points(AP) it executes 1 trade to generate 12AP. Something simple and fun with a high replay value.

look at nanoquake. perhaps we can make a fun community shooter port from a shooting game, and use nash somehow with it!

cool idea, keep us updated when its live again. want to support it.

I swear of nash that you motivated me to do a contribution as well.
I will work on UX designs suggestions during the summerbreak. The community needs people like you! :slight_smile:

If you can use some funds like NEX as a buffer on the casino, I can spare maybe 20 for example (just put an address) :+1:

Just an idea, what about doing a monthly lottery? ppl can put in and the team may keep like 5-10% to be used purely for development/marketing or whatever seems fit? Not sure if it’s illegal lmao, definatley seems like it but just putting it out there.

same here…I would contribute with 20 nex as well :+1:

Happy to report Nash Casino is back in operation !

N.B: if you had already created an account, you don’t have to create another one. If creating a new account, write the password down as there is no way to reset it (no email)!

Here are a few improvements from last time it was open:

  • UI (largely inspired by @Vaugrin)
    • Improved bet amount selection
    • Easy pair direction switch
  • Last trading pair/direction remembered
  • Cashouts (converting credits to NEX) are fixed
  • Bonus : You get 5 credits for your first time of the day, no matter the spin result :fire:

Thank you all for your messages and suggestions. Our community is amazing!

For those willing to contribute by sending a few NEX to make the Casino run longer, here’s the address: AWMbVW1trC8c4rmGXU1ymvnL5VerrrTJdj

Tried it out and it works great! Even though I am Canadian and can’t use Nash trading services, I guess the API bypasses that because we can still send funds to trading contract and withdraw (I guess that the power of a dex and open sourced api :slight_smile: ).

Beautiful, feels much smoother!

As in each time the user spins, they get +1 raffle ticket towards a monthly lottery? (in BTC or USDC, if NEX isn’t legal). That’d be kinda cool, and an added incentive, but would require some sort of self-sustaining system (either the raffle prize pool increases based on trading fees generated from spins, or a small partition of staked NEX providing dividends). Having the outstanding raffle prize total be visible in the corner might be enticing.

Really depends how far we want to take this app.

I find this hilarious.

Whenever someone asks: "When trading available in X country? :frowning: "
Our response: "Don’t worry, just spin this! < URL> :smiley: "

By the way, planned future improvements include:

  • display balances on the app
  • unlock ETH/USDC and NEO/USDC pairs

Very nice app. Creates a nice small amount of volume from people who use this. And I’ve already won 5 NEX! Thank you @Oldsport. Also, the trades run very smooth. I see them immediately on the trading screen.

If you’d add a function that continously lets this casino run by trading $10 back an forth on the same pair, I’d definitely use it. With only 10 bucks, you can create 1k volume while also having the chance to win some nex.

Really nice app. it show case what’s possible :slight_smile:
Just an idea, how about making a market maker bot to provide sell and buy offers with tighter spread? this way the player loss is minimized and the bot still makes say 0.1%
you can use the bot profit to buy nex and add it to the prize

:information_source: Update: I just put the Casino back in maintenance mode.

Someone has been using the Casino programmatically and made 1160 trades in a short span of time. He didn’t break the rules and did generate $11.6k volume on Nash, but this is not the spirit of the game :wink:

As a result, I will be taking a few additional measures to ensure the game remains fun and available to everyone!

Nash Casino will reopen soon! :slot_machine:

P.S: BTW this shows Nash can handle several trades per second no problem :zap:

:information_source: Update: Nash Casino is open again!

I raised the credits-to-NEX conversion rate, so playing went from quite profitable to balanced. It’s the only way to truly discourage such actions. I hope you guys understand!

As a remainder, playing can still be very profitable if you get lucky! :money_mouth_face:
