Deposited 50 sats took NO on ViaBTC on block 849162 awarded 52 sats
2 sat gain.
My experience:
- Site is easy to understand but not super mobile friendly. First time I tried to use my ln address I noticed I spelled it wrong.
- After I made my bet I couldn’t track it. The site doesn’t show the user the position of was taken. I just have to go on faith after payment is made.
- After block was not ViaBTC I knew I won but I have no record to confirm this myself. Going on SN I learned payment can take up to 5 to 10 mins due to possible chain splits.
Improvement ideas:
- Make it mobile friendly. Make it easy to pay from a mobile wallet
- Allow users to login to keep records of their bets. Or do what boltz does keep history in the browser that you can review of delete at will. Also with some sort of user authentication speculators can come in and make bets easily. One thing LN markets does well. Log in and place a position is very easy. Here I have to copy and paste my ln address each time?
- Explain how winning and payments work. I didn’t see this anywhere on the site
Thank you so much for the feedback! We'll start by fixing mobile UI/UX, adding a record keeping system for users to see pending bets before any rewards are broadcasted, and getting some sort of authentication system in place to make it easy to place multiple bets!
On how the winning and payments work, we go over it on our landing page (when you click the "How it Works" button), but I can see how it's not entirely obvious. A video is in the works to better explain everything intuitively which can hopefully that can alleviate that knowledge gap!
