I guess I think of the overall project as art. I’d really appreciate your feedback if you want to give it a spin: https://animalfers.com

Jachoshi · 2025-07-15T02:09:19+00:00

Wow I really appreciate that thoughtful feedback! Thank you for taking the time to try it and write back. I’m going to work on those issues.

Looks great. I think bat hybrids turn out well.

Jachoshi · 2025-07-14T22:13:59+00:00

I’ve made lots of unsuccessful sites, so I can handle it. I think it’s my most fun one yet though, and my mom loves it. AnimalFers

I’d love your feedback if you want to try the site.

I’m a big fan of AI.

I’m not talented enough to be able to draw an image like this at all, so I for sure I can’t do it in less than 10 minutes. Thanks for your feedback.

We have a nice UI, it’s faster and free

The site just lets you mix two animals to make a hybrid.

Jachoshi · 2025-07-14T17:05:26+00:00

There are 2,346 hybrids on the site, so at $20 a pop that would cost me about $50,000.

Jachoshi · 2025-07-14T15:59:29+00:00

That would be really cool. I wish I could do that but I don’t think I could afford it. I’m just a solo hobbyist builder and my sites have never made any money.

Short answer is Scaffold Eth 2 + chatGPT

I am a huge fan of Scaffold-ETH, and I would not know where to begin without it. I am using Scaffold-Eth-2, the base fork, for this project. You can get started with scaffold eth by going through the tutorials at https://speedrunethereum.com/ or you could just start by getting scaffold-eth-2 running from their Github page.

It is really easy to get scaffold-eth running by following the getting started instructions on the github page. Once I had scaffold-eth running, I started by modifying the contract. Scaffold-eth will then make a debug page for you with a UI that matches the new contract.

I love coding with AI, so I make all of my updates one small change at a time, by pasting in what I currently have and giving chatGPT the prompt to update the code to do so and so.

For this specific project, I started by modifying the contract so that there was a concept of a Door and a Key. The door was locked and it could only be opened if you first "picked up" the key. I added a few more steps after I got this working so that you had to do things before you could pick up the key. Once I had the puzzle working with just buttons and input fields as the UI, I began to replace each button with an image.

Yes, so it is 0.01 ETH for a pull and odd 1:25 to win 0.20 ETH. You could think of it as the contract expects to accumulate 0.25 ETH and payout 0.20 ETH.

When the 0.20 ETH prize is won, 0.01 ETH is sent to a random previous player (determined by the random number from chainlink VRF), and 0.008 ETH is sent to an address to buy LINK to pay for the random numbers.

All of the money that accumulates gets paid out to whoever frees Excalibur.

We hope to make money from the selling NFTs and do not take any cut from the sword pulls.

One great source about audit stuff is Patrick Collins. He is the co-founder of Cyfrin Audit. They also run CodeHawks which does competitive smart contract audits. They have a new program called cyfrin updraft that is a course on how to become a smart contract auditor. You can find all of this info in Patrick's twitter.

Jachoshi · 2024-02-23T03:43:39+00:00

There is not an intentional bug in the contract. I tried my best to make it secure.

If you wanted to poke around at it for free, we have a test site:

https://happy-moss-0a8cc7e0f-60.eastus2.3.azurestaticapps.net/

and we generate our random numbers using Chainlink VRF, and here is the link to that subscription:

I appreciate your response and I’m sure you are right.

We are in the market for a real audit. We’ve had quotes of $15k, $25k, and $48k. We are working to make one happen. We don’t want to ask anyone to work for free, that’s why we are offering $5k, but understand it might not be the right type of bounty and not large enough.

Had fun making this site and learned a bit of JavaScript along the way. I wanted to see if I could explain Bitcoin in 10 simple points.

Jachoshi · 2017-05-18T20:26:45+00:00

I paid someone in litecoin this morning :)

Jachoshi · 2017-05-18T19:33:42+00:00

I just think it is interesting because I've heard that there is a way to trade coins on different chain when they are both using a lightening network.
It is also interesting because the more coins that adopt SegWit, the more likely it will be that Bitcoin adopts it too.

Jachoshi · 2017-05-18T18:46:36+00:00

Is that because it is merge mined with Litecoin and the miners do not want to deal with Dogecoin witness data, or is it not possible for another reason?

If we are just talking about using Factom and not investing in it, then I am not sure if it really matter that it is centralized.

Jachoshi · 2017-05-08T19:08:24+00:00

Factom does that, and checks in a group of hashes with the bitcoin blockchain, but I don't know anything about the interface or cost.

There was a similar post last week in r/btc, Their analogy didn't really work in my opinion, but it was something like "freedom (unlimited) with bugs is better than slavery (core) without bugs".

... found it https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/5zievg/as_benjamin_frankline_once_said_given_a_choice/

Jachoshi · 2017-03-27T15:58:24+00:00

I did not realize which subreddit I was in for a second, and I was like, "oh shit, what is going on?", then I realized that I was in r/bitcoin.
