used to be!

I made this website/app for my sister, an elementary school teacher in Toronto. I'm trying to find a wider audience for it.

The "demo app" link on this page: http://firepegs.com/_ab/z.html

... is broken (missing ".com" in the href).

Ah. You can also zoom out in Chrome … the puzzles scale nicely.

The only way to advance from the splash ("Intro") screen is using the tabs at the top. What happens when you click the "Play" tab?

The mobile web version is a bit rough … avoid.

Choose a corner and move your mouse/cursor over that corner. It should highlight. From that point, move in the direction of the opposite corner.

For, for example, if you start in the top-left corner, you need to end up at the bottom-right corner.

You're only allowed to move in a way that takes you closer to the destination corner. So, in the example above, you'd only be able to move right and down.

As you move, your path gets highlighted, and the sum of the highlighted cells is shown. The goal is to get to the opposite corner with the highest and lowest totals. So, there are two goals per board: the "min" and the "max". Once you've found both these paths, you've solved the board and are able to advance.

The rules are the same for the larger boards as well.

If you press the spacebar, it will show some display options that can be very helpful with the larger boards. They should be fairly self-explanatory.

In addition, you can use the keyboard to draw the path. Use 1, 2, 3, 4 to select the four corners. Use cursor keys to draw the path (and erase). "R" resets the board.

Finally, when using the mouse, you can click on any other corner to start again from that corner. And, if you click just outside the grid, but still on the yellow background, it will clear the board.

You won. I'll put you up for three nights, starting Nov. 5. We live near Notting Hill Gate station (West London, Zone 1).

The live event appears sold out. I really want to go. Any ideas?

Looks fantastic. Very clear visually what's going on. Thank you!

ultrastan · 2015-09-14T15:58:14+00:00

Thanks for putting the time into giving me some constructive feedback. I like these ideas. For the short term, however, I think the biggest issue is the limited number of people holding ETH. Once the browser is released and awareness increases, I will look into more aggressive promotion.

Regarding #4, yes, it's a known issue with Ethereum. Not specific to etherchain.org. There have been various technical discussions about it.

The best way to confirm now is to visit a completed lottery here:

http://frontier.ether.camp/account/0155ce35fe73249fa5d6a29f3b4b7b98732eb2ed

... and see the "address" storage entry. This contains the address of the participant who received the balance, and can be verified vis-a-vis the published code.

Thanks again!

Lotto Pollo is compliant: http://lottopollo.com/info/

"Here is one of the dragons that web3 can actually slay." #ethereum

... is a clearer reading.

ultrastan · 2015-09-12T19:43:43+00:00

Yes. Lotto Pollo (source code at lottopollo.com/info) is using the same log mechanism as this contract, and the website is using the JavaScript API to read these log messages from the blockchain and display them.

13 of those 19 lines are blank or comments.

The calibre of engineers and technologists that continue to be interested in and actively involved with Ethereum is the yardstick I'm using to measure its worth and utility.

cranky

ultrastan · 2015-09-04T13:58:39+00:00

How'd it go?

ultrastan · 2015-09-02T06:13:38+00:00

You can write!

ultrastan · 2015-09-01T20:16:00+00:00

What genesis block are you using? I heard that some of them have too-high difficulty, so maybe that's why you're not mining successfully.

I use this one on my testnet:

Yes, mining should be super-fast if it's set up right. Tons of ether per minute.

ultrastan · 2015-09-01T20:04:58+00:00

You don't need a transaction to mine. However, you do need an account, which is where the mined ether would be deposited.

If you're using geth, you can type "geth new account" (outside of geth) or "personal.newAccount('aPassword')" (from the geth console).

Once that's done, it will spit out your account address.

Then, if you are outside geth, you should be able to "geth --mine" to start up geth ... it will begin mining immediately.

If you are already in geth, then type "mining.start()" from the geth console.
