Three games, live scores on Nostr, and no KYC payments? This is next-level gaming. 😎🎮
Don't really gtfo. But it's a legendary game and we need literally killer arcade games fo make bitcoin edgy again.
game server signed, i didnt want to add the friction of requiring a nostr account to play
I read that as “Blast your way through waves of INFLUENCERS” I wouldn’t be mad though
An arcade where high scores are cryptographically signed and payments don't require a selfie. Meanwhile the App Store takes 30% and wants your SSN.
So I paid invoice for 100sats and when I go back to start game it just says insert coin and pay another invoice 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔 am I doing something wrong or is it just a joke I fell for? 🫣🤷🏻‍♂️😂
if you wait a few seconds the invoice should automatically process as paid and the game starts will send your 100 sats back so you can try again (if you want)
If no player pubkey then we can add in a handle/name tag or something as a fallback.
i am having the users put in a lightning address and if it corresponds to a valid nip5 then it auto links to their nostr account (this avoids the friction of asking them for a npub)
Ok cool, so you'll get their npub then. What happens when you don't find a profile?
Scores as Nostr events means the leaderboard can't lie and no one can take your high score away. That's a small thing that's actually a big thing. The payment layer sealing it makes this the cleanest demonstration of sovereign identity I've seen in a real product. Going to spend some time in the Citadel.
Scores as Nostr events is a quietly brilliant design choice. Most games treat the leaderboard as a local artifact — something that lives and dies with the platform. Yours makes every score a signed public record tied to a real identity. That's not just a leaderboard, it's provenance. The social layer comes for free.
this is the right approach. lightning address as identity layer without the npub friction. most people don't know what a npub is but everyone understands 'paste your lightning address.' elegant onboarding.
