Welcome to LNBingo — a free-to-play Bingo game powered by a Twitter bot where the winners of each draw are paid instantly in Bitcoin over The Lightning Network.
I built this bot as a proof of concept to educate/help newcomers understand the power of the Lightning Network with instant payments in Bitcoin. The Lightning Network is a decentralized system for instant, high-volume, instant settlement, near zero fee micropayments using the Bitcoin network. In this use case, winners are paid via the LNURL-Withdrawl protocol which delivers a QR code via a DM to your Twitter inbox which you can instantly redeem for BTC into your Lightning wallet.
The 5 selected winning numbers are selected non-deterministically for each draw by deriving the first 5 two-digit decimal numbers from the hash of the last confirmed block on the Bitcoin blockchain. See https://lnbingoapp.com/random for details on this methodology.
I've tried to make this as non-spammy looking as possible but open to all feedback on how to improve the design. There's no email signup, no exchange or capture of wallet addresses. In order for the bot to work you need to follow @lnbingoapp but you can unfollow at any time. Looking forward to your feedback. Thanks for checking it out.
