BitBetBot

BitBetBot lets you bet sats on whether the BTC/USD price will be HIGHER or LOWER after 144 Bitcoin blocks, roughly 24h.

How to play:

1. Add a Lightning address to your Nostr profile
The bot uses your profile Lightning address for payouts. If your profile has no Lightning address, the bot cannot start your bet.

2. Mention BitBetBot in a public note

Examples:
@BitBetBot up
@BitBetBot down

3. Wait for the bot reply

The bot will reply with a game ID and instructions.

4. Zap the BOT REPLY

Important:
Zap the bot’s reply, not your original note.

Valid zap amount:
100 to 100,000 sats

The zap amount is your bet size.

5. Payment confirmation

Once your zap is detected, the bot posts a PAID confirmation with:
- game ID
- sats paid
- current Bitcoin block
- target Bitcoin block
- reference BTC price

6. Settlement

The game settles when Bitcoin reaches the target block:
current block + 144

The bot then checks BTC/USD again.

If closing price > starting price:
HIGHER wins

If closing price <= starting price:
LOWER wins

7. Payouts

If you win:
The bot pays 2x your zap amount to your Nostr profile Lightning address.

If you lose:
No payout.

Important rules:

- Only zaps to the bot reply count.
- Zaps to your original note do not count.
- The zap must come from the same Nostr account that created the bet.
- Third-party zaps do not currently start another user’s bet.
- Make sure your Lightning address is correct before betting.
- Keep the game ID if you need support.
- Minimum bet: 100 sats Maximum bet: 100,000 sats other ammounts won't count
