Show HN: Hash Heroes – A daring Ethereum lottery game

Hi everyone, we’re two software developers who have been really excited by the potential of the blockchain. We’ve seen a lot of ICO’s and media attention in the crypto space, but we haven’t seen many accessible decentralized apps out on the market. We wanted to build a great first experience for people to use an Ethereum-based app, and we wanted it to be fun. Instead of hyping up an ICO, we built this game where anyone can win big. We hope you have fun playing it, and please let us know if you have any feedback.

One component used in our game is the hash-heroes icon generator, which is available on npm (https://www.npmjs.com/package/hash-heroes) and GitHub (https://khakiprojects.github.io/hash-heroes/). Any developers out there who want to generate cool icons based on Ethereum addresses should check it out and let us know what you think!

The Solidity contract code is available on etherscan (https://etherscan.io/address/0x103992432927f7ed1a5b3dc0e3418...)

Yeah, I think MetaMask is definitely the smoothest way to integrate any kind of Ethereum apps at the moment. I use it as a temporary wallet just for when I need to use dapps like this. Just send in a small amount and use it for whatever you need to do.

I guess it could be used as a serious wallet though. They give you a recovery seed so even if your computer was destroyed, you could get the backup. The only concern would be if someone got your laptop and cracked your passcode, they would have access to your funds.
