BlockBit v5 is HERE! I remade the whole project from scratch (no pun intended), allowing it to be way faster and have cool new features - like notifications (click the bell in the top left)! *it's still in beta so there may be some issues DESCRIPTION ========================================= BlockBit is a currency/points system for Scratch with no real value (on or off Scratch)! You can use it to create shops - projects where you can "sell" things for BlockBits! It can also be used in all sorts of other ways like in games, or as a prize for winning a contest! Before creating a shop, read this forum post by the Scratch Team about what's allowed with this type of project - I don't want your shop to be removed! https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/340012/ SHOPS AND STUFF ========================================= Here's the BlockBit shop studio, where you can find shops - and add your own! https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/31631711/ CREDITS ========================================= - @yippymishy (not me) for creating this project and programming the server for it - @TimMcCool, who created ScratchAttach (which is the Python library I used to create the server for this project), and lots of scripts related to that in this project. - @kasyanthecat, the original creator of BlockBit. - @S4IL for inspiration for some features, from his BlockCoin project. - @Scratch_173035 for the inspiration for themes - @Complx for some themes and some ideas - @MonkeyBean2 for some help with the server and with the API. - Kevin MacLeod for the song, Doobly Doo - And some other people who helped with stuff ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... (tell me if your name should be here but isn't) API =========================================== The API can be found at blockbit.yippymishy.com (work in progress). I'm also working on creating docs for it! GITHUB ========================================= The code for the server and API can be found on my GitHub, yippymishy. CHANGELOG ========================================= 5/15/24 - v5 - Huge update! Remade the entire project from scratch (no pun intended), which allowed for lots of cool new features like notifications/transaction history! 1/19/24 - v4.5.6 - Cloud vars are back, so no more verification codes! Basically just back to how it was before 4.6, so the version is named accordingly. 1/15/24 - v4.6 - Added comment verification to prevent exploits, so now you'll have to comment a 6-digit verification code (given to you by the project) to give bits to a user, and the comment will be automatically deleted. Also added some admin features. 12/13/23 - v4.5.5 - Added a new winter theme and snow! 12/12/23 - v4.5.4 - Finally fixed after being down for a couple months! 9/12/23 - v4.5.3 - Added cool new purple theme by ! 6/8/23 - v4.5.2 - Made the server auto-restart every hour, hopefully this will stop people from losing bits. 5/10/23 - v4.5.1 - Fixed some lag issues (possibly) and made it so your balance is rounded by default (so no more annoying people giving 0.00000000000001 bits), but you can choose to turn this off. 4/13/23 - v4.5 - Added search button and leaderboard button! The search button lets you see another user's balance, and the leaderboard button shows the 5 users with the most bits. 4/8/23 - Back to v4.4.1 - Changed it back to normal (also fixed a bug with the API but nobody really cares) 4/1/23 - April Fools v5.0 - Changed it to BIT and made it *incredibly* oversimplified! 2/7/23 - v4.4.1 - Added transaction IDs, you'll be able to look them up in the new API when it's finished. 2/1/23 - v4.4 - Added notifications and the Energy theme. 1/28/23 - v4.3.2 - Admins can now see other users' balances using the sidebar (nothing else works). I also added music. 1/25/23 - v4.3.1 - Fixed a bug in the server that was causing crashes when people try to hack the project 1/20/23 - v4.3 - Added themes and redesign by 12/21/22 - v4.2 - Fixed the problem that was keeping the server (my laptop) from staying online - no longer reverted to v2.5. 8/7/22 - v4.0 - Rewrote the ENTIRE Python server for minimal downtime and quicker response. Also changed the loading screen. 6/12/22 - v3.1 - Added screen that appears when the server is down. 6/6/22 - v3.0 - Reshared for Cloud update, goodbye save codes (and exploits)! 5/23/22 - v2.5 - Sped it up a ton and reworked some internal stuff 5/17/22 - v2.4 - Added AMAZING animations by 5/16/22 - v2.3.5 Now works again (I think) - merged 's remix into this project, it was from before this broke. 5/11/22 - v2.3 - Fixed several security issues found by and added some clearer instructions in the project 5/10/22 - v2.2.5 - Bugfix, now works again. 5/8/22 - v2.2 - You no longer need to have your account activated manually. 5/3/22 - v2.1 - Reshared and added various security features. 4/1/22 - v2.0 - Project Shared.
Thanks to yippymishy for the original project!
