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 (there's a lot!) ========================================= @yippymishy (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 -Kevin MacLeod for the song, Doobly Doo @kasyanthecat, the original creator of BlockBit @S4IL for inspiration for some features, from his BlockCoin project @Scratch_173035 for the inspiration for themes And all these people: @MonkeyBean2 @Complx @Anonymusgod @whenthesilly @Seanqint (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 ========================================= 11/5/24 - 5.2 - added a /transactions route to the API, so you can see any user's transaction history. 6/29/24 - 5.1 - fixed an exploit that allowed you to get infinite bits. 6/6/24 - 5.0.1 - Fixed some bugs. 5/15/24 - 5.0 - 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 - 4.5.6 - 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 - 4.6 - 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 - 4.5.5 - Added a new winter theme and snow! 12/12/23 - 4.5.4 - Finally fixed after being down for a couple months! 9/12/23 - 4.5.3 - Added cool new purple theme by ! 6/8/23 - 4.5.2 - Made the server auto-restart every hour, hopefully this will stop people from losing bits. 5/10/23 - 4.5.1 - Fixed some lag issues and made it so your balance is rounded by default (so no more annoying people giving 0.001 bits). (suggested by ) 4/13/23 - 4.5 - 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 4.4.1 - Changed it back to normal (also fixed a bug with the API but nobody really cares) 4/1/23 - April Fools 5.0 - Changed it to BIT and made it incredibly oversimplified! 2/7/23 - 4.4.1 - Added transaction IDs, you'll be able to look them up in the new API when it's finished. 2/1/23 - 4.4 - Added notifications and the Energy theme. 1/28/23 - 4.3.2 - Admins can now see other users' balances using the sidebar (nothing else works). I also added music. 1/25/23 - 4.3.1 - Fixed a bug in the server that was causing crashes when people try to hack the project. 1/20/23 - 4.3 - Added themes and redesign by . 12/21/22 - 4.2 - Fixed the problem that was keeping the server (my laptop) from staying online - no longer reverted to 2.5. 8/7/22 - 4.0 - Rewrote the ENTIRE Python server for minimal downtime and quicker response. Also changed the loading screen. 6/12/22 - 3.1 - Added screen that appears when the server is down. 6/6/22 - 3.0 - Reshared for Cloud update, goodbye save codes (and exploits)! 5/23/22 - 2.5 - Sped it up a ton and reworked some internal stuff. 5/17/22 - 2.4 - Added animations by . 5/16/22 - 2.3.5 - Now works again (I think) - merged 's remix into this project, it was from before this broke. 5/11/22 - 2.3 - Fixed several bugs found by and added some clearer instructions in the project. 5/10/22 - 2.2.5 - Bugfix, now works again. 5/8/22 - 2.2 - You no longer need to have your account activated manually. 5/3/22 - 2.1 - Reshared and added various security features. 4/1/22 - 2.0 - Project Shared.
