Very nice work. Like some others have commented, I was unable to log in with lightning-supported browser extensions, so i had to use username/password. When I clicked on a market and tried to buy shares in an outcome, i received a small red popup which said "Prediction is not valid", and the market card was stuck in a "Please wait..." loading state. Trying again I got the same thing.

Bug reports aside, I'm obliged to remind viewers that this market is centralized. The Predyx operators seem to be the only entity who ultimately decides how to settle all predicted events, and deciding who gets paid. They also custody your money.

For now that's OK because there aren't many alternatives, but please be careful and be aware that decentralized options will exist in the future which let betters spread trust out among many oracles, without any custody risk.

Hi @conduition,

Thanks for the detailed feedback and for bringing up dlctix! We appreciate the link and will definitely be exploring it further. It looks like a promising solution that aligns with where we want to take Predyx. We'll dive into it over the coming weeks, and I'll reach out if we have any questions.

Regarding your experience, could you provide more details on the browser and extension you were using? We’ve identified that using SSE (Server-Sent Events) for real-time data was a mistake due to inconsistent support across browsers. We're in the process of switching over to web-sockets, which should resolve these issues.

As for the custodial nature, I completely agree with your point. We opted for this setup to quickly launch an MVP, gauge interest, and validate the concept. Now that we've received positive feedback, we’re excited about moving toward Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs) for a more decentralized, trust-minimized approach. We're committed to making this transition as soon as possible.

Appreciate your patience and support!

Can you confirm if LNURL-auth works? My wallet just keeps waiting until it says "Network error". Tried with Phoenix and Alby and I obviously have internet access since I am writing this.

Maybe hug of death?

edit: Alby just returned 504 Gateway Timeout

I just tried LNURL-auth with Alby, it worked for me.

I also tried signup with credentials but the button doesn't get enabled.

When the second password field is wrong, it will say "passwords don't match" but I don't know why the first password field is red when they match.

8 sats \ 4 replies \ @mega_dreamer OP 27 Sep

Its probably a bug, what browser are you using?

100 sats \ 3 replies \ @ek 27 Sep

I am using Brave on Linux. I see no errors in the console except regular GET https://beta.predyx.com/api/auth/me 401 (Unauthorized) but I assume they are unrelated. That's just how you check if someone is logged in (just like we do on SN).

21 sats \ 2 replies \ @mega_dreamer OP 27 Sep

We haven't tested on Brave. That 401 is a way to telling you're not logged in. I will put this on my issue tracker list.

200 sats \ 1 reply \ @ek 27 Sep

I found the issue: my password was only alphanumeric but when I added a special character it worked.

So the bug is simply missing feedback about what kind of password is required.

0 sats \ 0 replies \ @mega_dreamer OP 27 Sep

Yes, will add this to our issue tracker.

Important Update: Temporary Password Reset for Some Users

We wanted to inform you that, due to a false alarm triggered by our fraud prevention system, the passwords for some users who signed up with credentials (username/password) have been reset. If you're affected by this, please email us at support @predyx.com with your username, and we'll provide manual instructions to reset your password.

This is only a temporary issue. In the next day or two, we'll release the password reset feature, which will allow you to reset your password seamlessly by providing your email on your profile page.

As a precaution, we are temporarily disabling new sign-ups with credentials (username/password) until the password reset feature is available.

Please note, users who signed up using Lightning Wallet or Google are not affected by this.

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we resolve this.

Hey @Undisciplined, can you please send email to support @predyx.com. Its seems your account was impacted.

80 sats \ 3 replies \ @Undisciplined 5 Oct

I'm still able to sign in with my Alby extension. I don't think I ever used the one I created with credentials.

It does look like all of my purchases have disappeared though. I don't really mind losing those sats, so don't worry about making me whole.

35 sats \ 2 replies \ @mega_dreamer OP 6 Oct

We'll be able to recover all your purchases. Can you please confirm if your user_id with Alby login was "undisciplined"

100 sats \ 1 reply \ @Undisciplined 6 Oct

Yes, that should be the account with all of my purchases. I made a couple of other ones on accident, trying to sign in from another device.

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @mega_dreamer OP 7 Oct

Sure, we are working with other major issues, but once it becomes stable. I will look into recovering your shares. Thanks for you patience.

We’re back online! The early beta is live to help us test features and catch vulnerabilities. Reminder: Predict with small amounts, as there’s a risk of losing funds or shares due to the beta phase. 🛠️ If you spot any bugs and want to help, report them here: https://github.com/PREDYX/bug-tracker/issues Thanks for your support! 🙌

Browser is Zen (Firefox-based) running on MacOS.

Duly noted. We haven't tested out on Zen yet, but will test and add it to our issue-tracker list. We'll inform you once fixed. Also we are experiencing some intermittent memory leaks on the server-side which is really slowing things down for a lot of users. We were not prepared for so much load on the server :)

Interesting! Why is everything that I see right at around 50% (between 49 and 51)?

54 sats \ 0 replies \ @mega_dreamer OP 26 Sep

Because its an early thinly traded market, we just launched. As more people bet with more sats, you'll see odds move up or down. Also since our markets have adequate liquidity, its difficult to move odds by just buying 100 shares.

Sorry, it's still a bug. Jesse from Amboss also reported that same. I'm unable to reproduce it on my side. But, we'll fix this. If its not too much to ask, can you please give details on browser, wallets, QR or WebLN (Alby). Just in case you don't want to share it here, I just created an issue tracker on GH: https://github.com/PREDYX/bug-tracker/issues

bug

I am also getting a similar bug trying to bet no on US Elections for either Kamala or Trump will Win. Exact workflow:

click "bet no " on e.g. "Trump will win"
Change number of shares to 200
Click buy
I get on top the Toast "Prediction is not valid"
In addition I see in the console a bad request 400 error on the /api/predictions endpoint

When I try the same thing with the default value of 100 shares, it successfully shows me the lightning qr popup.

I am using Mullvad Browser.

UPDATE: We'll be back online tomorrow! As a small team, it's taken us a bit longer than expected—those last-minute surprises always seem to come up. We're also migrating our local database to a managed cluster for better high availability and fault tolerance, as we didn’t anticipate such high traffic during the beta release. It’s a great challenge to have, and we're making sure everything is scalable and stable for the future. Thanks for your patience!
