🚀 Exciting News! PREDYX is now in beta! 🎉 Test out the future of prediction markets at: https://beta.predyx.com Make your predictions, earn sats, and explore micro markets with instant payouts via the LightningNetwork. 🔮⚡️beta.predyx.com
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.
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.
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.
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).
Glad to hear you’re back online! 🎉 Just a heads-up: some users might not see their shares in the historical orderbook, but they should show up under the 'Sell' tab for you to sell. If they’re not there, reach out to us at support@predyx.com.
And as a token of appreciation for being an early adopter, we’re zapping you with 1K sats! ⚡ Thanks for your support! 🙌
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.
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.

Thanks for your support! 🙌
Massive congrats on getting this launched! It's no small feat to not only build it and launch it, but also to put your baby in front of other peoples' critical eyes!
Thanks for reporting! Yes we are experiencing some memory leaks on the server-side. We're working on fixing it! What browser and OS are you using? Similar issues have been reported few other users.
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 :)
No worries, you always discover a myriad of bugs when you first open the thing to more people 😅Good that issues stem from too many users, that's a cool problem to have!
Thank you! We will add more of sports this weekend. Please give us some suggestions on what other teams or sports market you'd like us to add. Please note that at this point of time we can only do binomial markets like "Will XYZ win this match" => YES/NO. Polynomial/Multiple Option market is coming soon!
I think I found a bug with paying an invoice. The QR code works, but I'm unable to copy the LN invoice under it. It just says "copy invoice" but doesn't copy.
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.
I just tried on Kamala flips a state and bitcoin above 60,000 on October 25. It worked for me. Can you refresh, logout/login again. We just pushed a new version with a minor fix.
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
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!
UPDATE: Our system maintenance is in progress, we discovered a major vulnerability and we're patching our system. we're expecting to be up in 6 - 8 hours. Thanks for your support and patience.
We apologize for the inconvenience. We're still working on restoring the system, and it's taking longer than expected. We're in the process of overhauling the buy workflow to enhance security and prevent self-arbitrage. Thank you for your patience!
UPDATE: We're working on a password reset with email feature. Should be released in a day or two. Thank for your patience and sorry about all login issues.
