This is a take on the popular Reddit experiment the button, but with a few key differences. At the core, this button is based on an Ethereum smart contract. There's a countdown timer - when the button is pressed the timer resets (just like the original). Anyone can press the button as many times as they want, but it costs ether to press it. The last presser wins the accumulated ether as a jackpot!

Check it out here and join our subreddit!

For more technical details, check out my Medium article.

Having the last person as a jackpot winner will effectively stall the game as people will be waiting for that sweet spot at the end of the given time. You can certainly make it more engaging by making few changes.

Instead of having one jackpot winner, make it 4 at random numbers like 15, 47, 80 and the last one. The numbers I have given for illustration, you can make it any random numbers and don't announce those numbers upfront. It will keep the game ongoing as participants will be trying to hit those hidden sweet spots.

Just a suggestion, think about it!
