Even though BlockParty smart contract in theory should be able to handle unlimited number of participants, I have so far only handled 20 participants at maximum. Apart from the security risk of putting too much deposit at stake without having rigorous auditing or bug bounty, the biggest reason is that checking in many participants manually is too hard with current BlockParty. Check in process is quite inefficient and error prone in general but with BlockParty the error is costly as people put deposit at stake.

Checking in people with paper

To solve the problems, I am currently working on a couple of new features as follows.

  1. Adding operators, so that non contract owners can also let users check in.
  2. Searching participant by twitter handle or Ethereum address.
  3. Scanning with QR coder

I have already implemented (1) and (2). (3) is currently work in progress.

Because they are all new features and they may fail miserably, I am going to deploy a next couple of BlockParty against Rinkeby testnet.

If you are in London and up for coming to the following events, please RSVP using BlockParty and fill in the form for feedback.

Using Mobile Wallet

When you come to these events, please make sure you bring QR code of your Ethereum address so that it’s easier to scan via QR code. I strongly recommend doing RSVP with a mobile wallet as they are a lot easier to show QR code.

Most Wallets can display QR code of your Ethereum address to receive Ether

I have tested with the following mobile wallets and now is your chance to try out mobile dApp experience.

(NOTE: Please do let me know if you managed to RSVP with other mobile wallet besides the above).

Once the account is created on you mobile wallet, make sure to go to setting page to select Rinkeby as a network

Setting page of CipherBrowser

Yo have no Ether? Don’t worry. There is a faucet site where you can receive Ether on this test network. Here is the tutorial video

As a token of appreciation…

There’s not much I can do at this moment, but I can issue Matoken if people are interested.
