Hi PA mod-developers and PA players! My name is John, and I've been working for a while now on the infrastructure for a new type of mod: a PA tournament buy-in/prize/payout system, powered by Bitcoin! Currently available functionality: Users can register and log in. Logged-in users can create tournaments and join tournaments that are open for registration. Tournaments can be one of three types: Free (no buy-in or prize), Prize (funded by creator, no buy-in), or Buy-In (prize accumulates as users register and pay the buy-in fee). Tournament creators can change the registration status from open to closed, or start the tournament by marking it as 'Active'. When the tournament is complete, the tournament creator can mark the tournament as 'Complete'. When a Prize Tournament is created, the tournament creator must fund the tournament by sending the correct amount of bitcoin to the generated BitPay invoice. When a user registers for a Buy-In Tournament, they must pay for their registration by sending the proper amount of bitcoin to the generated BitPay invoice. It is then added to the tournament's prize-pot and their registration is marked as 'paid'. Upcoming future functionality: When a tournament is completed, automatically pay the prize to the winner. Creation of a PA (PAMM) mod to expose this pa-btc system within PA itself. Integration with PAStats and/or PA itself to use PA's usernames and authentication (if possible). Integration with Exodus E-Sports' API to allow for funding of larger tournaments [Propose functionality in the comments below!] I've rambled enough. Please check out the site at https://pa-btc.com and let me know what you think! Please note: Currently the site is wired to the bitcoin test-net, so if you need test-net bitcoins, get some from http://tpfaucet.appspot.com/ Thanks, John Edit: Added some screenshots: Folks who may be interested in this because they're technical or because they host tournaments: @cptconundrum @Bsport @reptarking @thesambasti @clopse @ZaphodX @Quitch
