Scratch Crypto Currency

calebtristan5000

Have you ever wanted a currency in Scratch? Have you found some forums for crypto currencies, but found nothing to your satisfaction? Today I propose to you the Scratch Crypto Currency (SCC).

***NO ACTUAL MONEY IS INVOLVED WITH THIS! SCC HAS NO REAL WORLD VALUE, SO DO NOT PAY A CENT TO GET SCC COINS!***

The SCC is loosely based on Bitcoin. Users will have access to a bank where they can deposit their SCC coins into the cloud. Once in the cloud, users can either keep store them and collect interest, withdraw them for spending, or transfer them into another account. The bank will have databases for information such as inflation of SCC, where potential threats may arise, and average deposits and withdraws.

Most projects that support SCC will accept withdraw codes. These codes will allow you to get a head start in a new game, or grant special permissions.

Some projects will allow you to “mine” for coins. The rate will be slow, so as to prevent hyperinflation.

If you are interested in joining the development team, contact me. I will be putting three teams together. One team will work on creating and managing and account system. The second team will work on the security of deposit and withdraw codes. The last, but certainly not least, will moderate Scratch, looking for users and projects who violate the Terms of Use.

Tasks:

Encoders: Continue to develop encoded codes. Make sure that the codes are tracible by project, so as to prevent fraud.

Bankers: Begin creating digital account system. Use this system format if possible:

<username> <encoded 6-digit safety pin> <6-digit transfer code> <account balance>

Develop a system for depositing into an account, transferring money from one account to another, and withdrawing from account. If you
can create a cloud variable for banned projects, that would be spectacular!

Moderators: Monitor the projects that use SCC. Research projects that could join, and invite them. If you come across a crypto currency, ask if
they will allow conversions. If they do, let me know, and I will create a conversion script.

Hi, I think cryptocurrencies are against the Community guidlines

calebtristan5000

Oh. Ok then.

Thanks for letting me know!

If it has real word value then it's 100% not allowed example:the plaza https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/277820620/ the top comments should explain that
if it has no real world value then it might be allowed

Yeah, there is absolutely NO money involved with this system. Using real money would be terrible, and I wouldn't want anyone losing actual money for this.

This is basically Monopoly money that Scratchers can use. It has no value irl.

If this is against the Terms or Use or the community guidelines, I will drop this discussion without thinking twice.

I have a question:

How would you know that a user has a certain amount, and transfer that data to other projects? Wouldn't you need your own server for this?

What you can do is put all the supporting projects into yours. Maybe make a group for people to send links to all the project's that support SCC, and put them into one, or you could just make the mining, trading, etc system your self. I mean like how would other people support SCC without their own server.

Edit: I would like to join as a person who makes the accounts.

Ahhh I have another question, RIP me (answer this if i get in):

For saving accounts are you using savecodes, or cloud data?
If it's cloud data, I could try to implement a idea I had that can “supposingly” hold more than 1 person per cloud variable.If it ever gets full, we could create backup variables.

use a nodeJS server and every project has to connect to the server.

PLEASE READ THIS FULLY:

NodeJS cannot work for this game because:
1. You will have to pay to do this in some form. Repl.it cannot run unless somebody keeps going on the repl every hour, which is frustrating. You could buy the hacker plan though. If you hosted the server at home, it will cost you a lot of money in the long run.

2. It would take a whole lot of hard work collaborating on repl.it

3. there is no step 3.
EDIT: im dumb

So this system would use cloud variables. There will be a main “bank” project. (Again, NO real life money is involved.) Users will have an account associated with their username.

Projects that can mine SCC will give deposit codes. These will be highly encoded, so as to help prevent fraud. Deposit codes will be associated with a username, so you can only deposit your codes.

Once the deposit codes are deposited into the cloud-based bank, the owner of the account can either make a withdraw or collect interest on them.

Deposit codes are less encoded, since they will be used for 3rd-party projects, but will still be encoded to prevent fraud. All a user has to do with a deposit code is find a game that supports SCC (will make a studio if this gets big), and enter it into the project. The project owner will decide how much in-project currency one SCC coin is.

Thinking about that out myself. Have any ideas?

Can a shop or collaboration support SCC? (each project a worker finished, they get SCC coins)
