1  Bitcoin / Project Development / Arcane Arcade -- Looking for feedback on: October 15, 2020, 02:06:13 AM
I am working on Arcane Arcade (http://staging.arcanearcade.io/), an online store where you can buy video games with Bitcoin (or Monero). For developers, they get their payment directly to their coin wallets. They provide Steam keys or direct download of their installers.

It's a distribution platform for game developers/publisher to sell their games for cryptocurrency (Bitcoin & Monero). Here's a write-up I did a while back: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nlxGuzeSAoivt96pvmfbYkeQrIafWwoCfjgHvn6uo84/edit?usp=sharing.

We're early-stage, about two weeks into development. I've got freelancers helping me out, looking for a Halloween launch (worst case, Thanksgiving).

As the breakdown states, we have a Node API handling all BTC/XMR address generation and payment broadcasting. I've repurposed the code behind coinb.in to generate BTC addresses. For Monero, I'm running a node and utilizing it's RPC (which is way faster than Bitcoin's). It uses bull queues and Redis to scan for any unspentTxs and sends payments to sellers' destination addresses.

We use Rails as an API, where most of the CRUD and front-end data is stored. Lastly, a React front-end, which can be seen in action on the staging link.

I'm looking for partners, fellow gamers and crypto engineers. I'm happy with the work my freelancers have done, but I really would love a team doing it for a stake in the future success.

Even if you aren't a Ruby or JS engineer, I could use a hand on the marketing side of things, as well. Buyer adoption should happen organically, but it's the indie/mid-size game developers with good games to sell that I want on the platform.

In any case, advice or feedback on the current state of things is welcome!
