Proof of Skill BTC - Skill-Based Arcade Game with Weekly BTC Prizes

[Almhissn]

Hello Bitcointalk community,

I’d like to introduce **Proof of Skill BTC**, an independent browser-based arcade game where precision earns rewards.

**What is Proof of Skill?**
It’s an original, high-stakes, skill-only game with a Satoshi-era terminal aesthetic. Navigate a Bitcoin coin through Japanese candlestick obstacles. No luck, no house edge—just pure skill.

**Proof of Fairness & Anti-Cheat Architecture:**
We understand the skepticism surrounding browser games. To ensure total integrity, we've built a multi-layer verification system:
* **Server-Side Physics Replay:** Every session is re-simulated on our server using your recorded jump logs and a secret seed. If the replay doesn't match the submitted score, it is automatically rejected.
* **Just-in-Time Generation:** Obstacle positions are generated server-side and delivered in real-time batches to prevent bot-prediction and memory manipulation.
* **Cryptographic Signing:** Every score submission is HMAC-SHA256 signed.

**The Weekly Competition:**
* **Fixed Prize:** $100 USD (paid exclusively in BTC).
* **Exchange Rate:** Calculated at the spot price of the "Payment Moment" (after review).
* **Reset:** Every Monday at 00:00 UTC.
* **Cost:** 100% Free to play. No entry fees or deposits.

**Privacy & Compliance:**
We respect this community's privacy. We do NOT require KYC for registration. We only reserve the right to verify identity if our anti-cheat system flags suspicious/automated activity to ensure the prize goes to a real human player.

**Play now:** https://proofofskill.net

I'm looking forward to your feedback and technical "stress-testing"!

Best regards,
Almhissn

I will test in the AM - it  sounds interesting and your goals explain why there are no fees.  But how can you afford to pay out $100 a week without income?   Are you backed by someone/thing with a large wallet?

Hi Vod,

Thank you for the Merit and for the valid question.

Currently, the prizes are entirely self-funded. My goal is to attract a dedicated player base and build a strong community. Once the traffic grows, I plan to integrate non-intrusive ads as the primary way to fund the project and potentially increase the weekly prize pool up to 1 BTC in the future.

I have no intention of ever making this a "pay-to-play" system; the core game will remain 100% free and skill-based.

I’d love for you to try it out! Currently, I hold the highest score on the leaderboard (User ID: BTC_2D67C198). If you or anyone manages to beat my score and secure the top spot by the end of the week, I’ll be more than happy to send that $100 in BTC.

Enjoy the challenge!
