I'm sure you heard of all the commotion with Bitcoin lately, but that's nothing to worry about.
The Bitcoin payment method is getting more popular each day, especially for micro transactions and such. As long as users know to keep a low balance for every day payments, it should work very well.
So, to the main topic now. I'm exploring the possibility of not only adding Bitcoin as a new payment method, but also getting the players involved in the process of marketing and getting new players in Astro Galaxy.
The idea is that instead of investing money into expensive advertising that doesn't seem to work too well, we could give out this money in Bitcoin to players that bring in others like this:
The players that want to be paid in Bitcoin will verify their email, then they will be issued an e-wallet by the game. This e-wallet is actually a Bitcoin address that the game can deposit into. When you have some money in there you can always transfer it to your main Bitcoin address, when you read how it works and such. I'll try to provide documentation as much as I can in the process and you can always message me / Support with questions.
Q: Now, why and how will the players be paid?
A: When a new players joins, it will be tagged as being referred by some player. Then some checks are made to make sure this player is new, it has to be a new IP that was never used in the game before. Also, this new player has to be active and reach tiers that we will set. Each tier, when achieved will make the player that referred him some Bitcoin. For example if the new player graduates from the SEA course, the referring player will get $3 directly deposited in the Bitcoin address attached to the account. Other tiers will follow and there will be a page detailing all the tiers, like if the player reaches 50k power, again some Bitcoin. This will be combined with the ability for the player that referred to see basic information about his players, and send them messages to help out, and make them reach tiers and thus make him money.
Q: How will the players bring others to play Astro Galaxy?
A: The players will share their referral link from account room, that will contain the user ID that will be linked to the e-wallet in the player account. They will also see some information, like clicks and who registered and commissions paid.
Q: What is this Bitcoin and how do I get paid?
A: Bitcoin is a payment system that enables you to be your own bank. It removes intermediaries from the process and gives more freedom then ever to the payment system. Thus, we are able to pay you instantly in value that is equal to hard cash, and without any transaction fees. Once you get paid to your game e-wallet, even if it's just a small amount, you can easily transfer your balance to any other address and from there to your bank account. Every country has their own exchange that will enable you to convert your Bitcoin to cash very fast or you can always use it to pay online, just like Paypal.
Q: How will you manage cheating and multi-account issues or bots?
A: We will keep records of all login data, messaging etc. and if one is found to cheat the system by making multiple accounts in order to get the rewards, he will be disqualified from the rewards system. The same goes for bots. Please remember that using automated bots or multi-accounts for the purpose of cheating the system will also break the TOS, thus can lead to account locks. This will be monitored very closely to ensure a fair system. The system will be made in such a way as to discourage abuse, while also rewarding players that actually care about growing Astro Galaxy. We will check each and every player that is climbing the reward tier system to make sure it is not a bot or an alt, you can be sure of that.
That's all for now, you should see this project in the new update that will list projects in game coming soon
