    I've been reading about Bitcoin-denominated economy games like Bitquest and Voidspace and I started thinking, what if the same concept can be applied to a RSPS?

    Thought it would make for an interesting discussion. So, what does rune-server think?

    depends how the server is making money, it would be good for the community, but it could bankrupt the owners if they are paying more money than they are making

    You can do this ;

    players can add bitcoins to their account which can be exchanged with ingame items or whatever
    and players can withdraw the ingame items to bitcoins.

    That is possible, but then Dupes/Glitches could be devastating to the owners wallet and Monster/Clue scroll rewards would be non-existent. Also it would create a serious trust issue among the developers/owners, because if the developer put corrupt code where they spawn 1m worth of bitcoin items and then cash it out immediately someone is going to be hurting lol.

    That's kind of what I was thinking. Could be interesting if I made a small proof-of-concept server that people can log onto and try out, maybe with a few cents worth of coins.

    I think it will not work out.
    There arn't that much players who use bitcoins as a wallet.
    You can try tho but it will have a very low playerbase I think.

    Yeah, that's true. I'd love some way to integrate traditional currencies like USD instead of crypto, but I'm sure that will come with a whole lot of legal issues, etc.
