Topic: BTCTALK CARDS - The Real-time Custom Cards for Bitcointalk Members - page 4. (Read 1787 times)

Literally, opened a thread about maybe getting a trading card game off the ground. If something like this could be created for physical cards then I think that would be pretty neat. The only issue with this is all the cards would have to be custom designed, and would need to avoid using copyrighted images.

Any plans on creating physical cards of these?

Those options are for personal favorites, so I still think you should expand to new options, lower-/ upper-case, fontsize. Then people will choose what they want for their cards.

I am afraid that's not possible. I can't dynamically change the size of image as per the size of avatar. It is impossible stuff to do.  Alternatively, you can change your avatar size to 120px*80px.

That's delay is from bitcointalk. It takes 30 minutes to show your new avatar on bitcointalk if one is wore already. No problem, I will create option to choose custom image as avatar shortly. But you have to enter URL - a valid URL to show avatar. Moreover, size of image should be 120px*80px. Just give me 2-3 hours since I just woke up and I will add this option shortly.


This I won't do. I don't wanna fill space on my disk. I will only allow option to choose avatar. So first upload image to imgur or imgbb and then paste that link to create avatar.


Fonts are fine, aren't they? If some text goes out of box then tell me, I will fix that.


I am afraid uppercase is standard format for such cards. Believe me, lowercase will look horrible. It will look like some 4th grader trying to write cursive.

Yeah even I feel post count is wrong for the calculation since it has very wide range and hardly a link with reputation (see Quickseller). Will edit reputation code to give much less importance to posts.


I already had thought over this and here is what I propose if we wanna go with game:

1. Restrict the cards to top 2000 members to make game reasonable.

2. Card identifier system. Once card is generated, an identifier will be printed on it which could be verified from 'card verification tool'. For example card with identifier gtjd-difi-4523-idfd when verified will give results like: This Vod Black Card was generated by user having member Id: 114505564721. This card belongs to the batch of December, 2019. The stats of card are as follow.... So even though I have the photo card but the real ownership of the card will lie with the member who generated it.

3. Card Trading House. This is the place where member can generate card, store it and trade it.

4. A monthly batch of cards rather than real-time. New stats will be updated on first of every month. So the card generated on 1st or 28th of the month will look same. This is to make game competitive.

5. PvP card game. A game where I can bet against another player. For example, I bet 0.001 with my Theymos Card and you matched my game and you entered the game with DarkStar_ Card. To make game interesting, one random card will be drawn for both side at that very moment (which will be purely random and provably-fair) and the average of both card will decide the winner. So having strong card will win only half of your game. Now suppose second card for me is Webtricks Basic Card and you get Lauda Golden Card then you will win on average even if my base card was strong.

6. To make cards valuable and scarce, a user can only generate 10 cards a month by paying card generation fees like 0.0005 BTC. The user will have equal chance of getting Theymos card or Webtricks card for that 0.0005 BTC. Once generated, the user can sale the same card in trading house for much-much high. For example, Theymos will have very high value (like 0.03-0.04 BTC) whereas Webtricks will hardly have (like 0.0005-0.00075 BTC value). So to play the game, user first have to own at least one base card which he can either generate randomly for 0.0005 BTC or buy any specific card from trading house for market price.

7. Once card is traded, the new identifier will be generated and old will expire. So if user with ID: 114505564721 sells his Vod card of December, 2019 batch to user with ID: 452152604521 then gtjd-difi-4523-idfd will show 'identifier expired, this card is sold' and user: 452152604521 will get new card with same stats but new identifier.


So this is my proposition. What do you say?

Also my big question - Who will play the game?

Do we have enough support from btctalk family that I go forward and spend next month developing above said? Will members here actually play and involve in this?

Not only this, I want to point out another suggestion.

For now, the card will be created using currently worn avatar of one user. It means if I am wearing a signature of a company I advertise for, I am unable to create my card with my own avatar.

In additiona, there is a bit delay of avatar update. I tried to update with my own avatar just to create the card I want but it still using my previous avatar.

I suggest several things:

• Add link to browse and load personal avatars when creating cards.
• Smaller fonts for all texts, excludes: Star, Username, and Reputation.
• Using lower-case for all contents, not Capitalize all text like the current version

How to adjust the image to fit into my avatar?

BFF is the person who gave you the maximum merits. I had one slot of stat empty so filled it with BFF at the last minute. 


Wow! Sounds wonderful. Waiting for LoyceV army.


Yeah. I tried that and it worked too. But won't it give retrospective results?

Haha, I had no such intentions. Was just short of avatars.

Try this:

Nice work!

How do you calculate the reputation score?

Posts/Activity is redundant.  Posts can be manipulated/spammed.  Activity is the better solution.  What about the trust score?  You could use all three values as attributes in a card game.  Make each card a crypto asset.  I could provide the verified membership system and arena if you decide you want to go ahead with it.

Also, since these stats change over time, you could have the cards dynamic.  
1: "Hey, want to buy Vod for 0.1 btc?"
2: "Maybe, but not this month - he lost the DT1 lottery and is weak.  I'll give you 0.05"





For Vod I get the error:

Enter a valid BitcoinTalk ID

Are you trying to not-so-subtly imply that suchmoon is an alt of theymos?

The BFFs seem to be a very select group. Based on the largest Merit cycling I guess?

I like it! Summoning LoyceV to unleash that increased Merit source on you!


For trust ratings: if you feed your browser cookies to your scraper, you can get it from the forum directly.

Note One: I use BPIP to get trust ratings. Currently trust ratings on BPIP are not accurate for most of the members so reputation score maybe uneven at the moment. I will try to resolve that or wait for BPIP to show correct data. Reputation Score is now working fine for every member

Note Two: It's already 3:19 A.M here in India. I had this stubbornness with my own self to post this thread today so here I am. But believe me, I am half asleep. Will update OP with more information tomorrow (first thing in the morning). Also if you find any glitch on website, just inform me, I will fix it tomorrow (second thing in the morning ). For the time being, please read this FAQs if you have any doubt: http://btctalk.cards/doc.php (I have spent 20 minutes on these so these are worthy too).
