Just a friendly reminder to everyone who has signed up to play, please send 1 xmr to the pool wallet and notify us here in this thread by giving us your tx hash. If your confused how to send and verify your payment with everyone else, please check my example (and my actual transaction) in the OP. We need to get everyone paid up and squared away before the season starts.

Thanks.

Edit: speaking of which we need to decide on an official draft date/time

I would suggest sign up payment deadline first day of pre-season?

Will send after I close my latest margin.

I just can't help playing the market. Cheesy

AFA Draft date time I would say after pre season and a week night when it's not 4am for anyone. We can all pm you our UTC and what time we want and you can suggest a time that will be close to everyone hopefully. Around 2am UTC is my choice.

ALSO: In the op there is a space in the address so anyone trying to follow your directions will get a parse error without removing the space so if you put it there intentionally then add a step to remove the space character.

You only need to order 100 of them!

lol, who the hell needs 100 of those things?? I've been busy recently, but when I get some time I'll look around and see if there are local trophy shops to see i can get one customer for cheap. If you guys find something else in the meantime let me know.

The loophole to that is that you can always request a sample, usually you can buy one and pay shipping. Wink

But then get ready to be on the mail list forever. Cheesy

Anyway trophies are cheap at trophy stores, I bought ten for my pool team and it cost about $100.

This one.

I think 1 XMR ($30-50) is reasonable. How many people are we shooting for here?

I'm hoping for a 8 person minimum... 12 being the best scenario. What gets tricky is that we probably need to have an even number of teams just because that's how fantasy usually works because everyone needs to have a matchup each week.

If shit gets desperate, I'm sure I can find someone IRL who can play that I will buy in for since they wouldn't know anything about cryptocurrencies in general.

... I think we might have another person on Reddit wanting to play (bigreddmachine)... maybe Mike could hook us up with a sponsorship on Monero Monitor and I'll cover his buy in? I've been meaning to donate to his podcast anyways.

I'm interested in playing. I wouldn't want the buy in to be more than 1 XMR, but I'm fine going lower.

Bump for interest.

Still up for debate:

1) Draft date and time
2) Trophy (?)
3) Buy in staying at 1 XMR per person

I'm fine with yahoo or any site really but if I had to vote i'd go yahoo, My XMR is currently Margined so can you accept Paypal?

Ok, and I would really really prefer not too. I personally never use PayPal just because I think they are horrible; but maybe you would be able to get someone else who uses PayPal that can send in 1 xmr for you after you pay an agreed price using PayPal. Also the reason I want only XMR buy ins is because if the price changes in 5 or so months (which it probably will) 1 xmr always equals 1 xmr... so I don't want anyone to get agitated if someone paid too much or too little during this buy in time.

I'd like to join in for 1 XMR (or less.)

My limited experience is through Yahoo Fantasy Sports. It works well and pretty intuitive. Whether manual or auto-draft I doubt really matters, the secret is to pay attention who is hurt or has a by-week before you make your line-up for that week.

Ok, I'll put you in. It looks like there is a majority of people who are more familiar with Yahoo Sports, which is honestly kind of surprising (thought most people would be more familiar with ESPN). I'm OK with using Yahoo and will delete the ESPN league if that's ok with everyone else?

Also, @ Hueristic, I looked more into the settings for trades and such, and if you are interested in what is the default settings, here it is. It allows me to change the settings as well, but like I said above, if more people are comfortable with Yahoo then let's just stick with that.

I'll go ahead and make a Yahoo league and keep the ESPN one too just in case. If anyone has objections to Yahoo, let me know. Also, Jwinterm just made the leagues wallet and I will post the addy and private view key in the OP so people can send their 1 xmr and will give instructions on how to verify your funds have arrived.

@Hueristic Since people will have to pay the leagues wallet as a type of "buy in" to play it doesn't necessarily matter if a person has bad rep here or not. If you look at the link in the OP and read the old Monero Madness thread, I had it where people would have to pay and post the tx hash. Then we had the wallet public address and private view key available to verify funds have been sent to that wallet. That way no trust is needed, and private invite to join the group can be sent after the funds arrived. I'll have to edit that part in the OP, but I'll do it tomorrow since I'm on mobile right now.

As far as trading goes, I'm pretty certain there is a system like that in place, but this is my first time using ESPN. I've used Yahoo Fantasy Sports in the past too and there was some sort of system like that in place I think by default. I would assume there is something like that in ESPN too, but will have to look more into the rules there. I'm sure I can edit the rules to go by something like that, or we could just use Yahoo instead of ESPN. Whatever is fine with me.

I will look more into it tomorrow and get back to you on that.

I've never used ESPN, in yahoo it's the commish's decision on trades unless it's changed.

Auto-drafts are lame for a lot of reasons, but the main reason is the fact that if you default to the "next best pick" you can still end up having a full lineup, but you might have like 4QBs sitting on your bench or something stupid because the computer is picking what's ranked as the best out of a predetermined list.

That has never happened in my experience. The auto-draft algorithm at Yahoo is smart enough to give you 2 QBs, 2 RBs, 4 WRs, 2 TE, 2 DEF, etc depending on how your league is setup. It never loads up on one position, but is indeed assigning them based on a pre-season ranking.

I've had autodraft give me guys that are suspended and other stuff like being injured. I personally hate Autodraft the ranking are always wrong.
