3. Profit.

This plugin establishes an in-game brokerage to allow players to trade the Internet's favorite virtual currency, Bitcoins (BTC), for in-game coins, compatible with many economy plugins, and vice versa. For more information about how Bitcoin works, visit bitcoin.org.

Features

The brokerage works just like a foreign exchange where BTC are bought and sold by players. Each player gets a unique account on the server where they can deposit BTC from their external wallet. From their account, using a server command, they can sell BTC for in-game coins backed by the Vault Plugin. Players can also buy BTC from the server using their accumulated in-game wealth, and cash-out by transferring BTC from the brokerage to their external wallet address.

The admin sets the exchange rate and how much commission to extract from each transaction. The commission can be used to pay server bills. Admins that allow player's to buy BTC should be careful that they do not generate coins through other economy plugins that cannot be backed by BTC when the player goes to cash out.
