# CCash

A webserver hosting a bank system for Minecraft

### Description

the currency model most Minecraft Servers adopt if any, is resource based, usually diamonds, this model is fraught with issues however:

- the primary issue is minecraft worlds are infinite leading to hyper inflation as everyone accrues more diamonds
- there is no central authority minting the currency, any consumer can introduce more diamonds to the system
- some resources are passively reapable, making the generation of currency a larger focus then of products
- locality is required for transaction
- theft is possible, ownership is possession based

CCash solves these issues and adds a level of abstraction, the main philosophy of CCash is to have fast core operations that other services build on

#### Build

```
git clone --recurse-submodule https://github.com/EntireTwix/CCash/
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j<threads>
sudo ./bank <admin password> <saving frequency in minutes> <threads>
```
you also have to edit the config file to add your cert locations, I personally use cert bot

#### Dependencies

- [Parallel HashMap](https://github.com/greg7mdp/parallel-hashmap/tree/master)
- [drogon web framework (and all its dependencies)](https://github.com/an-tao/drogon/tree/master)

# Features

### Performance

- **NOT** written in Lua
- written in **C++**, arguably the fastest language
- **multi-threaded**
- **parallel hashmaps** a far superior HashMap implementation to the STD, that also benefit from multi-threaded
- **Passwords are Hashed**, allowing each user to be 12 bytes, which is allows hashmap to be flat

### Safety

- **Tamper Proof** relative to an in-game implementation
- **Auto-Saving** and Saves on close
- **HTTPS** (OpenSSL)

### Accessibility

- **Web front-end**
- **RESTful** API for connected services like a market, gambling, or anything else you can think of
- able to be used millions of blocks away, across dimensions, servers, **vanilla or modded**. In contrast to an in-game modded implementation that would be range limited.

### Connected Services

Go to `{ip}/BankF/help` to see the bank's methods. Using the Bank's API allows (you/others) to (make/use) connected services that utilize the bank, a couple ideas are

Implemented:

- [a Leaderboard (ComputerCraft)](https://pastebin.com/u23BNVvP)
- [Cute frontend](https://github.com/Expand-sys/ccashfrontend)

In-Dev:
- [a Market](https://github.com/STBoyden/market-api-2.0)

Ideas:

- Gambling
- Shipping
- High-level bank operations such as loans
- Some trust based system for transactions similiar to Paypal

`**WARNING** : abruptly killing the program will result in data loss, use Close() method to close safely`
