NextColony - list of custom_json commands

[holger80]

NextColony is a true blockchain game on steem, thus almost all actions are triggered by custom_json operations (buying an item is initiated by a transfer). In the following you will find a list of commands that will be supported at launch. More commands will follow afterwards.

Structure of a custom_json operation

A custom_json command consists of an id and a json field. All commands in nextcolony have the same id:

nextcolony

and the json field has the following structure:

{"username":"holger80","type":"newuser","command":{"tr_var1":"holger80"}}

where username is the username (currently not used and can be skipped).
type defines the command type and command consists of a dict with the keys tr_var1 to tr_var8.
The command is applied to the user defined in the required_posting_auths field.

newuser

{"username":"holger80","type":"newuser","command":{"tr_var1":"holger80"}}

Creates a new game account with the steem account name.
The command uses one field:

• tr_var1: steem username

@holger80 - please help me tell the team to implement keychain! It is a million times better experience - and look what happened with dpoll and the foundation vote!

Steemconnect was best practice but they never got their act together and their widget always demands active key to log in. Now that keychain exists - we can finally refuse to use steemconnect!

I don't care how 'safe' it is, I should never need active key to record custom json transactions!

I would prefer to enter my posting key directly than use steem connect!

Thank you - on behalf of all the sane gamers out here lost in space :)
