How We Verify & Supporter Perks

Because we don't use third-party payment processors, verification is handled via on-chain TXID or signed message:

  1. Send any amount to the BTC or XMR address above.
  2. Submit your forum handle and the transaction hash (TXID) or a signed address message using the verification form on the right.
  3. Our local watcher script checks incoming blocks against the node keystore and automatically applies your supporter tier within 2 confirmations.

Forum Supporter Perks: Verified contributors receive the [Patron] badge next to their handle, custom flair text in the calibration directory, access to raw CSV tournament exports without rate-limiting, and a 50 MB attachment quota for sequence posts.
