Shaga-Moonlight

How Moonlight should be modified

User Authentication:

Shaga-Moonlight clients authenticate users through their Solana wallet public key addresses. When a user logs in, they authenticate themselves using their private keys, providing a secure and decentralized method for identity management.

Game Discovery:

The Shaga-Moonlight client allows users to discover available games hosted on Shaga-Sunshine nodes. This could involve querying a distributed hash table (DHT) for available games, or potentially querying on-chain data on the Solana blockchain.

Connection to Shaga-Sunshine Hosts:

Once a user selects a game, the Shaga-Moonlight client establishes a secure connection to the corresponding Shaga-Sunshine host. This connection could be a direct peer-to-peer connection, or it could be facilitated through the DHT or another intermediary network layer.

Payment Transactions:

The Shaga-Moonlight client manages payments for gaming sessions. This involves creating and signing transactions on the Solana blockchain to transfer funds from the user's wallet to the Shaga-Sunshine host's wallet. This could also involve interactions with a smart contract to handle disputes or refunds.

Renting of Compressed NFTs:

The Shaga-Moonlight client handles the renting of compressed NFTs that represent gaming sessions. These NFTs are minted by the Shaga-Sunshine hosts and listed for rent on the Solana blockchain. The Shaga-Moonlight client facilitates the rental transaction, which could include transferring funds, updating the NFT's metadata to indicate its rented status, and potentially decompressing the NFT for interaction with other Solana programs.

Reputation and Rating System:

After a gaming session, the Shaga-Moonlight client allows users to rate their experience with the Shaga-Sunshine host. These ratings are then recorded on the Solana blockchain, providing an immutable and transparent reputation system for Shaga-Sunshine hosts.

Interaction with Staking Mechanism:

The Shaga-Moonlight client could interact with Solana's staking mechanism, allowing users to stake tokens as a way to guarantee the quality of service, or to participate in a rewards program.
