a new startup with innovative ideas, first geopiece is for free

www.geopieces.com (http://www.geopieces.com)

Bitcoins will be integrated soon

I looked at the site but still don't fully understand what they do...  :-\

phps some of the videos would help what they are willing to do in the near future

Will someone buy my house from me?

never forget, where you heard it first ;)

Registered!

Questions:

Can I reg. more than once from the same computer but using a different email address?

Can I use my free G$ to buy a chunk of land having the house where Trendon Shavers lives, adding content as to how he was pirateat40, etc.?

If I can acquire several sites via dif. email accounts, what stops me from picking up prime real estate around the world with the intent of selling them later for a profit?

Asked above, but in a different way: What stops a person from purchasing the location of ones rivals with the intent of dissing them?

I believe a monster was just created, and wait till bitcoins are incorporated.

Has the White House been claimed yet?

Fuck them digs! Vegas, Baby! Got my property up for sale now for only 4,294,967.29 €/$5,715,312.97.

The land rush is on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, where the fuck is The Ranch, if you know what I mean?

I have the US Capitol.

"I'm going to bomb the US Capitol!" if this option is available in this game.

I wonder how many red flags when up at NSA after I post that?

Chill, guys! Too busy here in ILL. to take a trip if I was serious, which I ain't.

I tried the game but can't even get the first piece, saying I don't have enuff G, I thought the first piece was free?

That ain't the capitol! You bought the National Library two blocks over.

Who's getting the white house?


Check you spam folder in your email and click the link. If the link doesn't work, move the email outta spam into reg. email and it will work. Then you'll have your 500 G$.

I fuckin' love this site!

You have to confirm your e-mail.

@Elwar

Have you tried registering with a diff. acc. yet? I is 'bout to after I gets me a 'nother cup o' java.

Somebody do the math and see what's the maximum # of land grids there are. (not sea)

Yeap got my piece of cake, thanks :)

57.5 million square miles of land on earth, thus...

57 X 64 =

~3,648,000,000 Grid Cap.

EDIT:

How the hell was I off by a factor of ten?

http://nibletz.com/2012/09/15/austrian-startups-geopieces-geotag-your-content-on-a-map-of-the-world-the-way-you-want/


I figured each grid as one block equating to about an eighth of a mile, hence arriving at the multiplier of 64. One of us has the decimal in the wrong place.

Nevermind! Just figured it out prior to posting this. Their figure includes the oceans, thus mine is probably pretty damn close.

Hmm, I got the grid two spaces in front of the location of the capitol which is where the street is. But not directly in the location.

Oops...maybe someone will sill give me 10k for it. :P

I was screwing with you, bud.

I'm now the proud owner of the Horseshoe Casino in LV. Had to get two adjacent grids under two dif. acc., but you can now clearly see I own them.

They are currently for sale at the max price allowed, but will entertain a lesser value.

Some of the businesses located on the two grids:

Binion's Gambling Hall & Hotel
Mermaid's Casino
Golden Goose Gentlemen's Club
Granite Gaming Group
Girls of Glitter Gulch
G & G Fremont
Subway
Labayou Casino
Budget Las Vegas Downtown Rent-A-Car
Paradise Buffet & Cafe

The first official listing of a GeoPieces sale: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=232334

Some bastard took the Taj Mahal from underneath me. This is fuckin' war!

On a serious note:

Has anybody considered using this site as a money laundering conduit? (not trying to be funny)

Second listing:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=232359.new#new (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=232359.new#new)

This is not meant to diss you, if you're the one behind this, for I love this site, but...


According to the wayback machine, an effort was made a year or so ago to get this off the ground, but the site is much sleeker now.

I like everything about it but the name, for it's not as marketable as it could be, but everything about the site is, including the incorp. of Bitcoin aspect. Without putting a lot of thought into it, GeoGrid would be a better choice, albeit the .com is taken.

After putting a little thought into it, I considered the word fabric and arrived at GeoBric (available).

GeoPieces breaks one of the cardinal sins: too many syllables.

Another option could have been GeoVore of which võre is Estonian for grid.

Or GeoNexx.com is available (as in Nexus)

GeoGridz.com

Apologies for going on-and-on on the naming aspect, but it's an important ingredient in getting a promising site its proper footing.

its a startup of a friend, the beta-phase was completed last week
any suggestions are welcome

When the mobile app is launched, a user will see the geopiece for their current location and any text or links the owner includes?
I'd also like to see G$ freely tradable between users. If I can't trade them, there's nothing to do with them besides buy more geopieces.

the mobile app will be exactly as you mentioned, it is also planned that you can trade your G$ in an exchange, or other things that will
be implemented in the future

Is the incentive to use the app just the curiosity of what will be there? If that's true, someone could just go to the website and check any area they want rather than use the app. Maybe the owner of a geopiece should be able to include something only visible if they're physically located in the space.

I cornered the market on downtown Las Vegas. Now, if you want to see the Fremont Experience, you have pay a toll.

Anybody know the last known physical address of Trendon Shavers? I have an idea.

What is it with you and Trendon Shavers?

I'm now the proud owner of the world's only corn palace in Mitchell, SD.

Looks like the owner's about to weigh in: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=129113

PM one of the mods to get whitelisted, siting this post.

And when you get here, be prepared for an ass-kicking, you Taj Mahal thief!  ;D ;D

"Didn't receive confirmation instructions?" request is not working. Tried several times, and no emails were received.

It's A Small World (https://www.geopieces.com/#/posts/150)

I know one of you wants to buy LAX for G$1.5 million

Bump! Cause I like this site.

After bumping, I revisited my favorite site and what did I find? Four of my downtown Las Vegas grids have been removed.

Now, I've read the T&C and have done nothing wrong to warrant such deletions. Since I had time, read expense, in this endeavor, I desire an explanation.

It'll be a shame if one of their true supporters goes full retard.

This action does not bode well and I believe that tonberry needs to get here ASAP and start addressing this grave concern.

~Bruno K~

Full Disclosure:

They have been kind enough to send my an email as to why they did what they did.


As shown, I only edited out one word.

Now, I need tonberry to come here and address this. He will have no problem getting whitelisted if request such from the mods, siting this thread/post.

Maybe someone would... if they had the money.

I'm looking forward to tonberry getting here.

he posted in the whitelist thread

Hi, I am responsible for the marketing side of Geopieces.

In response to Phinnaeus Gage:

The free plattform currency is a giveaway for early adopters and will be discontinued once the mobile apps launch that allow users to post freely at their current location.
The current location of the user will, on the mobile app, always highlight the content (at the top position) of the geopiece. Therefore the Geopiece itself will function as a local virtual billboard.

In general we allow each user to manage 1 account.

This is based on the following reasoning:

Through means of mass registration a single user can in a short amount of time accrue a massive amount of Geopieces, without any form of investment into the plattform.
Although a single user may find this desirable for trading gain it creates a massive devaluation of:

 - property value and potential exchange rates of Geodollars for real currency values
 - reduced value for other users

According to our Tos:
"In the event that your account is terminated or suspended for any reason, in Geopieces sole and absolute discretion, or if Geopieces discontinues its Services, you forfeit any and all Geodollars and Virtual Goods. "

We reserve the right to terminate any user that significantly alters or manipulates our envisioned concept.
This enables us to deliver satisfactory service and a spirit of fairness entailing the Geopieces community as a whole.

Geopieces has just launch and we are currently still a small team, therefore no prior response protocol was formed for this case.
Due to your inadvertent actions helping us to remedy this issue we have credited your Account G$ 1000 to reclaim some cool spots on the world map.

Please understand that this is an important step we had to take in order to keep the Geopieces Plattform interesting and fair for all users.

Of course now that I´m here I will gladly answer all and every question that comes up about Geopieces, and will be checking in regularly.

Thank you to everyone who took time to check out our startup.

not bad
how many players you have now?

Some one please buy my house.

I stand behind you and your reasoning 100% therefore, in all fairness, I suggest you remove all your current locations: https://www.geopieces.com/#/users/4


If I'm not mistaken, some other earlier users (via single digit account numbers) may have practiced the same cornering the market of select properties.

It was after seeing the practice already being done by the principals that lead me to invest in procuring select properties myself, along with reading the T&S, of which now I'm sure has been, or will be changed.

I don't believe you want to start your viable endeavor off the wrong footing, hence bringing this to you attention.

To be clear, I'm not being an ass nor dissing your enterprise, for I truly love your site.

Peace.

~Bruno K~

Current User Number is at 300, currently we are growing at about 500%  per week

Regarding my own properties I paid €10 to Geopieces in order to acquire them. There are no internal benefits for the startups employees.
(you also cannot transfer properties to a single user via multiple registrations as minimum prices can´t be set to numbers lower than the starting capital)

We are also watching out for further mass registrations and have intervened in 2 cases currently.


Ask away! ( will be checking in a few times today)

Tonberry, is there any way a person can directly transfer Geocurrencybetween users, like a gift?

This is a planned feature: Transfering Geopieces and G$ as a Gift to other Users
(Due to the nature of the current Sign up bonus this feature will be implemented in Stage 4 / as soon as the sign up bonus is removed)

The primary reason is to avoid abuse of the sign up bonus.

First, thanks for your kind and civil reply.

As you're well aware, there is no proof that you actually paid out €10 to acquire said properties, but we can take you at your word. But, don't you see how such an action looks in the eyes of those you're trying to recruit, especially when you added the following as an in-your-face type comment?


The smart thing to do was to not purchase any property, for your future profits will rely upon your integrity, among other things, once your project goes mainstream. The other course of action was to wait till a few others signed up, whereupon you would then have jumped in using some pseudonym that nobody would be able to connect to you or any other proprietors of Geopieces. Case in point, such accounts could possibly exist, and we wouldn't be the wiser, of which would be fine for a many endeavors practice such practice. The grave mistake you made was using a pseudonym directly related to you as a/the owner, a mistake that's easily reversible.

Again, I insist for the integrity of your enterprise to abandon your claims to the properties you hold under tonberry oppose to coming here and defending your actions, for that will only dig a hole for yourself that you'll find will become impossible to crawl out of. This is not meant as a threat of any kind. Simply a reality.

That said, once again I must state that I do love your site and wish you the best, and this post is in no way trying to stick it up your ass.

Peace, bro.

~Bruno K~

I can dig up the transaction proof but it will take some time as I have to ask the CTO for access.

I would also be happy to sell you specific pieces for the base system price if you are interested. (or any other user here)

I don't believe you quite get it yet. There's no reason to offer up proof that you did purchase the grids. We can all agree that that's a fact and can easily take your word for it.

The sad part is that you're not getting it, and it's important for you to not own the said properties. Even sadder, you failed to address that important issue in your post, reverting to only wanting to prove that the purchases were legit, of which is not in contention, coupled with sharing with us that we're all able to purchase grids.

To drive the point home one more time, I'll use a real estate analogy.

Suppose you developed a subdivision surrounding a lake consisting of 100's of lots, some better than others. Further suppose that since you are the developer you took possession of the premiums lots, in this case they would be the lakefront properties. So far, no problem.

But this is where a problem would arise. You advertised your lots promising that the first come will have the first opportunity to obtain their lot (to build their dream home) at a comfortable price point. You led your potential clients into believing that all the lots are available, but they soon learn that all the premium lots have already been purchased. Then they find out that the developer is the one who owns the lots and is offering them at an inflated price point, which is a common practice but, once again, they were led to believe that you were different, and that everybody had a fair shot for the lots.

So, instead of selling all the lots at a decent price point, you created discontent with all the prospected buyers, leaving you stuck with all the property and a check mark next to your previous good name.

Do you now see how this would not bode well?

Taking the analogy one step further, prior to you getting into this predicament, an individual brings your error to your attention, giving you an option to turn the misstep around, thus saving face and becoming a successful developer. But, what you opted to do was to state to the whole world to read is that you have purchased those prime lakefront properties with your own money and will offer up proof to anybody who cares to see it. Again, there's no need to show proof to all the prospected buyers who've conceded that you truly do own the properties in questions, but are taken aback as to how the development was presented, having them think among themselves that if this is how the developer handled this aspect, what else is he doing that we're not aware of and would later regret, for he had an out but refused to act upon it?

Does that clarify what dangerous grounds your treading?

Now, back to where I stand. Here I am, truly loving your site and feel good about those who are behind it, but at the same token confused as to why a corrective course is not taken. It's not that I want the properties, for I don't, but they have been taken from those who may want them (for whatever reason), but only now are able to acquire them if they pay you what you're currently demanding.

Sure you see that you could be sitting on millions of dollars with your creation and none of the proprietors would need to own a single grid. Would you throw all that away for a potential $10K USD max? I don't think so.

I'm willing to stand behind you and your endeavor, but not at the expense of accepting you maintaining those ten properties.

One more thing, my course of action, to date, has nothing to do with your decision to delete a half dozen of my accounts, for I respect your decision for doing such and that it was called for. In fact, you did it very professionally, and I truly respect you for that.

I also have no problem with only maintaining one or two ligament accounts, paying the fair asking price of one euro each so that I can enjoy the potential benefits of owning several more lots.

Please accepting this post in the spirit as it was penned, for I did such without any anger in my heart nor wish you hardship. I'll only pursue that latter aspect if I feel call to action is warranted.

Peace, bro.

~Bruno K~

Thank your for your post, it is a very insightful read.

I have corrected all sales price of my properties to G$ 500 and made them availabe for sale. If anyone is interested they may buy them with their free sign up money.

I'll try it!

Er, wouldn't that be the same as just surrendering the properties? :)

Yes exactly, we rather not manipulate the database in this case, so instead of buying from the system for the low price you can have mine for the low price.

Bravo! Believe me, you'll do much, much better, as you've probably figured out. Please accept my apology if I have caused some burden upon you, but it's for the best across the board. You're well aware that you can still pick up premium grids using an untraceable pseudonym. (best for you to not comment on that aspect)

Now, it's time to revisit your wonderful site.

Later, bud.

~Bruno K~

Thank you for your enthusiasm

It is genuine.

I am still quite stuck in geopieces, after the initial buy it seems you need to pay money to play somemore, not really free

Early adopters get one piece for free. You have to buy any other pieces you want.

It's only a buck thirty USD. Purchase a few primes and flip.

We also have a crowdfunding project, where you can become a fan of the project and later on get Geo$ for vastly reduced prices.

If anyone ist interested or just wants to become a fan on the site for support:
http://www.startnext.de/en/geopieces

Bump, because I like them.

We also just launched an early adopter campaign on Erlibirds:
http://erlibird.com/go/geopieces-com

If you give us quality feedback you can earn money for it.

Bitcoin integration will be coming very soon.
