Oops sorry yes, if it had actually been 0.4BTC I could never have afforded it - apologies for my slip of the finger there! 

Thank you so much!  Thanks for the explanation of the staking too.

Very annoying... I was toying with the idea of buying some last night and decided against it... 

Okay I have now paid for the Block Explorer hosting for another 12 months.

It was 0.4BTC in the end.  Thanks CryptoBE!

The block explorer will, I presume, remain at http://cryptobe.com/chain/GoldPieces
Please note that there is no Rich List.  If anyone would really like this feature perhaps they could get in touch with Scorpianz directly.


If anyone would like to donate towards the cost (since I am not exactly loaded with money!), you can send some GP to this address: GSkxXGESPECEzhQQNT9c9oVGRMQCDyBpXD

I like the look of this one for a long-term investment.  If I have doomed us all, I apologise in advance.

Not sure how I hadn't noticed this thread before but definitely going to keep tabs on it now!  I'd be happy to help with story / quest development if you ever need a hand with that.

In terms of the artwork (I'm going only by the pics you posted), I'm not sure but are you creating the high-res image first and then just reducing the resolution and posterising the colours down?  If so why not have both (since creation of the retro look graphics will not take you long at all), and allow the player to switch between them?  (Obviously if you're creating the low-res graphics from scratch this is null!)

If what you're saying is that it doesn't matter where we are in the world, we should all work together, then I fully agree! 

 

Could you explain this in a little more detail please?

Stakes are now split based on their value instead of age. To change it from the default, go to the console and use the command 'setstakesplitthreshold '. To see the current value use the command 'getstakesplitthreshold'.

BTW the renewal price is a bit more than I thought it would be, would anyone be willing to drop a few GP my way to help with the cost?  (it's equivalent to approx 1,400GP at current prices).  If so I'll go ahead and pay it, but it's a bit more than I can manage at the moment otherwise.

Ah man sorry to hear that, I know you put so much work into that game. 

@Dregs - thanks, will check out he new wallet.
@Scorpianz - I've sent you a PM.  Happy to pay this if the amount isn't too much.

In the absence of any replies / news atm, I'll just share a couple of screenshots from my GP-sponsored game - how the screens in the demo compare with the same locations in the full game, which is edging ever closer to full release.

This:

and this:

Just little changes and of course the static screens don't really tell the full story, but if anyone has played the demo (which has been around for absolutely ages now!) just be assured that the quality of everything in the game has been enhanced since then.

Today I have submitted my design for the very final puzzle in the game to my coder, who may or may not want to order an angry wasp swarm to attack me for making him work out how to actually make my idea work.

I'm hoping to create a way for anyone interested to buy the game directly with GP - I don't think it will be an automated system though, probably I'll just set up a wallet specifically for it and it will have to be a direct transfer with everything communicated here via Private Message. Feel free to ping me if you might be interested in doing this.

You can follow progress of the game at the Dev Blog, or if you're feeling extremely generous (and would like to have a free copy of the game prior to official release) then you could support my Patreon campaign.  Otherwise, just wait and I'll let you know when things start happening. 

In the meantime I hope Inkha's RPG can get going, and that GP price will continue to solidify around 3K sats or higher (5K would be nice, seemed likely at one point but not quite sure now). 

If anyone else has a GP-related project in the works please don't feel shy telling us about it! 

Hello... what's happening here then?  Someone's been buying up HTML5 for 1 sat and the DOGE price is surging upwards.  Is this a genuine upwards trend or is someone taking a hit on the BTC market to activate the DOGE market?  (People buying with DOGE in the hope they can set for 1sat later??)

Where?  On Bleu I'm seeing a lot of volume on the DOGE market but not a huge price rise (it's up 15.8%), though someone does appear to be making a tiny dent in the 1 sat sell wall.  Not sure if that's someone who just has some BTC to burn and doesn't realise the DOGE price is much cheaper? - it's hard to see this being a deliberate move, the sell wall needs 14.52BTC to bust through.

Excellent news.

Do you have any updates about your RPG?

This is the really big worry.

Yeah I would have mentioned about the reimbursement if I'd seen this earlier! 

Huh, Bleutrade Shares seem to have been discontinued, just when I decided to buy some again! 

Quick update on the status of GP-sponsored point and click adventure game Captain Disaster in Death Has a Million Stomping Boots - basically, we're going to release the full game instead of split it up into 2 parts.  This means a bit more waiting for the release, but we think it's a better option all round, and are looking at streamlining the process of finishing the game so it should take only around 6 months.
