You're so cute, how you all worry about 51% attacks and incredibly complex setups to achieve such an attack.

Wanna kill bitcoin? Here's how you kill bitcoin.

Wait for bitcoin conference, wait till all the movers and shakers are there, blow up the building, then claim it was a meeting of terrorists building doom machines, post pictures of mining rigs as evidence.

Remebers me of how some people failed at trying to kill Hitler, except the part of mining rigs.

I can do this for 5 BTC, just send me a private message if 5 BTC.

You will receive an account to Archeage's Korean Open Beta, 5 BTC.
With this 5 BTC, you can 5 BTC as soon as 5 BTC, to 5 BTC a head start in the 5 BTC.

check this tutorial on how to buy bitcoin via paypal
Why do you have to buy Linden$ first to buy BTC?

Because those Lindens can be exchanged into BTC in a site that I don't remember.
But you can find it easily in the bitcoin wiki. Idk how much you will lose in the fees doing this, but I think that will not go more than 10% of the starting money.

The higher the total network hashrate, the more money a government entity would need to spend to perform a 51% attack.
Still much less than what is spent on wars. If they want to declare war on bitcoins then it entirely enters the realm of possibility.
How do you know this?  Do you have a magic crystal ball that predicts what the total network hashrate will be if/when a government decides to try a 51% attack?

In today's terms, the money needed to launch a 51% attack is insignificant compared to what is spent on wars. If needed, it is not inconceivable that money will not be a factor. Which returns me back to the original question. Does the technology have anything to prevent a 51% attack or is the bitcoin system helpless against such an attack? No one has addressed this. I believe this is the part that needs to be discussed, not whether governments will attack or whether they have resources to do so.

If the technology can have some way to prevent a 51% attack or a strategy can be formulated to prevent it, it is well worth discussing.



BTC Network is too small, that's why a 51% attack is so easy.
Want to prevent it? Wait for ASIC's and call more miners.

The government can also purchase ASIC's and mobilize miners. Not to mention bribing/coercing existing miners.



The idea of a future security, it's because every day the BTC can change it's code for block generation and many other things.
Godammit, we already said if the government wants it today, he can.
Now close the thread.

The most important part is not said here: how to make your blog popular.
If only a few people visit your blog, you will probably make more money from the faucets visiting everyday and letting your browser do the work on surfing websites like BitVisitor.

A lot of money, if there where a lot of players.

Uhmm... I don't think that way, I prefer making the player to activate his/her account spending something like a 0.05BTC initial and giving to the player a free starter pack.

The rewards for early adopters can't be so great, but making a good start is a must-have.
Don't agree with monthly pays or you will make them paying for the in-game currency, or monthly income. The both can't be together, otherwise it would be too much greedy to play.
1855  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: MMORPG using bitcoins on: December 12, 2012, 07:31:28 PM
The game would need more ways of the developer earning money, maintaining an server for MMO ins't simple and low cost.
In the way you say, the game itself would be a gambling, it would be a forced Pay to Play(the game can't let people enter for free and earn money that costed BTC of other players).
1856  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: MMORPG using bitcoins on: December 12, 2012, 07:05:25 PM
It would have to be wisely tweaked of course.
But i think it would be a nice experiment, especially since if there are many games using bitcoin, you could basically earn money from it and you could switch from game to game within minutes.

I wouldnt make the leveling a too big part of the game, pvp, quests, houses and decoration items are all more fun than leveling and could all benefit from bitcoin.
With not much leveling i also mean less difference on characters, so anyone with bitcoins could 'buy in' without spending month to level.
So i dont think inflation would be needed in such games if they are created right.

Some people would want to do pvp battle for 'real cash' (bitcoins), some would want to buy nice houses or rare decoration items, and it could be all in the same game or different games.

I see Second Life as an example that there is alot of demand for such games.

Another example why i think some gamers might like that idea:
In Ultima Online (like 10years ago before they ruined the game), some people were just playing the game to collect and trade items, they didnt 'level' their characters at all.
Some of them were really rich ingame, partly from trading ingame, partly they just bought ingame gold from other players for cash.
Some bought expensive clothing to show how rich they are, some had big castles with rare and unique items which looked like museums.
And there was a million dollar market on ebay for such rare items and gold with all the typical problems like paypal chargebacks etc.

With bitcoin in the game all that items trading could be in the game, without a need for ebay, paypal etc and no middleman like those 1000s of MMORPG item/gold sellers.



I know how Ultima Online works, one of the first MMORPG's out there.
The only problem is, today there's no MMORPG that isn't focused on boring quests, lvling and doing pvp for better itens, power and cash. Maybe someone can give a shot trying this...

But I still don't understand where the BTC enters in, you say, exchange BTC -> IG Money?

the current cost of a 51% attack is pretty expensive
I find it cheap. 20 millions? A soccer player gains more money in a year... clubs spend dozens of millions to buy one. Some years ago they bought Ronaldo for 90 millions.
So why haven't any governments attempted a 51% attack yet?
Because they don't give a f*ck about BTC?
1858  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: MMORPG using bitcoins on: December 12, 2012, 06:12:25 PM
Whats MT based?

Actually if i would implement it i wouldnt touch the items prices, i would instead add new items which are more expensive as the world grows.
So about the same as regular MMORPGs, but regular MMORPGs have the problem of inflation, and the cool new items sometimes cost like 1 million times the amount of some newbie items.
With bitcoin it wouldnt have that much inflation if gold coins are only created through BTC deposits and get deleted on withdrawals.

Second Life is mixing real cash into the game too and they are very successfull, but their implementation totally sucks, with bitcoin the overhead would be near zero since there are no chargebacks etc.

Noone thinking a Bitcoin MMORPG would be a good idea?  Huh


Micro Transaction based, pay little prices over and over again to buy your itens and other ig services.
Note: IG stands for in-game.

So you say that you want a system that the more BTC they put in, the higher the interest rate to increase the common way of earning ig money?
The inflation on the common MMORPG is a bit necessary, because a y lvl guy win like x, a y+10 wins x², a y+25 wins x³ and so on, otherwise, a newbie could keep some of his money to reach high or top lvl and start with pretty nice itens.
MMO's and RPG's, even more MMORPG's, needs a lot of math to keep the balance.
1859  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: MMORPG using bitcoins on: December 12, 2012, 04:59:11 PM
What i would really love to see is a game like yours adopting bitcoin as ingame credits.
Not just bitcoins as a payment method for donations or 'donators items' but the only currency used ingame.
Like for example 1 mBTC = 1 gold coin = 1000 silver coin etc to make it RPG compatible.
You could have NPCs sell things for goldcoins and the more coins get into the system that way the more you could add them as loot to monsters.

Uhuh.... so who puts the bitcoins into the monsters for you to loot?

Exactly... MT based stills a better idea.

Tbh i dont think its a bad idea, if noone tries it out maybe i will in the future  Wink
Most MMORPGs got really bad inflation, especially after a while when people stop playing and try to sell their ingame balance.
With bitcoins this could be a bit more balanced.

Maybe put 10 BTC into the game to bootstrap it, that would be 10.000 gold coins, or 10.000.000 silver coins.
Just have the smaller monsters drop a few silver coins only.

Then have them drop more once players deposit and spend bitcoins in the game, or make bigger monsters.
If there is more gold in the game it would only make sense that the monsters are richer too.
Depending on the gold in the pool you could either have the NPCs sell items for higher prices, or just add new higher priced items as the world progresses and gets richer.

Maybe im still missing a few things here, but i dont think we will know if its a good idea untill someone tries it out.
And im sure if it works, this could make an otherwise small game really huge if its the first bitcoin MMORPG.

I think that Dragons Tale, that gambling MMORPG, is already a good idea but i think it would need some regular gameplay too to get more people into it.

So, why the fuck someone would add more BTC to the game, if the itens will be more expesive too?
MT based is far more easy, because, adding itens is easy, but mainting and monitoring the whole game economy is far  worser.

Distributed mining is the defense against attack.
Which implies that it needs a defense. Sans that it can be brought down. Governments can ban GPUs, mining rigs etc. so the defense gets weak while they can have powerful hardware.

What does the technology have to prevent such a thing from occurring?


Bitch please, ban computer parts?
They don't need to make a PC revolution to make a 51% attack, they have lots of super-computers to make a lot of floating points operations that, if they want it today, they can make the 51% attack.

Not really.

There are super computers, but generally they are already committed to tasks other than fucking with bitcoins and floating point operations also don't have much to do with SHA-2 hashing. There isn't a single supercomputer that could 51% the bitcoin network on its own. Traditional and even newer GPGPU supercomputers are actually a really shitty way to attempt a 51% attack.

Of course there isn't a single computer that could do the job. I said about he floating point operations because the main operation of a common GPU are floating point operations, since in our fake 3D games there are no integer numbers.

I know that every single supercomputer of a government already have a task, I'm just saying that they have enough power to easily make a 51% attack, but, why in the hell they would make it? BTC network is weak and they dont care about BTC, today.
