I don't know what changes you made but the bottom of the announcement looks all fucked up now. You might want to take a look at it.

You really shouldn't be doing that. 

Some people are stupid and cant figure out how much each coin is and how cheap it is but now you posted it and everyone will know.

Just got confirmation from Fuzzy from Beyond Bitcoin that the recording should be up within the next 24 hours. Also a reminder is we've started using Steem now to post updates but don't worry we'll still be posting them here! So, if you're a Steem user make sure you check out @pro4never

great i am waiting, c'mon guys we are now 60 btc we can make it to 100 btc before end of weekend, lets do it! I will send in 2 tomorrow lets get this party started

1,000,000,000 x 0.05 x .15 = 7,500,000 euro not 750,000.

@ 1 billion euro transaction volume per year and 15% on a .05% fee, the project would be an outstanding success for all involved.


But, they have not committed to this.

Yes, I won't stay long though, it's night here so we may meet tomorrow. Have a nice day!

So let me try to clarify our current stance or views on things,

As of right now we have looked into the legalities of online gambling with virtual currencies such as Bitcoin and what some of the bigger Bitcoin casinos use. Namely what we've looked into is offshore registration for the company mainly dealing with Jewels in Costa Rica or other similar countries typically used for these sort of operations. This seems to be a popular choice as it's reasonably priced and obtaining a gambling license there doesn't seem as difficult as in the North America or Europe. The restrictions we need to impose with a Costa Rican gambling license isn't that bad either. It's worth noting, since we're not gambling with Bitcoin or fiat it's less likely a legal authority will pursue us but we want all of our bases covered.

On the note of smart contracts, I personally have looked into Etherum but have not had much chance to experiment with or learn Solidity although it seems like a fairly straight forward language. While at this time I'm not 100% sure about everything gambling related being able to fit under a smart contracts it is an idea we're open to. I'm aware of the fact that we can utilize an Etherum token stored in a smart contract and effectively do an asset swap when we're ready to pursue the smart contract route. I'd like to stress though with the recent incident of the DAO it's clear that this route is something that should not be rushed so we see this more as an end-game idea. Definitely we will need to consult with parties who are more familiar with Solidity and smart contract development to ensure we don't unleash another disaster like that. If you know anyone who's had some decent experience with Solidity and Etherum, I'd love to have a chat with them so please encourage them to email us at jewels@apexconquer.com or better yet reach out to us via Slack.

This should help clear up some of your questions freequant and for anyone else curious let me know if I've missed anything.

Bet he feels like an ass now.
lol
 

I have noticed this site is offline: http://45.55.9.239:3001

DBIC must be hiding the rich list wallets for dumping purposes.

It has been an helpful interview, it also clarified a couple of things about integration of jewels into conquer servers and possibly into other games.

I talked with Fuzzy and he said the SoundCloud recording is usually available the day after, I'll post this as soon as I have it!


You'll be able to hear the recording as soon as the Beyond Bitcoin group upload the recording. We feel that it over all went better then the Blockchain Dynamics show because it was far more engaging with people asking questions in real time as well as followup functions and not just Chris essentially talking to himself.

We're now actually just shy of 57 BTC so we're on the right track towards meeting our goal!

If you missed our segment on Beyond Bitcoin, we will be tweeting the link to their SoundCloud once the recording of the entire meeting is uploaded as well as mentioning the time when we speak at. If you weren't able to directly ask us questions on the Beyond Bitcoin hang out, join us over on Slack where we're more than happy to engage in dialog!

Well, everyone's investment so far hasn't triggered sustained buying. There is no reason one more will change anything. Incentives are stacked against participating before the absolute last moment. I suggested OP to change slightly the structure of the ICO to neutralize the self-reenforcing effect of the wait-and-see strategy. It's up to OP to decide if he wants to help his own ICO. It's not my role trying to bootstrap things on his behalf.

Hello,

I have been searching the forums for good POS coins with good development and community and aren't prone to price manipulation. In no order I like.

Zeitcoin
Blackcoin
Peercoin
Mintcoin

What other coins are there that have a future?

Thanks

kinda wishing I sold all my coins instead of just half.  Gonna need an upward bounce soon or ppl like me are gonna dump to at least make something.

Technically  it's possible to create that. But the problem is you need to download every blockchain if not you can not sync. You just need run their coin daemon and then your application connect to coin daemon.

We were using Blockchain with our site for quite a while but this has become ridiculous - they were charging around $0.04 initially for sending 1 Bitcoin transfer but now if we paid a member $1.50 for instance (worth of Bitcoins, a minimal amount) we would see a $1.75 deduction i.e. $0.25 is in fees!

That's absolutely ridiculous, yesterday it was $0.11 and now it's $0.25 - they keep on raising the fees.

Is this normal?

That center bar is stamina. It is used by all classes for certain skills. Ninjas use stamina for all of their skills.


We plan to focus on additional content through re-designing under utilized content rather than adding fresh classes. A good example would be weapon variety. There is a dozen or so different types of weapons (swords, blades, axes, hammers, hooks, clubs, etcetc) and only a handful of them are actually used. Our first major expansion pack will take some of these weapons and give them new skills and mechanics to make them more interesting. That also serves as a way for us to expand on classes that feel a bit underwhelming for players based on the previous few months of gameplay.

For example if 4-6 months from now archers feel a bit stale (they have always been more of a player vs monster class) then giving them some new skills based around an existing under-utilized weapon would be a great way to make the class more exciting and at the same time leverage existing client assets to save on development time.



Based on how the class worked in the original conquer online and based on our testing, they are a very powerful class. They can be thought of as a counter to ranged classes like archers and taoists due to their very quick damage. Where they run into issues is when they can't quickly kill a target in a hit or two (such as when vs a warrior). At that point they need to wait for a weakness by working with allies or by repeatedly applying poisons until the target is weak enough to take down.



Lets break things down as it seems you may not have read the full OP (it's long I'll grant you that).


Apex has been online and been my full time job for 18+ months - Conquer Online (the game it's emulating) has existed for well over a decade. There is no development funds needed for that project and it is an existing and established game where jewels will be used as an immediate first use case (built in demand for the currency).


Heroes is a much more modern version of the same game (conquer online) and will be launching within a week of the ICO ending. There is no development funds needed for that project and it has been in development/testing for around 8 months.

Jewels Gambling is what the funds raised will be used for. These will be a series of provably fair crypto gambling games which will be available separately from our private server projects as well as being embedded in the existing client. These gambling games will therefor have an immediate audience of thousands of users as well as the very large potential for future growth by partnering with other servers, other games, other gambling websites in order to have our games added to their offerings.

The remaining dev funds will be put towards phase 1 of developing our own MMO. We have many years of experience developing stable and popular server projects as well as developing unique content for players. We want to push those skills to the next level by developing our own game from the ground up. Yes, it will be inspired by many of the concepts from Conquer Online that we like best but it will NOT be a clone, it will be our own game developed from scratch with modern gaming in mind.



The amount of funds we raise determines how many gambling games we can create, how quickly they will be ready for users and how complex they can be. Simple things like dice games and slot machines require relatively little in regards to development (a couple artists and a developer or two) but if we're going to expand to much more complex projects like multi player blackjack, roulette and more then that requires a LOT more in terms of programming, art (3d models, textures, effects) and sounds.

The gambling projects are our priority when it comes to this ICO as it's where funds can be best utilized to grow the coin past simply being a premium crypto used in a number of existing games. Having them immediately in use is a huge benefit, don't get me wrong but it's not something that can scale exponentially. Heroes/Apex has no use for external funding and that's nothing to do with what this ICO is about, it's simply the first and most accessible use case for the coin and a demonstration of my past experience as a developer.
