iluvbitcoins, I think HM The King is on vacation right now. I hope it comes soon! I saw a screenshot a few weeks ago and it looked very nice.


I just got word from HM The King on IRC. He said this:

If anybody would like to see a video of a CK building rendered in 3d, check out this link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=819073.msg11220154#msg11220154

I very much liked the idea of designing it conceptually it in minecraft, it gives some depth to CK for sure.

If only I could be a real person in the game and do fun things like build Sad

At least now you've given me an idea to do stuff while waiting Cheesy

That is exactly the reason I did it--it's something to do while waiting!

If it pleases His Majesty, I would like to introduce the final version of The Gilded Goose. I have rendered out the blueprint and done a video flyaround/through of the model.  This is not in-game footage, but simply an artist's rendition of how it would look if it were built in a 3d world. The video uses Minecraft to help maintain the blocky style of the game. This will hopefully give some visually-minded people an idea of the game and its buildings, and how they are very much real. It (the game) is very well thought out, and this blueprint is actually built to architectural specifications that are set as game parameters (each 1x1 pillar can only support 50 blocks of stone, arch length requires certain support, dome needs to have its weight supported, etc).

Here's the video:



And here's the blueprint it was based upon.

I've only used http://xmr.to once, but it was really fast and worked well. I was able to send from polo -> xmr.to -> giftoff.com to buy a giftcard and it all went according to plan. Muahahahaha!

What do you guys think about creating a forum just for CK? Is it worth the effort? Would people eventually go there? Is it a fool's errand?

It would be easier for people to keep up with everything that goes on in comparison to IRC. Or at least to keep up with whatever they deem important...In any case if more people join a forum is a must.

That's what I was thinking. A single thread isn't going to work once we get 200, 500, 1000 players...

Can anyone explain, at this time, why is the Monero lead dev working to get HitBTC delisted from CoinMarketCap?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=199685.msg11163682#msg11163682

Probably because of the ample evidence he has provided that they are not 100% legit?

Whatever the reason, I was just glad to wake up and pick up some more xmr at 30k sat cheaper than my buy price was yesterday. If this process isn't repeated by countless individuals in the next 24 hours as people wake up to sale prices, I will be surprised.

The usage of SCI points in V.4, and the plans for Town expansion
Land is sold per quadrat, and all the quadrats not already belonging to the King's Esplanade (1,260 total) are for sale. Everyone who has SCI points can spend 5 SCI to redeem a quadrat. When all quadrats have been redeemed, the advance is completed and the Borough is annexed to the Town and the landowners can start building there. All the roads etc. are the responsibility of the landowners (building roads of varying width is not an issue in V.4 as the current /OV with its 10x10 grid does not even exist there visually - although the ownership is still limited to the said grid).

Since in the beginning we have 3,000+ SCI points and it's obvious that the land facing the Esplanade is dramatically more valuable than that which is not, we first arrange an auction for the "first taker rights" where the ones who pay the most extra (m) can choose how to spend their SCI first (price per q). The proceeds are divided between the King and the Town, as it is with all land sales.


I have a proposal as well for how to deal with the land distribution. Perhaps there is a raffle for the q's of land. Each person who would like to enter into the raffle "buys" a ticket for 5 SCI. So, 20 SCI would net you 4 tickets. After a specified time limit, the raffle takes place. The tickets are drawn and the order is noted. Then, each ticket, in order, is redeemed for a q of land of that ticket owner's choosing. 

This means that the people with lots of SCI will be able to buy many tickets, and thus potentially get a better q location. However, that is all up to chance. It also gives the little guy a chance to get a quadrat of land with his 5 SCI as well.

For those who do not have SCI, there is a possible solution as well: perhaps one of the large holders would be willing to sell their SCI points off on a secondary market.

I ordered one of each 2014, but can't tell them apart.  They seem identical.   Huh

Which is silver-plated and which is pure silver?

Putting the content on the coin would be helpful!

Happy Moneroversary!

Brass is about 80% the weight of silver, so if you have an accurate scale, you might be able to tell it that way.

I exhort the restaurant owner to have a look at the seasoned staff of El Bulli and embark on purchasing a similar set. Restaurants are one of the most skill-intensive businesses, or the most, when talking about the high end, with the best possible CHEF and BUTler being essential.

It is possible to buy/sell staff in /SERV, just not hire or fire anyone, or establish new businesses or delete old ones. Hiring of low level staff becomes possible again in V.4.

I have realized that I need a quality chef for this business and I would like to obtain a CHEF-4 or CHEF-5.

*edit* I also need a high-ranking Butler.

Does anyone have a spare one, or would anyone like to trade for any of my other NPC's?  Available for trade:

1 x CHEF-2
1 x CHEF-1
1 x MGR-4
1 x COOK-2

The Gilded Goose

After years of preparation, it is my honor to introduce to you The Gilded Goose. Inspired by the age-old tale of Jack and the Beanstalk, this 5 star combination wine & caviar bar and fine-dining establishment will be sure to tickle your senses while making you feel that you have indeed found the golden egg!

The Gilded Goose is a 30 meter tall structure consisting of two floors of 15 meters each. The first floor consists of an exquisite wine and caviar bar called The Golden Egg. It imports only the finest caviar and wine from around the world. We have recently procured the Almas caviar, which is sure to excite your taste buds!



We have also hired the finest scientists and chefs in the land, and the result has been amazing. Now, for a limited time, we can offer the the newest of our signature caviar: The Gilded Albino. For only the most discriminating connoisseurs, this fine caviar  is made from rare albino fish eggs and laced with 22 carat gold. This one-of-a-kind caviar is only available for consumption at the Gilded Goose.






If fine dining is more your style, take a step up the opulent staircases to the Golden Goose, a restaurant catering to the most discerning of tastes. Upon stepping into the room, your breath will be taken away by one of the highest levels of luxury that has been seen in a CK restaurant (300%).  In an elegant room set in light and gold, all the hands on the clocks are stopped on 12 as a reminder that inside this Palace of Pleasure, time is of no consequence.  The restaurant staff are known for their impeccable manners, high style of service, always being at their clients’ disposal, and their sincerity.  The wine cellar,  filled with 50000 bottles, is a wine aficionados' dream.  Come, lose yourself in a dining experience you won't soon forget!

I just wanted to share a pic of some coins I received in the mail today. They look great! Thanks again!  Cheesy



*edit*

These are mostly brass with silver plating, however I did get 6 pure silver ones as well - 3 x 2014 with the old wording, and 3 x 2015 with the old wording. IIRC, I believe there were only 10 silver coins from 2015 minted with the old wording, making these exceedingly rare and valuable.

After discussions between myself and HE The Prince of North Face, a corporation has been formed in partnership. We are utilizing the old iluvbitcoins corporation-a shell corp for running a defunct mining business.  After sitting idle for years, we have decided to repurpose it and rename it:


The New Reconstruction



The purpose of this corporation will be to purchase and sell land within borough 5 (and later other boroughs) to ensure that a fair price is obtained for both buyer and seller. It will help provide "liquidity" in the property market and keep market prices stable.  It will also ensure that members in the corporation are not fighting a price undercutting war, and will keep prices from fluctuating wildly due to seller/buyer pressure outside the normal market. The New Reconstruction currently has 70q of land allocated to it, and it will be available for purchase shortly.

Internally we have been discussing either an IPO or a share sale. These options may be explored further once the company has a little more history behind it.

I would like to claim the following from the university:

10M moneritos, donated March 01
200,000 moneritos per year for about 10 years (2M total, or maybe 1.8?)

so total 12M.

it happened to Hal Finney, so this is certainly real

I hope we will see him again.

Interesting project, congratulations!

Bit introduction myself,

Actually I'm enrolled on

MITx: 11.127x Design and Development of Games for Learning
(edx plataform) and I was researching about cryptocurrency gamification and I landed here. My first idea was to developing a game like


Civilization
for those interested to teach basic economics concepts, and as far as I can see you guys are doing wonderful job here. I hope that I'm going to learn a lot.

PS-> I haven’t read all threads here, so I'm asking for apologize in advance in case of being redundant.
 
Thanks
Kind regards,
AA
