Will long suffering Coinomat investors get some WCT?

Or, wait for main net launch, then new dev talent can buy a stake.

For when you hit rock bottom, these steps are powerful, not just for alcoholics.

It's all performance ART!

Yes, I'm talking from here on, AFTER the remaining b1 & m3 depos have been almost depleted, and the limbo b1 likely defaulted on, those who didn't exit during the artificial peg period are stuck now, so they 'fight' and make CK a success so their M and in-game assets go up in value, or CK dies, and their losses are realised.

Those who exited successfully (actually withdrew) do not have the same motivation to make CK a success now as those stuck inside CK.

From Ristos point of view this might be what he wanted to achieve, some motivated stake-holders.

This may have been Risto's plan all along, no retreat possible!

Is the depository genie out of the bottle now .... @ChrisPop, who's approval do you need to setup your depo?

Awesome news, good luck!!

Independent and competing depositories could be a game changer for CK.

Good points, I always calculate marketcap using total outstanding coins when I assess the current price of a coin.

The greater problem with marketcap though, is market manipulation of price and volume, but there's nothing anyone can do about that. So many top 40 coins today are really house of cards, and the best advice to noobies is read, study, learn as much as you can, don't believe the market, do the hard work and investigate coins yourself.

Shelby has an account and character on CryptoKingdom game so he might use that as a communication platform for his future projects.

100 sock stakes in NEM is serious money now, any chance of taking action against UtopianFuture irl?

I believe CK still enjoys a large amount of goodwill from many senior figures in monero & crypto generally. If YGM should take a moment to reflect on this goodwill, I'm sure it will help you find a way through the current situation. People like smooth & generalizethis want to help CK reach its potential, as do many others. Now might be the time to focus on long term structural issues, changes that make the foundations of CK stronger. I believe it is in your long term interests to listen to advice and opinions from the community on how to proceed calmly, pause for reflection, and let the situation resolve itself naturally using common sense. Many people care for the future of CK, and for you, so listen to people discuss these structural issues with an open mind, and take a break to clear your mind.

Opinion
The removal of admin privileges from "rpietila.TheVoice" in the last 24 hours could be the turning point for Crypto Kingdom's future success, I predict things will improve rapidly from here, and 'M' and other in-game assets are now undervalued.

Originally rpietila was:
1- Game Designer
2- Game Master
3- King of Crypto Kingdom
4- Largest stakeholder, CK 'Whale'
5- Control of major town/game accounts like, Coinshop etc

This worked during the bootstrapping startup phase, but having so many functions performed by one individual is obviously not the ideal setup, and not sustainable. Events of recent weeks & days have shaken things up considerably, and the overall effect may have removed the single point of failure issue that has hamstrung CK since 2014.

What we now have after admin privileges and Game Master responsibilities have been removed from "rpietila.TheVoice", (and maybe control of some non-personal Town accounts), looks much more healthy and sustainable going forward, and much less stress and pressure for rpietila as he sorts out his personal situation and future.

Current situation:
1- Game Designer - rpietila (hopefully)
2- Game Master - ?? (moneromooo currently)
3- King of Crypto Kingdom - hmc_
4- Largest stakeholder, CK 'Whale' - ownership of game resources post b1 resolution will *probably* reduce rpietila's % stake in CK to more healthy levels
5- Control of major town accounts - ?? (hopefully shared among trusted long-term players)

Nothing has changed with PJ as CK dev, and once the dust settles maybe saddam could be convinced to resume deposit admin again, and/or another trusted person is found to take-over or assist.

Overall, assuming the community consensus agrees with the direction and vibe of the recent changes, I think the future for Crypto Kingdom is much brighter than it may appear to casual observers. If the b1 depo withdrawal issue can be resolved amicably, then we might be able to harness the current increased interest and attention from the community, and use it to build a much more sustainable and decentralised administrative setup for the Game.

Risto does have a gift for the economic game mechanics design and storytelling, and if that becomes his future focus, then in time I can see the community looking back on the recent events of the last few weeks as a win::win for everyone concerned. One single person could not carry the load forever, especially not when dealing with significant problems in other areas of life.

Is there a tutorial on using GUI wallet with a remote node? (i.e. a light wallet setup)

Opinion
Events of the last few days (and last few weeks generally) have been very thought provoking, and the recent addition to CK of the "FUCK" market made me think of a recent interview with Iggy Pop I saw. In it, the great man reflected on a pivotal influence in his youth when he saw The Doors play. While the other three Doors were musically tight and professional, Jim Morrison was completely off his tits on acid, barely able to stand, unable to sing properly, and disturbingly confrontational and antagonistic towards the audience. Morrison was basically a poet, and didn't care about the music that much, so he really didn't give a FUCK about being a performer.

Iggy realised watching Jim Morrison that while on stage, a performer can basically do anything they want, they can not give a FUCK and still hold an audiences attention if they're still 'good', and Iggy took this idea and extended it many times further than Jim Morrison ever did, including slashing himself, dressing in drag, exposing himself, onstage blow jobs, he invented stage-diving etc etc Iggy basically invented the wild outrageous front man toolkit by about 1969.

In the interview, Iggy tells of how he could hear the intensity of the other Stooges playing become more authentic and genuine the more he did certain stage antics, particularly squatting down and imitating the movements of an excited chimpanzee. When Iggy went into full not give a FUCK mode the other Stooges stopped imitating their influences, and genuinely found their own unique creativity, which became hugely influential for literally thousands of bands for decades since, even bands who get the influence 2nd or 3rd or 4th hand.

The tree of influence from The Stooges, and particularly Iggy, is huge, and a lot of the initial inspiration came from a disturbed and confrontational Jim Morrison, tormenting his audience while tripping on acid in about 1967.

I think some of the recent GM antics have been similarly confrontational and disturbing, but also quite entertaining and possibly successful, and that's the roll of the 'front man', to get people paying attention, to be captivating, to stand out, be memorable. The disturbing blend of the personal & public information, the sex and fucking, all blended up in a mysterious confusion of fact/fiction/fantasy will get attention, and might be good for growing interest in CK, and maybe player numbers. But there are problems with this approach too.

Jim Morrison could only get away with being off his tits and 'disturbing' because the three musicians in the band were always spot on, tight and reliable. Without that foundation, Jim Morrison would have been totally exposed on stage, he could only survive and hold the audience because the music was good quality, and professional, and I think this is what CK needs. The GM can roam into strange behaviour and 'disturbing' roll-playing territory only to the extent that it doesn't undermine the Game itself and make some elements unplayable. What ultimately destroyed The Stooges was that unlike The Doors, all of The Stooges were major drug users, not just Iggy, and that lack of professionalism effected their ability to tour and play gigs. What stopped The Doors career was Jim Morrison dying at 27, and there's a lesson in that also maybe.

For CK, the Game platform needs to be 100% reliable, and the rules need to be crystal clear and unambiguous, and maybe there needs to be a second GM to assist in cases where Zechariah goes full galactic, just so the 'platform' stays rock solid and reliable even when Zechariah goes-off, confident that everything underneath will still work around him. There's some really 'creative' and interesting things going on around CK now, but the 'disturbing' and dangerous elements need a firm foundation, otherwise the whole enterprise can spiral into chaos quickly.

Ok, thanks for hearing my opinion YGM!

edit: coinshop market making for b1 and m3 has been restored

Opinion
The server downtime and possible DB corruption caused some panic. Combine this with the mystery of Zechariah giving away his CK funds, and we had a perfect storm of confidence against CK.

b1 and m3 markets went through the roof as people rushed for the depo share exits, and many withdrawals were made.

Now that the DB corruption 'panic' is over, and a restructure seems to be happening behind the scenes (hopefully), I suggest temporarily turning off the coinshop market maker to let natural price discovery return for b1 & m3.

At the moment coinshop has very little b1 to sell anyway, and coinshop has removed all its sell orders for m3, but still has buy orders for m3 at the panic prices.

Better to remove all coinshop orders for m3, but failing that, the m3 exit via coinshop sell orders should be restored.

It doesn't look good if coinshop appears to be blocking the m3 exit after some made it out, while artificially keeping the m3 price high (M low) with panic level buy price orders for m3.

Those who bought depo shares at the top of the panic made a choice, and if confidence in CK game returns, some might choose to buy back into M, but coinshop should not be keeping the entry door open at an artificial m3 price, if it has closed the m3 exit.

Those who exited at panic prices would most likely take a haircut if they returned to M, and coinshop is preventing that.

Current CK marketcap is ~5M USD , which looks low compared to the fundamentals of CK.

None of my stake blocks gets accepted now since all the upgrade, everyone is "generated but not accepted"

any ideas?
