Very nice indeed.

Agreed. I have been following Steam box and hoping it will shine now that Xbox has revealed this dreadful news.

Money is not the answer! Lol, I would also like to see peace.

Requirements:

-Need a namecheap.com account.

How will it be sent?

I will use the 'Push' function, because of the domain being so young. (This is why you need a namecheap.com account)


Starting Bid: 0.1

Increments: 0.1

Auction duration: 7 Days.


Additional information:
The site was going to be developed by me and one of my close friends, however during planning we hit a few complications and think that it would take a longer time than we expected to develop our project, with our limited time we are now going to post pone the  project.
We have our eyes on other Bitcoin domains which would better suit our project anyway, but our project will more than likely be started in a couple of months.

We currently have a template on the website suggesting different things which can be done with the website. However this was us just whipping up something quick for a example of what you could do. We currently have a index page and his on a free host.
You will have full control on this domain and will be able to modify anything, including host, design and purpose.

Attention: I know that this is a young domain and can't be transfered until 60 days, that's why I'm only allowing the push function and require a namecheap account. Please let me know if the push function will not work, however I believe it does and I have heard from others that it does.

I would personally suggest coinlenders, it's a very good site and it's owner is more than trusted within the community handling a lot of Bitcoins every day.

Do you know if they will be offering this service to Europe any time soon? I have been looking for a service which I could use my phone for charging my phone.

I would never switch, but it's handy if you can't get to you're computer for any reasons. Plus my internet browser on my phone is normally messed.

Welcome to the forums!

You must be willing to provide collateral if you are going to apply for a loan.

Must be a big ass pizza, which huge toppings.

Oh really?

Yeah, I was just giving a example, maybe I should of thought of another online merchant, lol.

Hopefully, developers will tell Microsoft where to go and revert to PC, unlikely but we can wish can't we?

I don't like it and I don't like the way microsoft is developing it. It's not a dedicated gaming machine anymore. It's a entertainment system. It's going to cost a total of £600. That's a lot. They have made the kinect compulsory to use which will be on whenever the xbox is turned on. I hate that, there's a reason why I didn't get the kinect in the first place, it's a accessory which I thought was useless.

It's basically a computer, x86 architecture. So they are charging £600 for a GAMING console, which acts like a computer and does what a computer does. Yet, a computer will cost you a lot less and can be upgraded when needed to be.

Moving onto the next thing, games being £90 a pop and having a fee of pre-owned games , what a mess. Plus no backward compatibility, I know there is a reason for this but dam.

I hope PS4 can pull something from under their sleeve and shock us all, at this moment they are being very secretive.

Actually console prices have more to do with the cost of an iPhone. Its the serious limiting factor and partially why this console cycle was 7 years. It doesn't make sense since an iphone cannot play call of duty but apparently people seem to think of the retail cost of an iphone to be the level to pay for consumer hardware. This is also why we don't have certain features on the 1st generation of hardware like backwards compatability despite it being well known an "360 on a chip" has already been designed for that purpose. And bare in mind everyone apart from Nintendo will be losing money on each console sold. And will do for about 5 years.

 For the entire life of the nintendo (Nes) most titles were £90 in back then money. Of course the excuse then was cartridges. Prices of games will fall except those with mass appeal like Rockband and Call of Duty which will always be top rate. £90 is unsustainable especially when you can buy 91 tablet or phone games for that price. The cost of development has gone up. Partially due to asset production. Its not quite as bad as animation where you draw each asset by hand but its close. If anything the architecture has got simpler because everyone just uses the unreal engine. I can justify it being £90 but I cant see anyone paying it.


 Im surprised people haven't been making 1984 references because its exactly like the tv cameras in the book for more or less the same reasons. Copy protection. But also like removing the start button from Windows 8 it forces the consumer to use the interface and hence become used to the interface. Voice recognition has been around for decades but nobody uses it because it feels awkward. This addresses the larger problem of keyboardless input that everybody is wrestling with. Somehow we can't get a more efficient method of input than typing but we can't make keyboards mobile with any degree of comfort. Something like 90% of mobile phone transactions are left unfinished presumably because the user quit out of frustration of putting in all the necessary information on a smart phone keyboard. Forcing people to finally use voice control sidesteps the issue.

The bandwidth issue is basically a statement of the industry "We need you to have a decent internet connection for this to be financially viable for us to provide you content, if you can't afford uncapped bandwidth you probably can't afford our stuff." Thats fair enough. Its not nice but its a proven business model. And eventually the poorer consumers buy the £90 budget model from a supermarket in 2020 when the next next console is out.

PC gaming has become viable. Its basically all PC gaming through different hypervisors and as I said last week the microsoft controller becoming standard input for gaming has made it more financially viable to take a risk and publish on PC even though for every 1 copy sold 99 will be torrented which hurts console sales since you buy one nice PC and you can play some if not all eventually three consoles games. And not even that nice a PC anymore. My 3 year old studio laptop can play releases from last month.

Games are really expensive. Its not like animation which is also resource heavy but theres another dimension, interactivity, to design and control. Quality Assurance tests for the 360 are $100,000 a round. And thats the no-skill side of the industry. Like animation there already is asset outsourcing to dubious parts of the world like china. And THQ possibly the lowest common denominator IE most viable publisher just went under. Maybe the £40 a title consumers have begrudgingly paid actually too little? Especially considering the cost/hours of entertainment ratio.

This is cool! But...oh yes there is a but. I opened you're website and the music scared me too death, I wasn't expecting it.

I predict you are all wrong.

I love this! You bring a very funky and funny perspective to this forums. I don't want you to stop either, I want you to find the coolest and strangest thing you can and auction it.

As more people invest in ASIC, the more difficult it will become to mine. Therefore it will take longer to break even than usual. ASIC was very beneficial to early investors, but now that's what everyone is doing.
