Hello all!

Also, a decree of the king of Cryptoworld:

The Most Ancient and Wise Community of the Monero House

The first organization character created to the game, Monero House, is feeling the renaissance.

The organization was established and the House was built in 1-C-A3 in 1450, almost 14 decades ago. The House was designed to be 2-story with 2 mezzanines, but due to the haste in constructing it for the Golden Jubilee, only HG The Bishop and the King were contacted for donations. They split the cost of construction and the lot was donated by the Town. Only the lower half of the House was constructed, and it stands to this day.

The House has a Monero Info Center, a Tavern with a cabinet, and some offices/hotel rooms. The Monero House hotel was the first hotel in the town, closing after 100 years of operation in 1550. The Monero House is proud of its shrewd manager (MGR-5) who is currently leased to HM The King, and is administering the Royal Household, one of the largest households in the game with a 10 NPC strong management and 67 million annual expenditure.

What is happening now is that the Hall of Fame, formerly residing in BCT, will be transferred to CK with all its prizes and privileges. The people who have a rank in the BCT HoF, will be credited an equal rank in the CK HoF. To make the transition possible, the holders of the ancient titles from the BCT era, will have to register to CK. Well, that is as easy as contacting the nearest administrator. For the ones that register during the Ancient era, approximately 10 real-days, the following bonuses are credited:

- 1 CKG (currently valued at about 0.3 XMR) for every 10

Thought I'd try my hand at crystal ballin'

We will soon see an increase in volume and a move up to at least 135.

That is all.

[FREE MOSRITE!!!]

I want know know why Mosrite was banned for a week.  It has to be something bad right?  

Did he start a ponzi scheme and defraud the community out of milllions USD in BTC?   No?

Oh, Oh, I know...  he made a giant public bet, lost and then reneged, and then had the balls to act like he was apologizing (instead of paying up?)...  No?  hmm...

Well WTF then?  Was it actually because he is from a eastern European country and doesn;t speak Englush well?  Thats kinda bigotted isn;t it??

I say:

Hi.

I own a recording studio and am new to bitcoins.  I heard about them from a poker buddy, and have been playing some poker on betco.in.

Now I am wondering if I could take them for payment at my studio.

Has anyone had much experience doing this for a local business?  I do live in a large city (Dallas) so there might be some people who might use them.

Any feelings, suggestions, or ideas?
