Does anybody know of the best bang-for-your-buck 3D printer you can get for cheap? I was looking at the monoprice ones that are around $100, that seems like a pretty good deal.

Economy / Reputation / Someone claimed I sold my account, I can prove otherwise

Here is my trust page where DiscoverCebu falsely claimed that somebody had bought my account. Here is a very old thread I made where you can see that I created my own github page. There are enough quotes and posts on that thread that you can easily tell it was not edited later. Here is a page I created on that website to prove that I still and have always owned this account. I am not extremely concerned about this, but I wanted to be able to have a post to point to where I have proof that this has always been my account.

Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: MultiPlayer Tank Game (Bitcoin Integration) Suggestions On Monetization

Having these crates for cosmetics is one option. Another would be just buying cosmetics and skins from an in-game store. However, I think the best method to 'monetizing' the game for players is a entry fee. If there will be entry fee though, everyones' tanks need to be equal power. Also a free-to-play mode is a must, so new players can try out the game modes without risking any money. I feel like different tanks are also an important part of a tank game; but they would need to be instantly available for everyone.
I still disagree. You will get a lot more people to start playing a game that is free, than one that needs an entry fee. Just compare apps in any app store, the top grossing in the play store are usually free games with cosmetics or other in-game purchases rather than people making money off of paid apps.

Biggest regret is definitely gambling and losing 8 BTC a few years back. That's probably why you see me adamantly opposing most forms of gambling around here. Most of the time, it's just not worth it.

I really just think that you should avoid ever using payments to get more of some in-game currency that is used to buy upgrades or anything. My suggestion is payments for purely cosmetic items. Nobody likes playing a game where they can get beat by somebody with more money than them.
Also, really popular right now is the "-box, -crate, .etc" method where players can buy or earn "boxes" that when opened reward the player with one or more cosmetic items, where better cosmetic items have a lower chance of being awarded. How you would handle duplicate items is up to you (award some kind of secondary currency, or just do nothing).
