41  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Rootstock RSK Fork on: November 07, 2016, 10:28:58 PM
If I understand correctly RSK allocates a certain percentage of mining back to dev funding.  If RSK is open source wouldn't it be possible to fork the code and remove this "tax" on mining?  The same thing happened with ZCash and there is a fork of ZCash called ZClassic without the tax.

It seems like bitcoin sidechains that are open sourced will always be forked from one "inefficient" form of money to another.  So to create the best coin you have to make it appealing for all users.

Seems like the pic of the guy in the hoody is potentially showcasing a dark drama similar to Mr. Robot.  Seems like it's already been done.  To be a little different I imagine you would need to change the main character so it is not the stereotypical hacker (white, male, does drugs, introverted, etc.)

If you want to model the real-life crypto community you could have the following characters:

A loony tunes Roger Ver-like character.
Intelligent core devs
Insane /r/btc supporters.
Satoshi played by the Illuminati (or something so outlandish to surprise viewers)
Gavin going from normal to crazy due to some unknown mental disease
Samson Mao as the unlikely Chinese hero
Rick Falkvinge playing an actual pirate with a parrot.

This could go somewhere...

Has the source code been modified anyway or it is a direct compile and install from the Trezor?  I remember another Chinese bitcoin hardware wallet that modified the keys and did some changes that got people all riled up due to possible insecurity.

Skill-based games need to be cheat proof.  How do you prevent cheating?  In chess people can use computers to calculate moves.  In Poker it is also cheatable in that you can run a poker bot.

Thank you for this reminder so I don't take a month long vacation.  It is very stable so I am thinking a 22 day rally instead of 11.

I upgraded from a cheapo keyboard to a cherry-red switch keyboard and my typing speed increased nearly double.  I use my board for typing on the internet and for gaming.  I have a Logitech G610 Red and I think it's great and worth the money.

You have a very general idea.  Are you yourself a developer with a programming skill set?  Or are you planning to hire developers and manage them?  Either way, you will have to plan to recruit the best talent and many will not join your project if they don't believe in your project.  If you plan on using existing bitcoin APIs to develop your products and services then it might be easy to find devs.  But, if you plan on creating or distributing your own coin then you will need a good business and marketing plan to showcase your idea to make it worthwhile to invest.

I think you will need to specialize in a certain area of cryptocurrency instead of the general all approach.

So is Epochtalk actually epic? The beta site seems a little slow.  Default GUI is bare.  Not sure how customizable it is.  Just wondering if the product is actually better than current bulletin boards.

The price of btc is holding up well.  Long term trend is still up.  Target is beyond 1000.  Maybe hold and only spend if I need essentials like toilet paper or food.
51  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I do not feel like upgrading my core wallet. on: November 04, 2016, 09:44:57 PM
Depending on your current version if you upgrade your client could be significantly faster in downloading blocks.  Do it regardless.

Please tell us what we can do with the cards.  Can we make our own game with the copyrighted material?  Can we make our own coins?  Etc.

Thanks for the questions !

Can we make our own coins?  Etc.
Any one can make his own coin we are using Counterparty to make them a free and open source system to create asset on bitcoin blockchain. The question may be whether if we might accept someone's coin in Spells Of Genesis ?
We are working on a system where player might create their own levels and characters and manage and control the distribution of the asset (what you call coin). For example you draw a nice level background and enemy you might issue an asset representing the level. Then you are free to do whatever you want with it, give, trade, sell...

Please tell us what we can do with the cards
The assets are completely free to use. If you want to use "SATOSHICARD" asset for example in your game there is nothing that refrain you to do so. The assets itself is not copyrighted.
But the illustration, the card name, story etc is copyrighted. So if you want to use it in a third party game you need EverdreamSoft's approval. But if you have a project we are happy to hear about it.


I can understand why you would want to keep the copyright for the illustration, card name, story, etc.  Do you think you would make these available open source at some time in the future?

I don't understand how this game can be securely played on a blockchain. Is this an online Vs. another real human game?


The game is played like any other game. You don't "play" on the blockchain.
We are using the blockchain to store game asset and thats the main difference with other games. When you purchase lets say a "magic sword" in Dragon&Dragon (fictive name) this magic sword is stored in the game database. The database is fully controlled by the game developper. The database can be modified and altered or even shutted down by the game studio. You don't have full ownership of the magic sword.
In spells of Genesis your magic sword is stored on bitcoin blockchain. This means you are free to do whatever you want with the asset, give, sell, exchange etc. No one can take the asset from you unless they control your private key

Please tell us what we can do with the cards.  Can we make our own game with the copyrighted material?  Can we make our own coins?  Etc.

really nice looking game + btc. what can better than that?


I thought he game was 'ok'.  Maybe it will be better when it comes out.  What I would like is if they allowed us to program our own games with the copyrighted content they own.

After much back and forth between Google, my unofficial app to browse the cards if finally in the Google Play store!  It's called "BitCrystal Card Game Browser".  View the cards on the mobile device.  Install here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vgemi.cardbrowser

I am considering open sourcing the code since I don't have time to maintain this project.  What do you guys think?
