Hyper is offline on shapeshift?
It appears it is so currently. We are investigating. Please also raise a support ticket with them about the issue. |

Don't forget, you can earn a lot of GP by playing Dragon Knights of Valeria at http://dknight2.com! We are coming up on our 1 year anniversary next month and hope to see you there for it. We are also nearing the 1,500 player mark, all thanks to the community! That is true, i still play from time to time, its just one thing that bothers me and that is the economy of the game. While the cost for building upgrades and sort of things stay the same all the time no matter how many resources are on the market or has been produced. Everything should be a matter of changes. I know its hard to do this and i really wonder how will that be done in Crypto Galaxies. An update to enhance that could consist of basing the required amount of resources off of the players level. The higher you are the more it will cost you to do stuff. The issue with upgrades is it has to be fair for new players and old alike, just have to find a middle ground. The economy is decided by the players though. I could add minimum limits for the exchanges but this would limit the new players from effectively using them. Yes this is why the cost for technology upgrades will be the same for all players of Crypto Galaxies as well, otherwise it is unfair on new players (although higher tech levels will cost more for all players as well). |

I'm really interested on when the GUI does actually come. |

This project has been really fun to watch evolve. When I have time, one day I will definitely open an account and try and own some land in Crypto Kingdom  |

When players have a large empire in the late game, how much HYPER can they expect to earn? Keep up the good development! Thanks for the encouragement! It's still early days. There are two ways the game might go: 1.) Players won't be earning HYPER directly, but all the other in-game currencies and resources that will have their own blockchains and be traded against HYPER, GP and possibly BTC, on a decentralized exchange. Earnings will depend on how people choose to play the game (and how they play the markets). 2.) The in-game currency will be pegged to HYPER and GP in some way, and HYPER and GP can be deposited and withdrawn from the game as players wish, withdrawing or depositing credits into their account. Option 2 gives us more control over the economy, but option 1 appeals to me more as I want to see how the simulation pans out in a more in-depth way, and it will be more exciting for players too. Whichever option is used in the final game, Star System ownership in Federation Space will be represented by ownership of a unique blockchain asset. Owning a planet in Federation Space where it is immune from attack will give players a nice income stream (and a safe base of operations) for as long as they decide to maintain ownership of the System, but they will also be able to sell the Star System whenever they choose. |

It will be easy to modify these in Crypto Galaxies, but it is more likely those values will be kept constant, as the game will have a very, very long progression in economy, technology and upgrades. When people trade their resources and currencies on the decentralized exchange for HYPER and GP, this should be set by supply and demand and so be self correcting. |

Looks like the final game may have a Galaxy that keeps expanding (just like the real Universe).
Also, a long time HYPER supporter has let me know of a very interesting platform we can use for the blockchain assets for the star systems, and the decentralized trading of currencies, star systems and resources against HYPER and GP.

Dragon Knights of Valeria, http://dknight2.com, is reaching its 1 year anniversary next month on the 6th. HYPER has been a big part in the games progression with promotion and bringing in new players, a big thanks to the HYPER team and we hope to see it continue onward for years to come! Thank you for making such an awesome game, it has been a real pleasure playing it (i have been coming back and having a look at what has changed every once in a while, so nice to see constant changes and updates). HYPER and DK both benefit each other, making each other more popular, a really nice partnership. Looks like its time to go and play a bit again  see what new has come and to see if im still a VIP It's been our pleasure I look forward to seeing both HYPER and DK grow together into the future |

While i was looking at that screenshot and couldn't remember where i've seen it before. And now it pops out of my mind, this is near like Hyperwars right? You can consider the above screenshot as already outdated Based on a similar engine. However, you can see that I am looking at adding much more code, the game will be very different to HYPERwars in many respects. I will try and post more screenshots soon of the actual codebase I am working with now as soon as I can. Here is some more info I posted about it the other day: For fairness and to help balance game mechanics I think people who purchase premium System's in Federation Space (immune from attack) can only ever have 1 planet in their system, so they not get too much of an unfair advantage in the game. It just means they have one homeworld that is safe in Federation space. Systems in Uncharted Space will be able to have up to 5 planets.
I am still playing around with all the parameters to see what will work best when we launch (when we open for beta testing that will help too).
I will update the OP soon with a full list of features.
At the moment I am looking at adding:
- Casino space stations where people can gamble their hard earned Federation credits (maybe with possibility for players to purchase and invest in owning their own space station casino!
- Unique alien artifacts players can discover and trade
- Adding more resources
- Adding more ship classes (different types of ships with more strengths and weaknesses)
- Ability for players to own as many "mothership" style ships as they would like, as well as potentially millions of fighters that can be used for System patrolling / defence or harassing enemies in non-Federation space
- 3D Galaxy Map
- Making the UI a lot more pretty
- Exploring the code in more depth
Hopefully, if all goes well I will have a much nicer development screenshot to post later today. I need to check a few things with some new code I am working with at the moment. If everything checks out, I will be able to confirm the above features as well.
Will post a list of confirmed game features as soon as I can (the above features are purely in development / speculation phase until I can see if it will be feasible).
EDIT: I just saw your edit above crazyjack. Don't worry Crypto Galaxies will come with full documentation, very detailed wiki, and strategy guides |

Thanks for the suggestion Varvarin. I will definitely keep them in mind for audio assets if we need any. JT has also offered to do epic voiceovers (thanks JT!). At this stage I want to keep the game light on bandwith use for both the server and the players, so there may not be much sound at all. But a video introducing Crypto Galaxies before it launches might be pretty awesome. Can you do like an app that's downloaded when you visit the site (I'm thinking like Runescape), with the sound part of that? Then just call those files as needed. Browser based without download is good as then it will work on all platforms including mobiles / Android tablets / iPads and iPhones etc. Plus people can be wary about downloading apps for anything crypto related. It's an interesting idea though I'll keep it in mind. My current focus is tweaking the game mechanics to make sure the game is balanced and will run forever and the economics works and is sustainable (this is very complex), improving the UI, and integrating this new code that adds many awesome features I mentioned in a previous post. Later in development I will see about your idea. |

No, shapeshift is only for HYPER <> NXT The transaction link would look like this HYPER <-------shapeshift.io------> NXT <--------NXT internal api call--------> nxtHYPER For internal NXT api calls you need to have the NXT blockchain on your PC. And consult some of the NXT developers about this, I`m not a very tech person: https://nxtforum.org/nxt-helpdesk/That is what I meant in my edit, but I probably didn't explain it clearly enough like you did. Thanks for all your help definitely some food for thought here. |

Is there a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange application that is currently functioning on ETH that has a UI and is relatively easy to use? I am considering using ETH for the blockchains of our currencies in our new space MMO: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1374470But I need to know if the currencies can be traded for other currencies on an ETH dapp before doing so. That's probably some time away, but you could check out https://shapeshift.io/It's not running on eth or decentralized, but it is fairly plug and play. Thanks for the info, yes Shapeshift is good (HYPER is listed there) but it wouldn't work with other currencies that are not currently on ShapeShift? Or is that possible to use their API with currencies that are not on ShapeShift, and am I missing something that would be amazing? Ok, sry. I misread your post there. That wouldn't work. That's OK. ETH is on Shapeshift though. Is there a dapp for converting ETH to other user created blockchains on the ETH network? Then it could work. |

Thanks for all the info. Are there any gateways out there that will automate the exchange for users between "real" HYPER and nxtHYPER?
Now it's getting complicated I know ha ha. But I can see how this all fits together and maybe work.
I would need help with the API though, and how to set it all up so it is seamless for players of our MMO to trade their in-game currencies (based on Monetary System) with nxtHYPER and also if we did do it, we would create nxtGP as well.
https://shapeshift.io/#You are lucky becaue they just accept HYPER, and you can use their api calls to process this transaction. https://shapeshift.io/apiI know I am HYPER's head dev So the ShapeShift API allows shapeshifting between HYPER and any Nxt Monetary System currency as well as just Nxt? I didn't even know that. I thought it could only ShapeShift to Nxt itself. EDIT: oh of course I see, so it Shapeshifts HYPER to Nxt and then the Nxt API "shapeshifts" the Nxt into NxtHYPER. Is that correct? |

The API sounds interesting way to do it.
But would it be a free market with users setting the exchange rate each time?
Of course, it's demand and supply, if people start to buy nxtHYPER, it's price will go up. However since its a representation of HYPER, you might want to peg it to HYPER's real value, otherwise it would be a speculative crap. Instead of burning the HYPER, you should buy NXT with it, and use that money to maintain the peg to NXT<>HYPER exchange rate. That is the only transparent way to do it. And anything else will be set by the supply & demand market. Of course there may be minor slippages of price, but thats inevitable. The same way as superBTC is an NXT token pegged to BTC price ,representing BTC in NXT platform. Thanks for all the info. Are there any gateways out there that will automate the exchange for users between "real" HYPER and nxtHYPER? Now it's getting complicated I know ha ha.

Does the NXT AE or Monetary System support exchanging between the different Monetary System currencies themselves on Nxt? For example, if I burn some HYPER over to Nxt (and then have some HYPER on Nxt with the Monetary System), and then make some currencies for my MMO ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1374470) will the Monetary System HYPER on Nxt be tradeable with the other MMO currencies I make with Monetary System on Nxt? I have looked over the wiki but couldn't find an answer. Please let me know! If it is not possible would someone be willing to work with me to fork Nxt? (This is mainly to use for HYPER and my MMO, not to be a direct competitor with Nxt). The Monetary system currencies can only be traded for NXT. But you can create for example nxtHYPER, and nxtHYPER2, and then trade eachother via NXT as the middleman currency. In the future they could be traded directly without NXT as a middleman, but currency only via NXT. But you can create an API easily to make this process automated. nxtHYPER -> nxt -> nxtHYPER2 It only needs an api call and it can be automated. And then if you want to switch it back for example nxtHYPER -> NXT -> HYPER, where the NXT->HYPER transaction can be done via an exchange API call. Everything is possible with NXT. The API sounds interesting way to do it. But would it be a free market with users setting the exchange rate each time? EDIT: please let me know, Using NXT as middleman currency is an interesting idea. |

Hyper, sounds fun. Watching You mention gambling Federation credits, are you using that as a general term or do you plan on using the scifi crypto with that name? Thanks for your interest I should have some more big news on development over the weekend. Oh I didn't realize there was already a currency with that name. The currency in Crypto Galaxies will have a different name to any existing cryptocurrencies. It's still early stages in planning how the currencies blockchains will work (or perhaps they will all be tradeable for HYPER and GP only), thanks for letting me know. |
