Actually, ideas should have merit, and being helped up or held down by a name, goes to the old world system.

Three market questions: What gives us the highest book value, what gives us the most liquidity, and what gives us the largest growth going into the future?

Ck to my mind, is a way for cc investors to swap devolving assets for cash in the form of XMR, if they want to hold and trade game assets, they should be given every opportunity, but it should be our job to make sure that CK remains slightly ahead of XMR as a means of profit--there must be proven companies in the network to create surplus value in the form of entertainment and service--without these, XMR rises and we sink.

PGC is a prime example of what we need, if we can attach CON pairs of devaluing assets to gambling, while keeping it within the confines of video game regulation, that's a gold-mine.

Another thought would be to attach quests with actual crowd funding--my earlier post about the search for The Book of Thoth could be an actual crowd sourcing for an achelaogical dig in Cairo--money may make the game intense, but reality makes it real.

Counties should be incentivized with franchise markets, such as exclusive rights that can be passed on to further land dispersals, via open source platforms. This is a franchise and all revenue sources should be shared and creative compettion should create augmentation and lasting appeal through DIY commerce.

I think this basic agenda fufils free market obligations by leveraging libertarian ideals into the reality of changing regulations.

If Z-cash is used, then it has a fundamental value. Z-cash has some identity issues to deal with via the corporate seal of approval (is it the ripple of anonymous coins?) but like ripple, it probably will have some initial success, and if it can prove that it offers legitimate improvements for privacy it will get real-use--the issue of coin supply will always overhang it (I imagine), but it doesn't need to be a value store for most users.

Search for The Book of Thoth

Prince Crichton decided to take the Summer to find an a ancient manuscript he had heard about from traders traveling up the Southern roads from a vast desert known in its tribal tongue as Akh-Bar', he heard strange tails of Red Winds so potent that Great Kings would march armies against it, and magic so ancient that it survived the decimation of Egypt and still conquered men's souls. It was from that great history that Crichton heard of The Book of Thoth.



It is said that when the local winds
speak the ancient symbols of Thoth
our souls anneal to natural Fin
that nature endears herself
and man's consciousness inspects
unfolds as dew drops in rivers unfurled
her story told as rippling rivulets
gather more ethereal dispersal
unending in universal caveat
that speaks the Land's reversal
whispering it's unwise to package
in the clucks and clicks Eternal
the mood of a single day
for in time, we must pay

Crichton could not bear to let such Magic go wasted in the sands of time and set out to find The Book.

Can't we just convert everything to S-HODL and have a buy back or smelting program for gold items? I think maintaining the liquidity that one asset gives you lessens the burden on government procedures and increases the overall value of the game.

@Smooth, please chime in as I think S-HOLD's ratio will be of interest here.

Personally, I'd like to see some land thrown in here as well, to provide a mechanism for land swaps, but that's because I own a lot--so there's your caveat--though this might be a good time to hammer out separation of powers--I'm American this is what I'm used to ( I believe a populace should be armed and have TPTB in a constant state of fight, consider, and compromise). CAN as an equity item may also be an interesting consideration.

@YM, ATM I have no objection to your proposal, but want to hear more and know all the details as it effects governance.

@ArticMie, all the numbers make this tricky to read, my main concern would be getting the ratio right, and making sure no one was left out as far as the power distribution. Also, what specifically motivates CK holders to dilute their power in the near to mid-term (long term is fine).

That's because it was vetted by cryptographers, the same cryptographers who broke SDC. I know SDC thinks that's in the past, but until they have the cryptographers to vouch for their security, it's a black hole. And I know this last point is going to get some attack the attacker response, so I'll go to my final point, has SDC been vetted since the successful attack and who are the experts who have vouched for any improvements (if they happened)?

How much would you be willing to wager on it? If I say Monero and you say dash (or insert another coin)?

Guess sockpuppets don't gamble....

I won't be selling--other than my cursed sword and country club, those are my most cherished investment.

I was pretty much a noob when those purchases were made, so I likely hadn't read the endless posts detailing complicated finance schemes, and did not even know of a tax (let alone a permanent tax that would not adjust to XMR pricing--I'd be stupid to buy with that knowledge). So when you say it's good for the game long term, are you accounting for new investor sentiment as people realize the games motto is, "Buyer beware of Risto's convoluted rules and use of town force." I'm pretty sure that is not good for the game long term.

Was waiting for more details before deciding--not about the auction, but if you would participate yourself.


What are the details on this? I'm concerned as 2/3rds of my land is in Borough 9 and that would be gutting me of a large portion of my invested time and money, or forcing me to pay a substantial burden tax if it is not adjusted to account for XMR's rise in price.

Where do I find more about CKIP?

Here's my condensed explanation of the beast/creature/pet company:

Firstly, it's a weapons design factory, you are using various traits: speed, flight, size, swimming, weapon-system (fangs, fire, tusks, ect), to create unique weapons for counties, the counties would benefit by having unique fighting capabilities to reflect their owner, while the town would benefit by having a more motivated and varying strategy capability in case of invasion and so on.

Secondly, it adds motivation to players to play regularly (take care or exercise pets or create new ones), to explore other counties to find that they might want, a stream of revenue from the point of county contract to buying of supplies for the creation and maintenance of their pets, and to actively participate in the defense capability of the county of residence, or to help other counties in need.
 
Thirdly, it adds a little home and littler reality to your VR experience, we have money to make the game real, but without a population to nurture and fight and be general PITAs through and through, how will we ever get to the level of realism that people cling to--you need a hook, something for people to care about..

It's called vetting, and no it's not the bad guy in this little play; you get 1984 when you don't mercilessly analyze systems for flaws--or claims that aren't in line with reality. 

I've heard good things about Dark Flarb.

Aeon plans to continue in the mold of Monero with a lower data footprint allowing for transactions on more mobile devices, you can draw your own conclusions on how long dash has in the top ten. The question hinges on how far one falls and the other rises.

Dude, the adoption problem is a strawman, "We can't get a majority of the people, therefore privacy is useless ." It's not that simple, as I told you before, there is an estimated trillion dollars+ in untaxed income, so yeah, Monero can help maintain that--unless you think it's a good idea for those who are smart enough to dumb themselves down and hand their money to the state for inspection--

What? Was "I'm rubber, you're glue..." too obvious for you to use.

How does endorsing a tool to help you escape the watchful eye of the state, make anyone a communist? You seem confused. Commies want so much control that they can tell you where to work, and financial controls help them get (and maintain) that type of control.

I think people have always been manipulated and that they always will, so we need to develop tools to help them not be manacled too.
