Next up: the pizza worth $1,000,000.

Didn't know this game was already out!

I too am curious

Didn't that evolve into Google+?  I got into the beta of Wave; I can't remember for the life of me what it was supposed to do.

Have you ever been scammed?  And did you get angry, or did you chalk it up as experience?

They're already experimenting with it   As long as it's left unhindered, it will flourish.  But Obama has already stated he wants to regulate it to death.  So who knows.

The sun rising over a popular Japanese mountain?  On a Japanese website?

How strange!  That's almost as weird as American mixed with red, white and blue and bald eagles.

Also, is this kid dense?  He's recommending doing more research on Bitcoin, and has done about 5 minutes worth of glancing over Bitcoin info himself.  And from a Facebook account   What a fucking tool.

Distraction. Why don't they talk about getting rid of this horse shit two-party system? That would be news. This is just the same old thing, and literally means nothing. The banks have already done the damage.

This kid is a confirmed troll. Take everything it says with a heavy dose of skepticism.

What kind of crazy world would we live in if children were raised like they were people?

I've considered this as well. If there is a tax in any given society, the very least we could do is have control over what goes where. It's a tax when we all chip in to make our lives better. It's robbery when it gets sucked into war and social security and government paychecks. Though I do believe a no-taxation system is plausible and preferable (nay sayers are the free loaders to begin with as they attest nobody will voluntarily invest in their own surroundings--the average mindset of one who would only pay their taxes if they had to, and would only clean their home if their mother/wife threatened to make life hell) a system where taxes are reimbursed to the public in the form of notes which pay for the services they choose to use would still be leagues better than allowing the guy getting the tax money to pass tax law. Of course he's going to pay himself, and he's going to route that money wherever he's pressured to. Long story short, it's not for us.

I'd say that's more of a side project to a person's big goal; just as a pedophile might dream of being an astronaut.  The pedophilia is just an unfortunate part of him.  Then again, if a man's ultimate desire is to be accepted as he is, there would be an interesting conflict for the rapists and the pedophiles.  I know a rapist can satiate his desire with make-believe, as people who want to be raped (a contradiction as I see it but I can't vouch for them) can also fulfill this desire.  But a rapist who wants the real thing is never going to get what he wants without a hitch, lest he do so without witness.  So I wonder, do some people desire to rape, or is it an act of desperation for being at a disconnect with those around them?  Imagining a better society than we currently have, where people would find it easier to develop relationships with one another, would we also see a decline in rape?

This.

True, but their 10 BTC back then wouldn't have been worth quite as much   A few months ago, it would've been quite a sum.  Today, you really gotta want it!

The miners receive both transaction fees and receive newly minted coins; once all coins are minted (sometime long after we're dead), they'll be paid only in transaction fees.  The question is, how many miners are required to strap the system down?  Hopefully it matches up well with how many people will be using Bitcoin by the time the last coin is minted.

Ahh, so you know 100% what you're talking about   Wonderful!  I'll definitely take your advice, then, and continue learning in Python--might give Java a shot, but I keep hearing that it's an inefficient language (since it's like a VM,) and to go with C++...  But as long as I'm sticking with indie games for the moment, I don't think it'll be too big of an issue, right?  I don't plan to focus on coding in the long run, as I'd much rather be on the artistic side of things, solving creative problems, not writing out algorithms, but at the same time, I hear it's good for a game dev to know core coding practices so he can understand his programmers and how everything needs to be done.


Sorry OP!  Didn't mean to hijack.  I believe the philosophy behind coding goes this way: understanding code is great, and you should be good with it, but in the end, it matters most what you do with it.  It's like writing; you can have beautiful prose, and masterful technique, but it don't matter if you never put it to work!

Post 666 ahhh!

But yeah I'm just repeating what I hear, AFAIK C++ is supposed to be the most common in the industry.  At the moment I'm trying to wrap my head around my first language, Python, and then plan to jump into C++.  But to be fair, I still don't know what I'm doing, and I've yet to find anyone who can code and has a passion for video games   What do you mean exactly by platform?  You're referring to consoles, handhelds, or PCs, right?

By the way OP, how do you plan on spending the BTC?  Have you made plans to move elsewhere yet?

Depends on what you wanna do...  I'm a novice coder so I don't know nothing!  But I want to get into game design, and I've been told C++ is the key to that.

On the other hand, I hear it's great to be good at everything, to know many languages, and be able to solve most any problem.  PHP is supposed to be the most popular language today (I think?) and that'll land you plenty of work.
