Hmm well there are slot machines somewhere in Crossfire RPG, I have not tried them nor checked their code to see what kinds of odds they provide; and in CoffeeMUD there is a script for making a poker dealer which presumably implements a poker game of player or players versus dealer, but I do not recall seeing it in use so it might not ever have worked for all I know. But actual "gambling" can be a "hot button" possibly best avoided so never really dug into either of those options.
In CoffeeMUD though there is an entire crafting system and that is what I set it up to aim for rather than the usual or even expected running around killing monsters for loot. After all, who has so much loot they feel like just giving it away to passing adventurers?
Characters in CoffeeMUD are so productive in fact, even with simple things like foraging, woodchopping, mining and gemdigging, that just giving accounts away would be an ever-growing hole in the economy; so far we have been playtesting with an eye toward figuring out about how much stuff a top-level character can rake in in a real year in order to figure a reasonable yearly fee per account aimed at letting those who make full use of the entire year can profit from those who don't stick with it and give up before breaking even.
Meanwhile the accounts the players have are financed by their nation, clan, guild. society, association or suchlike: the group they are part of that is already active on a larger scale.
There are less crafting / gathering type things in Crossfire RPG but there are some, and more maps focussed on such things can be made, but the main question with those would be who is going to "foot the bill" of keeping them stocked? So far players do not seem to be "milking the system" a lot so the Crossfire RPG "rabbithole" into the Milieu is still open at no charge for folks to join, but a person could for example simply keep creating a character, dropping its starting gear, and deleting the character, over and over and over again. piling up lots of loot then send another character for it or create another new character and cart all the stuff off to a pawnshop to sell it. A bunch of people going hard at that might be able to become a sufficient hole in the economy to force us to close even that last free rabbit-hole though I suppose we could first try reducing the starting equipment or making more of it be "gifts of the gods" that vanish back to the gods when you drop it or give it or try to sell it.
Economic considerations along such lines were always a major part of the point of having nations, clans, guilds and such, "groups" in general, so that players already in the game would finance bringing in new players by recruiting potential players into their "groups".
So basically right now one hangs out in Crossfire RPG making friends and hoping a friend will finance one into farther levels of play or show one how to do well enough by oneself in Crossfire to bootstrap oneself farther.
But one thing I learned from watching the Cryptocurrency industry is that a lot of "players" are happy to just "play" the currency / asset markets without feeling any need nor desire to be playing some character on some world somewhere walking potentially dangerous streets to reach a market, bank or stock exchange at which the character would be doing such trading; pure abstract trading where you just go to a website and trade seems quite engrossing enough for a lot of people without necessarily even caring what planet the things they are trading are on and without even any "rail baron" type layer involving actually transporting the traded stuff from place to place, it is just traded right where it is in effect then the profits taken home to the non-game world. So just having lots of things to trade at lots of different prices with lots of different interactions behind the scenes (from the perspective of the players just trading on web based exchanges) affecting the relative prices is probably quite game enough for some demographics.
Heck there are entire styles / strategies of play that do not even really show much interest in background details at all, they just play the changes in price without particularly caring, it often seems, why those changes happen. ("Technical analysis" for instance maybe if I understand such terms correctly?)
If you know of free open source online game code that would be suitable to deploy I'd love to hear of it and check it out. I have looked at a LOT of free open source online games and am still looking.

That's awesome! One thing to look into though: It shows 2020-06-12 00:45 Paymium 25da19 + 62.0 (Days) But then it shows expiration as 2020-07-06 (in 23.7 days) This doesn't make sense... clearly shows you added 62 days so I don't understand why it's claiming it expires in 1/3 of that time.

Because at the time of payment, the validity period expired another 38 days ago, apparently it was simply not turned off all this time.

Is there a possibility that one day I will find Devcoin among the best? Optimism can be considered a fuel for great actions.The community is alive and with experienced people. I would not be surprised if new moments were installed here. Following with enthusiasm...

Hey everybody, Just to let you know that @Qtera and me teamed up to build the Devcoin wallet for Windows 32bit and 64bit. We need help with both, compiling and testing the binaries. The build is cross-compiled on Ubuntu 18.04 (and Linuxmint 19.3). If you are willing to help please use the following links: - Cross-compile Windows wallet from Linux https://github.com/devcoin/core/issues/80- Test Windows wallet https://github.com/devcoin/core/issues/85Go go Devcoin! - develCuy

Hey there! We have been waiting for the STEEM/HIVE situation to settle for some time but I still did some work to explore investment opportunities for the Devcoin Foundation (DF). As a reminder, we have the DevSTEEM project receiving ongoing shares since round 83 (25 rounds or ~2 years). Let's see what we have so far: DevSTEEM assetsWe have two @devcoin and @devtome accounts owned by the DF and the cooperation of @dropahead in both STEEM and HIVE. In other words, we have 6 accounts to help us raise funds. DF's STEEM & HIVE accounts have a net worth of $380 USD as of today May 25th, 2020. There are other kind of assets. The 6 accounts sum up ~6500 followers and dropahead is contributing 400 subscribers that can trigger 20k STEEM POWER and 20k HIVE POWER of upvotes. This time the numbers seem bigger but they can only generate up to $0.30 USD per post and we can only have dropahead help about 1 or 2 times per day. Building up Devcoin buy side in the marketsAt end of day, the DF should buy Devcoins in the markets (whether via Stellar tokens or Freiexchange). So we still have the opportunity to generate income for the DF. What can we do as a community? Collaborating with the DF by writing!There is a functionality in steempeak.com (STEEM) and peakd.com (HIVE) that allows to split generated earnings from a post or comment. The button: "Add benefiaries" brings a pop up where one can type the username: devcoin and hit the + button to set the % to contribute. The deal is that @dropahead will release a generous amount of upvotes to posts/comments with "devcoin" as beneficiary, as long as the share is 50% or more for @devcoin. I'll setup some automation for this process but we should start somewhere, so you claim your free upvotes here: https://discord.io/devcoin. I recommend you to add the tag "devcoin" to your posts so that we can find it faster. As an example, I'm posting this same writing to my personal STEEM & HIVE accounts (find me as @develcuy). "Community" feature in STEEM & HIVESomeone said somewhere: "If I only would get paid a cent for every forum post of my own..." OK you can now make it for real. STEEM & HIVE have a "community" feature, that works similar to forums, with the added functionality of content curation and monetization. I kindly invite you there to continue our discussions about Devcoin: https://peakd.com/c/hive-152825/https://steempeak.com/c/hive-152825/Go go Devcoin! - develCuy Cross-posted to STEEM: https://steempeak.com/hive-152825/@develcuy/building-up-devcoin-buy-side-with-our-steem-hive-power-as-a-communityCross-posted to HIVE: https://peakd.com/hive-152825/@develcuy/building-up-devcoin-buy-side-with-our-steem-hive-power-as-a-community

I didn't see this coin on CMC, what the heck for the coin who are develop since 2013 are now faded away and forgotten, in a first look I just thought that it was a Deviant coin, i know this coin because i bought in the first appearance in the market. I wish this coin will recover and circulate again in the market.

Does this mean DVC now has a cap of 100m and existing coins should be burned, or how does it work in terms of getting our existing tokens on to the Stellar network?

DevCoin has a cap way higher than 100m.How could existing coins be burned when some people own hundreds of millions of DevCoins?Would that not in effect be theft and a criminal offence? Excuse my ignorance on the matter but can you please elaborate?
