I think the ebay sniper technique would be better on crypto rush.

I'm sure it will end in the number one spot, but does cryptorush realise implementing XCP is not the same as implementing, for example litecoin?

Definitely in the lead if someone who's BTC rich wants to blast votes at zero hour that'd be cool

Price is back @ ~0.01 very cool

so i got bored over the weekend and went on odesk and paid a little change to have someone make a banner for one of the reddit pages

this is not the final since he misunderstood the directions and made the candies way too small and a few other errors...  the role of this imagery is to encourage people who are game designers and not finance oriented people. i'm sure the other reddits will have that all covered for you traders.

Hey it's cute. I like it.

Do you plan to use it as part of a campaign?

i'm going to put it on the counterparty reddit  for now (well the new version when it is finished, it was supposed to read XCP not X, and the candies that you can barely see are supposed to be a lot bigger), then when i get a chance do a bounty for someone to write a game that uses assets

haven't figured out yet what the game would be or how it would work though

coincidentally my idea around using assets that can float between games i should credit to an old patent i read many years ago that has surely expired.  it was written by Trip Hawkins (CEO of 3d0 and founder of EA).  the patent was basically about game character dna that you could take from one game to another, so your items would be useful in many games.  i had the pleasure to meet Trip many years ago and that idea has always stuck with me as futuristic and cool

That's an idea that has me really thinking.

Let's say we could have some sort of hierarchical way of organising user created assets. For argument sake: asset "RPG1" is issued by yourself. You should only be able to issue further assets under RPG1. However, under RPG1 you could be free to issue as many sub assets as you feel fit. Almost like subreddits. Eg RPG1.gold, RPG1.silver, RPG1.ruby.cracked, RPG1.longsword. Where RPG1 is your game.

If the above mentioned assets could find themselves onto an exchange, you would be able exchange RPG1.longsword = RPG2.shortswords. Where RPG2 is from a different game.

One way of controlling the sale of such game assets would be to have an auction house that is basically a view onto the DEX.

Even better, those assets could be traded for 'real' BTC...

The way to gain adoption is to have the respective APIs available that game developers could easily use...

Does it have to be a game?

How about a vitual 3D community where i can walk down a virtual high st, and go into a virtual store that has actually been setup to sell real stuff, with the protocol being used as the backend of transactions.
How about, after ive chatted with the silver bullion store owner and maybe bought or sold something, i leave the store and walk down to Satoshi Sq where the exchange building sits. Maybe i need to exchange some alts, because on the way i was chatting to the news-stand guy (he asks for tips for breaking news), and he seems to think that AcmeCoin is due for a pump. I leave the exchange after getting my AcmeCoin, and notice a new games arcade has just opened up opposite the casino....... you get the picture.

Surely just a natural progression, using new decentralised technology/merchant systems, no?

I worked for Electric Communities back in the day. We had OnLive Traveler (3d voice worlds) and ThePalace (2d chat) back then. Our group consulted to 2nd Life early in their life. So I am all too familiar with this.

Which is why I think starting with simple phone/tablet based games and then moving to augmented reality games can be killer.

Imagine you walk to a black door in the real world wearing something cooler than google glass, you say a secret phrase to yourself, wave your hand, and the door opens to a casino or a night club. The bartender already has your drink.

Counterpoint members get occupied with short term value? Better make the coin to something great and forget about short term.
On Crypto Rush I expect most clients will have no idea what Counterparty is. On such exchanges the value is in the hands of wolfs, whales and short term Pumpers-Dumpers.  
Learn from Mastercoin and Angelshares. They include all innovations from competitors. They introduce the developers.

WHO ARE THE DEVELOPERS OF COUNTERPOINT?

TO KNOW THEM COULD STRONGLY CONTRIBUTE TO GOOD PR AND TRANSPARENCY

I don't think it matters, the code matters and what people use it for (bad or good).  And may I point out that Mastercoin does have anonymous developers as well.

Hi, I want to ask again, It's no problem to win. But are site owners understanding of what exactly XCP is and how to implement it?

I'd assume they'd send back all the vote money if they were unable to implement the exchange API

I voted. Hope they add XCP/BTC. Someone should guide cryptorush how to XCP

poloniex is down again?

The site is never stable. Its very frustrating. Can't wait till we get on another exchange.

Petrodollar sending BTCs to vote

[halfcab123]

I'm going to push 40,000 votes at the end at least personally, someone in the thread gave good advice to use eBay bidding strategy, wait to the last few minutes. Just gotta make sure that we don't want too long, because the bitcoins have to be confirmed from what I've seen, which means, we shouldn't wait longer than.. 15 min til its over or maybe 20 min at the least
