[Travis9x]

Falcon let me know if you want to make a HYPER trading site like eBay for HYPER. This is desperately needed and I think you would be perfect to manage this project.

I am also happy to hear ideas about how HYPER can sponsor more game servers that use the currency in different ways. Also we do need to have HYPER trading for other in-game tokens and assets. We can do this on a HYPER for eBay that you might set up Falcon. We could also do this on a decentralized exchange like Counterparty so there are lots of options! EDIT: for now people can also trade ANYTHING for HYPER on Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/HyperTrades So if anyone has anything they want to sell for HYPER they should post it there! Also ANY steam game can be bought 15% off at Falcon's awesome http://hyperbundle.com site.

Yes, I think a site like eBay would be great! It's a natural fit to what we want down the line. My only worry is this: what if eBay begins to accept cryptocurrency? I also see other eBay-like clones that people have started, but there's nearly not enough traffic at those sites. Anyway, I do think creating this would be a big but very rewarding project for HYPER!

As for ideas, source games like CS:GO have the ability to create custom servers with lots of different customization. I see a good use-case of HYPER within servers with zombie survival or jailbreak mods. Also, Garry's Mod has a lot of opportunities, too. I think what Falcon is noticing is what many of us feel as well. As the person who created hypergg.com, I also think there are not enough players playing on these servers.

Most gamers don't know a thing about cryptocurrency, so we also have the problem of people not knowing or trusting cryptocurrency in the first place. Second, personally I think a faucet-like server is good to have but doesn't do much in terms of inspiring community-building. Community is such an important part of gaming and making HYPER succeed. Third, tournaments are good only when there's a large community that is excited and pumped about the tournaments taking place. Perhaps, people can take the initiative to promote HYPER and the tournaments within the real gaming community. Friends usually follow and trust their friends, so as soon as people who are not part of the bitcointalk community join the HYPER movement, more and more people would start to take notice. I also think part of problem with HYPER is that people don't know what it is or how to implement it in their servers. Also, the web wallet would be helpful for many gamers, so both the game server plugins and web wallet are something we are working on right now! Ideas are ideas until they come to fruition, and the HYPER community is working hard to make that happen. It's only a matter of time and resources. As get past this stage, I think we would have very different conversations.   hopefully haha.

Another thing that I am slightly worried about is outsourcing work to devs who may not necessarily care about HYPER. We can wait for people to join in or we can actively promote it within the forums. One thing that I see is that not enough people are promoting HYPER outside of this thread. A post here and there within other threads and even forums outside of HYPER could work wonders! Oh and one other thing, it's worrisome for me when the main website hasn't been updated in the past couple of months (or an year maybe?)! heh.

I think it's awesome that we can have these conversations. It means we really care about HYPER's future, and we should deal with these issues as soon as we can. Acknowledging and addressing problems is such an important step for growth!

On another note, HYPERfuture, I think we need a testnet for HYPER, so people can more easily run tests for HYPER transactions.  

Wow, I love seeing all these ideas being discussed!  In all honesty, I'd been looking for a coin that I can really focus my cryptocurrency energies on, and HYPER is definitely it.  Falcon, as HYPERfuture already said, the store for trading virtually anything for HYPER is sorely needed, and would be an amazing addition if you'd like to start it.  As a tip on that subject, Newegg already accepts Bitcoin, so I think it would be easy to begin trading HYPER for items sold there (and Newegg happens to focus on computer hardware & technology, so perfect inventory for gamers).
As for the use and earning of HYPER on the game servers, you guys gave me an idea...not sure why I didn't think of it before.  You're absolutely right that tournaments really only work once the server already has a somewhat large player base, and right now more players is what we need.  I've already been trying to improve that front on the StarMade server (since it seems to attract random players who've never heard of HYPER), by including info on the login server message, and a link to this thread.  However, there still aren't enough regularly active players to begin hosting tournaments (yet), and I have yet to find a way to truly integrate HYPER into the server (sent a message to the StarMade dev, but haven't heard back yet, and my own research into the subject hasn't found anything yet either...that's a lot of "yet", lol).  But, a good way to begin getting HYPER used on the server is to implement a way to spend HYPER for in-game stuff.  I think I can set up a thread on the HYPER forum, to allow people to set up trades in-game, where they can spend HYPER to receive resources or credits.  I would have to work the transactions manually, but it can certainly be done, and the incentive is certainly there, as starting out in the game can be very laborsome, so an infusion of resources or credits can be very helpful early-game.
I'm going to be very busy over the next several days (moving to a new house), but I'll try to get the system set up as soon as I can!

I really like the idea of ​​decentralized exchange. Just please do not use CounterParty for these purposes.
ClearingHouse is much better suited for this purpose.
Firstly, CounterParty operates on Bitcoin blockchain, and everyone knows about the speed of the transactions in the Bitcoin network. ClearingHouse operates on ViaCoin blockchain, and there is a transactions within 1 second.
Secondly, the transaction fees in ClearingHouse network is tens or more times less than fees on the CounterParty network, which is very important when users will trade.

We're currently developing plugins that can be used within game servers for server admins to easily incorporate HYPER for whatever they need to do (and also provide functionality for the players themselves).   Ideally, people should be able to use and send HYPER directly within the server, and admins could set up automated rules to distribute HYPER rewards. It should be integrated within the game itself. Currently, it seems all the server owners have to manually do the transactions themselves. The only issue with game server plugins is that they are usually specific to a particular game. The good part is that there are games that use the same engine. For example, CS:GO, TF2, GMod, and DoTA use the Source engine, so adapting a plugin for each of those games is a lot simpler than creating a completely new one that could just work for one game. To help alleviate this issue, an API is in the works. Both the plugins and API will link with the web wallet that is currently being developed.

Creating a marketplace is really hard work. haha. I would recommend pushing for HYPER integration on existing platforms. OpenBazaar is one of those projects that is pretty exciting, but it's still very early-stage and hasn't been completed yet. Also, a marketplace is a lot different than Hyperbundle. It's going to take a lot of dedication and time to build. If there is a github repository, I would be happy to contribute where I can, although I have lots of other things to juggle atm.

As for the decentralized exchange, I think we have something in NXT Asset Exchange, but I don't think that is going very well last I checked. ClearingHouse looks interesting.

another shitcoin created by the biggest shit bag scam artist weiner   

btw who is the dev? (so hard to keep track around here).

and is this the same hyper I lost to sharex?

The dev who started the coin is HYPERfuture. "weiner" is not associated in any way with HYPER in terms of development. It is a completely unbacked FUD. I never heard about sharex until now. Now that I'm browsing back, looks like sharex has been shut down. I don't think we would know whether you lost HYPER or not to sharex. ahaha  

[Falcon98]

Hello, We'll finish and annonce the winner of the 100$ steam code and the 500 HYPER from twitter soon!

[Falcon98]

Well, first of all you should get ready for a wall of text to read. Those are my thought about HYPER atm , but please not criticize my opinions. But you are free to prove me wrong, because I might be. But here we go! :

So first, is it just me or is there something missing for the HYPER community atm? For example, we need players on our game servers. Because everytime I watch the awesome hypergg site I see no one playing on the servers, which is sad. I feel people are just playing a little just to stay in the lead of making a few bucks in the monthly competitions. We need a network of gamers  that can play games together and have tons of fun, not just on the servers. We need something that can hit in this awesome cryptocurrency in gaming world and making them enjoy it. I think Hyper is a way to protect gamer's privacy and not let your money be stuck in steam where they can control your funds and you are not able to withdraw any of it into money you can use else where. Steam own all your games too, they are within their control. They can close your account and make your games unavailable for you. Of course you can always sell a steam item for paypal cash with a "trusted" user. but that isn't secure at all. You never know when a "trusted" community member will turn around and chargeback your well-earned money. So we need something that can make trades irreversible. A deal is a deal. HYPER! o/

And, In my opinions we don't need ways to use the currency on the game servers really. Ingame cash imo will always just have a value in the game itself. It will always be ingame cash. But you should still be able to buy ingame cash you can use ingame for game items and such, using our currency HYPER. I agree, you should be able to earn HYPER playing games. but If we keep trying to put HYPER inside the game itself, I feel people will only use this as a way earning grinding money, that isn't fun, playing alone on servers collecting HYPER you can sell for BTC? Personally I don't play games to earn money, I do it because I love it and it's fun! But earning something for your play hours is really a nice experience, its like unlocking achievements! And, the idea of monthly competitions is really nice, you are not just winning steam money (like 100$ steam wallet cash)  that you ONLY can use on steam no where else,but money you can use for whatever you want. But we should have more LIVE competitions, like HYPER tournaments. It's alot more social and it will be less lonely playing on the game servers in weekends. and the money you win feels much more real right? You own it, not steam etc. The money is within your control. we should also start communicate more with each other via IRC and voicechat. We should start building a real gaming community we love! But please guys, HYPER isn't all about making easy money. It's about using it inside the gaming world.  

Look at this page etc:

http://backpack.tf/

as you can see they use Keys, metal and earbuds as currency for buying and selling tf2 items. Also The community itself decide what the value of the items is.


And here:

http://dispenser.tf/

There is also a page where you can buy and sell steam stuff using csgo keys, tf2 keys, tf2 earbuds and bitcoin as payment method . You can also trade game for game.


We also need something like this. HYPER is perfect for this. We need a currency that gamers see value in, the best thing about cryptocurrencies is that we ourself can decide what the value of it is! You decide what and how much you are willing to pay for it! We need a simple and secure way to pay for our games and game items without giving out your entire address and name.

I must say, HYPER has come a long way and will continue his journey. There is ALOT of stuff coming to this currency which is great. I feel the potential! I also wanna say that HyperFurture is a great dev and deserves a vouch. Also the people working and supporting HYPER! GO HYPER!

Edit: I hope when I get my new computer and a better internet connection I can start streaming on twitch.tv, doing HYPER giveaways and playing games with the community! Play on the game servers etc. alsoi games like CS:GO, LoL, The Crew. Idk, there is many games to play!

(Sorry if my english is not flawless but hope you understand!)

Falcon I love your ideas! Thank you for the kind words.

My vision for the HYPER game servers was that they are also a place to SPEND HYPER as well as EARN it. So they are not just a place for earning HYPER but a place for spending HYPER too as a part of the HYPER ecosystem For sure people are welcome to make game servers and launch games that integrate HYPER in any way they like. Imagination is the only limit here and no idea is stupid which is partly why I think we have achieved so much in such a relatively short time frame.

You said a few times that we need a site where people can trade all kinds of things for HYPER. As you know I have a bounty available for this. Do you want to make a site like this and claim the bounty?

That would be awesome! As the HYPERGG nears its proper launch it will definitely help in making the HYPER game servers more populated, as more and more people will start using the http://hypergg.com and learning about HYPER that way. Meowball and his team are building a rock solid website / online gaming service revolving around HYPER from the ground up with a 100% original code base. It is an amazing project. We have to remember we are pretty much still at the beginning of HYPER as the gaming cryptocurrency (although HYPER is used in more online games than ANY other cryptocurrency to my knowledge). We have an amazing community and many amazing projects but we will look back on these days as the earliest of days. Think of Bitcoin in 2010 and this is kind of where HYPER is now. As long as we all keep working towards our goals HYPER will get there.

Thank you everyone for being a part of this.

Falcon let me know if you want to make a HYPER trading site like eBay for HYPER. This is desperately needed and I think you would be perfect to manage this project.

Im so excited for the work being done with Hypergg too! And yes Hyper is clearly in the early stages so no worries. We'll get there. We have alot going on so it's really exciting!

As Meowball said, making a trading platform like Ebay is really hard and require alot of work. First of all because the security against getting scammed. But pushing it to OpenBazaar can be a great idea! We need something that can work as a decentralized middleman that are flawless. and not full of errors. but for now we might just use someone trusted in this community. But hey, Famguyb have already started some of it, the hypertrades subreddit. great work! But later on we might get a more dedicated marketplace! But Im sure there is someone skilled enough in this community to make this a reality and take the bounty!

Will register a hyper twitch.tv channel now I can use later!

[HYPERfuture]

We have started round number 3 with another 100$ steam code! Will run for 2 weeks aswell

[kryptologist]

This is one of the few coins the crypto industry can be proud of.

[iSac54]

Anybody else have a bug with the new wallet where it says "Info: Minting suspended due to locked wallet." But it isn't actually locked and still stakes and confirms the transactions? It's not a big deal just wondering if its known.

[Travis9x]

Moving day has arrived!  StarMade server will be down temporarily while making the move.  IP/server address will definitely change, so I'll post new connection info as soon as I can.  Stay tuned!

Server is back up, new address to connect is:  24.117.174.95:4242
Still really busy with things, but I'll try to get the "premium" purchase system going soon.  Keep the HYPER progress going!
