Crazy idea but wouldn't GameCoin be the best coin for online gaming?  lol....seriously!

Just a thought.

It would be a crazy idea. I don't see any reasons why it'd be the "best coin for online gaming". You can talk about how it could be maybe. The last update I see for that coin is 2 years ago, and its website is dead.

Just noticed that Bryce the Weiner federal snitch is behind this coin doing his usual thing.  lol

Don't get caught holding the Weiner bag.  lol

And how do you know this? Even if he were, at least he's doing something, and you're not. There are many of us here working hard to make it happen for HYPER! Stop hating, and start loving. 

An update for HyperGG is coming sometime this weekend! We've made lots of progress with game server plugins and more!

Here's some screenshots from the new HYPER wallet (available at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=624651.msg9748799#msg9748799) showing some of the features:

New HYPER staking graph in the wallet:



You will most likely have English set as your default language, you can change to native language by:

Settings>options>display>language

Here's a Screenshot of new multi language feature (over 60 languages supported):



New HYPER users will default to their OS language from now on with the new multiple languages feature.

I know most of you are hungry for another HYPER news update and I'll be posting a big update soon.

Game on!

Staking is such a beautiful feature, bringing so much security to this network!

[HYPERfuture]

Time for another HYPER update:

- Someone is working on a HYPER ONLY Poker site. Rough ETA has been confirmed by the developer at two weeks away. There will be HYPER freerolls and all kinds of great HYPER Poker action going down when it launches.

- New HYPER wallet with QR Codes, Staking Graphs, supernode for faster syncing and network security, and over 60 languages is now out: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=624651.msg9748799#msg9748799

- Any steam game can be bought 15% off retail at new site http://hyperbundle.com They have currently processed 18 orders and have nothing but good feedback. You can also check their thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=874495.0 (awesome work Falcon!)

- Win up to 1000 HYPER playing Counter-Strike, CS:GO and TF2: http://hypercrypto.com/forum/index.php?topic=178.0

- New OP thread design here should be live in a few days (I have heard back from the person who is working on it and he is just making the finishing touches)

- $100 steam game code competition is still on. Only 1 day left to enter! http://hypercrypto.com/forum/index.php?topic=324.0

- Still working on some big things behind the scenes I will make the announcements when the time is right!

- As always follow HYPER on twitter http://twitter.com/hypercrypto and check the wiki for overview of all HYPER projects http://hypercrypto.com/wiki

- We have a new HYPER trading sub-reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/HyperTrades

- We have a Gary's Mod HYPER server that has now launched! More updates will be posted in the thread soon from the developer behind that project.

- The HYPER gaming gateway which meowball and his team is coding from scratch is taking shape at http://hypergg.com . You can also follow their development progress on their blog: http://hgg.meteor.com/ Soon the service will host HYPER tournaments and competitions, HYPER console gaming comps and a HYPER web wallet for anyone to easily use HYPER.

Thank you to everyone for being a part of HYPER we're building something awesome here, and most importantly game on, and stake on!

Hello all! I am the creator of the HYPER GMod server. It is quite close to being complete. As of now you can come and enjoy yourself with some basic work that has been done. We are pretty much constantly updating until it is fully complete. We are looking for suggestions and staff who would be willing to help out regularly. You can go to our website- http://hypercurrency.site.nfoservers.com/

Or you can connect with us on our Mumble server- hypercurrency.murmur.nfoservers.com:15440

To connect to the server in its current state, all you have to do is start Garry's Mod, and then press 'Find Multiplayer Game', press 'Internet', and then type in HYPER in the search bar. 'HYPER Server | WiP | Now Hiring | DarkRP' is the current name. That will be changed quite frequently. Feel free to add me on steam- http://steamcommunity.com/id/famguyb/

This is a pay and play server, that is in the process of being set up however. In order to withdrawal/deposit you will have to post your order manually on the board on hypercrypto.com. Once deposited you will get 100 in-game currency for every HYPER you deposit. That is subject to change. Withdrawing is quite similar, but every 150 in-game currency is worth 1 HYPER. That is for now, we will most likely change that multiple times.

What makes you say Bryce is behind this coin VERUM?

He is a known scammer who has ripped off a lot of people so it would not be wise to associate with him.

Hey Ignatius,

I think VERUM got that idea from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=883677.msg9746947#msg9746947. It's rather unfortunate why it's being framed as so, and how gullible some people are. I'm curious how the OP of that thread thinks so??

I have never heard of Bryce Weiner and have no idea how the poster here has formulated this theory.

Still I suppose we are doing something right if we are attracting the conspiracy nutjobs.

Most likely part of a wider FUD campaign gearing up.

Probably another "gaming" coin team trying to discredit us before they launch the real scam 

This is the first and last thing I'll say on this topic. I suppose there is FUD incoming surprising HYPER has avoided it for so long actually!

That figures. Dave discusses HYPER with Bryce here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTPJdOd5VVA

That is the only "connection" I am aware of. It would be a bit hard to be involved in any coin and not have Bryce at least mention the coins name, the guy gets around.

Aaah now it's starting to make more sense.

I didn't even know Dave did that interview. People can discuss HYPER with whoever they want, whenever they want. I'm not going to stop them.

In a strange way I'm kind of honored that HYPER is getting big enough that people are starting to waste their time on baseless conspiracy theories

[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.

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.

Also streaming on twitch.tv would be amazing. We do need someone to set up a HYPER twitch.tv channel too

another shitcoin created by the biggest shit bag scam artist weiner  

I don't even know who that is but thanks for the bump!

We're having lots of great discussion right now actually: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=624651.msg9762738#msg9762738

EDIT: As it appears we now have a troll issue I have made a new HYPER poll. In the old poll over 140 people voted, well over 50% wanted strongly to keep staking the MMO Development Fund in escrow to sponsor more HYPER projects so that is what we are doing. In regards to the new poll: shall we have a new moderated thread or shall we enjoy the bumps from the trolls? Let me know!

The Casheer Android and iOS cryptocurrency merchant App that will have HYPER integration is doing an app demo in Florida on January 16-18 at BitcoinMiami: https://twitter.com/CasheerApp/status/541441518842949632

Anyone want to go and check it out on behalf of HYPER? Anyone based in Florida or nearby? Will supply enough HYPER to cover food and drinks for the days

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.

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. 

Good ideas!

I have just added HYPER testnet to the development document I have for the HYPER coin / wallet development.

In regards to the hypercrypto.com website there is someone working on it! It was supposed to be finished by now but I have sent them very detailed instructions on how to revamp the site (as well as templates and plugins for Wordpress I purchased) and they are meant to be working on it right now! I hope I hear back from them soon I was hoping it would be done by now to be honest.

There are also giveaways on the HYPER forum where people can get paid small amounts of HYPER for posting about HYPER on other forums and websites so there is some posting going on to spread the word. There could definitely be more done but it is a start.

I'm hoping the HYPERGG will help us build a larger and stronger gaming community. HYPER is still so young I think we just have to be patient and remember Bitcoin took many years to reach the level of adoption it has now.

I think a lot more work needs to be done in promoting HYPER to gamers specifically, on gaming forums and in their communities. Especially once the HYPERGG is complete. Who wants to work on this!?

One thing I really need to do that is only about 50% complete is finish the HYPER Whitepaper. I think I will have some time to finish this off before Christmas.

Let's keep the ideas coming!

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!

I'd love a CS:GO soccer server: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePS_bcudUiI

The most populated servers are idling servers setup to grant achievements for afking, heh
