I agree that the group photo of all collective would be the best option, but all of them are in different places. I think that in the future they will make it. For example will gather in honor of tournament or celebration in honor of the project.

we dont need a group photo, this is not school  all we need is that they show people who they are... that will make (in my oppinion) better price and what is most important to others who want to invest more trust, thats all....

Hey all.  Gotta say I am loving this coin's potential and the measured prioritization of the devs.  I watched some of Crayon's test last night and wanted to post some feedback.  I had a great time watching. The betting mechanics, even in their current raw form, were entertaining and addictive.  Below are my general thoughts on the state of the coin and feelings on what is needed to take us to the moon.  I want to qualify this by saying I think the devs are doing a great job, MineralsPR is rocking the communications, and this could be something really big.  I'm not asking 'why don't we have these things' but rather sharing what I think it would be great if we did have.  So:

- The live.minerals.pro website needs to get proper design and UI love.  It looks like a slightly modified unoriginal template and the first thought when visiting is 'this looks amateurish'.  The tournament site is so slick and epic, it's a real let down to see the actual betting site in comparison.  Obviously, the devs have rightly been focusing on functionality, but I think we are getting to the point where proper branding and design are going to become critical.  This site needs to look and feel futuristic and sleek.  We're ready to invite the masses and we need to put out the good china.

- The betting is awesome, but not all that intuitive.  There should be some brief explanation on the page without having to visit other tabs.  Underneath the addresses that you send your bets it should say something like 'Send Minerals to this address to bet on _____ at _____ odds.'  The user shouldn't have to intuit what the addresses mean or leave the page for a separate tab to understand.

- The design should behave and feel like a video game.  There needs to be some graphical representation of how many minerals have been bet and some exclamatory action upon completion of a round.  Think about Halo or other video games that give some sort of pleasant sound and affirmation when something happens.  'Headshot'.  'Combo'.  'Achievement Unlocked'.  We need to feel like that.  There should be some sort of visual effect along the lines of '100 Minerals Bet'.  '1,000 mineral bet!'.  'Alpha-Dog wins and 17,089 min go to the bettors!'.  Give me a highlight stat, if even briefly.  I'm not saying record it forever, but let's have a little pomp and circumstance around the betting and the outcomes.  Even if just for a few moments, I want winning to feel like getting a free life for the winners and like losing a life for the losers.  

- Proof of Developer is the new buzzphrase in cryptos.  I understand why devs would want to remain anonymous, and I think our devs have proven they are in this for the long haul and doing it the right way.  But if there is any way there can come to be a developer face for this that is a provable real human being, it would help the value.  If none of the current devs want outed, they should reach out to and bring someone new who could be the face of the devs.  

- Anon.  Anonymous transactions are the darling of the industry.  Let's find a way, whatever it is.  This will bring attention to us, and based on last night, even in the raw unpolished form, once people check us out they are going to be interested and inclined to get involved.  We just need them to get curious in the first place.
  
- Keep the realms of betting coming.  DOTA and LoL next? Great!  After that?  Classic sports.  I want to be able to bet minerals on hockey games next season.  I want to be able to make bets on the next pitch in a baseball game, just like I could in a Vegas sports book.  I looked into it briefly, and it looks like there are services out of Vegas that could serve as 'Oracles', providing info on sports stats that are measurable.  I'm sure there are box score APIs out there and such.  If we kick off with this tournament, follow up quickly with DOTA and LOL betting, anon shortly thereafter and real sports betting next?  Frickin' moon.
  
Any way, those are my thoughts.  Take them for what they are worth from someone who hasn't had to program a damn thing.  Just a little user feedback and what I'd like to see.  Keep up the good work.

There are some bots that pop up from time to time and just copy others post and repost them, obviously to up their activity level and rank, but for what end I don't know..

Maybe add trust to main acc or just scam in the future using an "old" account.

Yeah, because I`m still in hospital (PR here).

Magnet links actually was not that easy to implement as we thought. Will tak a while. Certainly wont be ready for August 2d.

Oooh. Thought you were already out of the hospital: like in a small intervention at a one-day-clinic ^^
Well... I wish you a good recovery

Isn't it easier to borrow and modify some code from a bittorrent client to fit the needs of Minerals?

How about a group hug? Or a group pile? Lol

I'm all pumped for the tourney. Got me some popcorn and beer

Can't wait for tomorrow night. Just bought an extra 200 MIN because it's so cheap I couldn't resist. I imagine it'll never be this cheap after the word gets out that the tournament is only an hour to two away.

Just started paying a little more attention to Minerals, cant believe all the development so far, very undervalued. Just checked on Bittrex and it only needs 4 BTC to hit 2000k, Saturday should be fun!

What's the status on betting 'magnet' links? Will it be ready for Saturday's tournament?

Visit here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=718290. Please take your tournament discussion there. We need to keep that thread going in order to reach a greater BTT mass.

Found this on ##minerals

[14:43] <evt_> this is from facebook
[14:44] <evt_> Hey guys, I'm posting on behalf of the tournament organiser for AuckLAN(www.aucklan.com). We are a volunteer group committed to providing NZ with an esports competitive LAN ranging across a variety of games(including Starcraft II). There have been no big LANs in NZ since Xlan which annual brought together over 700 gamers to one location. We are trying to get
[14:44] <evt_> this back but are looking for sponsors for each gaming category. With the success of the last AuckLAN we are hoping to make the next one even bigger. We were wondering if there is any chance we could get some Minerals for our Starcraft II tournament prize pool? In return we can promote Minerals on our home page, Starcraft community forums in our advertising
[14:44] <evt_> and throughout the tournament. This can be a way to promote the use of Minerals to Starcraft players in NZ. Doesn't have to be much but enough to get players excited.

posting it here so developer can see it
