@Smooth: I don't want to speak for KLONE, but I don't think of it as "reducing risk", but increasing potential. As he said, if XMR suddenly turned to $1000 per, no one would buy into the game, not at current prices. I don't think it's likely for such a game to increase its value relative to XMR. I understand that it's a game, not an investment tool. Still, I'm sure a lot more people are willing to consider it, given a 2-way exchange, from XMR to game currency and back. Again, Entropia Universe does this and has been online for 10 years or more now. Well, I never played it so I can't comment on it much, but I think such a system is worth looking into.
Good points (and KLONE as well). I have no idea CK assets (any of them) turn into a good investment. You may be right that just holding XMR is better. It will be interesting to see how that turns out.

I think the longer term CK property prices (in XMR) are likely to go down for reasons already mentioned
Shouldn't the value go up since ancient property will remain in the center while new properties will be further and further away with time? XMR should go up, but entire CK is tied to it New players could still easily purchase land outside the city cheaply

Looking for a signature campaign.

So, how and where does one start playing this game? I can find a lot of info about it, but not the game itself.
The best way to start playing the game is this: **CKG MARKET UPDATE**After reaching an all-time high of 524,000 m/CKG on March 9th, the gold price is now down to 450,000 m/CKG. The only reason for sales seem to be from players needing to resolve their negative monerito balance after construction costs or buying land. Curious how to monitor the current gold price? Check the /trade_gold tab in the main Character & Resource Database. In other news, I am announcing a 10 GOLD GIVEAWAY for the first 20 new players that sign up before the online launch. Just PM me with your character's username, age, and sex to receive 10 CKG (currently ~4.5 XMR). Free money!

My logic is that since the value is and has always been determined by the markets, it should go up. The markets should never logically end up in a situation where they are paying too much for the land, so that the likely future would be down. All things are taken into account, including EUR/USD, USD/BTC, BTC/XMR and XMR/CKG exchange pairs. Of course the above applies to every market everywhere, and still property booms and busts happen.

I'm trying to figure out a good way to do coin trades (and potentially other items as well) within CK. I decided to set up an external website to manage some of this for now. You can check it out here: http://cryptokingdomshop.comIt allows you to list and browse coins for sale, as well as check out your account for what you've listed. The site requires email verification, and you should check your spam folder as the emails seem to end up there. Thoughts? Improvements that could be made? This was a first try at it, so if there are some things that could be done better, I'm all ears.

Mid-way information on the Building stock in the Kingdom and the town: The total floor area is about 110,000 sqm. It seems that we need about 400 buildings to totally materialize it. More than half of the sum is already created, although it could be that the more difficult ones are saved for the last... Finally the data is so detailed that you cannot cheat or suboptimize too easily. It gives rise to a generic rental price algorithm (not especially tailored to apartments nor offices, just for fun). It turns out that the most expensive expected rent per sqm would be in the following places (values for scale only): Town Hall - Great Hall 20 The Embassy Tower Owner's Suite 19,5 House of Magnificence 18,8 Town Hall Annex - Town Council Meeting Hall 18 The Grand Hotel Restaurant 13,7 Town Hall - Offices 13,5 PofC&S - Great Hall 13,4 "The Throne Room " 13,1 "Palace - Great Hall " 12,9 Arco di Sergiu Main Body 12,9 The Royal Palace 2nd-3rd floor 12,6 Tsurugajo Art Gallery 12,2 Town Hall - Restaurant 12,2 The Royal Palace 1st floor 11,5 PofC&S - Royal Music Hall 11,4 Botanical Gardens 11,3 The Grand Hotel Cocktail Bar 11,2 Tsurugajo Japanese Restaurant 11,2 Palace - Chapel and Bedroom 10,6 The Grand Hotel 10,5 Ale of the Obelisk - Rooftop 10,5 House of Magnificence - King's Office 10,4 Town Hall - Commercial 10,2 The New Grand Restaurant 10 "Earl Luigi's Office " 9,4 The New Grand Hotel 9,4 San Pietro - Church 9,1 The Embassy Tower Business Hotel 9
The coveted Great Hall in Town Hall is situated in the heart of the Old Town Centre, built in 1454, has 295 sqm inside area + 334 sqm in terraces + access to the 800+ sqm roof garden directly above. Its luxury rating is 190% and it is up to 9 m high. Its window ratio is better than 1:4, the windows let in sunlight from 2 directions, the views are to at least 2 directions, and a Most Cultured building is visible. With these characteristics the title of The Most Expensive Rent belongs to the Town Hall. The Town Hall belongs to the Town Hall Corp, a crowdfunded semi-for-profit corporation from the 1450. The architect is HM The King. The runner-up, The Embassy Tower Owner's Suite, which is the most expensive place actually used as a private dwelling (by The Prince of Soul) is likewise bordering the Central Square. It consists of the 2 highest floors of the Embassy Tower and the terraces and gardens throughout. With 146 sqm floor area it has 146 sqm of private gardens and 96 sqm of terraces. Built in 1528, its luxury% is 320%, which is tied for the highest. With a window ratio of 1:2, unblocked sun and views and all three existing Most Cultured buildings in sight, it's only the meager room height (4 m) that makes this gem less valued than the winner.

Gold Coins are implemented in the Char DB /GOLD_COINS tab
During the Ancient history, 127 coins have been minted in Crypto Kingdom:
- in 1500, 8 types in the Centenary Jubilee - in 1520, 1 type for the Trust In Economy - between 1400-1599, 86 types of Coin of the Realm (same coin, different years) - in 1600, 32 types of TACCC
The mintages vary from 7 to 500. Anyone is allowed to melt his possessions for gold, no matter in which form they are. For this reason the coins tend to become scarcer over time unless they develop collector's value.
If you want to gift coins to your fellow citizen, just transfer them in the table. The amount of gold is not affected (markup-only).
Market making
* Lord noms is about to open a market for sellers of coins.
* The /GOLD_COINS tab hosts a buying market, where you can bid for a certain coin (or raise the previous bid and replace it). Anyone can match the request and clear the field.
What's Happened in the coins market and distribution
- The King has distributed 190/500 of the HM1600J commemorative coins to almost all the characters in the game, 1-5 coins to each (markup-only) - The Town has distributed 95/300 of the CT1600C commemorative coins to almost all the characters in the game, 1 coins to each (markup-only)
- The Town Hall has distributed some of its coins (TH1500E, TH1600E) as a sort of dividends to shareholders (55/100 distributed in each, markup-only).
- The Marquess of Tavastia has minted a coin ZE1600T to commemorate the birth of my son, it reads "IACOBUS DANIEL ZECHARIAH IOHANNES". 27/50 is distributed to the best guys in the Kingdom.
- The CryptoMuseum operated by North Face (31) is accepting donations. The quest is to collect all coins in existence. HM and others have already gifted coins, resulting in the largest collection of unique coins already.
Some Offerings currently existing
- The Town Hall, unique among all buildings (most expensive floor area), has the Pair of coins, one was minted in 1500 by the King and the whole run gifted to the Town Hall (gold including). The twin was minted in 1600. This combo will only be sold as a bundle, 2 coins for 10 mil (markup-only). Buy 3 Pairs (the maximum allowed per character) for 25 mil.
- The Marquess of Tavastia wants to offer everyone a chance of buying the ZE1600T coin if they did not end up in the distribution list. One coin per character, and the price is 15 mil (markup-only). A duplicate is also possible, so you can buy one, even if you received one due to being such a good guy.
- HM1500J is a very coveted coin that was the last one minted in the Most Ancient era. 36/100 were gifted to PCs then in the game and each has only one. This offer is for anyone but only one coin per person for 10 mil.
- The Most Ancient Coin Collector Kit. You can't beat this one. 10 different coins, of which 3 have a mint run of only 20 coins and are therefore among the oldest and most valued CR-coins. (Set contains one of each 1418, 1420, 1424, 1428, 1438, 1448, 1452, 1470, 1478, 1490). Sold Out. Thank you buyers!
- New field added in /GOLD_COINS: Special Trade Instructions let you express your wishes for trades that anyone can fulfill. Please be specific, see nikke1(#50) for an example.

The Duke fancies himself a numismatist and buys each of these four offerings.

The Noble Palace Club is also minting and issuing a coin, soon to be distributed to all club members of the nobility. These depict some of the views from the Noble Palace itself which has the grand views of both the obelisk and the jousting grounds, and has provided the most opulent viewing locations above the dust for our lords and ladies of the Crypto Kingdom since its early construction. These will be issued sometime during the coming days to all members in proportion to their membership level (providing a short opportunity for all nobility to update their membership or purchase shares from other nobles). There are 250 of these 5 CKG minted in celebration of this jubilee year. 200 will be distributed, and the remainder to be later placed on offer for future nobility or collectors.

In celebration of the new century upon us, I would like to donate a NO1600Y coin weighing 25 gold to the admins who have helped me out by teaching me the game, as well as helping me with my (many) requests. Thank you! It goes without saying that HM The King would get a coin to do with as he sees fit. I would also like to donate a coin to the Crypto Museum run by SirJacket to help complete the collection (just added to your personal collection for now). Keep collecting!
