- DP-3 to all DiS-participants (excluding DP-2). (10 existing, 4 CKG each)

Congratulations all!

The DIP shop is now open. If you wish to convert DIP to items, the table is as follows:

Code:

1 DIP -> 2x BRE
# DIP -> ?x XYZ (Swedish goods other than just Knäckebröd? Better than ordinary ratio prob)
10 DIP -> 1x KMT
100 DIP -> 20x KMT
100 DIP -> 1x H3
1000 DIP -> JWL-SS: Ring Bearing the Sign of the Lion from the North (Cultural object)
1000 DIP -> 1x H5
10000 DIP -> JWL-GA: Recognition by Gustaf Adolph himself (Cultural object)
10000 DIP -> 1x H7
##### DIP -> ? (Suggestions open for specialized items; e.g. related to Combined Arms developed by Gustav Adolph)

There were questions whether DIP would be locked to characters (similar to CUL). This was the original idea, but I am open for suggestions should a good mechanic be proposed. Naturally the converted items can traded in the Agora market.

For DIP conversions, please /query me in IRC or send a list of items you wish to purchase through BCT private message. It is still possible to open new possibilities to the shop. Otherwise this shop will remain open roughly for a week and then DIP will remain permanently in their respective characters, and may usable during the next Diplomacy-related event.

Kind regards,
Prince Syksy Syyskuu of Petrichor

Hello

I'm back after a long time!

I'm afraid I'm not able to login to my account iluvbtcFOC, can someone help me recover my account?

Since the password I used is not working, I'm really afraid someone had access to it since my bitcointalk account was hacked recently too.

[#27; 18-March-1670; Balthasar]

HGM Zechariah of Tavastia-rpietila-CK, THOFB70, AOK-GM, OD-GM, AOD-Gen4, etc., etc(x3) walks to Balthasar with HRH Royal Prince Wizarddeveloper PJ, etc, Duke of Serbia, etc(x2). First thing they do is have double iodined juice and then they proceed to some food.

Zechariah had smoked 2*CIG already (being ready for 1-2 more, preferably soon in Sigarimaja). After advanced wisdom in the prior ode, he has a hard time finding anything to say of the Casa de García, preferring to CP:

[ode #2]
• Zechariah thinks that Casa de García Long Robusto (or whatever, it’s the last one of the kind that Zechariah bought from the corner Tobacco shop, not the same corner as the table where SA Ilja, LTC, was arrested in a 30-police operation in Barcelona in 2016-10-27 if his memory serves him correct, but the next one along the C-31 towards NE, in the same block where the Ilja’s then penthouse was located, for EUR65 in banknotes, per a plastic wrapper of 20) is unimpressive and takes a hit from CAN instead, sipping G&T in the process.
• Zechariah cannot even take a hit before realising the price was EUR 26(!) per 20(!!), and paid with a single banknote and the coins in the change were duly given as a tip.
[/ode]

The official 11-round tasting cannot continue for now, because of missing choices. The friends eat red caviar, tunafish carpaccio, venison tenderloin, some red fish and nothing for dessert, paired with Albert Bichot (Bourgogne) Chablis Premier Cru Les Vaillons AC Domaine Long-Depaquit 2010 and SanSilvestro Cantine Barolo DOCG Riserva 2000. Zechariah was not in the mood for red wine. "That's what happens to some people when they get older."

They listen to Music and soon take their way towards the night. (Of course they don't show up in their own party, except to dole out the drop at 00:00-00:15).

Storytelling by Earl Tombot (215), part 7 (year 1670)

Earl, EARL???, wow, what can I say..

Last time I reported from our beloved Cryptokingdom I was a minor noble, a Baron. Now I am a noble, a peer. I am again very thankful to everybody involved! Nobles need carriages so the first thing I did was spend 10 mil on an antique carriage, also enjoyed buying 2 horses. 10 mil could have bought me 3 small houses a couple of years (weeks IRL) ago so this carriage was no small matter for me.

I have started publishing a weekly housing markets report of all the houses / land lots that are for sale at the moment, you can find these reports in the CryptoKingdom Markets thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1850565.0

Thats all for now, have to go back to the market place. Hope to see you all there! Remember that I am as approachable as before even though I am a noble now. Contact me, lets talk

to be continued...

[Roopatra]

From now on RAQ will be giving a dividend of 500,000 per S-RAQ every week until the m- balance of the account is less than 1,000,000,000.

RAQ has given a dividend of 500,000m per share for year 1670. Thank you shareholders.

[iluvbitcoins]

Wow!

It 's really a nice surprise to log into my account and find over 8BTC worth of assets in it!

I always find good news when I come here

I'v been away for a long time so if anyone could update me on major changes, I'd be very grateful

The thing I noticed is there are no shares anymore?

m is no longer backed by any external currency - it is merely the game currency to buy ingame items.  The CK shares were turned into m.

m3 is backed by XMR
b1 is "supposed to be" backed by BTC
e1 is "supposed to be" backed by EURO

M is also equity in the game itself. The only depository at this point that I can trust at this point to set a price on M is the M3 depository which sets a market price on M in terms of XMR, with M3 valued at 0.01 XMR.

Ohh

That's very disappointing

It means all my shares were converted to roughly 0.07BTC
Thought I had 155 XMR, turns out it's only 4.5 XMR

I was really happy just 1 minute ago  

What does "supposed to be" mean?

Also, my first thought was company shares, not CK shares, bank shares etc.

It means a high probability of a fractional reserve. There are not enough XBT to back all the b1 or EUR to back all of the e1. This is combined with a form of exchange controls. EUR withdrawals are only allowed in cash in person in Tallinn Estonia, XBT withdrawals are subject to certain delays unless one pays a premium for a faster withdrawal (B2). I posted on exchange controls in this post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1850565.msg18633169#msg18633169 and the distortions this creates in the marketplace on this post. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1850565.msg18616745#msg18616745

[generalizethis]

104. At once an urgently actionable plan is suggested to Zechariah about how the Building module could be opened for annual payouts in M, CUL+IC, (WIS+)SCI, he promises to consider its implementation and the donation of 10-1,000 mil (per person) to the ones responsible for the plan according to their own announcement. A separate donation will be made in order to incentivise the production (if Zechariah gives the plan a go);

Any information on how the process worked before, so we can get some idea on how the parts function in accordance with each other? Like how are the SCI, IC and M being generated?

[EthSports]

What do you guys think about creating a forum just for CK? Is it worth the effort? Would people eventually go there? Is it a fool's errand?

Yes, people would use it, but it's better to stay at bitcointalk where we get some exposure from constant bumping.


@ArticMine
Thanks for the reply.

[CrazyLoaf]

Rather than a dedicated forum, would really recommend that the already existing CK Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/cryptokingdom/) be used. This will allow people to comment/interact without creating yet another login. Also, anything on Reddit will have better SEO than anything on a private forum and any admin management requirements are lessened. Of course, keep posting on BTCTalk too

If you want delivery of your B1/B2/E1, you can take it as follows:

GIVE B1 amount 1 [address] => If (amount-10) mBTC has not been sent to address in 12 matrix-hours from changelog timestamp of this; amount += 0.01*amount, each full hour.

GIVE B2 amount 1 [btc-address] => If (amount-10) mBTC has not been sent to address in 12 matrix-hours from changelog timestamp of this; amount += 0.01*amount, each full hour.

GIVE E1 amount 1 [prio5] => If (amount-100) Euro has not been surrendered to hand of courier in the Throne Room in 336 matrix-hours from changelog timestamp of this; amount += 0.01*amount, each full hour. Total maximum 10000*500 EUR banknote(rounded down (your loss) to nearest unit), first come first served.

GIVE E1 amount 1 [prio4] => If 0.95*(amount-100) Euro has not been surrendered to hand of courier in the Throne Room in 48 matrix-hours from changelog timestamp of this; amount += 0.01*amount, each full hour. Total maximum 100*500 EUR banknote(rounded down (your loss) to nearest unit), first come first served.

GIVE E1 amount 1 [prio3] => If 0.90*(amount-100) Euro has not been surrendered to hand of courier in the Throne Room in 12 matrix-hours from changelog timestamp of this; amount += 0.01*amount, each full hour. Total maximum 10*500 EUR banknote(rounded down (your loss) to nearest unit), first come first served.


The following apply only once per [person;encounter]  with SA Risto, General (meaning: only one exchange per meeting me please & 1 matrix-hour apart in any case):

Give 10,000,000 Markka certificate to Risto's hand => Gain 2*500 EUR banknote to your hand.
Give 5,000,000 Markka certificate to Risto's hand => Gain 1*500 EUR banknote to your hand.
Give 2,000,000 Markka certificate to Risto's hand => Gain 200 EUR in banknotes to your hand.
Give 1,000,000 Markka certificate to Risto's hand => Gain 100 EUR in banknotes to your hand.
Give 500,000 Markka certificate to Risto's hand => Gain 50 EUR in banknotes to your hand.
Give 200,000 Markka certificate to Risto's hand => Gain 20 EUR in banknotes to your hand.
Give 100,000 Markka certificate to Risto's hand => Gain 10 EUR in banknotes to your hand.

[iluvbitcoins]

Shouldn't we be giving you E1 not Markka certificates?
Or are both convertable to euros?

I am anyway not leaving Revalia Old Town, so in that area Markka certs(/10000) == EUR banknotes.

E1 you can give me in CK:Ultima and can collect in prio[3,4,5] (12/48/336 hours) depending on your wish (short notice there is maximum).

So, basically if I travel to Talinn I should get 500*10EUR in a term of up to 12 hours?

Dude do you remember I introduced you to this game???

If yes and you plan to go to Tallinn let me know when and I will try to make another trip there!

Well, if I'll be able to cash out E1, hell yeah I'll come
I don't really recall how I found out about CK :/

Well let me refresh your memory!

if you have time read this
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=819073.msg9156194#msg9156194

If you don't this is the short story
with about 0.13BTC you buy 50 XMR and then with that 50XMR you buy some ingame gold from risto .... that gold will generate more gold ... if you are interested in his game then just go and buy it ... if you are not I would like to try it as I know him in real life

also if this will be a loan i don't know how much I will need to repay it back and I don't know about interest ... i would just prefer to leave the interest and time frame blank and negotiate that with you after I will see how much I made from joining early!

Thanks for your time!

I was asking you for a loan to join the game

You have to get me a champagne to celebrate!

[serje]

Hahah, that's sweet!
Well, I got you in with my loan early too, didn't I?

No, Because back in the days my account was worth shit and I didn't had any valid collateral so you rejected my offer, but you got in

This is why you own me big time

[dnaleor]

Selling my house: https://cryptokingdom.me/land/lot/details/40

Will be selling to highest bidder at 22:00 GMT on april 20 if the minimum bid satisfies me. Currently it does

I have an ask at 50 million M, so people who really want it can buy it now.

[of course if a bidding war is going on I may extent the deadline a few hours or even a day]
