[ANN] CryptoSpot - The First Bitcoin Virtual Mining Game

[xPooky]

Game launched, since this is no more project in development we are locking this thread and starting new one here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=945211

Hi,
We are currently working on a virtual mining game so we want some feedback from the community, how do they see it as an idea and maybe suggest some improvements to be made. Game should be out in BETA before the end of January.

The point of the game is very simple, mining bitcoins, so in order that to be achieved we have in game pools, players can buy equipment or upgrade it or rent... Also the game has altcoins that can be mined and latter sold on in game marketplace for bitcoin, multipools, etc, etc, etc. All in all just like real life mining, end the end point of the game is earning bitcoins, so players will be able to withdraw their coins.

Since there will be in game pools, altcoins, exchanges... we also like to see if there will be interest from coin devs, pool operators, exchanges... to advertise on the site in a way that the coin or exchange or pool will have the same name as their pool with a link to the original pool(advertising)

Please post your thoughts on this and vote on the poll

Thank You

btc is a good way to go and later on you can accept ALT coins

We think the same, but we also want to know what others think, thank you

Could you possibly give an example of how it would work?
Like, would the game use 100% of your CPU + GPU resources to mine through MY Hardware? or would our "characters" or "avatars" Mine virtual "blocks" and in turn give us small amounts of BTC

it will not use any of your PC resources, it will mine virtual blocks, the first month will start with total 1.5BTC reward that will be splited in blocks, so basicly, the players that have better virtual equipment will get more BTC

There's been a couple of these projects, I think Kluge has a current project doing this.  You may want to start out with an Altcoin to add something different. Darkcoin maybe?

We are considering to make this for altcoin, and we started thread before launch to get feedbacks from BCT members, in my knowledge i haven't seen something like this so far, but even if there is, competition is good

I always have fun with these types of games, and I'd love to see it when it comes out.

Cool, i think that soon we will be able to start the preregistration and give some more details about the game itself

[mamamae]

thinking that BTC is the stable coin is the right solution
 Metal is just some sat and it can be added after
the game goes viral , i think,
mine is just simple trader mentality but don't mind me
it's just speculation

I tried to register but I haven't gotten the email, and it's not in my spam folder. Can you confirm it got sent?

EDIT: Nevermind.

EDIT 2: When you say "Success, you can now login" or whatever, you're using a red box instead of green?
