Great work Petr1fied! Keep us updated.

i've noticed that, it's a cheap shot people are using against coins.

I'm currently testing a fix to the annoying rogue peers issue which causes the client to display that it's trying to sync even though it's not. This is an issue that has annoyed me and the dedicated miners for a long time and no doubt causes confusion for newcomers.

This fix will continue to allow the rogue peers to connect up until a deadline of August 15th 2013 at 00:00:00 (GMT) so there will still be a 2 week grace period where we will have to continue to put up with this annoyance but once the deadline is passed any peer who is not using the new client will be disconnected with extreme prejudice by the new clients.

Unfortunately this will also include all previous genuine versions of GameCoin so this is a compulsory update, hence the 2 week window to allow everyone a chance to update their clients. Failure to update will result in you being disconnected from all updated clients and therefore this will cause a hard fork between the updated client and the non-updated clients.

As I said I'm currently testing whether the fix will work as anticipated at the moment so I'll post more information later when I know the outcome of my tests.

Join me on cryptsy, user root1484. The more we talk about it and show activity the more likely and quicker it is to be added.

I've been asking to add it on cryptsy in the cryptsy topic. But at the moment you can't trade it yet

There are now trading platforms?

POOL PARTY!!!!

i cant get my adress

As far as I know the time travel exploit was fixed long ago and GameCoin is only 3 months old so based on pre-patched code. I'll certainly look into it though.

In other news, maxpower has kindly compiled an updated wallet for Mac users. I've updated the original post with the download link.

One question appeared : Does GameCoins still have the  time travel exploit ?

Or is this fixed already ?

Need 120 confirms on blocks apbyte, thats why. no problems with the payouts 

There is some problem with pool

I have been mining for at least 3 hours, and have 2413.11908945 in unconfirmed .. 0 confirmed and 0 paid out

Oh well obviously the best games are text-mode, so as not to impact the GPU too much.

Or maybe at most, two dimensional tile map games like Crossfire-RPG and Freeciv and Battle for Wesnoth.

I do play games at times when I am not mining

I may try this

It is up to the players what player-to-players currencies they choose to use, not something that needs to be built into a game-engine.

That also creates niches within the game(s) for trusted market-operators and traders and so on, since the game engine itself provides no guarantees you will get what you pay for or get sent the coins you sell stuff for. Putting code directly into the game to handle player-to-player (p2p) currencies just takes away from the players that whole opportunity to build up their business by building trust. Though of course it also eliminates the opportunity for nafarious long-con businesses to build up trust then cheat people.

GameCoin is just another bitcoin-based currency, it is pretty easy to plug in any such currency once you have one coded. I built IRC bots that gave people accounts in many currencies and let them trade them and so on, and the same shell scripts can be used by bots in various games. But if the players aren't bothering to introduce their favourite coins into the games it isn't really a great idea for the game administration to play favourites and pick one or several to provide built in support for.

Maybe when some clan or guild or nation or whatever gets a particular coin really super-well established they could in the game construct banks or whatever, ultimately finance getting code specially to support their currency put into the game via their national bank or whatever. I am thinking for example on the Freeciv scale, maybe when someone builds a bank in their city and gets an Open Transactions server set up to represent that bank, they could choose its main currency or something.

That Ix character who tried to bring Ixcoin trading into the game wasn't even from this forum, in general people from this forum aren't really into games other of course than "playing the markets", they seem to prefer to just bounce around on the web trading at exchanges and such without having a "character" that they play that muggers could lurk in wait for outside the exchange and stuff like that...

Or maybe the hacks and such that have happened to various websites serve as quite enough emulation of such aspects of games.

ahmed_bhodi is doing some maintenance right now due to some issues with switching to PPS. I'm sure he'll have it back online soon.

What's going on here?

(Note: cudaminer works fine)
(Note #2: Same goes for ports 3334 and 8341)

@markm: It sounds like a really nice idea. If it's something you're planning on creating yourself and need any help or advice on incorporating GameCoin I'll be happy to help with it in any way I can.
