76.95.191.10

I can no longer connect to gamecoin network with any wallet. Not with previous settings, not with new added nodes..

Thanks,  I've added them to my conf.   Need all the sane nodes we can find.

addnode=92.5.97.30

Searching through Miner-TE's post you will see a lot of "bad" nodes. The ones that are "good" are listed below. There are 3 things that you are looking for; "startingheight" (30748-current block number <32615>) , "subver" (/Satoshi:0.6.4/), and "version" (60002).


The conf file should contain-

Can't sync. Any working nodes?

I managed to make a successful albeit low ball trade of 10,000 GME for a mere 100 BQC, but it was an actual trade! 

Well Ixcoin itself is doing very well because it is merged mined on a few pools so its difficulty is not too insanely low.

But the big problem thie Ixian guy has of course is third parties printing "his civilisation's coin".

I expect the Fed would have similar problems if every mint in the world could print dollars, not just their own mint.

Basically if you try to back the coins being dumped by all the people mining them and dumping them you are liable to go broke.

Or another way of looking at the same problem is that blockchains are insanely expensive, even if you use merged mining.

100% of the coins, plus transaction fees, all go to miners. That really doesn't leave any reason for any nation to consider using a blockchain, they don't even get any of "their" coins, they are paying over 100% of all their money to the miners!

So yeah obviously the guy was not able to effectively "back" the coins. The most he could do was continue to sell in game stuff for them and offer to buy in game stuff for them. most blockchain coin users do not bother with that kind of thing so IXCoin, GRouPcoin and DeVCoin continue to be the only blockchain-based coins that get used much in the game, GRouPcoins by most groups, DeVCoins because the game development itself favours their use, and IXCoins because of that one guy, who does not even seem to have put together any reasonable size clan or guild or nation or whatever of Ixian people yet let alone actually established an Ixian nation on the Freeciv scale of play.

Sent you a PM.  Hopefully we can get this sorted momentarily

It was a clone. It's also not tradable for LTC because I've suggested keeping it out of exchanges for the time being because until there is a strong enough network of small services on board, the coin has no value. (Something that these dozens of failed coins' developers didn't seem to understand,).  In the greater scheme of things, the fact that GME has a high reward is totally irrelevant.  It just means more supply going around, which is a stable system would ultimately just lead to proportional prices (You'll notice the Yen is significantly smaller than the US Dollar, all that means is that exchanged denominations are usually larger.)
tl;dr the value of individual coins is not as relevant as the value of the total circulation of the coin, and that value is currently not at a satisfactory level for listing on an exchange to be a wise option.

Also, it sounds to me like that Ixian guy wasn't successful, given the past tense.  So it sounds like that may not be a viable strategy

I really am sorry that this coin isn't what you think it should be.  But hey, the source is on github

Guys I can not run

it's clone, plain and simple. it can be marketed maybe but i'd suggest a restart. this coin failed to take off. what it needs is rebranding, relaunch. and a different reward per block. my wallets combined could give me a hundred thousand, thtz why it's not even tradable for ltc.

So there isn't really even a clan or guild or whatever of players backing this coin in games, like that Ixian guy who was pushing the idea of Ixians as a nation or race or whatever in Galactic Milieu using Ixcoins as their national currency?

Thanks for the input, I can tell by your post count that you've been here quite a while, so I appreciate you taking the time to do a little reading and give us your two cents.

You might need to read a little closer, GameCoin wasn't launched for a specific game (Actually, it seems it was totally launched by the original dev as an obvious scamcoin, they did't bother swapping out logos or even changing the ticker from FTC!)
However, thee are a couple games with links near the bottom of the main post which accept and distribute GME.

The main reason I took over the GME project once I saw it had been abandoned is more of a curious interest than anything else.  I'd toyed with the idea of a coin that could be marketed an in-game rewards/commodity, but more an an incentive program that a standard and official currency.  It would be encouraged that game studios develop thier games with GameCoin support as an extra: distributing GME as in-game rewards (to bring players in that might want to collect GME) and/or accepting GME in exchange for in-game bonuses.

This coin won't be particularly profitable in the short term, so the biggest challenge is coming up with incentives and profit opportunities to keep the miners here, because it seems a lot of people are looking for relative small short-term gains rather than to be part of something larger.  More than anything I was looking to build/work with something neat, and add another open-source project I can cite contributions to.

tl;dr At the moment this coin can be sen as very similar to the scamcoins, provided you look at it from the perspective of someone hoping for a short-term gain.  We've got piles of ideas and plans, but until they are put into action and show results, they are exactly that.  Those who will benefit from GME will do so a little further down the line, and they'll be the few who see the potential of said plans.

is it 1000 coin per block
seems got 50 per block

Is there a graph somewhere showing how many of these coins were mined in the first minute, hour, day, week, month etc?

Also, I don't seem to find any details about the actual game?

If there is no actual game that these coins are part of, what is the point? People who create games will have plenty of reasons not to use this coin, especially if the graph ends up showing it started at zero difficulty or some crazy crap like that like all the recent scamcoins.

Actually several groups of players within games have created coins for use in-game before, the problem they all ran into was blockchains are insanely expensive. You end up giving more than 100% of your money to miners! 100% of all the coins mined, then also transaction fees on top of that, what the heck that is insane. It is like saying to the U.S. that if they want you to act as a money transmitter for their currency they have to give you every dollar they print plus transaction fees!

Nothing I have seen so far indicates this coin is any different from any of the other recent scamcoins, and since there seems to be no link to the game there isn't really much indication that the game this currency is part of is even worth playing...

It's sort of neat seeing stuff like this going on so smoothly.

Guh, that's never fun.  I've been there.

lol know the feeling... I am out of work due to injury LOL

just sent you a pm
