If you used GP completely, how would the game react to changes in the BTC / USD value of GP?

I'm a bit iffy about the monthly subscription fee idea... you're instantly reducing the player base before you've even started.  If the rewards are going to be worth it (beyond the game itself being fun), how are you going to monetise it?  Adverts get annoying and as far as I can see the client wouldn't lend itself to them, so it would have to be in terms of items you could buy in the game, I suppose?

Interesting idea here. I was brainstorming the viability of having a MMO whose only currency was the crypto itself (unrelated to all of this) and couldn't get past the pricing of items vs. speed of earning of gold situation. Wasn't thinking about removing the ability to farm it, and using like a faucet...

And 1000 coins would be mGP. uGP would be micro, which means million (0.00000100 GP).

Sounds great Inkha! Maybe like Entropia, there can be some faucets in-game that dispense small amounts of GP to help people get started? But I agree most of the economy should be based around P2P trades. WIll be absolutely awesome if eventually people can have investment funds (e.g investing in someones mining operation etc) and things like that. Kind of like in EVE Online.

Maybe people need to pay a monthly subscription fee in GP to play as well? Will help drive demand for GP and any MMO that enables people to make money (or in this case GP), people usually have to pay to play.

I know you have a lot to do! But maybe when we get to adding HYPER a few options are 1.) added as an external market for P2P trades (while GP is fully integrated) 2. People can also pay their monthly playing "fee" in HYPER as well 3.) certain special items in game can perhaps only be traded for HYPER (e.g magical items or something). Or if you have the coding skills some magicalplaces could also act as kind of HYPER faucets. I would like to see all 3 actually

Good luck with today's work! Going for full GP integration is the absolutely best idea.

EDIT: If people can buy houses, plots of land, ore mines, shops etc (basically in-game assets and investments) from the game operators (us) with GP and HYPER now that would be a wet dream.

Ah okay, that makes more sense - thanks for the clarification! 

I had a quick look last night, afraid the only thing I'm reasonably good at right now is defeating spiders and mice! 

I am going to try and go for direct integration and see how it works instead of having an additional market, but the coins wont be 1:1. My idea is when you deposit 1GP that is equivalent of 1,000 coins (I think this is called uGP?) in the game and vice versa. This doesn't mean people can't make money in the game with their skills though. If you are the first one to get 99 smithing you can mine ores and create items that aren't available yet and sell them to other players for example.

I thought you were going to have Gold as in-game currency which could then be exchanged for GP (and later HYPER)?  Are you going for complete direct integration?  Much as I like that idea in some ways, it sounds terribly risky.

Hey guys, Hope everyone had a great weekend. I'm stoked to be back and working on the project again this week after a long weekend on the grind!

Here's what's on todays list:

1) Remove ways for people to gather coins in the game
* At the moment you can sell items in stores and receive GP for them, I need to remove all instances of generating coins in the game from shops etc because the economy will be based around P2P trades/GP deposits. There may be a faucet to get people started, but we need to make sure people can't go in and generate a ton of GP and cash out for example. I'l update you guys when I move on to the next task at hand! Keep in mind the server may be online and offline throughout the day as updates are added, But once we are in production mode we will be up 24/7

Cheers,
Inkha

Ah, thanks for that. New to the thread and didn't have time to read through everything, :p.

When does the cap on coins staked come into play (total market amount I mean) and when does the interest method change to be like HYPER's?

Thanks - for some reason it didn't occur to me to just try the "Existing Account" option! 

+1 to better resolution.. its really tiny lol

Could definitely take the rpg in another direction

Oh that, ok leave the site alone for now, i was talking to those files that are needed to be downloaded to be able to play. After running the files you will see what we are talking about..

just pick existing account and put in anything

I would, but there's nothing on the site - no placeholders, no "Create Account" button or in fact anything but the text "coming soon..."  

Because it's in testing phase, just create new account and you ready to go. Everything that you will do in this stage of development, will be later deleted. So just explore for now.

Um... is it actually possible to create an account for Inkhascape atm?  The game tells you to go to the website, which is currently empty (I thought there was some placeholder stuff there a day or two ago, but now all you get is a message saying "Coming Soon") - sorry if you've discussed this and I missed it!

oh, now i remember, i even vote NO to fork GP, damn it, i am to old for this shit.

just kidding.

thx hyperfuture

I held a poll and the results were overwhelmingly in favor of no fork for GP.

So it will continue as it is for now. The 2.5 GP cap per staking input actually keeps inflation relatively low, while letting anyone earn stakes.

As the ecosystem keeps growing, I anticipate market cap growth to far exceed inflation.
