Topic: [ANN][MIN] Minerals - POS | Developing own anon solution | - page 65. (Read 742197 times)

Hey all.  Gotta say I am loving this coin's potential and the measured prioritization of the devs.  I watched some of Crayon's test last night and wanted to post some feedback.  I had a great time watching. The betting mechanics, even in their current raw form, were entertaining and addictive.  Below are my general thoughts on the state of the coin and feelings on what is needed to take us to the moon.  I want to qualify this by saying I think the devs are doing a great job, MineralsPR is rocking the communications, and this could be something really big.  I'm not asking 'why don't we have these things' but rather sharing what I think it would be great if we did have.  So:

- The live.minerals.pro website needs to get proper design and UI love.  It looks like a slightly modified unoriginal template and the first thought when visiting is 'this looks amateurish'.  The tournament site is so slick and epic, it's a real let down to see the actual betting site in comparison.  Obviously, the devs have rightly been focusing on functionality, but I think we are getting to the point where proper branding and design are going to become critical.  This site needs to look and feel futuristic and sleek.  We're ready to invite the masses and we need to put out the good china.

- The betting is awesome, but not all that intuitive.  There should be some brief explanation on the page without having to visit other tabs.  Underneath the addresses that you send your bets it should say something like 'Send Minerals to this address to bet on _____ at _____ odds.'  The user shouldn't have to intuit what the addresses mean or leave the page for a separate tab to understand.

- The design should behave and feel like a video game.  There needs to be some graphical representation of how many minerals have been bet and some exclamatory action upon completion of a round.  Think about Halo or other video games that give some sort of pleasant sound and affirmation when something happens.  'Headshot'.  'Combo'.  'Achievement Unlocked'.  We need to feel like that.  There should be some sort of visual effect along the lines of '100 Minerals Bet'.  '1,000 mineral bet!'.  'Alpha-Dog wins and 17,089 min go to the bettors!'.  Give me a highlight stat, if even briefly.  I'm not saying record it forever, but let's have a little pomp and circumstance around the betting and the outcomes.  Even if just for a few moments, I want winning to feel like getting a free life for the winners and like losing a life for the losers.  

- Proof of Developer is the new buzzphrase in cryptos.  I understand why devs would want to remain anonymous, and I think our devs have proven they are in this for the long haul and doing it the right way.  But if there is any way there can come to be a developer face for this that is a provable real human being, it would help the value.  If none of the current devs want outed, they should reach out to and bring someone new who could be the face of the devs.  

- Anon.  Anonymous transactions are the darling of the industry.  Let's find a way, whatever it is.  This will bring attention to us, and based on last night, even in the raw unpolished form, once people check us out they are going to be interested and inclined to get involved.  We just need them to get curious in the first place.
  
- Keep the realms of betting coming.  DOTA and LoL next? Great!  After that?  Classic sports.  I want to be able to bet minerals on hockey games next season.  I want to be able to make bets on the next pitch in a baseball game, just like I could in a Vegas sports book.  I looked into it briefly, and it looks like there are services out of Vegas that could serve as 'Oracles', providing info on sports stats that are measurable.  I'm sure there are box score APIs out there and such.  If we kick off with this tournament, follow up quickly with DOTA and LOL betting, anon shortly thereafter and real sports betting next?  Frickin' moon.
  
Any way, those are my thoughts.  Take them for what they are worth from someone who hasn't had to program a damn thing.  Just a little user feedback and what I'd like to see.  Keep up the good work.

I agree that the group photo of all collective would be the best option, but all of them are in different places. I think that in the future they will make it. For example will gather in honor of tournament or celebration in honor of the project.

Lol friend you dont understend me well i never said that was not him. Read a little better i said that is not it, in way that was good (nice i wrote) but its not enough. Do you now know what i want to say?  
ps. picture of my girlfrined and me....You can send me pm on my facebook acount and i will answer. I have acount there since 2008 or 2009

hi to all.... i dont post here a lot but read everything...I was mine mineral in pow stage and hold and still holding. I was in shock when this coin WACG hit 20 000 % in price two days ago on bittrex. I never heard about this coin or mined it but i go to they bitcointalk page and this coin have nothing new, 600 mil. coins in total lol. But they announce this gay Mr. Martin Wild. I dont know who he is but maybe Minerals dev. team should do the same. Announce they identity on firs page. I know that MIneralsPR post a pitcure of himself that was nice, but that is not it. Now is the right time before the tournament. They are here to stay and it cost nothing to do it but it can all bring us well... Good luck   

nope, it's me

i hope it's not just the dev...it would make it seem sad

wow someone's buying in, don't miss that train

everyone want anon, no anon coin are ignored, if that anon craze isn't done yet..

Can somebody explain why is the coin so dead? Nobody is selling, nobody is buying.

Just no. Not at this stage at least.

I think that taking part in Minerals Tournament players will be obliged to buy coins. How many Minerals bought, with such quantity and you start playing. You want a sure victory? Then buy more Minerals.

Sure thing! Also I added it to the OP

Guys the tournament details has been posted on the Announcement section- https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/immortals-minerals-tournament-saturday080220141000am-pdtutc-700-718290.

Thanks alot. Cu!

I love this coin... but please get an editor! Your OP is full of bad grammar and spelling mistakes! Let's get professional here guys, first impressions count, no matter how good the development is going. I'd be more than happy to be your grammar nazi and fix it!
