Topic: [ANN][MOTO] Motocoin - page 18. (Read 178225 times)

I may be wrong but I think there is some kind of synchronization issue after September's patch. Every now and then my wallet shows one block number and c-cex shows another (often less than mine).

Sometimes my client doesn't receive any block for 20 minutes but when I restart it, they arrive.

The next phase of this project I think rests on a supportive community willing to contribute.
I for one will be creating in the next 3-4 months a new sprite and as to the skins etc. to make it more alluring,
but I think the game should be 'apped' for smartphones, and the wallet as well.
Just not sure what format the frames for the sprite will be, perhaps a dev should PM me about that, since it won't be one using physics to move parts of the sprite, it will just be a series of images looped to appear as a jester in colourful cloths cycling, however I notice there is some physics involved in the front wheel of the cycle...
if someone can get back to me on this as I'm not sure how to actually implement my frame by frame sprite loop so it is compatible with the way the game's sprite is created?

If my graphics were to be appreciated and implemented I would redesign the website for a more public-friendly, alluring tone that attracts players.

For instance having the surfaces have say, wafting manga style grassblades while a jester with curly toed shoes and colourful clothes cycles around on a classic wood cycle looking for his missing cat, with different background, (moonlight, dusk, sunset, etc.) for different levels could really make this game enjoyable as a phone app...
But I mean some consensus would have to be reached about the implementation of new graphics and some type of storyline...
But I will be creating the graphics sometime the next few months, still have to figure out exactly how you'd want the skins, not sure how those work, but will do backgrounds as well, apart from the fact that you know wel, the surface area that is ridden upon, could have 2d cut outs stuck to it for depth of background, like say bushes, or trees, grasses, poles, etc. whatever... depending on the background scene and so on. I just think the game needs colour and character, its obviously got one helluva backbone
so I keep on ranting and promising to deliver a new sprite and colourful backgrounds and skins, mmm. A few more months and it can be decided if my wonky creations are worthy of implementation

Yes, the devs took pretty nice measures to correct that

Um, didn't we already fix the bots so now the difficulty can be mined by a human?

Maybe there's still hope 

".... but the developers promise continued improvements. The most important one upcoming is designed to detect bots, which are currently skewing the difficulty to an inhuman level."

Awesome! I wonder if it will bring more players.

I seriously think we NEED to do a relaunch otherwise no one will play. No one is playing right now because no one is playing right now. IMO we are never going to get out of this hole.

Very wonderful article.

Great job.

did you know you were featured here? http://bitcoinmagazine.com/18306/cryptocurrencies-in-video-games-preview-roundup/

Doesn't seem anything happens, dev's seem to have chosen to keep it how it is. If it stays this way traders will have no more interest to buy it and MOTO will face delisting from C-Cex.

Every coin has the same procedures. Dev's mostly take on the technical side, some community members need to be active in developing in the field and give the coin more purpose. The passive coinholders need to support them when needed with votes on exchanges and services and donations if needed. If there is no IPO, premine or developing funds then community has to step up. Ofcourse it's hard to promote a coin that is either broken or can't be used by everyone who likes to mine it.

There is interest I think we must perfect the technical side before thinking further...

What's up guys. Is there any interest to develop this coin further upon? So far this thread is mostly about the technical side of things but never to create purpose for spending, adoption, adding it to coinservices, games, chartingsites, tipbots etc. So much things possible.

No announcement regarding the dev leaving so far, AFAIK, any proof to backup your claim?

Only the first developer has (seemingly) left. WilliamLie. But HMC is still here.
I still think that the only way we are going to get the players we need is by doing a relaunch.
Does anyone agree with me?

What if we do a relaunch, except that we have a premine and then after the first block in the new version, we send every address that has motocoin in this version the same amount. All we need to do is transfer our wallet.dat over to the new version's %appdata% folder. Exactly like Clams (the coin).

the developer has already leaved this project))

Bots are part of the history, just like ASIC's are part of Bitcoin history. And also, the dev isn't omnipresent, nor does he have 8 arms.

almost? It is full of bots for months. And there are so much space for improvements that the last update was on 24 may

I don't understand what you try to say too. Please advertise elsewhere.
Proof of Play in MOTO is specific form of proof-of-work which human can perform (almost?) as good as program. It's used to secure network (in practice no everything is so rosy now, but anyway). And there is space to AI improvements and research. Motocoin is indeed interesting and original concept for crypto and maybe it's only the first of future experimental family of the cryptocurrencies.

It seems the only difference from "proof-of-play" of MOTO is mined HYPER coin count is not proportional to the count of miners/players.
But even theoretically if it is not proof-of-play then could you explain why people should mine/use MOTO instead of HYPER?

I don't understand what you are trying to say. Again, these games don't have any proof that you played them, therefore they are not proof of play. We had this battle with them a little while ago and they agreed to stop telling people that their game is proof-of-play.
