Hydrogen Helix Commemorative Coins A.D. 1620

It is not every century that a new Monero version is released!

Therefore, the Royal Mint is dedicating the entire Coins series in 1620 to Hydrogen Helix!!


CR1620E ** 5 CKG Gold ** 20 minted (rare, 10 gifted to fluffypony, rest for sale by coinshop)

CR1620B ** 2 CKG Gold ** 100 minted (semi-rare, 50% over spot)

CR1620A ** 1 CKG Gold ** 14 minted (rare, virgin gold, raffled, aftermarket only)

CS1620E ** 5 CKS Silver ** 50 minted (semi-rare, for sale by coinshop)

CT1620 ** copper token ** 250 minted (gifted 1/char, the rest are for sale)

I have a feeling that these ones will be among the most coveted collectibles of the early 1600s, since they also commemorate the Centenary of the Trust In Economy movement (1520 / 2014-12-09) the most difficult time in CK history.

WOW for the donations. Also HE Prince of Soul donates 75*IC for the obelisk and Town Hall donates 25*IC.

King will soon consummate the promised 500 CKS.

Also the bug with reporting "M" balances in the UI and another one with reporting "exists" are now fixed!

I am so happy with Hydrogen Helix I decided to increase my previous 100 CKG donation by 900 CKG, for a total of 1000 CKG donation to MoneroHouse! Thanks to all the devs.

update: 996 CKS donated to the Obelisk! Consumed 83 TS156 CKS coins.

PS. Seems to be a bug with M right now. When I consumed the CKS for the Obelisk, my M balance was deducted...? And it shows -6 mil now on the main page, but in Agora is the same as it was before (about 10 mil).

James Daniel Sword

Jungherr James Daniel (some address him Prince, which technically is incorrect since the flesh relatives of the King do not become royals nor princes unless appointed by the Monarch) is a handsome, strong man. Peaceful as he is, he feels that the peace in the Kingdom is best preserved by addressing the threats when they are still afar. He is often seen with Knights and other young nobles practicing swordsmanship in the remote squares in the town, and takes frequent trips to the countryside for these pursuits as well.

His sword is a big one, Longsword with a Very Powerful edge and Elaborate finish. Even with elaboracy, it is still too heavy to be used by the King (who does not have much reputation of a swordsman as he's never been seen with a drawn sword) or HRH Prince Zechariah (who used to be an avid rider and swordsman with 1-handed swords, but those days are long gone with the prince more and more indulged in commerce these days).

The origins of James Daniel Sword are mysterious. A pertinent rumor says that when he reached the age of 14, in 1614, the grandfather had this sword made for him and presented it to him personally. Now the mysterious part is that his known grandfather is the person only known as The Old Duke of the Very Ancient Duchy, who was reportedly alive when his son (the King rpietila I of Crypto Kingdom still reigning) took over in 1400. In the whole written history in the CryptoTown era (1430-) there is no mention of him.

Nevertheless, the sword now to be converted from IC is easy to calculate:

Level: 3(longsword)+1(imported)+3(very powerful)+1(elaborate)+2(base cost) = K10
Price: 10-1(being very powerful and at least elaborate)-1(being the first sword of this character) = 8. Lookuptable 8 => 200 IC. Backdated to 1614 => 239 IC.

Once Lord Syksy returns from his travels, James Daniel has a weapon in his hand!

New Permanent IC Conversion Table

Our scientists have finally figured the perfect formula for IC conversion, so that it does not need to be changed weekly. The Permanent table will be prominently displayed now in this thread, and soon in the game itself. IC will be possible to be used to gain many items from the international trade.

If you want to exchange your IC for these items, the command is as follows:

CONSUME IC amount [note]

It is important to have the square brackets [ ]. The "note" is the tell for the admins what you want to be converted from the IC. If there is no note, it is treated as a donation. Please use the notes from the official list to avoid ambiguity. We will automatize the system soon, after which only the correct notes will gain you the items.


CATEGORIES (WILL BE AMENDED WHEN MORE THINGS ARE INTRODUCED)


WINES

The French Wines are international renown (and the Germanians are the runner-up). When wines comes to initial market, they are cheap, but Town will add 10,000 m tax at some point afterwards to the then-existing stock. This can only be done once, so every further conversion after the taxation will be tax-free. Conversion prices in the aftermarket go up. Currently available are the following post-plague wines (pre-plague cannot be had any more):

W1611  2/IC  (note: W1611)
W1614  3/IC  (note: W1614)
W1612  4/IC  (note: W1612)
W1616  6/IC  (note: W1616)
W1615W  6/IC  (note: W1615W)

When a wine ends up on this list, it can only drop out once. After that it cannot be reintroduced. The price can only be 12, 6, 4, 3, 2 or 1 bottles per IC. The price can never go down, only up. Town will take its tax cut when it is expedient (at GM discretion). The taxation will per se not affect the conversion.


SPIRITS

Spirits are not converted from IC because they are a Town racket to raise cash.


SILVER

The basic premise of silver conversion is "you get fixed grams per IC". This has been as large as 32 grams in the very ancient times and now is 2 grams. When we are talking about imported items (wholly paid with IC), the price of silver has risen to be so large as to overshadow the manufacturing cost. So it is possible to simplify the things and use the following formulae for determining the IC price of silver items, whatever kind (assuming silver is the main raw material):

TS16x Silver Coins = no premium   (note: TS162)  <- note that since the coin is 12 CKS, the IC must be divisible by 6!!
Elaborate items = 1 IC/instance + 5%
Most Elaborate items = 2 IC/instance + 10%
Very Elaborate items = 4 IC/instance + 20%

Silver items are to be made realistic size. If you want to make a solid silver tray for instance, their weights range in the real world from 500 g to several kilos. A single soup spoon weighs 50-60 CKS. Silver jewelry is an interesting possibility as it does not need to be more than a few grams and is thus affordable even in very elaborate quality.

Previously Town taxed incoming TS-silver coins in kind (as a % of the coins). This has been streamlined such that 20% of their value is taxed instead and since IC value is 100,000 m/IC (regardless of the market value), the tax per such a coin is 0.6 mil. This will be collected when the conversion period ends, ie. in 1630 next time. If silver/IC rate changes in the meantime, the loss in on the Town.


SWORDS
(original error is corrected)

The troubles in foreign lands have prompted us to reintroduce Swords to the game. (item: Sword and the skill: Swordsmanship, will in later releases be an important personal skill and you get a bonus by starting now.) Due to neglect of the sword making in the Kingdom, proper swords are Imported.

The formula to calculate the level and price of a new sword is as follows:
- Define the parameters
- Add the points
- The number of points will determine your sword level and price
- For backdating (to 1600 the earliest), add 3% for each year to the cost

Parameters
1. Size of the Sword   (1=dagger, 2="dress sword", 3=longsword)
2. Imported   (1 always)
3. Elaborate   (Refers to appearance: 0=None, 1=Elaborate, 2=Most Elaborate, 3=Very Elaborate
4. Powerful   (Refers to all qualities forming the battle value) 0=No, 1=Powerful, 2=Most Powerful, 3=Very Powerful)
5. Base level/cost      (2 always)

Additional rules
1. A sword must be at least 1 point in either Elaborate or Powerful.
2. If a sword is Very Elaborate or Very Powerful, and simultaneously at least 1 point in the other attribute, get 1 point discount in price while the level stays the same.
3. If the character commissioning the sword has never owned a sword in the game, get 1 point discount in the price while the level stays the same. (This bonus may end without warning as the campaign ends.)

With these formulas, it is possible to create K5-K10 swords starting at 10 IC (a K3 dagger for a previous non-owner).

As you can see, some combinations cause the sword to exceed the allowed range of item levels (K10) and are thus disallowed.

There is only one K10 sword in existence in the game, TMA Sword of Mario from 1462.


ART

ART-items are in levels K7-K10 only and thus cost a minimum 100 IC + possible backdating.


Special: PARTICIPATE IN THE "SILVER OBELISK"

Consume IC with the note [obelisk] or silver-containing items with the note [obelisk] for a limited time to get your name to the base of the Closing Obelisk located in the midpoint of the Trust in Economy Square between House of Magnificence (north), Duke of OZ North African Palace (south), Hall of Justice (west) and Clocktower (east). The IC and silver will be used for decorating the Obelisk.


PRACTICALITIES

The admins Sir Mooo and Lord Syksy will make the conversions as follows:
- Mooo responsibility is all the generic items, for which the item code is clearly indicated in the [notes]. He will check the situation in a frequent basis meaning there should not be more than 48 hours delay to get the items.
- Syksy will NEW and CREATE the unique items (including swords). For this to happen, you need to inform him beforehand what you are up to and use the [notes] provided by him.


LOOKUP TABLE THAT SHOWS THE CORRELATION OF ITEM LEVEL AND ITS "BASE COST" IN IC

In case of Swords, it is possible to get up to 2 price levels of discount with the item level staying the same as explained under Swords.

In case of Silver, all IC spent on the material cost and premiums is taken into account when determining level.

Backdating does not benefit in determining level.

Level is always rounded down, eg. K7=100-199 IC

K1 = 1 IC
K2 = 2 IC
K3 = 5 IC
K4 = 10 IC
K5 = 20 IC
K6 = 50 IC
K7 = 100 IC
K8 = 200 IC
K9 = 500 IC
K10 = 1000 IC


It is considered a good practice to donate a few IC (or anything else) to the person doing the conversion for you. You can use the command:

GIVE IC 3 Mooo [Thanks for W1612! ] when thanking for staple items, or

GIVE IC 10 Syksy [Thanks for sword! ] when thanking for unique items.

Thank you King!

Crichton will match donations of silver and IC for the next 24 hours (up to a total of 500 silver and 250 IC).

This is syncronicity, so many things converging at the same time! The Royal House will donate 100*5 CKS silver coins for starters and I am sure the Town is willing to let go of their IC (~500 of it).

Let's do it and show to all the nations!



Yes, and please be very careful here.
The syntax for consuming with a note is:
CONSUME item amount [note]

Remember to have the [ and ] .

* * *

We will soon have a full list of IC-convertibles with Naturalist Mooo guarding the IC and manually doing the conversion. And a few weeks after, the conversion will happen directly with a command such as CONVERT amount_ic new_item.

The most ancient King donates 1*HM02B1000 1,000 CKG gold bar to the most ancient Monero House. This donation is to celebrate the Hydrogen Helix! There will be a coin minted for the occasion soon as well!

Many years ago, the citizens of Crypto Kingdom donated 2079 CKG to gild the Most Esteemed Obelisk in Old Town, one of the first landmarks of the Kingdom.

The year is now 1620, 100 years after the great Trust In Economy era, in which nobody was certain if CK would last or not.

We have since continuted to thrive for another century, and it is time to erect another great monument to celebrate.

Citizens, we must cover the Closing Obelisk in 2-C with Silver! Located in Trust In Economy Square, this obelisk was built in 1599.

It is not yet known how much CKS we need to cover the obelisk, as silver is not as malleable as gold. We are going to need as much as we can get!

Everyone is hereby encouraged to donate as much CKS (or IC) as they can for coating the Obelisk in silver. If you want to donate IC, the conversion rate is 2:1 CKS:IC, for example 2500 IC would get 5000 CKS.

Just CONSUME item amount [obelisk] to leave a note that it is for the obelisk!

Alive and well!

It is Raining Gold this Holiday Season


The Royal Holiday Fund would like to reward:

The Bards: FloWS and Rangedriver for their musical skills. The songs these men wrote will play on the background when playing Crypto Kingdom, coming soon (tm). Both are rewarded 2x HM1600J coin. (also gold coming for whoever can integrate the songs to play on the website)

Papa_Lazzarou for beautifying the map of 9-NE. Very nice details, check it out in the Town Map. Rewarded with HM1600J coin.

Happy New Year Everyone!

The deadline for ALL conversions whatsoever is on Saturday 23:59 UTC, and this is a permanent rule.

The new conversion table will be announced after this time, and the new conversions are in effect once they are announced, until next Saturday 23:59 UTC.

There is probably a gap of a few hours (up to 2 days) when there are no conversions officially possible, since the announcing seldom happens exactly at Saturday 23:59 UTC. Please try not to convert stuff during the gap, as Moneromooo will need to return your IC (or whatever it is that you try to convert from).


Health Challenge will officially end Sunday 23:59 UTC. In practice I am not always awake then so it may delay a few hours. You will see if it has changed, because the same script changes the year (in MyCharacter).

The months, days and time change automatically, but year does not. So unless I manage to change the year exactly at midnight, the game time will seem to go from December 1620 to January 1620, and only to January 1621 when I reset the year, which also resets the health challenge.

Since health challenge operates automatically, every consume until the actual reset counts, and there is no gap when consumes are illegal, unavailable or ineffective. Type "HEALTH" first thing Monday morning to find out whether the challenge is reset or still pending.

A reminder that the deadline for buying these S-B22 shares for SCI is now saturday evening at midnight, rather than the usual sunday evening.

Anyone who supported this campaign: https://forum.getmonero.org/20/general-discussion/2424/help-an-80-years-old-women-bojia-bikova-to-pay-her-fine-for-a-few-uprooted-strings-of-hemp could claim one CK ingame ct1614 (In can we trust Bronze/Copper) from me. All the Monero developers and contributors are eligible too - no need of any contribution to the above campaign. My ct1614 are limited, so I'll give maximum of 42 (that's 10% of all the ct1614 in existence). Write me a PM.

"Mommy, mommy, why is daddy going away ?"

The woman turned to the little girl pulling at her skirt and took her in her arms.

"He's leaving with the King, dearest. He's got important business to do, but he'll be back in a few weeks, don't you worry."

"You look sad, mummy".

"Mummy ?"

The woman turned away with a hint of strain on her face. Her husband was part of the King's cohort of servants, and had to accompany the royal convoy without notice. While it wasn't so often, it wasn't something you could delay.

"He'll be back soon enough. Promise."

She dropped her daughter back to the ground and took her hand as they made their way back to their house, the royal carriage and its attendants now gone, replaced by the usual crowd in the central square. She hoped the trip would be short, but the rumours of the King's ill health hinted at a longer time away, for the sovereign to recover in warmer, gentler climes. Rumours always floated here and there, but the royal physician was there, right next to the King's carriage, so perhaps there was some meat to it this time. Maybe they'd only come back in spring, or even summer ? No, it was doing her no good keeping these thoughts in her head, playing with what ifs. The King would be back soon, and her husband too.

She took on a brisk pace, her daughter walking quicker, trying to match her step.

Thank you, Duke of OZ! I am honored to be in a partnership with you, and I look forward to many more successful business dealings in the future. Cheers!
