lauda is ulta sensitive on his version of the same topic. so i posted it here

Bitcoin was never and will never be suited for micropayments.

so why the 8 decimals??.. if not for smaller amounts to be sent

However, I don't understand how you consider e.g. 30$, 50$ and 60$ to be micro payments (WoT packages)?

you can buy things for under $3 on WoT, (500gold)
tanks for under $7


so $1 not ok for bitcoin,
I don't see a valid reason for this; your $1 purchase doesn't need the security of a 1 Exa-hash network.

 but $3 is now? because you love that WoT customers may use bitcoin
as it was only a couple weeks ago that a $3 coffee wasnt good enough for bitcoin
Bloating the blockchain (with coffee purchases)
where is your acceptable threshold. ?

.. wait.. there is no bloat. afterall you dont think that bitcoin needs expanding just yet.

.. wait. a community of 70million gamers just becoming bitcoin friendly.. isnt that extra need.. SOON

Yeah Bitcoin!

I hope later on, steam will accept bitcoin payments tho Cheesy , So that i doesn't have to buy wallets on the internet

That would be very helpful! Can't wait to have this thing implemented in the steam store! Though I am already benefiting on buying discounted steam game with the aid of bitcoin. Smiley

so since this place is becoming a war of ignoring button and deleting comment, i'm creating my own thread on this, without the self moderated crap, because this news actually interest me

this is the news https://blog.bitpay.com/bitcoin-comes-to-online-multiplayer-gaming-giant-wargaming/, they have also acquired the total annihilation IP, which means that TA 2 is on the way with Chris taylor

wow, this is a very huge news in my opinion.

because the games like the ones Wargaming has created (online multiplayer), usually have a very huge number of players who spend hundreds of dollar each on these games.

if a small percentage of them use bitcoin it mean that much money is coming in bitcoin. and not to mention the popularity it is creating which will move towards the mass adoption goal.

p.s. i pray day and night for steam to use bitcoin...

Very very cool, I'm actually shocked that more of these online games haven't already done this. It would be so easy for them to do and would increase profits. Seems like a no brainer to me.

Mmhh the WarGaming community seems not to be that excited when you read their forums.
http://forum.worldoftanks.com/index.php?/topic/483239-buy-tanks-ships-or-planes-with-bitcoin/

Maybe they need a bit more of information to take Bitcoin serious and don't confuse it with Bacon! Cheesy

This illustrates that many people either don't know what Bitcoin is or think it's just a scam.
Awareness campaign needed!

Excellent news! thanks for sharing.  Bitcoin and the Gaming industry is a winner and will certainly help spread btc awareness.

I share this same opinion. Gaming industry is living it's Golden Times, with billions and billions circulating this economy every year (more than the film industry, for example). I think this will be a great positive impact over bitcoin adoption.

Wow. That's good to hear, maybe in future many gaming companies will accept bitcoin for payments and it will surely bring bitcoin more in daily life.

this will be good news for us..if btc goes to gaming industry its mean btc is in grwoing process.will be a promote bitcoin into a currencies..
and btc will grow by the time..

i just hope that more giant industry in gaming will follow, imagines if blizzard, ubisoft, bethesda, will embrace bitcoin, will mean that also more people will begin to use it

i know that there are many gamers, that don't even know what bitcoin is, despite many think the opposite, since gaming = nerd = bitcoin, but it's not always the case...

casual gamers are the primarily target for this kind of adoption

Well I for one will be very chuffed if Blizzard will start to accept Bitcoin payment... not just WOW but in tournaments prizes for games like StarCraft.

The user base is huge and the spectators are even bigger during tournaments. The games like StarCraft have a cult following and these guys will go

ballistic when micro payments are introduced. Imagine micro tipping favorite players within tournaments or even paying pro players for strategy tips.

The opportunities are endless and this will push mainstream adoption through the roof.

Sounds good to me, anything bringing new money into Bitcoin and using Bitcoin as it should be used, is a big positive!

i think if bitcoin wants to go mainstream, gaming is the best bet.

However, the problem is, just adding bitcoin as an option doesn't help much.

It's like even if companies were to suddenly accept zimbabwe dollars, no one would have the incentive to get zimbabwe dollars.

What we need is bitcoin exclusive games.

well in 2011 they launched dradons tale
its more of a interactive faucet/casino, and not so much an action game.

there are other 'farm' faucet games http://www.xapofaucetlists.com/p/xapo-games.html

but i agree there needs to be more mainstream action based games where the currency is not fiat or ingame 'gold' but satoshi's

Again a reason that Bitcoin is still alive. So you see that those who start here such topics as 'bitcoin is dying ...' will always be wrong. The more and more possibilities to use your bitcoins will make it more and more popular.
Great news.

this is good for bitcoin.
and i hope more businesses want to use bitcoin.



Lauda has taken alot of flack recently for being a blockstream shill, maybe he will wake up when he sees 75million people may jump into bitcoin and so more capacity of 2mb+segwit. is the way forward rather than 1mb+segwit+sidchain.
especially revealing mindset of Lauda was when i pointed out his own words
I don't see a valid reason for this; your $1 purchase doesn't need the security of a 1 Exa-hash network.

so it was my message that prompted lauda to moderate his posts..

that aside, lets get more people to want bitcoin, not altcoins. and try to keep bitcoin as the better currency of use
