No I dont escrow anymore.
I would love to play Minecraft and be able to earn actual BTCs by mining, instead of useless diamonds. This could make mining a lot less of a time waster. Of course severe anticheating would be needed to avoid exploits.

Watch at around minute 17. Microtransactions are the future and they solve the country related barriers, fees and so on. But in super small transactions, isn't the transaction fee you give to the miner bigger than the actual transaction? how will this work¿?

Well I tend to imagine I there would be a service that hold Bitcoins that could handle the transactions so users didn't have to pay an unreasonable fee.  I smile when I think of Gamers using Bitcoins it just sounds right and feels right to me.

Yes.. Still asking for that game, build around "Gold Rush"  Grin

1. Stake a claim
2. Mine virtual gold
3. Sell for BTC
4. Buy bigger hardware, and mine more BTC
5. Build a full scale mining operation.

All build around a Sim Farm style game. With a town, where you can spend your satoshi. {Bars / Canteen / Hardware store}

Only difference is, you pay with real coins/satoshi's.

Advertisements within the game, generate the "gold" that can be mined in the game. {Shops have ad space} Coke/Pepsi banners etc.
