The game should be playable on mobile phones. It would appeal to the broadest range of users if the theme wasn't based on cryptocurrencies just the in-game credits.

Agreed. In-game currency wouldn't have to be called NXT. In honor of CfB, we could call them 'Roobles' and they could look like rubies.

You can issue an Asset for the ingame currency. NXT would be the largest denomination that would also be in the game for the big treasures, but for most common use it could just be the Roobles. If you want the Roobles to float in value against NXT, then just let the Asset Exchange do its thing. If you want it to be tied to NXT, you can just put bid/ask at a fixed exchange rate.

Also, I dont see why to limit to a single game. Games are BIG! I suggest keeping track of all the ideas and start with the fastest to get working. Doing something simple is a great learning experience. Then the second game becomes more ambitious, etc.

James

P.S. Please keep track of all the donations that come in for this, I have a feeling the total will become quite large, especially if you offer ingame Vorpal swords to big donors

Do we have a "*cough* centralized *cough* spot where all the different designed logos, wallpapers and such are stored?

I've been thinking of designing a few clothing items with the logo on them. To start some simple sweaters, t-shirts and scarves.

My brother has an advertising agency and has been doing this (amongst other things) for 15 years. He could make some worthwhile stuff.

Nxtopia

Ezravdb, Damelon, EvilDave, Uniqueorn, and all other geeks/gamers -- let's do this!

Nxtopia is just a working title. I'm off for a little bit to go pick up my fiancé, but hopefully there will be other enthusiastic gamers here so we can start bringing a manageable shape to this idea.

I think this is a great idea and would like to start a directed bounty fund for it. I will start with 5000 NXT bounty for a working game. I hope others will also support this. In game currency is very valuable to the gamers and with NXT as the in game currency and millions upon millions of gamers, well that is a good combination.

It also gives a direct use scenario for NXT.

Very good idea! Just need to refine it more. I bet once it has a monetization plan, you will find NXT investors to fund the development.

James

Salsa, James -- thank you for the huntercoin tip!

With our community, and the AE, I have no doubt at all that a Nxt-based MMORPG will be a 'massive' 'game' changer (did you see what I did there?)

James, I have limited funds but I will match 10% of your bounty and put up 500 NXT. Does it go to the community fund address (13776816462073143763)?

Will get caught up on the last two pages and start coalescing everything going on in my noggin.

EvilDave -- yes, my gaming time has gone to *0* since Nxt.

Yes, just post txid and denote it as a directed donation. You can then do what TwinWinNerD did with tipbot, eg. call for more donations and become the project evangelist. The more people that become actively involved in projects, the better. My charter as trustee is to listen to the community and what better way than to help enable projects from the community? This is something all of you that are lurking can do, even if you dont have the programming skills, all you need is to be able to know what you would like. Then if others also like it, donations come in and the bounty gets big enough until somebody that can do it and also likes the idea, does it.

Who want some TestNxt ?

I'm still on a steep learning curve but would be happy to help as a tester provided inexperience no barrier.

Assuming it isn't, how do I participate?

I agree with BCNext. NXT's core shouldn't rely on trust.

+1

Right, we have different options and ideas, what we can do with Nxt, AE and Coins-on-Top. Could we keep this in mind when we discuss game tokens, loans, trust-api, ... Maybe it is crystal clear for the smart ones but I want to be sure that everyone is on the same track.

Come-from-Beyond, how difficult would it be to add a feature to the asset exchange allowing accounts to trust other accounts for a certain asset up to a specific amount? The system would have to be able to handle shifting debt balances.

Not very hard.

Great!

I believe only two new api calls would be required. One api call to give trust and one api call to remove trust.

Can you please add these functions to the AE?

It's not easy enough to add it right now.

Ok. Hopefully in the future, we can implement a social credit system in the AE, if the community agrees.

Trust noone - this is a very important principle. Nxt doesn't rely on trust ...

edit2: Or is this asset stuff?

This is AE stuff. We are basically talking about making all assets loanable.

If you purchase an asset on the AE, you are trusting the issuer. This is true until the autonomous gateways/exchanges start.

I agree with BCNext. NXT's core shouldn't rely on trust. Trusting your friend or neighbor with money is not what he meant, imo.

With all the donation-, game token-, micro loan- and what ever-projects rising... shouldn't we talk about that now? If we build awareness with NXT as donation/gametoken/loans and in a few weeks, we have coins on top of NXT which suits much better for this stuff, what happens next?

- my opinion: coin on top of Nxt can only be centralized coin. Or PoW-coin, like Lukshme. That centralized coin is absolutely different story (then Nxt). I see no reason to complicate Asset Exchange, as a part of Nxt, with a "trust".

I'm going to get my cute ass into bed here in Europeland, but before i go:

Reposted from promotion thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=412243.new#new

Here's my productivity for the day: some sweet shiny stickers:

Aren't they pretty ? I now have no idea what to do with them......like to distribute them to the NXT posse, but not sure how.

Any one want some, let me know.....I've only got a 100 so far, so it'll probably only be 5 or 10 stickers per person.
They are 140mm x 40 mm, btw.

EDIT: I'll figure out prices/postage etc sometime Wednesday...the 100 cost €45, but this was just a test run.
In the future I can get the price down a lot if we order larger quantities.

Kodtycoon...don't sweat the price right now. Its good to see a stable sell-off like this. NXT is slowly rolling up and being sold off at the same time, which is a hard trick to do. I expect we will see a massive price surge when the whales stop/slow the sell-off, but when that will be....

I'd like to get my hands on few of them as well!
As I'm also from euroland the postage shouldn't be to much (I will pay for that of course)

I think if you designed a few with a clear back i.o. black, that would also be nice on laptops and such.

Unclaimed coins funds and committees...

Three committees will be created:

NXTinfrastructurefund (more hardware related, VPS, clients)

- I think it is no need in NXTinfrastructurefund, because we can not fund hardware in order to keep Nxt network. That would be a centralisation.

I think more about VPS or infra for 1000TPS

Count me in, but we need a place to discuss the game and ideas about it

IRC channel?

Yes, IRC, reddit, free php board... somewhere we won't piss off the normal people here.

edit: I created Nxtopia over at irc.foonetic.net.

Will Nxtopia be a mobile app?

We discussed this a little in the IRC. Uniqueorn brought up a good point that it may be hard to convince either apple or google to allow an app that does payments that don't go through their payment system. But the plan is to make the game light enough that a smartphone can run it.

5000 -- jl777 (I think via community fund?)
1000 -- Pandaisftw
1000 -- MyZhre
1000 -- swartzfeger

+ 5000 from me

I think its a brilliant idea.. would like to help with idea and other stuff if I can..
Will this include being able to craft things and then sell them to gain NXT to buy other stuff in the game?

+2000 from me for now.

I'm thinking about having items be represented by assets, thus they can be traded freely outside of the game. So yes, you can sell your super-rare asset for NXT, or vice versa. The game will have it's own in-game currency, which will be exchangeable for NXT anyways, but at least it will buffer rapid price movements (plus we can do things like modify the rate of supply of the in-game currency which we cannot do with NXT directly) - I will have to think about this more, however.

Excellent, with a 29,500 NXT sale on DGEX I have helped us to cross the 500,000,000 NXT mark on DGEX alone! =D

We have traded far more than half of the entire currency in the past few months. Well done everyone!

Wow! And that's DGEX alone?
If you add the numbers for Vircurex and Bter that's even a more impressive amount!
