Any feedback at all on this? Are the lack of purchases due to the overly-cute GUI making you feel embarrassed to be seen playing it? I've been telling him for a while to replace words with images of guns and to replace the photo of the slick-looking Charles Ponzi with a kitten being lit on fire.
I don't really see why a game couldn't have all words represented as images of guns. I'm sure there's a font out there for that.

Another price adjustment. Bump!

Prices (in BTC) lowered again. Added image links for current price in OP since dynamic images no longer work on forum.

Raised prices due to BTC dip. (I partially pay dev in USD)

Looks like a very cool financial simulator. I will check it out.

Hmm, I've never heard of Wall Street Raider before. I'll definitely need to check it out as I've become increasingly interested in the stock market.

Price will remain in effect until/unless BTC price drops below $500 on BSTP.

After days of talking (technically, since 2011), it looks like Wall Street Raider is now "sort of" for sale for BTC. The full version (with digital manual) is regularly priced at $29.95, while the "lite" version (without manual) is available for $19.95. Coins are worth the equiv of $1000, here!
Full - BTC.02995
Lite - BTC.01995
Wall Street Raider is one of my favorites. It's not a very pretty game, but the level of depth and complexity is unmatched by anything in the genre, and it's extremely difficult to believe it was all coded by one guy. In Wall Street Raider, you play an outlandishly wealthy individual, competing either against AI or other humans. Your goal is to (wait for it...!) accumulate the most money. WSR has a near-endless way of earning (and losing) money, containing such details as a dynamic interest rate affected by market forces (including you, should you be large enough) and the Federal Reserve (or appropriate central bank based on the currency you select.... BTC support not yet added), short and long Treasury bonds, interest rate swaps, corporate bonds, commodities trading, futures trading, unique industry types (aside from each industry having a unique set of random events, some are mechanically different in operation), and 11 different forms of taxation (and many write-off events).
Summed up another way: there is no other game ever created where there is a dedicated button to manually "prepay your income tax."
There's really no way for me to describe all the different ways to play (outside of writing large walls of text). Luckily, there's a shareware version which'll give you a pretty solid idea of all the different ways to experiment: http://www.roninsoft.com/download.htm
WSR currently only runs natively on Windows, but should function fine on (at least) Parallels, Crossover, or WINE (run the shareware version, first, though).
This offer is not currently available through Roninsoft's site. Instead, you have to PM me your name (or other identifier) and email address. This is then forwarded directly to the developer who'll personally send you a copy of the program with proper registration data in it within two days (probably within a few hours). You can PM me for a unique bitcoin address, or send me the proper amount of coins to 1FZzNjTtFNLuFFFKX2U2fWdT7jLR6bseTc and sign a message with the address you sent from with your name and email address.
Updates (excluding hotfixes for bugs) are sold for $9.95, but always include major new gameplay elements. Updates are currently only available for BTC if you have previously purchased a full game with BTC, and at a 10% discount over the USD price. Escrow through an automated service is acceptable (I'll pay the fee for the first three purchases).
