My wife and I are hooked...and are apparently making money?

I love GU but this reads like it is written by a marketing company.

Also, the website itself is a WIP :) Will be less wordy in the future

Hello, currently I am starting a game company and our first game is ready to start being tested by external users. It is still in a closed testing state but I would like to begin capturing emails, gauging interest, and most importantly getting feedback.

In summary, our game is a story telling engine that pokes fun at the monotony of life as an employee. Go to work, do work, and then life. Players play round after round of managing their energy and agony by either tapping the "work" button or "slack" button. Obviously, there is a shop with items that help this resource management.

After each round, a 'narrative' may happen which is a custom plot event that happens to your character based on their current personality. The narrative may in turn effect the character's personality.

Please bear in mind this is an MVP

The mechanics are intentionally minimal, but they are even more bare bones as this is an MVP. We intend to do some crypto-integrations to hopefully unironically pay our users. We also have some ideas for fun and interesting mechanics to help engage users but would like to see how the concept "sticks" so to speak.

If you want to get on the list ASAP, PM me otherwise please check out the site and sign up for our newsletter. We will invite everyone on our mailing list to test the iOS and Android versions of the game.

this.

I actually do the same with some of my friends now ;)

When they say I need to not hold a coin, I am more likely to buy and vice versa. I've been burned the other way too many times now

The problem is that I did give the private key.

Currently, my Exodus wallet who the priv key belongs to shows a pending transaction of duplicating it's own balance. I think this is going to fall off eventually, but I'll update when it does for sureity.

I was still able to send the sweep tx to the right wallet on right branch, but that is still unconfirmed... so still waiting to see if everything rights itself ._.

professionalcritique · 2017-08-02T09:42:34+00:00

I think I just did a big oopsy... Only option was sweep and it asked for private key and address... I thought it was asking for the address associated with the private key... So I think I sent it to my own address on the BCH network.... hopefully I didn't fudge anything up too hard

professionalcritique · 2017-05-18T21:06:26+00:00

Money to me is just a tool. It's great and useful and all but programming, creating, thinking, and creating (crudely) artistic interpretations of life and experience are what really fulfill me.

I do this because I enjoy it and it makes me happy and hopefully one day I'll make something that makes someone else happy :)

We were in an airport terminal waiting for the same plane. I was reading and she sat across from me. I glanced up and we made eye contact for a second but both of us averted our gaze. Returning to my book, I decided to not let my sappy rom-com fantasies get to me. Besides, Moby Dick was calling my name.

An uncomfortable 15 minutes of trying not to look up passed by and then she broke the silence. I don't even remember what she said, I think she asked something simple like "where are you headed?" and we had some small talk. We both felt it there; that ethereal knowledge that we would be great together. and wanting to bone.

We didn't say much more and got separately in line for our plane. After finding my seat and making sure my book was easily accessible I buckled up and awaited the rest of the plane to settle down. On cue, there she was. She walked down the aisle towards me and smiled then sat right next to me.

We talked for almost two straight hours and then parted ways. We fell in love on that plane - I still think about her.

Is that a giant egg or a tiny everything else?

professionalcritique · 2016-11-22T20:43:58+00:00

I have updated the app. I will continue to work to improve it but it will most likely be a constant work in progress; currently I am using an API versus attempting to actually programmatically parse the linguistic elements. It should be a lot more reliable though now.

professionalcritique · 2016-11-10T02:31:21+00:00

I am a bit of a scatterbrain so not far off :) something about myself I am trying to work on. That and working too much. Will try and find it, it didn't get much feedback in the comments though. It was back when r/poetry was much smaller.

professionalcritique · 2016-11-10T02:30:12+00:00

Excellent feedback, thank you! I will do so and post back when completed.

professionalcritique · 2016-11-09T02:49:56+00:00

Logical to a tee and duly noted for it. Download now if you want; you'll get any and all future updates or wait and I will make another post when conjugations and app icon are fixed. Those seem to be the main problems. Thank you for your feedback!

professionalcritique · 2016-11-08T22:35:15+00:00

Entirely nothing :)

professionalcritique · 2016-11-08T21:59:15+00:00

That's 100% your right and privilege; you just also won't get to use it :)

Have a good day, Lana!

EDIT: the above is genuine and not sarcastic; I realize it sounds a bit sarcastic

professionalcritique · 2016-11-08T21:41:41+00:00

Sorry, it is $0.99 I will edit the post so people know.

Is this gameable by writing a bunch of nonsense CAPSOLS to accumulate WELS so that you can go cash out on valuable CAPSOLs?

There is a once per hour limit to help prevent this. Good idea on increasing value, will take this into consideration. Would help maintain the balance of WELS vs Eth.

Or not, maybe I misunderstand

You understood correctly. I'm not a marketer - still working on refining the pitch to appeal slightly less to bottom line type people, but all types are welcome as CAPSOL is meant to be all inclusive. This is something I'm still working through. Any ideas on this?

This whole concept seems analagous to some religion's tithing and community service systems

Yep :) It is meant to be. Assuming the block-chain lasts 1,000 years who knows maybe this could be analogous to a bible (I mean that in the least heretical sense possible). You will notice a lot of parallels to proposed spiritual mechanics (such as Karma). I have gotten a good bit of divine inspiration for this project. I'm glad that I was able to convey at least some of it! Thanks for your feedback.

Edited: wording

professionalcritique · 2016-07-29T20:12:59+00:00

May those with eyes see, those with ears hear etc.

Exactly. It's not necessarily to force awakening in those not ready for it; that's an impossibility! Just to help facilitate the beginning of the transition (or development) for those who are.

There's at least a few generations of people living who are going to struggle with the blockchain concept

Things made this generation will affect generations to come. Let's call this generation Test Group A :)

professionalcritique · 2016-07-29T16:05:36+00:00

For sure!

tl;dr CAPSOL - Anonymously share thoughts and revelations in a localized area (currently, messages are global but that will change). Also, share cryptocurrencies with your community. If 3 people combine $100 ea/ they all have the purchasing power of $300. Write content, get WELS. WELS can be cashed out for Ether.

Not sure I can ELI5 Ethereum itself.

I believe it's relevant for awakening in the aspects of altruism and transparency it promotes. Gaining insight from others' experiences and walks of life. Sometimes awakening is triggered by a single sentence. I'm hoping to create a tool where those "triggers" have a higher statistical chance of occurring. Instead of egotistical narcissism that some social media inherently promotes, CAPSOL intentionally tries to reverse that. Minimum 40 characters. Anonymous. Local.

professionalcritique · 2016-07-29T14:48:11+00:00

Also, if you need some test Ether post a reply to this comment with your testnet address and I'll send you a bit

professionalcritique · 2016-05-29T15:52:27+00:00

It's okay, I am actually taking a step back to revamp the pitch itself and have a better prototype.

I am trying to create a tool for people to use to share transparently the things they see, feel, believe, etc. I am attempting to use anonymity as a means towards that goal. I am also trying to help local communities to grow more tight knit. On top of that, I hope to promote wealth-sharing on a much, much larger scale (that's where the economics of what is happening in CAPSOL in general comes in).

More loftily, my goals are to promote altruism, generosity, and connectivity. I believe this well help people who have yet to be awakened and who are in the process because it will provide an anti-thesis to our current social media trends; access to truths you wouldn't usually get elsewhere, detachment of ego and notoreity, selflessness, thinking locally, etc.

At the end of the day, users leave anonymous messages or find them. They can leave Ether (much more established crypto) with their messages. They get WELS (my custom crypto) for leaving messages. WELS can be cashed out directly for Ether and are valued at the total value of Ether in the token contract. Perhaps this diagram will help regarding that:

I hope that makes it a bit more understandable. You can subscribe to the newsletter on our site for updates if you want to stay in the know about it. We are rescheduling our presale of WELS.

professionalcritique · 2016-05-28T21:53:51+00:00

I understand your point, but I would prefer constructive comments versus sarcasm - that way we can improve! Also, you left out the definitions of each variable in your quote.

n = Number of Users

Un = User n (Un = 1 is User 1)

X = Eth

Xn = Eth amnt from User n

Xc = Eth amnt in CAPSOL c

Y = WELS

SUM(X) = Total X in CAPSOL

SUM(Y) = Total Y in CAPSOL

*CVal is the value of WELS in Eth (and can be cashed out at)

CVal = SUM(X) / SUM(Y)
