Bitcoin?

So, i did do some searching to see if this have been brought up before, and i found nothing. So i have a few questions, im not some "Noob" asking for free premium and im not some kid that cant use mommy and daddies credit card. I dont have a credit card and dont use one, yes i only buy what i can if i have the cash for it. I'm 18, so none of this "kid" crap please. Now back to topic, my first question is would KAG support bitcoin? if you dont know about Bitcoin its a crypto currency that is not backed by a central authority, yes it has value and is backed by the processing power used to mine the bitcoins which in return also keeps the network running smooth and safe. For any KAG devs you might wanna take a look into this link on how to incorporate it into your business https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Merchant_Howto and also if you want to know more about bitcoin itself and how it works go here http://bitcoin.org/about.html Now if you guys dont want to bother i understand its not my place to say, i have heard a few people in the bitcoin community talking about this game and how they hope in the future you guys would accept BTC, now you might wonder well what do i do with these "bitcoins" after i have them, well take a look at https://mtgox.com/ you can trade these bitcoins for several different types of currency. I know this may be asking to much or out of the question, but if you guys accepted bitcoin it would open a new wave of possible customers. The current Mtgox exchange rate for one bitcoin is around 5.30$ USD, i would gladly pay 2 BTC for this game no problem (id have been premium awhile ago lol). Now like i said i checked and havnt seen anything posted on this yet, so i just thought id bring it up for discussion. And also another question is by chance do any KAG devs or trusted members work with bitcoin in a way that i could work with someone and get premium? if not its understandable. Thank you for your time. *P.S Mods if this is the wrong section please feel free to move this thread. And if this has been discussed before i apologize before hand.

 

I've always seen Bitcoin as a fruitless scam; I think others would agree.

No central authority? Who do you think owns bitcoin.org, convincing 'merchants', like sheep, to give up valuable cpu? It seems like a form of botnet, only voluntary.

And if you are so willingly to buy premium using bitcoin, why haven't you used mtgox to pay? Because it's a scam, perhaps, with similarities to the obligatory 'survey' system? I can see illegitimacy just by looking at the mtgox site... Rather than any useful interface that would be used by already-existing members, it only hosts its own advertisement.

Yes, from what I understand, these 'miners' rent out high-grade, dedicated hardware, to the central system. The central system then makes profit via selling these calculations to research-based organizations, such as the protein-synthesis one you might have heard of. The number of miners increase exponentially, as per the plan of the bitcoin economy, leading one to assume the amount of mining does as well.

This might be disillusioning (read: horrifying): http://blog.ohinternet.com/8452/bitcoin-mining-for-comedy/

 

@ Hatsumei, well i kinda said i dont use a credit card. so i dont have a bank account. so how would i transfer bitcoins on mt. gox? it depends on how you look at it i guess, noone has the same opinion, china has accepted bitcoin as a form of acceptle currency but thats also debtable per say, My opinion to it is neutral and if it was a bot net in a way it would be gone of my system in a heart beat with any irregularities detected. I left hacking and wont look back, but none the less i respect your opinion and thank you for at least participating.

@BlueLuigi i know i know, i knew id get crap for it but i was in a rush, trust me i know already lol, i'm a little bit of a grammer nazi at times just not this time.

@Furai ah well that disappoints me but i do thank you for taking the time to at least reply to my question thank you.

 

China? That seems a bit ironic.

 

I know that was my first thought when i heard about it in the bitcoin community lol, but who knows, wouldn't be surprised china would want a virtual form of currency either though, governments aren't to bright now a days, that is if they ever were lol.

 

Oh, I didn't mean to offend or anything, and of course I didn't bother to do any extensive research (Most of my bias stems from my own personal experience, believe it or not, in 2009). Mining has always been done in pools for the public user, but I do believe there do exist dissidents who use dedicated hardware.

On the hash thing, I retract all statements, and urge you to disregard thus, as I have a certain penchant for long, hard, objects.

With that, good day.

 

I know but they way banks have been going in america the past 40+ years, its hard to put any trust into them when they have royally screwed the country. Thus leading to me not having a bank account right now, my grandpa grew up during the great depression, before he passed he taught me some things i go by, 'When the government says everything is ok. Its time to panic, Always be prepared for the worst and be careful who and what you trust'. And i'm currently unemployed "thanks to the mass amount of older folks *no offense* trying to take jobs that should be below them, the few jobs i have been able to get ahold of they usually have no problem paying in cash as long as i did the work.
but besides that and my random bickering thank you for responding to the thread and giving some good feedback, One reason indie games are loved by me personally, They actually care about the user's, Thank you, be safe, and take care

 

get a friggin bank account

 

Lol i don't trust government. i thought i made that clear, from personal experience i've seen them screw up way to much to put any faith in them. The Forefathers did not want us to trust banks much less let them control our federal reserve. They would be ashamed of us. I Don't have a bank account for a reason. But we all have our opinions, be safe and take care

 

This means you are not allowed speak on the matter in an authoritative fashion.

I don't trust the government, hell I'd be willing to bet that almost no one trusts the government. I and everyone else still have a bank account because I like it when I have money to buy food and occasionally a vidya gaem. Most jobs pay by cheque or direct debit to your account. Being paid cash is increasingly rarer in society unless you're avoiding tax. At the very least get a Credit Union account and some form of Online payment option similar to 3v. I'm not sure what things you have out in your neck of the woods but 3v is basically a card that you use to create temporary debit cards for use online.

Stops me from owning a credit card and I can still independantly buy stuff online without having to ask anyone to borrow theirs. Personally I'm opposed to credit cards, I think any sort of item that promotes you getting into debt is a bad thing.

 

Any news about this topic?
Are you going to accept Bitcoin as payment?
(I'm not asking to accept Bitcoin "only")

There are some payment processors to make it easier:
https://bitpay.com/
https://coinbase.com/
(but there are probably others...)

Humblebundle is also accepting them :)

 

if anyone is desperate to buy KAG using bitcoins PM me and we will sort it out.
