Sure, as soon as there's a bunch of people who have filled it in I'll be publishing it. So far traffic has been rather low ;-)

That's the biggest issue - games need to be fun! It's nice if players don't lose all the assets they've earned through their time spent, but in the end they'll only keep playing if the game is actually fun.

So far this typically was what happened. Times are changing, though, so it's not easy to predict whether alts will see a similar pump as in late 2017. After all, more people are somewhat educated nowadays and chances are they won't be pumping all kinds of shitcoins next time. Otoh, every new ATH brings crypto to the attention of new people, so all kinds of alts may find new fans. Wouldn't surprise me either.

Traditionally, also alts have had higher leverage on an overall market movement (both ways, up and down), which imo is correlated with the fact that most alts are traded mostly against BTC (or ETH, for that matter). Therefore, if they want to buy, let's say, STEEM, they would have to buy BTC with USD first (which would bring the USD/BTC price up), and then the would buy STEEM with BTC, pushing the STEEM / BTC price. This obviously only happens if a lot of people do that, but could explain why we've been seeing that a lot in the past.

So you mine coins by watching ads and solving captchas?

And why would you democratize earnings by burning coins from advertisers rather than paying them to consumers of ads?

Haha, that's great - we've also been toying with the idea of an open-world game where you could find, mine and loot tokens that get airdropped. How are you doing the gamedrops at the moment? Is the game live already?

I like that you're promoting blockchain gaming. I love blockchain games! Many of them get boring after a while, but the later ones have gotten better and better. There's also an increasing number of games that are actual free-to-play games, with the difference that you keep control of your assets and you could even make money from playing.

A good example is https://www.cryptoswordandmagic.com/, and a whole bunch of similarly high-quality games are in the making like https://www.chainclash.com/, https://www.csc-game.com/ or https://blankos.com/. Awesome times ahead!

It's a bit of an educational purpose, combined with herd mentality arguments why more people should be buying Bitcoin. It was just an idea, seems it's being taken kinda controversially, but that's exactly what I was trying to figure out :-)

You. I really don't want to touch or facilitate your money or your purchases :-)

I don't want to touch your money - it's simply a bunch of people who say "hey, I'm buying BTC every month". I'll update OP to reflect that better :-)

It's just a group (actually it's more like just a board) to be able to display crowd activity. If someone sees that many people are doing something they might be more encouraged to do the same thing, too. It's not about facilitating that at all - I don't want your money :-D

Is there anything the mined coins can be used for? What's the economy behind the coin? Why should anyone actually *use* Idena?

So, for anyone interested I've set up this Google Form. As soon as I find the time I'll link that to a Google spreadsheet and we'll see how far this will get us:

Everybody should do whatever they think is best and what they feel comfortable with. I prefer the automation; if it's about long-term investing it's the equivalent of buying ETFs or stock regularly. However, never put any money in crypto that you can't afford to lose (at least up to this point).

Thanks a lot. Which country are you based in? This sounds bad. Do you have a credit card? You could try a service like https://buy.carbon.money/ that doesn't require fully-blown KYC.

Yeah, that's what you'd ideally do, but this gives people room for excuses like "it's not low / high enough to buy / sell" or that they simply didn't think about it or didn't pay attention. Automation is the beauty of the entire thing. Coinbase is a pretty legit player that offers recurring purchases. I'm not affiliated with them, I was just very happy when they started offering this.

"Club" is very much said. I don't want this to be a formal club, so there isn't gonna be any benefits, nor would there be any cost associated. You can view this as a group of lobbyists simply expressing they're doing a certain thing to show others that there's a lot of people doing that thing.

Thanks! I don't at all want to publicly inform anybody about the amount of crypto anyone holds. I would just display some kind of nickname (or just a number) and the amount of $ equivalent they announce they buy every month. Would that be okay for you?

That's exactly the reason why I would do it :-)

I know a Telegram group is technically not difficult to set up, but the whole point of that is to have
1. A funnel where like-minded people / club members could actually find one another (could be a small landing page or this thread)
2. An overview of how many people are committed to the cause

I can obviously take care of all of this myself (or have people help), but definitely want to check how much interest there is for such an initiative before actually moving forward.

That's true. 50$ per month is probably more like it, but I've also seen people buying tiny amounts of crypto (literally 5$) with credit card repeatedly.

The fact that Bitcoin isn't mature, yet, is exactly why I think it makes sense to invest small amounts continuously. If something like John McAfee's prediction (I know) ever happens, having bought BTC for a few hundred bucks over time will have tremendous impact.

I'm not even sure they need to prove it, just commit to it. I was originally thinking about kind of a simple website (could even be a spreadsheet) where people submit an alias and their monthly $ amount, but having a social component (which could be as simple as a Telegram group) would also be great. We could also do it in here, but I don't have much experience with how to set that up ;-)
