@letsPlayaGame, How about a 2017 game?

Announce a date and give the board a month or so to gather it's forces before you school us again. Smiley

Time permitting I would be interested in doing that later this year!

Meanwhile here are a few polls for Bitcoin loving chess players:

If you play #chess AND own #Bitcoin, which scaling path do you prefer (SegWit MASF, SegWit UASF or Bitcoin Unlimited)?


Will the price of #Bitcoin (in either USD or EUR) pass the #Chess rating of @MagnusCarlsen by the end of 2017?

I want to give away some BTC, XMR, support chess and encourage people to move away from PayPal.

Help me identify popular chess channels on  YouTube, Twitch, etc willing to accept donations in Monero and Bitcoin. Any channel that adds a donation address will receive a tip.  I will be much more generous if they accept Monero (but will also support Bitcoin) because of my interest in privacy. The most generous tips will be received by popular chess channels that talk about Monero in a video.

https://twitter.com/ChessBTC/status/797598651698843648

To be clear I support Chess and cryptocurrency but am not and have never been a supporter of ChessCoin. If you read my post history you will understand why.

OK, but I think what is first for those who understand how things are done in the world is pay an agent or evangelist to contact and tutor existing chess channels on what you want to do, and how to do it.  Someone needs to walk them through it, and I gather you might be too busy to do that.  So, offer someone a bounty for this position, and since I recommended it, I will take it up if you're interested.  I like the game of chess and have been wanting to get back into it.

I will make time to explain Monero or Bitcoin to any chess player that expresses an interest. I personally am not in favor of paying bounties to others for something I am doing for free. However please share any ideas you have to promote crypto adoption within the chess world here or here so that we don't dont get off topic in this thread.
 

OK, we'll see what gets done.

There is nobody on Bitcointalk that knows more about chess than I do. Not everyone listened to my prior warning, so I will share the link once more. Stop buying this coin. No serious chess player believes there is any workable model to play chess for money (or chesscoin prizes of any significant value) anonymously online.

Avoid Chesscoin. Tons of red flags:

1. Greedy ICO model with trading happening on Yobit before ICO has ended
2. Social media signature campaign, and strange relationship with BellaCoin while ICO is still running
3. ICO funding page and BCT announcement are very unprofessional. No evidence they have the competence to create a site similar to chesscube.com as they claim: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1510517.100
4. Anonymous or pseudonymous online chess tournaments with significant prizes will not work due to the strength of chess engines today
5. Even if they could build the chess playing platform they describe, Chesscoin would add no value. Bitcoin would work just as well. BTC network effects are far more important that any chess "branding" of a cryptocurrency
6. You will not find one well known chess player, tournament sponsor or chess website to endorse Chesscoin.
7. This project is appears solely designed to make money for its "developers" and will do more harm than good for the reputation of cryptocurrency within the chess community

This is the same guy that bashed this project when it is just started but so far chesscoin has come a long way their is a guy in the Bigup community that keeps bashing the project and he ask 4 bitcoin just to stop bashing Bigup coin we are now seeing it maybe this guy will ask the dev for 10 bitcoin just to stop bashing this project..

I ask the community to give this guy a negative trust ..

I have never heard of Bigup coin and have not asked anyone for Bitcoin. If sharing my opinions about a potential scam results in a negative trust rating then I have no problem leaving Bitcointalk.

Stalemates are not the result when computers play against each other. The stronger engine usually wins.

Draws (without stalemate) are the most common result in high level chess. This is even more true for computers than humans, simply because computers make fewer mistakes.

In any case, bitcoin can be used to fuel any platform. You don't need an alt.

I agree.

You are making yourself look worse with your baseless accusations. I never asked for anything from the developers. I want no involvement in this project.

Re: Help! 5 things I think I know about crypto. Are they all wrong?

I would like to invite you to see the chesscoin thread,it's an ambitious project and probably one pf the project worth getting into,they are on the ICO mode and surprisingly traded already traded on Yobit,

The dev initially wants ask the Yobit team to accept them after the Ico but they readily accept it ..

As the best chess player here I am willing to affirm that Chesscoin looks like a horrible project. The ICO setup is among the most greedy I have seen, they have done nothing to demonstrate the technical competence to deliver what is promised and it is already trading on Yobit (during the ICO).

Stay away

To the OP, avoid all projects where the promoters frequently talk about potential rate of return. Focus on learning more about cryptography. Most alt coins are just clones with nothing but a different marketing angle meant to attract those without much knowledge.

Of the 5 coins you mentioned in the OP, BTC is my favorite and XRP is my least favorite. Don't trust me or anyone else posting in this thread. Conduct more research and avoid rash decisions.

Sometimes the best investment decision is to make no investment at all.

Without question this is a horrible idea. The ICO model is extremely greedy and development is focused on ideas that will not work. Any online chess tournament with significant prizes will attract bots strong enough to beat the best players in the world.

No evidence of Chess DAPPs ideas of any value have been presented. I see lots of buzzwords and zero substance.

Serious chess players will avoid this ICO like the plague.

We mainly focused on rapid chess.
Are you interesting in playing chess?
If yes, you can visit this site: Chesscube.com
Chesscube fueled by virtual currencies (Chess Cubit or Crow which are centralized virtual currencies). You're just able to deposit fiat money, buy their Cubit or Crown to play and cannot withdraw your money. ChessCube is still working very well with thousands of games played everyday.

The clear idea we are pursuing is that you will have an advanced Chess Application fueled by a decentralized cryptocurrency.  

You obviously have not read my post history. Without question I know more about Chess than anyone else on Bitcointalk. I am not going to waste my time arguing with you.

Becoming an alternative to fiat is not a worthy reason to invest in your ICO. Thousands of existing cryptocurrencies can already offer that.
