Now I am using the remee mask, but I don't like "timer" feature - I'd rather have a mask that detects my REM before starting.

Can you explain if this works at all?

Once you turn it on, the Remee mask waits a couple hours then starts flashing LED lights on a cycle.   The idea is if you are dreaming, you will eventually recognize these flashing lights, giving you god like powers in your dream.   

A better mask (which I cannot find) would detect the rapid eye movement signifying you are dreaming before activating the LED lights.  There was one on kickstarter once, but I don't think there was enough demand.   Education and marketing could really help; Lucid dreaming is incredibly therapeutic and stress relieving.

You can recreate any environment you wish; visit anywhere in the world or even out of this world; make love to your favourite movie star; practice a recital you have tomorrow; or just simply, fly. It's an exhilarating feeling which leaves you with the most profound sense of freedom.

The game will not have tokens or NFTS.   A player will collect ore and once successfully delivered to the station, it can be converted to BTC - there is no actual mining involved.    You have a virtual balance and you can cash out for BTC at any time.

Example: A player will need to purchase a mining ship to mine.  This has a cost, which is deducted from your balance.  If you are starting off and do not have a balance you will need to fund your account.  The game makes money on the premise that most players will not recoup their investment.    The people that log in hourly, build relationships in game and micro manage can make money while having fun.   Or you can research combat and become a pirate.  It's an open game where you set your fees.

I think gaming is about beautiful art. Even is pixel art is art. I always thought this is somewhat hard to make in a game.

I agree!  This is a 2D game so each item on the board can be a work of art.  If a game such as this were to become popular, I could see artists making unique ship designs for a small fee.

First of all, this is not a stand alone game - it's meant to integrate with another project.  Second of all, every number is subject to change    This is just a rough idea.

Asteroid mining has become safe for the average entrepreneur.   On a 2D real time hexagon map, earth is rotating around the sun - this allows many users to start out without direct competition.  As you research new technologies, you'll set up mining operations on the asteroid belt.   Travel is real time and fleets can be intercepted in flight.

You cannot do this alone.   Each day, you get one research point you can put towards a multitude of tech trees.  Even level of the tech tree is double the previous (1 point, 2, 4, 8...) so a player can generalize on many fields or specialize on a few/one.  You'll need to form fleets with other players - a fleet might consist of an advanced miner along with a combat ship.  The player who researches combat technologies will be hired by the miners to protect them.   

Mining will produce bitcoins.   These bitcoins are generated by players purchasing equipment.  Research is free and cannot be accelerated, and you cannot pay your way to win.

I have a lot of experience with databases, so I'm looking for partners with the following skills:

- 2D hexagon game development
- UX Designer (make it easy for a player on phone or computer)
- UI Designer (more about designing and less about implementation. Good at design with perhaps only light HTML and CSS skill)

No marketing or promotion will be needed.  While partners will get all of the a very small sales tax (how the game makes money) and I will not take any cut, it's important to state this is not a money making guarantee.   Do this for your love of real time gaming, or blockchain technology and community recognition. 

I've always wondered why they don't use that energy and knowledge to fix their country first!

Most countries (including the US) don't care about the energy and knowledge of their citizens.     

The way it slides across the screen reminds me of the 1990s

Exactly!   You want the forum to look modern, or you would have stayed with bitcointalk lol. 

I suggest a minimize button on the right, and a cookie to remember the state.  This will allow you to impress new users with crypto info, while not annoying experienced users who don't need it.

Admin - keep in mind adding an animated anything to a page reduces the chances it will stay open when multi browsing.

if no one will do it, i will do it myself for all the committed funds. It's a shame no one was motivated to do it.

Why does anyone have to do anything?  I remember what happened at bct with hundreds of millions in donations.  If people want to donate, and don't need community recognition, they can do it themselves.

let's take the idea to btt

What is btt?   Bitcointalk?  Why are you putting two letters on one syllable?    Bitcoin is two syllables - starting with B and C.    BitcoinTalk should be bct, not btt.

Consider that Bitcoin was originally coined as BTC to meet trading requirements, BTCT would be the the proper abbreviation - unless you are planning to list bitcointalk on an exchange.   

In short - KISS.  BTC - bitcoin,   BCT - bitcointalk
