@wellenreiter lol well i did quit my job just to work full time on my ideas, (so yeah, needed more time!). hopefully at least 1 becomes a good moneymaker or in the next couple years or i’ll have to go back to a day job!
as for the game and ftc payments… first, i was actually entertaining the idea to make the securities miner site’s paywall be in ftc (and only ftc) and usd. with like a 25% discount in price for ftc. (there is no paywall… not till traffic justifies it) anyway it’d be to see if anyone does it/uses it. i’d love to see it get some regular use.
I’ve looked in to integration,… so far i haven’t liked the amount of work it takes. I really want it to be as easy as install wallet and use wallet api’s to talk to the wallet, but somehow that seems risky. btcpay seems like A LOT of setup. so for now i’ve put it aside.
As for the video game. i’ll definitely think about it, and it’s a long way away… so by then i’ll know what’s what. my big concern is, by then (as it’s a year away) i’ll ~need~ cash flow (due to personal reserves running out) and if ftc’s market is strong then i can consider it, if it’s not then i’ll have to stick with paypal since i can’t risk utility/mortgatge payments on selling at a good price on an exchange.
Also, i’m still not a 100% sure if i’m doing this solo or on steam or some other game network. those other networks though probably wont let me do anything other than their integrated payment system. it’s definitely on my radar though. We’ll see how it goes.
Just when I get an Intel PC for the first time, it turns out their speed increase over AMD is due to and insecure processors’ out-of-order execution to read arbitrary kernel-memory location.
Spectre and Meltdown are side-channel attacks which deduce the contents of a memory location which should not normally be accessible by using timing to observe whether another, accessible, location is present in the cache.
These caches can include personal data and passwords.

I figured out everything i needed. the short version is I’m going to use/got working a sample of openCL . (I tested a local build on different machines each with 2 different graphic cards and all seems to work well)
The long version check out this link https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1116907/How-to-Use-Your-GPU-in-NET you will also need to install intel’s opencl and the latest graphics drivers on the machines you are working on. The final code seems to actually be a script that is compiled at runtime and sent in to the graphics cards. it worked on nvidia and 7990 (2 gpus) and R9 series amds so… seems to work quite well.
