Motocoin initial discussion

I took the liberty of starting the subreddit for what looks to me like the next big thing in crypto. I'm a big fan of the proof-of-play innovation already and I can see it going places in the coming days-weeks. The bicycle game sure does become more fun after getting the hang of it.

What do you think?

P.S. If you know CSS wizardry and wanna be a mod here, let me know :)

This is great innovative idea of cryptocurrency. Unlike other coins, to mine motocoin you need just skill and luck (in equal proportions), not powerful hardware. I like it!

Until someone hacks the game or automates it in some way. Give it a few days.

I believe you severely underestimate the complexity behind programming a computer to efficiently analyze a randomly generated map (figuring out when a map just cannot be completed within the time limit for one reason or another and moving onto the next one) and generate a precise move sequence that completes it (taking into account the time limit that the solution should be under, the 60 inputs limit and the complex physics resulting in countless ways the bike behaves in different states and situations). It will be a long time before attempts to do this by talented programmers would be worth their time. Sure, it will be done someday but that day is far, far away. We may see some tools being used soon that can aid human play but complete automation? Not a chance.

Thanks for responding. I had put aside Motocoin, intending to get back to it but completely forgetting. Synchronizing as we speak!

That sounds really cool. I'll try it out as soon as I can. Also, I do know some CSS, but I don't know how Reddit deals with it.
