Yeah, that game idea is still great. What annoys me a bit is that at this point you can't join for free. I mean I 100% understand that we need to support the developers and that you somehow have to enter the ingame market, but what makes steemit so attractive for new users is that they can join entirely free. They can try the system and than later decide if they want to invest in it or not. Hash Rush is still going to be BIG in my opinion.

Hi @goodguymate - I'm also on the Hash Rush team, and wanted to comment that your exact point is something the Lead Game Producer and Chief Game Economist are putting a lot of time into figuring out, and the current idea, although not set in stone, is to allow for the tutorial and early stages to be played without requiring any payment.
We'll confirm when we can, but the plan is to allow players to, just as you say, try it for free.
Thank you for the answers, you guys are awesome :)
Hi @goodguymate, you make a fair point. We've decided on this model on the basis of a few reasons. You're right in that we need to be able to support our development team, but on top of that, we also want to make sure we can maintain the right amount of hashing power to Hash Rush players via our mining farm and release future updates/DLC's for instance. We want to create an immersive and unique strategy game, but we realised that if we want to do it well, this is one of the choices we have to make.
