Doing so would be problematic -
updating NCR honestly really isn't an issue right now. Frankly, I'm not even sure why there'd be a concern to even touch it if it's remaining functional, unless there was a desire to do a full fork of both the platform and its financial system... but there was hardly a tie to begin with, so nothing is exactly lost if one or the other collasped -
-
then.... okay? Then wouldn't the snapshot be taken when he resigns? Even then, not like the dev team or the new magical CEO would get the wallet file, unless it was marked as company property -
why wouldnt they?
-
Considering it's been more than a year, the 'lord and savior' of this channel hasn't even consulted a lawyer, nor has talked to the team regarding any form of negotiations (if the last outburst is to go by), I wouldn't hold it against them to follow protocol with the transfer of assets correctly, let alone the fact of there being multiple entities of which it could (or could not) be located under -
Why did NCR need to be so tightly integrated with neos anyways? Wouldn't have having it as an addon be better for allowing user choice? That's what I thought NCR was supposed to be treated as when someone explained it to me the first time. -
I can't speak on behalf of the devs, but... -
In a nutshell, that was the proposal given when all this stuff started to go south and no agreement could be made. By creating a finances API of sorts, it'd allow other services to be possible, with NCR being dubbed the 'official' add-on for NeosVR's financial system, or something to the lines of that -
That's what I thought it was gonna be -
however, as it stands, it's hardly tied in at all. If ETH's entire system went into a blazing infernal, taking all the token systems along with it, NeosVR would still function just fine. -
Fair. I just wish I could have been able to choose not to contribute to the NCR market with my Patreon sub -
I mean, you can opt out, but I'd strongly advise against that. Part of the reason is because the NCR you receive can be used to increase your storage space further, even if you drop the patreon rankings -
None -
Tracked keyboard worked great. Just wish there was a better way to detect user clicks. -
It's not tightly integrated.
The reason it's a thing to begin with is to help fund Neos development.
It's been being sold to users since 2018 or something, and serves several purposes. So when you push that it should be some third party addon it's kind of inconsiderate to all of those users who put their money into Neos.
If you don't want to interact with NCR, just play with the Steam client or ignore it on standalone which is extremely easy to do. -
-
I did not put money into NCR, but I did put time into it
A whole month of work during MMC22 and I end up with storage tokens (which is fine) instead of usable currency
of course the spirit of a competition should not fall on the idea of prize money, but the anticipation of a large reward disappearing under your nose is a bit of a discouragement
really the failure of NCR would be the only reason so many people would want it third party in the first place: why would you want a direct connection of that to your platform? Not to add to everything else that Neos and the team are under so far
everyone got crossed, I've given up on it and I as well as others notice this and want it sidelined -
-
Why fund a project with something that could lose its value in days? Like, if it had mechanisms to prevent that it'd be different, but, y'know, the NCR crash. -
I mean, I used, bought and sold NCR for commission work in Neos, so I’m not anti crypto, I used it for the very purpose it was made for. I’m just antagonised by this thing and the stalemate attached to it that I just want it gone.
It could of worked.
It didn’t work.
Strip it out and move on.
I want the project to live and thrive, and I’m happy to have NCR dragged out into third party or whatever for that to continue without this total halt. -
ncr alone, not really; but the eth used to mint ncr, yes
who knows where all that has gone, though
by now the only funding is the neos patreon that helps keep the servers alive
along with the rest of the neos team putting in seemingly countless hours into keeping neos running, a truly dead platform would be barely usable a year in and it's been two -
Fair
Karel has given an impossible ultimatum. He can't seriously think anyone would come to replace him with neos in its current state. -
the thing is, no one needs to replace him
there is not necessarily any person that needs to fill that role, if i remember correctly it's been mentioned already that the neos team as a whole can perform all of his responsibilities -
-
That too, and if someone replaces him we could have this whole situation all over again depending on who shows up -
-
-
-
-
-
*sigh* here we go again.... -
I can’t, I’m not going to get involved.
I don’t care if it stays or goes. I just want this unique and lovely project and community to get some lifeblood back.
I will agree to disagree and leave it at that, Orc. -
ok.. you don't care either way, but just wanted to say you disagree. Got it.
-
It seems lots of people want to post how they don't really care about this thing, yet want it to be removed from those who do care.
Then they try to manifest reasons why or vaguely gaslight with "it failed, time to pack it up" and hope the devs see their thoughtless comments and agree (and probably do). -
Im here to disagree and show that some of us still want it in Neos, still believe in our own decentralized currency in a metaverse, and still want respect for those people who pit their money in for years, thinking they were funding Neos, and still believe it would be a beautiful thing if those people eventually got rewarded when(if) Neos gets bigger.
-
The problem is that the one person who could be making such arrangements is also as present as a blue moon. The team is aware that many people have funded it via NCR, and that some people were even drawn to Neos because of it. A full removal had to be done on the Steam build, which was the primary way to get the title until they were forced to modify their professional build for normal use.
Additionally, crypto has had a lot of negative light attached to it, is the common source of many current scams, and has a fluxuating value so unstable, it's useless in trade. This has led to many potential users from other platforms (not just VRChat) decline outright due to concerns or troubled pasts.
Despite all that, it was proposed to create a financial API to keep it a part of Neos, and would allow other systems to be developed as well by proxy. This means NCR would be moved down to a plug-in, which may seem like a downgrade... but at this time, it's disabled for the majority of users (again, Steam Build) and for those who DO have it active... are they honestly using the parts that make it work every day? Again, NCR is so loosely tied to the platform, you can snip it off and- oh wait, it's called the Steam build. -
So... I don't know about you, but a plug-in system that could potentially give NCR even more integration support, and other systems as well? Sounds like a good deal...
Just too bad someone who isn't here 99% of the time has no interest with this path, and will feed his minions whatever they want to hear, unless it's "I want out, please send emails to a rebounding inbox." -
Let's be real: How the <REDACTED> did I go from almost $1200, to $22k, to now $200, in the timespan of a few months, and only having a SINGLE transaction under my belt? Who the heck would even want to try and use that as a form of payment if having even a sliver makes you magically god overnight? -
So, trust in the system? Yeah, it's basically dead. Having an offering to have it available via a side system is basically as fair as it gets, and offers improvements that aren't available right now. -
Thats easy to answer. Because the devs went hostile against it and how can any asset not collapse when the people who are supposed to at the very least maintain it turn against their own funders for no reason? You expect crypto holders to hold onto it? The only people who are holding it are actual Neos natives. Those are the only people left that you want to throw under the bus.
Those who've been involved in crypto know that they go through booms and busts that leave the asset higher in value pre-boom, but that that comes at the cost of aspectacle in price movement. NCR would still be higher than it was pre-boom if it wasn't for the uncertainty where the general feeling the room gets is that the devs might remove it to make people like you happy for a day.
If you want an example, look at MANA on coinmarketcap or something, which also got a 90% drawdown woth the rest of the market, but still weeathered it 10x better than NCR did and is at a higher baseline than it was before its price boom. Thats unfortunately how markets work cycles work, if not abit more exaggerated in a VERY illiquid low-market cap coin like NCR.
NCR did worse because of the hostility and honestly, probably illegal behavior from multiple angles. -
and like I dont get it about this proposed financial API.... There's so much shit that gets "proposed" for Neos, lol. What you really mean is "devs dont want responsibility for this anymore"
The idea that after everyone gave money to Neos they should be relegated to a mod that might happen is just insulting. It's a non-solution born from a childish mind or one that didn't know that NCR's chain could be forked and supported by Froox's team.
If you want to just say any other currency can work in Neos then that's also bad for thr holders. What do you think would happens if a much more widely used foreign currency was set up alongside a smaller countries native currency? You'd get Argentina aka misery for everyone who has Pesos. -
*sigh* the devs going 'hostile' thing has been disproven so many times, I'll be blue to the face if I have to keep saying it, and everyone else is surely tired of wasting oxygen mentioning it... -
-
-
-
well, asside from the fact that uh... the "uS-vS-cRyPtO" thing was due to a certain thing called VALVE -
where it LITERALLY was -
Listen, you can talk fairy tales until pixey dust is the only remaining substance of the world, but for someone who seems to know a lot about "ThE nAtIvEs," boy you have no clue.
Virtually everyone was excited to see Neos kick off, even if the reason was... a bit concerning. Overall, people who were long term supporters were getting their NCR to a higher value, and receiving what felt like a payoff.
Then Karel released an announcement that was a shock to LITERALLY everyone, INCLUDING the dev team, who wasn't even aware of the important message. The only reason I even found out was thanks to an announcement made in-world by the Neos managing bot (or whatever that thing is), and it started to divide EVERYTHING from there -
-
-
hiding something and not being there are two different things. People are not stupid; if you hide something, it doesn't dismiss the fact it is involved. Look at Discord groups who changed administration tools all because of when they added crypto support. -
-
-
Mostly the latter... that's when I definitely saw people on the platform just acting like everything turned into a funeral. -
who. cares? The masses are against all sorts of things. ETH doesn't use POW anymore and just because spmething is unpopular or makes dimwits huffy doesnt make it bad. Gay marriage was reviled by most people for a long ass time, lmao
-
Oh... do not flunking go there... -
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
More or less... and with the rate of how much minting was going on, even with adjustments, it would have been a steady progress. Sure, NCR returns from Patreon would dip but not sure how that's an issue if it is to match the value of the tier.
I know that having the currency handle itself is what usually gives it an appeal to many. It becomes its own kindred spirit in a way. -
-

I could not be happier if NCR succeedes, but while i think Karel brought much to Neos in the past, expecially with his knowledge of VR and its hardware, sadly he is now a roadblock. I don't mean that in a mean way. Perhaps i am wrong and he can just give a version of neos to a group of programmer he hires to make this an amazing product, but my personal bet would be still on "the team" or an extension of that. Not because they are unquestionable better at their job, but because they really care about this, way more then a job ever does. -
-
and people who were drawn in during this time from the crypto crowd were also of a different mindset. This resulted in actual new pushes to make the system do things that no one else really bothered trying yet. I still remember the Bitcoin Museum and people trying to get the CPU scaling system to work, so that the server would expand and contract resources based on demand, a service I wasn't even familiar with and found the idea of rather neat, aside from the fact the world itself was also very well made and informative -
-
-
-
-
I'm generally the opposite: most things I build I tend to use often... except the elliptical joystick. Less than a week, and that thing terrifies me -
-
-
how is Karel a roadblock? he personally secured funding for neos, allowed all of it to exist, and I suppose it costed him a lot of effor and stress. now, when neos gained traction and got stable patreon income, he can be tossed away like a piece of a trash, as he is no longer needed?
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
why not karel leaving CEO position -
Your guess is as good as ours -
I do realize and I know it happened when the cryptobros invaded neos and Karel was declared worlds biggest villain
-
The only thing that is worth the ongoing fight is the software, that noone wants to give to the other side and they both own half. Karel thinks its owned by the company, but that company is not capable of acting. And Froox thinks its his alone, because he made it, but thats obviously also not entirely true. Its a total roadblock -
-
-
-
The reason I'm against NCR is how volatile it is. Even if it comes back, what's stopping the whole market crash from happening again? Volatility leads to uncertainty. If NCR is aiming for longevity, it *can't* be this volatile. How do you propose such a catastrophic event be prevented while NCRs management is "hands off"? -
I think people confuse crypto with money. Crypto currencies are an commodity or wares. They stand for something, limited. You can't stabilize it by printing more of it or removing some from the market on demand, you can't really integrated a system the requires a stable currency. Thats why crypto has stable coins... to create a easy accessable gate between commodity and currency -
At some point, if the market of a coin gets big enough, it gets more stable, but even bitcoins are not there yet, and they probably never will be. Doesn't mean its worthless. It stands for a particular idea and limited resource that can't be easily taken away from you. Its valuable as such. -
So why is it being used to fill the purpose of money? -
I think the other issue with NCR is the same issue with all 'tokens:' they're all required to deal with ETH, another currency, just to manipulate -
So if I have to have ETH to do anything with NCR... then why not just use ETH? -
Because it works without trust, as in, its an actual thing that can be (mathematically) proven. While money is based on trust in an entity, a state. NCR was created at a point where the project (neos) didn't had any money. They gave out this utility coin as a thank for for supporting it and people realized that if neos has a great future, so does NCR. As such, while they developers could not give anything of value as a thank you... in case of success, the ones helping the project would be having a payback for supporting it -
-
-
Wow activity 😮 -
The thing is, on paper, it makes sense, but in practice... eh....
The thing is that logically speaking, people who were in Neos thought about selling, but decided to hold because the value could go up. Then when it plumetted, there then came a divide where some sold, feeling the value will never recover, and others weren't sure if they even could (again, you need ETH).
In the end, crypto just encourages hoarding, which isn't really worthwhile if you plan to use it for any kind of exchange, especially since people's speculation of its value is what ultimately destroyed it. -
The worth of these mathematically proven coins can and do change on an exponential scale, for a project like neos that needs longevity in its worth that seems like really bad tides. -
-
I think that also highlights the bigger divide as well: NCR was to be a reward token, a payoff as thanks for supporting the platform's development.
Then Karel wanted to burn its remaining mint to get on exchanges more quickly, or hold stakes to improve longlasting values... he wanted NCR to become a currency and no longer a token of generosity.
So, yes, NCR was a happy little token of Thanks. Then it wasn't. I mean, look at all the lemmings of this chat going "MOOON? NCR ON DEEX WHEN? VALUE SUX, WANT UPS NOWZ. LOST ALL DA MONEYS" -
-
But the reason that, for a game, an ingame currency can still be an advantage, is that you can make it stable. Stable coins for example work by giving out as much tokens as the stabilized currency is hold back in exchange. In pure theory, if you get a stable coin $ its backed by a real $. -
-
-
-
Or, better yet...
Just accept NCR is dead. It is gone. It is deceased. It is no longer of this world.
And trying to fluff up stories and concepts and "Look at the pretty graphs" is going to fix anythign about it.
The whole reliance on a system that is reliant on another system thing isn't holding itself up very well, not a day goes by that crypto isn't the butt-end of a joke, and while it COULD have all worked, based on concepts and ideas, the human element basically showed how much it didn't.
If you use a stablecoin system, sure, it'll be effectively locked to a known value. But at the same time... do you really need to be using a blockchain system at that point? Sure, you could run in a federated state, which would keep performance costs FAR lower, but then again... you could just use a simple database... like everyone else...
If people really want a crypto version of Neos that badly, having an option to still use it has always been on the table. But everyone just wants ALL the way or NO way, and some people want MONEY or VALUABLE ASSETS. You can't have both, only something in the middle. -
In the end it doesn't mather that much. Again, crypto isn't the reason why neos is in a coma. The only reason are two people in this world, there is nothing outside of that. If they finally decide how to split up, all of that stuff will fall into place. Its really the small stuff. -
And I love how every cryptojabrony keeps dodging the taxes situation. The US government views it as AN INVESTMENT, as basically GAMBLING, and it's a system that is on top of another system, and I don't even want to think on how you handle a stock that, in itself, costs OTHER KINDS OF STOCK to even manipulate and move. How the HECK does that work when I report on my taxes? "Hi, yes, I made $50, but it cost me $25 just to sell it to make $50, which I received back when it was worth $10. Is that a gain of $40 or $15?" -
-
-
Eh, F- You, NoPig -
-
-
What i wanted to say, and was lost because of NoPig... lets PRETEND the code of neos is no longer valuable for one side after all this time. Lets say froox, that did write most of the code, made a redo and new version of his vision. Just because you did take 10 years the first time around doesn't mean you need that time again if you already know how it works. Most of the works in neos is based on the knowledge on how it works, less the amount of lines of code. So pretend he did rewrite a new version of neos and says "f... it".
Is the name neos really what made it worth it? Or anything that neos is now for that mather? Or is it about the CEO of neos and keeping it running? The crypto currency? No, in the end that all doesn't mather -
The functionality of neos is what gave it it's worth -
If froox decides to rebuild from the ground up, I'm going to ditch "neos" in favor of whatever ends up being made -
Yup. More or less same here. That or I'll just go to a platform with basically equal building functions, and just spin up a Neos flavored UI remix for things like the inspector and what not. -
I just want a good platform -
I came here for frooxs creation.
That too, but nothing like that exists as of yet. I'm waiting... But... -
Overte is the closest with similar freedoms. It's been getting refined over a long period of time, and I've been curious to see how things have progressed -
oh, and active development. That's another plus. -
-
-
Agreed. Neos's focus on easier user creation is a major criteria. I'm not sure Overte solved those at all... though it might also be that no one has asked for a solution.
A large hurdle is that there is no cloud storage from what I understand... so it'd have to operate in a sort of Mastodon approach -
-
-
yeah. Asset viewing in the Overte engine I recall was doable, but avatars are handled as their own entity type entirely, rather than as an in-world object, so it isn't possible at the same level. However, attachments, could technically work -
I haven't dabbled with the newer systems, but I know the core engine is open source and customizable... so it's just a case of finding ways to recreate certain features. For example, if pasting a YouTube URL, having something recreate the process of making a media player recreation -
-
-
-
yeah. In a sense, it'd need a Linux Mint coat of paint to remedy some issues... or at least aspire to get as close as you can with SteamOS (the current one, not the... older one...) -
Especially since there is no significant updates happening yet -
But once the CEO position has been solved probably lot of people will play neos again -
Unless there is a neos alternative by then -
At this point, the feature distances are only different by accessibility, with Neos holding the highest accessibility by far to the advanced features. -
-
Those people also never actually had to set up an avatar ever. They just used prefabs or public avatars from "totally legit" sources. -

well said, not sure if you seem fine with that as others seem not. I mean it was sold to users with the very intent of fluxuating in value, but people seem to after-the-fact expect it to be as stable as a US dollar here... except tbh its really just the go-to lazy argument against it
When I first got my ncr part of the fun was its fluxuating value, I kind of found that appealing, where you give it to someone and hey, who knows it might be worth more tomorrow.
Froox himself said to think pf it as an investment in Neos future. Those were his words. I think it should still be considered as such and treated as Neos own native currency. Not sure why some find that such a hostile concept -

I enjoy necromancy as much as the next person: Consider the interesting reality that the merging of cyberspace and real space within the AR paradigm represents. In litteralizing hyper-reality we also drive the shrinking of the world similar to the invention of air travel. As geographical barriers fall, it seems inevitable that ideology will drive social selection.
I've been re-reading Too Like the Lightning and I am once again contemplating the notion that fan culture can map onto the idea of the bash'. Though with unfortunately far less explicit discussion of Enlightenment philosophers. One wonders: do the social dynamics of virtual communities in the now give us a glimpse of how things might shake out when we go through yet another mainstream travel or telepresense revolution? -
