Update#93 : Baby Steps and Baby Leaps

Just a couple little points here! Easy stuff while I work on a few certain important things...

1) I've basically decided on the numbers and pricing for buying STAR so when I get my current set of web pages re-stabilized on my newer versions of PHP then I can throw together a store/donation section.

2) I've finally got a remote server set up for hosting the website, so when I feel ready (hopefully by the end of the year!) I can give out a public URL for people to visit and start looking around at all of the things that I have and don't have ready yet.

With regards to that store/donation section, I want to make sure it all works perfectly and keeps good and proper records before opening it for other people. PAYPAL will be the main method of payment for the first while, since it's so easy! I'll also be trying to accept payments in Bitcoin and Litecoin.
 
I intend to keep good and persistent records of all payments, so that all donators and alpha/beta players will have a sum attributed to their account or email address ... specifically so that when the server gets reset over and over and over during continued early development, STAR purchases will be remembered and carry over to resets and eventually the final open game. Anything less than that would be rude, wouldn't it?

Update#92 : Home Again, Happy Again

After a long period of illness, contracting one infection after another, several attempts of curing and removal...

The primary web development computer for The UNIVERSE Project has made it home, clean and refreshed, with web services running normally and all system resources available as they should be.

I am happy today. The next few days will probably see me focused on restoring all my of little options and software and media.

With this development, exciting page construction and code developments will be able to start moving forward again, and The UNIVERSE Project will once again creep closer and closer to reality.



PS: Adding to last week's topic, I think we'll also accept Bitcoin as a payment option for STAR.
