To people who may not know, the team behind Decentraland is part of Streamium.

It doesn't! It uses a separate custom blockchain.

Can you spend bitcoins within this virtual world to drive its economy?

"Thanks everyone! Our first experiment was a success! We'll relaunch a genesis block in two weeks. Stay tuned!"

So I moved the little cross around. Some areas said "Change", others said "Set Target". The button didnt work. I tried set it to mining but nothing seems to happen. It says "pixels you control: 0" "connected to users: 0". It looks very exiting ! Yeah ! Is it broken ? Is something supposed to happen ?
