Amir Taaki, otherwise known as genjix is one of the developers of Crystal Space. He studied Computer Animation, but is a self taught games developer with cross discipline in programming and art. Aside from developing Crystal Space, he has worked on other game projects like Ecksdee and SDL_Collide.
Taaki is one of the founders of BitcoinConsultancy.com, a UK company based in the Netherlands, which developed bitcoin-exchange software.
Facts about Taaki:
* Working with one of the largest mobile companies in South Africa with goal of providing bitcoin services for mobile phones
* Also working to develop an enterprise version of bitcoin so businesses can get their money in and out more easily
* Is a poker player who tried to set up a bitcoin-accepting poker site in the U.S.
* Sees bitcoin as eventually becoming a viable alternative to Western Union
* Says that niches bitcoin could focus on to be viable are micro transactions, the black market, and international transactions
* Believes that the liquidity of bitcoins make them easier for people to donate and spend (no bank or credit card company barriers)
* Says the fact that the price of the bitcoin has increased doesn’t mean there’s been an increase in their actual value
* Since speculation drives up the price of bitcoin, Amir’s biz partner is working on a project to determine their intrinsic value
* Prior to working in bitcoins, programmed video games and has 10+ years of experience with open-source software
