Hi OzB fam,

I have been playing a blockchain integrated game over the last week or two. Its in Beta but they are testing their play to earn model and their blockchain API integration for the first time (beta 4) so you can earn Crypto from playing. I am really enjoying the game and its got a very low barrier to entry (Social media account and mfa, No need for buy in or any blockchain experience needed). I am checking in if anyone is interested in giving it a shot as for the Aussie time slot I'm available to play there is a lack of players so games take a while.

Happy to answer questions/post further details. (I could talk about it until the cows come home but if no one is interested I will keep the trap shut)

ZooRacers is the game if you want to investigate. But I am happy to answer any and all questions. It is a great example of what block chain gaming could become.

Free money will hopefully be of interest to some in this community.

Edit: I see this post has been reported once for Spam. If a legitimate crypto enabled gaming project is not acceptable on the gaming forum of OZBARGAIN I am impressed.

This isn't some 2bit overnight nonsense scam. The game is being produced by a large video fx/gaming house out of Thailand with quite the repertoire.
This is the original game trailer from a few year ago:

      I understand the sass but this is a legitimate PA and request for more gamers. If there was one community I was going to shill earning $$ for playing games and have a OK reception its oz bargain. Do you game msKeggs?

        To be fair, at least you declared it, that sets you at an integrity premium to most.
        I personally mainly play retro games, and would never consider a crypto game, but there are various gamers in my household.
        I would strongly discourage them from playing crypto games, for the same reason I think loot boxes suck, Sportsbet sucks and pay to win games suck.

        I’d urge them to think long and hard about why they would consider spending their time that way, and ask them hard questions about whether they were trying to exploit people, or do other things that were unethical.

        Easy for me to say, of course, I haven’t got any money in crypto so the ethical issues are very straight forward, I don’t have to try and rationalize.

        But most people don’t want to get into unethical situations - so worth having a chat to make them sure they know what they are getting into with crypto games.

          I agree with 99% of what you said, but am curious as to why a crypto game would be unethical.

            @brendanm: It’s just the distilled worst bits of capitalism, including exploiting the developing world.
            The idea that a game has a real world economy where people are stressed that they might not make their daily grind quota if they have an unlucky run is yuck.

              @mskeggs: I also think any games where you pay after buying it are yuck, but these people are choosing to play these games.

          If you have a total of 4 gamers in the house I would suggest get set up with zoogame accounts. Enter a game at the same time. 4 is the minimum play/learn/earn and see what you think. 3 of 4 in a game will earn. If its not for you no loss. If it is for you it has potential. I would state it is beta so there will be issues.

          If you are interested I can provide you the links and assist in anyway I can.

          I fully understand people shilling crypto projects are not very welcome. And I agree. I have been thinking of trying to get a few more gamers involved for months and finally bit the bullet today.

        • rakerr on 06/04/2023 - 19:51

          Who are you referring to when you mention exploiting people? I find the fact people in countries where the average wage is in the low hundreds per month can make substantially more from gaming wether that's gold/item farming in traditional games or earn rewards in blockchain games quite interesting. I am not sure if its a good or bad thing. But i can only think its a good thing for them.

  • Bafranz on 05/04/2023 - 21:48

    Is this the Jake Paul crypto collect animals game? Zoo?

    • rakerr on 05/04/2023 - 21:49

      No this is not Jake Pauls project. This project has been around for quite sometime before. There was a bit of a uproar when he named his project zoo.

    Do you need to pay any money to get "free" money?

    • rakerr on 05/04/2023 - 22:03

      No as I said to participate all you need is a social media account (google/twitter/facebook etc) and MFA.

      • deme on 05/04/2023 - 22:04

        So … how do you make money on your investment?

        • rakerr on 05/04/2023 - 22:13

          You earn Zoo from playing the game. However Zoo has been "earnable" via LP farming and previous beta participation. They also have a telegram enabled zoo quiz that pays out zoo. The quiz game is also pretty great as it is hooked into chat gpt which creates all the questions and answers. It is pretty fun and hilarious based on the AIs nonsense sometimes. They just (24hrs ago) started using the latest chat gpt version a lot more specific quiz questions and a lot less silly contradictions from the AI.

          As an investment. If the price of zoo goes up then my investment goes up. From my limited crypto blinder vision I do not know of a better crypto gaming system, however i'll be first to admit I am pretty focused on the zoo ecosystem and there is SOO MANY projects out there there very well may be better.

          • deme on 05/04/2023 - 22:14

            @rakerr: What price did you buy at

            • rakerr on 05/04/2023 - 22:34

              @deme: haha my worst was swapping XRP at 1.40 for Zoo at 1.80. USD My last top up was at $0.009 USD. It had a fair launch so at the beginning it was trickling out lp rewards and people wanted Zoo to get more liquidity in the pools. Then bear market happened and down she went. Quite a lot of inflation now and it is still at pretty much rock bottom. But i believe it will be 10c over night when the game company (different to the crypto company) launch's with both the pc/mac and mobile games in a few months.

                @rakerr: Where does the money come from in LP farming and what risks are there?

                • rakerr on 05/04/2023 - 22:56

                  @deme: The answer to this question is rather large.

                  In general liquidity pools are two assets paired into a single "lp" others trade in and out of the pool with either side of the LP. there is a fee for the trade and that fee is shared between the owners of the value in the LP. A lot of DEXs also incentivise the allocation of LP funds with there own token. So usually participating in a LP earns money by 1 - the fees paid to swap between the two sides of the lp and 2-any incentives offered from the dex to the lp owners.

                  As to risk the major risk is impermanent loss (google it) and any malicious attack due to dodgy code (this one hurts!)

                  • Cave Fire on 06/04/2023 - 01:54

                    @rakerr: Hmm, might be "projecting" but would like to warn about LP farming (in general). Usually, you're earning in "house" tokens/a high risk token. These can drop in value making the interest earned worthless.

                    • rakerr on 06/04/2023 - 09:16

                      @Cave Fire: Like all things crypto you can end up on a winner or a loser seemingly based on luck/being in the right thing at the right time. One thing I believe is Defi is here for ever. Interestingly the XRPL is bringing out the "next generation" of LP farming which should be a more efficient/lucrative/safer set up than the current plethora of LP farms which are all based on the same core code. If you farm I'd highly encourage getting up to speed with the new way that the XRPL is brining in the next few months (still in dev but has been for a while) being a first move is normally the most lucrative in LP farming. But also can be very risky.

                        @rakerr: Yep, late night post… If you're doing small amounts should be all good. Or are at least aware of the risks and fees. More warning for new people who then finding 200% Apr at other farms and they turn out to be rugs/scams.

                          @deme: Since we are discussing liquidity pools then I assume you are referencing someone that provides the liquidity to the pool (lp).
                          - liquidity pools are a pool of funds placed into a smart contract to provide liquidity for decentralised exchanges (DEX), lending and borrowing protocols, and other DeFi applications.
                          -Liquidity providers (LPs) are individuals or professional market participants who use their crypto assets to provide liquidity to a liquidity pool to enable the underlying DeFi protocol to function.

                            What did you mean?

                            Because to me this sounds like you are engaging in unsecured loans.

                              LP farming is just the term attributed to earning from being a Liquidity provider.

                                  1)you sign up for free

                                      @deme: Yes. With our payid/osko banking system in Australia we are pretty lucky. The best way is to swap Zoo to wXRP via WanSwap on wanchain. Then use the WAN<->XRP bridge to move the XRP to a XRP wallet. Sell the XRP on BTCMarkets then move the aud into your bank account. The whole thing can be done in about 10 minutes. Biggest fee is the BTCMarkets exchange fee which is 0.8% at max.

                                      Once the vZoo to Zoo bridge is turn on you would need to add that to the front of that process.

      Well firstly its a game and its fun. I personally find the fact that you can earn ANY amount of value out of it makes the game that much more fun and strategic.

      The top 75% of players in a game receive rewards. Minimum number of players is 4. If you have 3 mates then you can all login in at the same time and 3 of you will earn some vZoo. Currently the free to play mode is spitting out 80vZoo which is worth about $1.20aud per game. Each game is 7minutes long but with loading and post game scores etc consider it 10 minutes.

      Right now I would say I can earn about 2$ an hour playing. However the value of Zoo can change and right now it is still at close to all time lows. I wouldn't advise playing for earnings. I would advise to play for fun and checking out block chain gaming if that is of interest. There is no barrier for entrance so its just your time lost if its not for you.

      • 7ekn00 on 05/04/2023 - 22:15

        And you have actually tried to cash in these vZoo to a real bank account for real money?

        Most blockchain games have zero easy methods to "cash out", by design!

        It's ALWAYS encouraged to "re-invest" in the game as "pay 2 win" perks / items!! Actually getting real money out is ALWAYS a convoluted process that average people couldn't be bothered to follow for $2 - which just puts everyone off anything that mentions "blockchain" and "play to earn" :/

          BIG DISCLAIMER I SHOULD OF PUT IN THE ORGINAL POST. vZoo is currently on the game "sidechain" (its not a sidechain but for want of a better word it will do) and the bridge has not been enabled yet, I believe it will be released in the next week or two. However vZoo is interchangeable with Zoo 1:1 and Zoo is on several DEX (wanchain/avax) and available on bitrue(very low liquidity). Wan Chain is a great chain and has been rocking btc/eth/xrp/ltc….. and another 30 odd bridges for many years without issue.

          These guys are a pretty solid team and they have delivered on all of there goals so far (they do hold their goals close to there chest now to stop the "wen xxx"/disappointment if they miss the deadlines by a week or two.

            @rakerr: So:
            1) No "easy" (for the average person) way to "cash out"
            2) You haven't managed to get "real money" from playing
            3) You don't win any "easy" arguments with abbreviations/words very few people comprehend (DEX/bridge/wanchain/avax/bitrue/etc)

              @7ekn00: 1) It is very easy to cash out, It is just not enabled yet. As i have stated else where it will be coming soon and the project has been going for 2 years and has more than proven itself in my view. LIKE ALWAYS DYOR and don't trust me. I am just attempting to bring in a few more players and with no barrier of entry hopefully someone (or three) will give it a shot and report back.

              2) As real as bitcoin. You take it from there.

              3) What argument are we having?

              -a DEX is a decentralised exchange as opposed to a CEX which is a centralised exchange. A DEX is based on trusting CODE, A CEX is based on trusting a third party (the exchange like BTC Markets)

              -A bridge in crypto is the ability to transfer the value of a coin say XRP on one block chain (the XRP Ledger in this case) to another block chain such as Wan Chain

              -Wan Chain is just one of the many block chains out there. Along with Avax

              • Bitrue is a CEX.

          In Join Match, a custom room can be created / joined in which the number of players, overall score needed to join, and the amount of vZOO required to enter (adding to the total pot) can be set. This mode gives players a chance to increase rewards by directly investing some vZOO.
          In time, the TurboBolts store will also feature different purchase options with vZOO, to maximize players’ opportunities for acquiring NFTs and improve their gaming experience.

          So they are actually going to add a "pay 2 win" aspect (just swap real money for vZOO, then buy all the "perks" and "boosts" needed to "win") and allow the people that pay the most to setup games where they can prey on newbies that enter "Join Match" modes that haven't paid to win!

          • rakerr on 05/04/2023 - 23:18

            @7ekn00: Perks are currently enabled for beta v4. You earn the in game currency during game play. You earn the vZoo coin for your ranking at end game. You can buy 1 perk with the in game currency per match and its only for then, you can't stack perks or horde them. It is a pretty sensible system.

            The NFTs are pay to win as they boost your character/karts stats. But a good player can beat a bad player with NFTs. And a good player will increase their ability to obtain NFTs and their power faster than a bad player.

            If you want to earn money with no "pay to win" aspect then the GPT enabled ZooQuiz happens every hour and is lots of fun. You just need telegram and a free zoogames account. I have got pretty lucky with the quiz and have made well over 100usd so far.

          Just like billions of dollars flow into Fortnite via Vbucks some money will flow into crypto gaming. The difference the players take a share of the money flowing in along with the developers/owners of said game.

          Definitely far better video games out there. I just got off the D4 beta a few weeks back and loved my time there. I spend hours and hours wasting time investigating ASX miners. Most may consider that time as a waste and I definitely haven't been making a good return on my time yet! I just really enjoy looking into mining operations and that feeling of potential future returns/the what if!

          Thank you for your concern around my time use. This post and response has been filling in the down time between ZR games. Got my first reward from the Zoo Quiz AI game since the new chat GPT upgrade a few days ago this morning!

        I think this is why the earnings are currently gated. I am shocked no one hasn't gamed both the Zoo Racers and Zoo Quiz AI by now. But the team would be on it pretty quick. Come go live it will be a lot more prevalent I imagine. Will be one thing to see how they handle it as if there is money to be made there will be people trying to game it and it has the potential to make or break a whole ecosystem.

  • deme on 05/04/2023 - 22:11

    Currently the free to play mode is spitting out 80vZoo which is worth about $1.20aud per game. Each game is 7minutes long but with loading and post game scores etc consider it 10 minutes.

    Right now I would say I can earn about 2$ an hour playing.

    I wouldn't advise playing for earnings.

    hmm

  • trustnoone on 05/04/2023 - 22:35

    Free money will hopefully be of interest to some in this community.

    How is it free? Crypto doesn't just magically make money right.
    Either someone is paying for it. Or its creating some sort of asset that people believe is worth month?

    Which means either someone is putting money in the hopes of making money elsewhere (through your data etc). Or your asset is based on an assumed worth with nothing to back it up. So if everything thinks its worthless. Then well it will be worthless.

    • rakerr on 05/04/2023 - 22:52

      Well just like people buy vBucks for fortnight there is a lot of money entering gaming all the time. with crypto gaming the money that comes is shared with both the developers and the players. But as you say in a closed ecosystem some one wins some one loses. Yes any earnings will only be realised when you sell the Zoo to some one buying in.

      Sorry, Originally I just wanted to sus if there was any interest. I could talk about the Zoo Ecosystem non stop if you let me :) I can discuss the couple of games that are available right now which are paying out value, I can talk about the Zoo Games API/Platform and what they are trying to achieve. I can talk about the other few games that are planned. I can talk about the NFTs and their integration. I can give out heaps of info. I was a bit reserved in posting. Based on the good discussion that has occurred since posting which, between ZooRacer games, I have been trying to respond to all responses I think there is a fair bit of interest.

      Is there any part above that you have interest in that you would like to know more about?

      Currently there are 2 active games paying out.

      1) ZooRacers (the main game one)
      2) ZooQuizAI (a fun little quiz game based on chat gpt and runs on the hour every hour via telegram)

      There is a ZooNo game coming out shortly which is as you would expect is a Uno style card game with NFT/Block chain integration.
      There is a game called Zoogene strikers which there is very little info about and still very early so for now i'd ignore it but it is planned to be a turn based soccer game (think the mini game in FFX where you play in the big sphere full of water i'd expect)

      At least I hope you realise i am not a Shill and Run sort of Guy :)

  • rumblytangara on 05/04/2023 - 22:46

    Surely you have heard of Axie Infinity.

    It's the perfect example of blockchain gaming- buzz generated, people play just to make $, then when everyone realises that people only play to make money because nobody is interested in the game itself, loses massive value.

    • rakerr on 05/04/2023 - 23:47

      Fully aware of Axie. It is the holy grail of a hype fuelled feed back cycle of crypto gaming. The main problem is the game sucks. And the $$ needed to enter the system, not to mention the fees since it is based on Eth.

      Zoo Racers is a FUN game, There is Zero cost to join, There is zero blockchain knowledge required to join, and all fees are free and fast.

  • bargain huntress on 05/04/2023 - 22:46

    All i ever hear about crypto games is that they arent fun.

    Which to be fair is all i ever hear about play to earn games in general.

    Is this game actually fun?

    • rakerr on 05/04/2023 - 23:10
      +1

      Yes it is fun. I found at the beginning the controls were a bit meh, You would clip items when you thought you shouldn't, but over the 4 betas things are getting better and you slowly learn to use the sometimes crazy physics to your advantage.

      The game itself is a battle royal Kart racing game. There is a large map, each game you start in a small area and there is a fog that kills you which slowly decreases in size just like fortnight. Each game is split into 3 parts. 1minute of peace where you race around collecting as many points/ammo/items as possible, after a minute you go to battle time for 5 minutes, the top three players by points are displayed on the mini map allowing you to hunt either first second or third easily. As they get killed off or others catch up they swap positions. The last mintue is still battling but the mini map is blurred so you are frantically trying to either get a few more points via a drop or chest to take a better position for more rewards or if you are at the top you are frantically trying to escape/hide if your low health or you are picking off who ever you can to keep any one from over taking you.

      I find the set up of the game is quite strategic as if you know you can not catch first place then you can avoid them and hunt second/third and then try and hold second place. However if you get in a 16 player game it is just sheer mayhem!

      Edit: this game isnt made by the crypto project team. It has been sourced from a video FX/Gaming house with a marketcap of around 100m usd listed on the SET (stock exchange of thailand) and they have a few other games some mobile some on steam. It is leagues above most "crypto games" in my view.

  • rumblytangara on 06/04/2023 - 00:26

    I watched the alpha and beta trailers. It looked like a much, much less interesting version of Mario Kart in single player mode.

    Is there a video that actually shows anything more?

    • rakerr on 06/04/2023 - 09:28

      There is a guy (DeFiMoney-Printer) who streams the game, he is one of the better players and I think the top earner in game so far. NO IDEA if his content is any good or not as he is in a different time zone than me I think. But if you want to see some in game footage there should be many hours.

      Fair enough. Crypto gaming is a dime a dozen and just like 99% of crypto projects a lot are just hit and runs to raise some money and bail. The Zoo team has been pretty solid so far and it's been 2 years so they have my trust. I like the fact that the main game is contracted out to a large gaming studio.

      This is them: https://ygg-cg.com/

      you wont find any mention of Zoo Racers on their site. You can find a few mentions in some of their shareholder reports if that's a concern.

      They have a game called Home Sweet Home on steam.

    So the developers spent all of this time and money developing a game, which you play for free, and earn their tokens for playing, which you can then swap for another token, in order to sell for cash, except you can't do that yet?… The developers are not running a charity, so how do they get paid?

      There are two groups here. The ZooEcosystem team who are all things block chain. There main aim is to get traction with their blockchain API (ZooGames API) and they make money off the Zoo emissions paid out every block (If you want to know more check their medium articles there is one on the tokenomics of Zoo and another on vZoo) They also raised a reasonable amount from there Zoo Genes NFT rounds.

      https://blog.zoo.one/

      https://www.zoogenes.io/

      The other group is YGGDRAZIL who are a Thai video fx/gaming company who joined the ZooEcosystem team via some agreement to produce the first game. IE ZooRacers. I am not sure on the full details but the game has been moving along nicely albeit a bit slower than hoped. The mobile launch for ZooRacers is key in my mind.

        Switch is getting a load of new maps with the NSO pass thing. Well worth it, basically the only kart game you need in your life.

        • rakerr on 06/04/2023 - 18:40

          Thanks, Nintendo switch online is the paid service yeah? So subscribing to NSO gives access to expansion/dlc for MK8?

          • AustriaBargain on 06/04/2023 - 22:01

            @rakerr: Yes. I don't know if you can get the MK pass individually, maybe? But doing the family share for NSO with expansion pass works out to be like $12 per person a year or whatever.

        I think that would be more accurate as "the fad is not in your favour".

        Every time tech news has covered blockchain in games, player interest is severely negative and the producers can't come up with any compelling reasons for including it. Some of the big producers have tried it and been shot down in flames.

        Eve is one of the biggest games that on the face of it would have the most relevance to blockchain as it operates an absolutely huge online marketplace. Their stance so far is a hard no.

        https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/blockchain-and-eve-onlin…

        This mirrors the more 'business' side of tech. I have friend in fintech product development. The sales guys had for years been desperately trying to drum out how to add blockchain to their products so they could add the buzzword. The hardcore tech guys who design and code the products literally turn around and say something like "I cannot think of a single relevant use for this in our portfolio that isn't already covered by existing technology."

        More gaming examples:

        https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/01/square-enix-signals-m…

        https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/07/minecraft-blocks-the-… Minecraft, the biggest game in existence of gaming, has outright banned it.

        I wouldn't say that the idea of blockchain in gaming is inherently terrible or evil, like some other people here seem to say. But it's pretty pointless and just a buzzword. It adds nothing to gameplay.

        For 99.999% of people, playing games is for fun. Not for some tiny monetary reward.

        • rakerr on 06/04/2023 - 10:16

          You may very well be right. But there is a lot of money going into blockchain gaming. It will only take one or two big gaming houses to make bank off a block chain integrated game and everyone will flock in.

          I know many years ago Ripple granted 100m USD to a new startup called forte gaming. Haven't heard much from them but with 100m in you back pocket I imagine they have a good basis to go somewhere. I believe Will Wright had some connection with it and his new game was block chain integrated. This was many years ago and he well may have transitioned away from block chain but as far as I know its still planned and his next game will be block chain based. Thats a pretty big name and if he has 5 years under his belt its got potential.

          The fact that square enix and Mojang are even debating "Block chain" indicates its got substantial traction already.

          • rumblytangara on 06/04/2023 - 10:33

            @rakerr:

            But there is a lot of money going into blockchain gaming.

            This is a terrible point to try to use to support the argument.

            Whatever money has gone into blockchain gaining is utterly dwarfed by the money going into blockchain in other industries (i.e. specifically financial services). In that industry, it's been companies flocking to use the buzzword with practically nothing to show for it. That you mention that one company took 100M and then nothing came out of it… how does that show that it's a useful technology to shoehorn into gaming?

            I know people who work with blockchain in FS- people in exchanges. We haven't seen much come out of it for the amount of money and time pumped into them. One day they will be more mainstream and useful, but nobody knows how far away that day is, and what the environment will look like.

            You think that Microsoft saying a hard "no" and Eve saying a hard no means that blockchain is good? WTF mushrooms are you on? They are saying this because they are being hounded by clueless noobs about when they will use teh blockchainz and their answer is "it does nothing useful, we have no plans to use it… maybe at some unknown stage in the future it will be useful". And you take that as a resounding measure of success? Dude, you a clearly just going to believe what you want to believe, against all evidence to the contrary.

            • rakerr on 06/04/2023 - 19:40

              @rumblytangara: If we are discussing the success or failure of block chain gaming I think the amount of funds being deployed into the block chain gaming sector is fairly relevant.
              "That you mention that one company took 100M and then nothing came out of it" I didn't say that. I said I haven't heard much from them. Having now looked them up they raised a further $725m usd in 2021. One of the two lead investors in the $725m investment was the parent company of Garena. I think that shows some interest in blockchain gaming. So while you have Microsoft saying "no blockchain gaming for us" a $48b usd gaming company is investing $100s of millions in blockchain gaming companies. Money speaks louder than words? and that is just the one company I remembered from a few years back.
