Block Chain Gaming - Anyone Interested?

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.

Disclaimer: I am invested in Zoo.

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:

      • If it was maybe double figure like min $10 you might catch a fish .

  • BTW I think the biggest growth area in NFTs is contracts that become physical . Funko Pop is leading the way with huge growth , Mattel has joined the party with Hot Wheels and is expanding to 4 major drops + plenty of mini drops this year. Look at there models and try to line up something that can become an elusive collectable from a relevant major company. No need to thank me :)

      My thoughts are the big things in NFTs will be more business utility usecases like Carbon Credits. Places where the markets for things have a lot of cost/friction built into it. Lots of middle men taking their cut get removed by smart contracts and the NFTs flow cheap and instantly between participants. Other areas could be in things such as Law contracts/services. Think of selling a house how many middle men have to tick off on x, y or z. The actions still need to occur but the whole flow/process can be fully stream lined. It also has immutable accountability so one could expect it would be self regulating as far as good and bad actors staying or being removed. Most of the intial benefit will come from stream lining based on money transfer and accessible hours. I am sure in the future there will be things we could never dream of. Partial ownership of large assets also could be massive on the block chain. Which I guess is more Tokenisation but its a grey area as to NFTs vs Tokenisation which is it? or is it both/the same. I believe any way you look at it blockchain innovation is going to impact everyone sooner rather than later and in most cases it will be completely seamless and the end user would never know.

      Digital Rights also has huge potential. Imagine for any song/movie/tv show/video game that you have ever obtained on what ever format you owned the licence to it and could freely trade it. You buy the licence for MineCraft, It enables you to use MineCraft on ANY PLATFORM so you do not need 4 copies of it any more (one for each device). And once you have had enough you could trade it away. It would definitely change the value proposition for a given digital "thing" and no doubt the incumbents will fight it at first as its disruptive. But to me it just seems like a better way to handle digital rights ownership. Buy once ->use any way you would like -> sell it if you decide you want to.

      • I agree there is huge potential in a lot of applications.
        It's a matter of finding the right one with huge demand to make the dough .

  • A new announcement from the ZooEcosystem/ZooGames team landed last night. Anyone interested in block chain gaming it makes an interesting read.

    Reshape The Way You Earn With GAMESTAKE

    ZooGames is getting ready to blow the minds of thousands of gamers around the world. From casual to hardcore, whether Web2 or Web3, all gamers will be involved in this new exciting addition to the platform!

    Of the numerous features introduced so far, there is an essential one that needs further explanation: the gaming pool — or now so called — GameStake.

    GameStake, made by the player for the player
    While most gaming platforms build their economic model around staking, charging fees or using game-specific play-and-earn systems such as NFT sales, ZooGames pushes the boundaries way further by choosing to do things differently with GameStake.

    GameStake represents a pool of rewards which have been accumulating for a while, and continue to accumulate as people play games on ZooGames. These rewards are distributed to all ZooGames players according to certain criteria. To be clear, the more you participate in the ZooGames ecosystem, the more you build some Power Weight (POWA) and the more you are eligible to earn from GameStake.

    This means that users are encouraged to interact as much as possible with the platform and its various features in order to get access to GameStake and earn their share of vZOO tokens.

    In ZooGames, every transaction completed by the protocol (on all playable games) is subject to a 2% share divided equally between platform fee (1%) and GameStake contribution (1%). This great system helps users accumulate even more rewards without being detrimental to the player’s overall experience.

    It is important to note that since GameStake is a feature available on ZooGames, all games developed and linked with the platform will be GameStake compatible!

    Note that the 1% platform fee will be burned, and that this fee is subject to change if the community expresses the desire to do so.

    GameStake, a unique play-and-earn model
    ZooGames is developing several features such as game access, game listing, social scoring, etc… and GameStake unlocks the full potential of these distinctive platform characteristics.

    GameStake relies directly on player’s actions as recorded by the ZooGames Leaderboard.

    The Leaderboard decides the ranking of each ZooGamesID and it is dynamically set so every valid action performed by a user will be instantly reflected on their profile. The more you play, the more vZOO transactions are completed via the protocol, the better you rank. This does not only take into consideration the player’s performance in the game but mainly how much they invest into the ecosystem. For example, a player spending more time and vZOO on games would potentially rank higher than a player using the free-to-play mode with a great performance each game.

    GameStake is influenced by (but not limited to) these factors:

    vZOO spending;
    vZOO staking;
    vZOO earning;
    Social interactions on the platform: liking a game or reviewing / commenting;
    Affiliation: referred users joining must create a ZooGamesID and spend vZOO. The more they spend, the more power weight goes to the original user;
    Daily missions: specific actions will be available on Zoo.Games for all users to complete;
    And more to come…
    Of course, all actions are not equally rewarding for users so someone playing on ZooGames for hours and someone posting one review per week would also not earn the same from GameStake. An algorithm has been specifically created to determine who can earn from GameStake and which portion of the rewards they will receive.

    From this, players are building some power weight to improve their daily vZOO earnings, which are then sent directly to their ZooGames mirror address.

    The protocol also requires users to maintain some consistent interaction with the ZooGames platform in order to keep their GameStake access valid, and thus keep receiving rewards.

    Adding vZOO to GameStake via a staking mechanism will add to a player’s base gaming rewards, and therefore improve their earnings.

    ZooGames develops a new play-and-earn model in which players are not only rewarded when playing games and according to each game’s rules, but also through creating content, and bringing friends and activity onto the platform.

    GameStake is a very exciting way of making ZooGames’ vision a reality.
    And how about you? In what way will you be using this great new addition to ZooGames?

  • Game servers have been up for the last few days pretty consistently. Still need more players. I have earnt the following.

    About $42aud at current prices.

    • If there's a convenient way to cash out that $42 then good on you. If it's still stuck in "cash out function coming soon" mode then, well, we shall see how much you actually have when that feature is added, I guess.

      Of course that's after 10 days of the activity, averaging $4.20 a day. You could have folded flyers for a junk mail provider while watching YouTube videos and made at least five times more, right?

        Yes I am sure there are better ways to earn money. I however am having a great time playing the game. It is a lot of fun. There is something that just clicks with my personality that makes playing for value (even tho each game is like 20c-50c if you are in the top 75% ) much more exciting. Still struggling to get games tho. Right now i'm sitting in the lobby with another waiting for 2 more to kick off. 4 players minimum.

        I have been involved with Zoo for years so I have no concerns around being able to cash out soon enough. However I will be using all my vzoo to stake against the game stake rewards to earn a better passive income when that part of the system is live.

        Zoo is also at all time lows. Currently about 0.7c USD. It may drop a bit more over the next few weeks. There is a big LP farmer that is constantly selling his rewards via the stream trade functionality in one of the other apps on Wan chain. Wan chain emissions for zoo farming end in 35days (so no more LP farming on wanchain). So with any luck with out this whale constantly off loading the price will finally get a chance to improve.
