Title: [ANN][Pre-ICO] LOTUS CORE - The decentralized platform for digital games
Post by: lotus_core on February 27, 2018, 08:36:39 PM

WEBSITE (https://lotuscore.io/?utm_source=bitcointalk_ann) | TWITTER (https://twitter.com/lotus_core) | MEDIUM (https://medium.com/lotus-core) | WHITEPAPER (https://hackmd.io/s/Bk2rJDzrZ)


About Lotus Core

We created Lotus Core as the decentralized platform for players, developers and investors built on top of Ethereum.

For a detailed explanation about how it works, please read our whitepaper (https://lotuscore.io/docs/whitepaper.pdf).

You can also check out our promotional pre-sale video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmzhDHy9gNA) to learn what Lotus Core is about.

Players will be able to trade games with their friends, developers will earn 100% of the revenue derived from selling their games, and investors will be able to fund game projects.

Distribution of the Lotus Token

Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 (one billion)

  • 70% will be distributed in the presale and crowdsale events
  • 10% will be reserved for community and bounty campaings
  • 10% will be reserved for marketing and partnerships
  • 5% for the development team and advisors locked for 4 months
  • 5% for the development team and advisors in a vesting model for 2 years (progressive release of funds under certain conditions)

Any unsold tokens will be distributed proportionally among the token holders after the crowdsale event ends.

Presale Details

  • Starting date: March 21st, 2018
  • Ending date: April 21st, 2018
  • Currencies accepted: ETH
  • Pre-sale discount : 50%
  • Minimum pre-sale goal: No minimum

How to Participate?

Before the pre-sale starts you should go through a 4-step wizard, as follows:

    1. Enter your e-mail.
    2. Get the pre-sale contract address.
    3. Deposit desired amount of Ethers into the given contract address.
    4. Receive your Lotus Tokens (LTS) into your Ethereum account (your sender address). You will receive a stage bonus of 50% when you buy LTS during the pre-sale event, meaning that if you send 1 ETH you will receive 35,000 LTS + 50% (or 35,000 + 17,500), so you would receive 52,500 LTS into your Ethereum account.

There is no minium amount to participate.

Lotus Core is focused on improving the distribution aspect of games rather than marketing or in-game experience like other projects. Lotus Core aims to benefit players by giving them flexibility and quality ownership, developers by giving them control of their transactions and allowing them to raise LTS to build their projects, and investors by providing the necessary ecosystem to fund game projects in a secure and easy way.

Lotus Core does not intervene in transactions in any way. Game cartridges' transactions are regulated by smart contracts that specify their bilaterality (developer-to-player, player-to-player).

And about the translations, yes we are in process, in the next days we will publish it in our site.

This is a great idea, everyone will love those who like computer games! It remains to resolve the issue with the game manufacturers who want to sell games in this way. Since, for example, VALVE sells games on its own platform, and accordingly receives 100% of the profit.

In a first stage we are planning to create software that uses the Lotus Core Protocol on PC games because it is the most open and accesible platform. However Lotus Core will be an open protocol and there should be no major problems to implement it in other platforms.

it will be beneficial for new developers, since they don’t have sales channels! and other platforms charge commission for this.

Hi Gregory, thanks for your question.

Sure, existing DRM platforms will be strong contenders. But aside from the advantages and opportunities for Lotus Core (which can be found at http://lotuscore.io/whitepaper), our biggest competitive advantage is the Lotus Protocol.

By using smart contracts, the Lotus Protocol protects digital assets from piracy and also compensates creators per transactions made by the owners of the digital asset. A game developer can self-distribute their own game, or different marketplaces can use the Lotus Protocol to securely and fairly distribute digital games. Our open distribution protocol can be used by any game developer or marketplace in the world. So Lotus Core will not be alone.

Hey Christopher, thanks for commenting.

Although game developers will indeed earn 100% of their sales revenue, that is not the only advantage for them in Lotus Core. Game developers can also become members of the Lotus Partners Program (which will be explained in detail as we move further in the roadmap) to get exclusive benefits, such as a pool of dedicated game testers matching their target audience ready to playtest their game, or smart analytics to see how their game is being used, characteristics of their target audience, etc.

As for developers who request funding in the Lotus Investment Program, they will be able to build the game they want with their team with the budget goal they allocated for investors and the milestones they commited to achieve.

In detail when you buy a game then you should get a proof of ownership provided by the developer. After that, when you trade a game two things should happends, first the owner of the cartridge (the game contract) changes, additionaly a new contract is created in the blockchain, signed by the previous owner who allows the new owner to play in order to proof the ownership of the game using the original proof of ownership plus the endorsement.

No, there really are such competitors. There is already a race between the developers of this and this platform. Here the question of team readiness for quick and productive work decides.

I think yes, it's the same drm. But whether they want to implement already existing systems - remains a question. In general, this is a huge revenue from the sale of third-party games, and few will want to give it up.

The wallet will be exact, as the currency will be LTS, and I think it will be possible to look through the games, preparing for release and helping developers, by investing in it. Then when the game released you will get a percentage from the sales of the game.

Here is the information from the site, guys:
"Fund new or existing game projects transparently by participating in the Lotus Investment Program, which creates a Lotus contract between you and the developer. Your return on investment will come from sales revenue."

Yes, it is very important. Given the quality of modern games. After walkthrough you regret that you bought it. Now there will be an opportunity to sell the game, and return the money - I like it.

But you are unlikely to sell the game at the same price as you bought it. Therefore, I dont think that it will be profitable. But, there are games, frankly shitty. It will be easier with them. :)

About Lotus Core

We created Lotus Core as the decentralized platform for players, developers and investors built on top of Ethereum.

For a detailed explanation about how it works, please read our whitepaper (https://hackmd.io/s/Bk2rJDzrZ).

You can also check out our promotional pre-sale video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmzhDHy9gNA) to learn what Lotus Core is about.

Players will be able to trade games with their friends, developers will earn 100% of the revenue derived from selling their games, and investors will be able to fund game projects.

Distribution of the Lotus Token

Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 (one billion)

  • 70% will be distributed in the presale and crowdsale events
  • 10% will be reserved for community and bounty campaings
  • 10% will be reserved for marketing and partnerships
  • 5% for the development team and advisors locked for 4 months
  • 5% for the development team and advisors in a vesting model for 2 years (progressive release of funds under certain conditions)

Any unsold tokens will be distributed proportionally among the token holders after the crowdsale event ends.

Presale Details

  • Starting date: March 21st, 2018
  • Ending date: April 21st, 2018
  • Currencies accepted: ETH
  • Pre-sale discount : 50%
  • Minimum pre-sale goal: No minimum

How to Participate?

Before the pre-sale starts you should go through a 4-step wizard, as follows:

    1. Enter your e-mail.
    2. Get the pre-sale contract address.
    3. Deposit desired amount of Ethers into the given contract address.
    4. Receive your Lotus Tokens (LTS) into your Ethereum account (your sender address). You will receive a stage bonus of 50% when you buy LTS during the pre-sale event, meaning that if you send 1 ETH you will receive 35,000 LTS + 50% (or 35,000 + 17,500), so you would receive 52,500 LTS into your Ethereum account.

There is no minium amount to participate.

A simple landing page. This is the most effective solution for providing information to the consumer. Easy navigation from the top for quick movement. And also when viewing this type of site you will not miss any important information. At this stage, it's inappropriate to spend money on cool, fancy sites, right?

This is quite normal, the project is at the final stage, do you think the team is going right away?
In the process of work there are always questions and, accordingly, new specialists are invited to solve these issues.

In order to run the demo / beta version at the platform should be able to buy and sell games. For this, developers must provide games. For this we need a cooperation agreement. You can further enumerate different requirements for the working system. But the fact is that the development stage of the project is still too low.

The fist stage of the project is the development of the open protocol to buy and exchange games through the blockchain, this will have no country restriction. After that we will develop the Lotus Store and development tools to make the protocol easier to implement and provide a place to explore all the activity within this ecosystem. The protocol will be available as shown in our roadmap, and we planing to have the Store and some developer tools ready by the end of the year.

The blockchain brings an excellent opportunity to keep your achievements too, "blockchainizing" games is only the first step and we see a lot of opportunities in the future :)

It will be relatively difficult, because they will not want to give such a part of their profits just like that. It's much easier to do everything on your platform. If everything is cool - it will quickly gain popularity.

No, it's completely different. There you can give the game a play, but you can't play it at the same time. And even more so to sell it to another person.

In my opinion, during the public sale, the bonus percentage will only be on the 1st day of the sale, and then it will be baked without a bonus. So now it's more profitable to buy tokens.

Hello everyone. The 50% stage bonus is not a discount, instead you will get 50% more tokens when you contribute at the pre-sale. For example if you contribute 1 ETH (equivalent to 35,000 LTS) during the pre-sale, you will actually receive 52,500 LTS in your address :)

The 50% stage bonus will be active during the whole pre-sale event (from March 21st to April 21st).

It looks like it will be for the whole pre-sale until April 21 :)
In my opinion, during the public sale, the bonus percentage will only be on the 1st day of the sale, and then it will be baked without a bonus. So now it's more profitable to buy tokens.

Hello everyone. The 50% stage bonus is not a discount, instead you will get 50% more tokens when you contribute at the pre-sale. For example if you contribute 1 ETH (equivalent to 35,000 LTS) during the pre-sale, you will actually receive 52,500 LTS in your address :)

The 50% stage bonus will be active during the whole pre-sale event (from March 21st to April 21st).
Technical support at the forum? Now you rarely meet the active support of users here. It’s  commendable.

One of the best projects now. I like the idea, I like the way you present it - it's worthy of respect.

Perhaps, completely agree with you! A great idea to make the world of virtual games even more comfortable
Yes, I, are enthusiastic about the idea too, but how much longer to wait - it's depressing :)

One person buys a game on your platform. Then he can sell this game to another player, returning his money back? Or he can give the game play for a while?

Lotus Core is a protocol to own games like a physical copy, the idea is simulate the behavior of a physical copy, so you can trade, gift, lend or sell any game that you already buyed.

But is like those games have attached a private key that you transfer so only the other person can launch the game? Or how does it work to make sure that after a transaction only one person owns the game?

Basically the game verifies the ownership using the player's private key. For more info, please check out the section "Execution or Launching Process" of "Use-Cases" in our whitepaper https://lotuscore.io/whitepaper (https://lotuscore.io/whitepaper)
That is, with the sale of the game, the digital key goes to the new owner?

In detail when you buy a game then you should get a proof of ownership provided by the developer. After that, when you trade a game two things should happen, first the owner of the cartridge (the game contract) changes, additionally a new contract is created in the blockchain signed by the previous owner, allowing the new owner's account to now prove ownership of the game by using the original proof of ownership plus the endorsement. This transparent and automated process allows the new owner to play the game.

That explains it well. Theoretically your system could be applied to any game out there that involves access keys if those games allowed for integration with your service via an API.

That is correct :)

So will you integrate your protocol into Steam or Origin or not?
It will be very cool if they can realize it in the mentioned systems !! :)
And is it not now possible to transfer games to other players on Steam? I heard something like that ???
No, it's completely different. There you can give the game a play, but you can't play it at the same time. And even more so to sell it to another person.

The Lotus Protocol can be implemented by game developers into the games they make, independently from which channels they choose to sell their digital games.

For example, Steam or GOG could use the Lotus protocol and list digital game cartridges if they wanted, but we don't think that's likely to occur as long as they support a centralized distribution model.

Some key differences between buying a game from Steam and buying a game with the Lotus protocol are:

1. Steam lends you a "license to play" that can lock you out from your purchased game given certain circumstances. The Lotus Protocol gives you a digital game that you own forever or until you decide to trade it with someone else.
2. Steam won't let you share "your" games so easily or will put restrictions when they let you share them, because those games are not really yours. The Lotus Protocol allows you to freely lend, trade or sell YOUR digital games with anyone freely.
3. Steam store takes away 30% of sales revenue from game developers. Lotus Store will grant 100% of sales revenue to developers, (devs even get rewarded every time someone makes a transaction with Lotus Tokens and a game they made).

But what happens if the player is banned by the server, for cheating? Will this lock be on the game, or only on his account?

The game has nothing to do with blocking the player. Only the account is blocked. I hope that in the event of a lock on the game, there are no bans to continue using it :)

Block the account, not the game. Honestly, I'm not sure how it will be on this platform, but the game is just an electronic library, and you own it. if you were banned, then you were banned by YOU and not by your game. I think you can sell it, but if you buy again, the ban will remain ...

I don't think that very much. To begin with, enough and 2-3 with successful interesting games, which will attract many users. The main thing is that such games are delivered only on this platform, or cost several times cheaper than competitors. Then a lot of people will come running in less than a month, while the game will have a high rating of expectations.

This is just a suggestion, but do you see a market or chance for digital games keys or access to be rented out rather than being finally transferred via a sale? I don't know but if there are expensive games, maybe there is a market for something like game leasing or so?It just came to my mind so I wanted to share this thought with you.

Well of course, I kept trying to understand that it reminds me. Leasing!

This should be well considered, because the game doesn't lose value either, and the next owner gets a full new game, not deviating from the one purchased from the developer.

Don't understand a little bit. On the one hand, developers get 100% profit from the sale of games. On the other hand - players start trading games among themselves - what then is the profit to developers now?

I think the price will be the same as for a new game. And the commission will also be included in the price of the game. Always.

otherwise, I do not see any benefit to the developer, who invested so much time and effort into the development.

I think it should be at the same price as the new game. Otherwise, the developers will earn on selling the game in the beginning, but lose customers after a while.

Data about the seller and the buyer of the game will be stored in the blockchain. This will be a confirmation of the purchase. And through a certain protocol will be the activation or decontamination ... This is my opinion

I think there is an activation method that doesn't require user participation. Then, the system automatically terminates the valid license, the game is transferred to the new user, then the system activates the game from the new user.

I think the blockchain will store information about sales and purchases of games.

I think the blockchain will store information about sales and purchases of games.
And how much time will it be stored there? What if the information is erased? Or will it be stored in each block in a chain?

Maybe there will be a license key, but when you sell the game, just cancel the license? But, it seems to me there will be something different, in order to prevent fraud.
Well, otherwise, the attacker will be able to re-enter his key and take possession of the game. I think there will be another license here. Not the key.
Data about the seller and the buyer of the game will be stored in the blockchain. This will be a confirmation of the purchase. And through a certain protocol will be the activation or decontamination ... This is my opinion

In detail when you buy a game then you should get a proof of ownership provided by the developer. After that, when you trade a game two things should happens, first the owner of the cartridge (the game contract) changes, additionally a new contract is created in the blockchain, signed by the previous owner who allows the new owner to play in order to proof the ownership of the game using the original proof of ownership plus the endorsement. For more details you can check the section "Execution or Launching Process" of "Use-Cases" in our whitepaper https://lotuscore.io/whitepaper

Is there any information about the price of the game when players sell to other players?

I think there will be no special restrictions. There will be those games, the developers of which will want to sell them on the platform :)

I really hope that many games will move here from other platforms and become cheaper. Given that the developer will receive 100%, then we can assume that the games will become more accessible.

I think that's the way it should be. But unlikely already released games will be distributed differently. Only new ones.

Another project on online games based on the technology of blockchain. How does your project fundamentally differ from the set of your predecessors, who did not have success with investors? I wish you good luck, but I do not believe that the project will develop.

Why are you so pessimistic? In my opinion this project looks very worthy. It's very hard to develop a blockchain in the game area, but I hope one day we'll be able to sell games that we dont play.

Developers receive 100% profit because they don't have to pay a percentage of the placement of the game on the platform. As well as the ability to sell or change games with other players.

I hope that everyone will come to the mutual decision to implement this! Because one more gaming platform is useless, and replenishing the number of opportunities in the old platforms would be great!

No, no one will agree to this. Especially Steam! They, like the producers of their games, will never go for it and will quickly give up a couple of unpopular games.

Hello everyone.

Thank you for taking interest in our project, we appreciate all your support, comments, questions and advice.

We want to make important announcements:  

  • We raised the necessary funds to develop the MVP, which consists of implementing and releasing the Lotus Protocol plus the first version of the Lotus Explorer (an interface to access purchased/traded games and view current LTS balance).
  • We decided to move the ICO event to the end of the year (2018) until the MVP release so we can prepare a solid marketing campaign that helps us maximize our success chance.
  • Lastly, we will no longer be using Bitcoin Talk to communicate with our followers and investors. Instead, we'll keep communicating through our Twitter account (https://twitter.com/lotus_core) or Telegram group (https://t.me/lotuscore) as usual.



Please don’t hesitate to contact us through our other channels if you have any comments or questions.  ;D

And let's reshape gaming, together!
