My free application just got suspended from Google Play for "impersonation". This is quite unfortunate. Can someone from the company respond to this?
I was reading through the site about how much of a breakthrough this card game is and how the cards are completely decentralized from a central authority. I was also reading about how users can create their own games from these cards. I don't know what is going on, if Google is doing this or if the creators of Spells of Genesis is doing this, but please clarify your policy. There is no impersonation of anyone. I just called my app "Spells of Genesis Card Browser", and I don't think this is impersonation. It is like a Star Wars fan making a free Star Wars YouTube movie. My primary motivation for making this app was so I can look at my cards easily on my mobile device. They look great and I wanted others to look at them too. I do own most of the cards. If I own the cards then can I use the cards digitally? Suppose I did own the cards. Then would a company be morally wrong to deny me to view my cards that I own? Wound it be wrong to organize my virtual cards in a digital manner?
A user fan base building applications on top of Spells of Genesis can only increase the value of it.
Thanks.
I doubt Spells of Genesis would have complained about the app, I think they'd support it. I believe Google has some guidelines to be followed, I ain't no expert though. And also check there was nothing iffy about the app or some missing credentials from your part. Maybe u need to specify somewhere that it's not an official EverdreamSoft app or something like that. You can possibly ask Google why they took it down and what made them feel like it was impersonating so you could correct it. Consider the cards are copyrighted so may have to ask written permission from EDS to use them? And show that in written to Google. They do the same for songs used on YouTube videos, got to have written permission to use for monetization. Also was there a BTC Address on the app, for donations? They may not like that. I'm only guessing, hope it goes back online. |

Hi i'm wondering how you become a 'backer' in this project? If you buy bitcrystals does that mean you can claim the Genesis Card?
The minimum required for a Genesis Card is the player blue grade. So you need at least 0.3BTC currently. All the grades are shown on http://bitcrystals.com. |

Sometimes you need to refresh a couple of times. It happens when ShapeShift is overloaded... |

WOW that card looks gorgeous. Have to say it hits on a very current issue, the blocksize debate.
May have to increase my bitcrystals stake, fancy myself another limited edition card, at 300 units is as rare as the FDCARD!

I like this project but one thing I really don't like is the design of the cards. I'm not talking about the illustrations, those are great but the frames and design on the cards is so bad that it's not even appealing, they are not sexy like we would like and as we've been seen for example on the blizzards - HeartStone game (example showned above). Is there any plans on working on this? Thanks. Hello, thank you for your feedback. The design is always the matter of taste. Maybe the cards design is a bit simple, on the other hands it highlights the illustration. We have been working since a while with several illustrators and we appreciate their work, as well as most of our fans do. Thus the illustration is the main design element of each card. If you have any graphic skills and any idea how to improve or change SoG cards design, we will be happy to see some of your work! Thanks My opinion is not an isolated one, almost everyone comments that about the cards. The illustrations are very good and interesting but the overall feel of the playing card could be a lot better. About my contribution, I'm a graphic designer for more than 10 years and I've been doing some works in the crypto eco-system. Send me a PM and we'll change contacts to speak a little bit more  Cheers This is only my opinion, but the card above looks more like a badge you'd get for passing a certain level rather than a trading card. It looks too digitally made. I think SoG is inspired by Magic The Gathering a more classical Trading Card Game, the biggest of them all. Below is how the cards look like on MTG. I don't dislike the current SoG cards. But then that's me.  However if the frame to the illustrations could be made look better, is always welcome. The current blockchain-based cards are for Moonga, they will work in SoG too, maybe worth updating the frames once they are available to be played in SoG.  |

I think the reason given is pretty solid, I saw promo codes that give users from 2 to 5% extra BCY. Also don't forget they had a pre-sale to be taken out of the 70 million.
I wouldn't just assume things if I were you without any proof. The team seems to be pretty open to answering questions and stated everywhere they would sell some BCY in a pre-sale.
I waited for them to answer when it was first asked but they were silent on the issue. Because of this lack of communication it inherently gives cause to speculation. Edit: It was originally asked on Aug 7th. So 6 days no response. I understand, I'm not blaming you, just that with a sale going on there may be delays in answering, that was the 3rd day after the sale start. It was a bit mental, they raised quite a bit at that time. Hopefully they'll be around more. Also on a Friday they are based in Switzerland and don't think they work at weekends. But got your point. |

why are now only 60mil byc instead of the original 70mil?
It seems like that are making up rules as they go along. My guess is some investor, owner, developer or interested party wanted their cut so they made up a decision out of thin air to reallocate 10 million bitcrystals. If this is the case then it's a little shady because the sale already started and then they rewrote the rules. This means anyone who bought when it was 70 million could have their bitcrystals diluted. Why? Because any bitcrystal not sold was supposed to be burned. It's about a 10% dilution. Since they bent the rules one cannot be certain if future decisions are set in stone. I think the reason given is pretty solid, I saw promo codes that give users from 2 to 5% extra BCY. Also don't forget they had a pre-sale to be taken out of the 70 million. I wouldn't just assume things if I were you without any proof.

Awesome project. Very responsive. <--snip> To get a card from this limited edition, you have to purchase BitCrystals in our Token Sale with XRP.
For an equivalent of 0.5 BTC (around 15 830 XRP), you will get one RIPPLE CARD, and another
one for each extra BTC (its equivalent in XRP). Why would someone spend twice the amount on the second card? Usually the first purchase is expensive and additional purchases get cheaper. Is there a downside if someone buys 3 cards at .5 btc each with separate accounts? Thanks for an awesome experience so far. This is not a proper cards sale, the ripple card is just another reward. So basically if your main goal is to get more ripplecards for less money, you can purchase it several times, with different account. But if you use different accounts, your purchases won't be added and so you won't be able to get other rewards, available for higher or cummulated purchases. Yes, I forgot about the player/partner rewards. Just for clarification, if you buy .5 btc of bitcrystals your reward would be the genesisblock card and the ripple card? This seems about right based on what I have paid for some other cards. Also, do you plan to update the site when SATOSHICARD is out of stock? Thanks again for the experience. I am really starting to appreciate the complexity of this crowdfund. Yes GENESISCARD for everyone eligible for Player Blue Reward but RIPPLECARD only if you buy 0.5 worth of BTC using Ripple and only for the first 500 people. Also need to use BCYripple promo code when submitting your order according to their post above. I guess they will be updating the site about the SATOSHICARD. They should when there are none left. |

Thank you for answer. One question more. So bitcoin will be fuel so your smart contracts don't use any XCP anywhere?
I believe they mean to use Ethereum Smart Contracts, if XCP will allow for Smart Contracts they could be an option too. For the moment seems like Ethereum is the more plausible option. |

So people are basically pre-buying fake XCP created money to spend on things in this game once it's released?
You don't even own any of this game's profits/ad revenue if you purchase the token sale?
I guess it'll work. People buy fake money to use in games all the time.
Ok now it's clear you are just attempting to discredit the project by using words like "fake XCP created money"... You sound pretty sour, have to say...  What you just said applies to any altcoin, and even Bitcoin itself. Something is valuable because people who use it considers it of value. Stones once were used as money, something that it's hard to consider money nowadays, yet they were being used as a mean of exchange centuries ago. To be noted that Moonga, EverdreamSoft first game, with over 250,000 downloads to date doesn't feature any ads. So I'm not sure where do you get the impression there will be ads in Spells of Genesis. Furthermore, all the fake money that people uses in those other games you mention, it's really fake because they don't own it, it can only be used and traded within those games. They are closed economies. BitCrystals are a mean for users to actually be part of the game economy, they can first be used to buy assets, cards, etc but they can also be freely traded outside of the game, peer to peer or on exchanges. This is also true for the blockchain-based trading cards, everyone can exchange them between each other, online, and even be sold at will anywhere in the world. If by any chance BitCrystals go up in value because they become rarer the more they are used by players, who do you think is going to benefit? If in the future 10 BitCrystals buy you 30 cards instead of 10 or simply they are worth more, the players and the community are going to benefit, the people who actually own them. |

Who are you coin@coin? Are you actually affiliated with BitCrystals?
Clearly the information is required to make sure the devs/team didn't buy their coins for free.
Since there is funds raise not associated with any blockchain, this is most definitely a scam. Maybe not 100% scam. But like an 80% scam.
I believe you will deliver a game. But I don't believe investors will receive their money back. This basically sounds like, pay us $1,000,000 to build a game that we scammed our way into owning most of.
Nope, I'm not part of the team, as I mentioned earlier I do support the project and I like the idea, and I bought into the token sale too. I trust the team they will deliver, they have an alpha of the game which is available to test online. I've been following the project for a long time. So I know quite a bit about it. I never heard of 80% scam, it's either a scam or not. This is not an open source project, it's a company raising funds to develop a new game, they have already a game out since 2009 available for iOS and Android. BitCrystals will be used to purchase cards, card packs and in-game items, they are the fuel of the game. And when they are used they get burned. What does that mean? That BitCrystals will decrease in number over time, the more they are used, hence the potential for return is pretty solid in my opinion. You are making assumptions in your comments, which is fair, everyone is free to think whatever they want. It's a free world. The team has been clear on how they will use the coins (out of the 100 million that will ever exist), it's all in the OP, on the sale site and on the Spells of Genesis site. Do have a read through, I did, and have no worries about the team being honest and working hard to deliver. There are also milestones to be completed before they get any money from the sale. An extra guarantee for contributors. If they don't deliver they ain't getting anything. I wish they'd get a million, they have proven themselves before with their previous game Moonga. With that much money I can only imagine what a great game Spells of Genesis will be! I'm also pretty hooked on the blockchain-based cards, LOL, want to collect them all. Getting there! |

Whats up with the "Some BitCrystals may be sold prior to the token sale".
Please tell us exactly how many tokens have been sold before the token sale and what price they were sold for.
And why should the team disclose that information? A pre-sale is done to early investors not to the public. People who support the project with funds that allows them to keep going. You can see how many BitCrystals are still available on the sale site and how many have been sold. It's pretty clear to me. |

How many max bitcoins can be raised ? Shouldn't they close the crowdsale ?
That was for the minimum goal, the sale goes on until BitCrystals are soldout or the sale ends on September 3rd. . You should close the ICO now. LOL easy with the red text  It's written on the sale site that was always the plan. You should read the token sale site before talking. And it's also in the OP. All nice and clear.  What happens on Kickstarter when a project reaches the minimum funding volume? They go into overfunding right? There are quite a few BitCrystals to be sold before the sale is over. I'm sure someone from the team will be around on Monday to answer any questions. I do support the project, got a few BCY myself! get them while they are cheap. |

Now it is shown that only 60 mil coins are being sold what happend to the original 70 milion if there has been a modification it would be nice to know.
I would also like a clarification on this. Also it says any coins not sold will be burned. When exactly will they be burned? Will there be proof of burn? Coins not sold will be burned after the token sale. Got to wait for it to finish right? |
