Hi viljy,

I want to make sure you receive your correct stake allocation. The challenge has been that some usernames were not formatted correctly for systems to verify against twitter API.

I can confirm your stakes have been added now and I apologise for the issues during the transition period.

Please wait to see them reflected in the next stake update.

It's ok. At least we have clarified the first issue you had. For the second, you admit you haven't dug deep into other gaming projects, nor ours. What I would say then is, consider Vadim Bulatov who is a head at Wargaming.net (100m+ gamers worldwide). He came across us and immediately understood what challenges we are working to solve (he then joined as an adviser). He is someone that works in this industry and recognised something in us, particularly around the social aspects and fostering positive communities within gaming.

From the conversations and research we have conducted with gamers, developers and industry professionals - we have a unique proposition and a demand (two companies even reached to us to declare their support and interest). Our focus is to now deliver this technology and build the community that will support us in this endeavour, which is going very well.

Hi Zendalet,

It's ok, it's a fair question to raise . Also please don't take our response as a challenge either, we just have to clarify a few points.

So there are two main areas we have to look at to answer this question. The first is, is the games industry market saturated with cryptocurrency solutions? The second is, how diverse is the games industry and how does our particular project fit into this diversification. Or in short, how is our project unique?

We have to consider that the games industry is huge. Think about how many cryptocurrency users exist, how many exchanges there are - and our crypto industry is nothing compared to the number of people playing games and revenues generated through businesses in the games industry. Just to highlight the difference in the crypto industry to the games industry - a recent benchmark study by Cambridge University suggests that there are around 5.8 million active users in crypto exchanges and up to 11.5 million active wallets.

Compare that to the games industry there is reported to be a staggering 1.2 billion people playing games globally. That means something like 1 out of every 6/7 person on the planet is a game player. Consider as well the revenues generated in this industry well exceed $106Bn and grows on average by 6.5% annually. It's just simply a massive industry with hundreds of niche areas to engage with.

Then to look at all the gaming crypto projects that are being launched - none are really in full production, none have dominated the market because it's just such a new innovative industry. You say that there are hundreds of gaming related crypto projects, but if there is really that many, how many are actually penetrating the market? We know of a small handful that are making real progress - but again they are not established. We're not saying that other crypto projects in this space are bad (as you mention some have secured partnerships) - it's just early days for this industry with massive opportunities as we all know.

So specifically where do we fit into the games industry then and how 'different' are we?

Our project is focused on developing/fostering the interactive games communities - that exist in a multitude of formats. We are creating specific solutions that doesn't just throw a product or service at gamers and developers, it has been carefully structured and crafted to create stronger unity between them. For example, one particular aspect that we are developing is addressing the issue of gamers going in breach of EULAs for games. This is lost revenue for the developers and publishers, plus is not smooth sailing for gamers that actually wish to pursue these avenues. Our solutions actually work to benefit both gamers and developers in these situations - even going so far as to improve player retention. This is just the surface, to really get into the detail it would be best to go through our white paper https://triforcetokens.io/resources/white-paper-v3.3.pdf and pitch deck https://triforcetokens.io/resources/pitch-deck-v1.4.2.pdf.

We understand the challenges faced by both sides having been involved in some external game markets myself, I can tell you there is a massive opportunity to monetise these activities, something I have yet to see other projects address.

Then comes the actual structure and ethos of the project. This is a business and we are putting things in place now that will place us in a much stronger position for future mergers and partnerships, making us more adoptable and attractive to the bigger institutions. We are advocates of positive change and are working on big challenges such as piracy and protection of players - so our vision is much more comprehensive than simple digital assets as many other projects focus on.

Hopefully this gives a little more clarity on what sets us apart? Ultimately innovation comes from those that are prepared to push the boundaries and those that have the ability to respond positively to trends - something that I know our core team has plenty of.

Thank you fishervwb for sharing our content, you seemed to be quick off the bat with that one! Certainly saves us from sharing, and that's what we are about, community collaboration

~ Pete Mardell, CEO TriForce Tokens

Thank you Dirk and others for your support  There is a long journey ahead but it's a very exiting project and our dream is taking shape!

~ Pete Mardell, CEO TriForce Tokens

Hi Calvireish,

It's a good point, however in terms of reaching the widest possible audience in the most efficient manor, based on our research starting from a mobile application first is the best strategy. It might be trickier in terms of development but we have the resources available to achieve this. We don't mind the extra complexity if it means advancing our project in the best way possible.

~ Pete Mardell, CEO TriForce Tokens

We are creating a central intelligence hub, that game developers will integrate with plus our own applications. At the same time we are also building our own social games engagement platform for mobile, called RaidParty. This mobile application will be integrating with the intelligence hub, to afford it the benefits of using our blockchain solutions. Building a mobile app first in terms of engaging with gamers is actually the most effective route to engage with these types of users - it's part of our initial growth strategy. From there we will expand out to desktop based applications for gamers.

~ Pete Mardell, CEO TriForce Tokens

That certainly appears to be the best strategy! Slowly accumulate and slowly exit from positions.

Hi IdoandWill,

Sorry I don't know what you are referring to with that question? Could you clarify for me please?

~ Pete Mardell, CEO TriForce Tokens

Hi littooo,

You raise some good questions. To answer the first, we conducted market surveys several months ago before we announced our project, met up with developers, gamers including in game groups. In the survey 86% of developers said that they loved the idea of the solutions we would implement. I have also been a part of external gaming 'markets' so to speak where players are offering in-game services. There is a particular route that can be beneficial to both gamers and developers, without gamers being in breach of the developers/publishers EULA agreements. This is where our solutions fit in.

Our target audience is all defined in our white paper and pitch decks plus we have strong partners in this industry including Vadim Bulatov, our games industry adviser who is head of marketing at wargaming.net. We are still a young start-up project but already have impressive connections and growing our community of followers. As for going out through relevant gaming community publications, it would only make sense for us to do this once our technology is deployed in a production environment or in the lead up to it, which I hope you can appreciate. This forms part of our next four year growth strategy.

I hope I have given you enough clarification to your questions.

~ Pete Mardell, CEO TriForce Tokens

Yes Desmozgenes, sorry it has been a little while - we are trying to fit it around our busy schedule but they will be going ahead! Waiting to receive some equipment too.

~ Pete Mardell, CEO TriForce Tokens

haha nice share Jake - it's like the flood of 'normies' pouring into our industry grabbing those bitcoins!

~ Pete Mardell, CEO TriForce Tokens

Yes, of course, happy new year everyone too!! Been such a busy holiday period as you can imagine, but hope everyone is having a great start to 2018

~ Pete Mardell, CEO TriForce Tokens

Yes, that is mostly right. The discount won't be time based that's the only thing, so that discount could last for an hour, it could be a day. The discount levels are based upon available supply - the more supply available, the higher the discount level. This has been done as a way to control and defend against large sell offs at the end of the token sale once listed on exchanges.

Yes quite a big fan I guess - although not to the point of registering up to the Jedi religion Although I still think the original films are the best, but they are making a nice attempt at these latest films. Of course a big star wars gamer too. Spent endless hours as a teenager playing jedi knights 2: jedi outcast.

~ Pete Mardell, CEO TriForce Tokens

  I assume you are messing around here..

But just to clarify a point on this - we have to be careful on casting such a wide net. In business, sometimes it is more productive to focus on more niche areas - to capture that low hanging fruit. Of course, we have really big ambitions don't get me wrong. There is so much opportunity out there for our tech, even from one small part of what we are building.

~ Pete Mardell, CEO TriForce Tokens

Well, you would be really surprised how many technology companies don't get certified or even consider it. It provides a really robust framework, that can be difficult to achieve, and in fact would cost a lot more to implement if left for further down the road, than by implementing it early on. So a company who understands the value and importance of this, can implement it much easier early on - then as the company grows they already have a strategy and standard practice to follow. It opens the doors to a lot more partnership opportunities too with much larger organisations. Some will actually not be able to engage with a company that does not meet these standards.

So in short, there is much more to be gained from simply protecting peoples information, systems and data (although extremely important in Todays climate of IT attacks) - it paves the way for larger networking/business opportunities.

~ Pete Mardell, CEO TriForce Tokens

Lol, exactly. Well it just seems a lot more fitting to our particular industry and project

~ Pete Mardell, CEO TriForce Tokens

Haha   Yes that's what we are building
