Dragginator is a blockchain game launched June 2018.
It's based upon collectible virtual draggons you can raise and breed.
Each one is born as an Egg, with specific DNA info.
Each one is more or less capable for a specific task, and can be common or very rare.
The game also features 3D graphics.

The game is based upon the Bismuth platform and protocol, so it runs out of private contracts, with no gas involved and very little fees.
Since its start, it attracted nice interest from the Bismuth community.

Although based upon $BIS, you can also play with other cryptos like ETH, Dash, BCH, BTC.

Some rare eggs


Each egg has its own specific abilities and characteristics

Iyomisc, the dev of the game, is pretty much active improving the experience.
More features than what were planned are already available, like the market place, or the possibility to improve eggs by merging them.






Some surprises are happening, too



August Cup:
A first cup took place earlier this year, with special soccer eggs.
Now comes the second iteration, open to regular eggs.

More than 1000 $BIS are to be won, so... give it a try!

Disclosure: I'm part of the BIS foundation, and I do partner with Iyomisc, but I'm not the dragginator operator/dev.

If you encrypt your wallet ("send" tab), then you private key if encrypted within the file, and you (or someone having access to the wallet file) will only be able to check the balance.
The password will be needed to send any transaction.

No, because cryptopia has a single deposit wallet for everyone, and without the specific message to include, no way to id the account to credit.

Hi,

Sure, just re-install your GPU drivers.

It's a windows update that broke opencl, classic issue.

re-installing the gpu drivers will fix.

Two things you HAVE to do without hesitation right now:

1/ The registration has been extended, still time to enroll for the dragginator's cup and win 1100 $BIS

Bare with me spamming for a good cause: promote a game and a contest, with ultimate goal to raise BIS awareness:

There is now in total : 600 BIS plus 125 $EGG (the bismuth token) plus rare eggs to be won at the dragginator cup, I had to tell everyone, at least once
https://twitter.com/iyomisc/status/1012703499845423106

20 people only registered 130 eggs so far (max is 10 per address).
Will you let them go home with the prizes, or will you try your chance too?

And now a giveaway so you can even win soccer eggs and participate to the cup!

https://gleam.io/ygAKr/dragginator-soccer-eggs-giveaway

Dragginator announced its first cup:

Any soccer egg owner can register (freely, as in beer) to participate in the contest.
There is - for now, but I guess it will raise because they are still looking for sponsors - a 100 bis prize and more.

The announce tweet:
https://twitter.com/iyomisc/status/1011975202534838272
"Happy to announce our own Dragginator Soccer Cup! Any soccer egg owner can freely register. Nice prizes for the winner, and more to come Read more and register now: https://dragginator.com/cup_help.php"

And my tweet looking for sponsors:
https://twitter.com/EggPoolNet/status/1012014139001143297

"A newborn collectible game on a young python platform, already a Cup with prizes: http://Dragginator.com  2018 Cup is looking for Sponsors by @iyomisc #blockchain https://www.slideshare.net/Dragginator/dragginator-2018-cup-sponsors
Please RT to give exposure, attract sponsors and get more prizes!"
"If you're in the crypto business, it's one occasion of a kind to have your name/brand associated to a cool and fun contest, contact @iyomisc , every offer be it crypto, hardware or service is welcome."

Please relay as much you can to give the contest and Bismuth the exposure they deserve.

Thanks!

The fork at 700000 went smooth so far.
Some non up to date nodes ended up stuck, They just will have to update to get synced again.
Thanks to the cooperation of all the pools and main actors, the 3 main pools are on the right ledger, so is Cryptopia and - needless to say - the official explorer and wallet servers.
Good work everyone!

If you want to be safe, yes.
We know it comes late, and it's fully our fault, but its that protocol version number that will allow to filter up to date nodes from others if the fork goes south.

If you only use the wallet, connected to an online server, then don"t bother: you have no local chain, nothing to fork.

Too many nodes still using mainnet0016 , Please check the how to above and update asap, only a few hours left.

Please hover to the discord
https://discord.gg/5Kn3zD4

set debug_level to "INFO" instead of "WARNING" in config.txt,
console_output to "True"
delete mempool.db if it exists
restart and tell us more if it crashes again (on the discord)

Very Important info for node operators, regarding upcoming fork at 700000 :

https://github.com/EggPool/BismuthHowto/blob/master/UnderTheHood/HF_700K.md

Yes

Your custom cryptopia message is visible on the BIS deposit page:

Added new #Bismuth demo plugins https://github.com/bismuthfoundation/BismuthPlugins
IFTTT plugin and Hook plugin.
Plugins and hooks are what made the WordPress CMS so popular and extensible.
Bismuth has them too so you can extend the core in a few lines of Python

For instance, here is all that is needed to plug into the abstract token layer of #Bismuth and trigger any custom code in response to - valid - token operations (that's exactly what Dragginator uses).
No change to core code needed.

Announcing Iyomisc's giveaway to win $egg and even some $bis so you can use your $egg with an empty wallet.

All you need is a Bismuth wallet to participate (don't use cryptopia's or octaex address, please!)

Official wallet does not even require a running node, it's straighforward.

You can try to play with the specifics of some hardware to slow down others, but in practice, it's not that easy.
You can always trade space (ram) for speed for instance.
But yep, some try to use I/O bound operations, heavy memory use and serialized algos to limit gpus or asic advantage.

I'm very glad to announce the launch of https://Dragginator.com , a game based upon Bismuth blockchain.

It's dev by https://twitter.com/Iyomisc using Bismuth tokens, transactions, the Bismuth plugin system, 3D graphics...

More than 100 Dragginator eggs were already made a few hours after its launch.



This is a strong proof that a third part - young - dev is able to fully grasp the Bis ecosystem and build upon. Congrats Iyomisc!
