Hi Scambust,

Development of Rawbots is underway and there's nothing new to report. It is slated for a soft launch at the end of April. I will be keeping everyone here updated on its progress when we have more exciting things to show.

Best,
Neil

Faircoin.

1 - Has over 10k users globally (that actually hold it to use as a currency, not bag holders.)
2 - Has global presence (used in 5 continents - but mostly used in Europe (Spain, Greece and some other parts) ).
3 - Has numerous partnerships in the works, includes - banking, ATM partnerships and Silicon Valley partnerships (which will lead to more investment capital).
4 - Has mobile apps and NFC based cards in the works.
5 - Launching proof of cooperation (hardware based validation - Switching over from proof of stake). So no more inflation, it will be the total number of coins at the time of the switch ~52.6 million.

I'm sure there's more, but that's what I can think of at the moment. Due to zero marketing, it is hard to piece together information on Faircoin and some of it is in the works, so it isn't public. A good way to learn more about this coin would be to join the Telegram groups.

Faircoin. $25 would get you 1000 FAIR at the current price.

I agree, in the case of new coins, the only legitimate way it can have a strong user base is if they sought out users before launch.


Have you taken a look at Faircoin?

1. User base (How many people actually use the coin?)
Has over 10000 users worldwide and growing.

2. Partnerships - Banking/ATM/Businesses. Partnerships are what help the currency grow its user base.
Has partnerships with Credit unions and ATM machine folks such as Halcash. 10k ATM machines in Spain and 10k in Mexico. Has strong relationships with big companies in silicon valley.

3. The team - Are they dedicated enough to help grow this out?
Has a small team of core developers. Has a growing team of people looking to grow the system out.

4. Global presence.
See #1. It is used in 5 continents right now. Nowhere near the usage of Bitcoin, but it has global presence.

None of the above is reflected in the price for good reason. Zero marketing. Marketing is not necessary at this stage, but will come when all of the <insert cheesy saying here: when all of the i's are dotted and t's are crossed>.

I confirm, this is indeed an accurate portrayal of the situation, and I am very excited to be moving forward with this.

Hi everyone,

As stated in my earlier message, our legal counsels have been in touch and are handling the matter. I did not join the company in May, both Jonathan and I discussed the technology from October 3rd, 2015 all the way up till launch. On January 26th, 2016, we both were thinking up domain names and he landed on peerplays.com, and we discussed equity stake 4 days later. Most of what Jonathan has talked about in his private chats with Jacob have been non-factual. I can prove all of it, but I've agreed not to. I also never discussed doing anything on Ethereum with Jonathan, all of my conversations were about graphene (and early on I referred to it as bitshares technology). Ethereum was mentioned in one of the documents I shared with Jonathan very early on, as I was trying to build a version of this platform before approaching Bunkerchainlabs. I had even considered using technology by maidsafe prior to graphene.

Jacob, I appreciate the support, please drop this right now. This isn't helpful for Peerplays. And stop asking about the facebook chat history. It isn't going to happen. Also, not everything you're stating is factual either. Especially about misappropriation of funds. No matter what disagreements Jonathan and I are having, I will say this to his testament - Jonathan would never take people's money and run. In fact, no one from that entire team would do such a thing. I have the utmost respect for Dan and his abilities as a programmer, which is why I made several attempts to try and code with him and be part of that side of development. This is a well known fact within the team. They were even talking about flying me down so that I could sit down with Dan and learn more about how the code works. What happened here is much more a disagreement of things than anything. I know it has been blown out of proportion, but that's the problem with witch hunts. Please stop this now.


Ryan, since you've made numerous references to complete conjecture, without even the slightest shred of evidence, and made claims that are not even remotely factual, I know you're not really meant to be taken seriously. Nevertheless I'd say the feeling's mutual. Please do not respond to me publicly or privately as you've been ignored.

I'm finding that out.

Best wishes,
Neil

Hi Jocuserious,

From the beginning of Peerplays, my role has been that of designer of the games and the lineup of games (includes monetization and core game/tech mechanics revolving around monetization) that we're launching and being responsible for the strategy and business development from the gaming side. What this means is, I would help with strategic decisions to grow the company, find business/gaming partners (upon the launch of the first game) and find key projects to incorporate into peerplays (such as Rawbots).

To that end, while it isn't my role, I have expertise in coding as well and have offered to help with coding several times (I can provide numerous amounts of proof here). I approached Bunkerchain labs in the fall of 2015 to build out peerplays. Jonathan and I discussed my ideas over facebook in great detail (over several months), including me providing documents, a simple prototype of the first game (simply to describe the idea - using peerjs) and answers to myriad of questions to help flesh the ideas out. Throughout the project I've helped in many areas (ones that I've been given a chance to help with), including interviews, helping promote peerplays etc. This being said, my expertise is in game development, and as such I'm the CGO of peerplays.

However at the present time, due to legal reasons, I cannot say much more. But I will say this. I have not received one cent from the company, not in the form of money or in peerplays tokens. Absolutely Nothing. All of the funds are being controlled by bunkerchainlabs. My goal is to get our internal matters resolved as soon as possible and in an amicable way. I care deeply about every single investor here and I'm hopeful that we will eventually resolve things.

Best wishes,
Neil

Sure, what type of design? Game design?

Come to the Peerplays slack channel: https://peerplays.chat/home

Thanks for the explanation.

Are these bounties? As long as there's an explanation, I'm cool with it. No that isn't the issue we're working out.

Hi everyone,

At the present time, the peerplays founding team has faced its first bit of a bump in the road. Not to worry, Jonathan and I will figure things out, but in the meantime, Jonathan (freedom-ledger), don't issue anymore peerplays tokens.

http://cryptofresh.com/a/PEERPLAYS

Shows a supply of 203,930 PEERPLAYS (Why over the 200k alotted? You'll have to explain that one to me). Let's immediately stop the issuing of any more tokens until we figure things out.

Best,
Neil

Hi Tusho,

During my days at inEarth, we worked on all sorts of games while trying to figure out what could be successful in the social gaming marketplace. We finally concluded that integrating financial incentives through blockchain technology would be the future of gaming, and in April of this year, the inEarth company was officially dissolved. This has allowed me to turn my focus on the development of the core features of the Peerplays blockchain, with the aim of creating an architecture which will enable an entire ecosystem to be built around it.

If you are looking for an example of some of my previous work, one of my personal favorite games that we developed is called Rawbots: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Rawbots.

Rawbots lets players build their robot/machines similar to legos, program their robots and then engage in epic battles against other people's robots. One idea we have been floating around recently is the notion of using Rawbots as a prototype proof-of-concept in order to demonstrate some of the features that the Peerplays decentralized marketplace will offer to MMO games, like the ability for players to buy and sell their awesome Rawbots which they have built from scratch.

That said, here are copies of Rawbots for mac and windows if you want to check it out (linux is experimental):

There are quite a few tutorials on YouTube, but here are a couple:
Beginner tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH_2Tqm2RQk
Intermediate tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ysu0XDOFjw

This is just one small example of the many things we have in the works for this project in the near future. I am putting together an outline that I hope to release next week which should give a good high level overview of how the ecosystem will be organized in terms of gaming development.


Hi SwedishGirl, MMO stands for “Massive Multiplayer Online” gaming, which simply refers to any game which is able to support a large number of concurrent users within the same ecosystem/world. It can be applied to poker, sports betting, League of Legends, or any other of the thousands of popular social games. Even games like Farmville, Clash of Clans etc. which are asynchronously MMO (users don't interact with others in real time), are still generally categorized as MMO. Hope this helps to clarify

Hi guys,

Neil Haran here, and I confirm I am involved with the Peerplays team dealing with all of the game design related challenges.

A bit about my background:

I've been in video game development since 2002. Been in social gaming since practically its existence. I've been looking at bitcoin since when it was trading at a dollar (never bought any then though) and always believed in decentralization and blockchain.

Here's a talk I did back in 2011 for the bitcoin show (I didn't really know Bruce, he asked me to do a talk so I did because I fully believed in blockchain tech):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPKoRJ3vPZY

Today I'm an activist, completely focused on the decentralization movement and technologies associated with it. I'm new on bitcointalk.org and the forums, but I'm not new to this space.

Here's a long talk I recently did for the SAFE network:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akWGc5b6iZc

Another project I am helping is FollowMyVote (also based on the bitshares blockchain), which is a project focused on bringing elections online in a provably fair way.
https://followmyvote.com/ambassadors/
-------------

Now that that bit is out of the way, I truly believe that we're embarking upon a game changer in MMO gaming (for asynchronous games) in Peerplays. What we are building is not without its challenges, as we are attempting to connect a huge number of peers in a large mesh, all playing in a provably fair way and generating a very large number of transactions per second. That said, the blockchain consensus mechanism called Graphene is quite a feat of engineering in itself, and appears to be one of the best current options as a potential framework for such a system. To keep our goals manageable, development will be oriented towards simple on-chain games first, and progressing towards greater levels of feature complexity as the project unfolds.

Anyhow, that's a little of my background and qualifications. As I mentioned above, I am quite busy and I have little time to frequent online forums, but I wanted to come here to let everyone know am confident in our business development and communication team to continue to answer any of your questions at this stage. My involvement in this project will be ongoing, and you will definitely hear more from me in the weeks and months ahead!

Thank You,

Neil Haran
