Just something I was thinking of, that could REALLY put your alt crypto on the map.
Everytime I read about another Alt Crypto opening up, I always see "Gaming site in the works" or a deal is being negotiated. And everytime it ends up being the same 2 bit gambling site. Some of the sites even look like they were programmed by high school kids for a school project. That's not a gaming site.
I think some developer that really wants their crypto to grow needs to contact an actual gaming company, and see if they can get on the big list of currencies they take. In the gaming world, Free to Play is becoming HUGE. Many big companies are even forgoing making their customers pay for AAA games, that used to cost customers $60+, instead looking at microtransactions for payments. These microtransactions are worth millions if not billions of dollars.
Every gaming site I look at has a multitude of different ways for payment. I am looking at Wargaming.com's website right now, and see all these options for getting the company money for microtransactions:
Visa/MasterCard/AMEX/Debit/Ultimate Gaming card/DAO Pay/InstaDebit/Skrill/HyperWallet/Western Union/PaySafe Card/UKash and Safety Pay. A lot of these cards, the manufactures are paying huge fees in order to get the money transferred to them. Notice how cryptocurrency is not mentioned in that list. Yet it could be the currency that allows companies like Wargaming to decrease their payment fees.
A side benefit. A majority of gamers have decent GPU's in their computers. They could in turn start mining, which they would more then likely be feeding back into the games they are playing. It's a win-win for the gaming companies, since it would help increase the amount of money it is bringing in.
There are many different companies just like this one sitting out there looking for new and cheaper ways of getting the funds flowing into their games. Any developer that would talk to companies like these might end up scoring a win, and become a partner. It shouldn't take to long to see what a huge benefit it would be for a coin to have a win this big.
Just something to think about.
