I cancelled the ION lottery first draw as did not want ppl to lose too many ION on entry, over a quarter of the 1000 tickets sold tho (in two days since site launch) so that is good and showed interest, there were some late entries I did not add too (All on public spreadsheet). I have refunded everyone with a 100% bonus is coins for ticket purchases so they are all winners. The ION lottery is being redesigned with a smaller pot so better chance to win and also an improved ticket choosing system. Thanks for noticing and stay posted for updates   http://ionlottery.net

Maybe next time, you can throw in a baker's dozen of eggs with the grand prize? Thanks for getting the Shark hooked on gambling with IONs!!!  lucky 13!!! put it all on RED!!!

THIS IS MY 100th POST

For the record; I just saw the game on livestream twitch shown by a member. So the game exists, it works, that i can conclude.

Honest opinion, how'd it look? Meet your expectations or didn't you see enough to accurately judge?

For those too old to know what twitch is - when's the public beta coming?

Beta Testing will come after the Whales & Founders have done alpha testing... rumor is  "making another big push this afternoon/evening"

sorry for shitting up the thread again, back to the strategy of laugh and report.

How was the stream of the game?

Any semblance of a clue as to how the game is going to get outsiders (or anyone really) to buy IONs?

problem is people like to equate troll with someone they disagree with.

e.g

person a - i like peanut butter. company x says it prevents cancer so im buying shares wveryone else should.
person b - there has been no scientific proof around peanut butter and cancer curing see link here
person a - you're just a troll you dont want me making money and helping others eat peanut butter and making money too.

whilst i agree troll behavior is toxic there is a distinct misuse of troll definition. many on bitcointalk calling trolls are using it as a come back comment out of context. i.e josh garza was scamming and supporters and himself called those with such comments trolls. they werent trolls.

would you agree with my points? also would you consider a toxic pro person a troll as well or does it have a different name? if so what is the name? to be unbiased and righteous one needs to know and be honest on both sides of the coin to be objectionable in the internet troll claims.

nah all good its freedom of speech good and bad contrary to some peoples one sided view when they dont want to hear certain views. keep it coming.

my thoughts are they will get people buying ion through ion reward. they are trying to be a sublet app store inside an app store much like subletting. its not efficient to make a game get double fee'd on games unless your game cant stand on its own and needs the ion investors to spend. honestly unless they make a ground breaking game with a cult following it will flounder. they are trying to be their own app store piggy backing off existing app store infrastructure.

honestly in gaming id use a micro trans crypto. something fast block time that isnt premined to death like ion. digibyte comes to mind or maybe good old bitcoin if lightning network or fasr trans systems come in and deal in satoshis.

the truth is ion team tried to invent something not needed. they only made a coin for the profits a control degree. if theirs games were strong enough on their own they'd take an existing coin.

why again do they take btc in ico and not kickstart or do real bank transfers... if ion is future why desire btc? this applies to all icos

"toxic pro person" is usually called a "shill".

Both of these (as well as "FUD", "hater", etc) have been so overused that it doesn't mean much else other than the person using these words is probably too lazy to come up with original insults.

And no, there has been no scientific proof around anything I just said.

Game looked smooth. I only saw two levels. Have to see if gameplay is interesting enough. I only saw the game without ION integration. API and game were built seperatly and are now being integrated.

I have no clue for release date. Neither do I know why delivery was delayed. Just saw the game irl, that's all i know

they hired game developers to code the game right? they didn't do it themselves right?

This may partially be the case. They are definitely attempting the game dev themselves and may have brought on outside devs to help. The team isn't the model child for transparency so I'm not sure of any way to validly prove the statements.

I've asked several times and have expressed interest in the game development process, but haven't been taken seriously. I understand I could have been more tactful in my approach. But dealing with a non-transparent blockchain project (the blockchain was built for transparency) is quite frustrating when trying to get information about said project.

I think it depends who you're referring to as 'they'. The team who are developing the games appears to be led by Matlack (or Huey), and I remember seeing him say that there were a couple of other game devs who have apparently worked on successful PC games in the past. This was a long time ago (possibly as far back as May or June) and on their slack, so I'm afraid I don't have a screenshot or anything. There's some confusion over what Matlack's experience is with gaming development, as I've said before.

Im guessing everyone missed it?  No notice and all

Too bad we cant watch it on Past Broadcasts for that user.  In typical team ION fashion they have made sure no permanent or even semi-permanent record exists..

Edit: It must have been short in any case as its just over an hour after sharkie told us it was soon...

Then again a few may have been a few months this being team ION lol

Yes, i think they are hiring more than one atm.

You use ION to buy ingame upgrades and stuff, like medpacks/lives, possibly unlock worlds. I know sometime ago the plan was also to start tournaments and stuff, but may be only future games. This is second hand info though, as I dont have access to the game or any direct information other than github and website. Dont pin me down on it ;-)

I understand that is the point, but how is that going to work.

Games have enough trouble getting people to click "buy lives" on a game when it is hooked up to an account that has a credit card on file.

How much work it would take to get a random person who finds the game via an app store to be able to purchase ions to use to buy lives?

Where is the game github, or do you mean this one? https://github.com/ionomy/ion
