[ANN] Peerplays - First Ever Blockchain-Based Gaming Platform

[mt55]

Could anybody here say something about potential limits that Peerplays faces in comparison to a comparable platform launched on the Ethereum network?
Could a platform on Ethereum scale up to the same processing speed at some point in time that Graphene can bring about?

What comparable platform launched on the Ethereum network are you talking about?

Peerplays will be launched on Graphene (same platform used by BitShares, Steem and Muse).
It currently offers the fastest block production time and the highest throughput of any decentralized blockchain consensus mechanism available - 3 second blocks and 100,000 transactions per second.

any news on this coin? i want the casino to start then it will be really expensive and will beat a lot of market coins.

just why development is so slow? after year preparation for ITO it should run smooth with casino right away

Thank you for our response. I just thought that I read quite some stuff about gaming platforms recently, some of which were associated with Ethereum I think. I was just wondering whether there is any advantage using the ETH blockchain over the one PPY is using now.

Not really a casino.  Eight, which will feature peer to peer tournaments and allow developers to create their own games with Unity 3D graphics will be released in August sometime.  Bookie, which will be a decentralized sports exchange, gets released in November.

Both release dates are currently on track per the roadmap which was stipulated in May.  Sweeps and Mobile apps will hopefully be released in Q1 2018.

Graphene operates with DPOS, or Delegated Proof of Stake, much like BitShares, Steemit, and eventually EOS.

And apologies for the tardiness of the reply, but yes.  Username is what you use to send PPY to your wallet.  If you are sending to an exchange then you must use the username that they provide AND the memo stipulated.  If it is a BTS account from the ICO/Sharedrop, you must create a new account and transfer the balance to your new username prior to sending to an exchange.

Hi Jocuserious,

could you quickly say a few words about DPOS? Do token holders receive block rewards similar to the POS mechanism or is it only a specific group that receives block rewards within DPOS? Do I just have to hold tokens in order to receive block rewards or do I have to be voted for by the network somehow?

What is the link for the telegram group of Peerplays?

DPOS is 'Delegated Proof of Stake'.  That means that token holders are able to vote for the people who are handling the blocks.  In order to gain Block Rewards, one needs to have a dedicated server ish type of stuff that I don't understand.  There are many places one could go to learn more about this - https://steemit.com/steemit-guides/@pfunk/a-full-steemit-user-s-guide-to-steem-witnesses - is a good place to get generalities (I am unsure if there are differences between how steemit does it and how Peerplays does it but it looks similar). 

So with Peerplays, holders get dividends once people start gambling in peer to peer settings.  The witnesses are the ones who get the block rewards and can be voted on or off based on the voting weight of holders.

Once again Jocuserious, your input is much appreciated!

whats up with the frekkin Open ledger Peerplays from before the swap.
Still says "THE OWNER OF PEERPLAYS HAS DISABLED TRADING IN THIS MARKET." and not numbers of the Asset are no properly updated yet.

Like WTF ?

Peerplays On OL before the Blockchain launch was just a UIA....and is no longer valid.

You might have better success if you download the wallet and use your private key to claim those PPY - http://www.peerplays.com/news/how-to-claim-your-ppy-tokens/

Note - After you do that, create a new usewrname and send your PPY to that address...and then send them where ever you want.

AHHH now that worked.
Thank you very much Sir.
I wasnt aware that bts tokens where just uia and need to be extra claimed after this.

That info shóuld get pinned in op.
Would be frekkin useful !

Now Moon pls.

Why can't the dev team decide to provide some bi-weekly update or so on BCT? I mean, it's really cumbersome to find decent information about this project except for the outdated and potentially unreliable stuff on the website. Too bad...

As always, a wonderful silence in this thread. I think when I read some annoying stuff in other threads in the future, I'll just come here to calm down!

Does anyone have any idea why the Peerplays price is down substantially lately? According to CoinMarketCap.com, the coin is now ranked #133.

Perhaps it's speculators dumping ahead of a general market selloff.

Well.  All alts are pretty much down right now because Bitcoin is raging.  Couple that with speculators moving into any number of new coins for the initial pumps and the fact that this coin is more or less developing their product prior to marketing and I'm not surprised to see the drop.  People don't realize that Peerplays will be the first with a functioning Prediction Market/decentralized sports exchange...when Bookie launches in November.   

I don't think that there is anything to worry about here.  The roadmap is on schedule, the lead dev is active on Telegram and we're getting ready for the release of Eight at the end of the month.  You know how fast things change in crypto...

Hello Peerplay hodlers!

I'm very excited for this platform... the community has been amazing!

I'd like to give some love to the developer of the wallet... A+ job... it's certainly the best individual token wallet I've used as of yet.

Does anyone know how often the payouts are distributed to our wallets?

Am i right in assuming as long as the PPY tokens are in our wallets we receive dividends from the games?  I have not voted, is that a requirement for receiving payouts?

Kind regards,
-Thom
