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

[ofortuna]

I'm wondering what the user experience would look, primarily the speed of completing any particular game.

[Relaxedsense]

I am thinking of investing myself. What I find a bit off-putting is the website itself. It looks amateur, if you open your console you see many errors, not even a favicon. Not saying the people invested are incapable but online gambling is very much about how smooth, good etc a platform looks.

I played online blackjack and mostly poker and I remember that the platform was the most important for me. Now, a tech start-up should have a solid online representation and Peerplays doesn't. Any thoughts on why or counter arguments that convince me to invest?

Interesting remarks you made. I have invested myself purely based on the team and concept. I have to agree with your opinion about the website. Devs, care to shed a light upon this?

Also agree with that. Many things look amateur and it's alarming.

I am unsure that the omission of a favicon would be considered an error.  You say, "many errors," may I ask what you are seeing?  I see a website that is more or less typical of many crypto projects these days.  I attributed the look to being more of a style than an indicator of technical competence.

It's far from alarming.

A few days ago Ed made an update to the site to include all the mega press we are getting.

It looks like during the merge with git a directory containing some of the .js library was not included.

It was around 4am in the UK at the time so I just manually added the library until Ed can get sorted with git. It was just a missing directory of .js files that didn't appear to have any noticeable impact on the site, so it went largely unnoticed the last few days.

Thanks for bringing it up so I could fix it in the mean time!

The Favicon is just a small attention to detail and not that important. The errors I referred to were addressed in the post below yours, so all good. "Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT" etc etc... Makes sense to have it more as a source of information than as an indicator of technical competence. Just for a gambling platform (on top of the technical realisation) a UI is very important. Hope they put the energy they saved on the peerplays website into the end product and I'm all happy!

Thank you, that makes sense! The team and the concept is more important to me but the website still plays one of many roles in the decision making process. I had made up my mind anyways and am on board as I love the idea.

The idea behind Peerplays is something that WILL HAPPEN. Just about who makes it happen and if you guys do it well, this could be amazing.

Sorry, another question just out of curiosity in regards to the team. Neil Haran, one of the team members, worked as a CEO of Inearth until April this year. 11-50 employees according to Linkedin but the website is offline. What happened to the project?

I wouldn't apologize for that; it's a fair question to which I would be curious to hear an answer to as well.

-Curious more than feeling entitled to an answer-

[increaser]

Antoher question to the team. Are you planning to invite more specialists for web design or game(s) design in the nearest future, at the stage of development?

[gravitate]

Can developers explain why the quantity of available tokens is so unstable?

I have monitored how many tokens are available during 2 last days and I found that it is changes so strange. first it was something about 9k, then the quantity decreased during few hours, but a little bit later it was -10 (minus 10) about 30 miutes. Later it come back to 8k, then decreased gradually to 4k+. After, few times I found that the quantity is 0.
But today it is again more then 7k.
What is it? It look very strange for me. Project is really very interesting but I'm afraid that it can be scam.   

Please advise.

Because this is a limited token pre-sale, we have a cart handling our inventory of tokens prior to issuing them. The inventory in the cart is not on the blockchain, it is only an order in the cart. When someone places an order, the inventory is removed to secure the position until payment is made.

If payment is not paid in a timely manner, the tokens are returned to the inventory.

Recently, we have had someone order all the outstanding tokens with no intention of paying for them, which resulted in the temporary 0 that you saw. When this happens, we then cancel the order immediately to restore the inventory.

You can see all the people who have paid for and claimed their tokens on the bitshares blockchain explorer:

Hope this helps clarify. We are also available to contact in live support if you have any further questions.

Just looking at the stats, there is some great distribution already when looking at the richlist in the provided link.

Cool link, this is giving really good insight in the Peerplays blockchain. The rich list is fun to watch, I see me.

which one is you? im gravitate888

[MsCollec]

is the crowdsale over yet?

[gravitate]

is the crowdsale over yet?

No 5k tokens left at 3usd each.. www.peerplays.com and sign up

I have 1600 and I am tempted to get another 1k... Just waiting for waves to launch


QUESTION

Can a third party get involved in game development of commission the making of a specific game? If so what would be the best way to do this?

Count me in, fellas.....just wish I'd come across this project a few days earlier, as I would love to have 50% more tokens!! Either way, I'm pleased to be on board

Looking forward to all the anticipation surrounding the Peerplays platform and it's unveiling later this year.

YEah its not well advertised really. But I guess they dont really need it. Only fools dont buy into it

They probably want this project flying under the radar for these first 200k tokens.

Seems the marketing and advertising will most likely kick in before open beta.  At that point, the second "auction style" fundraising drive will have peeps going nutso for the remaining 500k tokens.  That will be fun to watch, I'm sure


EDIT: I would gladly and proudly display a peerplays signature, if one was available

[SwedishGirl]

Any interviews or videos with Neil Haran speaking about the project? His linkedin says the following about peerplays "Bringing provably fair MMO gaming to a new decentralized internet." MMO is actually a term reserved for different type of games and is not used for gambling/sports betting etc. Would love to hear what the man has to say about all this.

I hope to see some serious development before this auction because otherwise the guys contributing during these stage might get their tokens cheaper then us!

I guarantee there wjll be serious development before the auction.  No doubt about that.  It is currently scheduled for October.  Blockchain launch follows in November.

I love this idea.  I love that the team is quick to respond to questions asked by the community.  I love that this is so under the radar with only 1 million tokens (with no POS, forging, etc).  1 million....that's it.  Never any more.  

If this project comes to fruition, which it seems like it can and will, all the early investors will be riding high.  It doesn't matter if you bought the tokens for $2 or $3, because if successful, the gains will be mindblowing.  And with profit-sharing?  A diamond in the rough.

These reasons alone are worth taking a gamble on Peerplays.  I mean what is crypto anyway?
