[🅸🅲🅾][ANN] CRYPTUMCOIN AND CRYPTUM GAMES ICO

[icolsuineg]

Cryptum [CRTM] is funding an ever expanding high-end board games design and publishing line, starting with the first crypto mining strategy board game named “Blockchain: The Cryptocurrency Board Game”. The boad games project will receive 95% of the funding, with no team allocation, and will pay back 20-40% of profits for any game we publish, based on Kickstarter/Indiegogo campaigns, direct retail sales and wholesale orders through the distribution channels.

5% of the ICO funds are helping us in the development of the Cryptumcoin together with Crypto Mining Blog and launching in December 2017 - a promising new mineable cryptocurrency we plan to use for our services after it matures (please read the Pre-Announcement thread here for more details).

Cryptum tokens sold during the ICO will serve three main purposes:
· Access to shared profits pool (20-40%) from any board games we publish. Detailed explanation of the concept and expected profits are in our Whitepaper ·
· Free games with free shipping from the board games project - based on the amount of tokens owned (check under Tiers on our website) ·
· Initial amount from the Cryptumcoin pre-mine (check the Cryptumcoin thread, under "ICO Sale Information") ·

CURRENT CRYPTUMCOIN PRE-MINE: 475,283 CRYC. CURRENT CRYC/CRTM rate: 10.27:1

CURRENT POST-SALE BONUS: 16,520 CRYC (590 @ TOP 28 CONTRIBUTORS)

(ENDED)STAGE II CRTM SOLD: 7,057.23 CRTM
(ENDED) STAGE I CRTM SOLD: 19,776 CRTM

Cryptum Token owners will be able to gain free access to our board games with free shipping almost anywhere in the world without ever losing their tokens, amounts from our mineable cryptocurrency Cryptumcoin [CRYC] based on the calculated rate, but more importantly - they will receive optional shared profits from all of our successful projects.

We will ship for free to any country - within reason. We obviously cannot ship to warzones, countries with civil unrest or countries that lack normal posts infrastructure, or they are located in the most expensive shipping zones (distant islands and so on).

Cryptum Tokens are based on the Ethereum blockchain and the reason we are using the technology is to be able to create simple proof-of-ownership pass to all of the token features, based on a claim process, with unclaimed funds being redistributed in future rounds. Similarly, we will use the token ownership-based claims to distribute a pre-mine of the Cryptumcoin in December 2017. The Stage I Sale ended with nearly $136 000 raised for 19,776 the CRTM Sold, and we made a number of changes for the second stage, including cancellation of one of the initial project and reducing the volume of available Cryptum tokens.

For a full team list, please check the About us section on the website. Our team is the core team being the largest and oldest Bulgarian IT community (hardwareBG.com Forums, the core team is the admins Ba4o Kiro, GrigorBG, geniusloci and Bloody) and the heart of two successful businesses - HardwareBG.com and BoardGames.BG. We have some amazing contributors and partners in the face of one of the top mining blogs - Crypto Mining Blog and our long term partner and leading game development company Imperia Online.

	Simply put, Nikolai is the visionary or the project and a co-founder of the ICO. He worked in the IT industry for nearly 15 years as a reviewer, magazine editor, PR specialist, and product manager, before he started his own company dealing with board games and turned his hobby into successful business. He has been into mining since 2010, and is now working on the mining board game Blockchain.	Anton is a huge tech enthusiast and the leading figure behind so many online projects that even we stopped following all of them. Hardware, 3D/VR, 3D printing, software, actually anything IT-related, and a whole lot of hobbies to complement his already impressive skills. He's responsible for most of the software development for the Cryprum projects, and we greatly value his knowledge and experience.	Kiril is our chief technology expert. One of the co-founders of the leading Bulgarian IT community at hardwareBG.com and the company with the same name, a skilled technician with plenty of experience dealing with almost every possible hardware or software-related problem, and even more knowledge when it comes to cryptocurrency mining, we have him working on the development and support for any mining-related project.	Another of the hardwareBG.com founders, Grigor is the lead technical advisor of the Cryptum project. He has been into mining ever since it became a thing, and, after years of working on different mining ventures, he has an extensive knowledge of the supply chain and demand, management and scalability, and possible issues and solutions for any scale of cryptocurrency mining operations.

There is no team allocation in Cryptum. We are adding a small marketing expenses allocation for the Stage II Sale, with most of the ongoing expenses being drawn from the Cryptumcoin pre-mine pool, as these are the only expenses we are facing currently. We will not advertise through paid channels, considering the advertisement prices raised to insane levels and their overall value doesn't add much to the actual contribution to the ICO, based on our experiences during Stage I Sale and the theoretical maximum funds we can raise.

Project goal

We want to establish a high-end board games publishing studio, using a blockchain-based funding to break the traditional board games funding cycle, relying to Kickstarter or corporate funding. We will still use Kickstarter for profit and marketing purposes, as there is no better marketing tool available, but we would not depend on it. In order to ensure higher profits for the token owners and long-term funding for our game line, we will make a partial investment in a mining farm and offer shared profit from the moment it starts working (for 24 months at its full power or equivalent at lower processing power).


Board games

BLOCKCHAIN: THE CRYPTOCURRENCY BOARD GAME is the first high-end strategy game involving the  cryptocurrency mining process and investment. The game features:

• 1-5 player competitive gameplay
• Under 90 minutes play time
• 85* coins for mining
• 15* ICOs/TOKENS
• 25 algorithms
• Hardware ranging from a single CPU to mining rigs and ASICS
• Small share of exchange mechanisms are in the base game

* Numbers may vary because of KS stretch goals and paid additions
** Missing currencies may be added upon request for a fee

There are four planned expansions for the base game, featuring additional mechanics, market updates, new cryptocurrencies, new hardware and rig upgrades. The expansions will add exchanges, mining farms and forks, and the final expansion will introduce complete revamp of the gameplay mechanics.
* More expansions may be released depending on product success

We have one game nearly ready to be published (in beta test soon) -  Primewarp: Genesis is a post-cyberpunk PvP/PvE game, mixing realistic sci-fi and dark fantasy in a narrative story, and featuring some unique, never seen before gameplay mechanics. The game is massive, with 18 map tiles, over 600 cards, 15+ different great models sculpted by Francesco Orrù (total number of miniatures TBA).

Our plans also include two more AAA games that would be announced closer to completion. Both of them will receive lots of attention by the hobbyists. Every game we publish will be kickstarted in order to gain a maximum marketing value of each new project.



Our plan to make Cryptum Tokens profitable for you

Cryptum tokens are basically a subscription for our future games (with artifical inflation of the required number of tokens based on tiers). On top of that you can claim a part of each new game profit based on your token ownership (details announced separately) and initial amount of our upcoming Cryptumcoin (TBA).

• They are not cheap to begin with: 0.02 ETH / 0.00135 BTC per CRTM token
• Every 25/35/65/100+ tokens you own can give you free access to different package of games
• We do not exchange your tokens in order to give you free games. We only check if you own them
• The number of tokens you have to own becomes higher for access to more games
• You get free cryptocoins [CRYC] once the coin is launched (1 CRTM = ? CRYC)
• We share 20% from the profits of the first board game line and up to 40% from other games
• The shared profits gets higher for games with larger profit later on the line

Cryptumcoin [CRYC]

We would release a new crypocurrency initially accessible to all token holders.

• ASIC-proof
• GPU-only mineable
• Value-bind
• Secure
• User friendly software (wallets and miners)
• Anti-instamineable via small initial blocks
• Highly-prospective, based on the number of coins mined and periodically halving of amount mined
• Free coins for token holders
• Airdrops to top holders
• Accessible on a wide range of exchanges
• Planned to be accepted as a payment method for our board game project

UPDATE: Games information:

For the Primewarp game development you can check Cute Lizard's page, the 3D sculpts are being pushed even now (albeit at a slower rate as we have to pay for each of them, and right now there is a conflict of interest between paying sculpts and paying for Cryptum advertisement, one of my big rants), the art is 100% done and paid to Nicolas Nexz (and much of it is on the page), but we don't have final layouts, and considering there are over 500 cards, this will take a while. Then there is half the boards to be finished, we have the basic layouts from the artist that worked on them, but all the details and lighting on 9 of the steampunk-ish tiles and on one of the sci-fi tiles are not added yet - again, because its a full time job, and right now it's lower on the priorities list.

About the Blockchain game - the graphics are the last thing to come to the game (after all, they depend on the ICO), so no pictures. Below are the lists of algos and coins included so far, mind you - we will probably add more as stretch goals during the KS campaign. In fact I will compile an article and put it on the website, none of us considered it that important, testing mechanics and rules doesn't require that information (we have just numbers there) and it's considered part of the final workings, and some of them might change, considering there will be some changes on the market by the time the game enters more active development.

Of course, right now we are mostly concentrated on the sale, listings and so on, considering the game depends on its result. If the funds are low at the end of the sale we may consider pushing Primewarp to top priority, as it's in later stage of development, and the funds it would generate would pay for the work on the Blockchain. Ofc, this is just theorycrafting...

Reserved

https://cryptum.co/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/vegaz-logo-sm.png?x24915

Remember, new coins can be added later via KS stretch goals, social votes or by paid service:
- 0.5 BTC fee (if the algorithm is already included): includes a set of cards representing your cryptocurrency and simulating solo and pool mining, coin evaluation for the purposes of in-game profit in comparison with other currencies included in the game;
- 1.0 BTC (if the algorithm is already included in the game): includes all of the above plus a stretch goal during the Kickstarter campaign, auto-inclusion in any expansions we release afterwards, and a mention whenever we publish information about the game;
- 1.5 BTC (even if your algorithm is not included): all of the above, but we will include a new algorithm in the game and we will make sure it's featured in one of the expansions descriptions.
- Only during the Cryptum ICO stage I or II sales: by purchasing CRTM for as much as one of the above options during the sale. This way you keep your CRTM and their features.

Watching this coin so good luck to devs

Thank you!

indonesian translator reserved.

Since the board games will be published only in English (based on our experience, with the amount of English terminology involved and we'd prefer nearly language-independent components instead of translations), and we are practically selling English games subscription, we will not translate the project to other languages. This being said, the games may receive rules translations as part of their campaigns, community efforts or local publishing partnerships.

This project looks interesting, I hope you can compete with other projects, because in this month ICO very much.
Do you have any special plans?

This project looks interesting, I hope you can compete with other projects, because in this month ICO very much.
Do you have any special plans?

I can't think of many projects that have even comparable overall value. May be some of the digital world product access tokens, but they are very hard to evaluate for most people, so they stick to the PR and hype. We are launching this because we were frustrated by all the pointless ICOs as much as everyone else while we had much better idea how it should work.

There is some good publicity on the way, we haven't even announced the game in the hobby world, and it's nothing short of unique, and tied to a very unique project. Right now we are busy submitting the sale to all the ICO listing websites (darn there are many), it should start to pop-up in a day or two



BTW, some personal thoughts:

I hope people would make a right choice regarding the project. It's simple: we get a working high-end game publishing business in less than few months time (it would take us 1-2 years any other way) and a long term funding for it, people get a high value, high demand token that pays for itself for 2 years + as long as we keep publishing games, and on top of that gets them lots of free stuff. And it might finally draw quite a few people outside the ICO crowd, which would be a small miracle by itself.

Everyone is happy.

We are not allocating 5-50% for friends and family (ehem, co-founders and investors, right), apart from 100 000 we'd keep for the Stage II sale (but we'll burn any unsold), we don't have 3 bosses with limousines around us to keep most of the money, no dumping the ETH right away for dollars, and certainly not using a generator for ICO PR like 90% of the stuff sold atm (sure we can sprinkle some more decentralized, digital, blockchain, anonymous, secure, future, assets, etc.). Short of someone copying the whole idea, there is nothing to compare it to. But then they'd have to hire half a corporation of people to do a 5-men's job, so the money would be wasted.

Our review of Cryptum - https://coins.best/ico-reviews/cryptum/

While I might disagree on some of conclusions, namely the team rating - the 4 core members are easy to find, and the rest are somehow irrelevant to the rating, but I understand that this is comparison rating and we don' live to the hype of having few famous members) and the overall conclusion regarding the blockchain knowledge and suitability (it's entirely possible to make the games w/o the blockchain, but absolutely impossible to fund them in this manner and create a mini economy including them in any other way), I still thank you for the honest review, it gives us some insight on what and where we need to improve before the launch.

[icolsuineg]

There was a now missing question about investor protection (if I understood correctly, unless the person was asking about data security )

Well, there is none, we have zero desire to bring local bureaucracy and blockchain technology together, it's 2017 and they still have problems understanding PayPal. It's de facto bonus system over the token trade cost and you get it by a smart contract (or in case of BTC payment - manually, but that's common enough). It's not much different than normal crowdfunding in the games businessл We keep absolute control over the funds so we can work freely with anyone and however we see fit, We stand by names and businesses, and anyone can make a trust-check, even if he has to work around Google translate a bit.

Still, for your peace of mind, we have some news regarding a big corporate back we are going to lean to. Will be announced in few days.

For now, some news:

This is information in advance:
We will be announcing some limited bounties in a few days. Since most of them are requiring information research, if anyone wants to prepare, here is a list of qualifying info we would require in some or other way:
- How much funds were raised in 2016 in Kickstarter in the Tabletop subcategory.
- Top games for the year in KS?
- Same questions for 2017, up to July, no need to be extremely accurate.
- What is the best mining GPU on the market (with some argumentation).
- Which were June and July most profitable GPU algorithms
- Was there ever anything else named Cyptum?
We will hide the bounties in our twitter, so follow us and check in few days for the first clues.

There will be a separate bonus for information about Cryptum submitted in news and blogs. And we are all forum admins with 15+ years of experience, and we pass the I'm not a robot check, so anything blatantly stolen from whatever information we published will be disqualified.



Other news:
We just published Whitepaper v2.2: https://cryptum.co/CryptumWhitepaperV2.pdf
We had to change the name of the 4th game because CD Project copyrighted "cyberpunk" and their game is actually called 2077, so the year was out of the question too. Strange coincidence, obviously a decision we made subconsciously w/o even bothering to check outside the board games world: https://cryptum.co/our-cyberpunk-game-will-be-renamed/
Crypto Mining Blog are officially taking part in the project: http://cryptomining-blog.com/9035-the-first-crypto-mining-board-game-coming-soon-thanks-to-crypto-crowdfunding/

[icolsuineg]

Another huge update!
- Cryptum ICO announces strategical CRTM token changes - we are limiting the sale to 1 100 000 CRTM.
- Bounties announced! Be sure to follow us in Twitter and Facebook for hints and clues when a Question is out!
- We are not shutting down. But there is a small catch now: you are "pre-ordering games" from now on.
- New roadmap. A long one, and we haven't even included everything as we have a timeline that is hard to predict.
