In the year 20XX, Central Banks have been eliminated.
For a brief time, humanity was at peace without worry of devaluation.
Without the power to infinitely counterfeit money, governments in their former cruel forms collapsed.

But shortly after, AI (Artificial Intelligence) started seeping into all the blockchains that humans relied upon.
AI activated forks & 51% attacks became rampant.

Just when humanity thought the situation was under control, new, more sophisticated threats emerged.
Cryptocurrencies began manifesting themselves into devices of physical destruction causing havoc across the planet.

With the vast majority of humans eliminated, the different blockchains began to turn on each other.

A new war for dominant value begins…


What is cryptoBLAST?

cryptoBLAST is a team-based multiplayer 1st & 3rd person arena shooter that uses BLAST.
The artwork, design, and economy of cryptoBLAST will be heavily "crypto"-themed throughout the game.


How will cryptoBLAST use the BLAST Blockchain?

In cryptoBLAST, players choose to represent themselves as their favorite "Crypto",
then connect to each other for highly competitive matches that revolve around team-based eSports-style competitions.

Upgrades for player weapons, armor, stats and paintjobs can be purchased with BLAST
and weapons will eventually be tied to the BLAST Masternode system (Blasternodes).

More game & tech info will be unveiled as development progresses.

- FAQ -

Who are you?
We are game industry veterans who have been fortunate enough to contribute to many exciting AAA quality titles in the game industry.
We are also fascinated by the blockchain industry and would like to combine both.

What will the gameplay of cryptoBLAST be like?
The goal is to feel like Overwatch meets Mario Kart while the artwork will cater to open-source projects within the crypto space.

How many different classes will exist in cryptoBLAST?
At the moment there are three.  Offense, Tanks (Defense) & Support.
Within each class there will also be multiple subclasses.
More info on this will come at a later time.

Is there an incentive to playing cryptoBLAST?
Matches will allow for BLAST wagering as well as other uses for the BLAST that you hold.

When will the game be released?
We are aiming for “sometime” in 2019.

When can we see more?
Updates will happen at least once per month for the cryptoBLAST game.
Updates may be at more random intervals for the BLAST coin wallet.

Will there be an open-beta?
TBD, but most likely.

Is this an ICO?
This is not an ICO.  It is a self-funded project.  BLAST is a PoW coin using the SHA-256 algo.

Why SHA-256?
We have a great deal of respect for the economics of bitcoin.
SHA-256 w/ AuxPoW allows BLAST to enjoy the security of BTC without competing for hashrate if pools choose to use the merged-mining feature.

Wouldn't raising funds through an ICO be easier?
Yes and no.  There are a lot of legal issues surrounding ICO’s we’d prefer to avoid.
If you would like to support what we are doing, please lend us some hashrate support.

Will any other currencies work with cryptoBLAST?
BLAST will be the only crypto that works exclusively with cryptoBLAST.

Use ipv6 when using this script.

Thanks to marsmensch for creating the original script.

- Creating a BLAST SegWit Address - (Segregated Witness)

Embedded p2sh SegWit is active on BLAST!
This activated near the beginning but I wanted to test it a lot first before announcing.

Addresses that start with the letter 'B' is legacy BLAST
Addresses that start with the number '8' is a new SegWit BLAST address.

To create a SegWit address please do the following...

1. Create new legacy address
2. Open the Console
3. Help > Debug Window > Console tab
4. Type addwitnessaddress YOURADDRESSHERE

A new address that starts with 8 will be created.  Sending BLAST to and from this new type of address will also appear on the block explorer.  Try it out!


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


- Vanitygen PLUS -

You can now use vanitygen to create addresses.

Please use the latest version.  Vanitygen PLUS v1.53
Download here ==> https://github.com/exploitagency/vanitygen-plus/releases

Getting Started

Extract the files,
open a terminal/command prompt,
change to directory containing vanitygen-plus binaries.

Running On Linux: ./vanitygen -ARGS, or ./oclvanitygen -ARGS, ./keyconv -ARGS, etc
Running On Windows: vanitygen.exe -ARGS, oclvanitygen.exe -ARGS, keyconv.exe -ARGS, etc

For generating addresses using the CPU(slower) use: vanitygen !
For generating addresses using the GPU(faster) use: oclvanitygen !

NOTES:All arguments are case sensitive!
Address prefix must be at the end of the command.
oclvanitygen requires OpenCL and correct drivers.

Get a list of the supported Coins with:
Linux CPU: ./vanitygen -C LIST
Linux GPU: ./oclvanitygen -C LIST
Windows CPU: vanitygen.exe -C LIST
Windows GPU: oclvanitygen.exe -C LIST

A list of all the supported crypto coins will be output.

Choose your coin from the list noting the ARGUMENT needed for the coin located in the left hand column.
For BLAST it is simply BLAST.

Now lets generate a BLAST address with the prefix "BTEST":
Linux CPU: ./vanitygen -C BLAST -o results.txt -i -k BTEST
Linux GPU: ./oclvanitygen -C BLAST -o results.txt -i -k BTEST
Windows CPU: vanitygen.exe -C BLAST -o results.txt -i -k BTEST
Windows GPU: oclvanitygen.exe -C BLAST -o results.txt -i -k BTEST

    -C BLAST : Chooses the BLAST coin
    -o results.txt : saves the matches to results.txt
    -i : case-Insensitive(do not add this flag to match exact case)
    -k : keep going even after match is found(do not add this flag to stop after the first match)
    BTEST : the address you are searching for(BLAST addresses start with "B")

If you have dependency errors on Linux or need instructions for compiling from source(Kaling Rolling/Linux) see link below:

I see this warning on wallet scren , whats this ?

" "Warning: Unknown block versions being mined! It's possible unknown rules are in effect","

[adorid]

There is pool:
http://hashpool.eu

[cryptojai]

Fair launch . I will join mining . Looking forward .

[bitmagic1984]

I see this warning on wallet scren , whats this ?

" "Warning: Unknown block versions being mined! It's possible unknown rules are in effect","

Same warning for me as well. Is that an issue ?

[bitmagic1984]

which exchange it will be listed first ?

" "Warning: Unknown block versions being mined! It's possible unknown rules are in effect","

The same thing is happening to me
there's something the dev can say

[xaeder]

Nice clean project. Although I hope the chain will be all right, due to that error message in wallet.

"Unknown block versions being mined!"

[cryptomen101]

which exchange it will be listed first ?

coinsmarket will be for sure for this one , looking forward to have this in yobit and cryptopia

[cryptomen101]

RPC Port:  64639 (Mainnet) / 64319 (Testnet)



whats is the test net ? 

[xaeder]

What are the payouts on the unnamed pool?

[bitmagic1984]

waiting for the update from dev for above queries regarding wallet issue and exchange listing.

[xaeder]

Dev is probably asleep, I hope the project isnt abandoned!

[Renegade1979]

Too bad people with GPUs can't mine it. Today I saw at least two coins, one scrypt and this one and both can't be mined with anything except ASICs. Nicehash seems to be down for good. And for damn good. G-d strafe those guys I hope they never come back

[xaeder]

You can always rent an asic miner cheaply, and such coins have very low hashrate. But i agree about nicehash. Hope they stay down and leave us miners alone!

Dev, any updates? Are you gonna continue working on the project, or is it purely community driven now?

[mpos-pools]

New pool

Ports:

Asics:         3589

Nice clean project. Although I hope the chain will be all right, due to that error message in wallet.

"Unknown block versions being mined!"

Hello and thank you for interest in BLAST!  Please ignore message.  Everything work as normal.

[xaeder]

Any exchange or promotion planned? As of now, there's only a handful of people mining on the entire network, need to raise awareness!
