[ANN] S P 8 D E - The iGaming DLT with Quantum Randomness at its heart.

[joblessminer]

As p8de is a protocol for decentralized blockchain based platform so where I can have it demo version to test please?
What's main benefits for token holder?

Regarding the demo: we are working hard to bring the demo to live in accordance with the roadmap. We are building on top of Cardano (ADA coin). Their technology is extremely sophisticated and quite new and many features that are unique to it and are also essential for bringing SP8DE live are still not released. Our target is to develop the beta by July-August,2018.

Holy shit, you guys are actually using Cardano's smart contracts? That's the first I've heard of anyone using it after hearing everyone talk about how amazing it's going to be.

That really is big news. I can't wait to see everything you can with Cardano's system.

We will do our best, bro. We have been watching closely the evolution of Cardano as a project and are proud to be among the pioneers of this amazing tech.

So do you have any idea when we will see more from Cardano?

I'm guessing you don't have anymore information on their platform than anyone else?

Would be amazing to get some insider info.

Can only disclose that we are not affiliated in any material way with either entity that has the direct or indirect relationship with funds and foundations behind Cardano.

Okay this makes sense. I'm too excited to see what ADA has to offer because I bought in pretty big when they were only $.03.

So basically you guys are like the companies who make the part that causes random number generation in slot machines? You're just providing a platform for everyone else to use your RNG?

I wonder what kind of regulation the RNG companies have to go through. Especially with them actually not being random and strongly benefiting themselves and the casinos.

It is more like standards than regulations (ISO) the compliance with which is thereafter verified by an independent third party, such as an auditing firm. Check these two links for more details:

Thanks. I find this stuff so interesting. I'd love to meet the team in person and discuss all the fine points. You guys must have incredible knowledge on the field.

Bro, our team is scattered all over the world, so probably we are close-by and can meet indeed. Where are you located?

Likewise, my man. And then, I had to sell it @ 12 to finance some of the expenses. So, I really really have the stake in this:)

[Bitventurer]

Are you guys getting a lot of traffic to the site since it's getting so close to the pre-ICO?

You bet we do, bro.
Well, in fact, we are pleased with the results so far, but mind that only pure enthusiasm of those involved has been the lifeblood of our humble but aspiring project so far: every bit of support is highly appreciated.

I can see why you're getting all the interest. I've never seen any similar platforms where you allow people to make games of chance with your tools. Is this the first of it's kind?

Or are there any other similar projects?

Don't want this to get buried.

DAO is similar in this resepct.

What would you say makes Sp8de better?

There is an entire part in the WP where we elaborate on this. In few words, we are more scalable, have better randomness, do not torture the devs with having to work with the ugly solidity and design our ecosystem in a way to avoid the mistakes others have made.

Their technology is extremely sophisticated and quite new and many features that are unique to it and are also essential for bringing SP8DE live are still not released. Our target is to develop the beta by July-August,2018.

We believe that speed of release should not be favored over the quality of the product: we respect our community and want to always beat the expectations.

The main benefits for the token holders are the following:
1. Be entitled to a part of the fees (we are POS-based);
2. The price appreciation is obviously the major factor: we opt for the deflationary model with capped supply, so assuming SP8DE gains in popularity and user base, the price of SPX will steadily increase;
3. Get the chance to win the jackpots: this is also a major motivator. Our ICO is designed to include random airdrops of large chunks of tokens, which we call jackpots and only the holders of SPX are allowed to participate.
4. Participate in the voting for the best DAPPS;
5. Many other features that are currently being designed and developed and are yet not disclosed to the public. Can't say much about these: can only say that we have many ideas are working hard on making the best of them come true as soon as possible.

Cardano foundation  have confirmed that Spade project is not connected to Cardano. what is your comment on this?

"Cardano FoundationGroup Admin It should be noted that this project is not connected to Cardano. We will always publicly announce our partnerships."

You don't have to be partnered with anyone to use their platform...

As I have mentioned multiple times and as we have indicated in all of our PR material, SP8DE is not in any way affiliated with IOHK or any other bodies related to the actual development of Cardano. Cardano is an open-source project and we make use of this feature. We have not been and do not intend to pursue any kind of cooperation between our entities, but purely technological: we are both open source, you know.

White Paper - https://sp8de.com/sp8de_white_paper.pdf
Short Paper - https://sp8de.com/short_paper.pdf

Fast Deck -  https://sp8de.com/fast_deck.pdf

Distribution
The entire token distribution will be 8,888,888,888 SPX of which 3,655,555,558.4 (41.125%)
will be in the form of token sale and 3,455,555,552 (38.875%) will be given as a jackpot to those who have participated in the “token sale” rounds.

The rest of the tokens 1,777,777,778 (20%) will remain with the team.
Tokens that remain with the team and the Sp8de Foundation might be locked for a period of one year after the ICO.
The SPX ERC-20 token will be distributed to all participants in the ICO after the end of the ICO itself.

Pre ICO Tokens will be called DSPX (for regulation reasons)
ICO Tokens will be called SPX.
After the Tokens will fully distributed all DSPX Tokens will become SPX

Cap
A soft cap of US$4,000,000 (four million) is set and the hard cap is 49,033 ETH.

Timeframe & Schedule
The token distribution begins on Monday, January 08, 2018 and ends on Sunday, March 11, 2018 and is scheduled as in the manner illustrated in Table 4 below. The Pre-Sale lasts for 24 days while each Sale phase will be seven days followed by a Jackpot that is distributed entirely within a single day after every Sale.

Sale Stages & Jackpots

The token distribution will be made in accordance with the following exchange rate of SPX for 1 ETH:

https://i.imgur.com/zYRGOba.png

In addition, airdrops in the forms of jackpots will be done as follows. (for detailed description see white paper.

https://i.imgur.com/f3wHiIj.png

https://i.imgur.com/ry4G5b5.png

Those participating in the earlier jackpot rounds have small chance of winning large lot, while those participating later on have larger chance of winning, but are rewarded with smaller lots. In addition, earlier contributors participate in more jackpot rounds: e.g. sale I investors try their luck four times, while those entering at sale III can only participate in two jackpots. This shouldn’t discourage late participation: the largest combined pool of prize tokens is played during the fourth jackpot round. For every lot we run a procedure which randomly selects one token out of those already issued. The holder of this token becomes the winner of the lot.
Each token being sold has a specific factor attached to it, the jackpot factor. The likelihood to win a lot is proportional to this factor. Mind, that jackpot factors are ordered: even within one sale round, earlier contribution is rewarded with more ‘powerful’ tokens. The distribution of these factors for every round is shown in the table below.

https://i.imgur.com/mwZVa55.png

Tokens Not Sold
The proceeds of the token sales as well as the tokens that remain in possession of the team will be used to promote and develop the project as outlined in the Road Map section of this paper. In the figure below, we show how the proceeds will be utilized. When needed the tokens allocated to the Spade Foundation and the team might be used for further promotion and as part of an incentives scheme.

I figured as much. All these other tokens are ERC-20 based, doesn't mean Ethereum is going to list all 1500 of them as partners lol...

[DaMaNiAc]

Looks like an interesting project and well thought out. Chipped in a couple of hundred $$. Any idea how quickly the tokens are transferred? Just says pending on the Transactions page.

Good luck.

Thank you!
Regarding the confirmation time: it really depends on the Ethereum network, but still, it's not Bitcoin, so won't take too long.

Let me clarify to avoid any confusion: the ICO smart-contract is ERC20 and is, therefore, written on Solidity. SP8DE itself will be based on the general purpose as well as application specific programming languages developed for scripting purposes on the Cardano blockchain.

Or are there any other similar projects?

Don't want this to get buried.

DAO is similar in this resepct.

The ICO smart contract is solidity based. Our ecosystem itself will be based on the scripting language developed for programming smart contracts on Cardano - Plutus. The applications will most likely be developed using Simon. Check https://whycardano.com/, scripting section in particular for more details.
