[ANN] Hash Rush – Official News, Updates & Community Thread

[GideonGono]

Exchanges, we are well aware that the community would like us to be on more exchanges, and it is something that we are working on. When there is any news on that front we'll make a bit announcement.
For now, you may trade Rush Coin on EtherDelta and ForkDelta.

Sure, because EtherDelta is a total joke, can't even deposit there Really looking forward for some actually working exchanges!

That's a bit funny. I had used etherdelta many times which means I withdrawed and deposited many times successfully because if not then I shouldn't have used it again and again. I think we know what really is the problem when we use etherdelta. It is slow, lacking crucial features and etc. Personally, I would not recommend using it and just hold off your coins or tokens until it gets listed in a decent exchange.

Hi manager when bounty participants will get their rewards? thanks!

[HashRush[CM]]

The Hash Rush pre-alpha has come to an end and we've closed the server.

Thank you to everyone that took part, it’s been really awesome to see the reaction of our community to the game!



Now it’s time for us to look at what we’ve learnt and double down game development, working towards our Q3 2018 launch!

Now for some feedback for our community and followers.
Regarding EtherDelta, we are aware that a lot of people dislike the platform, and I can assure you that we are working to get listed on other exchanges. That said, EtherDelta (with the exception of the recent DNS hack) is not a bad platform, just as @GideonGono mentioned - it's slow. Do check out ForkDelta as it tends to work faster and as a community run project, they're working to fix the glaring problems of EtherDelta, read a bit more about it here.

@wgd - Hash Rush is a project (a game even) where the tokens have a real world use. It will serve as the in-game currency and among other things, you can use it to buy and sell in-game items. A real world example would be, if you play the game and then choose to stop - you can 'cash out' sell what you have for RC, then sell your RC and get either crypto or fiat currency back from it. This isn't a project where we've put out a token that has no practical use, and as such an exchange does not make or break the community.
That said - I don't want you to feel that we're not taking this matter seriously, as the Community Manager I am in contact with the project leaders about exchanges on a weekly (and sometimes daily) basis, I give you my word that they are working on it, however it just requires sometime.

@USBitcoinServices.Com please send me a private message and I'll look into it for you.

What is the forthcoming list on your exchange?

[GideonGono]

I'm patiently waiting and have great expectations regarding this project. I'm not really sure whether to trade it or just use it in the game but maybe both.

I just want to say that keep it up. I like how you keep in touch with the community time to time and reassuring us that this project will continue to move forward and be successful especially now that a lot of scam ICOs are popping out of nowhere. Nice to see that there are those people that can testify that this really is a working project. I commend you all.

[gogok]

Good feedback always calms me.
I think that the guys just try to do everything possible that they can. We must give them a little time.
On the exchange, I agree with the community. You need to go to another level.

Cool are you going to cooperate with Steam to boost your popularity?

[Dobrii]

I am happy with everything, maybe I did not get as many coins as I wanted, but in general, thank you and on this one. 

[GideonGono]

A question I have. I'm wondering whether the upgrades and other in game items which requires Rush Coin token (RC) varies depending on the price in the market or fixed? It may come to point that it would be expensive though I kinda doubt that since you'll release a lot of token by rewarding the players with RC and hence it may come to point that the market would be oversupplied so that really needs to be pondered upon and release new updates which they could spend more RC in game.

[SpiryGolden]

Awesome game.

I played the Alpha. Can't wait for a BETA! To be honest!

[HashRush[CM]]

Hey everyone!

Thanks for the shouts of support! After the reaction of our players to the pre-alpha, we're very sure that once the game is open to the world you'll all enjoy it as much as they did - even more so as the game will be fully complete!

@GideonGono
That's a great question, and I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that we have already considered this. Hash Rush has already hired an Economist that will be taking care of exactly your concern, even better by having him in the team from basically the start, he's very familiar with the game from bottom to top.
If you're curious to know a bit more about the person, his history and experience, we published an interview with him a couple of months ago, which you can read here.

*I'm going to update the announcement and news page so that all the interviews are there!

@dspencer
Steam is something that we are aiming for, however it will be tackled much later on (in the future) as we need to continue with the main-game development first.

For people that want to stay in touch with the community, I suggest joining our Discord Server and our Forums

hashrush maybe here is an interesting place for a new home exchange for rc: https://idex.market I think that there will be no problems to enter here. The Delta is very uncomfortable in usee

I feel the same way too. We do deserve a decent exchange. I believe it would not disrupt the development of the game by doing so. Hope you notice this request of ours.

I, too, are interested in this issue.  EtherDelta is not an option for a serious project like yours. I think that you guys are working on this problem, and we will soon see Rush Coin on other exchanges.

[Raizou]

The tests carried out in December were a success? Unfortunately I couldn't participate in the bounty campaign and neither of ICO held last year! But I'd like to buy some tokens, before some big news! Are the prices in Etherdelta fair at the moment?

HashRush[CM] your promotion is totally ineffective, do you see new people in this thread? Why there are no promotions during the creation of the game, I do not like running this project. Focus only on the game in crypto world hype, it's definitely not enough

When you have a product release to be done in Q3, then there is no need to start hyping it in Q1. Hashrush has nothing to offer right now, so why should it do promotions right now. And its not that they are sitting idle. They are doing the promotions where it needs to be done at this stage, i.e. presenting the game in blockchain conferences, game conferences etc. You first build industry contacts and then promote the product to the public. And if you had played the alpha then you would have known that the game is not a crypto hype. It is totally on another level.

And seriously, I don't understand why people are complaining so much about the exchanges. There are thousands of other coins which you can pump and dump around.

Thank you Siddartha, your comment is pretty much bang-on-perfect.

Our community needs to remember that Hash Rush is a game, and as such we need to adapt our growth and marketing strategy to the needs of a game. If we were to open the floodgates and build hype for Hash Rush now, I'm sure that we'd get a lot of attention from the mainstream media and a lot of people will be buzzing about the project, but that is a really bad idea.

To explain why:
Our release target is Q3 2018 (this year) which is still quite a while away. If we were to activate the media and generate hype behind the game - it would die out before we would be in a position to launch the game. An important thing to know is that once hype is dead, it is so much harder to re-activate that hype than to start it from scratch.

I know it sounds a bit daunting to hear that we're intentionally quiet now, but know that the Hash Rush team consists not only of cryptocurrency veterans, but also people who are hugely experienced in the gaming scene, especially in the marketing sector. The product is in as good hands as anyone could wish, just remember that this is not a pure crypto product so our strategies are different to other coins and tokens. Do check out the interviews of the various team members if you want to learn more about the Hash Rush team, I've listed them on the second post of this thread.

On Exchanges:
I do thank people for their suggestions on exchanges and we are looking into idex and others. If EtherDelta is not to your liking, please do check out ForkDelta it runs a lot quicker than EtherDelta. You can check out ForkDelta on Reddit to learn a bit more about them, it's a really promising project.

On the news front:
We recently interviewed the winner of the Hash Rush Creative Contest as it turned out that he makes Wooden and 3D printed toys for a living. Check out the interview here, it makes for a really interesting read: https://medium.com/@Hash_Rush/interview-with-wooden-toys-maker-hash-rush-creative-contest-winner-pepe-hiller-f5be803f56dc

siddartha1492 I understand, but take into that promotion is a process, often long and expensive. I saw many projects that wanted to make promotions when it was too late. I am asking you a few people who will see the game and forget about these conferences for a moment. The crypto market is very competitive, people who have money and the money are breaking through.

I think that hashrush is a great project, but many good projects have fallen into the abyss forever
