[ANN] ALAX - The Blockchain Game Platform for Emerging Markets

[king_of_alts]

I get the impression that lately the people in the background of the fall in the price of the cryptocurrency mania is everywhere to see the SCAM.

Of course certainly you precisely noticed this fact as a tendency. Many on such falling just begin to buy. And without knowing the majority what to do and what decision to accept, on panic begin to sell.

I think that buying these days is not a big mistake. BTC might go down a bit more but not 50% more.

Looks nice, but how can I be sure that it's not a scam ?

My first initial response to this question in my mind was, how can you not tell a scam from legit projects. Well you have a new account so i'll play along and explain.


First thing i am looking for in a product is team members from linkedin (make an account so you can dig in deeper) and
 find out if they are qualified, if this their field, how they are connected, what's their history, have they failed before and why?

And study whitepaper, is it vague? does it contain lot's off buzz words? does it promise a lot of financial gains? If yes, i am not investing.

Then again if by scam you somehow mean that will the price go down after ico, (it doesn't mean that but) then you should take a look how the tokens are divided, what are the discounts of presale, who get's what so you can tell how much is going to get dumped and when. How much advisories get? (it's basically free money for them) and how much are the bounties.

Study them and you have a better chance of guessing where the price is headed.
But study everything, more you study, and the more you'll dig deeper, the better edge you'll have.

I also think that, BTC price has already go down a lot. I see it difficult to go down much more.

Very good advices in here.

If you want a straight answer anyway, no this is not a scam, there are offcourse no guarantee that the project will have a tremendous success, but at least there are good starting points i believe.

Kudos to you man! Thats one good explanation on how to do your project homework

You must stick this words in every thread and in every slack/telegram channel. When a token drops in price after ICO (let's say couple of weeks after ICO), there are too many people calling devs scammers just because the price dropped down, it's not even funny anymore

Simple games are always the most popular especially if we talk about mobile gaming, don't tell me that angry birds and plant vs zombies are complex games

There will be only mobile games? For both platform (ios and android) ? Or web-games and pc?

There will be mobile games and apps in the store. The store is planned to be only for Android now since iOS isn't very widespread in the emerging markets and if someone has an iPhone he/she has probably also a credit/debit card. We want to focus primarily on unbanked people since we see there a huge potential.

members will publish their own games and will receive some % from sales? How much % from sales they will get and how much % your?

The store will function very similarly as the google play does. Developers will be registered and will be distributing their content to the customers. There will be only very low fees.

Not all the people are familiar with how markets work. Crypto is still pretty new and a lot of people still hope for very fast and very high gains. But we all know where free cheese is, right?

Where do you get that information from? What about second hand/refurbished iOS devices?

Of course, there may be some unbanked people who have second-hand iPhone but let's face the reality - this is only very small segment of the market and it is only logical that we are focusing on the main segment first. There may be iOS version introduced later on but our roadmap is now planned only until Q1 2019 when we should launch full platform for Android. There will be enough time for expansion plans later, once we will deal with all problems which may show up during our development and Beta phase.

But it's tedious, I see this in every ICO, if a token don't make a 10X increase after a couple of weeks people start calling devs scammers, like if it's devs fault if people dump tokens lol

I see you will accept payment by coins SophiaTX, do you cooperate with them? In the site has only 2 partners.

SophiaTX is also a Joint Venture of DECENT (and Venaco Group) and ALAX is a Joint Venture of DECENT and Dragonfly. That is why we are accepting SPHTX for TGE  

[ALAX_io]

These apps/games.....Will they be playable on smart tv's too?

This kind of things depends on developers. But I don't think that smart TVs are a big thing on the emerging markets among the unbanked people.

[ALAX_io]

I see you will accept payment by coins SophiaTX, do you cooperate with them? In the site has only 2 partners.

CEO of Alax also founder DECENT project and advisor in SophiaTH. Tokens will be build on Ethereum blockchain or Decent?

 ALX token will be an ERC-20 token in the TGE. Later, it will be swapped for DECENT DCore UIA (User Issuable Assets).

not the first ICO to do this, SophiaTX did the same thing with their ICO tokens.

And it might be a smart thing to do. Strengthen certain platforms by cooperation with each other instead of creating separated blockchains.

Yes, and in fact, token swaps are also not the first thing in general. There were a lot of projects who either swapped tokens for tokens or tokens for an own blockchain or from blockchain to token before. It's not such a big deal in my eyes, as long as the swap is well organized and people get enough time to do so.

Gaming industry is one of the fastest growing and multi millions dollars industry. How I see this platform is like opportunity for developers to sell directly their games and to let other know about their creative abilities to have a platform to use. While buyers will have same opportunity to get their favorite games at competitive price than usual market price. It is going to be useful for both parties and this makes it awesome.

Yes, especially on competitive games, because there are a lot of incentivizes to play it.
I think alax should try to reach as many of competitive games as possible.

Remember guys that this is a mobile platform at first. it's gonna be a long time before competitive games are added.

There are also many competitive games that are based on mobile actually, you can look at mobile legend, aov, pubg, fortnite, role of survival.

aov: previously Vainglory? I was about to write same thing, recently pubg mobile created a lot of hype mobile gaming, some of my friends are playing pubg even on lunch breaks without eating anything.

AOV = Arena Of Valor, its different from vainglory, vainglory is still exist out there.
These moba mobile games are started to hold a big tournament, I think they will follow the dota 2 path and become a hype, they are already hype in my country recently.

Why no create tokens at decent at once? Or Decent dont have smartcontracts for create tokens at this moments?

Tournaments with prize pools can be a good way to make the platform more popular - gamers from all over the world will unite in the struggle for leadership.

Blockchain de Decent seems to have done well to the project Sophia TX, I hope that when hosting Alax is even better, I have not yet seen an official announcement of this partnership, if it is official
