[Cryptorials]

can anyone else check if their cards are in game,  im on correct version.   last palyed last night everything was fine??

ALL my blockchain cards are gone??

Yeah mine aren't showing either. Thank god they are blockchain cards so I can see they are still safe in my wallet, just not showing right now in the game.

[pinkie31]

Cards came back in wallet, did a quick raid and cards are gone again.    Maybe some sort of update underway?

Hello, regarding the issue with blockchain cards disappearing (reported by a few people above): this is a temporary Indiesquare API issue, we cannot influence it, but it shouldn't last for a long time..sorry for the inconvenince

[hnin]

A new game update is available on your store!

card trade is totally blocked, cant pay 30$ transaction fee for a 5 $ card ... buy / sell order are vanishing

Just keep trying, I firstly give it 0.11$ for transactions or even 2$ and didn't went trough, because bitcoin gained in value so much and because of that there are a lot of transactions, and offcourse miners will focus on more profit, etc... but sometimes I give 1,5$ or even 0.50$ and goes trough... depends on bitcoin very much, because counterpaty is on bitcoin blockchain so obviously there will be trouble when the price of bitcoin is going high in the sky and with overload network.... the big problem is when you send that card and if it isn't arrived before bitcoin rises in price, probobly won't go trough... Blockchain is a new thing, overloading the network is a problem that probobly won't be solved but look on a bright side, if the transaction hasn't went trough, you get bitcoins back, unlike for ethereum blockchain, ETH a whole different story...

in the past i did the same thing, low fees and looong wait, but now trading is impossible
fees and pending tansactions are too high and the problem can only get worse

What I was going to comment, these fees are breaking any buyer, I hope all responsible rethink these fees charged

Seems BCY survived last BTC crash best. Is only green coin in my portfolio. A pleasant surprise for a change.

Can you switch new blockchain instead slow bitcoin network?

Steem blockchain good to use. No fees. Otherwise bitshares.

BCH or LTC should be easier, since they are BCT forks

Blockchainized a card and it feels so good

how much time since it is really in the bockchain = transcation confirmed = you can see it in BOO ?

A couple days. The question is, how long until all the other blockchain games (Beyond the Void, Augmentors, Age of Rust, SaruTobi, etc.) enable cross-integration? I think Age of Rust is probably ahead of the others

[Bit_Joe]

Any up date on the Nova Crystalis project?

Will players be able to create cards and blockchainise their creations?

[adamvp]

I would like to ask you:
what is the best place to trade SoG cards?
I tried BoO but it isn't many traders there

hoping for next all time high

[adamvp]

i have 3 transaction pending ... 6 days, switch to BCH please, we cant trade with bitcoin
my new bockchainaized card is pending also ... sigh

I got mine in half hour.  Yes right now mempool is full again. Eventually BTC will get fixed.

is the quantity of tokens limited?

Not only that but quantity decrease since tokens gets burned monthly.

What about unsold cards?  Aren't they supposed to get burned as well when not sold.  Is EDS the big whale for cards?  See for example Age of Rust.  They burn any card unsold.  Makes them really rare and it creates more trust on the side of the collector and player.
How can the market decide what price a certain card is when a big chunk of the cards is withheld by the issuer and can be dumped on the market at will any time?
I believe that the Satoshicard was the only card burned.  But let me know if I am wrong.

Unsold cards are being put on sale at some points in future, so more BCY gets burned.

That is sad that your unsold game assets aren't burned.  Just think about it; there is a reason that less and less cards are being sold.  And the less cards sold leads to less BCY burned, which in turn creates a vicious circle: less cards sold ---> less BCY burned ---> decline in BCY price ---> less demand for cards as less players interested to get card rewards due to declining price --->less BCY burned . ---> etc

A good game economy is Age of Rust.  Check how they are handling their assets and coins.  Not to mention that the rewards for solving puzzles includes bitcoins.  The higher the bitcoin price (which is more likely than this to happen to a shitcoin), the higher the reward, the higher the number of players, the higher the price for their ingame assets and coins.

To make my point about how bad the BCY burn trend is, lets compare the last few months with previous years:
Sept-Oct 2015: 523,000 BCY burned
Oct 2016: 72,000 BCY burned
October 2017: 18,000 BCY burned

Nov 2015: 711,000 burned
Nov 2016: 252,000 burned
Nov 2017: only 33,000 burned

The more cards EDS is holding (mega whale), the less valuable those cards will be, and the less BCY will be burned.  Burn EDS unsold cards, then you will see a higher burn rate, and higher card prices along with higher BCY price.  BCY could finally be able to keep up with Bitcoins.

Definitely:
It should be fixed amount of card of a kind:
For example if EDS would like to release new card with parameters close to another
as many cards of "old" kind should be burned as "new" released!!!!!!!!!!!
For example:
There are 1000cards  Fire spell EPIC called Fire Angel. 111of it sold to players,
and EDS would like to release "Chariot of fire" with same parameteres;
If they would like to issue 500cards they should burn 500 "Fire Angel" before!!!

It could be difficult because new owners cannot change privkey of your pubkey holding all assets
but this could be good idea - ability to transfer whole account to new keypair in one tx ;>

i used to
then BTC fee killed the market

[adamvp]

so BCY should  switch  to cheaper blockchain I am afraid... or we should make a pressure to rise bitcoin block limit
