Just an update to say Happy Canada Day!

The official opening of the ICO is upon us.

Based on most recent estimates it looks like the opening block (3,960,000) will be upon us at approximately 7:30pm Eastern Time today. This is a bit later than we expected, but that’s due to block times being quite a bit slower than we initially expected at launch.

We’re starting to get some real interest via the website, email, and some follow-up via our slack channel. We’re very excited for the ICO to open up, and allow our supporters to back us, so we can make BattleDrome a success!

We have completed the instructions for ICO Participation. (instructions for additional wallets/clients coming soon!)

Please see the ico_participation.md file on github for full detailed instructions for a number of wallets at:
https://github.com/BattleDrome/token_and_ico/blob/master/ICO_INSTRUCTIONS.md

Using those instructions, you simply need to wait until the contract starts (approximately 1pm Eastern Time on July 1st, or whenever the contract “isStarted” function returns “true”).
At which point the ICO sale is open, and all contributions are welcome (and encouraged!)

Thanks for your interest, and if you have any problems, or need help at all, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us on Slack at:
http://www.battledrome.io:8080/

or via email at [email protected]

Seems awesome project for the future
And use trusted escrow we will see that this project will success
Waiting for information about bounty to spread the words about battledrome

Hey! Thanks for the feedback!

Yes we felt it was very important to use a very trusted Escrow, and to build as many safety features in for investors as we can:
  • Funds in ICO Contract automated, blockchain verifiable, open source.
  • If we don't hit minimum goal, everyone is guaranteed to get their money back direct from the contract
  • Trusted Escrow receives the funds
  • Slow release of funds to developers
  • Budgets such as operating and marketing require justification on public document and approval by escrow before release
  • Key design points around optimizing value of the token for investors
  • 100% transparency wherever possible is one of our key goals

With these features we hope that it will make BattleDrome a safe and exciting investment for our contributors, and that will hopefully lead to a very successful ICO letting us bring this platform to reality!

As for bounty announcement, look for it shortly after July 1st, once we're past the initial start date, we will quickly sort out a Bounty Budget and announce our plans.

Thanks!

Hey dev, this project seems interesting, I like the blend between Gaming and Blockchain.
I hope the bounties would include social media bounties and translations.
I would like to reserve translation to Filipino if needed.
Also, could you guys show us a little peek of what's in the game?
Some screenshot would be great. Smiley


Hi! Thanks for the comments!

Unfortunately we didn't consider bounties in the original marketing plan, we underestimated interest in this aspect of the campaign. We are considering it, but with the short amount of time before the ICO start, we haven't time to sort out bounty details before then.

That said we do plan on releasing some kind of Bounty plan once the ICO Begins (which is only 3 more days!)

Whatever we release will be a small portion of the already slated Developer Portion. (in otherwords it won't affect the proposed budget at all, we will give up a share of our 5% cut to fund bounties).

As for your request for a screenshot for the game, currently in the dev roadmap you'll see that we don't have plans to begin the Spectator Engine until after the Alpha is released. Most of the complexity has been in developing a robust set of rules and mechanics that can be enforced purely in the blockchain without too high a cost in gas, or impact in performance. This is where all of our development effort has been focused so far. And we have completed the prototype of the on-chain game engine.

However we have no visual UI or aspects at this time to show. However with our existing experience in game development, and leveraging industry leading game engine technology, we expect to be able to develop a visual demo very early on in the development cycle.

While I understand it would have been helpful to have a visual example during the campaign, it is a simple matter of where our time and investments are best spent. And up until this point that has been on the core technical challenges. The Spectator Engine has it's own set of challenges, but none of them have anything to do with the look and feel of the game.

In addition, it is our hope that the look/feel and visual style of the game is something we intend to put to vote shortly after ICO completion (along with several other decisions along the development cycle) so that those who have invested in FAME can use their FAME balance to vote on how they want the features to play out (or how they want the game to look). Will it be retro style? Or AAA Realistic graphics? 2D? or 3D? etc... We want to pose those questions to the top investors, and end-users, and let them decide as we complete development.

As a result for a number of reasons, having a visual demo at this stage is simply impossible. Hopefully you can appreciate that, and understand why we made those decisions.

Thanks again for your interest! Hopefully we can look forward to working with you after the successful completion of the ICO!

The ICO Contract is now LIVE on the main-net!
chriseth of the Solidity Dev Team kindly volunteered some of his time to give us a code review. Based on his findings we made a few tweaks to the ICO contract, and ran it through a full round of additional testing.

As of last night, the ICO Contract is now LIVE! That means you can now verify directly with the contract, that everything is ready to go, and once the contract state changes from “started=false” to “started=true” you can begin contributing to the ICO.

The ICO Contract maintains all required state, making it easy to check/verify status of the ICO throughout, and verify your balance, etc.

The deployed address of the ICO contract on the main net is:
0xeaAf270436a0ed397ED23BBF64DF7b1DCAfF142F

If you have Parity, you can simply add the ICO contract to your watch list, and then from there you can view it’s status, or execute functions.
In addition, for just viewing status, and querying balances you can do that directly via EtherScan, the source code has been verified via their service. Which means if you go to the token address above via their search, and click the “Read Contract” tab, or you can go to this link:
https://etherscan.io/address/0xeaaf270436a0ed397ed23bbf64df7b1dcaff142f#readContract

From there, you can view all the variables in the contract, or query the constant methods such as balances of an address, etc. Directly via the Etherscan web interface.

Coming very soon (likely next 24h) I’ll post another blog entry with detailed instructions on how to contribute, followed by a detailed post about the various methods/variables and what they do (or you can just go read the source code on our github account if you’re familiar with Solidity).

Now it’s just a waiting game. The ICO will open approx 1pm Eastern Time, on Canada Day (July 1st). At which point it will begin accepting contributions!

It’s all in the hands of the blockchain now! (and of course, you, our soon-to-be-contributors)

Coinschedule just posted an ICO Spotlight article on BattleDrome.
http://blog.coinschedule.com/ico-spotlight-interview-with-paul-mumby-from-battledrone/

For those of you interested you can see the answers to some questions they asked me in the interview.

Just a quick update to say that the Solidity Source Code for our ERC20 Standard, the FAME Token, and the ICO Contract have been released. They are now live on our github account at:
https://github.com/BattleDrome/token_and_ico

In addition the source code for the FAME Token contract has been validated and associated with the contract on Etherscan.io at:
https://etherscan.io/address/0x190e569be071f40c704e15825f285481cb74b6cc

You can click on the “Source Code” tab to view the verified/signed source, and access methods.
We are now seeking a third party code-review of the ICO source code, before launching it finally on the main net in lead up to the full ICO launch on July 1st!

Just a quick update post to let you all know:
the FAME token is now LIVE on the main-net!

We have successfully completed extensive testing of the FAME token, and have now deployed it to the main net!

The FAME token has the following specs currently:
  • Symbol: FAM
  • Name: FAME
  • Token Contract Address: 0x190e569bE071F40c704e15825F285481CB74B6cC
  • Registered in Parity Token Registery
  • Fully transactable in parity with standard tools
  • Image Registered (nice end-user experience)
  • Total Supply (currently) 2.1 Million FAME
  • Currently held in secure BattleDrome Dev Account (until we deploy the ICO contract)

Note: Total Supply is CURRENTLY 2.1M. This will potentially change (shrink) depending on the outcome of the ICO. Any un-sold tokens will be burned, reducing the total supply on the token contract.

Note 2: Currently the Dev account holds the tokens. Once the ICO contract completes it’s round of testing (it’s a more complex contract, and requires a bit more testing) we will deploy it, and then all FAME will be transferred to beheld by the ICO contract (well before ICO launch date). This will be verifiable on-chain.

Tomorrow, we’ll be validating the contract source against the contract on Etherscan.io, and releasing the source code for the Token and ICO contract on our github account.

I’ll release an updated post when that happens.

One step down, several more to go!

something different, nice that you guys are trying something out of the ordinary. I wont invest in the ICO but if all goes to plan I might pick some up later down the track.

Good luck!  Cheesy

Hey thanks for your feedback! Glad you think so, we felt it was a fairly unique idea, that has some strong potential for future growth etc. That's why we decided to launch it Smiley

Maybe we can entice you to toss in an ETH or two before the end date comes up Wink lol

total coin ?
ICO Price: 100 FAME per ETH
ICO Minimum Goal: 500 ETH Raised  Roll Eyes

Hi, thanks for the question. The reason it's stated this way is because the total supply will flex down depending on the outcome of the ICO.

But to translate, the minimum goal is 50,000 FAME tokens, with A maximum sold of 2Million FAME. There is no pre-mining, no pre-sale, etc. There is 5% above what is sold, reserved for Devs but that's it. (we are considering adding another 5% for bounties etc, but that's still being debated). Also the reason for the minimum goal, is if we don't raise 500 ETH, the whole thing is rolled back, everyone gets their ETH back, etc. And all the minted tokens go back to the devs for now. (much like the "kickstarter" model, this doesn't preclude us from attempting again in the future, but if we don't meet the minimum goal, for all intents and purposes we call it off).

there are currently 2.1 Million tokens being minted which covers the absolute ceiling of 20,000 Ether for a total of 2 Million tokens sold plus the 5% extra for the dev team. But if we only raise 1000 ether for example, that means 100,000 coins get sold, and another 5000 coins reserved for devs. For a total of 105,000 coins. The remaining 1,995,000 tokens will be burned (which is supported directly in the ERC20 Token contract managing FAME), resulting in a reduction in total supply to only 105,000 total. Following this no more can ever be minted.

Since this question has come up more than once, I'll try to clarify further. I do have a FAQ entry on this on the main website, it's also explained in the token section, and I tried to answer it in an earlier post on this thread as well.

Hopefully this clears it up, and I'll try to provide a clearer picture of how this works in the FAQ.

Nice concept and presentation, you did it right by getting the right and trusted escrow.
But your token name is already in-use by another coin, the FAME coin (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annfamelaunchedfamecoin-viral-photo-sharing-on-blockchain-with-tippings-1612602)

Thanks for the heads up Smiley we did find that one in our initial research, and you are correct in that FAME Coin ran an ICO, however from everything I've been able to find I can't find their actual token in any of the established token registries. It was traded on an exchange at one point in time, and the developer ran off without finishing it. From what I could find it was ultimately de-listed on any trading exchanges.

The goals/intent of the two coins are nothing alike as well.

We may run into some issues overcoming any previous stigma the name carries, but it's a suitable name, and I think it will work well.

Ultimately we're confident ours will succeed and that one will be forgotten.
