Not that I know the answer but since the "team" isn't gonna respond here anyway... I think this might be a legitimate loophole, or at least the "team" thinks it is. I doubt Apple and Google would be able (or even care) to control the flow of in-game tokens outside of their devices. So the game could use the magic secret "API" and sync the electrons with the ionomy PNGs.
Of course the question then is: who in their right mind - except hardcore bagholders - would bother setting up ionomy accounts and spend money on atoms to get "free" electrons in game? I can see how it may appeal to whales and founders who already own shitloads of otherwise useless atoms and have no choice but praise and shill and use everything ionomy produces, but for the average mobile gamer with an attention span of a squirrel on cocaine... this would be a resounding "meh" even if the game itself is not complete shit.
tl;dr: you're not supposed to question it. Repent.
Those useless Electron are good for doubling the APR on Ionomy stakers... Twice the profit!!!
Once again, not even close to answering the question. Definitely makes you more than qualified to provide input on a platform. Way to be the face of ION, you're doing great things for them. Keep it up WildShill.
Where do those coins come from when a staker gets magically doubled?
The staker does not get doubled, the staking rate is doubled for the staker Electrons are being applied too... twice the "free" coin!!!
Where do those coins come from? Which part of the premine?
If that's all they're good for, Atoms are rather useless. Are you saying that electrons produced by Atoms cannot be used in the game itself?
