Well, guys, do you know that Playkey received 2.8 million from the Russian Fund? I think it's great that the project has support throughout the world, it will clearly be successful.
this is probably the second gamecredits..very promissing deal

Project looks interesting. But I have some questions to the team regarding business aspects as I can't judge their ICO technology-wise.

You recently got investments from a Russian government-backed fund IIDF (http://theheureka.com/russian-government-launches-200-million-seed-fund). Did you raise this Round in order to finance your Playkey ICO?

If Yes: As an investor I see risks in Russian government backed ICO. At least this combination looks strange especially in spotlight of anti-Russian trend in mass media.
If No: If you finance your ICO with Russian government money without crisp arrangement of ICO plans in shareholders agreement, could we potentially expect any lawsuits raised by IIDF?

Could you please make it clear for me.


The answer is No. IIDF invested in Playkey as a developer of technology and service provider. They see potential of decentralization of the current solution and agreed on running an ICO. Current company will be a part of one of the largest gaming project.



these are questions I would like to see more of fellow forum members. Thnx for this. Also thanks for the answer. In my opinion people overrate the tech side (which most of us dont fully understand), the buseniss side is more important for me.

Nvidia offers a hosted PC game platform that offers decent performance. I imagine if you can nail down location based prioritization this could be a neat way to rent out your idle hardware to share with your neighbors.

Playkey Cloud game technology allows you to play games immediately without having to download and install.
This is a good way to reduce the consumption of notebook hard disk space, landing can play.
Do not know whether the game can keep smooth play Roll Eyes

I think there is a company called Utomik that attempts to do something similar to that.

http://www.wired.co.uk/article/utomik-game-streaming

Utomik instead downloads a bite-size chunk of the actual game to your computer, via its client, and lets you start playing. The rest of the game is then streamed in further chunks as needed. It promises "the real game, unchanged and 100 percent original quality". As the game is on your computer rather than in the cloud, it should all be lag-free, a problem that plagued earlier players in the game streaming sector. Of course that does mean you have to have a computer decent enough to run it.

There are some companies that use similar technology. But they have different business models, early stage or closed. Playkey is #1 cloud gaming project with 2,500,000 customers

Nice project, I will follow this.

I am currently every time disappointed to not be able to play the newest or newer games, and if I can, just in horrible resolution without good textures etc. As I am not into daily gaming currently because of lack of time, I also don't want to buy myself a new pc just for this. So maybe Playkey could be the missing link for this problem Cheesy

Before I dig deeper into the project, can you tell me what internet connection is needed to be able to play games from your cloud service?


Starting from 5mbs, recommended 15mbs

Wow, thats not much in the current time. With 15mbs I would be able to play smothly with high frame rates in a high resolution, or would it be needed to go even higher for high end graphics?

30+ for stable 1080p 60 FPS. There will be 4K after the ICO, but it would require 100mbs+ connection. The team will work to decrease that requirement and followed with the development of high-speed broadband connections 4K will be available for many users.

If you dont have internet trough optic cables, 15mbs is quite a lot for rural areas in come countries but with optics you dont have to worry about the speed.
Did anyone try to play a game on the platform?

What liquidity for tokens here? I mean, you create gaming platform, but why users must have tokens here?

The only opportunity to pay for the cloud gaming service, pay for games, and pay for 3rd party gaming services in Playkey Ecosystem will be using PKT. You can buy it on Playkey web site with your credit card or on any other exchanges.

PKT is internal currency that already has demand for 2,500,000 gamers in Playkey and growing each month.

How will mining work as this is an ERC20 token if I'm not mistaken?

PKT is ERC20 token, you are right. Mining in Playkey is a little bit different: instead of calculating hash, miner shares his powerful computers, servers with gamers and receive PKT as a payment.


don't you think Ethereum smart contracts is too slow for a game mechanics ?

Playkey will temporary use offchain solution to speed up transactions inside the blockchain. PKT is only for payment between users and service providers, and doesn't affect gaming experience at all.

Playkey is working with recognizable gaming corporations such as Ubisoft, Bethesda, Capcom, Sega, Codemasters and Plug In Digital to smooth out the transition process of running game sessions on their services, as well as continuing support for multiplayer elements and cloud saves.

I seen 3 people on the 1-st page. One of them - CEO on Ubisoft.
But I can not understand, who is this? They advisors may be?  Huh

There are advisors from gaming companies - Epic Games, Wargaming, etc.
CEO of Ubisoft believes in cloud gaming solutions and Playkey works with Ubisoft as well.

is it legal to use other game avatar like that (assasins creed character) .. ?

I read that Playkey have partnerships with Ubisoft, Bethesda, Capcom, Sega, Codemasters and Plug In Digital.

Assassin's Creed is developed and published by Ubisoft.

https://techcrunch.com/2017/07/21/playkey-raises-2-8m-to-fund-its-us-expansion/

That's pretty awesome they already have big partnerships! It already puts Playkey ahead of other gaming ICOs.

After reading the whitepaper and visiting the site , I'm still not clear on the relationship between the miner and the gamer. so the miner provides the processing power in the system right? then who hosts the game files? will it be your servers? if so why then is the mining power necessary?

Other than that this looks good.


Miner will host games and run a game on his machine.
There will be only matching servers from Foundation to find best connections between a user and a miner.

Has anyone tried to play game using Playkey cloud service? It depends on the location or is there no difference? Maybe there are still some details? Thanks for the answers.

Hi, I played Playkey cloud gaming at playkey.net. It works amazing, but of course it depends on your location. Right now Playkey works in Europe, CIS and East Coast US. With decentralized infrastructure there will be servers in every big city around the world.
