Thank you everyone for helping me out you have been so helpful and kind. All ky wuestions have been answered and I now know where to look. I'm quite excited. The price of the cards put me off but I see there cheaper ones. Maybe I should buy them up ? The games going to get more and more popular on the Google store and maybe we can all help out tweeting about it ? Very exciting this

Thank you Dev for something so unique and just plan awesome. Even the cards are based and named after crypto related things or places. Very cool. Beautiful artwork too !

Certainly tweeting about it and showing the game to friends who are into this type of gameplay and trading cards can only help.

I will make tweets ^^ But the market seems bad not much activity.

Markets are always erratic especially when Bitcoin goes up in value like recently. Add quite a bit of manipulation by speculators and whales and that's what you get.
So long as Spells of Genesis gets more new users over time I'm confident things can only get better. The game has just launched, it has some great reviews in the App Stores so I hope the trend continues.
We have also seen quite a few new faces appearing on this thread which I consider positive.

Can't compare Bitcrystals performance to Ethereum or Dash or other projects as it's linked to a game and its success.
Nevertheless, the team is also working on Project Orb (Book of Orbs) in partnership with IndieSquare and as per the latest video update there are some more exciting features coming in the next weeks and months as well as a platform which includes a SDK for other game developers to use which according to the CEO should help drive demand for BCY too.

Can someone help please ?

I installed book of orbs and I see the cards some don't have stats why is this ? How will I know how good a card is if it has no stats in the game ? Also if I buy cards paying for ingame diamonds or gems or whatever they called do I own those cards ? If not then what is the point ?

https://sogassets.com/
Find it there to see the stats! As far as I understand, you own the cards once you quad fuse them and blockchain them, but that is not implemented yet(the blockchain part). Very curious to see how it will play out.

You also own anything you bought in the Books of Orbs, it shows the cards which already in the blockchain.

As soon as Book of Orbs is a companion app for the SoG, surely it has to show the cards as they are seen in the SoG, with all the stat etc.
Think we shall apply to the BoO dev

BCY cannot be used in-game yet I believe because of restrictions from Google and Apple stores where you can't sell assets outside their system.

I do not think it's the case, at least for the Google Play, as there are several games in it where the players can get rewards in crypto, eg Bella Chess

& btw we have Book of Orbs & IndieSquare where we can trade assets, in both stores

I don't think selling in-game assets for cryptocurrency is possible yet at least by using in-app purchases. Google and Apple take a 30% cut from all sales it's in their interest to prevent that.

If the game doesn't use in-app purchases they may get around it, like you said rewards for the game you mentioned. Same for BoO they don't use in-app purchases but the Counterparty DEX to match orders.

Agree that BoO is the best place to get yer cards with BCY

Apple is completely retarded when it comes to in-game anything at all. So I doubt any BCY in-game is going to happen with apple anytime soon.

hello what can the blockchain card in the store do?

And in the game we have 2 type of gems

What are those? can we topup bcy into the game?

Thanks

The cards in the store you see in the game are not blockchain cards they are free in-game cards.
Blockchain cards are sold directly by the team on Swapbots or by third parties in the Book of Orbs Android and iOS apps.
But, eventually you will be able to turn them into blockchain cards (by quad-fusing them) in the near future when the functionality is implemented in the game. It's in the roadmap

In-game tokens are 3: Gold, Crystals, and Gems:

- Gold: you earn it by playing and completing levels/tasks/achievements, allows you to purchase cards in the in-game store.
- Crystals: you earn them by crystallizing cards you get in-game and for completing certain tasks/achievements, allow you to level up cards and fuse them.
- Gems: you get them by purchasing them in the game store, allow you to refill your stamina when it's low.

BCY cannot be used in-game yet I believe because of restrictions from Google and Apple stores where you can't sell assets outside their system.
However they can be used outside the game as mentioned above.

Some of the blockchain-based cards are divisible. How does that work in terms of gameplay? If I own half a SatoshiCard I can't use it in the game right?

That's not true. You cant buy half a card

You can buy even 1 satoshi of some (old) card Shocked

So you should be very careful while selling it on the CounterParty exchange as a bad buyer can spoil it Angry

Recently I had my buy order partially fulfilled (it was Ripple card), so I did not get the whole card - well, it does not appear on the team tab or somewhere else in the game.

Yeah, That's what I mean. If you look on sogassets.com under Divisibility you can see there are 11 cards in the list that are divisible. I don't really like that aspect. I mean sure, the value can still increase so buyers can potentially still profit from the partial purchase if they can find a willing buyer who doesn't care about using the card in the game... but it seems to me you lose a lot of value with the loss of game functionality.

Anyway, I have a few divisible cards that I would be willing to sell but I don't want to offer them if buyers can cut them up in parts. It just seems like a waste. Is there a way for me to offer "full sale or nothing"?

If not, it would be a welcome feature.

The best way to sell divisible cards without worrying about people buying a fraction only is sell P2P (but there could be trust issues) or to use Tokenly Swapbots, I believe it costs $5 a month for the service.

https://swapbot.tokenly.com/

This way people buys from the bot and get the full card only.

Yes, it's definitely a much desirable feature, which could be implemented (I only guess Roll Eyes

eg inside the Book of Orbs.

Another (more simple & more complicated at the same time) way is for EDS to make a swap of old divisible cards/assets for non-divisible.

Slowness is due to Bitcoin transaction fees, if you pay a higher fee (and you can set it in Book of Orbs) transactions should be reasonably quick.
