Hi there, first of all I can see some effort has been done for the design of website and whitepaper, great job there!
At Section 1.1, a small typo can be spotted: "PlayerUnknown’s Battledgrounds", should be "PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds"
Section 4.2, "2018 December ICO", I suppose it is 2017 December or 2018 January.
From the information I have gathered from the website, there is no details information regarding the team, or the company backing Bountie. All I know is that the team is based in Singapore. But I can still find Linkedin profiles of the team's members from simple search on the internet, perhaps you can put the Linkedin profiles on the website as well.
I would like to know the technical details of the project instead of the fancy whitepaper. As far as I know, most of the features provided by Bountie platform are centralised, for example most of the revenue streams, matchmaking, tournament, quest rewards system, platform's search function and player's profile. Since many are still controlled by Bountie Pte Ltd, will the company open all of the sources?
I think what Bountie platform provides is more like an all-in-one platform for gamers to show themself. But it might simply become another place where gamers are hard to get exposure, just like most of the current existing platforms. Do you think 80% of Bountie users are able get a reasonable stable revenue from Bountie (provided they are playing/streaming seriously)? Is there any feature that makes Bountie platform different from the others (excluding the currency)? I know Bountie aims to decentralised the revenue sharing method, but it is still easy to create a website, allowing registering of users, embed Youtube/Twitch streams, fetching match's data, organize tournament and enable PayPal transaction.
Hello Hexcolyte, really appreciate you taking the time to look through our whitepaper and website in such detail.
We are currently in the works to upload our version 1.4 of our whitepaper with some of the details you mentioned and edit the typos that you have pointed out. We are also adding our youtube channel where you can see interviews & vlog coming up. Linkedin profiles will also be added to both whitepaper and website.
We are also having a vlog session with Darren our CTO to touch more on the technical details of our project. A technical whitepaper is also in the works. We'll update it into the site and the other channels when it's ready!
Just to clarify by "most of the features provided by Bountie platform are centralised" do you mean that we lack API to allow other platforms or users to tap into our network, features & functionalities? If yes, here's our take on this:
Most of the larger platforms out there have a certain level of API available for other platforms to tap on, Bountie have plan to do that as well. However as a startup, we have limited time and resources to execute everything on our "wishlist", which is why we our first step is to finalize and create a platform that gamers will love using. Only after that would we be able to let others tap into our platform.
That's a tough challenge that we trying to solve, how do we structure our platform mechanize so that the majority of the gamers are able to make a living while playing games that they love. Based on our existing model, we would have multiple source of revenue streams(3 types tournaments, seasonal leaderboards, content producers, Bountie gaming team, daily quests, referral program, etc) that gamers can employ to allow more of them to make money from gaming. By increase the pie overall, more gamers would be naturally rewarded. We also listen closely to our gaming community to understand further what's their frustration and how we can improve the gaming as a whole. That's the whole purpose of our existence. Not to be a tech giant that is just looking to improve shareholder value.
You seem like someone who's very knowledgeable and cares deeply about gaming. We would love to hear from you on and off as we launch more updates in near future. Do keep in touch with me via email(
