So you created your own POW blockchain only to have a cryptocurrency gamers can pay with and the magic sauce is the API. Is that a good summary?
If a game with 10 million users are using your API as a means of payment, shouldn't that result in extremely high tx volume on your blockchain? Is there a blockexplorer that shows that volume?
Whether due to marketing hype or not wanting to insult their partner, GameCredits is unlikely to point the following out. However:
Fragoria doesn't have remotely close to millions of players in any meaningful sense. It might have had millions of accounts once briefly trying it out but not sustained, not unless mere bots or something.
You can get a better idea of the actual active playerbase by looking at the amount of posting on their forum:
http://forum.fragoria.com/?langid=1For example, if one has ever been to the Blizzard WoW forums, there is no comparison, by literally orders of magnitude. The latter is what a game with millions of active players really means.
With that said, fortunately GameCredits doesn't depend on Fragoria, not in the long term. As long as GameCredits keeps up their continuous development, eventually they should reach other games summing up to millions of active users for real. (That will probably never include WoW, from what I know of developer concerns about pay-to-win and real-money-trading there, but GameCredits will reach more and more other games). And when they do, they might obtain more true usage than any altcoin has presently other than Bitcoin itself.
I am a holder of GameCredits myself. Despite a little annoyance at a somewhat premature marketing spin, it is a milder fault than those of most other altcoins, since few others have such a clear market niche or as solid continuing development.
This is all true, except the preposition that you can correlate players to forum participants. But no one every said Fragoria was WOW, come on now.
If anyone is on here and thinks we are going after AAA games or the largest games on the planet, then that's folly. Those companies will only act if/when we see massive success. If our payment processing gateway is doing $100s of millions in revenue in 5 years, then yes, they will listen.
Meanwhile, we are signing up hundreds of mainstream gaming companies to our mobile platform. We are going about quantity. There is no reason to go after a few big companies with an unproven product when there are literally thousands of game developers doing well but being squeezed by the big boys and looking for a way to improve their bottomline revenue and profits.
By now - and this is to the person you were responding to - if someone comes on this thread and makes a snide remark about our products or API then obviously they don't care enough to do some basic research. There is a team of 100s of people working their butts off to be as transparent as possible while also working to create real market solutions.
