Some interesting news... I had posted some price predictions, suggested selling GameCredits around .00033 BTC, figured it would fall below at least .00027. Already fell below .00026! Massive buy wall below, though, so I started buying them back at a profit, already.

At the same time, though, that Beyond the Void game just got their Nexium coins on Poloniex. Price has been falling--maybe due to people cashing out after the crowdsale--so I'm increasingly tempted to get some. It's hard to be a poor gamer.

Well bitcoin and gaming are the best combination , there is actually a couple of sites that reward you satoshis for competing in some of you favorite games like cs go , league of legends , dota 2 , hearthstone , they hod tournaments and whoever gets first place gets rewarded but the problem is the reward is too small compared to the amount of time you spend even if you get first place so i hope this block chain gaming would bring us much options compared to the others.

This is looking like a considerably more interesting organization, and I'm probably going to start following it a bit more as more things get implemented and added.

It has a nice looking website, which is nice, and I'm goi g back and forth through it and seeing what's stored here and there. So far it looks like there's a lot of room for growth, yet there's a lot in their so far.

I'm more interested in Bitland and Bitnation, but I'll look more into Blockchain gaming when I have time.

Keep it up!

Thanks, it's definitely a growing industry! We'll definitely be adding more stuff, soon.

Gaming on the blockchain is one of the best thing that will promote bitcoins. I believe that many will be interested in bitcoins and of course after gaming your assets can be converted to bitcoin which will bring about games not as entertainment but as a source of income. But my question is, how much bitcoin will we earn in the game. If its big then I am going to enjoy the games and enjoy my bitcoins.

Yeah, it's a great way to promote Bitcoin. Games like Spells of Genesis, Force of Will and SaruTobi have game assets directly on the Bitcoin blockchain, and you can earn Bitcoin with SaruTobi and Takara among many other emerging games. Others like GameCredits and Huntercoin promote blockchain technology in general and can still be converted to Bitcoin easily on exchanges or via other payment gateways.

Another one, Huntercoin, features "human mining," so it's a good way to earn coins. The whole MMO game is on the blockchain, though, so it cannot be moved to Bitcoin because Bitcoin lacks necessary features for fully-decentralized online gaming. It just got a fancy new client, and is about to hardfork to upgrade the gameplay--NewsBTC article coming soon

I've been doing a lot of working on building the blockchain gaming community, website and social media channels (links below). You can see from the above that it now has a logo. No potential business partners (web advertisers, maybe?) have arisen, so I'm treating it like a fun non-profit thing to promote blockchain based video games. I still need partner writers to help write about games, though, so I'll make a new thread in Project Development soon, anyways.

There's also been a lot of news in the blockchain gaming industry. Some highlights:

  • GameCredits has been integrated with Fragoria--an MMORPG with 8 million players--for in-game payments, as detailed in this article.
  • Force of Will, the trading card game, is going to use Project ORB (Spells of Genesis' platform) to place their cards on the Bitcoin blockchain. They held a crowdsale starting last month.
  • Spells of Genesis (the non-beta version) is finally coming out, but Canada and Switzerland get first dibs.
  • Some price predictions. Still waiting to find out if they're true or false, but there's definitely significant movement going on. Hard to sleep.

The blockchain gaming industry keeps exploding! Just check out BitCrystals on Poloniex in anticipation of the Spells of Genesis release this month:


Oh god, BCY is like a big wave in poloniex. but just trying for visiting your site with hoping i will find a good information from there. thanks before.

Others like HUC and GAME are doing great, as well, and I'm pretty happy I rolled with this concept. If you had bought any of the top 3 gaming cryptocoins a year ago, you would have at minimum doubled your money.

Now there are lots of articles about decentralized video games out there, and even other critical reviewers, so I decided to make a website for it. Check out www.blockchaingaming.com! I'm putting all my articles in the OP there, as well as other articles and videos. I'm gonna try to keep up with my own series of previews/reviews, as well.

Unfortunately, I haven't designed a logo for Blockchain Gaming, yet, so the website shows up on social media as plain text, for now. For that and other reasons, I'm curious if anybody wants to join me on this project. I have not yet decided if I want to go non or for-profit. Theoretically it could have ads like IGN, Game Informer, GameSpot, etc.

I'm gonna update the OP with a link to the website. I might have to make a new thread or move this one, soon, especially if the website becomes a commercial project.

I don't have any idea that blockchain has a game, well if that is true and already implementing I am gladly enjoy to play there too.
Just teach how? I can't imagine playing games while earnings bitcoins that's really awesome actually. Wink
All of that is going out from the purpose of blockchain is made and I don't think so blockchain will have games. the blockchain is having their purpose. and that's will never happen with blockchain.

Well, the Bitcoin blockchain doesn't have a game, yet. Although soon, Spells of Genesis will be out, which will have trading cards for playing on the Bitcoin blockchain via Counterparty. If you Google it, I think you'll find a demo, but you can't earn any bitcoins by playing.

GameCredits is developing quickly it looks like... last I heard, you could play TurboCharged, and they had a contest with a prize of GAME (their token). I dunno when the next one is. There's also GamerholicCoin, which has game tournaments for their GHC tokens. They can also be used to play the Grabbit agme.

Huntercoin is a great one you can earn HUC coins by playing. It uses human mining... new coins are dropped in the game world for players to fight over, and the whole MMO is on the Huntercoin blockchain with no central server. You can play right now on MithrilMan's client (http://www.mithrilman.com/Huntercoin) or wait a couple weeks for the upgraded version with blockchain pruning.

Haven't had time to update this series in a while--still developing the related website--but I noticed something: pretty much all the video game-related cryptocurrencies have skyrocketed. HUC has grown a lot, BCY dropped today but is up overall, and GAME has completely skyrocketed. HUC and GAME are literally dominating the charts on Poloniex right now, #1 and #2, respectively.

There are a lot of possible explanations for this. One of them is Pokemon Go, which is currently dominating the public consciousness as well as stock markets via Nintendo. Another is that the blockchain gaming industry has been doing well in general, and that successes in the various projects therein have been feeding off each other to build a general momentum. In general, I think people are realizing that video games will be one of the first sectors to be revolutionized by blockchain technology in practice, as their software-based nature precludes the necessity of real-world enforcement.

it's seems that wargames is moving to bitcoin, i hope that blizzard and other giant will follow

i believe that bitcoin and gaming is a very good duo, that can farther increase the awareness of bitcoin, maybe even among female
Heard about that--it's great news! Hopefully, bigger players im MMO gaming will follow suit. We need more direct use of the blockchain, though, not just accepting coins for payment.

That's a very interesting industry and could bump the game industry even further (and help to bump blockchain technology as well!)

soundinteresting,what genre is that game?i think they should have better promotions to make more popular this game,waiting for RPG game with bitcoin awards,it will be amazing and cool Cheesy
Moonga is a pure trading card game, played similar to others like Magic the Gathering. Or did you mean Huntercoin? It's a pretty simple MMO... newly-minted huntercoins appear in the game world, and you must fight over them strategically using your insta-kill ability.

Everything is effectively turn based because the game can only go as fast as the block time, since all data is on the blockchain. Hopefully in the future we get very fast block times! They are talking about doing an MMORPG in the future, but the only rewards could be newly-minted coins.

Director Andrew Wagner has been running a series of reviews of cryptocurrency, blockchain, and decentralization-based video games. It's called Gaming on the Blockchain; the first review is of Moonga, which is putting its online trading cards on the Bitcoin blockchain as smart property. The long-term goal is to provide comprehensive coverage of this nascent industry, which includes all of the following installments:

It's been a busy last few months, but I finally found the time to publish another installment of this series about crypto video games. This one is about Huntercoin, and is my favorite one, yet, for reasons made clear in the introduction:

Quote
"The Gaming on the Blockchain series has covered nearly every major development in its namesake niche, and many people have caught onto the opportunity cryptography represents for the gaming industry. The Munne Project appears to have been a cheap way to capitalize on this, while other titles like Spells of Genesis use it only partially for things like in-game smart property.

The Huntercoin team, however, had one dream: to build a game that is fully and completely decentralized. Like most dreams, it wasn’t easy to accomplish; they encountered ample drama along the way, and dealt with the financial constraints typical of underground projects. Now, however, all of that hard work is finally beginning to pay off.

Im guessing all of this will end up being processed throught off-chain services like the Lightning Network. Honestly last thing I want is the blockchain being flooded with millions of microtransactions per seconds from people gaming all over the world. The volume wouldn't be realistic to process in-blockchain in my opinion. The market for this is huge and the volume will be too much.
Possibly, but I'm not sure if the Lightning Network can handle smart property and contracts? Those are required for the games under development, such as the recently-reviewed Spells of Genesis.

Many games will have specific block time and block size requirements, and so will use their own blockchains. Huntercoin is a great example. What's probably going to happen is that they'll use Factom to hash their blockchains into the Bitcoin blockchain for security.
