Interesting turn of events with the blockchain dynamics. Im sure the upcoming show will be a great one to tune in to. I also like the idea of partnering with c2 and more importantly hypercoin.
Can you tell us if this is in the works yet?

We've discussed the logistics with our team and we've reached out to KingArbin. At this point it boils down to hammering out details and making an agreement. Can't really say much past that though until everything's set in stone. We're definitely interested our only caveat is we don't want it integrated as a alternate in-game currency as it would be confusing to our players. Having the ability to deposit c2/hypercoin into your jewels wallet (automating the exchange process) is more the route we're thinking.

Slightly off topic but here's a very brief video covering the horse racing system that will be available in the Heroes server.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E42aGK5xeIs


I'm posting this here because it's showing not only existing content the game will have for players but also is a significant use case for jewels. We've done similar cosmetic systems in the past for weapons and armor and they have proven very popular (selling for between 5-25 USD/each on average).

We already have dozens of usable mount skins and we have approximately 50 more waiting to be added over time. We'll be doing bi-weekly content releases after the launch of the new server so that the game remains fresh and enjoyable for the players and also to ensure that the jewels shop remains active and useful. Our jewels shop will allow for one click USD>Jewels purchases as well as allowing you to load in jewels from any exchange you wish. This constant demand for jewels from players will help to maintain healthy value for the currency through the exchanges directly and through re-purchasing we will need to do to restore the paypal fund.


Hopefully people here enjoy the quick overview. I'm super excited to start doing some of these horse races. They provide a nice break from the PVP action and yet are still competitive and rewarding. Because the mounts you buy with the horse racing points are temporary (expire after 7 days) it nicely encourages people to spend the money to get the permanent version Smiley


That looks so fun and the bunny your were riding is badass. You seriously have me craving some free time to start playing but life is so busy I just cant find the time right now. Hopefully this weekend i'll be able to plunker down and get some good old school gaming going on.

So do you have any desires to include other coins in your MMORPG to grow your community quicker? Coin2 has a 2 year old community that has been looking for a game to use the coin with for awhile. I myself have been working on a first person shooter called Chain of Conflict for almost the same amount of time. If interested check out the links below for the github and thread link.

https://github.com/UdjinM6/Coin2.1

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9210669

I can also get HYPER in on this, we are partners with them as well.

Hello, partnering with existing communities such as Hyper and C2 is of interest to us but before we can agree to anything we would need to further discuss the nature of our partnership. We'll be contacting your via PM to which we can better discuss the involvement of your community.

After reading into this, I'm not interested so much in the coin as I am the project. Would you be willing to take on an equity-based investment for the business (and therefore the games)?

Thanks for your interest in our project. We'll contacting you shortly via PM.

Introducing more coins into our game itself would be very confusing to players. In regards to the provably fair gambling apps, that's something that could be done (extend our app to include other coins) although I'm of the opinion that it would be unwise of us to do right from the start. If the gambling apps/site gain in popularity and there is demand for other coins it would be something to re-consider at that time.

I'll bring it up to other members of the team and see what they think. Thanks for your interest either way.


No problem, if you decide you would like to use Coin2 in your games, Chain of Conflict, our fps will be open to jewels once finished.

Cant wait to hear the show!  Shocked
Chris you should have the talk show people try the game before going on so at least they have some knowledge about the game before hand.

Hi!

I wanted to say thanks for posting in the Blockchain Dynamics thread.  I sent a PM to the primary Jewels account and am looking forward to the prospect of learning more about Jewels, and sharing that information with our listeners, from people that really know about it.  We do not claim to always get it right from our look at a bitcointalk post and so we really appreciate it when a project is organized enough to consider having a discussion with us.  Hope to hear more soon Smiley

Thanks so much for your interest in our project. I'll be talking it over with the other members of the project tonight to hash out the fine details but it's safe to say we'll be happy to do some form of interview with Blockchain Dynamics.


After reading into this, I'm not interested so much in the coin as I am the project. Would you be willing to take on an equity-based investment for the business (and therefore the games)?

I can't really comment on that at the moment. Just letting you know though that we're not ignoring you and will get back to you.

yup now they will know exactly what jewels is and isnt, i have to imagine it is hard to follow so many crypto when the devs are not willing to explain in depth their project like pro4never is. i will be listening in to this aswel.

For sure! We want to do everything we can to avoid blending in to the noise of other projects and it's easy to understand why some people may be confused about the project. Clarifying things through interviews, updates to the threads, press releases and more will be very important to us. The more we can inform and educate people about what our project is about, the better Smiley

What are you suggesting KA? Like a partnership where pro 4 never accepts coins from the other games or.... Im not following on your full idea. Care to spell it out for me and the others who may still be confused.

Unpaid signature.
Have to say one of the only legit projects going currently. Awesome that it will be implemented in future games and current games. Awesome project man. Love it.


And that is what has me so excited for this project. It is obviously the most legit project that has hit the forum for quite some time.

In front of us we have got a game with a successful history, a genuine guy that does not hide his true identity, an already built community and now one that is expanding into crypto. A dev that knows what he is doing in the gaming world.

Luckily there is a nice amount of time involved and it hasn't been rushed so people can join the community and do their due diligence for themselves and others who are to lazy.

This looks very interesting, I am going to read over do some checks and get the downloaded while having my dinner tonight. So far I must say I like what I see.

If you run into any issues or just have questions concerning the game, the live support button on our website and in game goes directly to the phones of myself and our other staff members. Hit us up if you have questions Smiley

Thank you so much for your caring attitude to future gamers and investors alike. It shows true professionalism and excellent community care, that will take you a long way alone, then add to the fact you have a community already. This is going to be very big, I found another winner here.

I just saw that Jewels got talked about in the blockchain dynamics radio show.
I dont think they understand the coin or project though.
Here, have a listen.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.15620724

Just to add on to what we've already posted with the Jewels account..

A big difference between us and other gaming coins is our numerous use cases and tight timeline.

ICO ends with immediate built in demand from apex/triumph
Heroes launches within next month with huge build in demand and will be designed around the use of jewels.
Provably fair gambling integrated into apex, triumph and heroes within 2-3 months.
Provably fair gambling games integrated into other games, other servers and as their own standalone website and mobile apps within 3 months.


The main difference between us and other gaming coins is that we have a ready to use product with significant demand. This built in demand for the jewels is great but it is not where we will stop and is NOT what the funds are being raised for. The funds are being raised so that we can push the coin further with the custom gambling apps and future development and integration in other games.

I'm hoping our request goes over well with blockchain dynamics and other crypto news because we'd love to do some interviews and make sure that we're representing ourselves properly. I definitely don't want this project to be lost in comparisons to other projects which only share certain surface traits.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.15620724

I've had a chance to listen to Blockchain Dynamics and we'd like to offer an answer as why we shouldn't be written off as just another gaming coin.

Open Source Based Games
Some gaming coins are intended to be driven by open-source based games. An example of this may be running a custom Counter Strike: Global Operative ("CS:GO") server that rewards a player in a cryptocurrency. The problem with this model is that typically the space shared here overlaps with other servers and communities that are typically far more well established. This prevents the coin from truely being adopted by the immediate audience of these games unless they offer something new or innovative other than just rewarding players for playing these games.

Faucet Based Gaming
Other coins may offer a faucet based service. Unlike the open source approach this means you can play on a regular game server and be rewarded for your playing. Typically, what this means (using CS:GO as an example again) is that a player can play a competitive mode on the "official" game and receive reward for attaching their account to the coins system. The inherent problem with this is it is not profitable for gamers and the only useful aspect of this model is "free" advertisement. Typically, a player will receive a neglible amount of financial compensation for their hours spent on the game (far less than working a minimum wage job in the United States).

While some indiivduals in Bitcointalk may feel it's "super cool and awesome" to be paid a cryptocurrency for simply playing their favorite game, this model cannot be only driving factor for adoption of a coin because gamers (typically ranging from teens to young adults) will see it for what it is - an insignificant amount of money and ignore it.

Raise funds, develop the game after
This is an understandable approach. Game development isn't cheap, so it's only natural that you need a large fund to hire people for certain jobs; After all that is why we're raising money (primarily for Project Rebirth). The unfortunate side to this is that game development while also being expensive is slow. Essentially, that means depending on the complexity of the game investors are stuck with a fairly stagnant investment until the game they invested into comes to fruition as until this point is reached there is a lack of identifiable use-cases for the coin. Stagnation can easily be anywhere around an entire year before the game even is in some form of open-beta where investors can actually try it out let alone actually start receiving a return of interest or utilize their coin investment.

Us
Given the points above, we are most closest to the last point. The difference is, we are not launching empty handed. There will be identifable use cases for Jewels immediately following the conclusion of our sale. The inherent struggle any game will face is developing an active player base, fortunately we've also already tackled this problem with our existing infrastructure.

We want to stress Jewels is not only for Apex and Heroes! We will be releasing mini-games that are gambling related as well as other small games that can stand alone independantly and be played through your browser or mobile (Android / iOS) devices.

We'll be contacting them directly and seeing if we can be on their show as we'd love to talk to them more about our project.

I don't see exchange mentioned anywhere in the roadmap. I do hope it is your intentions to list them on exchanges. Do you have any in mind? Have you contacted any? Most exchanges won't list just any coin that is proposed to them. You can probably get it listed on Yobit but that market is primarily for trading shitcoins.

Perhaps the escrow is a false sense of security, but more people are going to be more comfortable with sending money to a reputable member of this forum over some streamer without much activity within the community. More money invested = more profits for investors.

Use cases are definitely a positive, and the major reason why I like to invest in videogame cryptos. They don't set out to change the world but they actually server a purpose, regardless of how niche it is.

The road map was intended to mainly highlight benchmarks in terms of (programming based) development. I'll look to have the road map broadened with other intentions other than those just specifically related to programming. Thanks Smiley.

As for which exchanges we'll be listed on, we will probably get a listing on Yobit due to its ease however it is also in our intentions to get a listing on Bittrex as from our research they are a more trusted and well established exchange. We intend to be entirely transparent with them and don't mind the 3 BTC fee. We see no problem with their CFC compliance standards which requests having a proof of developer done and disclosing the full name and location of a member of the coin development team. After a listing on Bittrex, we will eventually seek a listing on Poloniex as we become more established. As Jewels is an integral aspect of our project we want people to have accessibility to Jewels in as many places and ways as possible.

Given our transparency as it stands we are still open to feedback about using an escrow as we have stated if enough people feel strongly about this we will seek to get one however as no sufficient reasoning has been provided we currently see no reason to do so. We feel research is an important tool investors should using, simply having an escrow and seeing "Hero Member" or "Legendary Member" should not be reason enough people wildly throw their bitcoin at the project. We highly recommend investors take the time to research Pro4Never and take a look at some of the open-source projects he's been involved in in the past and other projects he's worked in prior to Jewels.

I want to invest in this project, I really do. But it's clear this is more geared towards people buying this coin to actually use it, rather than just buy and sell. No escrow, no reputable members, no plans on listing it in an exchange. I buy virtually every video game crypto out there and I'd love to buy this one too, but I just can't at this point in time.

The coin will have use cases that address people who have no interest in playing MMOs such as our gambling based platform that will be available as a standalone in the web browser in the near future. I don't quite understand what you mean by no plans on listing it on an exchange since we mention in almost every section that people will be able to buy Jewels off of exchanges. We'll be contacting exchanges nearing the end of the sale.

Based on no escrow I assume you are for using an escrow. Our reputation is on the line as we've been around for over a year and Pro4never is a well known individual in other communities as well as being very open about his real life identity for this project. Can you explain what you feel would be the benefits of using an escrow because from my research I can cite examples of where using an escrow serves absolutely no purpose other than giving people a false sense of security.

Thanks for your feed back and looking forward to your reply!
