Topic: List of altcoins that can be obtained by gaming - page 4. (Read 4600 times)

Gcoin is something what was initially distributed by slots and as far as I know you can still get it by playing their games. Unfortunately it's worthless and traded only on some backyard exchanges (but I'm not sure if it's still traded).

Hmm, still shallow, nothing playable by the masses.


Huntercoin looks pretty decent so far, the others are shallow.

I was thinking about something like e-Republic but with crypto currencies.

Or

There are alot of private servers for popular MMO games, why hasnt anybody made one yet based on cryptocurrencies?

I know HYPER and Gridcoin, whereas Gridcoin is more a reward coin you get to provide computing power for the BOINC network for instance.

www.gamerholic.com  lets you play games for Bitcoin or Gamerholic coins, doesn't seem to be getting any traction though.

GEO is a coin anyone can get just by playing the geocashing game. All you need to do is visit a location on the surface of the earth  

Well, I know of two crypto that you could earn by playing games. Those are GoldPieces and Hyper. However, Hyper is increasing in price as well as it's getting more into games. There are several game servers that let you earn Hyper such as Minecraft, Counter Strike, Team Fortress and more. 

i didn't even think it was possible

there are a couple of games that pay you in bitcoin if you play them . but other than that i know about Hyper that has dedicated Counter Strike servers and pays you in Hyper.

never tried HYPER but from what i have understood you cant earn much from it and you have to spend it in game to buy for example guns and amos in game.

Not so much a currency but a site, I'd personally recommend Dragon Knight 2,

It offers 6 different coins being, HYPER, HTML5, GP, Flappycoin, Einsteinium, and Coin2.

Huntercoin is a "game"/coin that emits 80% of its coins through a process referred to as human-mining.

There are plenty of coins used in games. But in the cases I am thinking of they are used by the players, so you have to come up with some good reason why other players would give you coins.

Two apparently quite lucrative sources of in game income are the General Mining Corp and the General Retirement Corp, both of which regularly buy large quantities (lately typically about fifty million units in a shipment) of Deuterium; prices are shown here: http://galaxies.mygamesonline.org/deuterium.html

More data on the various assets they play with are linked from the main menu page here: http://galaxies.mygamesonline.org/digitalisassets.html

The game, or metagame, in which this all takes place has the top level of its wiki pages here: http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=galactic_milieu

The trick to getting players who have coins to give you some is usually to find some way that your characters or groups or nations or whatever scale you operate on in the game can be of use to them; or simply by doing trades between various factions, exchanging their various currencies for them for example, or organising procurement of things in a way that saves them bother such as by doing the small scale buying from small suppliers that is necessary to put together a large scale lot of something that players at a larger scale are interested in.

(For example a Freeciv-scale settler unit creates a city of population 10000 when it settles, but 10000 characters is a large number of characters at an individual-character scale, and not everyone interested in obtaining a freeciv-scale settler unit wants to deal with the details of grouping together 10000 MUD-characters, for example, to create such a unit from a smaller scale of play...)

So basically i`m not a gamer, but i have big respect for gamers, it's a 180 billion $ market, so I was wondering if there is any altcoin that can be obtained by gaming. It's a 180 billion $ market, so let's not be foolish, and let's make a crypto-currency/ or promote one, in order to get a share of that market cap.

So are there any altcoins that can be obtained simply by playing online games? If yes then post them below, and i`ll put them in the OP so that gamers can see the list and start getting them through playing games. I might even review them.

HOW ABOUT A BIG MMORPG/MMORTS GAME (Online: Like e-Republic but with cryptocurrencies?)

There are tons of private servers for any MMO game, why can't anyone create any MMO private server based on Bitcoin or other Crypto?
