Once we have solid DAU (daily active users) and our community is already enjoying the game for the actual gameplay (w/out any earning incentive) we will push our funding round and then TGE, with token utility in terms of in-game sinks and staking from Day 1.
Do you already have ready-made solutions for attracting users to your product? It's just that these are extremely difficult times, and all these business models are not very popular among players, based on various reports from major analytical companies. There is a global lull in these business models. Also, games in this industry have a balance sheet problem. The number of players who come to the project for earnings greatly exceeds the number of players who bring money to the project.
Yes, we do, we are relying on industry-proven concepts for retaining and engaging new users in a traditional gaming environment. I 100% agree with the balance sheet problem, a lot of projects position themselves as "play-to-earn", which in the long run is not a sustainable way to attract new users.
Using this approach, the majority of your userbase will indeed come for the earning incentive and only a few will bring fresh money in.
As I mentioned earlier, we are focused on making a fun and enjoyable gameplay, which will then tie to the blockchain and allow for the player-driven economy to take place.
I don't know, now is not the best time to launch Play-to-Earn projects, simply because the hype for these projects has long ended, and the industry is going through liquidity crisis and this liquidity, first of all, leaves exactly such tokens (play-to-earn, NFT, Meraverse, etc.). There is uncertainty in the market right now and so it is not known how long the crypto-winter will last, so investing in such now is a huge risk.
I can agree with your point to some extent. Right now the marketing is still quite volatile and we are going to go even lower in terms of total market cap. What we are trying to do is to create the game and polish the game economy as much as possible before releasing the token.
This way we are approaching the market as a ready game, which will then link the game economy to the blockchain. By building a player base before releasing any kind of token the stage of the project and the amount of hype does not affect the financial performance of the native token as it is still not publicly tradeable.
Once we have solid DAU (daily active users) and our community is already enjoying the game for the actual gameplay (w/out any earning incentive) we will push our funding round and then TGE, with token utility in terms of in-game sinks and staking from Day 1.
Hello everyone,
A quick update on the project:
We have released a closed alpha on the 15th of June, which was meant to showcase the game mechanics and give the players a feel about the game.
Stage 1: Dungeon(PvE), Skills & Character equipment
In this stage, players will be able to compete in an unlimited dungeon, test out different skills and change their equipment.
Duration: 1 week (15th to 22nd of June)
Stage 2: Player-versus-player (PvP), improved battle mechanics, additional skills, improved UI/animations
Duration: 2 to 4 weeks
The reveal of PvP will be huge and we are excited about it. Tell us which builds should be nerfed or which class you enjoyed playing the most, we will implement these changes for the Beta release.
Stage 3: Polished PvP and PvE, crafting, character upgrades, AND a sneak peek on the Clan Lands!
This stage will represent the go-to-version, which is designed to simulate the actual game economy. Players will be earning testSRV which will be convertible to actual SRV. Rate of conversion TBA.
We had over 70 people for Stage 1 of the closed alpha testing and we expect these numbers to increase with the release of the PvP (1 on 1) mode.
Clan lands & Global Map:
We have started working on the Global Map visualization and we aim to implement it within the next two development milestones. The Global Map will feature a dynamic environment with resource farming and hostile encounters along the way.
Until next time

Hello Bitcointalkers,
In this thread, I will post all the relevant information about the game which we're building - Path of Survival.
We believe that traditional gamers are left out of the blockchain gaming space due to the highly demanding entry (crypto knowledge, wallet, crypto), which eventually turns down the everyday player, who is not familiar with blockchain.
The game is going to be free-to-play, with off-chain game mechanics and a chain-agnostic approach.
We are doing the "gameplay first" approach, which will allow us to build the necessary player base from Day 1 and simulate the game economy before releasing it to the public.
The game will feature a traditional RPG progression in the form of PVP and PVE content and once the player base increases, we will release the RTS mode, which will be a season-based mode in which players will team and compete for resources.
Our most unique approach is the team-to-earn mechanics in the form of clan lands, in which the owners will be able to onboard other members, decide on the governing model and receive passive income from the fees generated by clan members on the in-game marketplace.
Things such as team members, tokenomics model and whitepaper can be found on our website: https://pathofsurvival.io/
Here I will mainly post insights on how the project is developing and what are our imminent goals.
This being said, I would be happy to hear your feedback and general feel about Path of Survival.

This was a tough one for me I admit, do you plan to release further challenges anytime soon?
Interesting point by @justdimin , I share a similar view on the topic, basically what this tells us is that the blockchain gaming ecosystem is not yet easily embraced by the everyday person who is not into crypto. Conventional marketing strategies do not work for blockchain gaming and can sometimes even have a negative effect (e.g. facebook ads ) on the project.
The everyday crypto guy =/= everyday consumer so the approach to exposure is by KOLs, streams, AMAs and genuine overall content. What F1 failed to do was to figure out a decent approach to convert traditional fans into the crypto ecosystem. Most projects seem to miss that and even good gameplay is not enough when the person has to commit to creating a wallet before he can play.
Overall, I do believe that play-to-earn mechanics, decentralized economy models and asset ownership have a place in blockchain gaming. This has yet to be introduced to the traditional gamers and lead to adoption.

Re: Which trading indicators/traders would you recommend?
Thank you all for the replies, I didn't expect that many people to join in 
I've been using fibonacci combined with BB and EMA.
In 2019-2020 I used a lot filbfilb's predator indicator and it was performing quite well at the time.
I've been trying to build an automated trading bot with a friend of mine and I am exploring different TA approaches which we can test out.

Hello Bitcointalkers,
The subject of the thread is pretty self-explanatory, I am wondering which tools would you recommend for spot trading in particular.

Re: Be the first newbie to answer correct and get 1 merit
Okay the only one I could think of that had a dataset available was the Million Song Dataset, and I tried encoding all of the song title names to SHA-1 via some sqlite3 queries and python, and output that out to a csv file. But I couldn't find the hash that I had found in the previous step. My guess is that the database is some different one altogether, I guess I'll give it a few more tries later.
Do not complicate the trivial !
Search engines are your friend
P.S. probably did not find it due to uppercase letters or stuff like that. wrote the name of the song by hand and all lowercase
Ah its all lowercase. Then I would say the song is "Who Let The Dogs Out" by "Baha Men"
Method: Well I had already got the SHA-1 hash from the previous posts. Then I used the track_metadata from FMA Data for music analysis.
Then I wrote a short python code to get the SHA-1 hash name for each of the files and appended that with the track names. I wrote a pythonic script (instead of trying to find an online music search db) just because I wanted to check out some of its functions and also get familiar with some Capture The Flag contest method - this challenge was quite like some preliminary CTF contest
Here is the code:
Code:
import csv
import hashlib
import os.path
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
db_path = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "songs.db")
file = open("C:\\hashes_tracks.csv", "w", encoding="utf-8")
with open("C:\\tracks.csv", "r", encoding="utf-8") as dataset:
reader = csv.DictReader(dataset)
for row in reader:
name = row["title"].lower().strip()
result = hashlib.sha1(name.encode())
file.write(result.hexdigest() + name + '\n')
import hashlib
import os.path
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
db_path = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "songs.db")
file = open("C:\\hashes_tracks.csv", "w", encoding="utf-8")
with open("C:\\tracks.csv", "r", encoding="utf-8") as dataset:
reader = csv.DictReader(dataset)
for row in reader:
name = row["title"].lower().strip()
result = hashlib.sha1(name.encode())
file.write(result.hexdigest() + name + '\n')
And then a simple search for the hash was enough to get the song name.
Proof that the hash matches

Oh wow, good job there!

Hey everyone, my friend's account has been proxy banned upon creation. His username is joro-metaversa and if his IP was used for abuse in the past, he had nothing to do with it. Thanks in advance for looking into it.
Sorry, you're not an established member, so you don't qualify to vouch for someone:2. Get someone to vouch for you
If an established member knows you personally, they can post your username in this topic for whitelisting. I won't accept vouches from for instance a bounty hunter with 1000 Activity and 0 earned Merit.
Your username isn't helping either: you wouldn't join a Lamborghini forum with username LamborghiniSucks, right?If an established member knows you personally, they can post your username in this topic for whitelisting. I won't accept vouches from for instance a bounty hunter with 1000 Activity and 0 earned Merit.
Assuming he has not already made a new account to get around the IP ban, I would take the risk on joro-metaversa and be willing to whitelist him.
Hey PrimeNumber7, thank you for your input! Actually, joro-metaversa was whitelisted by Rizzrack, as I participated in his challenge here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5389272.msg59522267#msg59522267
Re: CRYPTOFIGHTS.IO - WIN REAL MONEY IN OUR CASH TOURNAMENTS!
The guys non-answer to your question was probably enough to realize the game is P2W, just to make it explicit, this is from the game website:
Quote
LOOT
Battle monsters in dungeons and other players to get loot.
CRAFT
Collect items and components when you play to craft into more powerful items. Sell or melt them on our NFT marketplace.
EARN
Play and earn through gameplay. Better players earn better rewards. Partly community-owned and influenced by the players.
The gear you get, either by playing or paying for, will give an advantage when competing against other players. The rewards for beating other players are the real world cash fees each side puts up in order to fight each other (minus the % cut the game devs take out of the fees).Battle monsters in dungeons and other players to get loot.
CRAFT

EARN

Yup,,, so no surprise, this is 100% the same as all P2E games which,,, as you point out is P2W.
Play to earn but pay to win,,, someone should be writing an article about this right now if not already done before. There is no game here, just a mindless ponzi of "mining" as pointed out above.
What a shame it is for blockchain gaming, I have to say!
It is a shame indeed, however, I notice that the market needed this oversaturation so that most of these click-to-earn-to-pump-then-dump games, because now these are dying out and the new era of blockchain gaming is coming with solid projects with actual development teams and technical roadmaps.
The in-game utility of NFTs will become more and more common with more than just hype around them.
I am part of an upcoming blockchain game so I might be biased, however this rapid change has been observed since October/November 2021.

Re: How weird is it to borrow money and invest into Bitcoin?
Borrowing money from the bank to invest in crypto is essentially betting on which asset would appreciate more, a currency which suffers from inflation and has unlimited supply or an asset with storing value + utility. So yes, it would be weird not to do it.
Re: CRYPTOFIGHTS.IO - WIN REAL MONEY IN OUR CASH TOURNAMENTS!
Is money required to be good at this game? As in, do you have to pay for stuff like upgrades or currency to be able to get the best characters/items? Because when you talk about $6000 tournaments where you have $1 entry fee, it sounds good,,, but if I know I must compete with players who got 10x better equipment because they bought it, then it become pointless.
P2E games have a bad habit of doing this. Buy more crypto for more chances to get better and rarer items or breeds.

You do not need to make a deposit or buy anything in order to play the game, there is no minimum amount required to get started. Beyond a computer or Android Device, the next thing you'll need is a crypto wallet for withdrawal. Any of the popular ones such as Metamask, Binance, xxx, yyy or zzz will do since we offer the option to convert the most popular tokens such as BNB, ETH, DOGE, USDC, USDT, into BSV and the other way around.
https://help.fyxgaming.com/en/articles/5434314-cryptofights-faq-helpThank you,,, I saw that, and no good p2e game I guess requires deposit to play but my question was: do you need money/crypto to be good at this game?
For example, the $6000 tournament. If I deposit nothing, would I stand the same chance of winning as someone who perhaps bought $5000 worth of items or skills or whatever?
Honestly asking, as I really am looking
Hey, I saw that you are actively looking for skill-based crypto games, let me know if you have found anything and what are your requirements when scouting.
Re: I started a blog interviewing crypto people. I called it Crypto Fireside.
Hey buddy, you can sign me up for an interview. I've been in the space since 2016, went from trading to working for one of the biggest exchanges and now I am full-time on my own blockchain game development.

но обществения отзвук е че, това е бъдещето на гейминг индустрията като цяло.
Аз не вярвам,че Play-to Earn е бъдещето на гейминга,по-скоро VR технологията е бъдещето.
Play-to-earn игрите малко ми приличат на понци схема.Цялата система се поддържа от парите на новите играчи и трябва постоянен приток на нови играчи,за да се поддържат нарастващи цени на токени и NFT–та.
Освен това,трябва да се внимава доколко такива игри биха били хазартни и доколко са геѝминг.
Хазартната индустрия е по–натоварена с регулации и контрол.
Не съм експерт по тази тема,просто споделям мнение.
Разбирам те, имаш право, масовката от игри особено тези излезли Q3-Q4 миналата година са си ponzi от всякъде.
Това което се опитваме ние да направим е да запазим gaming mechanics as an actual game и да дадем свободата на player driven decentralized economy, смятам че това трябва да е целта при разработката, за да се вземат плюсовете и от гейминга и от блокчейн моделите.
