We have a sort of "virtual simulation" setup on taprivals.com.  Signup and play for free.  Everything you win right now is virtual, so it lacks many of the obvious benefits of crypto, but it will give you an idea.

Great question.  The Loot protocol and how it is generated and awarded to players is based entirely on their skill in relation to other players.  There is no randomness or chance involved at all.  If you get a better score, you win more Loot.

Skill is tracked per activity in each game.  So your performance in game X and activity Y is always compared to other "XY" players.  Players in game A and activity B are tracked separately against one another as "AB" players.

This works in any game, because its a system of measuring players against each other, regardless of game.  We are testing this right now on taprivals.com with virtual points etc.  Players love it, and they tend to play the games they are best at.

Signal Zero is the name of the company, but the video that shows all of the loss mitigation and data capabilities is typically referred to as "The Signal Zero Platform" and yes, its been an ongoing project for us since 2014.  Thanks a lot by the way.

Hehe, I'd love to, but they need to add us.  Send them an email!

Its transaction based economic system of rewards - any transaction based system benefits from blockchain or public ledgers.  The most important reason though is block chain has proven itself as a "substrate" for value creation.  Bitcoins for example come from "nowhere", but people value them.  This is partly because of the utility they provide, but its also because of the cost function of mining.

A device that runs video games, like an Xbox, PC or Smartphone.  Possibly the game that has Loot integrated as well if that costs money too.

Of course not, Loot amounts will be kept track of on the chain.

We do keep designers on staff.  What type of design are you referring to though?

Yes, Loot works with simple tasks or activities.  So in a super casual mobile game, there may be only one or two actions that Loot can be tied to, but in more complex desktop or console games, there could be dozens or hundreds.

There is already a lot of incentive to cheat in games, including financial incentive.  Players farm gold, skins and other items and sell them on 3rd party sites.  Introducing our crypto solution doesn't change that, make it worse, or better.  It is impossible to stop 100% of this type of behavior from players, but solutions like Valve Anti Cheat, Battle Eye an other have done a good job of mitigating the worst of it.  Our own home grown solution is something we've been building for years (we are not a new business) and has also been proven to stop the worst of it.  Here is a video demo: https://vimeo.com/132487908

Heya

Sorry about that, I took a small vacation.  Back at it now

Thanks!  We are working hard!

Yep, thats exactly what we are working on now.  Every game developer / publisher that implements the protocol will need to open a node.  One for each game.

To be clear, we may do a sale at some point, but not right now.  Maybe never, we will see.  Signal Zero has been in business for 4 years.  We have operated as a gamer rewards platform and have generated many millions in revenue and have rewarded gamers with millions as well.  We are building under our own steam, getting feedback from the community and getting some partnerships in place.  This is the approach generally taken by tech companies to help insure there is market demand for the product they are building.

When we have more data and feedback we may do a sale, or if the protocol is done, we may just launch it.  The company makes revenue from tokenwall.com and taprivals.com right now.  We will implement our own protocol to enhance our revenue streams, but also offer it to any 3rd party that wants it, which will ultimately lead to decentralization.

No plans for an ICO right now.  Hope to release early next year - when that happens you can get Loot when you play games!

Right now there is a proof of concept on taprivals.com

Just sign up and play for free!

Right now the plan is to build and release the protocol.  When its finished, gamers can get tokens by playing games.  Currently no plans for a sale.

Thanks!  Gamers and their time are very valuable.  We are going to algorithmically tokenize that value.

That is very kind of you.  We've already spent close to a year on the project and believe its going to do a lot for the game industry
