Tha Gaming Wallet has not been deprecated and should be up for everyone. We are in the process of upgrading insight, bitcore, gaming wallet and bws stack to be compatible to latest protocol changes. When we see a network reorg, insight and BWS have been crashing. Nothing to worry about on main net, it's our reference implementation in those systems.

As per our announcement yesterday we are working on meeting the June milestone, we will keep everyone posted as we progress.

Thank you for the support.

There are many many resources explaining how GameCredits works. I suggest our youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzkC8rkM38sxpuPcnyr1lXg and our newsletters https://gamecredits.net/newsletter/issues/23/

But to also explain because I'm sure many are curious.

GameCredits provides a universal solution for the entire gaming industry. By implementing our API game developers can use GameCredits as a means of payment for in game currencies/items. In doing so, they save more than 20% on fees currently paid out to vendors like apple/google. At the same time developers reduce their payment processing periods from up to 60 days to minutes, eliminate chargebacks/fraud, and increase consumer deposit limits (which are currently very low). Currently two games Fragoria and Get the Gun(in total 10 million registered users) are using our API as a means of payment. Now BTC is currently the only means of payment for GAME in our wallet. However, in a matter of days we will be adding credit cards. This means that gamers can purchase GAME without having to know what it is. Instead they can now enjoy a coin they can transact from game to game with, have anonymity, enjoy higher deposit limits, and earn through playing their favorite games (gamers can currently find coupons for GameCredits in both Fragoria and Get the Gun. This incentivizes them to use the platform and therefore saves game developers potentially millions). Recently we announced the GameCredits Store which will be released Q2 this year with over 300 games. Any game developer can get their game listed in just 10 minutes, and the whole store runs on GameCredits.

I hope that gives you a pretty good idea of what we're doing here. If you have any others questions/comments/concerns please feel free to voice them here, or on our slack!

That's too bad.
It's over long time ago including extended claiming/redumption.
XEM is still undervalued and very cheap.
You had better buy XEM now.

Iota will enable nano payment and an efficient free market for IoT devices to trade data. In the IoT data trading marketplace, Iota tokens are the medium to trade data just like the Petrodollars in the international oil marketplace.

I think your next natural question will be "why is it possible?". It is possible because Iota has the potential to create the first IoT marketplace and companies and devices will have to use it. It is why Bitcoin is worthy much more than any other coins, first mover advantage.

The ability to send true micro-transactions, securely in real time on extremely lighthardware. There are 'regular usecases' such as paying in real time for streaming or micro-services that this allows, but to see the true potential you have to contemplate what the Internet of Things truly is. in 5 years there'll be 50 + billion connected devices that communicate and cooperate, given the scarcity of resources this ecosystem will need its own economy, up until now no technology solved this problem, but IOTA does.

It was predicted in the early days by Satoshi that mining would end up somewhat centralized, he specifically mentioned "specialized" which basically means centralized. This is why keeping nodes decentralized is the way to go, and this is why we need to avoid things like Bitcoin XT like the plague. Dont want to end up with both centralized mining and centralized nodes, thats the end of Bitcoin basically.

Nxt as presently used would be one example (included within OP under PoS). As I understand it (and correct me if I'm wrong), most of the value is presently accounted for via the asset exchange (as opposed to the the native currency being a store of value or used transactionally)

Bitshares and Ethereum are both "platforms" to some extent, which means whether they are relying on offchain assets for most of their value is more of a practical question that will have to play out over time.

Most people make the argument that a block chain is useless without a native currency, as Smooth has already done so in this thread.  Bitshares has a native currency, so it's not a drawback.

If your consensus mechanism is relatively bulletproof, which I believe DPoS now is considering you can specify how many delegates you require for a transaction instead of just 51, then the native currency is obviously going to have large value by default.

I haven't watched all of them, but the best Larimer video is probably the 4 minute one below.  It's like watching a NASA worker from the 70's, complete with identical outfit and all.  Try not to drool at the screen too much, Kelsey:

whats advantages does bts offer over say NXT?

The other advantage is that even if Bitcoin was to crash to nothing, 2.0 platforms (Bitshares, Ethereum, etc) like this can blend in with traditional products traded on Wall Street and continue to have value if cryptocurrency is no longer trusted as a store of value in the fallout.  The native currency would obviously still have value being a part of the platform itself.

In compare to other 2.0 coins BitShares is only proven scam.

First PTS, than AGS, early BTS buyer.... Endless broken promises and dilutions. How do I know. I'm BitShares investor and there from the beginning. I'm holding AGS which is now worthless. These was their promise:

https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,2078.msg24219.html#msg24219

Now some Brownie points worth more than AGS. Digital asset called BROWNIE.PTS on the BitShares network is privately issued coins made by Dan Larimer. 1BTC suddenly worth less then few posts in bitsharestalk.org. You can get that points just for posting and if Dan like you then you are in. Pure Genius in creating magic money.

How  anybody can still believe in these project is a mystery. He will always make fool from the new investor because that is all they was doing from the beginning.
