Seasons greetings NU supporters. Although we did not reach the minimum goal for the presale we are excited to announce that the project will continue.

The team that successfully managed the Gladius campaign will now manage NU. Under this new management you can expect a much-needed rebranding, restructuring and all-round improvements to the technical aspects of the project and the crowd sale.

For current participants of the presale you will get tokens for the new smart contract that is to be released.

With the stronger backing that we now have we aim to look forward to a brighter future for the project. Thank you to all the supporters that have stood by us, please stay tuned for more details.

Our Alpha Service Application guide will be ready shortly so keep an eye out for it. In the meantime the following notes will be helpful:
Public IP address is required, unless you can set up your router to provide the same functionality,
Port 7777 must be open for both UDP and TCP
It can be run on headless or non headless on a windows or windows server OS
It can be run on headless only for Linux.
We recommend Ubuntu for the Linux installation.
You can find the downloadable alpha on our website: https://networkunits.io

Hi omitusaf

From the Gamers aspect, anyone who plays games will have enough understanding of how to use the platform.
From the Hardware and bandwidth lenders perspective it will seem a bit more technical but as the project advances we will make this as simple to use as possible.
From a developers perspective this will eventually be very easy to integrate as an asset into any Unity game.

Hi Deathland

Our Project is a Unity asset that can be integrated into any games that use this asset.

Hi Awardotter the minimum transaction is 0.01 ETH

We are excited to announce that our Bounty Campaign has now started.

Hi Everyone

Just a quick update.

We have opened up pre-registrations for our upcoming Proof of Concept Platform, the registration form can be found here:

https://networkunits.io/account/register

Hi Dimonhamon

There will be one shortly we will announce it soon.

No problem Bullexdam, we welcome any feedback or questions the community may have about the project.

In regards to earning tokens for sharing bandwidth Gladius is similar, another point of difference is that our verification process aims to rewards players with tokens.

However the use cases differ:

Gladius aims to fight DDOS attacks.
Network Units aims to provide a Decentralized Multiplayer Framework that is easily integrated into Games.

Hi Bullexadam,

We were going to write a use case of potential earnings for sharing, and potential costings for purchasing service from the infrastructure. However your suggestion is great idea, we will work on a calculator and will post here as soon as its ready.

Feel free to send through any additional feedback or queries you may have.

You are correct Bullexadam, I am one of the developers of the NU project. Thank you very much we really appreciate your support.

Hi riemannmolds

I'm presuming you mean if things don't go as expected, what will we do and how will we react/respond to the problems?
Essentially it depends on the situation in any case we will identify the problem, the issue, analyze, plan, then implement solution and advise how it would affect you personally.

Feel free to let us know of any specifics or further thoughts or questions you may have.

We welcome input from potential partners.

Hi Bullexadam

Thank you for your queries.


Why should I put my Ether in this ICO and not in an other, what makes this ICO work?
While I agree that there are many great projects out there to choose from, Network Units has some unique key points of interest:

• Network Units has two unique mining processes, firstly gamers can connect their wallets and participate in our verification process while they play games and earn tokens for doing so. Secondly, Computer and Server owners can rent out their unused bandwidth and processing power to developers and also earn tokens for doing so.
• Network Units will develop an easy to integrate Unity3D asset for developers to integrate into their own games. This asset will simplify network code development as well as simplifying their infrastructure needs

So to conclude Network Units is a cryptocurrency that does not just target one group of people. But Gamers, Game Developers and Resource Owners. Additionally, our asset will be multiplatform and will be easy to integrate into Mobile, PC, Holographic, AR, VR devices and more.


If this project is working how many gamers can work with this blockchain, and do you have an indication how huge this will be in the near future?
We all know the gaming industry is massive however our platform is built for multiplayer gaming. Even though multiplayer gaming is a portion of this industry it has been proven that gamers spend more money and time on multiplayer games than single player and in many cases, are actually willing to pay for micro transactions or subscription fees to play. With the power of the Blockchain we have a mechanism to provide the opposite. Rather than charge gamers we can reward those that want to participate in our verification process. This feature is going to drive more gamers to games developed with the NU framework. Developers that realize this will naturally want to utilize our platform with the added advantage of cheaper infrastructure costs due to NU making use of unused Processing Power and bandwidth. This automatically makes the NU platform more appealing than traditional and centralized alternatives. To answer your question more clearly, the more developers that integrate the NU framework into their games then the larger our platform will grow!


Is it easy to mine or rent out your computer space / internet bandwidth even if you are a normal gamer without to many experience with crypto/blockchain?
Eventually this will be very easy to do. For experienced users they will be able to link their own wallets, for those that are less experienced we will handle the wallets for them. This allows anyone regardless of Blockchain experience to start earning tokens straight away.


Why is the pre-ICO quite long?
There are multiple reasons for this decision.

• The volatility of the Cryptocurrency Market
• To allow us as much time as possible to grow the NU community
• To gain more interest in our project
• To improve the quality of our project.

Who picked the team and why did NU choose that team
Initially the NU team is made up of the Evil Badger Game Studio based in Australia and New Zealand. As game developers we realized that the next stage of evolution for us would be multiplayer gaming. Rather than build an internal framework we wanted the ability to share it with other developers and their players. The Blockchain allows us to do it in a very unique manner that was previously unimaginable. Although as a company we have never done a Token Crowdsale before, we have a panel of extremely talented and knowledgeable Advisors with successful Crowdsale experience that have been indispensable in providing the guidance and resources that we need.

Please feel free to let us know if you have further thoughts or questions.

We have decided on a public Pre Ico that will commence in 3 days and 16 hours from this post.

Hi Laidence, from the gamers perspective the disruption will be minimal as the automatic fail over will kick in and instantly move the players to another service provider.

From the service providers perspective they will be charged a penalty depending on the severity of the outage based on the level of service intended.

We are proud to announce that the Smart Contract Audit performed by the Hosho Group was successful.

https://medium.com/@networkunits/network-units-smart-contract-audit-successful-ed75147b9460

In order to ensure that the Network Units crowdsale runs as safely as possible we have decided to have our smart contract audited by the Hosho Group who are the Global Leaders in Solidity. We have therefore had to delay the Pre ICO. It will now commence on the 8th of November 2017. We truly appreciate your support and are very excited to have you take part in the NU decentralized revolution. Feel free to let us know if you have any questions regarding this announcement.
