How to trade and earn on in-game goods between ALL video games

in #altcoin7 years ago (edited)

The review of the new marketplace based on blockchain

For 13 years I have been playing video games. I’ve tried everything – from Counter Strike to World of Warcraft.  To earn or create in-game items is a part of my gaming experience. It’s true that so-called 'crafting' is often a part of the gameplay, and that stands for creating objects in the game world such as clothing, equipment, vehicles, swords, guns, ammunition or even spaceships altogether with a multitude of things.Many games such as Counter Strike, Team Fortress 2, Dota or World of Warcraft not only allow players to earn various items but also allow to trade those within the game. These exchanges create in-game economies where some gamers earn virtual money, and then trade it for the items they want from the players who were lucky enough to get a rare drop during the game. Not all of the gamers are that lucky – more than 90% of them do not have the privilege to buy and sell their items. Therefore they do not have an opportunity to monetize their time spent in-game.
It seems that the guys from DMarket created a platform that will solve the problem. 

What is DMarket 

It is the first cross-game marketplace that allows gamers from all over the world to trade or exchange in-game goods originating from any gaming platform. As its CEO Vladimir Panchenko mentioned in one of his interviews: “DMarket will allow more than two billion gamers to buy and sell their items. Existing games and platforms are currently covering only 6% of gamers worldwide. We will give this opportunity to everybody”.Being a PRO-gamer I say that it is great.

How it became possible?
The answer is blockchain technology. It made everything possible. Before DMarket there were some platforms with the similar idea, but different approach. Technology actually lies at the core of the problem. To make trading possible on a large scale, hundreds of thousands of databases needed to be synchronized. DMarket is using a decentralized database on blockchain to address this. In the case of Dmarket, it would have been impossible to unite thousands of developers and millions of game universes without blockchain technology. At this point, blockchain and smart contracts are the only way to merge any game and any publisher into a single system.

The important part is that a sale or exchange of any virtual item from any game or platform can happen in one click. This turns each and every virtual item into real commodity for billions of gamers worldwide.

DMarket tokens 

Yes, they have their own DMarket tokens. Every purchase, sale, exchange or any other transaction on their platform will require the use of DMarket tokens. New York Times has mentioned DMarket token in its fresh review on cryptocurrencies. 

The first round of token sale, according to the company’s web, is planned for 17th of August. It will last only for 4 days. There will be the second round of sale in October, and that’s it. The company claims that the price for token in the second round will increase by 25%. 

Why would you buy it? Well, it’s up to you. I know only that the amount of trading and exchanging transactions on the platform will naturally grow fast over time and so will grow the need for the tokens. And their amount will be limited. For me it is the best guarantee of value.

good idea but do games like these have in-game marketplaces as well?

Ini adalah pasar cross-game pertama yang memungkinkan gamer dari seluruh dunia untuk memperdagangkan atau menukar barang dalam game yang berasal dari platform game manapun. Seperti yang dikatakan oleh CEO Vladimir Panchenko dalam salah satu wawancaranya: "DMarket akan memungkinkan lebih dari dua miliar gamer membeli dan menjual barang mereka. Game dan platform yang ada saat ini hanya mencakup 6% gamer di seluruh dunia. Kami akan memberikan kesempatan ini kepada semua orang. "Menjadi seorang PRO-gamer saya mengatakan bahwa itu bagus.

Amaizing post. Follback brother

Does it have Dota 2?
Good post!

I want it to have path of exile so I dont need to use POE trade anymore
GIVE ME CRYPTO for inside goods

So your largest competitor will be sites that D2JSP, and Player Auctions, which have been doing this service for 10+ years, and one of which already has their own currency in existence. How are you going to be side stepping the legality of fraud? If Dmarket Tokens are given a USD value, you're assisting in the sale of stolen assets because items in games are solely owned by the developers only, and are "lent, or loaned" to players, in a EULA type agreement, stating that they can't sell or exchange their property for real currency.

Have you guys actually addressed this, or are you hoping that the anonymity of doing transactions on the blockchain can assist in you avoiding lawsuits by every major game developer in the world?

Also, who is going to be going into the games and handling these physical transactions? How are they going to be untraceable to prevent your own users from being banned from the games because you do a blatantly obvious RWT transaction. Do you have experience with preventing account exposure in video games, and protecting your customers from taking losses from bans?

What means of security do you have for items that sit in limbo while they wait to be sold, how will API's detect actual transferal of these items, because many API's can't see individual inventories on these games. Where will these items/gold be stored, who is storing them? What will prevent accounts from being banned and losses being taken by players, while you're holding their currency/items? Are you covering these losses by your own companies money if your 'mules' are banned while awaiting transactions?

All of the most important questions are not addressed in this article, which makes me wonder if you guys have actually handled a company or worked in a market that is considered a 'black market' type of transactions.

It seems that DMarket provides additional monetization opportunity for game developers. Therefore all the rights for in-game items should rightfully belong to their owners - game developers. Smart contracts should allow transferring the items from player to player, reserving all the rights for the items for game studios.
These guys are already signing agreements with game developers to make this work. They've already shared that GSC Game World (Cossacs, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and future new projects) and Tatem Games (Carnivores, Vivesector, Cryostasis) are supporting the project. Not the biggest fish so far, but they are in the crowd funding stage now and promised to announce more later. We'll see.

altcoin future is not good

Hi
Great post mate.

What is your thoughts on GAME credits?

I have a large position with them.

I also hold a decent chunk of Game credits and from there website etc, I think they will do well over the longer term.

Agreed, but like Reddcoin, when are they going to get fucking started!

same here for Redd and Game!

You sound very interesting according to your profile do you care to join us in the #ADSactly Discord to meet the rest of the @ADSactly Community? http://Discord.me/adsactly

It looks promissing, I want to invest some on that token. Of course you never know. I wonder how much a token.

HTTP://www.Playerauctions.com this is a safe an effective method to trade sell items, accounts and so forth been using it for 8 years.

UPVOTED. very good. I would be happy if you like to follow me and give your opinion about my posts. Thanks :D

good post

The making of money while playing a game ruins the game play. Period. It should not be allowed in any game.

Thank you for sharing

Very good post follow me sir

chubbyinvestor is right come on guys.

Sounds like another Game Token to watch, sounds similar to GameCredits, that's one thing they are doing also.
Many tokens will be competing in each space.
The gaming industry is huge and there's room for tokens that will be complete what their end goal is.

pretty cool dear. Thanks

What's the difference between the GameCredits (GAME) and your idea?

btw, it's not my idea! I've just shared this post with community. I'm a gamer and it seems a great idea for me. I'll invest here for sure :)

what is needed to make it a reality @cptjs ?

excelente muchas gracias por compartir todoooo!!!

This kind of stuff destroys ingame economy and most times create inflation for some specific items. Its like Steam and CSGO skins, its a mafia. Gambling sites etc, plus people will probably find a way to exploit this, as usual.

Very Interesting. I am excited to see where this goes

This is nice. have real money with fun

Good project

yes,it is really a nice topic and useful one, thanks

This is the first cross-game market that allows gamers from around the world to trade or exchange in-game items derived from any gaming platform. As CEO Vladimir Panchenko said in one of his interviews: "DMarket will allow more than two billion gamers to buy and sell their merchandise.Games and platforms currently only cover 6% of gamers worldwide.We will give this opportunity to all People. its true...?...!!! i hope not ending zero...!!!!

Hey upvoted u...nice post......U can follow @amitadit42 for the latest news over the blockchain and cryptocurrency network....Plz like and follow

Post is good

Nice 👍😉.

Very nice piece of information. I really like the concept but it still in starting phase which needs to be explored.

Loved it.......Nice post check out my posts too..

Sounds like a very compelling concept. Spells of Genesis as well as MobileGo/GAMEcredits are doing similar things in this space, in case you were unaware.

I always wished there was something like this when I was a kid. Will try to get some money to invest tomorrow as I like to be part of this project and am really curious to see where it's heading. Thanks for promoting!

And remember to FOLLOW!!!

Jesus christ man I feel bad for you, you paid over $200 dollars in SBD to promote your post to the top of promoted,

And you only made $5...I hope you learned your lesson here but I have a feeling you need someone like me to explain it and sorry for sounding Harsh but its tough love and its up to you to get mad at me for trying to help in a no nonsense way or you can take the advice and learn from it.... and understand that it was 100% your fault for promoting such a low quality post! Its an ok post fior your first one, but your supposed to just keep poosting these first posts, untill u hit your stride and find an audince,,.u should havce waited till u had an audience till u paid that much tio promote a post AND you should just chalk this up to not a Loss but a SUCCESS for Dmarket

Now maybe im rong and youre simply working for Dmaket and they gave you mopney to promote on steemiT! This is an example of what Im writing about it my newest post how peopel can use the promotion tool for advertising, but how steempower is better.... But I could be wrong BUT i assume you just wanted to make some money off this posty? I assume u would have liked to make a little more than you spent on the promotion?

but I hope you learned that it just wasn't good enough and people need better infor more original photos and a really inspirationa charistamtic post with a personal touch AND noone knows who you are and for yoru FIRST post your supposed to post about youyrself to #introduceyourself and i ythoink u saw other sucesful posts about technoloy getting $1000 and on front page and u expected your post to do the sam thing but u must understand thosesucesful $1000 postrs are frm whales with established followers

. You also can't expect people to just upvote you when you JUST joined steemit....You should never put all your egs in one basket and u should have spread out yoru promotion money like just a few bucks here an a few bucks there, and u should be writing more posts

please dont blame steemit for this potential failure, i would see this as a success for Dmarket and i would send this toi Dmarket and show themn how miuchu spoendt and askthem if they can help u out by maybe signiong up to steemit to upvote your new posts, u cant ask them to pay u for this but u can show themhow you hace succesfuly shown Dmarket theyr product, to over 649 people on steemit!

And thats petty cool, just remember, u ghot almost 700 views but obly 200 uopvites, because people just didnt see your post as high enough quality and kind of lazy, you didnt realy give us a reasn to upvote. nopthing super special here

BUT iuf youy had a lot of followers you could make money off posts like this!
if you also just kep posting and if you ACTUALLy keep up to date with this industry, and i mean ACTUALLy keep up to date and not6just copy press releases and bitcoin news sites, than you might actualy gain a lot of followers and make money off these types of posts! but u have a LO of competition!

u should just start with telling peopel about ur life and ytry to make it as interesting and bitcoin related as possible and post in the tag #introduceyourself
