Unfortunately I've got an iPhone so I can't play it myself. I'm trying to convince @corinnestokes to let me try it on her new phone she just got today though. :)
Any plans for an iPhone release?
I've been waiting for more cryptocurrency-connected games for a while now and was sad when the Cryptohunt ICO failed (thankfully it was a smart contract, so I got my money back).
What are your thoughts about when the winners vote list posts get a bunch of votes and show up on trending? Do you think some people will be bothered by that and flag if they think the rewards pool shouldn't fund games like this? Do you have plans to do an SMT in the future?
That's really unfortunate but I'm sure @corinnestokes will permit you to test on her phone. :)
Yes, I'm planning for an iPhone release. Unfortunately, I don't have an iPhone and that's preventing me to test the game on it. As soon as I arrange multiple versions of iPhones and test on it (or if my family members or friends could arrange some), I will give it a go. I have the iPhone code ready as well. iPhone version is my first priority. ;)
There are two types of posts that will be made daily from @super8ballclub.
The first type will have the names of all the winners who are "eligible for the payout" after we manually verify their gaming activity. Since the system allows only 8 beneficiaries per post, we cannot include all the winners in one post.
The second is going to use the beneficiary system to reward those winners with the appropriate percentages, and there will be multiple posts which will essentially divide the value of votes too. I'm planning to write a detailed post about it soon.
For the second type, I don't think it can make to trending page as we are allowed only 8 beneficiaries per post. So, there would be multiple posts to reward other winners as well. In case if there are only 8 winners, then yes, it may trend on the front page but that's very less likely. For the first type, there are more possibilities to get it on trending page more often since it would be a single post.
In both cases, the flagging risk exists. I don't think big stakeholders would mind seeing the project successful. 8 Ball Pool is downloaded 100 Million times just from Play store alone and there are many other pool games. The fact that gamers at Super 8 Ball Club are being rewarded for their time will make it attractive for new people to join in. But if the posts start bothering others, then we can adjust the voting time to ensure that such posts won't make on the trending page.
As for an SMT, I have some plans but they are not yet final. I'd love to see how successful it becomes without SMT at first.
Thank you for everything. Have a nice day!
Sounds like a good plan. I noticed you said beneficiaries and was curious how you'd get around the 8 account limit. Sounds like something worth increasing on the blockchain level (it's come up before as well).
I imagine everyone who gets tagged on a winning post will vote it up as well. Kind of like a self-payment from the rewards pool for winner. Can't say I blame them either. If I won a tournament and my name was listed in the post that's going to partially pay out to me, I'd probably vote it up also (even though I don't self-vote or use voting bots, which are just another version of self-voting).
I'm excited to see where this project goes. Good luck!
I've read somewhere that Steemit INC is planning to increase the beneficiaries limit from 8 to 256 in one of the upcoming hard forks but I'm not confirmed about it.
You're right about the self-upvote thingy. That was one of the reasons for saying that winners vote list is expected to trend more often than payout posts. But you described it better than me.
Thanks. I'm also excited about the project and your delegation should start pumping the things up now. ;)
