RE: SteemMonsters - My own DREAM card ... Meet the Liquid Mirror Monster "GALLIUMATOR"
Eeeek... hence people saying the process is too cumbersome. What a nightmare.
I really hope the devs can sort it for you.
Yup, me too! A menu item in the web version would solve all the problems.
OR
Making the game flexible enough so that you can log in on ANY device and KEEP your data! A login should be a login irrespective of the device being used. I've never heard of such a thing as being stuck to the device you originally logged in with. That seems almost insane in today's environment.
BTW, I've been meaning to ask you what kind of research you do. My spouse is a chemical engineer and has done various research on minerals, glues, circuit boards, textiles, and fuels.
Exactly.. Amen to that lol.
Health and medical research (in a hospital) ☺
Oh cool! Any specific diseases or all types?
Anything on nutrition or cancer? Would be kind of special to get the latest breaking discoveries straight from the source.
Mainly drug trials (can't name the drugs but a Leukaemia most current one at moment), but devices and processes as well :)
Crypto and improving lives - its my ying and yang. My 2 little boys keep me grounded.
How'd you get into Spells of Genesis by the way? And what do you like most about it?
Do you think you'll get into SteemMonsters eventually? SteemMonsters to me seems to be the next evolution of blockchain RPG.
Your life sounds interesting and full.
Pbock got me into SoG. He's playing my adventure game and mentioned it. I tried the tutorial and just kept going. I guess the idea of earning something you could sell was what got me hooked. I need a way to earn some crypto other than Steem. I wanted to buy some Steem, but to convert Canadian currency into bitcoin or etherium is too convoluted for me. I thought that I could sell some cards and get some bitcoin that way. (However that seems very unlikely now after hearing what you had to say). Now I think I'll probably need to sell some Steem just to give away the cards I earn! LOL
I enjoy helping people, so have been trying all manner of ideas on Steem to grow my account so that I can dole out bigger votes, but that isn't so easy either if you don't have whale support. Unfortunately for me, the majority of my support comes from those with less VP (vote power) than I have. But that's OK; my account is getting slowly bigger and my VP is getting stronger. Those who participate either do so for the votes or simply because they enjoy the games and contests I run. I enjoy running them and doling out the votes, so all is well.
As much as I understand about SteemMonsters is that you MUST purchase a starter pack just to get started. I am saving all my SP for giving bigger votes, so I'm reluctant to use it to buy stuff with. If I ever get to the point where I can afford to give up a few steem without hurting my VP too much, that's a different story, but for now, every Steem counts when a minnow. Since the only thing happening in SteemMonsters now is trading cards, I will need to wait until the game releases to see how it actually plays out. If it looks like fun, I will likely try to join in if the entry cost is affordable. I'll need to give something else up, because time is also in short supply for me. I already spend way too much time at the computer as is. With SoG, it takes just a few minutes each day to play a round. That's one of the things I like about it. Running my own game here on Steem takes up a whole lot of my time. I never learned to type, so my typing is extremely slow! And of course, typing is what we do here.
Well, I've filled a good chapter of words here. Time for dinner.
All the best!
Oh pbock - he's been nice and helpful to me in the past.
Please don't let me saying it's tough to earn and sell a card deter you - it is possible, just something for me anyways that has proved not very worthwhile (e.g. it can take 1 year to earn the 4 legendary cards to fuse and blockchainize, but they sell from $5 - $25 only currently). I play SoG as it helps get my mind away from work and is a ok way to pass 20-30mins.
You're right regards SteemMonsters requiring you to buy the Starter pack. But they will be having daily and weekly tournaments with quite a bit of money and other prizes up for grabs. The community spirit around it is cool as well, with lots of giveaways etc... hopefully it stays that way after the $$ tournaments start lol.
I admire your discipline towards building your VP - it is hard work, too hard for me. The few posts I've made go nowhere without paying bidbots... it's too discouraging seeing $500 posts only to realise 99% of it is from bots. So I can see how every bit is important for you. Have you got your free crypto from byteball? I'm assuming you have. that will be an easy $40-$80 of steem for you.
I hope you enjoyed your dinner.
I really appreciate you taking the time to chat on this 'social platform' :)
Thanks Goose20,
I do enjoy chatting with you. You seem like a real gentleman.
$5 - $25 for a year's work, huh? My Steem account reached $3,000 at one point in about a year. It is down now, but I like it like that because we actually earn MORE when the price of Steem is below $1.00, so I hope it remains low for several months. Then when it shoots up is when we all make the real gains. That would be the time to sell a little bit for some other currency.
If SteemMonsters is done well, it shouldn't matter if I start late or get in as one of the first. That is one of the big complaints about Steem... those who got in early had a huge advantage over anyone coming in a year later. Now with this latest hard fork, the little guys are penalized even more! I wouldn't recommend anyone to start now. How do they expect the platform to grow if they load all the expenses of running the servers on those least able to pay? Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the new voting system, but it sure looks bad for anyone who still has dust votes! Anyway, hopefully the SteemMonsters game isn't like that.
I grew up in a poor immigrant family, so had to inch my way up the ladder all my life. Slow and steady was my modus operendi. I've never paid a bit bot and don't ever intend to. Right from the start I saw them as a rip-off with only the bot owner actually benefiting from its use. I see so many people paying more to the bot than what they get back in votes. I don't know why people don't just use their full vote power to vote on others and get the same in return? That is what the system was designed for! When I vote for you, 100% of my vote goes to you and when you vote for me, 100% goes to me. If I use one of those "services" where I pay a bot to vote for me, I get 50% of my vote and the bot owner gets 50% (at best). Likely the bot owner gets 60% or more! I really don't understand why people are still using them. They have undermined the basic premise that Steem was founded on.
I actually JUST read about Byteball before arriving at this comment. The post was 2 months old. Is the airdrop still on-going? Is it legitimate? Is it safe? Can they steal your keys? The attestation process seems convoluted and overly complicated for a deal where they want to GIVE you money yet you need to PAY first. I got my steem account totally free. What gives here?
My dinner was very good, thank-you. In fact I had 2 helpings and now I feel bloated! LOL. I ate too fast and didn't realize I was full until it was too late!
Yes, this IS a social media platform and chatting is what we are supposed to do (as opposed to buying votes). I have met some really nice people on Steem and that is what keeps me going. I get very discouraged when I think of what Steem was envisioned to be and what it has become. However, as long as there are good people here, I feel there is a niche where I can hang out. Just as in the real world, we form our own little communities and we hang out with those of like mind.
Good night, sleep well, and we will chat again.
It has been 4 to 5 days now and I still have no response to my problem on the SoG forum. I see what you mean by lack of support. I don't see the point in starting over from nothing for one epic card, so until this gets resolved, it would be a waste to take your card. Now if it were 1 or more legendaries, that would probably be worth starting over for. LOL
That leads me to another thought... If the account is tied to a specific device, when that device is replaced, the owner loses his data! The only items saved would be those placed onto the blockchain. The owner would need to start from nothing and link to the BoO to retrieve those cards. All daily login bonuses and mana gains would be lost!
Ouch that's no good. The dev's should make taking care of their player's issues a priority - the game is not bug-free, and after 3 years of development you would think things were a lot less cumbersome too.
(Can finally post again)
