• Re: Spell of Genesis Crowd Sale - Invest or pass?

  @febo Does anyone know why math dont work here?

  Did they sell some BitCrystals cheaper or what? As i read on their web, they should increase price on 5th day. not after few hours. Does anyone have link where is detailed explained how will this crowd sale go?

  As it currently shows is or 2/3 BTC is missing or BitCrystals were sold at 1/3 of current price.

  it sll should be found here http://bitcrystals.com/

  And i think that the progress bar on this page is not accurate, it seems broken to be honest.

• Re: Spell of Genesis Crowd Sale - Invest or pass?

  @pairmike Is the Spell of Genesis crowd sale a good investment or not. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.

  As a MTG player for 15 years, the potential of this game to disrupt the trading card game market is huge. I bought the second package, the 1.07 one, but if i had the money i would have invested 5.

  Obviously this is my opinion so please make your own, but i forsee BITCRYSTALS being the first mainstream crypto asset of them all simply because they are innovating a current industry, not re inventing it. Here are the things i think are most valuable about the SOG platform:

  • Cards will not lose value because of condition variables. Physical cards can be completely worthless with the smallest scratch for collectors, there is no chance for that with SOG

  • The ability to compete online in tournaments rather then having to go is huge. I have won many local indianapolis MTG tournaments, but i have never had the money to make it to cali to compete in bigger tournaments, with online i can now do so.

  • The ability for people to make their own games using the same assets is really cool. The magic club i was in during high school (yeah thats right, i was in a magic club :D) we used to always make our own versions of MTG. But since it was all kind of just created with verbal rules, if someone did something not legal, we would argue about it. If people can code new rules into their own platforms this is great

  • trading on the DEX, swapbot, ext... is crucial. Before i would have to wait until i went to tournaments to do some serious trading as my friends who played magic with me wouldnt have as many cards as lets say 100 people that show up to a tournament. and when trading at a tournament before the tournament begins, it can be very time consuming and by the time trading is done the tournament begins and i could not add the new cards easily with complete thought so sometimes cards would mistakenly be added to decks i would not like them to be in. trading globally anytime is fantastic

  • nerds love this stuff. i dont think everyone will be playing SOG as it is a special market for only those of interest, but those who love TCG's are always willing to pay top dollars for. I have a 61 card MTG deck worth $700 and my non MTG friends think i am stupid for spending that much on cardboard, yet i love it :)

  • unlike every other crypto asset, since these are pretty much cards i feel they will retain their value a lot more then BTC, XCP, ext.. as if the card is good, it will always be worth more then the cards that are not. Just like kelly bluebook for cars, there are basically bluebooks for MTG cards that have been established and say this card is worth this amount, you will undoubtable see this happen with SOG cards. Volume doesnt really matter for cards, the black lotus in MTG changes hands maybe 10 times a year and is still worth 5k

  Thats why i think it is reat to invest :D Even if you dont play card games, you may want some as they will still be valuable for someone else

• Re: Need a search feature on the forums

  @cryptonaut

  @eshriek Just wondering where the search is at. I've used the site search for the last year and just realized now that it doesn't include Token Controlled Access forums. Is there a way to embed my token address if I use google site:... feature?

  I'm thinking this will be one of the things that change with the pending site overhaul. Looking forward to it!

  Planning on building out a better search system along with the new redesign, which should be coming out sometime late august / early september

  Im excited to use it :D the only problem i really have with the current site is the forums not being a smaller list
