I just saw this post stuck forever at $5.55 so i came to comment
But also hey cool text based games on hive , super under explored. I used to post my own wanna be MUD text in comments and would pretend like we could do text based games, i even used ro play screenshot chess with @tylersr in the comments of steemit posts
Cool to se markdown text games, usually.id expect these games over discord or telegram
Ever seen the work of @kurtybot using a sister chain of hive, wax, and its niftywizards telegram mudd ? Unless im exagerating, i swore he was able to get like few hundred tjousand dollars in wax volume at one point on atomichub but yeah ...theres huge juge potential for text based blockchain games
Only problem is how hard it is to figure out how to even signup and where to keep your private key and all that. People are so used to one click google logins and of course thats a whole mess with hive... sure theres third party people in leo trying that but its so centralized it makes me wanna vomit. We desperatky need dan larimer back here to give us some universal guest account edenos web of trust signup system so we can actually just have millions joining at one time and figure iit how to sell hivepower as a ligetime memberahip
Because itherwise, a text based game will obly be as populqr as the few active users lect here, (not that im.not confident that hive WILL no doubt explode in populqrity as bitcoin goes up. Like always...because no where else can you sustainably earn small amounts of.realistic spendable crypto..)
But when these games are inside discord and telegram they explode because of how many users those apps have, because precisiely because they are mobile apps
The mobile app ecency and hive wallet are nice but dont have an easy scalable way to let a million people join in a day or a week or whatever. But i hope im wrong. Maybe im iut of the loop but i see no blockchain level account signup system that can like.... pull users in from telegram discord and assign hive wallets maybe using a tokeniEd system like helios.surf or old steem ninja...but theres so many ways to signup its a lil confusing
Yes i know we have account creation tokens but how is the math concerning scaling those up? Arent there only so many of those? Like you cant get around the need to soend 3 hive on account creation?( Or 0.5 hive on helios? But onky because they buy and sell un used blockchain level account creation tokens right?)
How many actual accounts can we generate then? If it still costs 3 hive or even if it was only 1 hive to create an account, doesnt that limit us to the hive in reward pools /hivedao etc? Wont someone with a lot of hive have to give up 3 million hive to create 1 .illion accounts? And if only a few dozen million hive is generated a yeat isnt that our new account creation limit? Will we have to sell hive accounts as a "lifetime membership" if hive is $4 and it now costs like 10 or 20 bucks to signup? Thats fine and even 100 dollars to signup is a fair lifetime membership fee
But i just am so confused as to how many users can realistically signup for hive. Because i WANT to see text based games like rhis BLOW UP just here on hive blog in the comments or on a special telegram that connects ro hive, like the discord tip bot @tipcc og it has SO much untapped potential and its creator ukno if he was paid would be ipen to building iut the bot to make posts on behalf of discord users who tip and pay for the resiurce credits etc.... shared guest acciunts and a front end that divided the comments and posts shared on one account as multiplr accounts could be a possibility right?
Ok enough ranting but i just had to ask about how we can scale hive up to make account signup for milliosn as easy as telegram so we can have telegram style niftywizard type text based games
Thanks for the write-up. Unfortunately I'm very novice to the blockchains, so I cannot really answer your question.
I can only note that most people go to places where other people already are.
