Hey Nate! I followed through, tonight at 11:30 pm (my time) in buying my first "one plot per month" plot of land. I'm glad you posted about this, as I had NOT SERIOUSLY been considering buying more land until I read your post and went back and forth with you. I will now be in the processing of figuring out how to offset the (current) 20,000 DEC cost of the "one plot per month) via my various DEC income sources, and will likely CONTINUE buying the one monthly plot for as long as I can come up with the cost of the plot each month. Another good thing about this kind of gradual buying is that it will keep us moving forward while we wait for the land to actually live, and so I think that, PSYCHOLOGICALLY, it's a good move. Thanks again for the push on that, and if the value of the land MOONS then you will have been partly the reason for that (for however many plots I am able to obtain going forward with this plan). Let's hope our general sense of the FUNDAMENTALS of the land are correct and that we end up benefitting, BIG TIME, as this thing evolves. Like, maybe the plot I just bought has a castle on it. That would be totally BITCHIN'... Peace...

Wow, that's awesome! And don't forget to check other markets too. Remember: Land plots can be tokenized and traded on platforms such as Hive-Engine.
Roger that. Whoa! Just saw that my swap.btc jumped up ~ $20 USD in value since yesterday! So my first plot is ALREADY paid off! Haha! By the way, which token would I trade in Hive-Engine for the land? I could purchase at least one of those so that the token will be on the top of my list of tokens in my Hive-Engine account. If you could give brief direction on how to buy "one plot" on Hive-Engine that would be very helpful, if possible.
You would deposit HIVE, then use that HIVE to trade for other tokens on the platform. Search for the token named "PLOT", then place a buy order using the HIVE you deposited.
Plots are currently going for around 11 bucks on Hive Engine I think.
Once you have a Plot token, you can send that Plot to your game account anytime from the Collection screen. Since you already have a Plot, click the menu icon for that row and select "tokenize". You will then be able to send the Plot from Hive-Engine to your in-game balance.
Excellent, Nate. I went through the process of withdrawing 12,600 DEC from my in-game wallet to Hive-Engine, and then several orders to turn that 12,600 DEC into ~ 93 Hive, and then when I made the final order of 1 PLOT it cost only 91.5 Hive. Here is the end result. Let me know if this is what you were basically describing in your directions. Also, did this plot just cost me $12.60 USD ( 12,600 DEC )? Or did I ultimately pay more or less than that. The whole conversion process is confusing and annoying, but if I just got a PLOT for between $11 and $12 USD I have ZERO complaints about that:
Yup, nice job! Looks like around 12 bucks I think.
Now go to your collection screen where your other plot is. There should be a "hamburger" menu icon to the right of your Plot row. Click that and select "tokenize". You should be able to bring your Hive Engine "plot" into the game.
Wow. I was wondering if that was possible. Thanks for explaining that. The only problem is that when I hit "tokenize" it sent the one (in-game) plot over to Hive-Engine, so I now have TWO there. But I really prefer the two PLOT tokens to show in the in-game wallet. I tried to "send" the two tokens from Hive-Engine to @transcript-junky, and it gave a "you can't send tokens to yourself error. Any way to fix this?
Sorry, let me clarify. You click "tokenize" to open the pop-up.
From the pop-up, there are two options: Tokenize (send from game to Hive-Engine) and Deposit (send from Hive Engine to game).
