Title: Let's add a small game into BitShares and have some fun!
Post by: abit on February 04, 2016, 11:50:10 pm

Start.
Give every normal user a full "mineral bag".
By paying a bag of minerals, the user can do a flat fee transfer once for free. The bag then become empty.
The minerals in the bag will evaporate after 24 hours if not used. The bag then become empty.
When the bag is empty, the user can start "mining".
4 hours after started mining, the bag will be full.
The user have to rest for 20 hours to be able to mine again.
Repeat.

Advanced users (annual subscriber):
Advanced users have 2 bags.
Advanced users can mine a bag of minerals in 2 hours.
Advanced users can mine again after rested for 10 hours.
Advanced users equipped special bags so minerals will evaporate only after 48 hours.

Elite users (lifetime member):
Elite users have 3 bags.
Elite users can mine a bag of minerals in 1 hour.
Elite users can mine again after rested for 5 hours.
Elite users equipped high-tech bags so minerals will evaporate after 72 hours.

Happy mining :)

I like it. The game is a gimmick, but it's fun. And if it keeps people using BitShares more frequently and for longer periods, then why not have something like this? And why not have ten different games people can play? You could even combine this with other games, such as have a faucet or bingo that hands out a random prize (more bags?) at regular intervals if someone is logged in and active.

Yup, already thought about that.

By the way, here comes some concerns:
Quote
What if an attacker make 10k accounts?
Attacker can make 1mil
He can spam the network for free
Every 24hours
shouldn't happen
Network security is always serious
There's no free service
Thanks to @clayop
My answer is: let them pay 0.1 BTS for each transfer.

i like the idea

could solve the discussion about the transferees, maybe with this idea we could let the fees stay the level they are right now, but every user has the chance to get free transfers every x hours.

what do you mean by "mining"? does the user just need to be logged in?

i would prefer some small game like " 9 blocks and you have to click on each block in the right way. we could set this up like a kind of captcha, so no one can
missuse it.

and i would also like to provide small games in the client. will attract people to use the wallet.

How to make the game looks better, is not my strength..
My original idea is about one more mouse click after logged in. Or maybe two clicks.

Sorry I don't know what PLAY did.. I'm not a fan of PLAY.

We really need an expert in interaction design and gameification.

From current poll status, 4 people wanted to fund this feature, 4 people wanted to develop(make it) this feature, so, deal?

//Update: please ignore the "bullsh*t" part..

Another solution: you need to have 100K BTS in your account to be able to play the game. (like the coindays concept)
