Dragginator - the new cryptokitties?
Disclaimer: this is by no means a financial or an investment advice. One should always make his own research before investing into any project. That is, blockchain related, or not. Please, make sure to make your own research about any project before making a decision to invest.
As some of you might know, I personally, and some of my collegues are always on the lookout for interesting projects. We are a strange bunch, and we analyze the projects we pick and invest in, based on sometimes, rather interseting but strange criteria (insert a smiley face).
But the basic criteria are always the same:
- The code base and its development
- The team and its openness to public
- The product and its technological value
- The economical model
- Any other interesting factors that might influence the value and demand
It is also worth noting, that sometimes we are basing our values merely on speculation and not anything else, so once again: please make your own research before making any investment decisions.
In any case, let's move on to the project itself. The project is called Bismuth. Here it is on CMC, there you will find all the needed links to explore the project. But rather than talking about the core project (however it is the core we analyzed before getting interest in it), I would like to talk about an application build on top of it.
The application is called Dragginator and it is a game witch is somewhat similar to the famous crypto kitties, but all about eggs and dragons, in the words of the developers of the game:
Dragginator is a blockchain game based upon collectible virtual animals you can raise and breed.
Each one is born as an Egg, with specific DNA info.
Each one is more or less capable for a specific task, and can be common or very rare.
The game also features 3D graphics.
You can find all the relevant information about the project on their website, where you can read how to buy the eggs, how to sell them, how to use them and so on. Obviously you will need to install the Bismuth client first (use the source code preferably to install it). It is very easy to use and the game developers have been so nice and kind as to have a very easy and understandable guide on how to buy, sell and make other operations on the platform.
In fact, @bitsignal has already wrote 2 great posts about the game. And I am glad someone is doing it, as I think cool things like this, should get as mush as possible attention from the public. That means more users, more demand and so on.
Right now, the eggs cost roughly 2 USD each (as per writing this article). But the price soon will go up to 5 BIS (roughly 5 USD at the current exchange rate). According to the developers, the eggs will eventually hatch, and then the “show will go on”. We will have amazing dragons, each one unique and with his own set of abilities (you can already see that each egg has its own unique DNA and abilities).
Recently, in the light of the world cup, that is right now bieng held in Russia. The game introduced a new feature. An egg tournament, just like the world cup. About a week ago, the game introduced new eggs, each representing a team from the world cup. And now, you can create a team from up to 10 eggs and register them to participate in the tournament! You can find all the details about the tournament, how to register eggs to it and so on, on the website. At the time of writing this article 19 teams have already registered, myself included.
So hopefully our teams (or our eggs, whichever you prefer) can meet and battle each other out! Thanks for reading.
