The cryptocurrency world is an open playground waiting for new utilities to be developed. No matter the angle, something can be made to take advantage of a specific chore and turn it into something useful to earn digital currencies. Just check the initiatives of the environmentalists. One of the most rewarding experiences for many people around the world is gaming. We usually invest hours of our life playing video games, with the sole intent of being entertained. But what if you could earn something out of your gaming time, and turn it into a profit?
Enter: Stockus
That ground has been covered by a new initiative called Stockus. That’s the name of a new gaming platform that allows gamers to make trade transactions based on Ethereum. The working structure is being developed to amalgamate fast-paced competition on gaming with financial operations. The concept may sound innovate, but video game players have handled this kind of transactions for a long time on MMOG or video game consoles with the World Of Warcraft and Grand Theft Auto franchises being the most visible examples.
Just by singing with Stockus, players get instant access to a wide catalog of benefits, the first of them being the chance of playing on the platform under the same conditions as every other player without the need of an initial investment. The tournaments for players are fixed in different time settings: daily, weekly or monthly. All of them have an increasing level of challenge ranging from novices to experts. If the player wins, he’ll get awarded benefits in Ethereum, which he’ll be able to cash in at any moment. There is no need to look for hidden fees, since all transactions are publicly verified.
What is Stockus offering?
Stockus is offering the chance to dive in the world of digital currencies to inexperienced users as well as established traders. The platform has a large catalog of tools and in-game tutorials to help newcomers find their way through the tournaments without being stomped by more experienced players. They can also rely and top-class staff support that is ready to offer a hand in case of complications with any feature related to the platform functionality. For high-roller investors, there is the opportunity to join with no starting capital if they wish to do so. They’ll have the chance to participate in stock exchange while improving their trading skills with a new type of player.
How Stockus will be financed?
Stockus is being financed with an ICO called STT that is set to begin circulation in 2018. The financing obtained will be used to deploy the tournaments for players and generate the rewards. This initial influx of cash will also be used for the developing team to finance the creation of a mobile app and expand their operations. The rest of it will be directed to cover diverse expenses related to operations and administrative costs.
The Stockus platform is built for gamers who want to earn a reward from their gaming experience that goes beyond the fleeting satisfaction of beating a game. The chance to enable real world financial activities like stock trade and exchange with other players around the world is a new experience that deserves consideration. To learn more about additional features or to read the Whitepaper of Stockus you can go to http://stockus.io/ and get all the info you may need.
I may just have to get back into gaming for this.
This is such a good news for game players. Of course, the main purpose of playing some games is to win. We were born to be winners! But besides the pleasure of the game or being a winner, on this platform every player has the chanse to gain some money, to buy and sell shares. That's really good!
Something was always going to end up occupying this space. My son plays Roblox and they have robux. THose kinds of transactions are SCREAMING for a blockchain. THe one that wins the race will moon, no doubt.
The mooooooonnnnnnnnnnn!
My son will love this news definitely, smells crypto...for good and fun games.
Each industry/niche will have its own ecosystem. This will be the game theory platform... the new game of life.
That's why steemit works. Positive interactions are always more beneficial for everyone. Interacting only makes sense..
WE can all occupy by being a ME
people were playing games for winning even without real money as reward
so much good news last time but where real result?
I've heard of similar projects like Firstblood and Unikrn - worth checking out as they are ahead probably in development. I wish great success for them all.
I'm trying to get some gamer friends of mine into cryptocurrencies when some of these types of paid to play gaming goes further main stream.
Platform Stockus is a great shchig forward in the world of games and crypto, in the world of the future. An open system and payment from smart contracts of the etherium makes payments transparent. Excellent technical support and opportunity. for investors to join without initial capital and earn, sure to cause high interest. Thank you I like it, I will follow the developments
Thank you @frank1in !
Stockus is changing the view of the stock market as it opens the possibility for users to trade on the exchange without serious financial losses. Stockus tournaments provide an opportunity to trade with a significant amount of virtual capital, allowing players to look at the exchange trade in a differently and make decisions more freely, which is impossible in reality.
I never thought that I could encourage my kids to be gamers when they grow up and feel okay about it... but, DO WHAT YOU LOVE!
Have fun and earn crypto? Can't beat that!
Yep, we're going to be free to do whatever we want soon AND put food on the table.
its a good time to be alive.
just make sure they get out once and awhile to get some sun and air
There is huge gamer community and it is expanding with each day so crypto lover having gaming interest will like it much and it has only one way to go and that is going up.
We have to understand that times are changing now, and the blockchain platform has a huge word to say here. Being able to use Stockus to freely trade asset and trade with virtual cap is a great opportunity for both parts, investors as game players all over the world. And the importance of segment of audience is very important in trading. It can influence the game even from the Token Sales. Thanks for sharing this post, @danizaharie
@danizaharie I’m curious if this platform will only benefit professional gamers or if casual gamers will also be able to benefit. I played WOW back in the day and was not a stranger to farming in game items for financial gains, but these days, I don’t have nearly the time to be able to spend. I know you mentioned that the platform will ensure the same in game conditions for all players, but do you think that will be enough to level the playing field?
Follow @trye17 for cryptobasics, thoughts, stories and memes.
Stockus will have many different tournaments. The player will choose the game that suits him best. If the player has enough time to play, he can choose a dynamic day tournament and earn for example $ 5000 a day. If he likes a slower game, likes to use strategies and work with several tools, he can choose a one-week tournament. Here it is possible to earn much more. If the player has very little time, he can choose the game on the options.
Those, who come to the exchange for the first time, play in Freeroll tournaments, where there is no buy-in, but there are also prizes and one can earn. And most importantly, one can learn how to play on the stock exchange. Here you can learn to play with famous players who will help you make the first steps on the stock exchange.
Interesting idea, but I'm not holding my breath until I see a real world implementation. I aggree with @trye17 that farming in MMOs will probably be a use case - some smart guys will probably be using bots :)). Maybe achivements guides can be another application...
Interesting, so free roll tournaments to learn the games and if it suites you, you can work your way up to the buy in tournaments for a larger payout? What is the plan to get around the licensing issues for everyone to play? Will users be required to buy the game before they play in the tournaments?
If it works out where users can play the games for free, it could be an awesome platform to try out games before you buy them for the casual gamer like me.
Yes, gamers are a huge audience, and the crypto currency among them will be in demand.
Wow My Uncle might finally enter the blockchain era. He is a gaming freak!
Thanks for showing us the way ahead. I was concerned about a couple of my younger relatives who are 'gamers' and usually, for me, that just meant someone who sat on the couch all day playing video games. So, apparently, I stand corrected, and if they can engaged in what they are going to do anyway, and put food on the table, then it's a good thing. There is also that old adage that if you enjoy what you are doing, then it is not wasted time. If blockchain technology will benefit them, then all the better.
Sir, you really say we play many video games, but we do not get any profit from it, but the word you say is that the name of this site may arise, @danizaharie
Will Ethereum scale for you ?
This is great news for the gamers out there. Gamers will be able to earn money while doing what they really love!!
Game time pass karne ke liye best.
Wow! This is great news for gamers all over the world. Now we won't just derive the campion feeling from victory from victory in our gaming adventure but also financial rewards. I can't wait to get my hands on this app.
It's a down day for the global cryptocurrency markets, with just three of the top 100 assets by market capitalization having posted 24-hour gains, data from Coinmarketcap
offers for Christmas, 25% OFF :)
Happy Christmas :)
As says John McAfee
Christmas sale is on <3 ATTACK!
This is such a good news for game players. Of course, the main purpose of playing some games is to win. We were born to be winners! But besides the pleasure of the game or being a winner, on this platform every player has the chanse to gain some money, to buy and sell shares. That's really good!
This is good news to gamers out there. But how about if someone wants to invest in it? Is That Possible @danizaharie
Anyway interesting article to read!
Thanks for sharing :)
Investors can register for pre-sale.
God I love Crypto. The people who think this stuff up are really from another planet. I have always had a fascination with stocks but never really had the time to get involved nor the money. This would be a prime opportunity to give it a go without breaking the bank. You never know, I may join the trade and become a bigwig broker. Really cool project!
this is actually huge !! i mean people mainly play games for fun or spending time and so , but to earn some extra money for that too this can actually turn it to a good benefit of time! , but do u actually think that this will go this far ?
I wouldn't be surprised if something similar will be created by someone or a group of people right here on steemit!
It's a very great news for gamers and crypto currencies. Steem sould be great for this also
The leaderboard will be determined by who got the most cash every week XD
Who bets the far east gamers will be swimming in ether before you know it?
I think this is a phenomenal idea, I am a medical student and I still play a lot of video games. I think there is a huge market for this and it would definitely intrigue me to be able to play and make money at the same time! I would have a couple of questions obviously: would we have to compete in tournaments and win to get paid? Or play casually and get paid?
Regardless, cool post and I will be following closely once this comes out! Briilleant idea though
They can't make it too easy. I assume you will be getting a few cents for daily quests and big bucks at tournaments.
Could be something like that, with the bigger the skill gap the better the rewards. Crypto is changing the world lol
I remember talking to a close buddy of mines friend, and the discussion turned to crytpcurrency. We talked a little, and then the discussion turned towards a game that he used to play where he would actually make money buy selling some of the his earnings... I forget what the game was called as this happened quite awhile ago, and not to mention he was only 11 years old when he was playing this game.
I don't know why but this really reminded me of your post, so I thought I would mention. Thanks for sharing
Regards from @conradsuperb
Yeah i've played a few games like that but what happens a lot is it becomes P2W even if they are not built that way, a full blown stock market in a game then I can only imagine what happens, still interesting to see how it develops and if it catches on. I bet the competition would be serious at least
many used to sell their accounts of high level characters for real money, so it's nothing new
If you're not a gamer, then you would have no idea
The way i understood this is it will be for tournaments? Will gamers earn by just playing the games casualy like Digibyte once had the feature where we played League of Legends/WoW/CS and casualy getting rewards in crypto.
Daily quests, plus tournaments most likely
The stock exchange is permanent. Any player can enter the market at any time and at any time exit it. He trades on his money and his main goal is to make a profit on every transaction.
In Stockus we make the stock market discrete: We split it into tournaments of different duration. A player can participate in the tournaments he likes: Fast or slower. In paid tournaments, where there is an entrance fee, or free. The main task of the player is to win the tournament, to be in the pool of winners. In this case he receives a part of the prize fund.
In all tournaments there are prizes. So it means that the best players win money. But in free tournaments the prizes are small and their goal is simply to encourage the player to learn more actively. Although in paid tournaments, we call them professional tournaments, prizes are the main goal of the game. And the newness of Stockus is that these prizes will be very large.
These prizes will be paid in our STT tokens, which the player can then exchange at any time for BTC or ETH, or for USD, EUR, GBP and so on.
In fact Stockus is a virtual stock broker.
This is not start yet... show pre- ICO
yes, the investors can buy tokens at special price from pre-ico. http://preico.stockus.io/
Ich finde die Idee super. Aus irgendeinem Grund komme ich nicht in den Chat. Klappt irgendwie mit der Anmeldung nicht. Mir geht es nicht primär um das Geld. Aber es ist eben schon hart, wenn man sehr aufwendige Beiträge postet und sie in der Versenkung verschwinden. Da muss man durch. Ich wäre schon für einen wöchentlichen Treff. Man muss ja nicht teilnehmen. Ich habe hinter mir ein paar weitere neue Mitglieder hinter her gezogen, die es noch wesentlich schwerer haben werden
According to me its happening now a days, most of the sites have option for gamers to play n win with ease.
I heard about it some time ago and actually there is already a cryptocurrency which was created to use for gamers. But i think it will come to mainstream 2019-2020. Now btc is good promotion for crypromarket around the world so maybe it will happen even sooner.
Very good initiative for the gamers who spent alot of their time playing games. Whats better job than to get paid by playing games. Informative post for the world of esports gaming.
I'm really starting to see more and more a revolution to a world where blockchain systems pay out everyone for just using internet (whether they entertain others, make art, play games, promote others, or just interact on those platforms like steemit). The future is bright my friends!
they need to lower the fees though, it's not worth the conversion right now
Good post!
Eve Online has a far more robust and complex in game economy than either WOW or GTA. Here is why:
95% of the items for sale on the market are manufactured by players which means the market and gameplay are interconnected to a far higher degree than any other game I have seen.
There is Station trading that utilizes the same types of graphs and logic as regular markets.
There is market PVP.
This is an amazing idea, thanks for bringing this to my attention. @danizaharie
Wow great news I think I will cease the opportunity to dive into stockus too. Thanks nice post you have I will start following you
Huh, this really has the potential to make an impact for gamers who want to monetize. Really adds a new level to "gamification", so to speak. Interesting read, thanks!
Amazing, Amazing, Amazing. I'm a gamer myself and seeing this is promising !
This would essentianlly turn any avg gamer into a "Pro" getting paid to play. Highly insentivises return players and referalls. Solid idea but will the gamers come? wont be easy drawing them away from the platforms they already know and trust. Def worth a shot though
I have been playing to game for 37 hours and i have never slept.how much do i earn money :D
Has the pre ico already finished?
The ICO is not started yet.
is there no start date yet? I couldn't find any info except the roadmap which seems to be behind schedule. The pre ICO seems super good compared to the other rounds, I'd be interested if I knew when it started.
good post @danizaharie
I really like the post
thank you for sharing the post, I really like it
I think it gona be great
l, thank you for posting this. It's so valuable to see the unedited work that goes behind the scenes, and I for one am very appreciative of this.
Thanks for everything,
This is huge especially for the gamer community, thanks for the heads-up.
What a better way to spend free time than enjoying your games and gaining rewards :)
Wow! This is best news I had a dream about such things
This is so lovely. Thanks for sharing ur knowledge with us, especially I , i have learnt alot from this write up. Please keep it up.
This is really the era of e-sports. Professional gamers now earn more than professional employees. How I wish I was born a little later...
