I'm not a gamer. Well I am, but truly old school. Pens paper counters. Dice. Figurines.
But I'm not a computer gamer. Sure I dabble, but I've yet to see a game that has hooked me in. That's not to say I'm not interested - I'm just not seriously looking.
What I am interested in at the moment, apart from writing (words and music), and being a good dad and husband, is blockchain. Specifically blockchain's power (potential, anyway) for creative disruption.
So I am drawn to those cryptos that have aimed a few steps beyond what others are doing. EOS. STEEM. AION. SmartCash. Power Ledger. Manna.
These cryptos are game changers (in my opinion - and if they realise their potential). They are so innovative that the industries they are aimed at don't even see the risk. And certainly not the potential.
And now, Chimaera has joined that list.
From the white paper (https://chimaera.io/downloads/Chimaera_White_Paper.pdf):
Imagine countless millions of players competing and cooperating in decentralised virtual realities that run serverless and unstoppable. In provably fair environments, they use their skill and intelligence to harvest resources and acquire rare artefacts that hold signi cant real world value.
What if developers could provide autonomous, decentralised worlds, rich in tradable virtual items for gamers? What if developers could go from concept to game release in less time and for less money without worrying about infrastructure costs (such as servers) and recurring costs (such as account administration)? What if we could offer true ownership, simple and safe trading methods for gamers to convert virtual items into real world value through an entirely exible system? What if both gamers and developers could share in a win-win outcome with both able to capitalise on new revenue streams and participate in thriving new economies? What if we could realise a substantial and growing demand for a cryptocurrency, increasing its utility and value for users?
To me, this represents the EOS of gaming blockchains. They've gone beyond the problem of monetising gaming and virtual items, to build the ecosystem where these issues are seamlessly incorporated into the design of the game from the ground up. I suspect gaming is just the start for this blockchain too...
The ICO started a few hours ago, and the discount is pretty cool at the moment. Worth checking out.

Crowdholding.com rocks - never seen it before but it's a great idea.
Pens papers counters, dice and figurines are truly old school but they never go out of style and still lots of fun. Anyways, back to the subject. Virtual reality combined with blockchain technology is certainly promising. I believe we are seeing the future of gaming now. I can't wait to see the technology to mature. Thanks for informing us of the upcoming ICO.
No worries. This tech, like so much else on blockchain, is smashing old ways of doing things.
