I hope you all have been HODLing too the past few months. Things feel like they may have turned a corner, and #DCity is again bullish. I'm ecstatic. As mentioned last week, the simulation is now on DAPP Radar, and there has been a decline in tax rates the past week. The current president, @eythorphoto , recently nailed his own Lutheresque, DCity "Theses" to the Hive blockchain this past week. Exciting times, indeed...
So first and foremost, how have taxes looked. Much improved, I'd dare say:
The 7 DMA is now under 75%. I like this, not only for my own reinvestment plan, but I think this will help future demiurges looking to start their own simulation. Archons, of course, will likely be involved too.
Last week's benefits for me included:
- +2 Workers trained
- +4 Gamer cards earned thanks to Splinterlandsfest
- +1 Scientist trained
- +1 AI Tech card earned
- +1 Printer Upgrade Tech card earned
Now are my favorite charts of this week's update:
As I mentioned before, exciting times indeed.
I'm going to begin tracking a new metric for my simulation going forward. I don't have enough data points yet, but starting next week, I'll plot out my rankings in the following categories as time progresses:
- Income
- Popularity
- Population
- Education
- Creativity
I think this new "KPI" will be helpful for me to determine what to concentrate on. I historically have only concentrated on reinvesting SIM into good payback cards in terms of daily SIM; now, however, I want my simulation to be more well-rounded. I want to gain the benefits of the five core categories above to optimize as many passive income benefits as possible from #DCity.
And, at the end of the day, I want to continue to a) earn, b) reinvest, and c) have patience.
Thanks for checking out my summary for the past week. Until the next weekend, I continue to HODL strong.
That’s great man! I have definitely been enjoying the rise in my SIM earnings. I can finally get back to buying cards again! I’ll have to do some calculations but hoping that my valuation is a few hundred dollars. I am torn between buying second and third edition cards. I really want a military complex but I’m liking the third edition cards and it’s more worker based stat instead of population or popularity. I don’t need anymore unemployed lol
How nice would it be if this took off like Splinterlands? Between that game, DCity, and even blogging on Hive, we could be making some serious passive income. I love it!
I also started a farm in DCrops...have you looked at that one? I might buy a pack or two a week and give it a go for a bit...who knows, lol?
Lol oh man there’s another one now?! I haven’t heard of DCrops lol.
Makes me want to get off my butt and get to figuring out how to develop the game I have in mind! I think it would be a pretty fun game. I have the name, characters and a bunch of details worked out. I just don’t know how to build it hahaha.
Yeah, it's kind of fun - very easy (my kind of game, lol). The current Dcity prez pointed it out to me last weekend...I'm a sucker for these types of games.
You should definitely program that; now is the time! I keep thinking about all these NFT / play to earn games are out there, but the simplicity of use, player appeal, stories, characters, ecosystem of Splinterlands really makes that the one people really enjoy. If I could program something, I'd definitely follow that type of model.
