"CryptoKitTIes" is an electronic cat breeding and breeding game. Using Ethereum as the sole trading currency of the game, the children born by the two electronic cats will inherit their respective 256-bit genomes, such as appearance, personality and Features, etc., a total of 4 billion possibilities. From the launch of the game in November 2017 to December 3, 2017, the ETF's pending transactions almost did not break through 5,000, but on the 3rd, the pending transactions almost went up to around 4 am on the 4th. It has already exceeded 10,000. It has exceeded 15,000 in the afternoon of the same day. It touched the 20,000 mark at 6 am on the 5th. At present, the game's trading platform has completed the sale of at least 20,000 electronic cats, with a transaction volume of about $3.3 million.
[Clock chain cats] Project CryptoKitTIes burst red, what is this ghost? Pets based on blockchain technology are unique and unmodifiable, and the key and most expensive are being fired to millions of RMB! !
Today, ARinChina has arrived at Wen Daxia, a blockchain/virtual reality/augmented reality old fritter. The ultimate dream is ICO, an augmented reality concept combined with a digital coin under the blockchain!
ARC: Can you share the heartbeat of buying a cat first? Is there a general white operation? I also want to buy one to try!
Wen Daxia: I started to focus on blockchain technology and bitcoin and other digital currencies since 2015. With the outbreak of this field in 2017, I gradually began to invest in digital currency, and the main investment target is ether. currency.
Ethereum corresponds to the Ethereum system. Ethereum is known as the next generation of blockchain. It is an underlying system that enables smart contracts and open source on blockchains. Developers can use Ethereum to develop their own blockchain applications. "CryptoKitTIes" is a cloud-based cat game based on an application from Ethereum.
I am a person who loves cats and cats, so after seeing the news of this application in the information of Ethereum, I decided to try it. For the average white, the threshold is a bit high, or you need enough curiosity and patience to complete the cat industry.
First you need to know how to "scientific online" to install the chrome plugin. Secondly, for non-US users, first go to the digital currency trading platform to buy the Ethereum and then transfer it to the CryptoKitTIes account wallet, for those who have not invested in digital currency. In this case, it takes a lot of energy. In the end, how to choose the right cat, what kind of cat to mate, and how to sell the cat will require a deeper understanding of the characteristics of the CryptoKitties game. These online have already had more detailed tutorials, so if you are interested, you may wish to try boldly. Maybe you can breed a kitten to make you rich overnight.
ARC: How do you view the madness of CryptoKitties?
Wen Daxia: The crazy nature of CryptoKitties is an extension of people's blockchain and madness to digital currency.
First of all, it has only some entertainment value like ordinary online games. It has little substantive contribution to the real economy and the progress of blockchain technology. Therefore, it is relatively speculative and rarely held for a long time.
Secondly, it can't create value. Everyone who enters the game gets the money that other buyers recharge. The overall price trend depends on how many people put in the Ethereum;
Again, like many Internet products, the core advantage is creativity and start-up. It can indeed become a phenomenal product in a short period of time. However, as the people who entered the market continue to cash out, the game heats down and enters the market. The number of people will also drop, the number of departures will continue to increase, and the price of cats will continue to fall or even collapse;
Finally, CryptoKitties was originally designed to be a true electronic pet game. It can't keep users by attracting cat lovers and increasing game entertainment, so the end result is likely to be short-lived. Some people are happy.
ARC: There is also a company called CEEK VR, and youtube commented on it's gonna be HUGE!! Do you know the inside story?
Wen Daxia: CEEK VR is a company that manufactures VR hardware and is also operating the VR platform. It is using blockchain technology to enhance the artist's influence and connect with fans around the world through VR performances. Through this platform, singers and stage performers can host VR live concerts. Fans all over the world can experience without having to arrive at the scene. CEEK does not use a centralized registration and payment platform. Instead, it provides artists with the tools to distribute and sell crypto tokens. Fans can purchase these crypto tokens for VR concerts.
In fact, anyone with the talent and skills can use CEEK to create content and make money. For example, a martial arts expert can open a VR course at CEEK and sell it through CEEK tokens. At the same time, developers can create VR environments and provide them as venues for the CEEK blockchain market.
ARC: It is said that it is a very interesting experience to feel the blockchain in virtual reality, because all transactions are broadcast on the network through the blockchain, so if you can apply the concept of virtual reality to the blockchain So, what kind of improvement will the user experience get?
Wen Daxia: The combination of blockchain and virtual reality has been explored by foreign teams, namely Decentraland. The project uses VR technology to create a virtual social space for trading through virtual currency. Users can buy a piece of virtual land, build something on it, share experiences with friends and family, and even achieve revenue. It uses blockchains and smart contracts to ensure users have exclusive control over the virtual world. With this project Decentraland also issued its own token MANA coin.
In fact, not only virtual reality, but also areas such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, medical health, etc., have projects and tokens combined with blockchain. Blockchain, like the Internet, is a low-level technical support. Anyone who can take advantage of the decentralization of the blockchain, the need for encryption and confidentiality, and the need for payment transactions can provide product services and blockchains in the industry. Combined.
Therefore, applying the concept of virtual reality to the blockchain can increase the user experience of confidentiality, usability, etc. to a certain extent, but the combination between them does not appear to be so special.
ARC: The underlying technology in the blockchain field has little opportunity for startups. The vertical sector contains gold mines. Which areas do you prefer? What kind of gold mine is there?
Wen Daxia: The prospect of using blockchains in which areas depends on who needs the characteristics of the blockchain.
In view of the security and confidentiality of the blockchain, there are broad application prospects in the financial field, such as digital currency, super-books, electronic certificates, equity transactions, and so on.
In addition, for the unique and non-tamperable features of the blockchain, vertical applications such as electronic medical records, personal credit information, property rights protection, data surveys, etc. have also begun.
Therefore, we must first base ourselves on the industry and explore the application of the blockchain through the actual use scenarios while fully understanding our own needs.
It is worth mentioning that the blockchain is not a panacea. Not all scenarios need to be applied to the blockchain. At present, projects in many fields do not really need blockchains themselves. They just need to be wary of the phenomenon of blockchains.
ARC: Virtual reality can also help users better understand blockchain technology. In theory, virtual reality allows people to be in the blockchain and make the blockchain visualized. So, using cases such as smart contracts, can you explore more deeply and gather unexpected knowledge or ideas?
Wen Daxia: A major feature of virtual reality is that it can make people immersive and give full play to their imagination. Therefore, using this feature, the use of virtual reality expressions can indeed help people better understand the blockchain technology. However, to what extent it can help people explore the use of blockchain technology, how much unexpected knowledge and ideas are gathered, I think ultimately depends on the person behind.
ARC: If you want to send a currency related to virtual reality, how are you going to play? Is the virtual reality dog ​​developed?
Wen Daxia: If you let me prepare a virtual currency, then I think it is enough to make this currency reflect its value and continue to play its role. And for applications like “cloud catsâ€, people are more speculative, and it is almost impossible to continue to generate value.
For example, as an e-commerce platform, the blockchain technology is first used to record and maintain the trading behavior of the platform. Then, without the third-party credit guarantee, the security and stability of the transaction can be guaranteed, and the “official currency†of the platform is issued. The user obtains a "platform currency" reward by continuing transactions and paying on the platform, and the "platform currency" is used to pay for the cost of purchasing products and services on the platform.
