Because it’s such a new thing with no obvious standards and no effective oversight, a few bad apples pop up and influence the image of the whole ecosystem. This happens since forever. People still transfer money to The Nigerian Prince.

With Elrond Giants, we want to build trust first

We started as a public team revealing our identities, making sure it’s obvious who we are. We’re working on creating a company to incorporate the project and navigate all the grey areas so we can build a community-led and solid project at the same time. The plan is to build in public, be transparent and get as much feedback as we can.

We plan to build a validator node on Elrond, plant 10k trees, build a meta village and the economics around it, and a few other projects that merge technology, community, and new business models while partnering with other organizations so we can build more value together. We’re building step by step, having the big picture in mind.

Community-led growth

Building with the community has one major advantage: you get to start from day one with the first 1000 fans at least. Imagine having 5000 investors in your startup. How much knowledge could they bring to your project? How much value you can gather if each would contribute with a few ideas on what to do better and where to search that answer you’re looking for. And everyone is interested to help because they get something out of it as well. It’s like a cap table on steroids.

With Elrond Giants, we already have 2k users in our Discord channel and we already learned so many things from them. We know what we want to build in the long term but we adapt with each new step and try to learn as much as we can and build with the community, for the community.

Practical solutions

NFTs (non-fungible tokens) as new technology and blockchains in general open a wide range of possibilities. There are so many new things you could build that were not as easy before or that nobody thought of. If nothing else, it’s a big paradigm shift that comes with a lot of support for new projects in this space.

With NFTs, you can sell digital art and earn royalty even after the first sale. You buy and trade collectibles of any sort. You can create virtual clubs and use them as membership cards. You can play games, earn and own your characters and asset. And there are probably too many ideas to even mention. There’s probably an opportunity for any business or community you may have.

I’m not saying there’s a big problem and your life would be awful if you didn’t start to look into NFTs and blockchain. But you probably want to. Sooner rather than later.

If you’re interested in our project, Elrond Giants, join us on our Discord channel and check our website for the latest updates. If you’re interested in NFTs in general or need help with a project contact me on Linkedin and let’s have a talk.

I see so many questions from various people that, what is the potential that Pi Network can reach in the future and when will we be paid by those who mined this “cryptocurrency”?

My justified answer is that this “cryptocurrency” will never be listed, and I mined it a year or two ago but then I realized, I did some research and I came to the conclusion that only those who created it “cryptocurrency” will win!

And why did I come to this conclusion? Read on and I’ll explain exactly why …

Pi Network says crypto mining is difficult, investing in crypto is risky, and many of us are left out of the crypto revolution.

What should we understand from this?

Pi Network is trying to tell us that they are coming up with a solution. But let’s take each side and explain as best we can how exactly we are to reach a final conclusion!

As Pi Network says that crypto mining is hard, I’m telling you it’s not as hard as it sounds, anyone can mine, but indeed Bitcoin mining has become harder and harder, but that doesn’t mean you you who read this article can not easily mine some cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin or Ethereum!

“Investing in crypto is risky” but isn’t driving risky? And crossing the street on the crosswalk is risky, absolutely everything we do is risky!

“Many are left out of the crypto revolution” Who exactly is left out of the crypto revolution? Those who have not heard of crypto or those who think it is a total scam. It’s nonsense from Pi Network!

Nowadays it is very easy to invest in crypto, but of course, people are left behind by this revolution if they are not educated!

Pi Network is trying to solve something but it doesn’t really solve anything. They try to bring an adoption, to create accessibility to enter the crypto world without risking money.

But how do you make money without risking money? And if you want to mine, you still need a pretty good computer with a good enough video card to mine and make some money.

At the moment, the only ones who make money from Pi Network are the developers. Users, those who mine and enhance the application receive nothing but pi currency and hope that in the future it will be worth something!

Pi mining is quite easy, as they say, every 24 hours you have to press something and start mining, but every time you mine you will receive an Ad, an advertisement. Think about how much money these developers actually made from this project! I tell you, many!

If I can get a good, but you can also get a good, totally free, it means that goodwill never has value! So I answered all your questions about Pi Network!

Beware of such projects, do some research and come to a conclusion. You better learn to invest and enter the crypto world because it’s just the beginning. You still have time to enter, but the sooner the better!

Todas estas áreas que están teniendo como mierda de crecimiento tienen algo en común. No sé exactamente qué es, para serte sincero. Algunos dicen el uso de tokens, otros dicen la descentralización. La palabra web3 está en boca de todos pero creo que va incluso más allá. Creo que es algo como el internet, se pensó mucho qué es lo que iba a brindar pero nadie se lo pudo imaginar en este calibre.

Dejando de lado la terminología, las formas en las que las tecnologías están siendo desarrolladas es increíble. Desde equipos totalmente internacionales, hasta diferentes zonas horarias, idiomas, ideas, etc. Estas personas tan distintas buscan puntos en común y por esto es que se está mezclando tecnología (código y servidores más que nada) en aristas nunca antes vistas. Los programadores de todo el mundo están aprendiendo rapidísimo de otras áreas y están poniendo de cabeza las finanzas, real state, derecho legal, medicina, etc. Es una locura de velocidad de innovación. Tengo una hipótesis de porqué pero es para otro blog.

Hay veces en la biología evolutiva que se discuten unos eventos genéticos en los que en pocas generaciones ocurren innovaciones rápidamente. Imagínate un megaterremoto, un meteorito gigantesco, entre otros eventos catastróficos que cambian el ecosistema de forma abrupta. Los animales tienen que mutar rápido y acondicionarse a nuevas formas de vida, ecosistemas, mutaciones de otros animales, etc. Creo que algo parecido está ocurriendo acá. La pandemia fue un catalizador fuertísimo para romper los esquemas tradicionales de empresas. En solo meses, todo online, todo programado.

Antes se innovaba con una nueva empresa por industria, que le iba bien y que cambiaba algunas cosas. Esta era recompensada con clientes, ingresos o capital de riesgo. Lo que se ve ahora, es que toda la industria diverge del estado convencional y busca la valiosa gema de la innovación. Toda la industria se mueve para ver cómo ganar en esta jungla de mutaciones. ¿Copiar la competencia? Qué aburrido. Todos quieren innovar y ser distintos para hallar la manzana prohibida. Creo que es lo que eventualmente pasaría si en todos los cursos de innovación te hablan de cómo murió Blockbuster por no innovar y que todos podemos construir el siguiente Facebook o Google en nuestro garaje. Pero lamentablemente es cierto. El que consiga esto, será el que más innove y le gane a la competencia al tener la mejor mutación para adaptarse al nuevo ecosistema.

Hay veces que me joden bastante porque me dicen que tengo que converger en algo. Enfocarme en un proyecto, arista, tecnología, carrera, etc (inclusive en mis blogs, te prometo que cierro la idea inicial de crypto, solo sigue leyendo). Pero se me hace demasiado difícil si tengo un evento evolutivo de esa magnitud frente mio en el mundo crypto.

Igual creo que hay mucha gente con “trabajos tradicionales” identificándose. Piensan en emprender, hacer su negocio con su carrera, o algo totalmente diferente como hacer postres, vender ropa, o alguna otra cosa. Hay diferentes formas de trabajo que pueden llenarte personal, económica y profesionalmente y eso está haciendo que cada vez sea más difícil para la gente trabajar en algo que no les guste. Algunas de estas empresas/proyectos les va muy muy bien y pareciera que las personas se realizan de igual manera. El tener tantas oportunidades y opciones, deja un eterno rechazo del costo beneficio.

Creo que todas estas personas terminarán llegando al “mundo crypto”, de alguna u otra manera. Por diferentes beneficios de cada una de estas aristas que voy a tocar*. No será evidente. Así como la gran, gran, gran mayoría de gente no tiene idea cómo funciona el internet (literalmente son todas las computadoras del mundo conectadas por cables), y lo usan por posiblemente más de 10 horas diarias, crypto estará en cada tecnología que uses sin que tengas la más mínima idea de lo que es. La pregunta es, ¿quieres ser de los que sabe qué está pasando o no?

*(en diferentes artículos, pero lo harán)

Los temas relacionados al mundo crypto no tienen por qué ser tan duros y técnicos. Hay muchas aristas en las que nos van a afectar como personas particulares y como sociedad, por lo que tienen que ser discutidos también desde estos puntos de vista.

Si te gustó mandaselo a alguien y te invito a suscribirte a La Crypta, que es una revista que escribo con un par de amigos todas las semanas en la que hacemos un análisis económico del mundo crypto además de contar algunas noticias relevantes.

In this publication, we have compiled the AMA session that conveniently took place.

Q1. Let’s start with you, can you tell us briefly about yourself and your place in Kingdom Karnage?

Sam:

My name is Sam and I’m the Community and Events Manager at Kingdom Karnage. My job is to basically ensure you guys always have something fun to be doing :-)

Currently, we run two types of weekly events1) Bounties — At the start of each week we put up a list of “target cards” that we challenge the community to loot, the first one to do so wins a prize (usually a card pack)

2. Weekend events — We’re putting in place a regular rotation of around 4 events that take place over a weekend period. There’s an event EVERY weekend! One that was extremely popular was our double diamond weekend, where for the weekend period all diamond loots are doubled.

The above is just a normal week! We also have Seasonal events, our most successful one being at Christmas where our very popular event character Skellimas visits. Beat Skellimas and the dungeon boss during December to receive your very own Skellimas NFT — This card will never drop outside of December, and currently has a longer range than any other Character, meaning he’s usually very interesting to trade.

Expect to see more seasonal characters and event mechanics as time goes on. We will almost definitely be introducing a new event character this year, you’ll have to join us to find out which holiday :-)

Q2. Could you please introduce the Kingdom Karnage project and your vision to us?

Sam:

Kingdom Karnage is an Animated Combat NFT Trading Card Game currently playable cross-platform from Browser, Google Play & Steam.

Simple to play, hard to master. Kingdom Karnage equips you with an army of up to 30 cards, and challenges you to deplete the health of the enemy hero before his army is able to defeat yours!

Characters and Equipment are not just virtual assets, they are also NFT’s, powered and infused with Enjin Coin. Players can trade the NFTs on the Enjin Jumpnet Blockchain and in the future Enjin’s Efinity.

Q3. Each project has interesting stories before it is created. So can you tell people about the story that gave you the motivation to build and develop such a great project like yours?

Sam:

Both Nick (The developer and founder) and I have had bad experiences in other games in the past. Players were investing a lot of time and effort, and then had nothing to show for it when they moved on. This forced users to use the black markets to sell their items where they risk having their accounts blocked, or being scammed.

We wanted to create an experience where players are winning assets that they can see the value of on a marketplace. If you loot a card you don’t want, we want you to be able to sell it and buy a card you do want. If you reach a different stage of your life and no longer have time for gaming we want you to be able to cash out your assets.

This is a trading card game after all. Trading is encouraged, and is currently getting more and more supported, with an in-game auction house and item rentals being added early next year.

Q4. Could you tell us about the Kingdom Karnage team and their background?

Sam:

Even as a small team, we already have staff in America, Europe, and the UK.

Nick, our Developer, and Founder has a brings a wealth of experience in the cryptocurrency industry both from his personal interests and his background working at the popular cryptocurrency exchange Kriptomat

Kandi our lead artist has worked on many companies/projects, the most notable being her stint at EA games where she worked on “Simpsons: Tapped out”

I myself actually began as a player at Kingdom Karnage! I’ve been in the crypto space since 2018 however and have been heavily into crypto gaming which allows me to incorporate positive experiences I’ve had elsewhere into some of our ideas for Kingdom Karnage.

Q5. What does a user need to start playing Kingdom Karnage? Can we play for free and how will we get a profit?

Sam:

100% free to get started. You don’t even need to have a cryptocurrency wallet (You can sort this later if you want to later trade etc). Our Campaign will supply you with bound cards which will act as a decent starter deck for you to play the other modes.

The main way you can play2earn right now is from asset sales. Assets drop in the game frequently, with a minimum of 1 blue gem in our lowest dungeon (5 gems = an NFT character), even the worst luck person will get a character every 5 dungeons, in reality they rate will be better as they will also get character loots in the dungeons.

When $KKT is launched expect many more ways to earn, $KKT drops ingame, an asset rental system, sponsorships are all things which you can expect fairly quickly.

Let me post the roadmap so you can see everything else thats coming:

Q6. One of the main components of any project is a community. How do you plan to tell the world about yourself?

Sam:

We have just this second finished a gleam contest that had 40,000 entrants! For a period it put us in the top space on playtoearn.net, above Axie Infinity!

We’re currently working with partners to create youtubes and official Telegram communities with localised language support. We currently have in place community partnerships for: Chinese, Filipino, French, Indian, Indonesian, Persian, Russian, Spanish, and Vietnamese. These partnerships help spread the word about the game in a user’s native tongue expanding our reach dramatically.

We’re already cross-platform with the game on pc and android. We plan to add IOS early next year, which will expand us into a whole new gaming community!

We’re also currently looking to onboard a YouTuber full time to the team, ideally one that speaks and can produce videos in at least 2 different languages.

Q9. Where can our community members participate in IDO? Are any contests for allocations or tokens open now?

Sam:

We will be holding IDOs at:

Enjinstarter (11th Jan),

Red Kite (12th Jan),

GameFI (13th Jan)

Unfortunately, as I mentioned above, we just yesterday finished a gleam contest for both a token airdrop and whitelist allocation. I’m almost definitely sure we’ll open another contest soon however, I think there’s enough time for 1 more before launch :-)….. Keep an eye on our Twitter!

Q1. On your website, I learned that Kingdom Karnage will be on both Binance Smart Chain & Jumpnet. What are the advantages of these blockchains and will more blockchains be added in the future?

Sam:

To clarify it’s just $KKT that will be both Binance Smart Chain and JumpNet. It makes sense that the token is on JumpNet as that’s where the game assets currently are and transactions are currently gasless. Unfortunately, Jumpnet smart contracts won’t be ready in time for our launch, so JumpNet will be added at a later date. Binance Smart Chain is being used as the sole chain for $KKT at launch, as it’s cheap gas and is a place we can easily provide liquidity for the token to be traded.

In the future, we will likely add Enjin Efinity support, which is on the Polkadot parachain. Who knows what cross-chain possibilities that will bring with time!?

Q2. How is this project protected from possible whales and fraud? What kind of protection system does it use for user funds? In general, how do I know that my investment will be completely safe, do you give any security?

Sam:

Most of the $KKT tokens at launch have a vesting period, as I touched on in an earlier question, it takes 3 years for the team’s tokens to fully unlock.

We are currently having an audit done with industry leaders Certik. The audit will be completed before the $KKT token launch, you can follow the status of that here: https://www.certik.com/projects/kingdom-karnage

We will also be incentivizing users to lock their tokens up in our Midas Vault. Users will receive rewards while their tokens are here such as the chance to vote and receive $KKT from the voting pool but also level up an exclusive in-game character, Midas. The more $KKT you have locked up the better both of these rewards will be, so “whales” should be just as incentivized as the rest of the players to lock their $KKT in the Midas vault.

Q3. I want to invest in the project, but I can’t find information about tokenomics and vesting. Can you share this information with the community?

Sam:

Absolutely, I believe the information you are after is on kingdomkarnage.com/KK-Token… but let me post a screenshot of the tokenomics too…

As you can see even our team tokens are completely locked for 1 year, and in total take 3 years to fully unlock!

Q4. Tell us more about the “Dev Challenge” section of your guide on the website. What will the challenge consist of, and what benefits can I get for winning and participating?

Sam:

The basic principle of the dev challenge is Nick (our dev) and sometimes some other team members will be in a special “event” PvP mode. Each time there will be a set prize. Simply beat the Dev/team member to win the prize. For example, the prize might be an uncommon card pack.

No doubt after it gets going we’ll add additional flavors…. perhaps speed mode, maybe where you guys use Nick’s deck instead…. perhaps you’ll even get the chance to team up with a partner in a 2v2 mode, taking on Nick and me together!

Q5. I read Kingdom Karnage has some special characters that are really dynamic and rarely change. Are dynamic cards produced with a limited supply? because the number of these cards does not increase as the number of players increases. How does Kingdom Karnage reflect true rarity?

Sam:

The basic principle of our dynamic cards is we produce a fixed number of cards (our latest one, Velkan has 2,000). At the point of their introduction these cards are set as common characters.

As the community grows, the card itself both levels and increases in rarity. This is why they reflect true rarity, when the card is introduced there will be enough for all players to own one. By the time it’s leveled enough to be legendary, there will only be 1 card per 100 players (So for Velkan he will become legendary when we hit 200,000 players in a 30 day period), and even once legendary, the dynamics will only get rarer as the game continues to grow due to their fixed supply.

With the big influx of players lately some of the Dynamics are leveling up fast! Velkan has already leveled up once this week and we’re expecting he’s going to level up again!

Only Velkan is currently available in our store, Crimson Paladin and Mistress of Nightmares can only be bought from other players on the JumpNet marketplace.

Arkania Protocol has been created out of a need that the industry has yet to perform in a satisfactory manner.

First, a secure platform where people from different places can come together and partake in the latest token launches, without the need to worry about issues like security, safety and scammers. Secondly, the option for people from different networks to access tokens from other blockchains which have the potential to be the next golden egg.

The Arkania Protocol is the answer to both of these. A solid platform with world-class security and a safe environment, we developed Arkania to serve both projects and their users. Our platform gives both parties a chance to seek out each other. The projects get access to a plethora of investors and backers that gives them a much higher chance of a successful launch while in the reverse users get access to proper vetted token launches that have been tested for security, anti-fraud activities and have a financial growth in the future.

But to run this, a common denominator is needed and that is where our ANIA token comes in. Token holders are given a variety of services, including discounts, future staking and using ANIA as a commitment tool for future IDOs.

The most anticipated token of the year, ANIA is your answer to opening the doors to easy and early investments in the most anticipated token launches. Today, we feel proud that our effort to provide the perfect solution has borne fruit and the native BEP-20 ANIA token is finally live!

If you have taken part in our ANIA launch and have received congratulations from our team, we formally welcome you to Arkania world. To know more about our token on the blockchain, you can check out the smart contract address here. The ANIA tokens from presale will be distributed to all successful participants on 11th January 2022.

To ensure that everyone has a chance, we have specifically designed our tokenomics to assist users. A whopping 41% of our 100 million ANIA token supply (41 million) has been designated for our fair distribution. The rest of the distribution is as follows:

Marketing: 13% to promote ANIA and the Arkania Protocol.

Development: 10% is set aside to support the development and future upgrades.

Partnerships: 10% is for strategic partnerships with other platforms for growth and expansion.

Team: 10% of ANIA are fixed for the internal team for their compensation.

Staking: 4% is allocated for staking pools.

Advisors: 2% ANIA is set aside for our valued advisors for their services.

Liquidity: 10% of total ANIA (10 million) have been added to liquidity, starting with Pancakeswap later this month for ease of a decentralized swapping experience for users.

To give confidence to our patrons, we have also put in a lock period for the tokens vested for the developers, team, advisors and the marketing budget, with 10% released per month. The total vested and locked tokens for these purposes make up 35% of the total supply (35,000,000 ANIA) only.

Catering to the largest issues faced in the decentralized world of today, Arkania offers a platform where projects and potential investors can connect to discover each other. Projects are evaluated before being shortlisted on our platform in terms of security, safety and viability. This allows Arkania patrons to get access to the most anticipated token launches and at the same time offers projects the opportunity to save time and effort they would spend on marketing and getting in touch with potential users.

To know more about our ANIA token and how to get your hands on the hottest token of 2022, visit our website or get in touch with us on our social media accounts:

Meaning, we don’t have a lack of tax revenue, we have a spending problem. They claim we need a larger IRS to combat the tax fraud we’ve been “dealing with”. This is incorrect and inflated. Rep. David point’s out fraud is less than 2% of the total amount of the total fiscal budget.

So let’s get this straight, we currently pay taxes to a corporation (FED), to not only use all incoming capital to “spend”, but OVERSPEND to the point where borrowing is indefinite. The system doesn’t work. Admit it.

I’m not one to pay to the Federal Government, I know for a fact they are not the experts when it comes to societal capital allocation. State and local taxes we can directly influence and save though, and here’s how!!!

play.anghami.com

In the Podcast above, Andrew from Popular Liberty details his “Anti-Tax” plan for local communities. I highly recommend listening to it.

This “Anti-Tax” plan works pretty simply. Most US cities have cash reserves from tax revenue. Anywhere from 10%-30%, with almost all sit as cash and roll over into the new budget cycle. Most cities are actually good at keeping true to their books and not overspending unlike the Federal Government.

The plan illustrates the cities to take these reserves and essentially put them to work in some sort of fund. Invest this capital into stocks, local businesses, diversify for comfort and sustainability. With the market growth and time, this fund will grow large enough to bring in more revenue than the actual taxes. This allows people to provide a solution to future generations, we’re giving our kids the option to not be crippled by taxes like we’ve been!!!

We can go one step further and use tax revenue in the crypto space. Crypto has so many nuance possibilities to help the Anti-Tax plan as well. Local communities and devise protocols that pool funds of tax payers to grow instead of lose value. We could also create of governance token on said protocol to allow tax payers direct say in the pool. Makes everything transparent and allows the community to vote on where their taxes go.

A great option for communities to protect and grow their wealth is DRIP.

“The DRIP Network’s Faucet is a low-risk, high reward contract that operates similarly to a high yield certificate of deposit by paying out 1% daily return on investment up to 365%. Players can compound and extend their earnings through deposits, hydrating (compounding) rewards as well as through team based referrals.”

To break down DRIP is simply, its a Contract ( Faucet) you fund with Capital. You use DRIP token to deposit into and you are paid back in DRIP token. This allows the Contract to always pay because its a native token. 1% Daily ROI for 365 days… Compounding everyday for 365 comes to 10% Daily ROI.

Essentially, communities can use DRIP to store their wealth in a protected and safe manner rather than leave it in cash and watch it burn from inflation. We can tell by DRIP’s growth numbers, a small business’s monthly profits could very well turn into a yearly amount of operation costs within a year. I’ll repeat, a small business can take a month of profit and invest in DRIP, and could end up with a DRIP balance that’ll cover their YEARLY operation costs within ONE year.

I’d read more about DRIP from our team!!!

Is DRIP a scam? I’m confident it isn’t a scam, here are some Facts around this project…
